On the application for distantskies

[mutantmurine]

Young lady!

I-I have not lived as long as I have because I watch soap operas. I must insist you not put that on this form you have. It is through discipline, knowledge, and meditation that one--

--no, I will not tell you which show is my favorite so you can become immortal.

My Granny Pie always said, "a laugh a day keep the wrinkles away!"

[mutantmurine]

Your grandmother is a wise woman. Though, I cannot say soap operas are supposed to be humorous by nature...

[sailorlaughter]

Really? I think singing soap sounds hysterical!

[mutantmurine]

Singing soap...

[Pony-san, you and he are clearly on different trains of thought.]

I suppose that would be something different for a change.

[thebadturtle]

S'okay, Master, we all got our weaknesses.

[mutantmurine]

I do not think that is how this young lady sees it.

[onetrueshredder]

How amusing.

[It has never occured to him ever that these mutants have any life at all outside being a ninja :V]

[mutantmurine]

[Oh, regardless. Splinter is quickly on guard, the fur on his back standing up, his can in hand.]

Shredder.

[daughters_of_janus]

Wow, you're like a Nosferatu's dream come true.

[mutantmurine]

...Is that so?

[Though he speaks calmly, it it clear from the air around him that he is slightly tense. He knows what a 'nosferatu' is, after all. And the sense from this girl...her scent...it is not exactly one he finds at all encouraging.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Oh don't be a fussy rat. I'm not going to hurt you and besides most of us find animal blood to be disgusting. The Nosferatu are the only ones I know of with a real taste for it.

[mutantmurine]

[That's not entirely a comfort, given April and Casey...

The tenseness loosens, but not much.]

You must forgive my skepticism, but what guarantee do I have that you would not hurt others I share an acquaintance with?

[hi_howyadoin]

Soap operas actually do make you immortal. Little known fact.

[mutantmurine]

With all due respect, immortal, I must humbly request you not give the young lady...ideas.

[She has DVR and SOAPNet on her TV, after all...]

[hi_howyadoin]

Whoa, hold on! Just ... hear me out, will ya? You know those elder relatives? The ones who smoke thirty packs a day, live in hoarded squalor, and spend all their time either complaining about kids or watching soaps?

You know how some people wonder just where they get that vitality?

Well, now you know.

[goddamnbatsman]

Hey Master Splinter. I'm guessin' your mun's one of the [does the universal sign for crazy] ones, huh?

[mutantmurine]

...Hnnn...

[Splinter knows its a bad sign when Casey, of all people, picks up on it.]

I am afraid that would be the best way to describe her.

Have an AU Foot!Leo?

[fearlessmayo]

...Soap Operas?

[He's trying to imagine the leader of the Turtles watching soaps... nope, he can't imagine it.]

[mutantmurine]

...Leonardo?

[Why are you wearing black?]

[fearlessmayo]

No.

[He had hope this would happen any more in this new place. He should have known better.]

I am aware that I look like Leonardo but that is not my name.

[While his tone is respectful, it is tinged with disappointment... maybe even anger.]

I am Meiyo.

[mutantmurine]

I believe it was once said that to change the name of a thing does not change its essence. Likewise, a tiger born in the wild does not lose its stripes because it was raised in a cage.

You and my son are both much alike, Meiyo.

[i.e. you, young sir, are basically Leonardo with a different name and clothing, as far as he is concerned. ]

/hoping this late tag is alright...

[bittybostaff]

[In a small voice matching his short stature, the young turtle tot pipes up.]

I guess your lady-mun doesn't know that too much tv is bad.

It sure is!

[mutantmurine]

[He knows that voice. He turns and gives the child a smile, bringing a hand to his shoulder.]

I'm afraid not, Donatello.

\o/ That makes my muse super happy

[bittybostaff]

Has she been nice otherwise though?

((OOC: I apologize for all the redos. I can't seem to get the images to come in properly for my extra icons.))

:D! And its ok, I do the same myself. XD

[mutantmurine]

For the most part, my son.

[He smiles at the touch, not wishing to go into more detail. To do would worry Donatello, particularly if he learned the repercussions of his controller's decision of where he was to be sent.]
