Applying at tushanshu

[alphatar]

I can't believe you made me sit still for that whole thing. It's late, I'm tired, you're tired I vote we crash. [She yawns loudly. Practically obscenely.]

Stop worrying about it, there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing gets done when we're dead tired like this. Just be happy you got it out of the way tonight. Or this morning. Or whatever time it is.

Not really, but...I'll totally take one anyway. It's been a while since I've had my quota of mammal hugs.

[alphatar]

Mammals just so happen to have appendages perfect for hugs. [She puts her arms around him patting him on the shell.]


…You probably didn’t even feel that, did you?

[michaeljangelo]

I know! It's like Mother Nature herself said, You know someday there's going to be mutant turtles who will need hugs. I should totally make humans for just that purpose.

[Then comes the knocking. Mike can't help but smile.]

No. That part of my body is dead to all sensation.
...
Like my soul.

[alphatar]

You have more soul than a lot of the hum-drums I know back home. A good old fashioned sparring match might break your brothers-from-another-universe into the Mikey they’re missing out on. You think?

[michaeljangelo]

All things are possible.
I'm just afraid that I'd hurt one of them, you know? I get the distinct feeling that three of the five have never seriously hurt another living thing, and well...I went on my first mission at ten.

[alphatar]

That's what training gear is for right? I mean if they're that green, they shouldn't be sparring without it in the first place.

[Crap.] No pun intended. But you know, put on some kid gloves and knock them around a bit. I had a lot of fun working on my firebending that way!

Besides, they’ve got shells so that covers most of their important parts, right?

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike is judging you for your pun, intended or not. JUDGING.]

Most, but not all. Of course, the most important part can be moved.

[Here's the point where Mike retracts his head into his shell. It even comes with a side order of Jazz Hands.]

[alphatar]

Oh my gosh, you can actually do that! There’s no way you can tell me with a straight face that being a ninja turtle is not awesome. Can I follow you sometime when you’re out doing ninja-y things? I’m not one for taking notes, but I’d make an exception.

[michaeljangelo]

[He raises his head, and is then forced to readjust his bandanna. His red bandanna.]

If you can keep up, sure!

[alphatar]

[Osnap, comic style.]

You bet your little tail I can. Oh, and I’m holding you to that when I get accepted! [If you get accepted Korra.]

[michaeljangelo]

[There ain't no school like the old school.

Mike cranes his neck to look down and back behind himself. Little tail! HEY NOW!]

You're on!
And tell your mun not to worry. They've got a whole two days left to work on your app. Easy peasy.

[alphatar]

Oh they finished and posted the app the same day the reserve was made, it's just the waiting.

[michaeljangelo]

Ugh...waiting.
I hate waiting.

[alphatar]

Tell me about it.

But your suggestion for tweaking the app helped, my mun's getting it proof read right now and looking at some past applications and found some things that would have needed revisions.

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike just starts snickering.]

I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for past applications my mun wouldn't app to games at all! I'm like...the fourth or fifth version of me that they've played.

[alphatar]

Fifth times a charm?

I'm the first, and hopefully only, version of me so far.

[michaeljangelo]

So far.
Just wait until your mun starts playing you though. That's when the itch starts itching. Oh I wonder what she'd be like over here. What about over here. Oh this game sounds good.

[alphatar]

Man I hope not. My mun could keep active in one game, sure. Another one though? That may be pushing it.

[michaeljangelo]

My mun is active in three. And in one? They play me, my brother Raph, and our father Splinter. They've got a sickness.

Then there's me in another game, and then this sweetheart of a kid named Aang in the third.

[alphatar]

Three? Wow, I think mun would fall off the face of the earth and get fired from being on the net too much. Yeah, sounds like they got turtle syndrome.

[And now for her completely undivided attention.] Aang?! As a kid no less! I bet he was adorably nice. Always has been to me anyway.

[michaeljangelo]

Mine has lots and lots and lots of downtime.

[Okay, the completely undivided attention makes him take a half step back.]

Oh yeah, he's a cute kid. Real nice too. Spends a lot of time teaching my Sensei Pai Sho. When people aren't looking I give the kid chocolate covered espresso beans.

[alphatar]

[She gets way too excited over canonmates. Can you tell?] Tenzin plays Pai Sho, but it’s a little sit-downy for me. Or at least the way he teaches and plays it does. I bet Aang could make it way cooler. [Way to knock your airbending instructor Korra.] Chocolate and espresso? That’s just evil.

My mun has quite a few muses, but they’re all pretty much homeless. I think it’s going to be the first game they’ve apped for since their big move from livejournal, but I’m not sure. I kinda happened after all that.

[michaeljangelo]

Nah nah nah, if you want way cooler you've got to go to Bumi for that. Aang is great and all, don't get me wrong, but that Bumi guy can make anything fun.

Oooh who else do you have for roommates?

[alphatar]

Bumi sounds like a total blast! Now why I can’t I get any of the fun people to teach me and hang out with? [Katara excluded, she’s a deceptively fun person.]

Oh man, you want the list? It’s kind of long and boring.

…

[She cups her hand on the side of her mouth.] And a little ugly in my opinion. I’m the best thing that ever happened to it, but don’t tell my mun I said that. [Headdesk.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike just laughs.]

I know that feeling, mostly because I am the living embodiment of that feeling. Of course, I'm sure my roommates would say the same thing about them.

My mun has a tendency to collect gregarious nut-jobs.

[See Mike preen.
Preen Mike, preen.]

It can't possibly be as bad as all that. C'mon, spill.
