[This is sure another giant turtle. Be it one wearing a blue mask instead of Donnie's usual purple. Thanks to his twin for grabbing him fabric for mask based purposes.]

Blabity blabity blah blah we're all conscripted into a war we don't know the true depths of. [Leo waves a hand dismissively.] Whateverrrr. We'll figure it out. We got butt to kick, names to take, insert heroic speech here. I'll cook you up something inspiring after a bit of a gab session, alright?

[A very normal start to a video post right here. The turtle is seated in his brothers' dorm room, just lazily taking up his space. He is Leisuring.]

I'd like to belatedly say 'sorry if my brother pissed you off', cause apparently Dee has been stirring dramaaaa without me.

Which brings me to the real question, whose gonna spill tea on what my twin has been up to? He's tight-lipped about some stuff, sooo, someone fill a guy in?

[yes, he's starting this conversation WHILE in his brother's room.]

[soft_shelled]

Leo's just being a dum dum, anyway I know nuclear theory. I wouldn't do anything dangerous with the actual stuff.

I know what the fall out can do after all.

[coordination]

Why do you have such an interest in it, then?

[soft_shelled]

Which part? The giant robots or uranium?

[The interest is kinda connected, but also it is it's own thing.]

[coordination]

Enlighten me with both.

[soft_shelled]

I've always wanted to build a giant robot, never had the resources though. And what else could power something that big but uranium?

[There are more reasons for the interest in uranium but not sharing those.]

[Not here]

[makesascene]

[Leo just making an internal count down for when Donnie commits crimes...]

[coordination]

Battery?

Cagalli's suit works just fine on one.

[soft_shelled]

Maybe for your world, back home they don't make batteries that big.

[lionize]

Then make that your project!

[soft_shelled]

If I did that would mean I'd have to examine your machine to see how it's battery works.

And judging by your responses here, you wouldn't like that.

[Uno reverse card.]

[lionize]

[That one actually gives her pause. In a promising way.]

If you make that your project, you can examine the Akatsuki in the simulation room in Neo-Tokyo all you want. And promise to leave the others alone unless otherwise discussed.

[Thanks for the tip about the sim room, Dearka.]

[soft_shelled]

Hm, it's something to consider.


And also I haven't been near your suits since the convention.

[lionize]

It's a hard light simulation. Apparently good enough to mimic the actual suit. Once you're acquainted with that, you look at the real thing.

[Of course he'd say that, but for whatever reason, she believes him.]

All right.

[soft_shelled]

[He means it! He hasn't been poking around the hangar at all since then, oddly enough. Too busy with other shit.]

I said I'll consider it. Making a hasty decision won't benefit anyone, after all.

[egraegis]

I did bring that up earlier, actually. I appreciate your restraint. We're just being cautious with dangerous machines. In the wrong hands they've done terrible things in our world.

[soft_shelled]

Yeah yeah, well I kind of got the feeling that trying anything sneaky would end badly for everyone.

[By "everyone" he means himself.]

[coordination]

Well, that'll be something to learn about here first, then.

And only if you prove yourself trustworthy enough to be anywhere near our machines in the first place after the stunt you pulled. Because as of right now I'm not inclined to trust someone who won't back off when told and has a vested interest in a power source that is not something to be taken lightly.

[soft_shelled]

Again, when I first saw your machines I didn't know about the uranium. I wasn't interested in that in the first place, I was interested in how they were built and how they work.

If you're going to blame anyone for me knowing about your power sources, blame your Athrun friend. He's the one who told me about it.

[coordination]

We don't keep their power sources a secret. But your brother mentioning it specifically sets off quite a few alarm bells, you know!

It's not exactly giving the best impression of trust.

[soft_shelled]

Leo likes to blab, I'm sure you know people like that.

[Yes, that's all he has to say about that.]

Also if you really want, I'll fight you. You give off "I want to fist fight you" vibes.

not here

[egraegis]

[ INSTANTLY CLOCKED HIM LOL ]

except you are here with yzak irl remember

[coordination]

[ STARING DIRECTLY AT HIM. ]

also not here

[lionize]

[god he got it in one]

[coordination]

I'll only kick your ass if you end up doing something sketchy. Leave our mobile suits alone unless we give you permission, and there's nothing to worry about!

I have better things to do than waste time fighting with my own teammates, anyway. Like actually focusing on our mission!

[soft_shelled]

You mean you'll try to kick my butt. Emphasis on the try.

[Donnie might be the weakest of his brothers, but he's pretty sure he could take Yzak.]

And yet, here you are. Not doing that.
