Game is high_seas!

[mostattitude]

Dude, what are you doing? Don't come crawling over here begging for a Leo, we're doing just fine without him! What does our fearless leader know about being a pirate anyway, I bet I can captain a ship just as well as he can!

Anyway, you've got Donnie already, he'll probably build some interdimensional portal space hopper...thing, you know, with SCIENCE or whatever, and we'll be home before Leo even knows we're gone.

And Mikey—

...Well like I said, Donnie's useful.

Look, just stop whining already and let me go punch that lame Navy Admiral in the face! Yeah yeah, so he's a giant, big deal. We can take him!



...........Alright so maybe Leo would be a little helpful.

Excuse me, we're not "begging" for a Leo, we're asking for one because frankly, I don't want to spend my next few days of a pirate horribly dying. You really need to think these things trough. Or, you know, think anything through.

Anyway, Leo's the best strategist and we'll need him so we can get shards so I can build an interdimensional portal--since funny thing about those? They need ginormous amounts of power. I can't just stick Mikey on a treadmill and hope for the best. Also I'd need some kind of material that can conduct and amplify that power... I wonder if it's anything like electricity... Which is another thing, how come there's refrigerators presumably powered by electricity but nothing that goes with the advent of that particular technology?

[mostattitude]

How the heck should I know? You're supposed to be the smart one, you figure it out.

Or don't, because I'm so not complaining about having a working refrigerator and there are SLIGHTLY more important things you should be working on! I saw we go with this treadmill thing until either you're sure it doesn't work or Mikey falls on his face.

[waywithmachines]

I'd like to say shoddy world building, but I'm telling you it's not going to work with Mikey on a treadmill because he'd have to run the equivalent of sixty miles an hour every two seconds. Will you pay attention to the details instead of just fixating on the general situation and think you got it all? Because, newsflash, you don't. And thinking that way is what gets us into trouble.

Also don't tell me what to concentrate on because I think my priorities are way more organized than yours.

[mostattitude]

Hey, my priorities are just fine. Get threatened by Navy dude, kick Navy dude's butt. The rest'll work itself out eventually!

...But seriously, 'eventually' is too long, so you should hurry it up with the science thing blah blah blah insert technology babble here yadda yadda just get us home, man. I haven't had pizza in weeks, I'm starving.

[waywithmachines]

No, get threatened by Navy dude, avoid detection. Remember the whole 'ninja' part? Anyway the Navy is equivalent to the police force of this world, you think we're going to go after the police force just because we might be a threat? Of course we are. We're mutants. Whether or not we'll do anything is beside the point.

The smart thing to do is to get some treasure so I can buy the parts I need to buy-- but I don't know why we're discussing it since we're just going to have to repeat it once I actually get there.

[sigh]

So hey, there's a new episode of Science News Daily out. Wanna watch it with me?

[mostattitude]

We're gonna go after the police force because just sitting around is lame and -- oh yeah! Because they're coming after us.

And just how bored do you think I am that I'd actually want to watch Science Nerd Daily?

...

Yeah, okay. Fine.

[waywithmachines]

Alright alright, I take your point. I still think we should wait for it to blow over.

[but forget that. Someone wants to watch with him. Sweet! Have some popcorn]

Today they're talking about the effects of radioactive isotopes on small rodents indigenous to South East Asia which they believe carry the gene HCPP, and if they do and their theory is correct it will open up an entirely new field of genetics! Isn't that amazing?!

[mostattitude]

...It's like you want me to fall asleep. At least let me pretend to be halfway interested for five minutes or so before I conk out. I mean, it's only polite.

[itspizzatime]

Heeeeeyyyyy.... [long pause at.]

No Mikey special pizza for you. [will make it all for himself.]

[mostattitude]

...I'm trying to remember if I care or not. That's not the one that ends up lost under your bed for a week before you discover it again, is it?

[itspizzatime]

That's not cool, dude. Besides, week old Bed Pizza is for me. Not as good as Roof Pizza, but I love it. Naw man, I mean I'm going to lean to make it! For the crew!

[mostattitude]

Well, both of those are better than Dumpster Pizza.

[He brightens quickly.]

You are, though? Dude. Bro. Have I ever told you before that you're my favorite?

[itspizzatime]

You got me there, bro, but never say no to a fresh dumpster pizza. [At least he wont say no to one...]

And yeah. [GRIN] I know. You gotta love me.

[the_dancing_dork]

[Did someone mention a Leo?]

Right Raph, it sounds like you guys will do just fine without me there.

[waywithmachines]

No, we won't. We'll do terribly. Don't leave us to die.

[the_dancing_dork]

Well... I don't know Donnie, I mean I'd like to be there for you guys and all, but I don't know if my mun could write up an app before they close. I mean she'd try, but... I can't make any promises.

[waywithmachines]

Even if you can't it's not as if they're not going to have apps next month. Of course we might be horribly maimed by then but I'm sure you can do something with our remains.

....

Can you tell I'm a little freaked out?

[the_dancing_dork]

Maybe just a little. [Define 'just a little']

Look Donnie, even if I don't get in I'm sure that you guys will be fine. I mean you guys have made it through stuff without me... kind of... so you'll be fine.

[waywithmachines]

Yeah I guess you're right. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

Wait--pretend I didn't just say that.

But still, Raph's dubious leadership abilities culminating in us quite possibly running for our lives from a very very tall, probably angry, guy aside.

We'd miss having you around.

[the_dancing_dork]

[That was a good point, if what Leo heard about how Raph led the team against Snakeweed was anything to go by...]

If it makes you feel any better, I'd be worrying about if you guys are alive or not until my mun could try to app me. But I'll see what my mun can do, if she can't do an app this month then she can try next time. So I'll try to do what I can to get in there with you guys, okay?

[waywithmachines]

Got it.

[relieved already]

...You haven't by any chance seen um...April have you? Just asking. Not overly invested at all.

[the_dancing_dork]

Right... sorry Donnie, I haven't seen her. You wanna try not begging for her to come in like Raph tried to with me?

[waywithmachines]

.... [as a matter of fact he hadn't considered it but now that Leo had said something]

You think it would work?

...Hypothetically speaking.

[may or may not be already typing up said post and is unsure of how many exclamation marks seemed desperate]

[the_dancing_dork]

Umm... maybe?

[Meanwhile, Leo is just going to wonder what the shell he just caused.]

[mostattitude]

Hey, for once I actually agree with you! No idea what Donnie's deal is, he's freaking out over nothing.

[the_dancing_dork]

Right, over nothing, right. I mean it's not like he isn't worried that something horrible is going to happen and that he and you both are doomed because I'm not there to lead you guys or anything, right?

[Come on Raph, you need Leo. Just admit it.]

[mostattitude]

I can lead. [Hmph.] So we're going to fight a giant or whatever, how horrible is that? Seriously, we'll be fiiiine.

But you know. If we die or something because you're not there, I'm not saying it'd be your fault... But it would totally be your fault.

Dude, just come be a pirate. Mikey will cry if you don't.

[not here]

[itspizzatime]

[will too...]

[the_dancing_dork]

Ah-ha... [Sure, blame him. Why not?]

Well... I'll see if I can get my mun to write up the app before they close, but I can't make any promises about getting into the game at least for this month.

[grizzly_tea]

You know, I wish I could say I'm surprised that more pirates are going to be on these seas, but I've seen so little of anything else, that the novelty of more pirates is lost on me. I'd have hoped with the level of intellect you've shown as giant reptiles, you might be more civilized. Alas, it seems that may be too much to ask for as well.
