[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.]

Hey, you wanna give me shit for a GOOD IDEA, fine. But if I can reason him down to doing this on a schedule, he won't even have to get on the actual Buster. The sim room back in Tokyo can replicate entire mobile suits. Not sure if the one in Kyoto has that same capacity but, point still stands: if he wants to learn how they work, we can just teach him on the Sim. All I have to do is put in a request with Seok Dang.

[He HAS actually thought this through, okay!!]

[lionize]

Sims are never a good enough substitute for the real thing, and I don't want him near our suits whether they need repaired or not.

[busternaut]

Bullshit sims aren't a good enough substitute, you haven't even seen the Tokyo simulator in action. It's literally indistinguishable from the real thing, I taught Bakugo how to pilot on it.

And anyway, he has a point about it being a good idea to have more people who can maintenance these things. We've got five suits, it can't hurt to have an extra hand in a pinch, right?

[lionize]

Really? How's that going, since I assume he's not a coordinator.

[Cagalli frowns, not that he sees.]

Does LILITH handle maintenance or does it not? You'd think they would if they brought us here to fight.

[busternaut]

Better than I expected, honestly. The guy's real studious... And stubborn. He can't use it in combat, but he can at least move it from point A to point B.

And yeah, LILITH does maintenance, but they're the ones bringing US in to help THEM. You gotta figure an Outsider with engineering chops is gonna be a cut above the in-house staff in some ways, right?

[lionize]

That sounds good enough. Nice to have a back up plan.

I'll withhold judgment until the Akatsuki needs some care.
