[Ah the seasons are changing, and even with the work on Kyoto to do? Donnie is getting restless, and really he needs something more to focus on. Something to keep him busy. So he's going to address the Outsiders with an inquiry.]

So, how many people use guns here? And how many of you don't know how to field or detail dress them?

[Donatello, you need to say why you're asking this.]

What I'm asking is well, I need something to keep my hands busy, so I am offering to do any dressing of guns for anyone who needs it done. Or doesn't want to do it themselves?

Also I've been helping around the current base, that's not exactly enough okay.

Technically I wasn't born with it, I inherited it via my father's human DNA when me and my brothers were mutated.

Also I didn't know I could even use it until it was... unlocked? About a year ago.

[powderkegs]

I mean, it's still kind of lame right?

Things you're born isn't the same as working for it.

[soft_shelled]

While it is an inherent skill of the Hamato clan, none of my family actually was able to use it until we did what we had to to unlock it.

So it wasn't just handed to us, we did have to earn it.

[powderkegs]

Guess that's an improvement.

But what can it do?

[soft_shelled]

Oh that, well... It depends?

My twin can teleport and make portals, my oldest brother can create copies of himself out of mystic energy and my baby brother?

[Oh boy, how to explain Mikey.]

Can control fire and throw buildings... And a cargo ship.

[powderkegs]

Where does the energy come from?

That kind of stuff would burn a person out quickly.

[soft_shelled]

That's actually a good question.

I guess from inside of us? And none of us have hit a limit, at least not yet. That's if there is even a limit.

[powderkegs]

[ ugh. she can work with hextech but magic? it has no rules, no limits and just does whatever. she hates that. ]

Better hope you don't spontaneous combust someday.

[soft_shelled]

[These two would so get along, the only reason Donnie is okay with mystic anything is that he made it technical.]

Well if I do I'll make sure to take someone I hate out with me at least.

[powderkegs]

Attaboy.

But I'm gonna pass unless you've got some formulas to go with your power.

[soft_shelled]

You mean aside from my own personal calculations for making sure any tech I make with it can function?

Yeah, sorry. I don't have anything like that.

[powderkegs]

Boo!

You haven't done any research?

[soft_shelled]

Anyone who could tell me any information is kind of... dead?

And they didn't really leave any notes around either.

[So his research has all been what he can glean from his own usage of ninpo.]

[powderkegs]

So what?

You've never let anyone else take a crack at it? You've never asked LILITH?

[soft_shelled]

It's not like anyone can just look at what I do and understand it via observation.

... Also like heck I'd let LILITH learn anything about ninpo beyond what they need to know. And I'm sure you have something about yourself you wouldn't want people poking at.

[powderkegs]

[ weak. sauce. ]

I'd do it. For science.

Guess you just don't have what it takes.

[soft_shelled]

And I'd prefer not to be dissected. Or end up vivisected.

[powderkegs]

[ god, everyone here is such a baby. "oh no I might get hurt!" "oh no my privacy!" as if they're not all here to die and kill monsters. ]

Like I said.

[ and she'll end it there. this one's a dead end. ]

cw: suicide talk, kind of?

[soft_shelled]

Well sorry, I like being alive.

Not everyone is into dying.

[And he's the type to have to get in the last word.]
