I've told you. I've told you repeatedly and you don't seem to believe me. And then you're surprised when I pick up that weapon.

What's done is done. There is no going back. Nothing and no one can change what I am now. What I've always been meant to be. I just never realized it until recently.

I'll only tell you one more time, mun. From here in out, its on you if sonething bad happens.

Stay out of my way.

Well, well, well...

Quite the temper on this one now.

[revvinguptheharley]

What? Don't Ninjas use guns?

[polyturtle]

You want a real temper, you've got the wrong turtle.

[polyturtle]

Not normally.

[revvinguptheharley]

I would think a silencer on a pistol would be a useful weapon for any ninja.

[polyturtle]

Its not considered entirely honorable to carry a gun.

[revvinguptheharley]

Uh huh....why?

[notmakingsense]

No, this is fine.

I do so enjoy seeing the brain-y ones snap.

[polyturtle]

Its a weapon with only one use, regardless of original application. And the way it executes its application it is violent, messy, and not always efficient or quick.

[polyturtle]

Oh, I can assure you. On the contrary.

[No, actually, sorry, but Discord is totally right. Scary thought, but its true. Don's just long past the point where he's thinking entirely rationally about anything.]

If you really wanted to see that, you would probably not live to enjoy it.

[revvinguptheharley]

Ah, I dunno I could think of a few different ways to use a gun.

And how are slicing people apart with swords, beating them to death with sticks or stabbing them with pointy things less messy or violent?

[punsofiron]

Don...

[polyturtle]

With a proper ninja's weapon?

They die quickly.

Forgive him, he is Games!self atm :|

[polyturtle]

What.

[revvinguptheharley]

Could still die quickly with a gun.

[punsofiron]

[taken slightly aback at his tone.]

...just.

Don't do anything you might regret.

[notmakingsense]

[He's not afraid of you, Don. Or your new attitude.

He flies down to face the turtle directly, grininng as smugly as possible. He's been through this a thousand times.]

Try me.

[polyturtle]

Its far too late for that.

[polyturtle]

[Only a thousand times?]

Meet me in Panem, then. Come to the Games. There's no purpose doing anything here.

[polyturtle]

But not as honorably.

[notmakingsense]

[Only the ones he remembers.]

Hmm, maybe I will. One day.

But that barbaric game is much more suited to you... fighter types. I'm more of a thinker.

You know, like you used to be.

[punsofiron]

[smartassfancyhat]

As anyone ever told you muns you'd fit right in as reboot writers? No seriously, turning lovable characters into emotionally distraught and broken shells of who they once were, making their way in a 'cruel and apathetic' world doing unspeakable things to survive.

Throw in some blatantly obvious symbolism and Warner Bros. might wanna hire you lot.

[polyturtle]

. . .

[Go ahead and glare, Don, the mun is snickering.]

[smartassfancyhat]

Relax mister 'Hero in a Half Shell', I'm not condoning it. In fact that line of creative 'thinking' needs to be purged, like the Australian government, so we won't have to suffer through another 'Lone Ranger' again.

...Also I apologize in advance for next year. [In other words for Bayified TMNT.]
