Preparing for thewake

[one_eyed_brother]

Ah shell mun, don't start getting all sniffly and weepy on me. If ya got time to do that work on my app.

I'm serious here, okay? Yeah I get it... you don't gotta tell me twice that I got family there, an... I ain't gonna lie, that'll get my heart pretty good when I get there. But first I gotta get there, an that means I need you to help me out. Get my app done so that these things can happen, not just you muns chatting about it like a bunch'a bird clucking around a slice a bread.

So, ya got a bit a time left for ya tonight, ya gonna work on the app, or sit around weepin?

[Okay, he should have been prepared to see what he was seeing, considering all that his mun told him. But Leo was still shocked to see Raph's appearance anyways. It was just... wrong]

R-Raph?

[one_eyed_brother]

In the shell.

[He knows he isn't a glamorous sight, so he's not put off by the other turtle's reaction.]

So... you're the Leo there, at least that's what my mun says.

[the_dancing_dork]

Umm... y-yeah, but I'm from another universe as your Leo, although my mun plays that one too. She plays my universe's Donnie in another game too...

[And he didn't even want to go into how he felt about that was going. He'd get angry at the mun if he did.]

[one_eyed_brother]

Hey, other universe is good in my opinion. Not that... the other Leo is bad, just... donno how things are between him and me when there isn't something to face. Not that it's really anything new.

Your mun sure has a small collection of us turtles though, mine's just got me and Mikey from your universe. By the way, how do you manage to deal with him... he's more distracted then I remember.

[the_dancing_dork]

I know it probably won't help, but he doesn't know how things between him and you are either... he's not happy about you blaming him for everything though, that's all he'll tell me.

Yeah. from what I've heard, my Mikey is a lot more naive and distractable than your Mikey. Eventually. you just learn to let him do his thing and tune him out... my Raph slapping him helps too.

[goddamnbatsman]

...wow man. You look terrible.

[Casey Jones: Master of Tact.]

[one_eyed_brother]

C-Casey?

[Dude, ignore that choked up sound from him.]

Oh man, you could call me a fairy princess ballerina, so long as you tell me you are really alive!

[goddamnbatsman]

No, I'm a zombie and I'm here to eat your brains.

Yeah, I'm alive numbskull. I'm just not the Casey you know, accordin' to my mun.

[one_eyed_brother]

I-I know you ain't but, well let's just go with 'you can't be my universes' Casey if alive is involved'. Okay?

Man... How are things goin for you?

Pre V4 Mirage Casey, by the way.

[goddamnbatsman]

Pretty good. Quit drinking, had a kid, married April. All in that order

[alley_kit]

Yeah, waiting is boring. My mun's gotta wait almost three whole weeks before she can app me where she wants to.

[And to an eight year old, that's practically forever.]

[one_eyed_brother]

Yeah, mine's got less time before she can throw my app in, but that just means she needs to focus more.

Ain't you a bit young to be going off places without someone takin care of ya?

[Don't tell anyone that he cared to ask, okay? It'll ruin his image.]

[alley_kit]

Yeah, tell me about it. The last guy she apped into a game she just barely got the app in on time on the last day.

[Rolls eyes because srsly, mun, what are your time managements skills?]

And nah, Kat- he's my brother- and I are used to taking care of ourselves. Besides, back home, we've got Liono and Cheetara and everybody to hang out with most of the time, and they're pretty cool.

[Though she and Kat are obviously the brains of the outfit. Clearly.]

[one_eyed_brother]

Kat huh? An what's your name?

I'm Raph by the way.

[He holds out a hand to shake.]

I guess, if you're used to it, I ain't got a place to tell you what to do.

[alley_kit]

[Have a small, furry, cheerful handshake, Raph.]

My name's Wily-Kit. You can just call me Kit, though.

And yeah. The grown ups are nice to have around, and all, especially when guys like Mum-Ra show up, but we don't need 'em watching us all the time.

[The kittens are somewhat aware that Liono and the others have tried to keep them out of the fighting when possible, but when needed, they can hold their own without too much trouble... usually.]

[tarzanboy]

[...what.

Ok excuse Raph but WHAT. He's got something to say alright...just give him a moment...]

...what the shell?!

[one_eyed_brother]

Yeah, that is one way of puttin' it.

[Turned out to be quiet a looker, huh?]

[tarzanboy]

What's the other way?! That you're some kind of freak clone or something!?

[Cause getting angry definitely helps.]

[one_eyed_brother]

If I get it right, I'm either future you, or the future you you could have been. I'm not certain, Donnie's the one that understands all that stuff.

Just know I'm just like you, except older, stronger and more experienced.

[potato_powerhouse]

Or at least work through the tears... And mind you don't have a heart attack, lad. It's hard enough to get Tonberries and turtles goin' as it is.

[one_eyed_brother]

Hey, I resemble that remark.

[Any harsh tone is cut by a slight smirk of humor.]

Eh, yeah workin through em is good too, so long as it doesn't mean my apps all 'touchy feely'. Don't worry, I may have some years under my belt, but I'm not gonna go out like that.

[potato_powerhouse]

[She's used to gruff old men. All kinds join the Immortal Flames, not just chipper young monks.

She gives her own wry grin as she shrugs.]

Ah, but if feelings play a big part in anybody. Even tough old lads.

And a Tonberry is apt, if you're a rage filled, slow moving green man who stabs people to death. Which if that's true, lemme stand a few more yalms away so I can have a proper head start.

[one_eyed_brother]

I can't argue that, feelings sure as shell got me where I am.

I'm a bit better on the rage part, but I've never been slow. Fortunately I only stab things that need it.

[bittybostaff]

[Raphael would only have a matter of seconds warning at the sound of little feet hurrying his direction from behind before he would find one of his legs locked in the arms of a tot with a purple mask. Assuming of course the excited turtle is not intercepted by the ninja.

All he had been told is that an older version of his brother Raphael, like Mikey, would be joining him in Nautilus....and pointed towards the right pair of legs.]

You're really coming, Raph?! My lady mun said you might!

[one_eyed_brother]

[Notice the oncoming body he certainly did, but such a tiny form wearing the mask color ingrained with his one brother who had gone missing was more than enough to freeze him long enough for the little one to cling to his leg.]

Uh... Yeah, so long as my mun don't slack off to much, I'll be there as soon as I can...

Donnie?
