The mun is considering a second game, the muse is grumpy.

[brain_behind_purple]

No. No way. Absolutely not. You already have me in one really plot-heavy, time-consuming, emotionally challenging game. Plus you just started school again, do you really want to add more pressure onto yourself?

Your not going to listen to me are you? Yes I know it looks cool... well in your mind it does. Yes I know there are two Leo's there already, which is nice, and you saw on here that Leatherhead's mun is considering it. Yes I know you want to build up CR. But in case you forgot, your already in school! That's a little more important, don't you think?

Yeah, just... think about. I can't stop you, as much as I would love to. But if you end up stressing yourself out and dropping me from either game, don't say that I didn't warn you.

Okay okay okay...hold the phone here.
Why is it that every time someone talks about this game it's always: There are two Leos, and never There are two Leos and a Mike? Huh? Riddle me that?

What am I? Chopped liver?

[brain_behind_purple]

[Cue expected eye roll. Were all Mikey's like this?]

Mikey, it's not that anyone thinks that. It's just that... ugh... no one's found a version of you in a game yet? I mean there are several, so you probably just got over-looked.

[michaeljangelo]

Overlooked. Like say...chopped liver?

[brain_behind_purple]

Well... kinda? Maybe they just aren't looking hard enough.

[michaeljangelo]

I've a five foot tall talking turtle with nunchucks. I'm kind of hard to miss, Donnie. Ninja or not.

[brain_behind_purple]

Yeah, and on here there are also giant robots and other talking animals. Compared to our respective canons, your not unusual on here at all. So it's not hard for them to miss you.

[michaeljangelo]

Gee Donnie, when you put it that way it make me feel all warm and tingly inside. Thanks.

[brain_behind_purple]

No problem Mikey, glad to help.

[And glad to get his alternate younger brother to quit complaining. That was when Mikey was at his worst.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike opens his mouth to retort but...in the end sees no point in it, so his jaw closes with a snap.]</small Soooo you're going to be coming to play with us, huh? On the turtle, I mean.

[brain_behind_purple]

Eh... possibly. My mun is still trying to decide. But knowing her... yeah, it's pretty likely that she'll apply me and after a month or two see if she wants to stick around.

It doesn't get too bad in there, does it?

[If it was anything like Terminal, it probably did.]

[michaeljangelo]

[His face lights up like Rockefeller Center on Christmas]

Nah, compared to some of the stories I've heard around this place? It's a cake walk. Worst thing that's happened to me is I got demutated once...for like a month. There are worse ways to spend a month, than without thumbs.

[brain_behind_purple]

[Okay, demutating didn't sound too bad. He a human in his other game all the time anyways, so that should be a walk in the park. And having two Leos and a Mikey would make it more bearable...]

Well... she just applied me for reserve, so I guess once she gets an approval for that, we'll see if she wants to app me. But I guess if it's not that bad, I can go along with it.

[michaeljangelo]

Do it quick! Do it now!
The Mods are going on hiatus starting in September.

WRITE LIKE THE WIND, MY BROTHER. THE WIND!








...

No pressure.

[brain_behind_purple]

Ah ha... [Yeah sure Mikey, no pressure at all.]

Well my mun is gonna think it over a little harder, but I promise that if she decides to do it, and she probably will, I'll be on there as quick as I can. Sound good?

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike is nothing if not a helper. Proof of this can be found in the rather large, shameless grin that takes over his face.

Sounds like a plan, my brother-from-another-mother.

[dissonantblade]

Nice speech.

I particularly liked the part where you acknowledged your mun wasn't listen, and then proceeded to ramble on for another ten minutes or so.

[brain_behind_purple]

Oh, it's you... [one of the abolute last people he wanted to see]

Don'y you have anything better to do than make fun of me lecturing my idiot of a mun?

[dissonantblade]

[Hello to you too, Donnie. She appreciates the warm welcome.]

At the moment? No. Not really.

Sad as it is, right now, you're the only entertainment I've got. Try not to disappoint too much.

['Then again, you Turtles know a little something about disappointment, don't you?']

[brain_behind_purple]

Oh, I'm so flattered to hear that. I'll try to not bore you to death.

[Or to take his bo staff and smack the kunoichi right in the face. But that was already becoming hard to resist.]

[dissonantblade]

[Bring it. They both know she could take him in a fight any day of the week ending in 'y']

Try harder.

I think I feel a yawn coming on.

[brain_behind_purple]

You know, that kind of talk may work on say Raph. But I'm not that easily provoked, so nice try.

[Although his hand did look like it was twitching a bit, as if anted to pull back and draw out the staff. But Donne would resist... well, possibly.]

[dissonantblade]

Is that so?

Maybe I should find someone else to talk to, then. Somebody I still have a score to settle with. Somebody...human.

[brain_behind_purple]

[Score to settle with? Leo, maybe? But then Karai said that last word... and it hit him like a bag of rocks.

If she was hoping for a reaction, he'd give her one.

In mere seconds, the staff was in the brainy turtle's hands. He had one end pointed at the human girl and he aimed a harsh jab right at her neck. He sent her a harsh glare.]

Don't. You. Dare

[dissonantblade]

[She anticipated the attack, and responded accordingly; her blade was out with equal speed, coming up just in time to parry the tip of his staff just beyond harm's way. Less than an inch separated it from her tender flesh.]

[A malicious grin mirrored his glare.]

Well, now you know I've just got to.

[brain_behind_purple]

[Donnie merely narrowed his eyes. He was pretty sure that Karai could beat him. After all she was practically at Leo's level, who he never stood a chance against. Fighting her would be really stupid.

But he was in too bad a mood to care.]

Then I guess I'm just going to have to stop you.

[With that, he pushed the staff forward to push Karai back. The staff was then spinning in his hands at high speed as he went forward. He swung it at the girl, mainly trying to smack her at a bone-crushing force in the head.]

[dissonantblade]

[Practically? You wound her.]

[She used the momentum in his push to backflip away, giving her plenty of space between her body and the oncoming, spinning staff. By the time he went in for another blow, it was all too easy for her to dodge.]

Not bad.

But I've seen better.

[brain_behind_purple]

[He didn't let that jab bother him, it was just gonna get him more riled up than he already was. That would be bad.]

Yeah, so have I. After all you pretty much betrayed him and and all.

[He ran forward at her, his staff spinning. But it was merely to throw Karai off. Once close enough, he flipped the switch on his staff, releasing the concealed blade within in. In a split seocnd, the staff stopped spinning as Donnie jumped upward and aimed a downward slash.]

[dissonantblade]

[It would have worked, if she hadn't been incredibly used to blades coming at her. If anything, it was more familiar than the wild swings of his staff. But that was Donnie's disadvantage; he was an expert, no doubt, and could possibly have beaten her had she been carrying a similar weapon...but his bo was large and cumbersome compared to the swiftness of a katana.]

[His momentum helped him with the speed, but she was simply faster; her blade was up and over her head, once again catching his weapon with a fraction of a second to spare. Disguising the momentary surprise of the weapon's hidden modification. Also to his credit, it did take both hands--one on the hilt, and one supporting the blade--but she was able to shove him off before long.]

I think your mask might be on a little too tight, Donnie.

The way I remember things, he's the one who betrayed me. You all did. You and your stupid vendetta.

[Not giving him a chance to immediately respond, She swung her blade down to meet with the other end of his staff, putting a nice dent in the solid wood. A few more strikes later, and she spun around, coming in for a strike against his shell.]

[brain_behind_purple]

[Donnie didn't have time to block the first blow, and it took everything in him to not groan at the new dent in his staff. But at leas tit hadn't been broken. But that let him be ready for the next few blows, which he blocked as quickly as he could with his staff.

Karai was fast, Very fast. But a bo staff as made for defense, and defense was where his strength lied the most. So he didn;t have trouble in blocking the blows. He just barely whirled around before his shell could be struck, the naginata blade meeting Karai's katana blade. He reached for his belt.]

Oh really? Because the way I remember it, you betrayed us first by making that cat... squid... thing! Plus you made it clear that you would kill us the first chance you got. Why would we be stupid enough to trust the daughter of a scumbag like Shredder?!

[He then proceeded to pull out a smoke bomb which he quickly threw right into Karai's face. he didn't give her a chance to adjust, instead kicking her back hard before smacking her across the face with his staff.]

[dissonantblade]

That wasn't a betrayal. That was just sheer feminine curiosity.

[She saw him reach for his belt, turning her head away to avoid the worse of the smoke bomb to the face. Unfortunately, that left her temporarily defenseless against the smack to her face. She stumbled back, visibly stunned, and even held a hand to her cheek where he'd struck her.]

[There would probably be a bruise later. For right now, though, she rubbed absently at the developing wound for a full second before slowly lowering her hand. Any other time, she would have been amused that Leo's brother was actually holding his own...for now...but his words cut far deeper than either of their blades.]

Because I trusted you.

For a stupid, delusional moment, I thought we could actually find some common ground against the Kraang.

[She readied her blade once more, preparing for a full frontal assault.]

A mistake I won't make again, I can assure you.

[brain_behind_purple]

[On a normal day, Donnie would be surprised that he as holding his won too. But not today. His bad mood was only getting worst. He was mad at Karai for hurting Leo like she did, he was mad at her for trying to kidnap April, and he was mad and her and her whole clan for not leaving them alone.]

So you decide to instead help the Kraang by letting them have April and invade the planet?! All because your mad at us?! Your exactly like Shredder, a twisted person who's revenge obsessed!

[He already had his staff in front of him, ready to block anything that she was going to throw at him.]

And your going to go down as hard as he someday will.

[dissonantblade]

Like father, like daughter, I guess.

[So let him be mad. His opinion made no difference to her. To be perfectly honest...it never had. Much as her father was sometimes the bane of her existence, Karai would sooner be compared to him than any of them...or their murderous mentor.]

[She came in, jumping a few steps away for an aerial strike. But, at the last second, her sword swung wild, drawing the attention of his bo staff away to leave an opening for her foot; she spun around, knocking him in the first opening she saw, not unlike the strike he'd gotten in to her. Before she landed, she followed it up with a jab to the throat with her sword's hilt. Dropping into a low stance, she immediately swooped her leg beneath his, knocking him onto his back.]

[By the time she was standing, the blade was once more at his throat.]

Don't act like you have the moral high ground here, Donnie.

None of you are as good as you like to think you are.

[brain_behind_purple]

[The second that Donnie felt the staff fly out of his hand, he knew that he was in trouble. But he hadn't had a chance to dodge the kick or the jab to the throat. His and instinctively covered the spot that was hit, but that left him open to Karai.

He grunted as he landed on his shell, He was going to sit up, but he stopped with wide eyes at the blade not at his throat. But it quickly reverted to a glare which he shot up at the kunoichi.]

You don't know anything about us. er don't kidnap people and turn over to an alien overlord. We don't We don;t brainwash someone's parent just to lure that person into the open. And we certainly don't help that alien overlord try to doom the world because of a stupid vendetta.

So don't talk like we're the bad guys. Like I said before, you don't have the best record.

[dissonantblade]

[She scoffs. He might as well have been listening her best qualities, for all the effect it had on her.]

[The blade held steady in place, but she leaned down towards him.]

And you don't know anything about me.

[She pulled away fully, swinging her katana back into its sheath. To show how little of a threat she considered him now, weaponless, she even turned his back to him.]

Thanks for the warmup exercise. I almost broke a sweat.

[brain_behind_purple]

[And now he was wide-eyed again. He thought for sure that Karai was gonna kill him, but he wasn't gonna complain. He didn't care if she saw him as a threat or not, she wouldn't stand a chance when she went up against him again. After all, he'd have three others with him.

So he merely stood up and grabbed his staff. He only glared at her backside.]

Yea, nice to know. Now do me a favor and leave me alone.

[dissonantblade]

Sorry. Afraid I can't do that.

[She glanced back only once.]

Give Leo my regards.

[Her tone implying that said 'regards' were meant to be less than pleasant.]

[With that, she ninja-jumped back into the shadows, to return again when next the situation arose.]

[anything_it_takes]

You know Donnie, admitting you have a problem is the first step.

[brain_behind_purple]

Normally, yes. And to be fair, my mun has been thinking carefully about this. Which is a positive sign.

She''s still probably going to do it anyways, knowing her. My mun is a nut Leo.

[anything_it_takes]

I... think most of them are. [No commentary on his own. It's healthier that way.]

Well I wouldn't mind having you here, even if you have to go later. It's been a while since boselfdestruct left. We kept the stuff he was working on just in case.

[That's his way of saying it's been forever and he misses you like crazy.]

[brain_behind_purple]

Yep, pretty much... [Judging form what he's seen his mun's friends do...

Oh, had there been another Donnie there before? Well now the mun is getting tempted again even if she shouldn't be.]

Well... it'd be nice to be there since you and apparently another version of you are there. And if another me had stuff that he was working on then it's sounding a bit more tempting now.

I just don't want my mun stressing either herself or me out. She already did some messed up stuff with me in the one game she has me in [Which will remain unsaid to avoid Leo going into 'protective big brother' mode.]. But I guess we'll see what she decides to do. She may jsut put me on reserve and decide after that.
