[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.]

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.

[lionize]

Best terms you're going to get, but there's not a rush. It's an open offer for now.

[Clearly he means other ship.]

[soft_shelled]

Good to know, Cags.

[Yep, she's still in nickname stage. Which is a sign of no hard feelings on his end.]

[lionize]

Right.

[That seems to her like they've reached a truce.]

[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.]

[egraegis]

Probably. [He won't even bother denying it. They've all been quite tetchy on the subject.] If you'd like to discuss the science behind their cores, I'm not opposed.

[soft_shelled]

... That would be nice, yes. [He's already tetchy himself about other things, so someone who isn't Leo being nice is getting to him.]

[egraegis]

Alright. Let's all take a bit to calm down, and we can touch base about it later.

[Let cooler heads prevail! (and also move it so poor Leo doesn't die of boredom at them spamming about science in his post)]

[soft_shelled]

Right. Later sounds good.

[Nah, Leo will just zone out or run away if that happens.]
