what happens when mun marathons an entire season in 2 days

[dissonantblade]

Well, it's about time this place saw some real action.  I was almost starting to get bored.

Come on, mun.  Let's see what you've got.

Comments

[michaeljangelo]

You should convince your Mun to play at Tu_Shanshu.
You should.
It'd be awesome.
Totally awesome.
Awesome in a big way.

...

And I'm not just saying this because I'd be really entertained by watching my cousin squirm.

[dissonantblade]

[To her credit, Karai manages to keep her reaction to a subtle clenching of the fists and not-so-subtle eyebrow raise. This was...not the reaction she would have expecting coming from a Turtle.]

Subtle.

[She even sends a faint smirk his way.]

It's not often I get invited to meet the family on the first date. Who's your 'cousin'?

[michaeljangelo]

Leonardo. 'Bout yay tall.

[Mike indicates a height that's bigger than he is.]

Blue mask. Twin katana. Adorable in an eager puppy kind of way.

[dissonantblade]

[...Leo...]

I thought you lot were brothers, not cousins.

[michaeljangelo]

We are, unless we aren't.

...

Okay, I didn't mean for that to be nearly as cryptic as it came out. Let's try this a different way. What do you think my name is.

[Given the red bandanna he's wearing, Mike's fully expecting to be named Raph. Though...he sounds nothing like Raph what so ever...and more like...Robbie Rist.]

[zorastergirl]

Heh...I like your style!

[dissonantblade]

Oh. Right. Because that explains everything.

[She wasn't stupid enough to be fooled by the color of a mask. This Turtle...whoever he was...wasn't the Brother she was thinking of. For one, he was being nice to her, not hurling one of his oh-so-delightful insults and death glares her way.]

[Frankly, she was starting to miss the glares.]

I don't know. Monet? Picasso? Larry?

Stop me if I'm getting close.

[dissonantblade]

[Nice hair.]

Thanks. I'm pretty fond of it myself.

[michaeljangelo]

[His face breaks into a huge smile.]

...I really like Larry! I've always thought myself more of a Curley guys, but Larry'll work in a pinch.

I've got to admit, I was expecting you to call me Raph, but no. I'm Mike. Short for Michaelangelo.

[dissonantblade]

I'm just full of all kinds of surprises.

['And so are you, apparently' Not that she would admit such a thing aloud. Ever.]

So what's with the undercover look? I heard Orange was the new Black, but I didn't realize that meant Red was the new Orange.

[zorastergirl]

So many people are always like "Why would you want to do that? That's bad! That's wrong!" From what I've heard of you, you seem to be one of the people that knows how to answer that question correctly.

[dissonantblade]

...because that's what makes it so much fun?

[zorastergirl]

Ding-ding! We have a winner! [High-five!]

[dissonantblade]

[/hi5]

So, do I get a name to go with the compliments--which, by the way, feel free to keep 'em coming--or am I going to be forced to guess yours, too?

[michaeljangelo]

[It's for the best, telling Mike he's full of surprises only encourages him.]

More like Orange is the new Red. And at the risk of getting pedantic, Blue is the new red, and Purple is the new Red.

[dissonantblade]

Too late.

[And, in a flash of blade, Karai has her sword out, the tip coming to a halt mere centimeters from Mike's nose. Her expression has lost all traces of its amusement, eyes narrowing into a look of cold, hard anger. The anger was not directed at Mikey, specifically--if it had, she wouldn't've stopped the blade where she did--but more of a generalized sentiment stemming from all too recent memories.]

I don't care if he's wearing blue or red or chartreuse.

You tell your 'cousin' this: if I ever see his lying, traitorous face again...then mine will be the last he ever sees. Got it?

[zorastergirl]

The name's Charmcaster. And as I said, I've heard of you so I know you're Karai.

By the way, aside from life philosophy, there is one other thing we have in common, although it isn't quite as fun to talk about.

[dissonantblade]

I didn't know I was so famous.

[She leans against a nearby wall, casually crossing her arms across her chest.]

Yeah? What is it?

[michaeljangelo]

[He blinks in surprise, but it's really the only thing about him that moves. It's not like this has been the first time he's had a sword leveled at his head.]

Come to Tu_Shanshu and tell him yourself.

[Mike's smile doesn't falter, but...suddenly it stops reaching his eyes.]

But I've got to warn you. If you so much as draw your sword in his presence, I promise you: I will end you.

[zorastergirl]

We both have twerpy, red-headed "princesses" that like to get in our way!

[Charmcaster scowls just thinking about it.]

[dissonantblade]

Maybe I will.

[The fact that he doesn't back down...combined with that look...the corners of her own lips actually tug upward. Just a little.]

He obviously hasn't told you a thing about our...relationship, has he?

[michaeljangelo]

Can't be a good one, if you don't know him well enough to know Leo's not the kind of guy who kisses and tells.

[dissonantblade]

[Well, she was right; it wasn't a fun subject to talk about. Karai's gaze averts itself for a moment. Whatever lingering traces of pity she may feel for the O'Neil girl over the loss of her mother (assuming that hadn't been a lie), they were overshadowed by the frustration and anger she still felt for the her specialness.]

Figures.

Girl like that? Of course there's one in every universe.

[dissonantblade]

Or maybe I know him a little better than you think.

[Considering there never has been, nor will there ever be, any 'kissing' between them beyond the clash of blades.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Out comes Mike's bitch, please face.]

Lying and traitorous? Uh huh. Sure you do. Pull the other one, it's got bells.
