I completely forgot about that while I was writing and figured I'd keep going with her as Tangle.
Taking a look at the map in the CSE, the Former Overland loosely corresponds to the Northeast corridor. Old & New Megaopolis for NYC, while MegaCentral is further west.
Its her full name, but...
Wango Tangle

"Auntie Tangle, could you tell me a bedtime story?"
I stopped at the door, pondering my predicament. I was only sticking my head in so that Rosie could have the night off for once. After all, how hard could it be to make sure all the kids were in bed at the right...

Chapter 32: Enshadowed Fraternity
Oh Grandfather Dimitri, look at the mess you've made.
For almost every member of the Brotherhood of Guardians, the clandestine stewards of the Floating Island, the return of Enerjak was nothing less than the worst-case scenario. Enerjak was two...
ENTRY #4: THE LOST TRIBE OF ECHIDNAS
AUTHOR NOTE: This datafile is derived from an original document brought to you by Storyteller222, with revisions from myself. You can check out his Ko-fi here.
The echidnas are an ancient people whose ruins can be found across Eurish, Soumerca, and the...
The next post is already in progress.
Sonic Adventure is so far off that there's plenty of time for her to meet the Knothole team later. No guarantees she's going to Station Square, of course, but it's not like she's never meeting the main cast because her first meeting in canon got butterflied...

Chapter 31: Picking up the Pieces
We spent a whole day searching through the Sandopolis Desert until we could all say with something approaching confidence that Enerjak was dead. The nearby dunes were coated in hundreds of crystalline shards, a hazard I had to sweep up before anyone...
Once I hit another milestone, I reckon I might do a "What If Sequel" vote to determine if any of these will make a comeback. Otherwise, I'd treat them as one-and-dones.
Hyperstone Rhapsody
Very Non-Canon Bonus Bonus
It was a cool, quiet night in the African shrublands when we stopped the Neutrinos' flying convertible over a blighted hole in the ground that was once a major mining complex. At least, I had to assume it was fairly quiet, until a bright red hotrod...
As an update, I am calling the vote early because my muse did a thing and wrote over 3000 words in a day again, for the second time this month. Readers will be recieving Wango Tangle in the near future and one other What If Bonus I finished yesterday, before resuming our regularly-scheduled Ruby...
Please vote on which of these scenarios you'd like to see as the next Bonus Chapter!

That reminds me! Angela Hopkins is supposed to be dead on that family tree. I fixed it on another version of this tree I did with images, but I'm hoping onto it until I have the chance to write blurbs for each family member. Among other things on my "to do" list.
KINTOBOR FAMILY TREE - 1.0 VERSION
Normal Box - Canon character, mentioned or otherwise.
"Sketchy" Box - Ruby Haze addition.
† - Deceased.
🚀 - In space!
I was going to make a brief blurb and append an image to each one, but the final count is 25 people. Which is a lot to make up on the spot...
The wiki doesn't state why Queen Alicia's illness or injuries couldn't be fixed by a normal ring, thus necessitating they try to use the Ring of Acorns that Amy used on accident.
Since you reminded me about that storyline, I'm gonna check the specific issues involving it later. Knowing how the...

Super Scarlet Special 1: Shattering Narcissus
It was immediately after we’d gone super and made the declaration that we were going to beat Enerjak as a united front that I felt the division start to reassert itself. I was me, the other guy was himself, and we were a temporary...

Chapter 30: Plucking Narcissus, Part 2
When one guy declared to the other that they're not going to stop fighting until at least one of them was dead, that tended to be when the conversation ended. Mighty and I were past the point of talking this out, staged to duel in an active...
Update!
I had to go back and make some revisions to Chapter 29 because the part with Metal Sonic and the SI was difficult to parse. Not just for readers, but for me on a reread. So I went back, and it should be easier to tell what's going on there.
Now I can work on the next one!
ENTRY #3: GOLDEN HIVE COLONY
A beautiful flower on Northamer’s western coast, the Golden Hive Colony is a city state whose contemporary existence is rooted in the most recent Day of Fury, in the early 3100s. The Queen Bee Dynasty is rumored to go as far back as the Forgotten Wars, though with...

It'd been quite a while since I'd had to deal with performance anxiety. Usually, it kicked up something fierce before I was about to run a session of one of my regular campaigns, if I knew the stakes that night were going to be particularly...
I take my April Fools very seriously! Same with the bonus chapters.
I'll consider it, but I may not revisit Ruby Underground for a while. Main story first, bonus chapters later. It'd be one of those "we'll see when the mood strikes again" things, though knowing people would like to see more is...
