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.

[goddamnbatsman]

...wow man. You look terrible.

[Casey Jones: Master of Tact.]

[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.

[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.]

[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]

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!

[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.]

[one_eyed_brother]

Yeah, that is one way of puttin' it.

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

[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.

[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.

[tarzanboy]

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

[Cause getting angry definitely helps.]

[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]

I can't blame him... If the me in your universe is anything like... me, then he lets his mouth get ahead of his brain too often too.

Slapping hun? He got a thick enough skull?

[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?

[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.

[the_dancing_dork]

That he does... he's been trying to do better though. He still needs to work on it though.

Well... it works most of the time. When it doesn't or Mikey is being really annoying, Raph just puts him in a headlock for a while and makes him talk about how he is all superior and all that. It normally works...

[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.

[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.

[one_eyed_brother]

Jus... don't give up on 'im, okay? If he's enough like me it's all cause he wants the best for the whole family, he's just to dense and stubborn to know what the best is yet.

Heh, well that just made my time here that much more entertaining. Though I don't think I'll mess with him too much right now, he's got enough going on.

Pre V4 Mirage Casey, by the way.

[goddamnbatsman]

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

[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.]

[the_dancing_dork]

I know he does... he was pretty jealous that I was leader for a while though. But I'm not giving up on him, I never could.

Yeah, I heard about what Mikey's going through. Donnie's having it bad too... real bad...

[And he was about ready to kill his and Mikey's mun for what they made his little brothers suffer through. But he'd resist, no matter how hard it was.]
