[An hour or so after bed, Elicia hears something creak. It's harmless and probably something like a tree scratching something, or a mouse finding its way. But it sparks a barrage of images within this small child's brain that would probably make a therapist shake their heads. Things like floating objects and scary figures and things under her bed oh god. Acute paranoia tonight, this one. So she speaks in a really low whisper as though she's on a secret mission, hidden up to her ears in blanket. Must be a nice windy winter night.]

Um....

Are ghosts real? They aren't, right? But—But I guess good ghosts are okay! Do those count? Are they real either?

[Her eyes dart from one side of the room to the other, and she's totally expecting something scary to happen on one side or the other. Any minute now. No, no, be brave, there's nothing going on. Nothing at aaaaall. ;~;

Gulp.]

Oh! New Feathers are here, too... huh...

I'm Elicia, and I'm six years o—

[rustle rustle]

Meep!

[...And back under the sheets. Yup.]

Annoying little pests! They must think they're so smart, hiding in my headquarters and spooking my robots!

They spook your robots?

[Sigh, my life. Spooky things errwhere.]

...They're really scary, huh...

Ghosts are hardly terrifying! My robots just need to have backbones installed! [He remembers his own encounters with ghosts, not to mention Sonic dealing with them.] Ghosts hate being touched. If one jumps out on you, you just give it a swift whack on the noggin and it'll run away! Ho ho ho!

Oooh, so that's how you make the ghosts go away... But you should be careful! What if they all fight you together? I bet a lot of ghosts at once would be real bad...!

When ghosts band together, they merge to form one giant super-ghost! That usually requires heavy explosive ordinance...

S-scary! You mean they can turn into one big ghost??

For all the good it does them! You should see them trying to fit through a doorway! Baaa ha ha ha!

...

[hehehe!]

That must look funny! [|D] I thought ghosts could go through walls!

Not when they're all clumped together! Then they just bump into things and look silly! Ho ho ho! And they think they're so scary! My laser says otherwise!

Whooooa, you can use lasers?

Not only use them, but build them too!

You know how to build them, too?? You must be real real smart! Are you a scientist?!

Ho ho! Yes! I'm Doctor Eggman, the world's most brilliant scientist!

Eggman? That's a funny name!

I'm Elicia! What kinds of cool things do you make?

[No, that's not a funny name. It is a clever and wonderful and brilliant name. Eggman will scowl momentarily but he can't resist the urge to rant a little.]

Ahem! I make all kinds of brilliant things! Real works of genius! My specialty is giant mechas, huge robots with oodles of lasers and missiles and flashing lights! Ho ho ho! But I've built so many other fantastic and wonderful works! Pinball machines the size of cities, theme parks, circuses and battle ships! [Totally showing off here. Don't get sleepy now.]

W-whoa! You really make circuses and parks?!

[THAT SHIT IS SO CASH, MAN.]

Indeed I do! Ho ho! I don't think I'd be lying if I said my themeparks have the fastest rollercoasters in the entire world! Not to mention all the other splendid attractions I've built over the years! My rides make Luceti Land look like a mere playground in comparison!

R-really?! Even better?

Maybe you can build a cool amusement park here! I dunno anyone else who could make something that cool...!

I should! But somehow I doubt the Malnosso would approve such a project.

They're bad guys, anyway!! Who cares what they say about building cool amusement parks!

Ho ho ho! I don't give a rotten egg what the Malnosso approve of, but I hardly have the resources to build a whole amusement park in Luceti without their help. As it is, the most I could probably master is a playground.

... Some playgrounds are really fun, though!

Maybe you can ask them for parts?

I suppose it couldn't hurt to try. I should go and work on some designs immediately! [Nevermind it being the middle of the night.] Perhaps for that playground I mentioned, too!

Yeah!! You'll be one of the coolest people in Luceti! Like, ever ever!! 'Cus you'll be making everyone real happy!

The coolest in Luceti? Really?!

[Eggman sounds in awe and disbelief at this idea.]
