Chapter Text

>>Teenage Mutant Ninja Teetles <<

~MagicMike~:

it was only a little bit of fire I’m not sure why you’re freakin man

I mean

only a small flame!!

~~Electro~~:

as a fellow mikey I sympathise

Red:

Your all bad influences

Mikey it was a lot of fire??!!!

~MagicMike~:

hhhnnngg no

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: A flaming junkyard takes up most of the camera. In the background, you can see Leo taking a selfie and Mikey throwing more pieces of junk into the fire. Mikey is slightly blurred, his grin more feral in the fire light. Raph is no where in the shot]

I’m so proud

Red:

that was not that big when I was there

You told me you were putting it out???

HasTheBraincell:

I don’t know why you thought mikey would do what he is told, whatever universe

Though Leo joining in is rather unexpected.

AteTheBraincell:

thats barely a fire

Coward

Red:

Please for the love of all things do not encourage them

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: the same image as before, but Leo’s mask tails are on fire. Leo remains oblivious, posing at the camera.]

Do I tell him

WantsTheBraincell:

Yes????!!!!

~~Electro~~:

don’t

film it for me

please

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What can you offer me @~~Electro~~

I_Crave_Chemicals:

No don’t, this is a science experiment

CaptainLeo:

Save him???

f*ck:

has he burnt to death yet

~~Electro~~:

@Bootyyyshaker9000 idk discord nitro ig

Red:

DONNIE

WantsTheBraincell:

What is wrong with you people

f*ck:

*turtles

~~Electro~~:

*teetles

~MagicMike~:

*neetle teetles

WantsTheBraincell:

Kill me

HasTheBraincell:

As nominated braincell I’m going to ask you to maybe not let him burn to death @Bootyyyshaker9000

Because you know

It’s mean

f*ck:

Coward

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Raph I swear you’ve called someone a coward every minute so far

We’ve only had this gc for a few days

Red:

DONNIE

HasTheBraincell:

My bad, I will say again.

I just was tinkering with the portal gun those little guys gave us and bam

Just a science whoopsie

AteTheBraincell:

You say that as if it’s normal for a mistake to create a rip off discord for our counterparts

HasTheBraincell:

Don’t question science!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Don’t question science!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Don’t question science, you fool

AteTheBraincell:

Great what I always wanted

More nerds

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@AteTheBraincell says the turtle who says he ate a braincell

CaptainLeo:

Please tell me someone has put him out?

AteTheBraincell:

@I_Crave_Chemicals I did that to assert dominance

~~Electro~~:

did

did it work?

WantsTheBraincell:

We’ve only got one braincell to share in this family

Don’t make that none

Also is Blue okay???

AteTheBraincell:

f*ck YEA

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: The fire has grown, and Leo is seen squinting at his phone camera as the flames grow higher on his mask.]

[Photo ID: Exact same as before, only now Leo’s eyes are comically wide as he spots the flaming mask tails.]

[Photo ID: Blurred image of Leo spinning around, mid scream as he pulls off his mask. Mikey is screaming in the background.]

He found out, needless to say.

~~Electro~~:

@WantsTheBraincell you text like an old man lol

AYOO HE DIDN’T DIE

f*ck:

Booooooooo

CaptainLeo:

Why are you booing at my alternates lack of misery

Should I be concerned??

f*ck:

Boooooooooo

Red:

Donnie you have five seconds to f*ckin run

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: Mikey with his arms slung around Leo. They are both smiling at the camera, both notably singed but otherwise fine. Leo no longer has his mask on, and the fire is still visible in the background.]

He made it!!

@Bootyyyshaker9000 oh f*ck man you gotta start haulin ass

Red:

Don’t think I’m done with any of you

Raphs gonna ground you so long you’ll all be ancient by the time you can go out again

Bootyyyclapper9000:

excuze me

I was a victim

I almost died

HasTheBraincell:

I don’t think you would have died, dw!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

you’re not helpping

CaptainLeo:

Well grounding is never that effective for me and my brothers

We kinda just keep going out??

f*ck:

We drag u along

Don’t pretend to be cool

Like me

~~Electro~~:

*like us

WantsTheBraincell:

I mean

That’s pretty much the same

I try for like a few days but

There’s three brothers around you already plotting how to get out and that encourages me too much

HasTheBraincell:

That’s why you wish you had the one brain cell

~MagicMike~:

Old blue literally getting peer pressured into breaking rules

WantsTheBraincell:

Shut

~~Electro~~:

*whispers* he’s not very cool, is he?

AteTheBraincell:

get f*cked @WantsTheBraincell

WantsTheBraincell:

I wish you were within close proximity so I could unleash the spray bottle on you all

HasTheBraincell:

You promised you got rid of it!!

Bootyclapper9000:

SPRAY BOTTLE??!!?!!!! LIKE A f*ckIN CAT????!!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Too bad, multiversal boundaries stop that

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a spray bottle that looks at least a decade old, covered in glitter and crayon squiggles that look like the work of a younger child. In large, unsteady letters it reads ‘BAD BROTHER SPREY’ in blue marker. Again, the writing looks like a young child’s.]

@HasTheBraincell you thought wrong

It’s very much alive

Yes, it’s literally like dealing with a bunch of feral cats around here. Whenever one of them pisses me off I spray this at them until they stop

HasTheBraincell:

Animal cruelty

WantsTheBraincell:

Big brother privileges

Red:

Im taking notes

AteTheBraincell:

I ain’t no feral cat

WantsTheBraincell:

I disagree

Apart from Mikey you are most like a feral cat, sorry to break it to you

CaptainLeo:

Ugh I wish I had one of those!

~~Electro~~:

*sad turtle noises*

Bootyyyclapper9000:

DONT GIVE RED IDEAS @WantsTheBraincell

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I thought you all liked water?

At least you do, you’re a slider right?

Actually, I’m pretty sure @UNIVERSE_03 like water too? How is this effective?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

its the principal that countss

AteTheBraincell:

We ain’t f*ckin cats

Don’t get me wrong I love water but

HasTheBraincell:

Again, animal cruelty

~MagicMikey~:

@WantsTheBraincell im reporting you to PETA

~~Electro~~:

youre f*cked lol lol lol

HasTheBraincell:

As a younger sibling, I am not a fan of the older brother privilege

~~Electro~~:

^^

I_Crave_Chemicals:

^^

AteTheBraincell:

I agree

Bootyyyclapper9000:

^^

Donnie agrees too hes just hiding from red

~~MagicMikey~~:

**Amen**

f*ck:

WantsTheBraincell:

This is bullying

CaptainLeo:

Raphael please don’t organise another mutiny swtg

~~Electro~~:

RISE RISE RISE

Bootyshaker9000:

I vote to overthrow all Leos.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

NOOOOO

AteTheBraincell:

Twins???? You two???

f*ck:

Wtf

Are you not all the same age?

HasTheBraincell:

Me and Raphie are twins actually

Sometimes

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Excuse me what

Sometimes?

>>mute chat<<

CaptainLeo:

@everyone

Whoever’s Mikey has been screaming in the ASMR voice channel for three hours straight, could you get him out?

HasTheBraincell:

I’m so sorry that’s mine

I wondered why he was so quiet

~~Electro~~:

THREE HOURS SHDHSJJSK

I_Crave_Chemicals:

This is the third time in four days.

Please control your Mikey or I will have to use force

HasTheBraincell:

Don’t worry, I got back up.

>>ASMR Turtles!<<

[Audio Recording]

LostTheBraincell:

[Mikey is screaming into the microphone as loud as he physically can. His voice is ranging from high pitched squeals to low warbles, all grating noises that are distorted through the mic. Mikey pauses for a second, then speaks:

“Want me to get my cat on the mic?” He says and, without waiting for an answer, he starts screeching bad cat noises that almost drown out an angry shout in the distance.

Something bangs. Mikey screams.

“What the f*ck are you doin’?!” A low voice growls.

“Hey Raphie! Just some classic ASMR! Do you wanna –“

There is a clang and a shout.

“Three f*cking hours!”

“It’s funny –“

“Get over here!”

A loud crash, followed by several loud shrieks, is heard over the mic further away. Raph can be heard growling, and it sounds like multiple things are getting knocked down in the room. The fight steadily increases in volume and chaos until a sharp voice rings out.

“What happened here?! What did I say about fighting in rooms?!”

The voice is low and commanding. The crashes and bangs stop only for a moment before there is a loud thud – sounding suspiciously like Mikey had just been thrown against the wall.

Now the sounds of the fight have returned in twice the volume; Leo’s various cries of “STOP!” and “DON’T BITE HIM!” only adding to the fray.

Another particularly loud thud, and a grunt. Leo growls.

“Did you just hit me?”

“That was Raph!”

“That’s it –“ Leo hisses. Mikey screams close to the microphone as Leo seemingly joins in the fight. Distantly you can hear another, higher voice (presumably Donnie) pleading for them to stop “because you’re ruining the ASMR channel, you Neanderthals!”

“Hey Raph –“ A brash, thick voice sounds after a minute more of the crashing and yells. “I was wondering whether you wanted to beat up some – wait, are we fightin’?!”

“Casey, no!”

“GOONGALA!”

Audio suddenly cuts off after the sound of glass shattering.]

>>mute chat<<

f*ck:

Wtf was that

I_Crave_Chemicals:

My ears

Omg

CaptainLeo:

I think I just went through every ring of hell at once

~~Electro~~:

WantsTheBraincell:

Excuse me

~~Electro~~:

WantsTheBraincell:

No?

~~Electro~~:

I_Crave_Chemicals:

And here I was, about to announce some upgrades to the server

But I think I’m a little more concerned about you wanting melted wax

~~Electro~~:

No ignore that i wanna hear about new server upgrades!!!!!111!!

WantsTheBraincell:

No I vote we talk about the melted wax

Honestly sounds like something my Donnie would try and cook

HasTheBraincell:

You don’t appreciate the science behind my experiments, Leo.

WantsTheBraincell:

Do you want to lose brain cell privileges??

Don’t make me take them away

HasTheBraincell:

Sorry, great leader

LostTheBraincell:

*sniffs* do I smell…scarcasm? From Donnie?

HasTheBraincell:

Mikey, I recommend you try to keep your beak out of this domestic feud before I decide it isn’t worth my time to fix your games console today

LostTheBraincell:

AUUYGHHA

~~Electro~~:

@I_Crave_Chemicals

Red:

EXCUSE ME

WantsTheBraincell:

Excuse me

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I was summoned when I saw discussions of an explosion, dear alternate brethren. What can I assist with?

Red:

Don’t make me put you in air jail Donnie

Don’t encourage him please

HasTheBraincell:

At least Mikey hasn’t seen this discussion

LostTheBraincell:

ARSON???

YEEAAAAAAHH

HasTheBraincell:

Mikey remember our talk?

LostTheBraincell:

Nah

WantsTheBraincell:

Kill me

Red:

Does he always make death jokes?

HasTheBraincell:

You’d be surprised

If he isn’t being stupidly reckless he’s doing this -_-

WantsTheBraincell:

I’m not reckless, come on

AteTheBraincell:

Last week you wanted to jump into a moving bus from a skyscraper with no kind of parachute to try and return a purse for an old lady

Bull.sh*t

~~Electro~~:

LostTheBraincell:

WantsTheBraincell:

Okay that’s enough Mikey cult for one day

CaptainLeo:

The announcement, Donnie?

LostTheBraincell:

[Voice note]

[A very loud, long sound of Mikey blowing a raspberry]

HasTheBraincell:

I’m so sorry about him

Can’t take him anywhere

AteTheBraincell:

@LostTheBraincell this is why you haven’t been nominated brain cell in almost a year

LostTheBraincell:

[Voice note]

[Another raspberry being blown, somehow louder and longer]

AteTheBraincell:

Im gonna cut out his tongue I swear

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Actually, that brings me onto the first announcement! Observe!

>@LostTheBraincell has been put in The Isolation Chamber by @I_Crave_Chemicals for 120 minutes<

f*ck:

HA HA WHAT

WHAT IS THAT

~~Electro~~:

noooo

a mikey has fallen!!!

AteTheBraincell:

I have no idea what just happened but I f*ckin love it

CaptainLeo:

oh –

WantsTheBraincell:

Finally, peace and quiet

Bootyyyclapper9000:

AYO

AYO

WHAT

daaaamn he lliterally got the “go straight to jail” treaatmentt

I_Crave_Chemicals:

That is what the @DonSuperiority team call the Isolation Chamber!

We created it after the ASMR incident that the 03 universe’s Michelangelo created

CaptainLeo:

That was the worst day of my life

I just wanted to hear some relaxing asmr and I get this rabid turtle scraping his claws against a chalkboard whilst screaming the lyrics to the Barbie song

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Lol WHAT

When did I miss this???

HasTheBraincell:

We took legal action

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Indeed! Anyone in the Isolation Chamber channel can only talk and interact in that channel alone, where they have thirty minutes to plead their case before the full sentence comes into effect!

f*ck:

Plead?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

This can be done in whatever way the prisoner feels like will get them out

AteTheBraincell:

Can we make one of these in the lair @HasTheBraincell @WantsTheBraincell so we can physically lock mikey up forever

WantsTheBraincell:

He’s currently trying to break into my room to get me to let him back in the group chat so I’m inclined to bring this up in the next monthly turtle board meeting, yes.

Red:

Man, we need to have meetings like that

Whenever my brothers have ideas we all just kinda yell at each over at breakfast and the loudest wins

~MysticMikey~:

I always win

CaptainLeo:

What??

f*ck:

hey I want yelling contests

Bootyyyclapper9000:

“monthly turtle board meeting” sksjsjsks

I_Crave_Chemicals:

That’s not all! We’ve also created group chats for our own counterparts only! And we’ve finally perfected video call!

That’s why there’s a new “face chat” channel as well as these being a feature in all chats but this one

Bootyyyshaker9000:

You’re welcome

~~Electro~~:

YO

MIKEY CULT FR

~MysticMikey~:

FR FR

f*ck:

About time, donnie! I wanna talk to the other me’s about stuff that isn’t lame science or sh*t

WantsTheBraincell:

@DonnieSuperiority this is amazing, you have my gratitude :)

AteTheBraincell:

yeah, this is gonna be sick

Just keep me FAR AWAY from the mikey chat

HasTheBraincell:

Thank you!! It took quite a long time, but we all took shifts to get there!

Red:

Wow, this is so nice of you guys! You didn’t need to!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Why settle for the basics when we can expand endlessly with our superior intellect!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

if i wasdnt so pumped fir this @Bootyyyshaker9000 i wouljd call u a nerd lol

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I have the power to put you in the isolation chamber with Michelangelo, don’t forget dear twin of mine

~~Electro~~:

is that why the toaster is still busted @I_Crave_Chemicals??? cos u worked on this instead???

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You broke the toaster again???

And here I thought I would be able to relax for a moment -_-

f*ck:

Eh, you like nerdy sh*t like putting toasters together

Next time we wont let leo near it

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Somehow I don’t believe you

HasTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of what appears to be a knock off discord chat, titled “Isolation Chamber”. In it, there is the same message spammed over and over, “LET ME OUT”, by 03 Michelangelo. The messages are slowly getting more chaotically written.]

He wants out.

~~Electro~~:

someone help him!

CaptainLeo:

@I_Crave_Chemicals I told you to fix the toaster ages ago :(

Also it’s not my fault it breaks whenever I try to use it

f*ck:

You stuck a spoon in it

CaptainLeo:

Well they say not to put knives in toasters and my toast was stuck

I needed something to get it out

~~Electro~~:

leo

leonardo

that toast was charcol

CaptainLeo:

It was fine!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@CaptainLeo how did you think a spoon would solve the problem, I’m curious

Though that does sound like Blue

Bootyyyclapper9000:

:(

rude

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a lump of black soot]

@CaptainLeo does this look like toast to you???

AteTheBraincell:

“just a little burnt”

HasTheBraincell:

How do you even get to that point??

CaptainLeo:

It looks fine to me!

WantsTheBraincell:

I think we need to quarantine that

AteTheBraincell:

feed it to our Mikey

He’ll probably do it if you give him a pack of gummies actually

Red:

What is that???

CaptainLeo:

Okay now you’re just being rude :(

f*ck:

HAHAHHAHA

>> Isolation Chamber <<

LostTheBraincell:

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

LostTheBraincell:

[Voice note]

[Illegible screaming]

LostTheBraincell:

[Voice note]

[“LET ME OUT!” Mikey is screaming in varying tones, too close to the microphone so it sounds very distorted. It is repeated over and over before cutting off abruptly]

LostTheBraincell:

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Michelangelo Splinterson of UNIVERSE_03, you have been brought to trial to defend your honour and appeal your sentence of 120 minutes in the Isolation Chamber.

You will have 30 seconds to argue your case to the Council of the Dons, where you will be judged on the strength of your argument, philosophy and flair. You can do this in any way you please.

If we deem your argument respectable, we will release you from the Isolation Chamber, where you will be able to join all chats once more.

HasTheBraincell:

The third Donatello of this council is unfortunately busy, so we shall be the only two member of the Council of Dons that you will argue with today.

You have thirty seconds.

The floor is yours.

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a very zoomed in picture of Klunk’s face, so only her eyes and muzzle are visible. Her eyes are dilated, looking straight at the camera. The image is a little blurred at the edges.]

cat

Bootyyyshaker9000:

He has me convinced

>>Council of the Dons<<

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I released your brother @HasTheBraincell

He was very convincing

Master manipulator

HasTheBraincell:

He said one word

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Very convincing indeed

@I_Crave_Chemicals are you free yet? You haven’t told us you favourite dinosaur yet or your favourite fungi and I’m curious

HasTheBraincell:

Don’t nag him! I’m sure he’s just busy fixing that toaster.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@I_Crave_Chemicals

@I_Crave_Chemicals

Dinosaur?

HasTheBraincell:

You’re a fiend

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Can’t talk right now, sorry

Gotta fix things for the guys

Bootyyyshaker9000:

You’re always busy doing boring stuff like fixing toasters

I think we all know that we fixed a toaster before we could walk

HasTheBraincell:

I don’t mean to pry, but Purple does have a point. I did notice that your brothers were quite…nagging when asking about you fixing things?

Really, if you aren’t comfortable in talking about it that’s perfectly fine, but it seemed they were quite rude when you spent so long helping us code this chat more

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Do you even get free time for your own things??

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Everything is perfectly fine, thank you

I simply wasn’t fast enough in repairs for the day. My brothers were only frustrated because I always have the solution for them, that’s how it is.

@Bootyyyshaker9000 I’m far to busy keeping the lair up and running to do my own stuff

HasTheBraincell:

My brothers are respectful of my wishes, if they break something they will ask but it’s not a necessity

They understand that I like to do my own little projects that I do get overly carried away with sometimes

I didn’t mean for that to sound critical of your brothers! I just wanted to share my perspective :)

Bootyyyshaker9000:

f*ck your brothers

Just stop fixing things for them

It’s not down to you to always have the answers, or have set time limits to make things

Kitchen appliances are so…primitive. You must be losing your mind

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Everything is fine. It’s how it’s always been.

Gotta use this brain for something useful

I need to get back to work

HasTheBraincell:

Ah. I see.

It is not in our right to pry into your personal life, I understand

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I don’t

HasTheBraincell:

Yeah I expected that.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I stopped fixing things for mg brothers one day and you know what happened? They were more careful in the future. And personally I have never had one of them complain of not being fast enough, or not having the answers

Your brothers sound like dicks

HasTheBraincell:

Purple! That’s enough

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I’d rather not talk about this, actually

Subject change?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

No

HasTheBraincell:

Yes.

Favourite dinosaur?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Stegosaurus. Simple, but fascinating.

HasTheBraincell:

I love them! I have a few facts about them actually!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Let’s compare notes

I should have time for this, this is important

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Dinosaurs always are, my fellow intellectual

Notes:

Just a little bit of plot getting teased at the end there, any guesses about what the first arc is going to be focusing on?

Also, what are everyone’s headcannons for the turtles? I’m going to be adding some of my own but I’m very open to suggestions from others too!

Kudos and comments are appreciated :)

Chapter 3: Science Experiments

Notes:

A bit more plot for the first arc in this one!
I say arc but it’s just a mini section, I’ve almost wrapped the main bit up actually.

>> Teenage Mutant Ninja Teetles <<

~~Electro~~:

[Video ID: A livestream is running that displays 2012 Mikey spinning around in a circle in his room. He is directly facing the ground with his arms spread out, slowly getting faster. The live stream is titled “spinning around in a circle until I die, not clickbait”. A quick dubstep beat is playing in the background, and there are a few alternating flashing lights (red, blue and green) that switch in time to the beat. Other than the music, there is no other sound.]

WantsTheBraincell:

Is he…okay?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Don’t worry he’s been doing this for an hour and a half.

If he was going to pass out he would have done so near the start.

Do you want to join in the betting pool?

WantsTheBraincell:

I’m sorry what

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I bet threee hours

Red:

Blue

Purple

What did we say about underage gambling with strangers

HasTheBraincell:

Hush, I need to concentrate on the live stream.

This is medically fascinating! Though I do also want to tell him to stop.

AteTheBraincell:

isnt the mikey group chat or whateva meant for this sh*t

~MagicMike~:

the live stream of the amazing mikey chat is currently on Klunk Watch!

[Video ID: screen recording of the mikey chat. It is only a few seconds, but you can see that there is a screen at the top which is currently just 2003 Mikey’s cat, Klunk, sleeping on her back with her legs in the air. You can see a few lines of the chat going on underneath, but all it reads is “PRIASE TO THE ALL-MIGHTY GODDESS” from various users.]

AteTheBraincell:

f*ckin hell its actually a cult

~~Electro~~:

[Video ID: the live stream is continuing, but in the background you can see 2012 Raph walk into Mikey’s room with a confused expression. It looks like he has just woken up; he has no mask or gear, and his eyes are squinted. His beak wrinkles as he watches Mikey silently spinning with his arms out, and he then looks at the camera mouthing “what the f*ck?”.

Mikey notably is spinning faster now.

There is a pause, and Raph leaves. You can hear him call for Leo in the background.]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

oh f*ck hes taking off!!! hes goiin toi fast!!!1!!1

f*ck:

Ok whats goin on here????

And @~MagicMike~ wtf happened to your name wasnt it different before

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Science, dear alternate brethren. SCIENCE!

LostTheBraincell:

Waiting to see how long it takes until he goes into orbit

Gods speed little me

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@f*ck the author made a mistake last chapter and wrote Orange’s username wrong, no problem.

It has been corrected, right?

f*ck:

What the f*ck was that answer???

WantsTheBraincell:

I think Electro is going to pass out

CaptainLeo:

What

What is this?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I woke up to this.

LostTheBraincell:

No no

Hes gaining acceleration

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Heyyy why cantt the leochat have a cat livestresm??

WantsTheBraincell:

I’ll tell you a secret

I don’t like cats

~MagicMike~:

Mikey chat only, sorry! You aren’t cool enough for our mad skills!

LostTheBraincell:

@WantsTheBraincell ASUSYAGUUUUHH???????

Not

Not

Klunkers??

HasTheBraincell:

You’re going to make him cry

WantsTheBraincell:

Klunk is the one exception

Despite the amount of cats you keep trying to smuggle in

AteTheBraincell:

I found a fat old cat on my bed yesterday

~~Electro~~:

[Video ID: Mikey suddenly picks up speed, going so fast he’s just a blur.]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

OH MY GOD

HES TAKINg OFF!!!

AteTheBraincell:

Why am I so entertained by this

LostTheBraincell:

Stupid turtles like stupid sh*t

WantsTheBraincell:

Someone please stop him

This is only going to end in disaster

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I tried to a little earlier but he’s in the zone.

Right now I’m on a junkyard run, I heard that a new tech company has dumped their much more updated technology and hardware here and I couldn’t resist!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@I_Crave_Chemicals oh sweet pineapple on a pizza I am drooling just hearing about that!!!

You must send us more details in the Council, immediately!

In other news I have measured @~~Electro’s speed and he is now faster than what I thought was possible.

HasTheBraincell:

@I_Crave_Chemicals I’m so happy for you! I do recommend taking a peak around some private companies, they somethings have great stuff that they let go to waste in warehouses :)

Red:

I feel like @~~Electro~~ needs to be restrained for his own safety

~~Electro~~:

[Video ID: Mikey suddenly jumps, flapping his arms, but then crashes to the ground so hard that the camera shakes. A large pile of pizza boxes clatter on top of him, and some action figures fall off the shelves. Mikey doesn’t get up]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

OH NOOOOOOO

LostTheBraincell:

A mikey has been snatched from us today

A worthy sacrifice

~MagicMike~:

Preach

AteTheBraincell:

That was a loud bang, holy sh*t

f*ck:

hopefully he’ll stay knocked out for a few hours

~~Electro~~:

[Video ID: 2012 Leo walks into the room, stepping over the pizza boxes. He crouches, prodding Mikey a few times but receives no response. He stands, walking over to the camera.

“He knocked himself out.” Leo explains. He says it huffily, but there is a fond amusem*nt in his eyes as he elaborates. “Nothing serious though. He should wake up soon.”

He reaches towards the camera and shuts off the live stream.]

HasTheBraincell:

Like Icarus, he flew too close to the sun.

~MagicMike~:

He was a good one

Forever missed

Forever cherished

LostTheBraincell:

Aw right, my turn!

WantsTheBraincell:

NO

Red:

That goes for you too orange

Raph dont want to deal with another “milkshake of 2010” incident thanks

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Ugh don’t remind me

Bootyyyclapper9000:

*Ptsd flasjbasks*

Red:

Your typin is way worse today which always means youre tired

Bootyyyclapper9000:

AteTheBraincell:

Why did I just find a small plastic baby at the bottom of my drink

I almost choked on that sh*t wtf

Red:

f*ck:

@AteTheBraincell

Wtf

HasTheBraincell:

A what??

I_Crave_Chemicals:

That’s…mildly concerning

WantsTheBraincell:

I found one staring at me in the shower today

Someone put it on the shower head

LostTheBraincell:

Nope, dont know what youre taking about

CaptainLeo:

Donnie you’re at the junkyard? I told you to stay in the lair, not go and look for more clutter in your lab

f*ck:

@WantsTheBraincell WHAT

~MagicMike~:

They always are watching (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) <3

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Well excuse me Leo if I wanted to get some stuff for my own projects

My lab isn’t full of clutter, it’s my tech

It’s important to me, thanks

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@Red you have a wau withh wordfs, fine

bvut can i fight 12 leo firs?

AteTheBraincell:

@LostTheBraincell if I see another plastic baby Im gonna to shove it so far up your ass it will come out your mouth

WantsTheBraincell:

Raph! Not in the group chat at least

LostTheBraincell:

Animal abuse

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@I_Crave_Chemicals bite your Leo for me pretty please

CaptainLeo:

No offence donnie but your stuff doesn’t exactly work much

I need you to treat Mikey’s injury and fix the door he broke instead of running off to some junkyard for stuff that is going to eventually blow up in our faces

f*ck:

The day your stuff actually works properly is the day Mikey gets a brain, Dee

Just come back and get Mikeys head fixed before he gives himself a bigger concussion

HasTheBraincell:

I can’t help but feel this is a little malicious, actually.

Science is nothing without error. And I can tell you how to treat a head wound, and any of my brothers! There’s no need to get your Donnie, we can help if that’s what you’re worried about :)

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Oh you did not just say that @f*ck @CaptainLeo

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Well maybe if I got the chance to do more of my own thing I could learn to improve! And that’s starts by getting tech that isn’t just scraps from microwaves and fridges!!

And my tech does work

I will make it work

I know I can

Can we please take this argument away from our alternates??

HasTheBraincell:

I think an emergency distraction is needed

@LostTheBraincell

f*ck:

wait what did I say wrong?? just a bit of teasing damn

LostTheBraincell:

One time when I was a toddler I shoved a barbie shoe up my nostril

And it hasn’t come out since

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Excuse me

What the f*ck

How does that even happen??

Distraction is very successful.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

HhahahHAHAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHA

AteTheBraincell:

f*ckin hell I forgot about that

LostTheBraincell:

Sometimes I get a good whiff of plastic

HasTheBraincell:

Quite ironic considering you have the best sense of smell out of all of us

Red:

Wait really?? Our Donnie does, but that’s because of his snoot

LostTheBraincell:

His snoot

~MagicMike~:

Did you not just blow your nose to get it out even once

Damn

~~Electro~~:

bet it would taste great

LostTheBraincell:

YOU LIVE

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Yippeeeee

~MagicMike~:

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Okay who brought up my snoot

HasTheBraincell:

What have I said about spamming?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I have the free will to not listen

@I_Crave_Chemicals

HasTheBraincell:

I hate arguing with myself, I always win

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Ugh sorry you had to see that

Thankfully Leo stopped in the group chat

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I really hope you bit your brother

HasTheBraincell:

Your soft shell genes really shine through

In all seriousness, are you okay Dee? I think, at the very least, your Raph was supposed to be teasing but it didn’t seem very light hearted to me. Do you need to talk?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

No offence but just because you’re my alternates doesn’t mean I’m going to start spilling my guts to you

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Completely understandable.

What we refer to is just what the hell happened there. That I do want to know badly.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

It is kinda what it says on the tin, really

Bootyyshaker9000:

Sorry but you are going to have to elaborate a little because I couldn’t read much of the emotions in that little spat too well.

I_Crave_Chemcials:

Ah. Yes.

What Raph said is his usual teasing. That is what I’m used to. Leo was a little more brash than usual but he does raise good points.

HasTheBraincell:

No, I don’t think he did.

Experiments are not experimental if they don’t fail.

You cannot be a genius, only a student, if you follow the rules and don’t try anything completely new! I’ve had my fair share of explosions!

I think it was unfair of your Leo to say such things with a lack of understanding.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Please tell me you got the tech???

I_Crave_Chemicals:

It pissed him off but yes, I got so much good stuff so it’s worth it, honestly.

The amount of stuff I can do with new tech is honestly baffling me

So many ideas

HasTheBraincell:

Oh! Face call! Then we could all brainstorm!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Be prepared for the biggest info dumps ever if that is the case, fellow Donatellos.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I’m supposed to be fixing some new kind of alien tech that the purple dragons have been using lately, sorry.

Even though I don’t know how it works, but apparently I have to figure it out in under an hour before our next patrol!

Sorry

That rant was a little uncalled for

HasTheBraincell:

That seems a little unfair, actually

Bootyyyshaker9000:

A little???

You know what would be a smarter idea?

We work on it together?

HasTheBraincell:

Yes!

I’m actually very curious about this tech you’re talking about. I wonder whether it’s similar to something in my universe!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Sweet Galileo, yore right!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Wait…work on it together?

I had never thought of that.

HasTheBraincell:

Three heads are better than one, right?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I

Yeah. That would actually be really helpful.

Though I will be asking questions about your worlds myself! I know it can be kind of annoying but I must know!

HasTheBraincell:

Nonsense! No question is annoying!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Couldn’t have said that better myself. Questions are a delight to answer.

I actually like it when my brothers ask me things because it shows they are actually curious, which is always encouraged!

HasTheBraincell:

Younger brothers?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Yep, younger brother. Mikey seems to be very curious across all multiverses so far.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

My mikey actually does that a lot but I get him out of my lab asap.

He tends to move my stuff, which I don’t like. Either that or touch things that really shouldn’t be touched.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Tell me about it, scoff.

Orange did that all the time until I set up a small area that he could sit in and still watch what I was doing/ask questions. The ADHD brain really makes him a danger magnet, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s a very fun lab assistant.

HasTheBraincell:

My Mikey gives me too many tempting, dangerous ideas I can’t help but test! We have to get split up if we are together for over an hour.

He’s a bad influence -_-

I_Crave_Chemicals:

ADHD? I must admit it hasn’t occurred to me that Mikey could have that, but thinking on it…

Change of subject! I have 45 minutes to figure out how this gun generates shock waves seconds apart from each other without any notable battery or power source, would you like to see me dissect it!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

YES PLEASE

HasTheBraincell:

That would be wonderful! Yes yes yes!

Kudos and comments appreciated! I’m thinking introducing the next lot of turtles VERY soon, who do you think it will be?

Let me know whether you are a fan of the plot stuff…I’m trying to space it out so there’s lots of goofy things happening during it most of the time, but if you would prefer that I abandon some plots/leave plots or the opposite (make it more plot driven) let me know! Id like to hear what people like best and expand on it :)

Yesterday I was telling her about the inevitability of death and how it influences our actions but she just nibbled my finger so I don’t think it got through

~MagicMike~:

LostTheBraincell:

Eh?

~MagicMike~:

Oooh that sounds fun!

So like, lights out video call? Together??

Bootyyyshaker9000:

It would be a good way to test the capacities of the video call and also encourage our alternates to have a decent sleep for once

WantsTheBraincell:

What do you mean my sleep schedule is elite

AteTheBraincell:

You were making tea at three in the morning last night

You looked possessed

WantsTheBraincell:

I was thirsty :(

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Well, seeing as all of us (or at least most of us) are online I would say that a sleepover of sorts would be a good idea.

Like Purple said, it would be great to check the video call with all members at once!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

so like

a rave

just a video calk in the dark???1

f*ck:

sounds like f*ckin chaos

Honestly Raph could use some white noise

Sleep ain’t comin easy

AteTheBraincell:

Oh I’m sure there will be noise alright

>>VIDEO CHAT – Teetles Talking<<

[Voice chat loading]

[Connection secured]

[Loading participants]

A single box blinks onto the screen. At first, nothing can be seen due to the lights apparently being off in the room, but then a pair of white eyes blink in the darkness.

“Okay! Everything is running smoothly so far!” A light voice hums. At the bottom of their icon, their username reads HasTheBraincell.

“Before I let everyone in, I think I’m going to come up with a name system so we don’t all get…well, mixed up.” Donatello chuckles and shuffles closer to the screen. With the light from the computer, you can now see some features of his face. He is smiling, face exposed without the signature purple mask on his face.

“Wow, feels a little weird talking to myself…” he mumbles, then claps his hands once. “So – since me and my siblings (universe 03) are the oldest, I thought we use our full names. For universe 12, I thought they could use the nicknames, or abbreviated names – like Mikey, or Leo rather than Michelangelo or Leonardo. And the universe 18 brothers can use their colours, seeing as they use those anyway in the main chat.” Donatello taps a few times on his keyboard. In the distance, you can hear a yell from Michelangelo in excitement. Donatello chuckles fondly.

“Okay. Establishing full connection in three, two, one –“

Donatello presses a button and suddenly a few more screens blink into life. All of them are in darkness, their lights also completely off.

“Helloooo…” Michelangelo says loudly. Another screen blinks next to his.

“Why are your eyes so goddamn freaky?” Blue splutters. He leans close onto the screen so you can see his confused face. “Like, I can just see some white dots in darkness and it’s a little –“

“Play nice, Blue.” Red says from the screen next to him. He is the most illuminated by the light of his screen, though half his body fades into darkness.

“One arm buddy!” Michelangelo crows. He shoves his arm stump so it’s the only thing that can be seen in the camera. “Gimme some!”

“Aww yeah!” Blue matches the action.

Another screen pops onto the screen. Blue screams as you can only see two red eyes in the darkness.

What the f*ck –“ he rocks off his chair and shakes the camera when he hits the ground.

“Excuse me?” Donnie’s annoyed voice cuts through the yell.

“And you thought our eyes were creepy.” Michelangelo points out. He then, knowing that you can only see his white eyes, starts moving rapidly across the screen with ghostly noises.

“This is supposed to be a quiet session –“ Donatello tries to remind them, but is interrupted when Raphael joins the call. Blue splutters with laughter.

Raphael has pressed himself so close the screen that you can only see his mouth in the blue light.

“Is this thing on?” His voice is distorted from being so close to the microphone. He is notably grinning.

“Raphael, I know you know how to work that thing –“ Donatello warns. Three more users join the call – the rest of the universe 2012.

Mikey immediately starts beatboxing into the mic, though you can’t see anything on his screen but blackness. Leo’s screen remains calm, but Raph’s screen is lit so you can only see a bowl of cereal that he is eating, seemingly suspended in midair.

“‘Sup.” Raph says, chewing loudly. “I heard we were supposed to be quiet so I brought the loudest food I could find.”

Mikey’s beatboxing gets louder. Blue joins in.

Red grumbles, shoving a blanket over his head.

“You’re huge!” Michelangelo cries out to Red when he moves. “Holy sh*t, can you give me a piggyback?”

Finally, the Purple and Orange arrive, leaving Leonardo the only one out of the call. Purple is unseen with the lights out, but Orange is literally glowing, his patches and cracked arms radiating a bright yellow light.

“Orange, what the –“ Leo begins.

“Dude, you’re like a lava lamp!” Mikey stops beatboxing. Orange giggles and begins to dance to a beat playing in his room. The yellow glow blurs as he moves.

Michelangelo and Mikey cheer at the dancing. Donatello sighs.

“Guys –“

Raphael screams into the microphone.

“Hey Leonardo! Leonardo! Do the thing!” Michelangelo’s eyes jump up and down on the screen. Something clatters in his room. “Come ooon!”

The final screen pops into the call. At first, there is just darkness, but then a Cheshire Cat like grin illuminates suddenly, seeping out of the shadows.

Blue screams and his camera is knocked down at the appearance. Mikey also yelps and Raph curses loudly.

Leonardo fades back into the darkness, chuckling.

“And that, my alternate bros, is my dear brother Leonardo, with an S-class in freaking people out when it’s dark!” Michelangelo laughs. “You should’ve seen Casey’s face –“

“Guys, this is supposed to be quiet and relaxing – “ Donatello interrupts. But Raphael cackles into his microphone then smacks his beak loudly. Blue and Purple start beatboxing again and Orange speeds up his dancing.

A plastic baby suddenly illuminates on Michelangelo’s screen and starts waving around in beat to Orange’s music. Red grumbles again, opening a tired eye in irritation.

Raphael bites into his microphone and makes as many loud noises as he physically can.

“I’m sorry, he gets a little feral in the dark.” Donatello tries to explain. “If he would kindly shut up for one second –“

“Yeah, I wanna eat my cereal in peace!” Raph says. On his screen, a third arm becomes visible in the darkness, lighter in skin tone. The rest of its body fades into the blackness, so it looks like he has three arms.

“Wait, you got three arms?! You stole mine!” Blue yells out. Raph shrugs.

“Don’t know what you’re talking about.” Two of his arms hold the cereal bowl, and the third is lightly slapping his cheek. “This is normal.”

At the bottom of his screen, you can see Leo briefly raise his head before ducking it back behind some furniture.

“Do you wanna hear a song? I have loads of good songs!” Michelangelo loudly starts to sing Barbie Girl again.

“I’m going to deafen myself.” Donnie mutters. “I’m going to dunk my head in some water for a few hours. I’m going to run away to Florida –“

“Do it, coward.” Blue’s screen challenges, but the voice is different. More flat.

“Did you just swap places with Purple?” Donnie squints forward.

“Whatever do you mean? I am the bimbo known as Blue, yes.” Purple tries to persuade.

“Science science science, science, science – “ Blue says from Purple’s screen, whacking things with a hammer. “I’m a nerd, watch –“

Something explodes.

“Oops.”

Orange is still dancing, and has turned the volume up on his song to try and drown out Michelangelo’s off-key singing. The box turtle is glowing more than before.

Michelangelo suddenly screams and multiple crashes sound from his screen.

“Leonardo, you son of a bitch!” Michelangelo lunges for a figure in the darkness. “How long were you leering over me for, you asswipe –“

Raphael is cackling on the microphone again, louder. Red is trying to knock himself out on the table he is resting his head on.

“Stop growing arms!” Blue yells, outraged. On Raph’s screen, an extra arm is trying to open a comic book on his desk. Randomly, another one appears out of the darkness, lighter in tone and freckled. You still can’t see anything else on the screen.

“I’ve always had this many arms. Get better.” Raph taunts. One of the arms grabs the spoon and tries to shove it in his mouth. Another one raises the middle finger the best it can.

“I don’t suppose anyone has any uranium?” Purple’s voice, distorted from being close to the microphone all of a sudden, asks from the gloom. He is now back in his own room again.

“Don, tell Leo to stop scaring me!” Michelangelo whines. “I have children to take care of!”

He holds his hand to the screen, showing five plastic babies cradled in his hands.

“Could we please quiet down –“ Donatello tries to calm the increasing loudness of the call. Donnie leans forward again, his red eyes growing brighter.

“I don’t know if I have uranium any on me, but hacking into military records should easily –“

“You’re lying! You can’t have six arms! At least give me and Michelangelo one!” Blue says.

“Tell me how to glow like Orange.” Raph says. Two arms, one freckled and one darker green and scarred, have joined together and are doing some makeshift wave, linking fingers and rippling up and down. Another freckled arm is grabbing a handful of soggy cereal and trying to feed to to Raph. One of Raph’s own arms slaps it away and he kicks his leg. A yelp of pain follows.

“Cut that out, arm. Or I’ll saw your off.” He threatens. The arm strokes his face.

Orange is still dancing. Red is trying to sleep. In the background, you can see a beam of light as a door opens from behind him. Purple’s silhouette is in the doorway, poking his snout into the room.

Michelangelo, meanwhile, has grabbed Klunk and has shoved her close to the camera. Her nose is only in the frame. He is making high pitched meowing sounds.

“Does anyone want to play uno?” Donnie asks. “No?”

Raphael screams into his microphone again. He then shoves his face close so his eye can only be seen, flicking the third eyelid on and off.

“What the f*ck –“ Blue cries out at the action. Raphael laughs loudly, leaning back.

“Raphael, watch out –“ Michelangelo yells out. Behind Raphael, two white eyes and a large grin fade out from the darkness around him. In a low, almost inaudible whisper, Leonardo whispers:

Run.”

Raphael shrieks. The camera rocks and the signal is cut off.

“Oh man…” Donatello slaps his head against the desk. In the background, you can hear yells and bangs from behind the closed door.

Meanwhile, Purple can be seen sneaking into Red’s room. His eyes shine eerily in the darkness. With his teeth, he seems to be trying to pry a blanket from the top of Red’s mountain. In the doorway, Blue waves at the camera and starts dancing in tune with Orange’s beat. Red’s eye twitches.

“Hey!” Raph’s cereal is knocked from his hands by a stray arm. He growls.

“My arms better start running.” He says after a moment. There is a shriek and a flurry of movement, Leo and Mikey hurrying out from behind Raph and trying to make their way to the door. Raph cracks his neck and dives, tackling Leo to the ground.

On Leonardo’s screen, Raphael walks over and shuts the lights off after him.

“I am Leonardo now.” Is all he says. He presses his mouth close to the camera again. “Is this thing on?”

Michelangelo –“ Donatello says, high pitched in panic. On Michelangelo’s screen, a small flame is growing on his desk, illuminating his face in an orange light. He looks up at the screen and grins.

“I’m just playing around!” Michelangelo drops one of the plastic babies into the fire after making it giggle and do a flip.

“You are seriously twisted.” Donnie says. His red eyes gleam. “I think I want to dissect you.”

Michelangelo cackles, the fire growing.

“Mikey, no more fires!” Donatello tries to tell him. “This is supposed to be a calm, healthy –“

Red springs up when Purple and Blue trip and fall onto him. A blanket still rests in Purple’s jaws.

“I said, be quiet!” Red hisses. “You have three seconds to run.”

Purple and Blue shriek as they run from Red’s room. Blue can be seen grabbing is camera, which turns out to be a phone. He runs, filming as he does so.

“Sanctuary! Sanctuary!” He huffs. The camera shakes as he runs.

Orange is still dancing when they burst into his room, slamming the door after him.

The fire on Michelangelo’s screen has grown vastly. The turtle is slamming his hand down on the desk as he throws more plastic babies in, chanting “the lambs” in Japanese. The flame sets off the fire alarm in the entire lair for the 03 universe. Orange, seeing this as a challenge, turns up the music until the screen is vibrating with the force of the sound waves’ vibrations.

“Michelangelo!” Donatello is about to race from his desk when he yells in alarm. Leonardo has sneaked up behind him and blown on his neck.

Donatello takes a deep breath. It seems like he is trying to keep his patience together, but fails. Instead, in a blink of an eye, he tackles Leonardo to the ground.

Raph’s screen is taken over by Mikey’s face. He keeps beatboxing, only stopping to duck when Leo is thrown at the screen.

“I’m thinking of moving to the artic. Maybe then I can sleep through all my problems.” Donnie talks to no one in particular, not even flinching when the fight is brought into his room.

Purple and Blue are crying as they dance next to Orange, eyeing the door warily.

“I flew too close to the sun!” Michelangelo suddenly cries out in alarm as the fire takes over his desk entirely. Raphael starts to mimic the fire alarm sound loudly into the microphone.

Unexpectedly, a new member joins the call. They don’t have a name or an icon.

They squint, their purple mask furrowing in confusion as they take in the chaos erupting onto the screen. They have a rounded face, with a defined beak and soft eyes.

“What the –“ the new turtle begins to say, but is cut off as all the screens are kicked from the call.

HasTheBraincell:

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I’ve tracked the signal

It’s like he popped up out of nowhere

f*ck:

Wtf

Donatello:

Youre telling me!

~~Electro~~:

HE SPEAKS

CaptainLeo:

What do you mean popped in

@I_Crave_Chemicals

AteTheBraincell:

[Voice note]

[The sound of rapid banging on a door, along with a voice whispering “Raph” over and over]

Hey someone let him in before he breaks in

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: a blurred image of Blue perched on top of Purple on a worn couch, trying to grab the softshell’s phone. Purple is mid-fighting back, Blue’s bandana tails in his mouth and snout curled into a snarl. You can see a silhouette of Red in the background, eyes narrowed in annoyance as he approaches them]

angry teetle

HasTheBraincell:

Wait is blue a slider? His markings are fascinating!

We’re actually yellow bellied sliders (I think) but most of our markings have gone unfortunately.

~MagicMike~:

AWWW

WantsTheBraincell:

Don

HasTheBraincell:

Apologies. Back to business!

@Donatello please send an explanation how you got here, who you are (with photo evidence) and your favourite dinosaur if you are indeed a fellow Donatello

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Are we skipping the part where he got here for no reason???

f*ck:

Wait is he

No

Donatello:

Um okay! I can do that though I am not too sure myself how this actually happened? Are you all alternate turtles here? It seems quite fun, I think I’m going to stay

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You can’t just decide that

You broke in

With no evidence

~~Electro~~:

can we keep him???

WantsTheBraincell:

You are all testing my patience

Donatello:

You need to take a chill pill, pal. Genius in articulation takes time.

AteTheBraincell:

Hes shoving plastic babies in my door

@WantsTheBraincell tell him to f*ck off

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I don’t believe him

Seems to be dodging questions

But genius does take patience, I think we can all agree there, as a fellow genius I would know

~MagicMike~:

I need to know what species @UNIVERSE_12 are now pls pls pls

Red:

what happen to blue?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Don’t worry about it

WantsTheBraincell:

It’s like herding feral cats here

I hate it here

Kill me

HasTheBraincell:

Ignore him he’s just like that

Donatello:

Seems like a broody type.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

How did you get here

Donatello:

Rude. That’s more Raph’s thing.

You sound like him, and I’m not just talking about your shared voice actor

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Excuse me?

f*ck:

IT IS! ITS THE TURTLE POWER DUDES WE MET

HasTheBraincell:

AteTheBraincell:

LostTheBraincell:

WantsTheBraincell:

Shut it

~~Electro~~:

*whispers* I think that’s ableist

f*ck:

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@Donatello

Donatello:

I got lost in the sound

I think this is chaos.

HasTheBraincell:

So how did you get here? And, if you are a Donatello, where are your brothers? If you don’t mind me asking.

Donatello:

Honestly I think I came here for the plot.

I was turning on the heater to see whether I had fixed it but instead of turning the heater on it made my computer light up and the next thing I know I’m staring at loads more turtles.

Who was the one that was on fire?

LostTheBraincell:

Me!

~~Electro~~:

Wait you turned on a random button and instead you were roped into a multiversal chat???

Wtf

I_Crave_Chemicals:

THAT’S NOT HOW SCIENCE WORKS

HasTheBraincell:

What?

f*ck:

Wtf

~MagicMike~:

Makes sense to me <3

Hi other bro!! Or sibling? Or sister??

Donatello:

I know, doesn’t make sense.

These things happen a lot. Like I said, plot contrivances.

And I’m a dude, and so are my bros.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What do you mean it was by accident

How

Donatello:

Well I have been doing this multiverse shebang for a while. I created a gun and saved another multiverse from an overgrown cheese grater with a rage problem

AteTheBraincell:

Don’t tell me you are the lil squishy guys with the belt buckles

Please tell me no

WantsTheBraincell:

Wait, were you the group against our shredder? When we met Turtles Prime?

Donatello:

Yes!!! It’s good to meet you again!

Man, who would’ve thought huh? Small multiverse

~~Electro~~:

Wait you met them too??? Ughshaha

LostTheBraincell:

Hey I remember you! Where are the other little dudes?

f*ck:

f*ck

CaptainLeo:

Wait, seriously?

Red:

I dont think we ever met them unless purple was spyin on them

Which I hope not

Bootyyyshaker9000:

*laughs confidently* of course not!

Red:

You cant even lie ovr text

Donatello:

Gotta say some nice tech you got here.

Gotta tell the guys when they wake up for sure. Leo will be geeking out until the next decade for sure

I_Crave_Chemicals:

All this research

And you came here by accident

Donatello:

What can I say

WantsTheBraincell:

Could we have some pictures to confirm identity?

Donatello:

Right right right. Let me just

[Video Recording]

[The camera blurs and spins so it is facing Donatello. This Donatello has a curved beak and short stature, with a light purple mask and goggles over his head. Next to him, a heater is buzzing and a mound of blankets shifts.

“Hello, I am Donatello, nice to meet you all.” Donatello begins. He smiles as he pans the camera over to the mound of blankets. “And these are my brothers, though they’re a little out for the count at the moment. Mixing a broken heater and mid winter storms isn’t a great mix, let me tell you.”

Donatello’s hand grabs a sliced apple from a bowl that he has seemingly been preparing for a short while. He speaks as he moves over to the mound of blankets.

“I gotta say, this video tech is much better than ours. I’m jealous!” He pulls back the blanket a small fraction and waves the apple slice in front of it. “My lab is heated separately you see, and I didn’t realise the heater had broken over night because I fell asleep after trying to create a shrink ray again. So the guys have…well, started hibernation a little early until I fix it up!”

There is a chirp from the blankets, and a beak is suddenly thrust out. It sniffs the air, searching for the apple slice. Another one emerges from the blankets and bonks the other beak, causing angry chirping from both sides.

“Aw come on guys! No fighting!” Donatello splits the apple in two and the beaks snap them up quickly. The camera blurs and the video ends.]

~MagicMike~:

wassup my fellow brumating boys

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of 03 Leo staring at his phone softly]

I think you’ve won him over

Red:

Are you okay???

Donatello:

Thanks but we’re fine! I fixed the heater so they should be getting up soon

~~Electro~~:

Awwww

the angry chirps my god

can we do that??

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Wait, your brothers don’t chirp? Like, you know, turtles? Which is what we are?

AteTheBraincell:

Figures

They have freaky hands and feel too

f*ck:

u have a freaky face, f*ck boy

HasTheBraincell:

Wonderful alliteration wasted on a brash comeback

We’ve been chirping since we were tots, less so as adults. Only when something serious happens to us.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

i wanna join ur yutle pile so baaaafdd

Donatello:

I don’t know about when we were children, we kinda mutated as teenagers immediately. But we chirp do a bunch of “turtle stuff” I guess, it’s how it’s always been for us.

f*ck:

wait what

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Huh

How

What

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Wow, that’s a curveball

~~Electro~~:

wait so ur like 5??? how old are u wtf???

~MagicMike~:

I’m not the youngest

Finally

CaptainLeo:

I think I’ve had three heart attacks in three minutes

You’ve only spoken for less than half an hour

How

I

LostTheBraincell:

So like in theme parks can you go free cos kids can go free and your technically kids

Donatello:

Unfortunately no

We tried

Failed

Michelangelo remembers our time as turtles but no one else does.

LostTheBraincell:

Another Michelangelo win, yes

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: two tiny plastic babies are taped to Raph’s sai.]

Who

How have you got working with you @LostTheBraincell cos you were in my room the entire time with me

HasTheBraincell:

[Video Recording]

[Don is giggling as he films Leo unsheathing his katana, only for three small plastic babies to spill out of the casing. He stares down at the floor for a moment, then sighs deeply]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

So far @Donatello has casually broken all previously established logic and I don’t know what to do with myself

~~Electro~~

@I_Crave_Chemicals out here having a mental breakdown whilst we talk about plastic babies and sleepy turtles

Red:

Ive learnt to stop questionin things

f*ck:

I like that plan

CaptainLeo:

Wait who was bullying our hands

And feet

~~Electro~~

Mm feet

>@~~Electro~~ has been put in The Isolation Chamber by @Bootyyyshaker9000 for “Until he learns to shut the f*ck up” <

~MagicMike~:

Another mikey taken

Bullying

Damn

LostTheBraincell:

*leans over and whispers* I think this place is corrupt

~MagicMike~:

*whispers back* me too, we fight for our voice

AteTheBraincell:

Shut up, both of you

Donatello:

We’ll have i passed the test? I’m not some clone or something, am I?

I think I could be, it’s happened before. But usually clones are evil, so I think I’m safe.

CaptainLeo:

Almost all of what you say is so far left I don’t know how to respond

Donatello:

Wait until you meet Raph

Bootyyyshaker9000:

On behalf of the Council of the Dons, I have decided that you may thrive with us fellow counterparts until further notice. You may invite your brothers and mingle.

Donatello:

Oh, that’s great! Michelangelo is going to love everything about this!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I have so many questions

Donatello:

That’s nice. Don’t think I can answer them

LostTheBraincell:

Can I have an apple slice?? I want one

AteTheBraincell:

We lost apple slice privileges after you shoved one up Leos nostril because he wouldn’t give you his blueberries

HasTheBraincell:

Don’t remind me

WantsTheBraincell:

That’s why you’re never getting the brain cell back

~MagicMike~:

All this abuse

Donatello:

[Photo ID: a slightly shaky image of a sleepy Michelangelo beaming at the camera. His eyes are half open, one of them light blue and the other completely white, clearly blind in that eye. He looks out of it, almost falling back to sleep, swaddled in a huge blanket.]

Sorry? Michelangelo wanted to see a picture of himself on the improved camera. He likes it a lot already.

Expect random pictures of things from him, he’s a bit of a kleptomaniac.

WantsTheBraincell:

Can we trade Mikeys

I’m done with my one

I found a plastic baby impaled on my katana

And he set the lair on fire

LostTheBraincell:

You’re just jealous

Skill issue

WantsTheBraincell:

I’m selling you to the freak show

Leonardo:

Where did the aplle slices go

Donatello:

[Video Recording]

Donatello is chuckling as he focuses the phone on Michelangelo. The younger turtle is flapping his hands at rapid rate, pacing back and fourth whilst happily grinning and chirping. He is also talking, fractured sentences that keep getting interrupted by another.

“I wanna know what comic books they have! Do you think we could –“ Michelangelo spots Donatello filming and grins, waving his hand.

“Tell the dudes I say hi! Can they see my doing a humunguso wave right now?” Michelangelo goes back to flapping his hands again. He trips over a blanket mound, which hisses at him.

[Video ends]

He’s very excited I can tell you. He’s about to take off!

f*ck:

Who was that f*ckin gremlin in the blankets???

WantsTheBraincell:

Why is there a plastic baby on my incense stick

Donatello:

I have dealt with my idiot brother

He took my phone I apologise

He has been jailed

Bootyyyshaker9000:

But of course! A fair trade, after all!

[Photo ID: Donnie’s face is mostly in the frame. He is grinning. Behind him, you can make out Mikey, Leo and Raph caught in some kind of oversized net in a forest. Donnie has a small amount of purple markings showing from underneath his bandana, his eyebrows now having a drawn slit in each of them. Leo can also be seen to have more markings, now with light yellow stripes on his throat. Barely visible, Mikey’s arms can be seen to be covered in white scars, up to his shoulders, colliding with the various spots that decorate his body. Raph easily overtakes them all, almost 8 foot.]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

When we first got this chat we did send pictures, we should probably pin them for next time

But here

[Photo ID: Leo and Donnie are smiling in the centre of the camera, the lair clearly a backdrop behind them. To the right, there is a green and red blur that is Raph, who is clearly mid-tackling someone to the ground. You can see a freckled, lighter hand at the bottom of the screen, which is the only evidence Mikey is in the frame.

Donnie is notably taller than the others, with few scars and singed mask tails. Raph is the smallest, a foot under Donnie, and has a prominent scar across his beak. Leo is the most scarred, the tallest besides Donnie, and has a arm and knee brace with a crutch leaning to the side. Mikey has stickers running up the arm you can see, and decorative plasters on his fingertips.]

f*ck:

Out of every photo

CaptainLeo:

Not my fault you and Mikey can’t stay still for any family photo

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: all four of the 03 turtles are sat around a table, a cake in the centre with candles and confetti. Donnie is grinning to the right, a set of oversized sparklers in his hand that are lit. Leo is on the opposite side, clearly distracted as his face is blurred, looking towards Raph and Mikey. Raph is grinning at the camera with a thumbs up, his other hand grabbing Mikey’s head and dunking him into the cake face first. Mikey’s hand is thrown outwards in a bad attempt to catch himself, his face blurred and a few centimetres away from the cake.

Leo has his bandana tails twisted into a platt, the ends woven in with red, purple and orange strips. He has a large scar over his arm, and a cracked plastron (though this is covered by a painting of a cherry blossom branch) and carapace from where Karai stabbed him. Raph is the most scarred out of his brothers, notably having a face scar that looks like an old burn. He also has claw marks scarred on his shoulder and a crack in his plastron resembling 2012 Raph’s. His bandana tails are torn at the end with a few piercings, dyed black at the tips in a gradient. Donnie is has the least scars out of his brothers, only his hands having a few white scars. He has goggles on his head, various bags and belts strapped on him. Mikey is too blurred to be seen much of him, but his bandana tails can be seen to have beads woven into them, along with a few piercings. His carapace also seems to have some kind of watercolour painting on the back, though not much can be seen.]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I did not consent to his freedom.

Shut it

Mik:

I remember both you guys!!!!

Alternate bros!!!

Donatello:

Ah yes, good times

WantsTheBraincell:

Our shredder almost wiped out our entire existence

Raphael:

Yep, good times alright

It made a great movie though

CaptainLeo:

I cant with these guys

Mik:

I love the beads on the masks of the older bros theyre real sparkly looking

LostTheBraincell:

My thoughts exactly

And Raph said they were dumb

Bootyyyshaker9000:

How many alternates have you met???

@I_Crave_Chemicals get your Donnie mind here this instant they speak

f*ck:

Please tell me you guys dont say turtle powr still like nerds

And your mikey is more floaty than ours lol

Leonardo:

Floaty??? No that’s just Michelangelo!

Raphael:

I hope that wasn’t an insult, buddy

~~Electro~~:

Damn protective brother squad comin in hot

Mik:

How do I change my name i want the wuiggly things like my alternate compadres!!

The reign of Mik is over

Totally wiped out!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Why do you speak like a surfer dude

Mik:

Awww thanks

Raphael:

I’m reading up and I’m seeing a lot of talk about babies

WantsTheBraincell:

Don’t talk to me about the babies

Leonardo:

Oh I have a question! What’s your favourite ninja weapon if you could have any? I know it might correlate to our weapon of choice for a lot of them but I think it’s a cool topic right?

Of course I’m still with katana, twin blades always have the best balancing and are surprisingly light

Raphael:

Oh no he’s started up again

WantsTheBraincell:

Yes I completely agree! Have you tried holding ones made with a more hollow metal? I’ll admit at first I wasn’t very keen but the levels of agility I can achieve in fighting is far better than before

CaptainLeo:

Really? I prefer a heavier weight, it brings more force to my blows and is better at defence

Though I think I understand the appeal, afterall a ninja

~~Electro~~:

Please take this to the leo chat I’m so bored man

WantsTheBraincell:

Sobbing right now

Mik:

Dont cry :(

Raphael:

Sarcasm, Michelangelo

Mik:

Oh good <3

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Red:

Leonardo:

Raphael:

~~Electro~~:

AUGGHYA

CaptainLeo:

Are you talking about the f*cking shredder ????

AteTheBraincell:

I need to get a drink so I can spit it out

WantsTheBraincell:

No????!!??

f*ck:

f*ckin hell

~MagicMike~:

Ours was a literal demon so uh

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Lilac you need to come here and read this sh*t

@I_Crave_Chemicals

@I_Crave_Chemicals

HasTheBraincell:

Maybe they’re busy :(

Bootyyyshaker9000:

All day???

Suspicious

Not in a fun way

HasTheBraincell:

How can it be in a fun way?

Donatello:

Good evening, gentle-turtles.

HasTheBraincell:

Morning

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@I_Crave_Chemicals Lilaaaac

Donatello:

Lilac?

HasTheBraincell:

Purple calls them that, and so do I

Kind of a nickname, they’re cool with it

I believe I have been dubbed Lavender

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Indeed

Lilac needs to get their butt down here I can’t handle this information alone

I think it needs all of our brainpower

Donatello:

I can provide more if you like!

I never told you guys about that time I created the secret to immortality

Bootyyyshaker9000:

For my health, please shut the f*ck up

HasTheBraincell:

I think you triggered a migraine with that sentence

Donatello:

That’s the Donatello effect

HasTheBraincell:

Maybe ping Lilac again later they’re clearly not answering

Maybe he’s just out on a skip run.

His brothers didn’t seem fussed, I wouldn’t worry.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am not worrying as you say, just mildly concerned as I would like to talk to them about this and I would not like him to miss out.

Not worried at all.

Donatello:

How are you so bad at lying that I can basically hear the nervous laugh

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Shut it

HasTheBraincell:

Purple, play nice

Bootyyyshaker9000:

That’s no fun!

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

LostTheBraincell:

Therefore fundamentally obeying the law is wrong if it stops you from having fun and the whole system was just created to stop people enjoying themselves and to reign control as a secret government run by crab people

Mik:

really?????

do you think so

Leonardo:

I’m going to have to disagree

HasTheBraincell:

@LostTheBraincell you literally were in prison every week when we went to the future

The only reason you don’t break laws now is because you need to stay hidden

Honestly I think it was a blessing in disguise not letting you loose on society during the day

LostTheBraincell:

Ableist

CaptainLeo:

Yeah no I don’t think you can keep countering every argument with that point

LostTheBraincell:

Watch me

Raphael:

Why is your mikey a psycho

Who decided this

Everything that has come out of his mouth has made me glad we didn’t let him stay in our universe for more than a few hours

HasTheBraincell:

Trust me when we went to the future you should have seen Leo try and control him

He gave up after the 60 th arrest

Raphael:

I don’t know whether to be impressed or horrified

LostTheBraincell:

I have that effect on people

CaptainLeo:

Honestly I could see my mikey doing the same thing

Super skilled, just no motive

~~Electro~~:

I heard you were talking sh*t about me

AteTheBraincell:

Wtf

LostTheBraincell:

Excuse me?

AteTheBraincell:

You know what I’m talking about

LostTheBraincell:

[Video Recording]

Leo is seen stretching in the dojo when Donatello walks up to him from out of the frame. He is stoic, completely serious as he randomly clasps Leo’s hand and gives it a firm shake. Wordlessly, he leaves again, and Leo confusedly looks down at the hand Don shook to find a small plastic baby there. He looks back up in the direction Donatello left, his face a mixture of confusion, disappointment and concern.

[Video ends]

CaptainLeo:

What

AteTheBraincell:

I’m ending this

I knew Don was involved, the whor*

Betrayal

LostTheBraincell:

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Raphael:

WantsTheBraincell:

[Video Recording]

The recoding is dark for a few seconds, only the sound of scrambling and a female tone of laughter. For a moment, you can see 03’s April before the camera flips, and you get a view of the lair.

Immediately Michelangelo slides into frame, carrying a few buckets filled with the tiny plastic babies. His face is comically panicked as the camera follows his path to a large submarine parked in what seems to be a water hatch leading deep into the sewer pipes.

“Hurry! Hurry the f*ck up!” Mikey flings open the door, and you can see a small army of plastic babies lining the floor of the submarine. “Save the children!” He starts tossing the buckets in quickly, eyes darting around as he does so.

“Quick! They’re on their way!” Donny hops down from the ceiling, carrying more plastic babies. He too is frantically shoving them in the sub.

“WATCH OUT!” Michelangelo screams at Don, but it is too late. A blur of blue and green shoots across the screen and tackles Donny out of the frame with an angry growl. Michelangelo starts throwing in the plastic babies more haphazardly in his panic.

Suddenly, Raphael bursts from the mountain of plastic babies in the submarine, yelling. Without taking a breath, he grabs Mikey’s bandana tails and tugs him down with him in the pile, becoming completely out of sight again apart from a few flailing limbs that kick outwards.

April bursts into louder laughter and the video cuts off.

[Video Ends]

Raphael:

I retract my statement

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Nooooooooo ARM BUDDY

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Video Recording]

Orange is hammering himself repeatedly into a glass window, looking confused each time he collides with the glass. Occasionally he lets out an angry chirp, and Blue is laughing loudly in the background.

[Video ends]

@LostTheBraincell this is what I was talking about to youu earlier

ExBraincell:

I have awoken to the sound of mockery and now I have three requests

One, can I have my name back? I literally saw you try and balance a katana on another katana whilst fighting Raphie today @HasTheBraincell

Two, should I be concerned about the way Orange looks like a house fly?

Three, ignore @f*ck in the kindest way possible, he’s always mean @Mik

~MagicMike~:

[Video Recording]

Orange is poking his head out from behind a shelf in what looks like a pizza place filled with different yokai. The camera zooms in on Blue, who is talking to a white rabbit in a waiter’s uniform.

“Are you a library book?” Blue is grinning, overconfident, as he begins to lean on a countertop. “Because I wanna –“

He is cut off when his elbow slips and he slams head first into the waiter’s cart. With the momentum, the cart shoots down the restaurant with Blue screaming on top, until they both crash out of a window. Orange is stifling giggles, camera shaking with the effort as he zooms back in on the rabbit’s bewildered face.

[Video ends]

LostTheBraincell:

No no stop im dyin of laughter here plssss

Raphael:

That went wrong in every way it could

Impressive

ExBraincell:

Is that usagi?

AteTheBraincell:

Reminds me of a certain someone

HasTheBraincell:

Shut the f*ck up

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: image of Blue standing in an archway, glaring daggers at Orange, who is oblivious (facing away with his headphones on).]

[Photo ID: Blue is mid leap, and Orange is caught in the action of scrambling away on all fours, seemingly torn between popping into his shell and running as one of his limbs has fully retracted.]

What is going on here, brothers?

Ah

Donatello:

Can we go back to the turtle who is smacking himself into a window? No?

Red:

its a box turtle thing orange does like his shell thing

which blue shouldnt film and help him

AteTheBraincell:

No no no you can’t say “box turtle thing” but the blorbos dont do it

And since f*cking when

ExBraincell:

Actually it’s true! Box turtles (ornate ones included) can’t perceive glass well at all. They’ll just keep hammering into it

Though I’m curious if it happens all the time

AteTheBraincell:

You want the brain cell status back don’t you

ExBraincell:

Please it’s all I have I can’t go on –

HasTheBraincell:

Shut it

Bootyyyshaker9000:

If he knows glass is there it’s fine

My dear twin just chose to not tell him like a skan*

Mik:

oh we totally get that sometimes!!!! You should have totally seen us when we first mutated talk about a shell shocker!!!

and little turtle me had no idea why I couldnt just walk out of that little tank and swim to superbuloso freedom!!!!

CaptainLeo:

Again why do u speak like a surfer dude

~~Electro~~:

I wish I could tell turtle me that algae is overrated :(

Leonardo:

Raphael:

Nah gotta have a few pieces of moss on a margarita and anchovies man

That hits the spot

LostTheBraincell:

Ex f*cking cuze me

I am not thinkin bout that

HasTheBraincell:

You actually eat that on pizza?

f*ck:

I don’t like the way ur implyin it would be fine not on pizza

LostTheBraincell:

I mean it’s not that bad

Like sometimes I snap up a bug or two if I’m a little peckish

AteTheBraincell:

He does not speak for all of us

His stomach is a black hole I swear

~~Electro~~:

Omg fast metabolismn/low blood sugar gang???

LostTheBraincell:

Omg the girlies out to get some snackies

HasTheBraincell:

Leonardo:

Mik:

LostTheBraincell:

LostTheBraincell:

Red:

Mik:

Red:

Raphael:

Remind me to never get on your bad side geez

LostTheBraincell:

I’m glad I can’t tuck into my shell

~~Electro~~:

Wait fr

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@CaptainLeo where is your Donatello

I must speak with him but the council has not been able to reach him

Leonardo:

We can’t either

Donatello:

Too bulky

We don’t have armoured sides

~~Electro~~:

Ew

CaptainLeo:

My Donnie is working I would imagine

I haven’t seen him in a while I can only assume it’s that

Though he needs to sort out some trackers I want created so I will check up on him

Thanks for bringing it up

~~Electro~~:

I’ll do it

f*ck:

Yeah no

You’ll trash the lab

~~Electro~~:

Lately they’ve been letting me in!

CaptainLeo:

They?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

why is it always drama with these guys fr

Raphael:

I’m not complaining

You’d think they’d figure stuff out after five seasons but no

~~Electro~~:

I mean this in the best way Lee but you are only gonna go in there to nag him

He’s been way overworked lately I’ve tried to get him out trust me

f*ck:

He’s the smart one its his job lol

Donatello:

Hmmm no?

I do enjoy a bit of yoga in my free time

Raphael:

Can verify

He bends like no turtle should it’s scary

~ExBraincell~:

We should probably try and break this up

LostTheBraincell:

So like does anyone have a candy crush account I need hearts

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I gotya sis

HasTheBraincell:

I left for two seconds to dunk Mikey’s head down a toilet what happened here

Why do you always make them fight

~~Electro~~:

No its f*ckin not

Why do you keep saying this sh*t

CaptainLeo:

He’s the only one that can do these things Mikey

Unless you can

I don’t nag him, he can always tell me no can’t he?

~~Electro~~:

What, like how u can stop training when one of us gets hurt on a patrol??? U see what I mean?

f*ck:

He doesnt mind hes a nerd

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Disclaimer, I would’ve punted you across the room if you were my brothers and saying that sh*t

It’s not easy to say no

I know that

Bootyyyclapper9000:

*sad flute solo*

IM SKRRY THAT WAS MEANGT TO BE A WHIKE AGO AAJJSAK

Leonardo:

How are you an alternate of me

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I’m the cool one

HasTheBraincell:

No

No you’re not

~~Electro~~:

Yeah im not getting into this here

im checking on him

LostTheBraincell:

I want to start a band who joining me

Bad timing wait

Raphael:

I’ve always wanted to be in a band

Donatello:

I can play the windpipes?

AteTheBraincell:

What the actual f*ck is wrong with you

ExBraincell:

That argument got pretty heated, wow

I’m going to go ahead and delete that, just to help if anyone is triggered by it!

Maybe next time we could avoid this? I have been informed that we have a few empathy here

CaptainLeo:

I apologise deeply

LostTheBraincell:

Nah it’s chill

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I’m going to take your other knee

Raphael:

Not a fan?

LostTheBraincell:

Well I’m starting up a brilliant ASMR session if anyone wants me

ExBraincell:

Not again

I’m banning you

Bootyyyclapper9000:

No dont

AteTheBraincell:

Someone stop him quick before my ears bleed

HasTheBraincell:

I give up with him

I’m sorry for his behaviour, he’s your problem now

Leonardo:

No don’t leave me alone with him he scares me

What is asmr?

Raphael:

I think we’re gonna find out

>> Council Of The Dons <<

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@I_Crave_Chemicals Lilac I may have done a little mistake and created a family drama for you, though I can’t say I’m sorry

ExBraincell:

I’ll apologise in his name, as always then

Donatello:

I get the feeling you’re quite the drama king

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I aim to please

But Lilac let us help I’m bored anyway

Need a bit of engineering or chemistry

ExBraincell:

Don’t get me hooked on engineering I hyperfixate too hard

Donatello:

All science is my hyper fixation

I can’t help but break its laws!!!

Okay but longest days without sleep, go:

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Oh, I think it was almost five before I passed out

I mean fell asleep whilst standing to prove a point

ExBraincell:

Yeah kinda same for me

Almost five, then Mikey sat on me until I fell asleep which was a feat considering he was supposed to be on sedatives.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What happened?

ExBraincell:

No elaboration.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Noted.

Donatello:

Mine is only three days, Michelangelo also got the other guys to come and swaddle me with blankets until I couldn’t move!

Then he gave me his favourite pizza and I didn’t want to offend him so I went to sleep out of politeness.

ExBraincell:

Younger brothers really are something!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

this marks day six

Donatello:

The elusive Lilac has returned I see! But perhaps get some sleep first?

ExBraincell:

Please get some rest! That is extremely bad, I worry for you, you know that?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Workin

Cant stop gotta fix my mistake

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I might stage an intervention here, even though I am under qualified to do so.

Lilac, for the love of pizza break out of the huperfixation loop

Donatello:

I’m sure you haven’t broken anything that bad! What’s learning without mistakes, right?

ExBraincell:

Can you tell us what’s going on in that brain of yours?

It’s just us.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

K f*cked up

Im a sh*t brother

Thought bout what u said with mikey and adhd and did some research

f*cked sh*t up

Donatello:

Oh man this is bad

ExBraincell:

You haven’t messed anything up, I promise

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I called him stupid and sh*t

I’m fixing itt

Researchin everything so i dont get it wrong and I’ve written a speech for him

i was so mean to him

not an excuse anyway

i think this family is f*cked

sh*t i didn’t mean that

Bootyyyshaker9000:

You aren’t the only one why made mistakes with their Mikey

Under the alliance of the council I shall share this, but:

I was the same. When me and Mikey were kids I used to call him awful things because I didn’t understand and it frustrated me and he did everything I hated.

But I was like you, and did research, and saw the error of my ways – the fact that you are admitting that is enough to say you aren’t a bad brother, just misinformed I should think.

Donatello:

“I’m not good with emotions” my butt

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Silence heathen

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Makin it right

Still gotta fix lair but cant get out of loop

ExBraincell:

I have a good cure for that, don’t worry

I want you to find your Mikey, and give him a hug.

I’ve heard that is especially effective on Mikeys

I_Crave_Chemicals:

really? K

Donatello:

Donatello:

Helllp

[Photo ID: Mikey is taking an unsteady selfie. He seems to be collapsed in Donnie’s lab, with the scientist himself folded across his front. Donnie’s arms are looped around Mikey’s neck and waist, head rolling on his shoulder.]

They hugged me and started staying sorry and then passed the f*ck out

Raphael:

Mood

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Leonardo:

My Donatello is looking oddly subdued, he’s just staring at his giant microscope and not doing anything

What happened here?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I will not break the sacred seal of The Council

Raphael:

Geez, what a cultist

I bet you’re great at parties

AteTheBraincell:

Donny has been acquired

Taking him to watch Jurassic Park before Leo sees his face and starts crying

~~Electro~~:

HasTheBraincell:

LostTheBraincell:

CaptainLeo:

@~~Electro~~ I’m heading over and we are strapping him to his bed

~~Electro~~:

His eye bags are insane dude

He better not get out of bed for a month

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Video Recording]

Orange still has all the duct tape on his shell, but Blue is slowly walking out of the room.

“Leon!” Orange yell, rolling around in his shell a little. “Don’t leave me here! Leon?! Leonardo you better not –“

Blue runs away, giggling.

[Video Ends]

Teehee

Raphael:

He’s breaking free

~~Electro~~:

AteTheBraincell:

Don’t threaten violence mr “I thought it would be a smart idea to jump down 5 stories because some old ladys cat was stuck in a tree and father than climb down the fire escape like a normal turtle I wanted to do a triple backflip and break my ankle”

CaptainLeo:

Excuse me what

HasTheBraincell:

You’re over exaggerating

It was 4 stories

And my ankle is sprained

Where is mikey he will back me up

ExBraincell:

We agreed five years ago that Mikey doesn’t count as a solid defence

Not since he cartwheeled through a window and into that children’s party

Red:

?????

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What is going on

I’m trying to manage 9 turtles trying to lag out the server

AteTheBraincell:

YOUR ANKLE IS THE WIDTH OF MY NEXK IS f*ckING BROKEN

I thought we had to have a court hearing for this?

And my ankle is fine, that’s what ankles do sometimes

AteTheBraincell:

I hate you

We are skipping the court meeting

HasTheBraincell:

Decided

I have now returned to my former glory

WantsTheBraincell:

You can’t do this

I’m stringing you up from the ceiling in your sleep

Kill me

AteTheBraincell:

No amount of death threats are going to get you outta this

Red:

HasTheBraincell:

I am now Donatello

I reign supreme

AteTheBraincell:

I dunno youve been pretty f*ckin stupid lately

And you did rip off that robot head once

CaptainLeo:

I’m choking on my drink what

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Robots? Oh I hope you kept the head

At least did you dissect it?

HasTheBraincell:

I panicked

WantsTheBraincell:

@AteTheBraincell I saw you try and shove a hotdog up Casey’s nose yesterday you don’t get to talk

AteTheBraincell:

CaptainLeo:

I think I’m going to meditate and never speak to any of you again

You drive me crazy in a bad way

Raphael:

Crazy? I was crazy once

AteTheBraincell:

Raphael:

I’ll shut up I promise

Don’t make me go back there

I’m begging you

Please

CaptainLeo:

I’m watching you

I_Crave_Chemicals:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of the Isolation Chamber chat, where there is just floods of messages of the same phrase “crazy? I was crazy once…” over and over by all the users. Some vary in voice notes, and random pictures of close up eyes. There are multiple screenshots, scrolling down forever.]

What did I miss?

CaptainLeo:

@I_Crave_Chemicals I’m giving you five seconds to go back to sleep or eat something

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Can I riot

CaptainLeo:

No

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Yes, mom

Red:

Is he okay now?

Whatever happened shook up all Donnies quite a bit I think

WantsTheBraincell:

A bit???

HasTheBraincell:

I feel like the younger child watching the parents talk about them like they’re not there

Wait is this how Mikey feels??

CaptainLeo:

It brought attention some faults in my own interactions

I’m fixing it

And yes, he’s slept for almost 20 hours now

Red:

Wow purple your record just got beat

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Alas, my title!

Raphael:

Got a big ego this one, hasn’t he?

>>f*ck Windows<<

WantsTheBraincell:

Okay I do approve of this chat name

I feel like it represents all of us

Leonardo:

I haven’t experienced that yet

WantsTheBraincell:

Most of us

Bootyyyclapper9000:

WantsTheBraincell:

No

Shut up Blue

How are you me

Leonardo:

Oh?

Oh

Gossip is more Raphael’s thing but I am curious

CaptainLeo:

I guess this is the thing about Donnie and me?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

*nods, sipping tea*

WantsTheBraincell:

I can’t help but be a little concerned

I’ve seen a broken family once

Unfortunately it was all my fault

I don’t wish that on anyone, in all seriousness

Bootyyyclapper9000:

we need a bingo card damn similaritiees are too close

Leonardo:

Is everything actually going okay?

CaptainLeo:

Besides realising I’ve been a nagging mess of a brother?

It’s getting better

Raph’s been quiet though

WantsTheBraincell:

Let him have his space

It works for my Raph

Bootyyyclapper9000:

i mean u were only a little naggy

i guess

but you better make it up to him

my donnie was real upset over whatever they had been talking about

CaptainLeo:

Yeah I did

I think things are going to get better :)

Leonardo:

Good!

Now I am going to change the subject because this chapter was supposed to be lighthearted!

[Photo ID: Michelangelo is standing in what seems to be an alleyway, holding up a rusted spoon happily with a wave.]

He found a spoon :)

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I want to adopt your Mikey plsssss

also, the eye?? can I ask or nah

Leonardo:

Not today

It’s Raphaels story to tell if it is going to be told

WantsTheBraincell:

A spoon?

Leonardo:

He likes to collect things

He’s a right kleptomaniac

He gives things to us that he thinks we will like

Bootyyyclapper9000:

LET ME ADOPPT HIMM

CaptainLeo:

Oh my mikey collects pizza boxes

WantsTheBraincell:

My Mikey collects comic books mostly

And action figures

And oddly paper clips

Leonardo:

He just gave me the spoon <3

Bootyyyclapper9000:

*dies*

My Donnie collects plants

Mikey doesn’t do much collecting

CaptainLeo:

Paper clips???

WantsTheBraincell:

He wants to make the worst longest paper clip chain

He keeps having to start over every time our home has been destroyed but it’s currently the length of the entire lair

Leonardo:

Old blue, I love everything you just said but it’s also lined with mildly depressing stuff

Bootyyyclapper9000:

CaptainLeo:

Leonardo:

Why are you all like this

CaptainLeo:

At least I know how to use my weapons

Leonardo:

I used them to cut pizza how was I supposed to know

WantsTheBraincell:

Get out

>>The Cult Of The Michelangelo <<

[VIDEO CHAT]

[Loading Participants]

A single box blinks onto the screen. It is 2003 Michelangelo (referred to as Angelo), who is dressed in a long, orange dress and a stick crown. He has face paint on his face and scales, detailed swirls that hood under his eyes and trail to the edge of his beak and fingertips. He spreads his arm out wide, staring directly at the camera.

“My children! Today we welcome another member of our brethren! Come, and let us begin!”

At his words, three more screens load in – Orange, Mikey and Michelangelo. Orange and Mikey both have matching face paint but no exaggerated dress. They step back from the camera, and bow.

“Yes father Michel!” They both say with large smiles. Michelangelo giggles, flapping his hands a little as he looks at them all.

“Let the ceremony commence!” Angelo yells and tosses some paper clips at the camera. Immediately, both Mikey and Orange start doing the chant from Finding Nemo, clapping their hands and stamping their feet. They are tossing slices of pepperoni pizza into the air as Angelo begins to talk.

“Do you, Michelangelo, promise to be totally cool, and follow the ways of all Michelangelo kind?” The slider asks, pointing a large staff at the screen. Michelangelo nods.

Mikey and Orange start shrieking, throwing more slices of pizza at the camera.

“Then let it be known! You are now known as Little Mike, collector of all things great and small!” Angelo “dubs” Michelangelo by tapping the left and right side of the camera with his stick like a knighthood. “Celebrate, my children!

Michelangelo laughs as Orange and Mikey chant “Little Mike” in various tones of voice.

“Totally righteous!” The 87 turtle grins, clapping his hands.

The next moment, Angelo has thrust Klunk’s face at his camera so it takes up the entire screen.

“You have been acknowledged by Mother Klunk! You are one of us!”

Orange and Mikey chant “one of us” now, getting louder and louder.

Suddenly, Purple opens the door on Orange’s camera, looking very confused.

“What –“ he begins to say, but all the Michelangelos scream at his presence. Angelo yells “SCATTER” and the call abruptly ends.

[End video call]

LostTheBraincell:

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Both of you shut it

I’m making rules

~~Electro~~:

(Theyre just mad I know how to make fire now)

CaptainLeo:

[Photo ID: the entirety of the back of the lair of the 2012 universe is a crater covered in soot]

WHAT THE f*ck

HasTheBraincell:

Hey, I tried to tell him that adding kerosine would initiate a flame too fast

~~Electro~~:

Yeah but ur boring

LostTheBraincell:

*High fives*

Raphael:

So that’s why my Donatello was trying to down ethanol @AteTheBraincell??

Leonardo:

Everyone should know that our Donatello never backs down from any dare please stop encouraging him to drink ethanol

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Is that his little disclaimer??

LostTheBraincell:

Look I would’ve beat him if I hadn’t passed out from the chemical fumes when we added those plastic forks

HasTheBraincell:

I told you to wear a respirator like I was doing

CaptainLeo:

I’m sorry what the f*ck happened

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Am I the only sane turtle here???

f*ck:

CaptainLeo:

LostTheBraincell:

~MagicMike~:

Hey hey hey

Raphael:

I mean I literally saw you helping Blue start that fire in the botanical garden but sure

Mik:

I actually don’t like fire?

Too hot :(

Raphael:

Well yeah, that’s the point of it

Go back to bed

Mik:

Cnt tell me what to do

Leonardo:

Michelangelo

Mik:

:(

Donatello:

Luckily our mutation means I do not die by ingesting ethanol, as I have found out!

Either that or cartoon logic!

f*ck:

@LostTheBraincell bill nye was donnies favourite flame thrower

I_Crave_Chemicals:

YOU KILLED BILL NYE

Leonardo:

Donatello please

Mik:

Dont drink that etha thingy maybe??? Could feel how sick you were :(

Raphael:

I can feel the puppy eyes from here stop

Too powerful

Donatello:

Well I can’t back down from such an enticing challenge!

WantsTheBraincell:

Angelo what the f*ck did you do

LostTheBraincell:

Everyone always blames me! Blame Don!

HasTheBraincell:

I was actually helpful supervision

~~Electro~~:

@I_Crave_Chemicals I did not kill him, he was a worthy sacrifice!!!!1!

He knew what the cost was!!! Not sorry for science dude

AteTheBraincell:

Didn’t I hear you say “make it bigger” at one point, Don?

HasTheBraincell:

Can’t prove it

I_Crave_Chemicals:

He was an innocent victim

You can’t change my mind

Rule time

Bootyyyclapper9000:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LostTheBraincell:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CaptainLeo:

If it stops this from happening ever again

LostTheBraincell:

Bold of you to assume rules can stop me

Raphael:

Eh, it’s the effort that counts right?

~~Electro~~:

Hey

No

~MagicMike~:

I actually got a famous last moment before the shut down lol

[Video Recording]

2012 Mikey has oversized lab goggles on and a giant lab coat. In his hands, he has a huge flamethrower with the words “Bill Nye” scribbled on the side in purple pen.

The turtle giggles, staring up at the camera.

“So I just need to –“ he aims the flamethrower at the hissing mixture of chemicals and smoke in front of him and releases a streak of flame. As soon as the fire hits the target, the whole thing explodes, cut off by the video ending.

[Video ends]

~~Electro~~:

No harm no foul right???

WantsTheBraincell:

How are you still alive

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Leo staring at his phone with a concerned frown]

Okay whoever activated the Mama Leo scowl, stop it

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I have a draft of the first few rules, actually:

One, no more fire tutorials. At any cost or reason.

Two, no cults. Not referring to any group here, but I have heard from the council that there may be some suspicious activities occurring which I think needs to end before disaster.

Three, no more “virtual wresting” in the Raph chat. Stop running at the camera and tackling it as hard as you can. It doesn’t work.

Four, no more DIY asmr sessions, you keep making my Leo cry whenever he wants some peace (Angelo, I’m talking to you)

Five, the 87 universe needs to stop trying to break physics and built portal guns. Raph fell into another random dimension last week. Stop it.

Six, stop trying to use any Donnie tech (trademarked) to invite random universes, please!! We don’t know what’s out there and I can see a few invites have gone out, Mikey.

Seven, no more plastic babies

Eight, no more mediation sessions after 10pm because they get way too philosophical to be healthy anymore

Nine, 2003 Mikey (or Angelo) is not allowed in any video or voice chat unsupervised. 87 Donatello, any Michelangelo excluding 87’s, my Raphael and Blue do not count as supervision

Ten, stop trying to play hangman. It doesn’t work and always ends in a war.

LostTheBraincell:

Bullsh*t

I feel like this list is targeted

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Yea no

Raphael:

I admire your optimism

CaptainLeo:

I agree completely

AteTheBraincell:

That’s because you’re a puss*

CaptainLeo:

You’re not helping

Actually shut up

Mik:

Too many words :(

Leonardo.

BED

Mik:

:(

Red:

I think the rules are great apart from banning virtual wresting

You don’t understand it’s great

f*ck:

YEAH

~~Electro~~:

Cult? What cult

LostTheBraincell:

What’s a cult

It’s just a happy gathering

Mik:

Oh! My name!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@Bootyyyshaker9000 brought our attention to your little “ceremony”

~MagicMike~:

Lies

Donatello:

@Mik what about your name?

LittleMike:

:)

I got a sweet new name from my alternate compadres!!! <3

AteTheBraincell:

[Video Recording]

A recoding of a doorway leading into what seems to be the kitchen of the 2003 lair. From inside, you can hear a low giggle that turns into hysterical laughter, with the words “they think they can stop me?” spaced in between.

[Video ends]

He’s gone insane again

Run

HasTheBraincell:

Can I bring attention to inviting random people? I know it’s only happened in 2012 because their Mikey doesn’t know when to stop pressing buttons, but we could genuinely invite a bad universe which would ruin my day significantly

Raphael:

That was the politest “stop it or I’ll hit you” I’ve ever heard I’m jealous

f*ck:

im gonna start a riot

we keep the wrestling and in exchange ban all mikeys forever

~MagicMike~

Bitch you wanna fight

You wanna go

Son imma beat you so hard

f*ck:

GO ON THEN TITCHY

f*ckIN CHILD

GOOFY HATCHLING LOOKIN ASS

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Penalties for rule violation is the isolation chamber obviously

Donatello:

Doesn’t 03 Michelangelo rule that place now?

LittleMike:

I’m scared of going in there, it looks freaky wild man

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@LittleMike trust me you wont evr break rules

Blorb

Tort

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@Red dear brother of mine, you literally knocked yourself unconscious for a day after trying to do a virtual wresting match.

Red:

And I won!

CaptainLeo:

I don’t think that is a solid argument

AteTheBraincell:

puss*

WantsTheBraincell:

Raph please stop bullying

AteTheBraincell:

puss*

Raphael:

Wow, a turtle of many words

~~Electro~~:

I think I want to join Raphs riot

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Stop it

You don’t get to talk you killed Bill Nye

LostTheBraincell:

[Voice Note: a whispered, ragged voice muttering “you can’t stop me, do you know who I am? I rule the isolation chamber, foolish children!” Followed by lots of laughter.]

LittleMike:

Wait you can do voice thingies???

Totally bodacious how do I do it???!!!!

HasTheBraincell:

Do you want me to get him?

WantsTheBraincell:

Yes please

Before he commits aggravated assault again

Donatello:

You actually can’t stop me trying to recreate the portal gun, my fellow alternate

Leonardo:

We didn’t mean to teleport your Raph to an empty void for an hour!

f*ck:

Dullest hour of my life

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Get rekt

LittleMike:

[Voice note: a very loud voice giggling and shouting “Hello! Can you guys hear this? It’s Michelangelo, dudes!”]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

where can I get multiversal adoption paperrs

LittleMike:

Wait we can’t experiment @I_Crave_Chemicals?

But I gotta give you all the bottle caps I’ve been collecting for you, it’s gonna be beyond awesome!

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: A picture of Leo lying flat on his front on the floor, phone clutched to his chest]

You killed him

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Im adipojg him im adopting him im adopting himm

Red:

Stop adopting people

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Oh no I can feel the weight of the puppy dog eyes from dimensions away what is this

~~Electro~~:

Mikeys do it together all at once to send a shockwave big enough to destroy him

~MagicMike~:

(is it working?)

Raphael:

Hey, Michelangelo isn’t for sale!

He’s off the market, buddy

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Im

Adopting

Him

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Look, if we actually experiment safely rather than just hit a button and see what happens I think that could work

f*ck:

You say that like half your sh*t isnt just hitting buttons and hopin it dont blow up on us

HasTheBraincell:

Agreed! I do want to see Shelldon and Metalhead as soon as possible!

~~Electro~~:

(it worked)

f*ck:

Ew nerd

CaptainLeo:

Yeah I’d rather not be thrown into dimensions just a year after retiring thanks

~MagicMike~:

Y’all retired? Old

AteTheBraincell:

[Video Recording]

Raph can be heard chuckling as Donny walks into the room, dragging a tied up Mikey behind him. Donatello is completely unamused as Mikey is babbling dramatically.

“They cannot stop me! I am the bringer of chaos, leader of the Michelangelo Army! I will not be stopped! I shall not fall! I am forever!”

Donatello keeps walking past Raph, giving him a tired nod as he passes him. Mikey’s talking fades away as he is dragged away.

[Video ends]

Look what you did

Leonardo:

I think your Michelangelo has rabies

AteTheBraincell:

I’ve been trying to tell Leo this my whole life, trust me

>Cult of the Michelangelo<

[Video call started]

[Loading participants]

Four users join the call. Angelo is grinning as he strokes Klunk.

“For the record, this is not a cult! We are just sharing opinions through comedy night, right?” He says, turning towards the doorway of his room. Distantly, you can hear Leo’s voice yell “I don’t believe you!”.

Orange, who is currently covered in paint and waving at Michelangelo enthusiastically, chimes in with a grin.

“Yup! Nothing suspicious here!”

Mikey and Michelangelo laugh in agreement.

For a moment, there is another flicker of a screen in the call before Mikey shushes all of them.

“He’s coming!” The 2012 turtle hisses. The other Michelangelos straighten up as Donnie walks into the room. He squints at Mikey’s camera, his red eyes narrowing in suspicion.

“This isn’t another cult meeting, is it?” He hums. Mikey swats his hand away.

“No! Right guys?!”

All the other turtles voice their agreement.

Donnie hesitates for a second.

“Keep it that way.” He warns before exiting the frame. Mikey rolls his eyes.

“Buzzkill.” The box turtle folds his arms. “He just doesn’t understand our vision!”

“Hey, dude! It’s okay to come out now!” Michelangelo peers at the screen with a wide smile.

A final screen pops up, it’s user unknown. A turtle pokes his head into frame, braces glinting in his mouth as he breaks into a large grin.

“Oh good! I was really looking forward to comedy night!” He leans back in his seat. “Me first!”

LostTheBraincell:

2/10?

Cheese:

i like to stay optimistic for the future

LittleMike:

Why are your adventures so depresso man

I mean the worse thing that happened to me was a little after our show ended I didn’t have to deal with that all my life

~MagicMike~:

@Cheese yeah I feel like fighting Godzilla isn’t the best idea anyway??

~~Electro~~:

Shut up sir “I fought a demon at 13”

Cheese:

sounds like a good netflix show

Id watch it

~MagicMike~:

In my defence

I got super cool mystic powers

LostTheBraincell:

I fought a demon at 17 therefore I can 100% say not a good experience

I did get to turn into a dragon though

Cheese:

fr?

i had a dragon oc as a kid when I watched too much how to train your dragon

bit of trivia to add to the collection

~~Electro~~:

Dude you need ti stay a secret for longer

Cos like

Funny

Cheese:

i would do anything in the name of comedy

LostTheBraincell:

Man I feel like I should say something because I’m like the oldest but

Ew no I’m not a snitch

LittleMike:

I like secrets!!!

~MagicMike~:

Gotta be careful of purple tho

He thinks I’m getting indoctrinated into a cult or whatever man

LostTheBraincell:

Ignore his words my children

[Photo ID: klunk, wrapped in a knitted blanket. She has her eyes closed, and Angelo’s hand can be seen scratching her ears. She has notable grey fur around her muzzle and ears, but otherwise looks very well cared for and healthy]

Hail

LittleMike:

<3

Cheese:

Sorry to break it to the broskis but I do not like cats

LostTheBraincell:

*dies*

~MagicMike~:

uuughuuUUUUUHHH???

~~Electro~~:

I take it back we should totally sacrifice you

[Photo ID: ICK in a bowl, dozing in what looks to be a kitchen setting.]

My baby

Cheese:

i am willing to change my point of view through well structured argument and

wait is that ice cream

~~Electro~~:

MY BABYYYYY <3 <3

LittleMike:

I do actually have a klunk!

Ever since I got mutated I have her wanna see??

~MagicMike~:

@Cheese I will make a powerpoint presentation to persuade you with dr feelings!!

And YEAH DUH

LostTheBraincell:

Lemme see the kitty I must

LittleMike:

[Photo ID: a picture of Michelangelo in front of a mirror as he takes the picture. In his free arm he is tightly hugging a large stuffed cat. The cat has clearly been damaged, but repairs have been made meticulously to each tear and hole.]

Klunkers!

~~Electro~~:

I wanna just

Squish

Cheese:

ok i do not mind that

i love little toy dudes like that i have a stupid amount fr

LittleMike:

I do want a real pet but I’m not allowed just because I keep bringing in little compadres on the street that I take care of

Like raccoons and birds and cats and dogs and one time a bear! I brought back a family of crickets once but they ended up invading the lair when I dropped the box they were in

If I find a little dude I take him to the zoo now, most of the time!

LostTheBraincell:

Awww that’s cute

Cheese:

damn u really being mother teresa out there for the rodents

LittleMike:

<3

I can’t leave the little guys there! What if they get cold :(

~~Electro~~:

DONNIE ALERT

SCATTER SCATTER SCATTER

>> Council Of The Dons <<

I_Crave_Chemicals:

They’re up to something

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Agreed

HasTheBraincell:

We basically have no way of finding out, however

I don’t know about you but my Mike is much smarter than he acts

If he wants to hide something he’ll run circles around everyone

Donatello:

I’ve received some foreign feedback pings from their chat only, not any signatures I recognize, but nothing seems wrong, per say

Bootyyyshaker9000:

EXACTLY!

They are getting more powerful by the day, I fear my fellow intellectuals

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Ok why has a knitted blanket appeared out of midair addressed to Raph

Donatello

Donatello:

What, me?

That’s what I like to call multiverse mail!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Excuse me what

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Shocked gasp

Go on

HasTheBraincell:

Guys, can we not fiddle with the multiverse too much? Especially for mail???

Donatello:

Lavender, my good friend, your Raphael actually sent this gift to his alternate!

My Raphael asked about it after they were talking in their alternate chat for a bit, so I obviously obliged!

Not to fear, this is not as unstable as multiverse travel because it is basic objects! You can’t teleport people without ripping a giant hole you have to fix, but you can squeak in a few objects every once and a while :)

I_Crave_Chemicals:

How

How do you just

Invent something within a few minutes???

Donatello:

I have my trusty hammer!

And plot

Mostly plot

HasTheBraincell:

You exhaust me

Donatello:

Aww, thanks!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Show me your ways

I beg of you

Let me

HasTheBraincell:

No offence purple but I would be a lot more concerned if you had the power to chuck things across the multiverse

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Gasp!

How dare!

I am a very responsible and reliable Donatello who would not use it to access infinite uranium no thank you, definitely not me

I_Crave_Chemicals:

How are you still so bad at lying over text?

HasTheBraincell:

I wouldn’t trust lilac too much either

Two different flavours of mad scientist

I_Crave_Chemicals:

What’s that? I couldn’t hear that statement over the sound of hypocrisy

I saw you during The Great Arson Of The Turtleverse

Bootyyyshaker9000:

*part 1

HasTheBraincell:

I’m going to ignore that

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Back to the topic at hand

Why is there a knitted scarf from across the multiverse here?

And why did my Raph see it and look like he was going to cry?

HasTheBraincell:

I can ask my Raph but I feel this is a private thing

I don’t want to invade in that for a mere passing curiosity that will only satisfy myself

Bootyyyshaker9000:

You are 100% wrong

I do love a bit of drama

Donatello:

I never get tired of some of the petty things humans argue about honestly!

HasTheBraincell:

You are both despicable

Bootyyshaker9000:

I will take that as a complement

I_Crave_Chemicals:

No answer on the casual multiverse teleporting

Donatello:

Not really

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Okay

Um

Blueprints, maybe?

HasTheBraincell:

Do not even

Donatello:

Yes! Would you like me to scan them through?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

YES YES YES

HasTheBraincell:

Fine

Go on, then

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Hypocrite

HasTheBraincell:

Silence

>> i dunno red turtles i guess i’m not very creative <<

[Video call]

There are several screens which have a Raphael in the centre of them. The largest one, who seems to be leading the live stream, is 2003 Raph (Rafa). He is leaned back in his chair, holding out some knitting needles, which are in the process of creating a deep red scarf.

Red, Raph and Raphael are all following along, some more expertly than others. Raph seems to be struggling the most, curing every once and a while.

“Ok, so you wanna make sure that it is girly wrapped around the needle even if you’ve been doing it for a bit, ‘cos you could drop stitches if you ain’t careful.” Rafa explains. His hands are agile as the glide through the process, trained after years of the activity.

Raphael, who is creating a pair of big socks, hums with agreement.

“Tell me about it. I messed up so many times it was unfair. Turtle fingers certainly don’t help.” He wiggles the digits at the camera with a raised eyebrow ridge. “But you get used to it when your brothers keep asking you to make them blankets for every day of the week.”

Red chuckles. He has thread hanging from his spikes. Rather than knitting, he looks to be sewing a purple jacket together with quite a large tear on the back.

“You think you have problems?” With a grin, the snapper shows them his significantly bigger hands, hooked claws at the end. “Look what Raph has to thread a needle with.”

Raph suddenly throws his own knitting needles to the ground with a scowl.

“This is dumb. Waste of time!” He grumbles. “How is the exactly supposed to calm anyone down, it’s just –“

“Hey, you gotta give it time –“ Rafa instructs with a furrowed brow.

“I don’t want to give it time!” Raph argues back. “It’s stupid –“

“Then why are you so upset about it, huh? Doesn’t seem like the behaviour you expect to see from a turtle who doesn’t care.” Raphael shrugs, but stops knitting.

“Come on, with a bit more practice –“ Red tries, but is cut off.

“It’s not helping!” Raph gestures at them, becoming notably distressed. “How are you guys so calm all the time! Why am I so angry about messing it up constantly when you make it look so easy!”

Raphael frowns. “Hey, fella –“

“It’s stupid! I don’t know why I bothered trying! It’s obvious that nothing is going to work, and that – and that’s fine –“

“Then why are you crying?” Rafa points out. Raph, in shock, presses a hand to his cheek. Furiously, he scrubs them away.

“Am not! I’m just –“

“It takes time, and lessons learnt the hard way. I never said it was easy.” Rafa bluntly says. He stops knitting, leaning forward. Raph scoffs, ready to storm off, until the older turtle speaks again.

“When I was a teen, I used to get so angry all of the time. No matter what, no matter how, I would fly off the handle and do something dangerous. Like almost kill a brother.” Raph stops. Rafa chuckles darkly, running a hand down his face. “When my father was alive, he would always try and be the one to calm me, but not in the way I expected. He would always ask who I was angry at, not why.”

Rafa looks up again at the camera, meeting Raph’s eyes. The other counterparts remain silent.

“Almost always, it was the same answer. So, who are you angry at?” Rafa asks gently. Raph hisses, folding his arms.

“I don’t know! There’s always something annoying me, setting me over when everyone else is okay –“

Who?”

“Myself!” Raph yells. He almost seems shocked to admit it. Tears brim in his eyes as he speaks. “I always mess up! No matter how hard I try, I always hurt someone – but hey, that’s Raph for ya, right? Just the screw up, the hot head who – who gets into a fit of rage when someone teases him! There’s no point in trying because I always mess it up, I’ll never be right!” Raph breathes deeply. He moves, as if he is about to turn off the camera, but Rafa’s words stop him again.

“Wanna know a secret? I still get angry now.” He says.

“You think it just, goes away?” Red huffs bitter laughter. “Nah. That would be too easy.”

“But –“

“Show us your blanket so far.” Rafa requests before Raph can argue back. Raph scowls at the floor.

“It’s sh*t.”

“I didn’t ask for an opinion. I wanted to see it, and show ya somethin’.”

Hesitantly, Raph grabs the blanket off the floor and shows it to the screen. It is full of dropped stitches, clustered near the start and less so as it goes on. It’s wonky and imperfect, thread frayed in some areas.

“I still mess up too.” Rafa shows his blanket, and the dropped stitch or two near the start. They weren’t noticeable from a distance, but where are imperfections when up close.

“But if you stop at the first mistake, the first dropped stitch, you ain’t gonna improve. You ain’t gonna finish your blanket by giving up.” Rafa points at Raph’s blanket. “You see, you’ve made a lot of mistakes. There’s no denying that. But they get less and less as you choose to continue working, keep movin’ forward.”

Rafa smiles, small and genuine.

“You want my advice? Keep goin’. Cos if you call it quits after a few mistakes, a few accidents, well…” Rafa holds out his own scarf he was making at a distance. The mistakes are no longer visible compared to the end product. “…no one, not even yourself, will get to see any of the perfect stitches after, or the complete product, and how much better it looks when you see it all together.”

Raph slowly looks at his own blanket in progress. He still blinks tears back, but with less defensive mannerisms than before. Rafa grins.

“Gotta have a perfect stitch before hand to drop the next one.”

“I…yeah.” Raph murmurs.

“That was very suddenly deep. Not what this video call was supposed to be, that’s for sure.” Raphael hums after a moments silence. Red is smiling softly, bending over to resume his work.

“Hey Raphael,” Rafa resumes knitting, leaning back as he talks. “you think your brother can figure out a way to send something across the multiverse real quick?”

Raphael rolls his eyes.

“Am I a giant talking turtle?”

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Ok that’s it

Michelangelos, what are you hiding exactly?

LostTheBraincell:

Nothing

You dare accuse us

Cheese:

you mean text right

cos otherwise id have to talk at 3am and I think dad would whoop my ass into next hibernation

LostTheBraincell:

Cheese cheese I’ll distract them you run

Look guys

[Video recording]

Mikey is giggling as he flips the camera so that it reveals Raph is sitting on a couch with a bunch of chopsticks in his mouth. Mikey is giggling, standing behind the couch as he sticks another one in, so cramped that it takes a while to slide into place.

Rafa chuckles behind all the chopsticks, giving Angelo the turtle equivalent of the middle finger with a smug grin. He tries to say something but Mikey can only understand it.

“204, dude. You’re not gonna beat my record. You’re not even close.” Angelo grins mischievously.

[Video ends]

HasTheBraincell:

I left you two alone for literally a minute and a half

WantsTheBraincell:

That wasn’t a good distraction

Cheese:

i think im going to start a kahoot

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You haven’t even told us who you are

Cheese:

thats the point of the kahoot

Also I don’t know who you are

i guess this is stranger danger? Should istop talking to you?

f*ck:

@LostTheBraincell what the f*ck is that

And who tf is this gremlin

No more PLEASE

Leonardo:

What is a kahoot

LittleMike:

And why does it sound so delicious

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Tell me, Michelangelos, were you ever going to tell us about this stowaway that has apparently been lurking in your chat for two weeks

Cheese:

wait yall don’t know what a kahoot is

stoooop

HasTheBraincell:

If it is possible could we have a video stream of you @Cheese? Just for security reasons

And, can I ask if you have any alternate brothers?

Cheese:

dude it is 3am you know how much im putting on the line here

and ye I have alternate versions of all of you too I think if you are all Donnies and Raphs and Leos

honestly i thought the reception would be better i dont feel this welcome wagon guys

~MagicMike~:

@Bootyyyshaker9000 you never technically asked us directly if we had an alternate version of us hiding in our chat room

Leonardo:

I don’t think that’s a common enough question?

WantsTheBraincell:

Why can’t this chat stay on topic for more than a second

LostTheBraincell:

Shut the f*ck up mr “let’s talk about katana upkeep for three and a half hours in the main chat with other BORING versions of myself and refuse to leave”

WantsTheBraincell:

That’s interesting and off topic

Proving my point that you are a pest

LostTheBraincell:

*sticks out tongue*

WantsTheBraincell:

This is why you lost the braincell

Donatello:

Oh sweet shell what did I miss here?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

A stowaway

Cheese:

damn I felt the chills reading that

ur very good

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Why thank you

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Don’t make his forehead grow more

HasTheBraincell:

@Cheese video call? Otherwise we might have to kick you

~~Electro~~:

We’ve seen his face don’t kick the great cheese!!1!!1

CaptainLeo:

Wait who is this

Cheese:

Hey, I’m Michel Angelo!

CaptainLeo:

HasTheBraincell:

Cheese:

in a midlife crisis

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: Donny with his head in his hands. In the background, you can see Rafa sprawled out on the floor, covered in chopsticks.]

You broke him

Cheese:

[Livestream recording]

[For a moment it is just a dark room, until Michel pokes his head halfway into frame. A second later, he moves out of frame completely, only to pop back in on another side. He does this a few more times before giggling.]

WantsTheBraincell:

What happened to Rafa

LostTheBraincell:

Don’t worry about it

Donatello:

Yep, that’s a Michelangelo all right!

f*ck:

wheres alternate me

Red:

Hello new Mikey!

Cheese:

[Michel suddenly pops back into frame, zoomed very close to his camera. He smiles widely.

“Hey Red! Probably the best greeting I’ve had after I was bullied for stopping social injustice for real.” He pauses, reading the messages. “Yes, I’ve seen all the PSAs I know bullying when I see it.”

WantsTheBraincell:

That wasn’t bullying

~~Electro~~:

Omg called out

Leonardo:

Well I wasn’t expecting this quite yet, but it’s always a welcome surprise

Raphael:

I really don’t know how everyone is going to fit into one chapter at this rate

I_Crave_Chemcials:

Congratulations, Cheese, you have the all clear

Mikey, on the other hand

~~Electro~~:

I forgot to tell you?

f*ck:

Someone play really loud music to wake his brothers up

WantsTheBraincell:

Ok who just started a petition to kick me off the chat

Donatello:

I think adding the poll feature was a bad idea

LostTheBraincell:

No no it is the best thing on here

f*ck:

always happy to start a riot against a Leo

~~Electro~~:

[Voice note: “I Am (All Of Me)” from Shadow The Hedgehog starts playing as loud as possible]

I AM

Cheese:

[Michel jumps when the music starts blasting, and then starts muttering “shoot shoot shoot” over and over as he tries to shut it off. Eventually he gives up and starts making a strange static sound with his throat.

“I’m making quiet noises!” He hisses when he looks down at the messages before continuing.

“What the heck?” Someone says from next to him sleepily. There’s a yelp, and a faint silhouette of someone else falling out of their bed in a scramble of sheets.

“WHO AM I STABBING?” A final voice screams. A sai flies through the air and embeds itself into the ground.

As the noise continues, loud squabbling erupts from all of the siblings in the room.

“Mikey, what the heck is that, it’s like 3am –“

“Um a YouTube advert?”

“What kind of YouTube advert –“

“Is everyone okay? Should we be panicking? Is –“

“Where’s my sai?! I’m going to stab it right through that phone if you don’t –“

“Why do you sleep with your sai man, I think you have a problem –“

“Mikey are you starting your Emo phase now or?”

“Wait is that discord? Why do you have discord and joined a server without us? Do you know the amount of fat middle aged sad men –“

“No, come on, gross –“

“You’re face is gross –“

“Turn it off!”

“That’s it, I’m smashing it –“

There’s suddenly a blur of green and the livestream cuts off]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

what did u just DO

~~Electro~~:

Too much

LostTheBraincell:

I AM ALL OF ME

HasTheBraincell:

@Cheese?

~MagicMike~:

I think he’s dead

Raphael:

Wanna bet who was the Leo there?

f*ck:

What, the one that was squarkin like a big mama bird??? Naaaah

CaptainLeo:

I am not a mother hen

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Denial

~~Electro~~:

Denial is a river in egipt –

Donatello:

*Egypt

CaptainLeo:

I’m sick of this debate

Raphael:

At least our Leo somewhat admits it

But only in rare circ*mstances

Leonardo:

I do not mother you! I just need to check you’re okay every hour or so, just to make sure nothing is wrong!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blorb

Wild ur raph isnt mothr hen

LittleMike:

(Oh he most definitely is amigo)

Donatello:

Those two are a force to be reckoned with

Raphael:

Yeah yeah say what you want but I don’t believe you

Red:

I don’t think I’m that bad

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Speaking of bets, I believe the one who stabbed (?) the phone and tried to attack basically every though could be a Raph

LostTheBraincell:

Could be?

~~Electro~~:

I dunno donnie can be feral

Red:

Raph agrees with that

Purple bites

I_Crave_Chemicals:

An enthusiasm for science does not correlate to feral behaviour

Leonardo:

I’m not sure, I’ve seen @LostTheBraincell and still believe he’s somewhat rabid

LostTheBraincell:

Omg thanks <3

CaptainLeo:

Donnie I saw you whispering to a canister of uranium today

Shut it

Cheese:

Hdgajsiso dhehiaowoww

Dn

meeg

~~Electro~~:

meeg

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck

Donatello:

He’s trying to make contact

CaptainLeo:

Is music playing downstairs right now?

Wrong chat

Question still stands

HasTheBraincell:

@Red purple bites?

Is that because of his soft shell DNA

Red:

Probably

But also it is probably purple being a stroppy middle child

~MagicMike~:

Damn I heard that hiss from the kitchen

LostTheBraincell:

I don’t think I could imagine Don being the feral flavoured turtle like ever

I mean he does some slightly impulsive things

HasTheBraincell:

I told you I panicked

WantsTheBraincell:

Angelo you’re just a bad influence

There’s a reason there’s a ban on you being together alone with him

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: Purple is biting down on Red’s arm. Red doesn’t seem to be in pain or surprised, only giving the camera an unimpressed look whilst his arm is hovering in the air, so Purple is dangling rather than on the ground.]

Feral teetle

LittleMike:

RED YOURE HUMONGOUS

SUPER RADICAL

Cheese:

so

they found out

~~Electro~~:

Ur alive!

Cheese:

Trade offer

I_Crave_Chemicals:

AteTheBraincell:

Wait wait wait is Mike in the isolation chamber again

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Yes

So is my Raph

Leonardo:

It’s very strange seeing a Michelangelo so different from mine

I mean

[Photo ID: a picture of Michelangelo, clearly sitting next to Leonardo in the picture, sticking out his tongue as he is threading what looks like loom bands (multicoloured small rubber bands) together in a bracelet. There are several all around him, and at least ten up his arms already in various colour schemes.]

Someone gave him these loom band things? He hasn’t stopped all day!

~MagicMike~:

You’re welcome!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Actually dying

I need to collect him

AteTheBraincell:

What did I miss @I_Crave_Chemicals I gotta know

For blackmail

WantsTheBraincell:

He and Raph managed to break the server by playing multiple streams of the national anthem but on a kazoo

I left soon after that

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Raph then took my phone and changed the admin commands

So I’m sorry that there are now 2067 petitions asking to turn all Leos into a wet flannel

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I signed all of them

@~MagicMike~ I have a 20 page document that you should read on that

Cheese:

I actually think the kazoo anthem sounded lovely

Bread:

Ur tone deaf man

U dont count

Cheese:

Shut up bread

Egg:

Yogurt?

Raphael:

Are we in a time loop

Why the yogurt

Bread:

He’s sulking because we ran out of his favourite yogurt

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: Angelo is hanging from the ceiling on a rope, his face inches from Don’s, who is looking down at his phone as if Angelo isn’t there.]

He wants attention

AteTheBraincell:

Currently signing all the wet flannel polls

Bacon:

Personally id say Leo is more of a cold chicken nugget

Bread:

What does that even mean

Bootyyyclapper9000:

K who tf calling me a cold chicken nugget imma beat ur ass

Bacon:

U CAN TRY

U WANNA GO

~~Electro~~:

Bootyyyclapper9000:

WantsTheBraincell:

Cheese:

Egg:

Ok like who is not letting me have admin commands square up square up

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I took them off you, you are a child who likes k-pop and insulted me

Admin revoked

Donatello:

I am mildly curious about how much this new dimension likes fighting people

Cheese:

Bacon:

@Bootyyyclapper9000 to make it a fair fight I will chop off my own arm and prove I can still mollywhop you back to pre mutation

FIGHT ME

Egg:

@Bootyyyshaker9000

Oh you did not just imply that k-pop was bad

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Red:

Leonardo:

Raphael:

AteTheBraincell:

Please fight a child

HasTheBraincell:

Ok these polls were a mistake, I’m stopping them

~~Electro~~:

NO

ACTUALLY BUZZKILL

~MagicMike~:

These polls are a work of art I’ll have you know

HasTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of the admin screen, with over 100 notifications just on polls people have started. The most recent one is “kicking a child: educational or traumatising?”. You can see the start of another one behind it which just reads “okay but cold chicken nuggets???”]

I am way too underpaid to deal with this

~~Electro~~:

You cannot silence the important questions

Egg:

i hope you know i made a bot for the turtle petting zoo one, it now has over 10,000 votes in favour, ur welcome

Bacon:

Nerd emoji fr

Cheese:

Cheese:

Bootyyyshaker9000:

AteTheBraincell:

HasTheBraincell:

Last week you had a tea party with that girl until her mom picked her up

AteTheBraincell:

I’m going to shove a candle down your throat

Egg:

@Bacon can u do this

Bacon:

I’m going to bite you

HasTheBraincell:

Why are you all on permanent fighting settings

Donatello:

Is there a switch?

HasTheBraincell:

We should actually ask some basic questions though, like pictures and ages

Standard procedure stuff

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Good idea! We have our versions pinned already

Bread:

Ok that sounds like a good idea! This whole concept is still so wild man

I am literally living in a sci fi movie right now it’s so awesome

Raphael:

What, was being a giant mutated turtle not enough?

Egg:

Is sarcasm your only personality?

Raphael:

It’s certainly the most marketable, squirt

My action figures look a lot better than yours buddy

Leonardo:

Ignore him, he breaks the fourth wall when he’s insecure

LittleMike:

Wait more little dudes! Mondo cool!!!

[Photo ID: a picture of Michelangelo and Leonardo. Michelangelo is taking the picture, his other hand waving so fast it’s just a blur on the screen. Leonardo is also grinning with a long necklace made from the colourful bands Michelangelo is using hung around his neck. In the background, you can see Donatello casually walking past with his mask on fire, sipping on coffee.]

This is us saying hi <3

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: the picture is purposefully trying to mimic the one that Michelangelo just sent, but it’s much more chaotic. Blue is grinning at the camera, his phone on a selfie stick that has been taped to the stub of his arm. Orange is next to him, but instead of smiling at the camera he is holding a fire extinguisher out and is about to use it on Purple, who’s mask is on fire along with his goggles. Purple seems uncaring of this fact, glaring at Blue as he sips on a coffee mug at least five times the size of a regular coffee mug.]

Omg family times

WantsTheBraincell:

Is Purple going to have a heart attack

Cheese:

Omg slay

Egg:

@Bread im getting the picture u only have really bad ones

~~Electro~~:

Good to know a Leo is sh*t at technology whatever multiverse

Cheese:

AteTheBraincell:

Wtf happened to you all

Cheese:

Eh we fought a Godzilla rip off and I got milked

HasTheBraincell:

Milked??

~~Electro~~:

Run that back real quick??

~MagicMike~:

I don’t think any version of us gets a break

That’s depressing

Leonardo:

Are you guys all ok?? We can send a few things over with the multiverse mail if you want!

~~Electro~~:

*whispers* mama leo strikes

~MagicMike~:

*nods, nods*

Egg:

Ay yo u got a mama leo too???

Get rekt leo lol

Bread:

You guys overreact

WantsTheBraincell:

It’s better to just accept it at this point

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: A picture of Angelo perched on the armrest of a worn sofa. He is staring directly at Leo, a few inches from his face. Leo is reading a book, a slightly amused smile curling at his beak]

Look at this attention seeking rat

He wants back in the chat

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Look, a minute ago he tried to argue his case by burping the alphabet

He lost

Egg:

[Photo ID: Donnie, Leo, Mikey and Raph all gathered around their splinter in a family photo, grinning at the camera. Mikey is pulling a funny face, and Raph is stabbing his sais into the air.]

Thats from like a year ago

~~Electro~~:

Omg imagine still having a dad

CaptainLeo:

Mikey stop

~~Electro~~:

I deserve the dead dad joke pass

HasTheBraincell:

Can we steer away from the topic, thanks

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Segway, was your dad human at any point?

Bread:

No?

Bacon:

He’s just a random rat

AteTheBraincell:

Finally, another point to the rat origins

Cheese:

Gotta fill me in on the tea man

~~Electro~~:

JUST A RAT

LIKE LITERALLY

NOTHING TO DO WITH YOSHI??

Not ringing a bell???

Egg:

Nah just a rat??? What do u want him to be

Donatello:

Basically most of our Splinters were humans who got mutated into rats, unless you were universe 2003 and now you!

Very curious

~~Electro~~:

He was just a random rat

HasTheBraincell:

Huh, haven’t heard that one before

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Update: I made a child cry on roblox

Red:

DONNIE

Egg:

Wait human????

Lolololol

Well uh

Bread:

Yeah our dad kindahateshumansbecausetheyaredemonscumoftheearth

Raphael:

Cheese:

Egg:

Cheese:

~MagicMike~:

Raphael:

Leonardo:

Red:

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Like u don’t store alll of oranges drawings in your skakagwiqqooanvccs hdjsq

Egg:

Damn dude got sniped

Donatello:

[Video Recording:

Donatello is chuckling lightly as he zooms in on Raphael, who is making a sandwich. He doesn’t notice Michelangelo running forward, covered in brackets and necklaces, with his hands full of a bunch of red themed ones. He stops in from of Raphael, who looks up.

“Here you go! I made you a bunch because I wanted you to like, feel totally hyped! Do you like them? I tried to get your colours down, dude, because I know red is totally your thing!”

Raphael blinks owlishly as at least 20 bracelets are dumped into his hands. He looks up again, trying to sound nonchalant when he says:

“Yeah, I think they’re great! Thanks!”

Michelangelo beams, turning around and running back to his messy workspace. Raphael states back down at the gifts, a hand over his heart with a soft smile.

[Video Ends]

Rare footage of Raphael being a softie

Bootyyyclapper9000:

ADOPT ADOPT ADOPT

I_Crave_Chemicals:

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph, who currently has Mikey in a headlock and trying to force his head into a grimy sewer puddle]

Chapter Text

>> VIDEO CHAT - The Therapy Corner We Need But Refuse To Use <<

[Voice chat loading]

[Connection secured]

[Loading participants]

Two screens flicker to life: the first revealing Orange in a sweater and circular glasses, and the other revealing a live feed of the 2012 lair, with Donnie fiddling with the controls.

Orange coughs, shuffling a stack of papers and pulling out a remote that he points off screen. A second later, a PowerPoint with the title “HOW TO FIX THE BONDS IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS: A GUIDE ON EXPRESSING FEELINGS AND SUPPORTING YOUR BROTHERS” lights up.

“What the…?” Donnie moves away from his screen, revealing that Leo and Raph are strapped to chairs facing the camera. Mikey stands to a corner, oddly unsure but determined. Leo mumbles as he awakes, tugging the ropes around his wrists. “Donnie? Why –“

Hello, and welcome to your first therapy session with Dr Feelings!” Orange chimes, drawing attention to him. “This week we are starting small, as you can see by the 103 slides –“

“Therapy?” Leo wriggles more in his chair, giving a nervous smile. “I don’t think that’s –“

Do not interrupt my seminar unless you want to face Dr Delicate Touch, young man.” Orange snaps with a sharp smile. A moment later her coughs, and composes himself again. “Anyway, this week’s theme is: talk it out.”

“Talk…” Leo turns to Donnie, then spots Mikey hanging back shyly in the background. Raph begins to wake, blearily looking at the screen. “Donnie? Mikey? Did you…?”

“It’s…it’s been a long time coming, bro.” Mikey says, stepping forward. “We gotta fix a few things.”

“Wha…” Raph mouths the title of the presentation, eyes widening. “No – LET ME OUT!” He begins to yell curses as he rocks in his chair, but the ropes hold him fast.

Donnie watches him for a second, unamused, before turning back to Orange.

“Me and Mikey helped organise this session after we got talking about our own issues in my lab.” The genius sighs, looking back at Leo and Raph. “I personally don’t want to see us keep moving apart like this, not anymore.”

“And that’s where I come in!” Orange, or Dr Feelings, says. “I will be your personal therapist –“

“You are literally a child, what the f*ck –“ Raph says before slamming his head on the back of the chair. Orange huffs.

“Then why am I the more mature one here, please explain, short Raphael.”

“You son of a –“

“Are we really…” Leo’s eyes are downcast, but look up at Mikey as if seeing him for the first time. “Mikey, I –“

“Let’s begin.” Orange cuts in smoothly. Raph swears, very loudly.

>>Meenage Mutant Ninja Teetles <<

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I must inform everyone, for their own safety, that a therapy session is in progress and so it must not be interrupted or else suffer in severe pain.

WantsTheBraincell:

Excuse me?

LostTheBraincell:

A therapy session without all the Leonardos?

Fake

Cheese:

Proof

Bacon:

@Bread thats u in a week

HasTheBraincell:

Don’t think that’s how growth spurts work

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: the photo seems to be taken a second after the first one Angelo sent. Leo is mid kicking Angelo to the ground, snatching the candy floss from his hand as he does so. You can see Don in the background carrying an entire pony figure from a carousel]

Cheese:

AteTheBraincell:

He got a concussion and we had to head back early

HasTheBraincell:

I never got to try and dismantle the claw machine

Leonardo:

Raphael:

It only takes that “some” to do permanent damage though

You need to be careful

Cheese:

Donatello:

Bacon:

Egg:

Cheese:

HasTheBraincell:

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I_Crave_Chemicals:

AteTheBraincell:

LittleMike:

Leonardo:

There’s no way any stupid presentation is going to persuade me

Egg:

*queue kitchen nightmares sound effect*

LostTheBraincell:

You are going to regret those words

HasTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording]

[The camera focuses in on an old looking whiteboard with pieces of paper placed onto it. The paper looks old, like it was created a few years ago. Beside the whiteboard, Don is holding his bō staff like a pointer at the first sheet of paper. His brothers are all lined up next to him, stood straight and deadly serious.

“Remember what we discussed in rehearsal.” Leo murmurs softly before Don clears his throat, beginning to speak.

“Hello, today myself, my brothers and Mikey will be informing the uneducated on why Star Trek is the best science fiction franchise, especially compared to that of “Star Wars.” We will discuss why you are wrong for twenty minutes, then stop for any questions.” Donny nods, and Mikey, with a flourish, flips over the first sheet of paper to reveal the second one underneath. It has a picture of the Star Trek original series poster, clearly crayoned in some places by younger hands. He begins to discuss the characters in detail.]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Well this is educational, not going to lie

Raphael:

Leonardo eat your heart out, my buddy

LittleMike:

Should we fight back with our own presentation? Is that a thing?

Bread:

Ok ok

Liking it so far

Bacon:

Bro really listenin to a talk on a super old tv show like

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Im wheezing sksksk

Leonardo:

Oh come on, none of this is true

HasTheBraincell:

[The live stream continues.

After discussing his section, Don takes a step back and hands the staff to Leo.

“And now Leonardo would like to go through a plot breakdown of all classic episodes, and how they easily surpass the weak structure of Star Wars.” He says.]

Raphael:

This is really happening isn’t it

Donatello:

I think I can whip up a machine to make a counter presentation in time

It can have lazers!

LittleMike:

I’ll get the glitter amigo

You always need glitter

Cheese:

I respect that statement

I do love glitter

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Im seeing no jupitr Jim rep

Sobbing

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Trying to bond as a family here

And this is going on

Raphael:

Don’t scroll up it was worse than this an hour ago

Bacon:

@Cheese u eat glitter

Cheese:

I like to scran a good bottle of glitter for breakfast ngl

Raphael:

How are you not dead

Egg:

Every Leo @ us

Leonardo:

This is ridiculous!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Hush all of you

Bacon:

Nerds over here really be silencing us

LittleMike:

@I_Crave_Chemicals family bonding? Does that mean it all worked out for you bros?

I hope so, I didn’t like seeing you all so mondo upset it got me down too

HasTheBraincell:

[Leo finishes talking. Don steps forward again, gesturing to Rafa.

“And now, Raphael’s piece: ‘why Star Wars sucks’” he announces. Angelo enthusiastically flips the sheet of paper back to reveal a picture of the Millennium Falcon underneath, with red crayon squiggles all over it. Rafa steps forward, cracking his knuckles.

“See that? See that sh*t?!” He points angrily to the picture. “That sh*t got nothin’ on the Enterprise. Look at it. It’s dumb. It’s sh*t, it looks like it belongs in a reduced Walmart section, or a bad tourist trap, it’s got these stupid little…things! Dumbest design ever, piece of sh*t.” He kicks the picture. “Spit on it, boys!”

On queue, the four turtles start spitting on the picture multiple times. Raph kicks it again, and Angelo is flipping it off.]

Leonardo:

Come on, that’s not even an argument

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Wait, let them speak

LittleMike:

How much macaroni will I need to make a macaroni necklace for the Statue of Liberty

Like theoretically if I felt bored

And wanted to give her a superbuloso makeover

Bacon:

Mmm macaroni

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I don’t think I would have used “spit on it” as an argument personally

Bacon:

EAT THE PAPER

EAT IT

CRUNCH

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Paper doesn’t crunch

Bacon:

Um actually –

Bootyyyclapper9000:

EAT IT

EAT IT

This is wild wtf

Omg hes eating jt

OMG

Bacon:

YEAAH

Leonardo:

This is outrageous

Donatello:

Give me a few more minutes and me and Michelangelo have the greatest presentation ever!

It’s not exactly about Star Wars but it looks cool!

LittleMike:

TOTALLY rad

Raphael:

Uh huh

What percentage is “not exactly” Donatello?

Egg:

ew stop using full names

Raphael:

Ew stop existing

Cheese:

naaah u cant say that

Raphael:

Try and stop me

I dare you

I_Crave_Chemicals:

No more fights in the main chat

We now have a “verbal beat-downs” chat for that after @Egg decided to take us all on at once

Egg:

i wouldve won if u werent cowards

Donatello:

Um 97%???

In my defence, we got distracted in designing macaroni necklaces for historical landmarks

And then Michelangelo wanted to add some interpretive dance to the middle segment so then we had to do a session on interpretive dance, of course! And then I wanted to add a bit about how we could make a macaroni growth amplifier to potentially genetically engineered giant macaroni for the landmarks –

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Good to know that the pb&j duo cant be left in a rooom togethr in any multiverse lol

LittleMike:

I did some radical art!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I do not like that implication

Red:

Purple you literally are banned from being alone with orange

You decided to go and create a dog theme park last time you were together alone for more than an hour

Leonardo:

Im not listening to this anymore

Egg:

He’s totally still watching

Cheese:

[Photo ID: a zoomed in photo of popcorn]

mmmmmmm corn

Bacon:

U said we didnt have popcorn ??

Bread:

Betrayal man

Thought u were better than this

HasTheBraincell:

[Angelo, picking up the whiteboard, flips over the last piece of paper to reveal, in large letters, writing that says “any questions?”.

Don claps his hands, businesslike.

“So – any questions?”]

[Live stream ends]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Was angelo’s only role turning the paper to the next page?

WantsTheBraincell:

He lost his segment after he kept forgetting to show up for rehearsal

AteTheBraincell:

@Bootyyyclapper9000 yea, Don and Mike are not allowed to be alone under any circ*mstances for more than an hour

Red:

Strange

I have to split up purple and blue like that

10 minutes and its over

Leonardo:

I can’t believe you

WantsTheBraincell:

You better

LostTheBraincell:

I like flipping the paper

I did a very good job

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Enthusiastic applause

I would like to see a version of this that takes in the blockbuster movies as an argument

CaptainLeo:

Oh 100% Mikey and Donnie can’t be left alone for long

They’re both very um

Raphael:

Yeah that’s a good way to put it

Egg:

i feel attacked by this donnie slander bros

Raphael:

Deserved

Anyway

[Photo ID: Leonardo, pouting as he has rolled himself into a blanket]

Pouting

LostTheBraincell:

We won, boys

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Ok who just sent a plastic baby to me through the multiverse mail

WHO

>> i dunno red turtles i guess i’m not very creative<<

[Video call]

There are two large screens taking up most of the room in live stream mode. One of them is 2023 Raph (Ra) and the other is 1987 Raph (Raphael). The other Raphs are lined up on smaller cameras at the bottom of the screen, excluding 2003 Raph, cheering them both on.

“I’m going to break both your knee caps, you’re gonna wish you never tried to fight me!” Ra yells, cracking his neck and getting ready to charge at the screen. Raphael grins, taking a defensive stance.

“You couldn’t even knock me over I bet!” He says back. “Come at me!”

Ra screams, charging at the camera and smashing into the screen. The other Raphaels are cheering with more gusto, until Don (2003), using Rafa’s camera, enters the call. He has a stern glare on his face, sitting with a knee folded over his other leg and arms crossed.

The other Raphs scream and yell in panic at getting caught in a “banned” activity, all exiting the call.

[Video call ends]

>>Meenage Tutant Karate Teetles<<

HasTheBraincell:

Care to explain?

f*ck:

No

Bacon:

Who ratted us out

AteTheBraincell:

He snuck in the weasel

No snitching here

WantsTheBraincell:

What happened this time

HasTheBraincell:

They tried to do virtual wrestling again

It wasn’t wresting

It was just

Bootyyyclapper9000:

f*ck:

Fun sponge

Raphael:

Bacon:

Boooooo

HasTheBraincell:

Your words won’t stop me

I’m giving you all a very disappointed glare

AteTheBraincell:

Goddammit not the look

Don come on

Stop it

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: Raph is pointedly looking away from Don, who is giving him the most “look how much you disappoint me” look.]

Bacon:

Damn

Egg:

Giving me chills from here

Leonardo:

Raphael

Raphael:

Leonardo

Bacon:

i was totally gonna nerf ur ass

~~Electro~~:

Holy f*ck what did I miss

Yo you had height debates without us???

Raphael:

Look I love that you’re out of therapy but there are more important matters

Like pride

I will not be threatened by a preteen on steroids

LostTheBraincell:

@Red @Bootyyyclapper9000 @Bootyyyshaker9000

Can you check up on Orange asap pls

Somethings up

He’s in a call with us but he’s gone all vacant and shaking?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Oh no

Responsive?

Leonardo:

Is he okay??

WantsTheBraincell:

What’s going on?

LostTheBraincell:

No

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@Bootyyyshaker9000 @Red got him

LittleMike:

Is he okay?

Why did you end the call?

Is my little Amigo good?

HasTheBraincell:

It seems like they’re a little preoccupied

Egg:

Wait damn im catching up

Wtf

WantsTheBraincell:

They may be busy for a while. I advice to give them time to respond and try and move on until then?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

It sounds like a seizure to me, judging from when Leo was in a coma

But that doesn’t make too much sense?

Cheese:

Yeah he went real still but not? His arms were glowing?

AteTheBraincell:

Magic bullsh*t?

HasTheBraincell:

We can’t speculate, we should just wait for a response

Raphael:

Talk about a tone change

@LittleMike you alright?

f*ck:

I don’t like waiting

CaptainLeo:

Oh no, poor orange

Egg:

Wait u had seizures @CaptainLeo???

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Not the best times, but yes he did

He had bad head injuries

CaptainLeo:

I was actually in a coma for all of it if that makes it better?

~~Electro~~:

There’s no way we’re having a seizure bonding session right now

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am only on here to explain because Red told me to but Orange is okay now.

Since the events that we really don’t speak of a year ago he gets these overload/feedback loops from using his mystic powers too quickly without a conduct, which result in seizures and shaking limbs after he tires himself out too much.

They’re manageable, and he is now okay.

Rest assured, he’s getting a lecture on pushing himself (again, sigh).

LostTheBraincell:

Ooooh good

Well not good

But he’s okay!

Well not okay

But better?

Leonardo:

Make sure he gets rest!

WantsTheBraincell:

Trust me, it takes at least 100 lectures to stick, isn’t that right Don?

But I’m glad he’s recovered

Egg:

Owch

Cheese:

Major bummer hes gotta deal with that

but hes cool right?

Red:

He’s burritoed and gently grounded

Bacon:

Okay but

MYSTIC??? POWERS???

Bread:

Did u just not tell us??

~~Electro~~:

Oops?

[Loading participants]

[All users, apart from Angelo (2003), Blue and Purple (2018) only have their microphones on. Purple is streaming himself playing some kind of shooter game and Angelo is lounging with Rafa leaning against him, head buried in his arms and blanket thrown over his shoulders. Angelo is strumming a guitar lightly to a small tune. Blue is seemingly practicing a variety of one-armed tasks with Angelo encouraging him.]

LostTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording]

“Yeah, I learnt the hard way that you need something quite thick to cover the nub. It’s like stubbing a toe on a rooftop.” Angelo shudders dramatically. Notably, he is keeping his voice down, occasionally glancing at Rafa with a mixture of fondness and concern.

Leonardo:

You can hear some low murmurs of conversation, and a small laugh in the background.

“Please don’t say nub. It feels kinda eiiuugh to say and I don’t know why.”

Bread:

“What was that sound that you just made what the hell??”

~~Electro~~:

“Does that count as ableism?”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Why does it always circle back to ableism?”

~~Electro~~:

“I dunno, society I guess.”

Egg:

“We live in a society –“

f*ck:

“Actually shut the f*ck up.”

Egg:

Donnie gasps, overdramatic.

“You did not just swear at a minor, I gotta tweet about this for real –“

Bread:

“No, we can’t keep cancelling people –“

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo grins, strumming the guitar a little louder when Rafa begins to uncurl a little next to him.

“Can you cancel me?” He asks. He turns his attention to Rafa, who grunts when he shifts. Quietly, he asks him:

“You good, bro? Want me to be quieter?”

Rafa mutters something back, briefly peering up to look at his brother. His fists flex a few times, and he shakes his head before leaning against Angelo’s shell again.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue is sticking out his tongue as he draws something out on the paper in front of him. His hand is obviously inexperienced and shaky, but he looks proud as he’s doing it. The paper slips a little under his hand.

“Please, everyone tries to cancel me, they’re just jealous of my –“

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Purple gags, and then wordlessly places some shades on his face as he leans forward in his seat, fingers quickly spamming the controller buttons.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Yeah, as much as I want to believe you, I somehow doubt it.”

~~Electro~~:

“Ableist.”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“No –“

f*ck:

“I don’t give a sh*t you’re a kid, it just makes you an easier target to kick.”

There’s a thud, like Raph just punched a wall as he said the words.

Egg:

“I’ll bite off your knees, I dare you –“

Leonardo:

The voices are a little louder in the background. There is a yelp and a crash, then Raphael’s voice comes very loud through the microphone.

“Oh please, someone kick this ugly child –“

Egg:

“I could take you all down, ya’ll fake as hell –“

In the background, you can hear a quiet “oooooh he did not!” from Micheal.

~~Electro~~:

Mikey starts making quiet cat noises to himself, not paying attention to the subject of conversation.

f*ck:

A lot of rustling, and the sound of Raph rising quick enough for his chair to hit the floor.

Do you want to know how many children I’ve kicked? You’re nothing, I won’t even know –“

Leonardo:

“No, you can’t just – you have your own – hey! No fair, I’m telling Master Splinter!”

“What, you’re gonna snitch? Teachers pet!”

“Raphael!”

>@Bacon has entered the call<

Bacon:

His voice is very loud, and he’s so close to the mic you can hear his breathing.

“I hear fighting and want in, please I crave it –“

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo smiles as Rafa shifts, poking his head out of the blankets.

“Tell the kid he’s got issues.” He mumbles. “And turn it down a little. Loud. Lots. f*ck. Yeah.”

Angelo leans over to turn down the volume, placing down his guitar as he does so. He accidentally hits the nub of his arm (which doesn’t have its metal covering, showing the scarring stretching across the scales and skin) and lets out an almost comical yelp and curse. Rafa looks up immediately in panic but Angelo waves him off.

“I stubbed my arm toe, it’s all good!” He hisses at the arm, as if it’s personally attacked him. Rafa grumbles and rests against his side again.

“Anyway – what have you done so far, Blue?” Angelo asks.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue grins and holds up his piece of paper. It just has simple, elementary level drawings of dicks all over it, the lines progressively getting less shaky as they increase in number.

Bacon:

Bursts into laughter

Egg:

Bursts into laughter

~~Electro~~:

Bursts into laughter

f*ck:

“Probably the closest a Leo is gonna get to the real deal, let’s be honest.”

~~Electro~~:

Wheezes

Bread:

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Bacon:

Laughs harder.

“Dude, you gotta know that every other Leo on here is gay, right? Take the L!”

~~Electro~~:

Mikey is still wheezing. Something crashes.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue leans towards the screen.

“Wait, are you implying that I’m straight in a dimension?”

He fake gags.

>@LittleMike has entered the call<

LittleMike:

[Live stream recording]

Michelangelo is waving at the screen, very close up. After a moment he grabs Klunkers from the ground (at first struggling to spot the toy due to it being on his blind side) and makes his paw wave too.

“Hey dudes! Guess who it is?!”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue grabs his heart with his free hand and falls off his chair.

Bacon:

“Dude, your eye looks sick! I want one!”

Leonardo:

“This is my microphone, that’s why –“

“Yeah, but I want it, so hand it over, I’m a busy turtle.”

A sudden explosion sounds in the background, followed by a distant “oops.”

Egg:

“Why is the blorbo’s universe literally a cartoon I swear I can hear those goofy ass sound effects.”

Bread:

“Actually, I think –“

Egg:

Dude, your crush on April literally is impossible? Biggest L.”

f*ck:

“Wait wait WHAT?”

Leonardo:

Quieter, in the distance:

“Donatello what did you do –“

~~Electro~~:

“Dee –“ Mikey sings

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“I will flush your comic books down the toilet.”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue peaks over the table slowly, revealing his look of pure disgust and horror.

“Excuse me?”

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo continues to strum his guitar. Rafa seems to be uncurling from himself the longer he does it. Occasionally, as Angelo hums a melody, he joins in towards the end of the note.

At the sound of all the gagging coming from the call, Angelo laughs lightly.

“I think Blue’s mind is imploding, what should we do?”

LittleMike:

Michelangelo scrunches his beak, looking a little confused, but then he grabs something from his desk that catches his eye and shows it to the camera. It is a small mouse.

In the background you can hear lots of yelling and explosions, progressively getting louder. Michelangelo is unfazed.

“Oh! I did get a buddy today! I called him Bruce!”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Why does it sound like someone is storming the Beaches of Normandy behind you?”

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Purple, who has been becoming more animated with his movements over the last few minutes, suddenly yells in victory and presses a button. Immediately, several flame throwers burst to life, shooting flames at the ceiling, and strobe lights flash across the walls as heavy metal music plays for a few seconds.

“BASK IN THE LIGHT OF MY UNBEATABLE SKILL, YOU SIMPLE MINDED FOOL!” Purple yells, pressing the button rapidly. More flames shoot out. He turns to look at the camera, smug.

Leonardo:

Not the toaster!”

Egg:

“Why the heck do you have a mouse on your desk?”

~~Electro~~:

“You don’t?”

Egg:

“That’s some weird cult stuff for real.”

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo freezes and leans forward.

“There is no cult. What is a cult? Who knows. Not us.” He says. Rafa swats him lightly on the head, rousing himself a bit more. He watches the screen, eyes moving to Purple’s stream.

“What the f*ck?” He whispers.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue gives a long “awww” when Michelangelo speaks, his disgust apparently forgotten.

Bacon:

“Nah Leo, you got no rizz.”

Bread:

“I have rizz!” Leo argues, but his voice cracks part way through.

You can hear Raph laughing from the other room.

Bacon:

In a purposefully mocking voice:

I have rizz!”

~~Electro~~:

Mikey starts making cow noises, tuning out of the conversation again.

LittleMike:

Michelangelo beams, placing the mouse back down gently.

“You can’t tell my bros though, they’ll make me throw him out but I wanna make sure he’s all healthy before I toss the fella out to the streets.” He whispers, getting somehow closer to the camera. He suddenly spots Angelo’s guitar.

“Wait, you can play guitar? That’s mondo cool, I wish I could do that!”

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo laughs, nodding.

“It was weird learning how to do it one handed, I can’t do too much without this special thing my Don made me, but Raph just needed some soft background music for a bit and this always works.”

Egg:

“I hope you know I’m going to be very disappointed if you don’t have some robot arm things like in anime.”

f*ck:

“Nerd.”

Leonardo:

In the distance, a fire alarm goes off.

“We know there’s a fire, I’m staring right at it!” Raphael can be heard yelling.

>@HasTheBraincell has entered the call<

Bacon:

“For real, are those dudes dying?”

Bootyyyshaker9000:

The door slams open and a very tired Red can be seen glaring at Purple from the doorway. He has no headgear, clearly having just woken up, and is scowling as he stomps over. Purple hisses loudly when he’s suddenly plucked up by his older brother and dragged out of the door. His call cuts off.

[Live steam ends]

[Call ends]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue bursts into hysterical laughter, running out of his seat and poking his head through the doorway. After a pause, he runs back to grab his phone before showing the members of the call what is occurring.

“He’s getting air jail, I can’t believe this sh*t.” Leo crows in delight as the camera reveals a very angry Purple being held in the air by Red, unable to get down. In the corner, you can see Orange sleeping on a nest of blankets in the living room, limbs partially in his shell. It looks like Red has been beside him before collecting Purple, as there is a large indentation in the blanket mound next to him.

LostTheBraincell:

“I kinda want to be put in air jail.” Angelo says, grinning at the scene. Rafa rolls his eyes (his face bare of his mask and white eyelids pulled back, so his pupils are visible).

“Don’t tempt me. Leo’s still pissed that you sent that baby through the multiverse mail.”

Angelo huffs, placing a hand over his chest.

“It was a gift.”

Rafa scoffs.

Leonardo:

You can hear more raised voices, and something smashing. The fire alarm cuts off.

“It’s got a little delay, hasn’t it?” Raphael can be heard remarking casually. There’s another yell as something else crashes.

“Good going, Donatello.”

Egg:

“My man got sniped, damn.”

~~Electro~~:

“I also nominate myself for air jail. But Raph is way too small to even try that – ow!”

There is a large thud and a crash.

HasTheBraincell:

“Why do these sessions always end with extreme violence?”

He sighs, but there is a chuckle to the end of his sentence.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“It hurts worse when you try and control it.”

f*ck:

“Cut the bullsh*t Dee you are literally genetically engineering co*ckroaches as you’re talking.”

>@Cheese has entered the call<

Cheese:

[Live stream]

Micheal rubs his hands, spinning in an office chair that looks like it’s about to fall apart.

“Am i late to improv?” He asks.

~~Electro~~:

“That’s tomorrow, dude, sorry.”

Cheese:

He blinks, then frowns.

“Damn, I really am tripping.”

Bread:

“You’re not funny enough for that yet, dude.”

Cheese:

Micheal gasps like he’s been physically stabbed. He jolts, going limp and lying back in his chair, apparently dead.

~~Electro~~:

“Father Micheal, he is bullying One Of Our Own!”

HasTheBraincell:

“Father what –“

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo grabs some small object from the side and throws it at the camera with a “boooo.”

“Just for that, I think we can start improv now, if Blue’s done with our weekly “I’ve got one arm just like my future self from an alternate timeline has because we’re built different and someone hates us” club?”

Rafa snorts with suppressed laughter, swatting Angelo over the head again. He gets up, stretching his arms before tapping Angelo’s thigh with his foot.

“Want any snacks?” He asks. Angelo grins.

“Aww, you love me!” He teases. Rafa scowls, tugging his mask as he leaves, but you can see a smile curved on his beak.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue makes a peace sign, and grabs his paper to show the camera again.

“I’m good! Look at these smooth lines, a true piece of artwork if I say so myself!”

Egg:

“Damn, Mikey’s really committing to the bit.”

Leonardo:

In the distance, you can hear someone say “well maybe we can fight fire with fire?”

LittleMike:

He looks behind him, more curious at the thing vapours of smoke coming through his door.

He then shrugs casually and turns back to the camera.

f*ck:

“Is he actually dead?”

Bread:

“He’s being dramatic.”

Cheese:

Micheal doesn’t move, still “dead.”

Egg:

“Why are we watching him in basic silence?”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Donnie sighs.

“My co*ckroaches are being created for high grade tasks, Raphael, it’s only slightly morally ambiguous and irrelevant to my point.”

Bacon:

“Excuse me, spy roaches?”

~~Electro~~:

“Yeah Dee likes to casually mess around with genetics and see what happens.”

HasTheBraincell:

“I think you just defined our very existence.”

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo laughs, throwing something else at the camera.

“Can you send me some of those bugs, pretty please? Just for –“ he begins to ask.

HasTheBraincell:

“No, don’t do it, I swear –“

There are muffled scraping noises, like Don is moving out of his chair quickly.

Egg:

“I think Mikey died.”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue is starting to tape a pencil to the nub of his arm, grinning.

Cheese:

(He’s still dead)

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo leans very close to the camera.

“Look, Donnie, alternate bro, I can give you…” Angelo pulls a 3DS into frame. “…one 3DS for one of those bugs, do we have a deal?”

Suddenly, he is cut off when Don tackles him out of frame.

LittleMike:

Michelangelo looks over at the growing smoke vapours, tilting his head when some of them are multiple colours.

“Huh. I wonder what science law Donatello broke this time.” He says as if he was remarking about something as casual as the weather: he picks up Bruce again, who is calmly sitting on his palm and nibbling the tip of his claw.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue, having finished taping a pencil to his arm, is now trying to make a chain of pencils taped to each other.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Honestly, I’d give you two for that.”

~~Electro~~:

Mikey begins humming “Africa” by Toto

Bacon :

“Why does that smoke look tasty?”

Leonardo:

“Oh dear.”

Another huge explosion, and the call is cut off.

[Call ends]

Egg:

Bursts into laughter

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“I wish I could break physics.”

f*ck:

“Please don’t ever say that again.”

Bread:

“Mikey? You alive man?”

Cheese:

Micheal slips off his chair.

Egg:

“Damn, he’s really committed here.”

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo is off screen, but you can hear Don scolding him.

“Firstly, that’s my 3DS. Secondly, you know what happened last time –“

“Come on, think of what an i hanged spy roach could do, Don! You know it would be sick…”

“…you make a good point…”

Egg:

“Donatello uprising confirmed.”

f*ck:

“Great.”

Egg:

“Insulted. Doxxing you.”

f*ck:

“I really wish I could kick you across a football field, you know that?”

~MagicMike~:

Your plan backfired blue I got allies

Also I WAS 5 YOU FOOL GODDAMMIT

I_Crave_Chemicals:

We did eat algae, yes, but not carcasses of dead animals

I see that box turtles do that, yes, but I personally am horrified thinking about it and would very much like to stop thank you very much

Cheese:

i mean i wouldnt say they were top tier

Bread:

We dont do it now we can actually yknow get food but we did it a lot when we were young

Dad didnt care

~~Electro~~:

Throwing up rn <3

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I suppose our dad was human, and we have human dna, so standards could be different

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@HasTheBraincell as a fellow dinosaur fan I strongly approve of your meal choice

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Nerd

LostTheBraincell:

LostTheBraincell:

@HasTheBraincell you’re 100% watching jurrasic park right?

HasTheBraincell:

With Raphie, yes of course

You can’t eat the dinosaur nuggets without Jurassic Park!

f*ck:

I feel offended on ur raphs behalf on being called raphie

WantsTheBraincell:

He doesn’t mind

With Don anyway

Angelo might get thrown into the ball pit

~MagicMike~:

You guys have a ball pit!!! Oh mi gosh @Bootyyyshaker9000

WantsTheBraincell:

It’s only temporary

We wanted to see whether we could make a massive one and throw Casey in it

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Every ball in the ball pit is going to be equipped with lasers and strobe lights

Red:

No to the lazers yes to the lights

Make it huge

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Go big or go home, as they like to say

Though I am disappointed in the lack of lazers I shall comply with the request for the moment

Cheese:

could we convince dad to have a massive ball pit???

Bacon:

Idk

mental health support ball pit???

Egg:

yeaaaahh no

Leonardo:

Michelangelo you can’t convince me after the mouse family you released into the vents

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@LostTheBraincell I got $2 and a shoe

how many babiews

CaptainLeo:

Wait where did your Donatello go @Leonardo

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Blue’s lying to you he doesn’t have $2

Bacon:

imma raise your bid with a life sized cardboard cutout of Chris Pine

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I don’t want to ask

Leonardo:

Donatello has been grounded by Splinter for that one so isn’t allowed any technology or in his lab

He is currently sulking

Raphael:

“Sulking” as in starting at me until I give him my phone, no chance

Egg:

L

LostTheBraincell:

You drive a hard bargain

~~Electro~~:

I have a pair of human underwear, three crayons, a bowl of ramen and shedded scute that has just fallen off my shell, beat that!

Raphael:

You guys are shedding right now? Owch

Cheese:

traumatising

HasTheBraincell:

Angelo please don’t accept that bid

Bacon:

Dude why do you have human underwear

HasTheBraincell:

Angelo

WantsTheBraincell:

I’m going to grab him he’s definitely going to accept that

~~Electro~~:

Emergencies, dude!

LittleMike:

I have emergency pizza but not underwear amigo, seems a little wacko

Bread:

It’s 2023 man we can’t judge

f*ck:

Shut the f*ck up I can judge him all I want

It’s f*cking gross

Bootyyyclapper9000:

yeah no im dropping out of the bid for that one

and @MagicMike u have 20 seconds before I portal u to medbayy

Bacon:

i can get some human underwear right now no sweat

Cheese:

bet u cant

Bread:

guys not again

LittleMike:

Is Orange okay? Don’t want a fellow Michelangelo compadre hurt

Egg:

wait is there an implication that leo is a medic I smell???

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Yes, Blue is the medic

f*ck:

Wait a Leo a medic

Bread:

guys dont

Bacon:

our leo literally passes out when he sees blood LOL

HasTheBraincell:

That’s curious, from what I can tell a Donatello usually holds the medical knowledge

Not a medic, I would say, but enough to keep everyone together

Bootyyyshaker9000:

After the Fainting of 2008 I did not pursue any medical experience. I know enough to get by, but Blue is a fully trained medic.

This was kind of ironic when he was too hurt to heal anyone after certain events last year, I assure you.

Bread:

i did not faint ur exaggerating

Cheese:

suuuuuuuuuuuurrrrreeeee

~MagicMike~:

m good @LittleMike got the all cleart from docc

~~Electro~~:

Leo definitely gets way to hurt to ever be medic

I_Crave_Chemicals:

True

f*ck:

True

CaptainLeo:

I don’t get hurt that much?

~~Electro~~:

*whispers* he’s in denial still

Egg:

@Bread dude you saw a paper cut and passed out over the dinner table into some pizza

LostTheBraincell:

Leo + getting his sh*t wrecked = universal constant

Bread:

This makes me very nervous about my future

Leonardo:

I seem to have dodged most things? But our shredder is just a mildly petty human

Egg:

Shredder??

LostTheBraincell:

*coughs*

Spoilers?

If he tries to get you to join him over some sword or something, don’t, isn’t that right Leo?

WantsTheBraincell:

You won’t let that go

LostTheBraincell:

Shredder senpai

HasTheBraincell:

My eyes

~~Electro~~:

You made me choke on my ramen

Now there are marshmallows all over the floor

Raphael:

Marshmallows? I much prefer peanut butter

~MagicMike~:

What is wrong with you all

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a zoomed in picture of Orange staring down at his phone, his face twisted into rage and disgust]

youve unleashed dr delicate touch

WantsTheBraincell:

No, we are not trying that

HasTheBraincell:

Science?

WantsTheBraincell:

Common sense, Don

This is why you aren’t allowed in the kitchen

LostTheBraincell:

As the only turtle allowed in the kitchen on their own I say yes

Red:

Im actually allergic to peanut butter?

other raphs arent?

Raphael:

Oh you are missing out

Egg:

F

WantsTheBraincell:

I’ll tell April

LostTheBraincell:

Snitch

Bacon:

i love me some pb & j

HasTheBraincell:

I have ran out of dinosaur nuggets

The movie isn’t finished

Raph won’t get some for me

LostTheBraincell:

If anyone but you touch them you flip

Im not risking that again

HasTheBraincell:

You tried to steal one

It was self defence!

CaptainLeo:

I am allergic to peanuts too

We can suffer together

~MagicMike~:

How can you possibly ruin food like that

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a picture of a ramen bowl, half eaten, with marshmallows, jam and Cheetos inside]

YUM

LittleMike:

That looks totally radical dude!!

~MagicMike~:

Imma beat your ass

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Trust me you get used to it after witnessing him make this stuff everyday

He got a little trigger happy when we had something that wasn’t worms and algae got the first time but just never stopped

Cheese:

my good turtle how are you still alive

Raphael:

Plot armour goes a long way, I’d invest whilst I can if I were you

Leonardo:

Michelangelo your mouse is currently trying to break into my room

LittleMike:

He wanted a walk!

LostTheBraincell:

@HasTheBraincell IT’S A NUGGET

Wait I’m sorry –

>@LostTheBraincell has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @HasTheBraincell for60 minutes<

HasTheBraincell:

Chapter Text

>> Council Of The Dons <<

HasTheBraincell:

Ok, may I ask who is sending me a chess play invite?

I always love a game of our 5D chess, don’t get me wrong! But it’s a name which I am not familiar with?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Probably Grape don’t look at me!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

No offence but if something happens that it lethal/strange it’s usually you.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Scoff!

I prefer the term “enthusiastic”

Egg:

dude i legit forgot about the nicknames and thought purple was blaming grapes fr

and no its not me

HasTheBraincell:

I can’t help but metaphorically cast my gaze over to Purple or Violet

Egg:

*cries in purple*

targeted much???

Bootyyyshaker9000:

It’s not hard to bully you

In all offence

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Purple why do you insist on making the child angry

Egg:

im 15?????

not a kid

also purple out here really targeting me when hes 100% like two years older

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am actually 17 you heathen

I am going to enjoy thrashing you in our next chess match

Donatello:

It’s not me!

I’ve been playing with the user for days however

HasTheBraincell:

Stranger danger?

Donatello:

No?

HasTheBraincell:

Am I the only logical Donatello here?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I would say I am pretty logical actually

HasTheBraincell:

Yesterday you spent three hours at 3am on a voice call by yourself talking about hacking the government and the ease you can get nuclear weapons and “blow this joint”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

And you started this whole multiverse thing, I believe?

HasTheBraincell:

It was an accident! I may have got only a little carried away –

Donatello:

I’m in a game with the user now actually!

Nice guy. We talk over the voice call Lilac added.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I must acquire more data

Egg:

hes only salty bc he was beat last week by him

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Says the kid who has never beaten me

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Both of your egos are constantly in battle I swear

Egg:

i take that as a compliment

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I did find the talk from Lilac interesting, very good points raised

As I always say, they wouldn’t have made it possible to hack if they didn’t want someone to poke around at their fancy weapons!

HasTheBraincell:

I would not trust you with a butter knife let alone a nuclear warhead

I_Crave_Chemicals:

(I feel like he’s directing that at all of us)

HasTheBraincell:

(I am)

Egg:

come on ur bro told me about the robot head incident

like what sane dude just rips off a guys head in panic

HasTheBraincell:

Stop quoting that without context!

But yes, I would like to know more about this mysterious chess master?

Egg:

Naaah changing the subject

Denial

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Can Grape share the voice call through here?

I would like to snoop very much I am very bored

Donatello:

Oh yeah, let me just do a little rewiring!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

What do you mean rewire

Egg:

dude you are are donnie you cant be bored

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Alas, my superior arm has been taken hostage by my dumb dumb twin

[Photo ID: Purple is taking a selfie with his hand held upwards so the camera is facing down on himself and a sleeping Blue. Blue does not have his mask or gear, so you can see his scarred arm and shattered plastron clearly with the angle he is sleeping at. His remaining arm and some of his body is draped over Purple’s shoulder, who is sat in a bean bag.]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

What happened to your bad boy image, huh?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Bites you

Hiss

Egg:

Y does he look like hes been run over by a four by four wtf

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Alien invasions can do that to you

Word of advice, don’t let your Leo near anything that could be interpreted as a window, including portals to hell dimensions

HasTheBraincell:

Good to see Blue finally getting some sleep! Angelo was worried about him.

But can we please get back on track of this unknown individual?

This is almost as bad as the Mikey chat

Egg:

we are the chaos

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I fully believe a single second spent in the Mikey chat is enough to destroy my brain cells

De-mutate me

Probably less painful

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Grape

Grape

@Donatello

HasTheBraincell:

You are not patient at all

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Time is relative

Donatello:

Attaching the call!

You won’t be able to join it or speak, but you can now hear it, have fun fellas!

[Voice Call Transferred Using Code P-L-0T]

Donatello:

“Sorry, I just had to do some small science project for a second there!”

Bonk:

You can hear some rustling, like the unknown user (Bonk) is eating something. When they speak it is very low, like they don’t want to be heard.

“Ah, that’s okay!” They let out a light chuckle. “I was still triangulating my move before applying the rotated translation to my Bishop, so you didn’t miss anything. Your three way assault is putting me in a bit of…well, a tight spot.” They hum thoughtfully.

Donatello:

“I am a little curious, you don’t mind me asking, if how you got this invite and server code? I tried to make it have an in-built defence again plot developments but I think I didn’t solidify my calculations enough.”

Bonk:

More rustling, and tapping like they are drumming their fingers.

“I just got a chess game invite and thought I would play. I didn’t realise you had a private server, actually. It’s got code I’ve never seen before and I couldn’t help but hang around here, if you don’t mind? I can always –

Suddenly Bonk lets out a squeak of surprise when there is a dulled thump.

“What’re you doin’ up? You know Mas-“ a rough, low voice asks a distance away from the microphone.

“Shhh!” Bonk hushes the new voice. He repeats the noise a few times in shorter bursts before speaking. “Do you want to get caught?”

Me?”

“Well, you’re awake past bedtime too now, so we are – so to speak – in this together.”

The second voice huffs, raising slightly.

“Not my fault your damn screen is lighting the top bunks like – is that chess?”

Bonk hums, clicking his tongue.

“5D chess, actually. It’s really –“

“You know I don’t care, righ’?”

There is a pause, and more shuffling.

“Are you going to tell on me?” Bonk can be herd asking. He sounds unsure but slightly offended. The other voice growls.

“Last time we were in that stupid Ha-“ the second voice begins to say but Bonk interrupts with a whine.

“Come on! You’re ruining my fun!”

“You and Mike always rope me into this sh*t-“

“Raph Raph Raph Raph Raph – not gonna stop saying your name until you change your mind – Raph Raph Raph Raph –“

Donatello:

“Wait, hold on –“

Bonk:

The audio continues like Bonk hasn’t heard Donatello speak. The second voice, Raph, curses under his breath.

“Donnie, stop that –“

“- Raph Raph Raph Raph Raph Raph –“

“Goddammit – okay okay, just shut your mouth before I shut it for ya –“

Bonk, or Donnie, lets out a happy sound. Raph can be heard cursing again as more rustling occurs.

“If Master Splinter heard any of that we’re f*cked –“

“See, now you understand the team spirit!”

“Can it.” There is more rustling and creaking. “Budge up, I might as well sit on your bunk seein’ as it’s so bright – Jesus how much tech you got here, how do you sleep –“

“You’re not exactly small, Raph.” Donnie retorts. “I have a very efficient sorting algorithm for everything here.”

Donatello:

Sounds of rapid keyboard tapping.

“Wait! Can I ask something?” Donatello asks quickly, sounding excited. He types on his keyboard again.

Bonk:

“Oh, checkmate – and yeah, I think so?” Quieter, he converses with presumably Raph. “As long as, according to my brother, it isn’t anything that could possibly define as “weird” or “freaky”.”

Donatello:

“Oh. Um.” Donatello types something again. He pauses. “Well, funny you should mention weird –“

He pauses again.

“You don’t happen to be ninja turtles living in a sewer with two other brothers named Michelangelo and Leonardo, and you don’t happen to be taught ninjitsu by a rat who may have or may have not been human depending on various factors?”

Bonk:

Raph loudly exclaims “what the sh*t?!” whilst you can hear Donnie let out a few panicked trills.

“Um – uh – no? Maybe? Perhaps? Metaphorically? How did you – what –“

There is a clatter and suddenly Raph’s voice is a lot more clear.

“Who the f*ck are you?” He asks aggressively and loudly. Donnie makes a hissed warning to “keep it down, do you want to get us caught?” But Raph ignores this.

Donatello:

“Easy, easy! I am actually Donatello too!” Donatello chuckles nervously.

“So you may have been invited into a multiversal chat room with alternate versions of yourself and playing chess with them within the last few days, nothing too unusual I’m sure –“

Bonk:

Donnie makes a series of surprised and happy noises, repeated over and over and getting louder. There is more rustling.

“Wait, the multiverse? It’s real? This is – amazing – oh I need to wake up Mikey, I promised him – hey!”

There is a thunk.

“This is clearly a trap or somethin’” Raph says. Donnie only continues to make excited and happy noises.

“How would they know so much about us otherwise?! This is the best day of my life, oh my gosh oh my gosh –“

“What’s going on, dudes? Slumber party?” A new voice pipes up. Raph curses loudly.

“It’s a trap –“

Donatello:

I can prove to you it’s not if you let me send an invite properly so you aren’t just restricted to the chess room –“

Bonk:

“Master Splinter’s gonna hear – “

“Mikey get to bed, Donnie’s geekin’”

“Make me bro –“

There are multiple voices growing in volume now. The third, Mikey, suddenly laughs and there is a loud thud.

“Mikey you moron, this bed ain’t gonna hold three turtles – “ Raph warns. Donnie is still babbling in excitement.

“Dude, what’s going on?! Donnie hasn’t been this excited since we found that MacBook at the dump, this has gotta be good!” Mikey says.

“The multiverse –“ Donnie begins. Mikey let’s out a very loud cry of delight.

“For real?! You’re not faking me out right now?! It’s real?! Like in comic books?!” He says. Raph growls.

“Not both of you – shut up –“

“What is happening here?” A final voice joins, hisses and low as it wants to remain as quiet as possible. “You’re going to get us all into trouble –“

“Tell that to the geek duo up here, it wasn’t my idea Splinter Junior –“ Raph snaps back.

Donatello:

“Um, hello?”

Bonk:

They continue like they didn’t hear Donatello speak, getting louder as they speak across each other. Donnie is still making excited noises that Mikey is happily joining in on, rapidly bouncing from topic to topic as he chatters to his immediate older brother. Raph and (presumably) Leo are torn between trying to get them to shut up and trying to not be heard by Master Splinter.

“Can we just knock ‘em out? They’re in one of their loops again –“ Raph asks. Leo huffs a sigh.

“I wouldn’t usually agree but if I have to spend another 24 hours in the Hashi –“

“Boys!”

There’s a surprised yelp and the call is cut off.

Donatello:

“Oh no.”

>> Teenage Mutant Ninja Teetles (NOT FROGS) <<

~~Electro~~:

[Live stream recording]

[Mikey can be seen spinning around in an office chair lazily, on repeat, close to his desk where the camera is resting.]

Raphael:

I did learn that mind swaps were not actually as fun as you would think that day

Cheese:

Bacon:

CaptainLeo:

I mean

Our Raph had a mind swap? Kinda?

~~Electro~~:

[Mikey reads the screen and barks out a laugh.

“Sure did! It was crazy!” He grins, winking at the camera. “More likeable, though!”]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

No @LostTheBraincell u gotta stick a magnet at the end of iit

[Voice Recording: Raph, very close to the microphone, growls “f*ck you.”]

Cheese:

Bacon:

Raphael:

Nah, Red is next

And I changed the chat name we aren’t frog fans

~~Electro~~

[Mikey plays the voice recording, raises his brow, then shoves his entire microphone in his mouth with a loud and somewhat victorious sound.]

Cheese:

CHOMP

Red:

Soon

not looking forward to it

LostTheBraincell:

@Bootyyyclapper9000 I did but then I didn’t know Don had made a “giga magnet”

I was stuck on a stair rail for two days

Bacon:

@Raphael not cool man

~~Electro~~

[Mikey takes the microphone out of his mouth and spins in his chair again. Raph can be seen sneaking into the room with a grin.]

Raphael:

Cheese:

Red:

Raphael:

WantsTheBraincell:

@Bootyyyclapper9000

[Video Recording]

A video of Angelo miserably stuck to the metal railing in their lair by the metal cover of his amputated arm. The video isn’t being taken by Leo, as he is arguing loudly with Raph about how “you can’t just use him as a coat hanger, we need to help him!” in the background. Angelo huffs, turning to the camera holder.

“This better not be blackmail.” His face falls. “Don, you betrayer! You –“ he dramatically wails, grabbing an empty soda can next to him with his foot and hurtling it at the turtle in question. Don chuckles and dodges the surprisingly accurate attack.

“You shouldn’t have snuck into my lab and got your grubby claws on my things. Think of this as karma.”

The video cuts off with Angelo’s yell of disagreement.

[Video ends]

LostTheBraincell:

I basically died of boredom

Two days

And you’re laughing

Red:

Sleepy talk

@Raphael

~~Electro~~:

[Mikey yells in surprise as Raph grabs his chair and starts spinning it faster. After a moment of flailing he grins and leans back co*ckily, clearly challenging Raph to do his worst. Raph cracks his knuckles and starts spinning the chair as hard as he can until Mikey is just an orange and green blur.]

WantsTheBraincell:

Sleepy talk?

LostTheBraincell:

No, you can’t just waltz into here with blackmail and then try and join the conversation

Get out

WantsTheBraincell:

You have no power over me

LostTheBraincell:

I can put your tea bags on really high shelves then laugh when you can’t reach them without crawling onto the fridge

WantsTheBraincell:

It’s not my fault Casey messed up the measurements

Cheese:

how do u mess up that baaaad

Bacon:

who tf is casey

Red:

[Photo ID: Red is taking a selfie of him, Blue and Orange. Blue is leaning against his plastron whilst typing on his phone, unaware of the picture being taken, and Orange is squinting at the camera, apparently only just woken up. They are all wrapped in one giant red blanket.]

These idiots played minecraft until 5am

LostTheBraincell:

What do you mean who is casey

Don’t let Raph see this

~~Electro~~:

[Mikey is spinning so fast on the office chair it is beginning to tilt over with the momentum. Raph happens to glance up at the screen and, upon reading the messages, makes a very displeased and shocked sound, staring at the camera. He doesn’t pay attention as Mikey is slung off the chair and off screen with a scream.]

AteTheBraincell:

What

Red:

No caseys???

Raphael:

Wait there are two of them?

Did he multiply in the vents or something?

WantsTheBraincell:

Why is my Don suddenly making lots of noises all of a sudden?

Do we need to stop him from blowing up something?

Red:

Oh no purple is too

Raphael:

They’re plotting something

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Voice note: Leo saying very loudly “I can and will fight you over this Raph! I am Leonardo!”

MC-MIKEY:

[Video recording]

Mikey is making goading noises as he zooms in the camera onto Leo’s face, which is twisted in anger. He spins so the camera blurs, and lands on Raph, making the same sounds. In the background, you can hear Donnie talking wildly to himself.

Raph is grinning and gives Leo the finger. Leo cracks his neck and tackles Raph to the ground.

[Video ends]

Chapter Text

>> The Isolation Chamber <<

LostTheBraincell:

They actually broke my record of how quickly you get banned

Very mad

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I told you to be quiet

LostTheBraincell:

I rule over this domain

You can’t stop me

???:

Leo:

[Voice Note: Bayverse Raph laughing mockingly. It’s shortly followed by a loud thump and a curse, then the audio cuts off.]

MC-MIKEY:

raph just died LMAOOOOO

LostTheBraincell:

I mean at least I am not collateral damage

Is your Donnie awake yet???

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a picture of Bayverse Donnie propped in a chair, googly eyes stuck on his eyelids.]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Voice Note: Blue singing “California Girls” purposefully off key]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I am adding a mute feature

LostTheBraincell:

You won’t

I will bribe you

I_Crave_Chemicals:

If you are talking about the plastic baby you just sent over to our universe that has not helped you argue your case

???:

f*ck OFF

Leo:

U cant

i am leo now

MC-MIKEY:

[Video recording]

Leo, from offscreen, falls into frame. A soda can follows him, hitting him on the snout. Raph can be heard laughing loudly, but cuts off when Leo grabs Donnie’s discarded bō and strides angrily towards the source of the laughter.

“f*ck –“ Raph can be heard cursing before there is a flurry of bangs and thumps. The camera spins, and shows Mikey filming himself sitting at a table. Beside him, there are an array of scattered items, mostly comic books and pizza crusts (built into a small tower). The seat next to him is taken by an unconscious Donnie, who now has a childish drawing of a dick drawn on his face.

“Oh my god, the girls are fighting!” Mikey whispers with a grin.

[Video ends.]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

LostTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording]

[Angelo is sat in front of the camera, draped in a large robe so you can only see his lower face. In a haggard impression of an old witch, he says:

“Look into my eyes and let me tell you a tale –“

He is cut off when a beer can flies into his head and knocks him off his chair. Rafa wanders into frame, chuckling, lobbing another empty can at his brother. Both are clearly somewhat intoxicated, Rafa stumbling into Angelo’s seat and peering at the camera.

“Why does he have so many f*cking chat groups?” He asks. He pauses, then mumbles: “I’m going to get him banned from all of them.”]

Cheese:

WantsTheBraincell:

It is not my turn to deal with them two

LostTheBraincell:

[Rafa suddenly is yanked from the seat and Angelo crashes back onto his desk. A few action figures fall down.

“Wait…” Angelo squints at the screen. “I can’t read, who am I kidding?” He laughs, and you can hear Rafa chuckling from the floor. Angelo’s eyes furrow as they drift around, landing on the stump of his left arm. He is silent for a second.

“Huh?” He says, eyes widening. “Where did my arm go –“]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

goddam evr wake up and your arm is missing

Steroids:

I cant tell if hes a lightweight or has been drinking for three days straight

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I don’t think we want the answer to that question

CaptainLeo:

He fell over again

LostTheBraincell:

[The door creaks open and Don enters the room. At this point you can only hear strangled wheezes of laughter and murmured comments from Rafa and Angelo.

“Oh boy. Can you even stand?” Don asks. In response Rafa laughs louder. Don looks at the camera, raising his eyebrow ridge.

“Don’t drink, kids.” He says, and switches the camera off.]

“So then it turned out that the monster in that episode was old man Pat – why did it have to be OLD MAN PAT, I trusted him, but if Scooby Doo says he’s a bad guy then –“]

MC-MIKEY:

LOL

oh yea dudes take a look

[Photo ID: a very blurred picture of Mikey and his brothers. They are all sitting at a table playing uno, but Raph is in the process of eating a card whilst staring directly at Leo, who is looking horrified. Donnie is making a card tower, taking some of Mikey’s cards (of which he has at least 30, all numbers) to do so.]

[Video recording]

[Raph walks past with Donnie on his shell like a piggy back. Donnie is mumbling something, trying to type on his phone but his fingers keep missing the screen. Raph huffs and snatches the phone, tossing it backwards. Donnie makes a noise at the back of his throat in protest.

“That was highly unnecessary, turn back or I will – um –“ Donnie hums, blinking heavily. He then starts to spitefully untie Raph’s mask as the older slows down when they reach the sofa. Mikey snickers.

“Wha – stop it, ya shrimp!” Raph shrugs Donnie off, dropping him on the sofa. Donnie holds Raph’s mask, triumphant.

“I won’t let it go until you let me talk with the other Donatellos again.” He mumbles with a yawn. Raph folds his arms.

“Betting right now you fall asleep within the next two minutes.” He says. Mikey giggles.

“I bet one!” He chimes. Donnie sticks out his tongue.

“I’ll lick it.”

“You ain’t gonna do that, you’re scared of touchin the sinks in a public bathroom and they’re cleaner than that.”

“I doubt that.”]

[Video ends]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

He makes a good point about public bathrooms

Our Splinter always told us to stay away from them for good reason

Steroids:

Oh yeah

What got up ur ass earlier

Raphael:

Rude is my main character trait

You’re gonna have to narrow it

Bacon:

U got all angsty about humans and sh*t

Made my mikey a little miffed so imma punch you virtually rn

Raphael:

I was just pointing out very obvious truths

Steroids:

Oh yeah whilst were here

Wtf happened to ur mikes eye

Bacon:

It seemed personal

f*ck:

Ugh wheres a mikey when u need one

I feel like this isn’t a very good technique to ask someone sh*t idk

Red:

The way you phrased everythin

Idk

It sounded personal

Raphael:

I told you, Michelangelo got hurt just over a year back

I could tell you fellas why I guess

I mean who am I kidding

You’ve probably strung something together

Red:

Humans?

Raphael:

Humans

And me, actually

Steroids:

What

What happened to our little brother

Talk pipsqueak

Red:

Calm down!

Gettin all riled up aint gonna solve anythin

f*ck:

I somehow doubt it was your fault

Bacon:

What happened

What do I need to look out for

Raphael:

Relax, kid

Most things in our universe don’t cross over

Just don’t get too chummy around humans

f*ck:

I see sense in that I guess

Humans aren’t accepting at all in my universe

Only the good few

Steroids:

What happened

What happens to my brother

Even if there’s a small chance I gotta know

Bacon:

Agreed

f*ck:

Yeah

Raphael:

It’s clean cut really

Me and Michelangelo were getting some pizza and he was stalling because he wanted to help this family of raccoons

I was impatient and stupidly left him to get the pizza

When I get back I see a human kicking him in the alleyway and

It was horrible

No goddamn reason

Kicking his head in over and over all because he was different and he didn’t like that

Steroids:

What the f*ck

f*ck

f*ck:

He was blinded over that?

Bacon:

Wth

Dad always told us humans were bad

Something almost happened to him but idk

What happened next

Please

Raphael:

The punk had bladed shoes

He went out that day to hurt somebody and found my baby brother

An easy target because who cares if it’s a mutant freak, right? That’s what he told me before I punched all his teeth out anyway

But I was too late, the punk had kicked directly into his eye and sliced right through

This had never happened in my universe before, not like this

I left him because I trusted that humans were forgiving but pity the fool am I right? I didn’t make that mistake again

Steroids:

If I could get ahold of that f*cking asshole I would have ripped him limb from limb

Red:

Take it from another Raph

That wasn’t your fault

Bacon:

what the hell

what

f*ck

Raphael:

Don’t freak out kid

Like I said every universe is different

Nothing is going to happen to your Michelangelo

Bacon:

But it could

i dont want to see them get hurt

i won’t let anyone go near them

f*ck:

Very Raphael to say that kiddo

But sh*t happens

Trust me when I say you can’t stop everything and it f*ckin sucks because you feel like you should and couldve but it happens anyway

@Raphael u saved him from being killed by that asshole

That counts for a whole lot

Bacon:

@Red but arent u blind in the same eye

Red:

Ye

but way different circ*mstances

Krang

Bacon:

This is messed up

Is my future really like this??? My brothers???

Wth

Raphael:

Deep breaths kiddo

My universe is much more peaceful usually

Your brothers are safe now that’s what counts

f*ck:

I can’t lie to you kid

It could end up with more hurt

Mine certainly did

I’m not gonna be a Leo and lie to u about that

But it could not

And even if it does you and your bros will always, always get through it together

Red:

It hurts at the time

But everything heals

You have each other

Bacon:

Yea

K

i think i get it

focus on the now right?

Steroids:

Yeah

Things f*ck us over but u wanna know something?

A Raphael never gets knocked down

Raphael:

@AteTheBraincell really missing out on the drama here

f*ck:

At least he’s having a good time

Bacon:

Chapter Text

>> Cult Of The Michelangelo <<

[Video chat loading]

[Connection secured]

[Loading participants]

There are six screens currently in the call. To all members, the song “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa is being played.

Michelangelo (1987) is dancing in front of the camera happily, using a mix of spinning on his shell, energetic arm movements and quick steps to the beat of the song. His mask has been taken off, and he has loads of those loom band bracelets up his arms and around his ankles. Without his mask, you can see the deep scarring around his blind eye, and the white glaze covering the eye itself is much more noticeable. However, Michelangelo doesn’t seem to care, giggling as he spins around in a circle and claps to the beat.

Orange (2018) is on the screen beside his. Like his counterpart, he is also dancing. His room lights have been dimmed, his arms and spots glowing as he dances smoothly.

Mike (bayverse) dances wildly to the beat of the song, his arms and legs just a blur as he stomps around his room. The movements, though looking chaotic, somewhat blend together well enough to be recognised as a dance routine. He had several necklaces that knock against his plastron each time he jumps, all having various beads and items attached to them (one of them just being a collection of kitchen utensils hooked on a rusted chain).

On the next screen, Michel (2023) gives a loud whoop when Michelangelo spins on one foot with a grin. He is also dancing, dressed entirely in pink, topped with pink, heart-shaped shades. He dances out of rhythm but does not care, clapping to the beat. In the background, you can see Splinter looking at him in a fond confusion, shaking his head before shuffling out of the doorway.

Angelo (2003) is singing and dancing to the song currently playing, also wearing a variety of pink get up. Most notably, he is wearing a long, loose dress covered in pink glitter, and a plastic tiara. His singing is terribly off tune.

Lastly, Mikey (2012) is laughing, almost in hysterics, watching his alternates dance. He has a pink cape strapped around his shoulders. When he calms down a little, he continues to dance with the others – his dance moves are most notably the best out of them all, looking almost professional.

None of them talk, only turning up the music and dancing. Once the song ends, it loops back to the start. In the moment that nothing is being outputted from the video chat, all the Michelangelos freeze abruptly. So abruptly that Mike (who had been slowly getting more and more enthusiastic) falls on the ground with enough force to shudder the camera.

Then the music continues, and the other alternates start dancing again. Mike does not get up, but the makeshift strobe lights in his room still flash over his body, which lies face first on the ground.

On Angelo’s screen, Don stumbles into frame with a hand curled around a large coffee mug. Sleepily, he looks up at his brother, and then back down at his coffee with a furrowed brow.

Michelangelo keeps dancing even when Raphael throws open his door with an annoyed click and hiss.

“It’s three in the morning, Michelangelo!” He sighs. He looks tired, his mask crookedly tied around his head. Michelangelo smiles warmly, waving his hand in an invitation. Raphael hums, and Michelangelo grabs his hand before he can turn and sprint away.

“Michelangelo, come on –“ but the elder is smiling as Michelangelo spins them both in a circle, jumping up and down.

Mike is still on the ground, unmoving. His Raphael (Ra) walks into the frame with a box of opened cereal and, after a confused pause and a suspicious glance at the camera, pokes Mike with his foot.

The rest of the Michelangelos keep dancing, even when Ra starts trying to ask them questions.

My brothers got some for my birthday/mutation day gift one year that was at least ten feet long!

I did get in confiscated when I stopped sleeping trying to pop them all -_-

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Approved

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Why has something similar also happened to me?

Bubble wrap might be a Donatello weakness, let it be known to The Council

Donatello (Grape):

Give

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Gasp! Oh I love it why must you taunt me with such a delight to the senses!

Approved, by the way.

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Egg (Violet):

Good

srsly i wouldve crawled through that mailing system and mollywhop anyone who said no

Donatello (Grape):

I wonder if I can make a magnet to gather only bubble wrap in the surrounding area

Honestly all of my brothers love it!

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I have the power

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Grinding my teeth in jealously

Lavender tell him that he must share!

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Surely if you were to create a magnet for bubble wrap it would end up popping before it bets there? With the acceleration of it travelling to the magnet, it will probably explode all the bubbles on impact unfortunately.

And yes, perhaps they can consider sharing? Fellow Donatello intellect? Just a second?

Bonk (Amethyst):

I will give you my soul for it

Or at least, the best hard drive I have on hand

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Be gone, beggars

Egg (Violet):

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Shut

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Don’t make me put both of you in the “get along” corner again

Egg (Violet):

if u do i wont tell u about the mikey cult

Donatello:

Excuse me, my Leonardo has knocked himself out?

I might have to give him a hug and a Star Wars plaster until he’s better

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

How?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

@Egg I need the intel

We have been trying to disband the cult activity to no success

Bonk (Amethyst):

There’s a cult???

My mikey is definitely already rising up the tanks then, just as a cheerleader

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Great, another mildly crazy Mikey

Donatello (Grape):

I think calling Angelo “mildly crazy” is an understatement

HasTheBraincell:

He’s a gremlin, trust me

If he’s bored, it’s game over

Otherwise he’s got a heart of gold

Egg (Violet):

ADHD (final boss)

Bonk (Amethyst):

He’s not crazy…just enthusiastic

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac)

Why is my leo screaming “shut up” over and over

Aren’t they supposed to be playing mazes and mutants/dnd together?

Donatello (Lavender):

Yeah my Leo is passed out

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

I wouldn’t worry

Leo sells the least amount of action figures so he can wait until we finish our list of very exciting things

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Jurassic Park?

Bonk (Amethyst):

You guys love dinosaurs too?????

All six versions of Leonardo are currently in a call. Leo (2012) has papers and blueprints spilled around him and is grinning as he starts talking enthusiastically.

“You’ve made it to the entrance of the cave…there is no sound, or any indication of life. How do you proceed?“

“I take out my diary and document the cave for my family, who are still trapped in The Vortex, so they can read about my adventures when I save them!” Nardo (2003) interrupts. Unlike the others, his screen shows he is dressed in his full gear, his mask tails (which have red, orange and purple fabric platted into them) hanging over his shoulder.

Blue (2018) snickers. He is wearing bed wear, only he is also bundled up in a blanket. His mask remains on, but he has taped a wooden sword to his arm.

“I forgot about your overly tragic backstory- how many pages was it, again?” Blue asks with a raised brow. Leon (2023) rolls his eyes at the screen.

“Yeah yeah, at least his character’s only trait isn’t wanting to rizz up every male NPC in the area, dude.”

Blue winks, tossing back his mask tails.

“You’re just jealous of my boyfriend army.”

On the screen next to him, Leonardo (1987) claps his hands. He is wearing a homemade knight outfit out of pizza boxes.

“I use my spell scroll of Detection to try and see if any enemies lie underneath!” He says, grabbing his character sheet. Leo, from the other screen, nods and rolls some dice. The screen flips so you can see the dice in question roll to a stop on 16.

“Your spell cast is successful, and you see that there are a dozen goblins that guard the path of the cave, with three hiding behind the rocks at the entrance.” Leo informs them. Blue interrupts by making a long snoring sound.

“Ok but what happened to “surprise party? No?” Blue grins when Leon gives him a deadpan look. “I’m just kidding, don’t pout at me like that!”

“This is already much better than games with my brothers.” Nardo says with huffed laughter. “Don always gets too caught up trying to “outsmart the game” and outright cheats with Angelo whilst Rafa tries to kill everyone within the first five minutes “to make a point”.” He rolls his eyes.

The last participant, Lee (bayverse) leans back in his chair, laughing.

“I’ll admit I haven’t done this before, but that’s because Dee always steals the pieces for whatever science project he wants to do.”

“Ugh, little brothers – am I right?” Nardo says lightly. General murmurs and chuckles of agreement fill the call for a few moments before Leo continues.

“So can I plan an attack formation?” Lee asks. When he sees Leo nod, he furrows his brow. “Right, so I think that Leon should play music to draw attention, considering the cave –“

“Isn’t Leon’s character –“ Leonardo begins to ask.

“John.” Leon corrects.

“Right - isn’t John on a spiritual retreat for mental health?” The turtle finishes.

“Coward.” Blue says. He turns to Leo. “I send all my boyfriends in to charge.” He orders. Leo splutters.

“That’s like twenty –“

I send in all my boyfriends in my Boyfriend Army to charge.” Blue leans forward in his seat.

On the other screen, Leon is talking to Lee.

“I told you, John the Bard of Nee-Webbings is retired and only wants to play music and make friends. That’s his character. He’s not going to be bait.”

Lee flips him off.

Leo is still trying to argue with Blue.

“You never said all of your boyfriends were following you –“

Blue spins on his chair, grinning.

“Fine. I creep inside and seduce a goblin.” He says. Leo facepalms.

“This is our first fight –“

“And I want to have a hunky goblin boyfriend!”

Leonardo raises his hand.

“I choose to follow Blue’s character and defend him on this quest!” He thrusts his sword into the air.

“You can’t just f*cking play the harp all the damn time, what if we start bleeding out?!” Lee is raising his voice. Leon sticks his tongue out.

“Then John will play the funeral march for you.” Nardo says and turns his gaze to Leo. “Therai chooses to try and see if she can find any other entrances to the cave.”

Blue stands up on his screen, pouting.

“Let me have a hunky goblin boyfriend!” He whines. Leo ignores him and rolls a dice for Nardo’s request. It lands on two.

Leon, seeing the failed roll, bursts out laughing.

“Dude, you’ve been getting horrible rolls all game so far, sucks to suck –“

Meanwhile, on Lee’s screen, you can see Dee standing in the doorway. Lee turns towards him curiously when he doesn’t speak.

“What are you –“ he tries to ask but, before he can finish, Dee switches his light off and runs away. “Hey! I told you to stop that –“

Lee’s screen is now just plunged into darkness apart from the slight glow of the “Mazes and Mutants” board he has on his desk.

Nardo is scowling on his screen whilst Leo describes his character’s actions. Leo himself is rearranging some pieces on his board as he talks.

“Therai tries to look around, but she suddenly stopped when she trips over her own warhammer. The shame of the fall makes her embarrassed and she chooses to follow the others silently.” Leo is smiling slightly. In contrast, Nardo tosses his hands into the air and slams his head on the table, knocking a few pieces on his board down.

“Looks like I’m playing in the dark. He’s tripped the light bulb on purpose.” Lee switches on a desktop lamp that gives a little light. It illuminates his face, making him look creepy and partially merged into the shadows.

“Onward, everyone!” Blue thrusts his arm stump out, pointing the wooden sword taped to it to the side. “To victory!”

“Wait, we’re going loud?” Leon asks, mildly panicked. “But John doesn’t like going loud – “

“Everyone roll for the first fight in the campaign!” Leo says, eagerly grabbing a pencil and paper. “I’ve been planning this for weeks, and I hope –“

“I’m not rolling. I sneak attack them before they get the chance to see us.” Lee interrupts. Leo shakes his head, pointing at his camera.

“John alerted the goblins of your position when he played the harp in the cave –“

In sync, all of the Leonardos (excluding Leo and Leon) all groan “John!” In exasperation. Leon folds his arms in response, doubling down.

“Hey, I’m not silencing the creative inspiration music gives. It’s 2023.” He shrugs nonchalantly. Lee throws a wad of paper at the screen in response. Blue pretends he has been hit by this paper, and flies back in his chair with a scream.

“I aim for the toes.” Leonardo pipes up, waving his sword in the air. “Everyone knows goblins –“

“You need to roll first! Or else –“ Leo leans forward, trying to explain. Leonardo laughs him off.

“But my reflexes are too fast! I always go first!” He says lightheartedly, grabbing a pizza slice from the side. It has macaroni and skittles as a topping. Leon is staring at it in horror.

“I hit the biggest goblin with my warhammer. With my high attacking stats it should knock it out, right?” Nardo asks over the sounds of Leon’s disgust. Leo sighs.

“Okay. Sure. Let’s roll…” Leo shows the dice as it rolls. It is a three. At the sight, Blue lets out a loud “HA!” whilst Nardo hits his head against the table a few times.

“Let the master handle this!” Blue declares. He pulls closer to the camera, smugness etched across all his features. “I seduce the hunkiest goblin here with my charming charisma!”

“No, don’t eat that – STOP!” During this, Leon is watching Leonardo eat his pizza slice happily. “Dude, I can’t hear the macaroni crunching, what the heck –“ he covers his ears. Leonardo just waved at him.

Leo is looking at his camera in tired defeat as he rolls the dice for Blue. He grins upon seeing the number. It is 6.

“You try and seduce the biggest goblin but he does not care. You think he might have been persuaded for a moment but that just leaves you open for his attack.” Leo moves more pieces across the board. “So, the goblin attacks with –“

“I THROW JOHN IN FRONT OF ME!” Blue bluest quickly. Leo freezes, staring up at the screen with a face full of betrayal.

“Not John!” Leonardo yells. He stands. “He’s just a child!”

Leo rolls the dice. The camera is shaking as it displays the number 19.

Immediately, Leon starts screaming and wailing as Leo brutally describes John the Bard of Nee-Webbings getting bludgeoned to death by the goblin. He keeps sobbing even when John is declared dead.

Lee points at the screen, jabbing his finger as he speaks to Blue.

“You killed John! What the hell?!” Lee asks. Blue grins.

“I never liked his harp playing.” He retorts. Leon sobs louder as Nardo sits calmly, watching as an argument escalates between Blue and Lee.

“I never liked your face.” Lee says back. Blue gasps as if he’s been shot.

“You take that back –“

“Your stripes are lame. John was much more handsome than you.”

“Your mom.”

I don’t have a mom you f*cking –“

Leo coughs, trying to break up the argument and quieten the sounds. When that doesn’t work, he turns his gaze to Nardo’s screen.

“Do you want to attack?” He asks, raising his voice as Blue starts imitating Lee’s voice in a high-pitched tone. Nardo nods from his screen, tossing his mask tails behind his back.

“I want to aim my warhammer at the knee of the goblin that killed John. I have a very high attack and accuracy.” He shows Leo his sheet. All of the stats are close to perfect.

Meanwhile, Blue has turned his attention to Leon, who is still sobbing dramatically and leaning back in his chair.

“What, are you crying? Nobody liked John, let’s be honest!” He then starts making baby crying noises as Leon hugs John’s character sheet.

Leo rolls the dice, and his screen follows as it lands on a one. Slowly, Leo looks up at Nardo’s screen.

Nardo can be seen taking a deep breath. Then, he violently flips his board, rising from his chair and about the lunge at the camera.

Apparently he flipped his board so hard that the shockwave impossibly passes through to Leonardo’s dimension. Leonardo trills in alarm as his own board is blasted away with a gust of wind and he is thrown backwards with the sheer force. He lands with a crash, his foot the only thing left visible on the screen, sticking in the air.

How –“ Leo splutters, staring at Leonardo’s screen. He is distracted at the chaos erupting with the remaining Leonardos, however.

Blue is now pointing his sword at the screen, yelling at Lee. Lee is yelling back, tossing his pieces at the camera in an attempt to avenge John and attack Blue. Nardo is being held back by Rafa and Don as he yells things like “I had perfect stats!”, “it’s rigged.”, and “it’s monopoly all over again, I can’t take it –“

Leo is trying to gain control. He is pointing to the vast amounts of paper he has stacked around him, trying to get the campaign back on track. But Leon is now beginning to start a funeral service for John. It isn’t quite working when you can hear “Dance the Night” slowly increasing in volume somewhere close to him.

“Shut up!” Leo snaps. “We haven’t even gotten through our first fight yet! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”

They never make it through the first fight.

>>f*ck Windows<<

I am never playing mazes and mutants with any of you ever again I hope you all choke on tea

Chapter Text

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

Bacon:

yeah but why has my leo been sobbin for a decade fr

LostTheBraincell:

@Bootyyyclapper9000 I found that the fake arm is too clumsy for me, but you probably need to fully test out fighting with both to get a feel for it. Either way the best place to start is rebalancing your footwork seeing as your weight isn’t evenly distributed anymore

@Bacon how dare you interrupt me

Bacon:

rude

u were talking about boring stuff

Bootyyyclapper9000:

No u

im trying to get advice from my brother in arm and u dare

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I saw that terrible pun, Blue

Bacon:

hell naaah my topic is better

~~Electro~~:

Good to know we are all up at 4am

And is it a funny cry or a depressed cry?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

The genius of a Donatello reaches peak performance at 4am, you fool

Bootyyyclapper9000:

(He hasnt slept fro 32 hours ignore him)

(actually ignore him anywayy forever)

Bootyyyshaker9000:

(Blue hasn’t slept for the same amount of time)

Bacon:

look im only awake because i wanted to get a drink and like

i swear hes like cryin in his sleep on god

something about john the bard or something idk

Bootyyyclapper9000:

nothing important then

LostTheBraincell:

Do not question why I am awake, child

I am many moons older than you

Bacon:

why tf do u sound like a skyrim npc

~~Electro~~:

Do not question father Micheal

I mean –

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of a very large purple flame emitting from rods of metal that glow slightly with a purple hue.]

Science!

Bacon:

Bacon:

Dude

Bonk:

~~Electro~~:

Join us join us

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: Purple is taking a selfie. Behind him, there is a large fire occurring. Like the previous picture, the flames are (oddly) purple.]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Purple pls dont set off the fire alarm

Ive just got cozy in my bed if I have to evacuate I will snatch ur eyebrows

Bonk:

Oh wait

You guys won’t tell my brothers I’m here right?

LostTheBraincell:

Wait why tf is there a fire photo shoot

LostTheBraincell:

Buzzkill

AteTheBraincell:

Shouldve known you would be behind this

LostTheBraincell:

Moi???

Technically Don was here first but I think he passed out during his explanation of the Jurassic Park Extended Universe

Bootyyyclapper9000:

can confirm

i heard the faceplant onto his desk from several multiverses away

AteTheBraincell:

Shut the f*ck up

Why are the loudest turtles up at the same time

Just get to bed

LostTheBraincell:

no.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Rest assured, everything is under control!

It is a controlled flame to fuse the metals!

Bonk:

Why is it purple??

Bootyyyshaker9000:

My mystic powers are boosting it

Bonk:

I wish I had the power to do such things

I would love to create a bunch of high grade tech for the lair!!

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a picture of a pickle]

Why cant I be him

Egg:

dont assume that pickles gender come on man

~~Electro~~:

[Voice note: the sound of a pickle being eaten]

HUNGRY

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What resources do you use in your universe for tech?

I have found other Donatellos use the scrap yard but I prefer to buy my metals new where I can through totally not stolen funds that were kindly donated to me when I asked for them

LostTheBraincell:

@AteTheBraincell coward

You’re getting old like Leo

Bed time for Raphie-boy!

AteTheBraincell:

Take that back

Bacon:

YEAH EAT THAT PICKLE

Bonk:

Yes, I do use the scrapyard a lot too

Though there are a few imports of computers and stuff near the docks which do come in handy!

I like the challenge of pulling broken parts back together if im being honest, it’s always so fun when you get it working again!

f*ck:

I heard someone called a Raphael a coward

LostTheBraincell:

And I’ll say it again

Coward

Egg:

Segway:

[Photo ID: a scorched lab table. In the centre, a metallic arm lies, glowing slightly purple.]

HasTheBraincell:

LostTheBraincell:

And these were like mixing spoons not teaspoons

~~Electro~~:

Bonk:

I refuse to take the fall if anything happens

I just wanted to do some coding

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Bootyyyclapper9000:

MC-MIKEY:

LostTheBraincell:

MC-MIKEY:

Bonk:

No, because I will never live it down

Bootyyyshaker9000:

AteTheBraincell:

Hey hey I’m not taking no fall either

If anyone asks they didn’t see nothin understand?

~~Electro~~:

Im just choking on nutmeg why did I do this

Egg:

da boyz downing nutmeg at 3am

Bacon:

not click bait

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Don in his lab. The lab itself looks lovingly used, the desk cluttered and several computers (old, chunky models) scattered around the room. Don himself is in his chair, head face first onto the desk. His phone can be seen blinking underneath, the keys being pressed where his cheek rests on them. The genius still has a pen in his hand, goggles askew.]

He literally talked himself to sleep

~~Electro~~:

Im not getting high

Ive just got a bunch of dust in my throat

Not cool

Egg:

give it time dude

Bonk:

I wish I could say I have never face-planted my desk before (◞ ‸ ◟ㆀ)

Bootyyyclapper9000:

wait u were making an arm???

AteTheBraincell:

I’m going back to bed

Right I’m taking Don and myself to bed seeing as the nerd can’t figure out what a bed is

Don’t you dare wake me again

Can and will strap you to the underside of the battle shell for a week

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Sleep is for the week, I shall reiterate

And yes dumb dumb otherwise we can’t be twins unless I chopped off my own arm, which surprisingly does not appeal to me

Bonk:

Okay now I am craving pickles

LostTheBraincell:

*cough* mama Raphie *cough*

AteTheBraincell:

One more word I swear

LostTheBraincell:

Why are you so nice around Don huh?

If I fell asleep at a desk you would fart in my face or something

Bacon:

good idea

Bootyyyclapper9000:

awwwww softshell

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Alas, my bad boy persona!

AteTheBraincell:

I like Don

I don’t like you

LostTheBraincell:

[Voice note: dramatic, ugly sobbing]

Egg:

old man going to bed at 4am what a boomer

~~Electro~~:

Dude I just googled it apparently I gotta wait up to 10 hours

And I could die but like

No

Bacon:

k this convo is boring as heck

going back to sleep

see ya losers

Egg:

no one asked you to stay dude

LostTheBraincell:

I think I’ve been awake too long

How long before I taste colours asking for a friend

Egg:

as a pro

48 – 53 hour mark

Bonk:

hmmm

50 hours?

we have no pickles which has ruined my night/day significantly

I could probably try and bio engineer something close to in all fairness

LostTheBraincell:

niiice

~~Electro~~:

Cant believe theyre all ditching us

Egg:

Weak

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Indeed

LostTheBraincell:

Ok so

Purple can you make Blues robot arm have mini arms on its fingers and then like those arms can have tiny arms because I would invest

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a selfie of Blue. He is grinning at the camera, making a peace sign with a robotic arm. The arm has purple lighting racing down it, occasionally flickering around the metal. It is clearly Purple’s mystic energy]

ITS YA BOY WITH TWO ARMS

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Not permanently, he said with a stern tone, because it has limited energy and overuse may damage your remaining segment of arm further due to it connecting directly to your nervous system

Bonk:

I love everything you just said there

Is that your mystics/powers(?) powering it? Like a limitless energy?

LostTheBraincell:

Sweet! Go Blue!

Egg:

i like the vibes of the arm design

SHEEEESH

~~Electro~~:

Eating a pickle in victory for you dude

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Correct! My mystic energy is powering the device, and perhaps giving it a few upgrades fused with my already magnificent tech!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

for once I like science LETS GOOOOO

f*ck:

[Photo ID: it’s completely dark, with only a few outlines of the lair’s kitchen seen. However, the only thing you can see (picked up by Raph’s flash camera) is Mikey eating a pickle whilst doing a handstand. His eyes shine eerily, pupils unseen.]

What am I witnessing here

Wtf

Bonk:

Stop making me crave pickles!!!

Looks like I’ll start growing some in a petri dish

Egg:

mmm petri pickle

LostTheBraincell:

I would like some petri pickle please

I can trade you half a walnut and this hot water bottle that has now gone cold

Bonk:

Oh, you do drive a hard bargain

Steroids:

He’s gonna have to pass

Bonk:

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a large hot water bottle]

Starting bid at 2 wet fish

LostTheBraincell:

Egg:

Look what I found!!! Totally cool!!!

Bonk:

CaptainLeo:

I am mildly concerned that @Bonk is up all the time

Bonk:

Time is an illusion

Leonardo:

What even happened last night?

I had so many notifications

Steroids.

Mikes still sleepin on the toilet

Leerless-Feeder:

Why would that be, Raph? Donnie?

CaptainLeo:

LostTheBraincell:

CaptainLeo:

How are you all even functioning???

You literally were up when I woke up for training

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a pebble that is shaped like a heart. It is a deep brown with lighter flecks scattered throughout, the size of Leo’s palm. Unlike Michelangelo’s, it has chips and scratches on it, signs of age.]

I have one too

And we aren’t exactly awake @CaptainLeo, just skipping training for the morning to try and recuperate

LostTheBraincell:

Recharge

Bread:

@LostTheBraincell u literally dared my donnie to play fortnite until he could taste colours

LostTheBraincell:

In my defence, no one should ever listen to me

Bacon:

Steroids:

WantsTheBraincell:

I was awake with Angelo for a bit

LostTheBraincell:

I was fine :(

You did not need to shove all that tea down your throat you totally went overboard

AteTheBraincell:

I got a text at 5am asking for a new hot water bottle because you lost yours across the multiverse I think you deserve that

Bread:

I mean personally I’ve never had tea not solve my problems so i dunno i think hes right

Bootyyyclapper9000:

the tea didnt take my trauma away but it came damn close

CaptainLeo:

Everything okay?

WantsTheBraincell:

It was only four cups hush

Leonardo:

Mmm tea

Leerless-Feeder:

Fine

If thats how its going to be

LittleMike:

You gotta see my superbuloso collection of rocks dude its unreal!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I can remind you that you can die of a tea overdose

And I thought we had banned you from making trauma based jokes for 29 years, 6 months and 24 days, dear Blue?

Bread:

wow he really dropped the trauma while its hot huh

LostTheBraincell:

@CaptainLeo it was nothing big just a phantom pain because like

My arm likes to torture me from arm heaven from time to time

Bootyyyclapper9000:

You read that wrong I did not break the Twin Oath of Section 9B.2 (Delta) I swwear

Cheese:

*whispers* gaslight

MC-MIKEY:

[Video recording]

Mikey can be heard giggling loudly as he races around a corner. You can hear banging up until he reaches the source of the sound, revealing Leo ripping down Raph’s door. Raph is cursing at him, blocking the doorway with his body.

“Where are you hiding him?!” Leo asks, trying to push forward.

“Nowhere!” Raph snaps back. Leo clearly doesn’t believe him, pushing him out of the way.

Snickering, Mikey zooms in his camera with a quiet “caught in 4K!” whispered under his breath. The shot zooms in on the top of a wardrobe, where you can see Donnie is fearing for his life as he hides impossibly small on top. His arms and legs are tucked into his shell as his eyes lock onto Mikey with an “eep”.

Leo, hearing the noise, looks up. Raph curses.

“How did you get up there?!”

Shoving Raph out of the way, Leo shakes the wardrobe with a warning cry of “earthquake!”. Donnie yelps as he rocks precariously on the top.

[Video ends]

all this to get him to bed

Bootyyyclapper9000:

angry wet cat energy

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am taking away your arm rights

Bootyyyclapper9000:

NO

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What can be given can also be taken away

Step very carefully

Cheese:

911 blackmail blackmail

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am the 911

Leonardo:

Aw. Hope you get better soon @LostTheBraincell

LostTheBraincell:

*thumb up*

Tis but a scratch

Honestly not that bad anymore just achey

~MagicMike~

Oh!

I found that warm water helps with herbal infusions

That’s what helps my hands anyway

Dad taught me that

CaptainLeo:

Mikey don’t you dare make the dad joke again

~~Electro~~:

*retracts dead dad joke*

LostTheBraincell:

Neat

NOT TO THE DEAD DAD WRONG TIMING

WantsTheBraincell:

@MC-MIKEY I actually did the earthquake game to my brothers as kids

We used to all have one bunk bed but we all wanted to sleep at the top so the bottom bunk stayed empty

In the mornings to wake them up I would do that

Very effective

AteTheBraincell:

I still hate you for that

The amount of times I ate sh*t

LittleMike:

Turtle pile!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

RED DID THAT SKSKS

But like we slept on his back so he would just shake himself like a dog

Red:

biggest brother privilege!

Cheese:

I wanna do that

Someone earthquake me

Donatello:

I have three pickles now

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Okay

What the hell happened last night????

Mikey

LostTheBraincell:

Pickle

~~Electro~~:

How dare you cast blame upon me

I am innocent donnie!! Innocent!!

Donatello:

[Photo ID: a picture of three pickles with faces drawn in marker pen. In the background you can see what looks like a construction of a Lego house.]

I’m giving them a home!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

LEGO

Bonk:

LEGO

I_Crave_Chemicals:

LEGO

Wait don’t distract me

Red:

Purple once built a lego city on my shell

Bootyyyshaker9000:

It was a thriving economy if I say so myself!

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donnie in his room, paper stuck to his cheek like he has just woken up. His focus is on his phone screen, his unmasked face showing his dilated pupils as he stares at the screen.]

He’s spotted the mention of lego

Nerd

Donatello:

We all like lego here

Probably a little too much

Leonardo:

It’s fun though

I_Crave_Chemicals:

[Video recording]

Footage of what looks like a security feed, the content in monotone colours. For a few seconds, the staticky image of the makeshift halls that run next to the brothers’ rooms is empty. Then, in the shadows, you can see Mikey scuttling around in a crab walk across the screen with a pickle in his mouth.

[Video ends]

Do I need to ban pickles???

Cheese:

i wanna know what yoga training u do to bend like that with a shell

i want in on this club

Steroids:

WHAT THE f*ck IS WRONG YOUR SHELL

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I know how you feel

Ever feel like you wanna go all exorcist at 5am?

No?

Justt me? K cool

Leonardo:

I am now scared of two versions of Michelangelo

~~Electro~~:

Walking was boring at 5am

LostTheBraincell:

Valid argument

MC-MIKEY:

Duuude i get u like u gotta spice it up!!!!!!

this is why i have my hover board yo!!!1!!

Donatello:

Oh yeah, I’ve built a few for my bros

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Hoverboard? Scoff, I did that when I was 10

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Voice note: a high pitched voice mocking “I dID tHaT whEn I wAs tEN”]

Leerless-Feeder:

Just when I got him to bed you bring up lego???

MC-MIKEY:

dude we should totally have a massive race!!!

We could make it a party with like cake and sh*t!

Donatello:

Alas, we have not mastered how to travel safely without ripping open small holes that could either spit someone out somewhere else or destroy the universe!

The amount of plot convenience it took to keep the multiverse together when we went travelling before has finally hit its limit I’m afraid

CaptainLeo:

Mikey, we’ve talked about this

No pretending to be possessed after 3am!

~~Electro~~:

Hey!!!!

Donnie looks possessed when he’s doing mad lab experiments in his lab past 3am, why don’t you tell them off

Discrimination

Cheese:

This is why I am afraid of the dark

WantsTheBraincell:

A giant race actually sounds pretty fun

As long as there are no jet powered thrusters or something the Donnies have cooked together

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@Donatello

May I get an update on the lego house for science please, multiversal brethren?

AteTheBraincell:

How do you ninja if you are scared of the dark

That’s literally a ninja thing

HasTheBraincell:

Oooooh this is going to be fun

And yes I am adding a detention channel which is just like the isolation chamber but you can only speak in it

CaptainLeo:

I can see this ending up with most of us in there to be honest

AteTheBraincell:

If Mikey gets to be a teacher I get to be a teacher

Donatello:

We are just setting up voice channels with names of the subjects, and kind of letting everyone fight it out in a nice and civilised manner

When they open up, whoever gets in there first is the “teacher” unless the role is passed onto someone else!

If, at any point, the teacher says “detention” followed by the username of the offender, they will automatically be locked in the detention channel only! At least, we are almost done programming it

Raphael:

Donatellos sure do work fast in the name of plot convenience

Also I don’t want to go to school

What then

Make me I dare you

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Get ready for the most popular kid here, moi

WantsTheBraincell:

LittleMike:

But Raphael I don’t wanna go to school without my bros!

What will I do if some bully comes and tries to steal my lunch money?

Egg:

Dude, its virtual

Bacon:

[TEACHER ASSIGNED - @~MagicMike~]

At first, a single screen pops into view, showing Orange (2018/rise) standing in a kitchen with a chef hat and an apron. Beside him, various pots and pans lie on a counter.

“Good morning class!” Orange says chirpily. Upon saying the sentence, several new screens load, displaying various versions of Leo and Don (2003). The only Leos that are not present are the Leo from universe 2023 and 2003.

“Welcome to my class: cooking basics!” Orange gestures widely to the kitchen. “And today, I want to prove that I can make you into…decent chefs – put that down!” The box turtle points at his camera.

Sheepishly, Don rubs the back of his neck and puts down the lemon he was beginning to peel.

“What are we making?” Leo (2012) asks. He is also in his kitchen, surrounded by a messy cluster of pots and pans. You can also see a hammer and a hairdryer next to him. “I didn’t know what we might need so I wanted to be prepared for anything.”

Orange gives him a flat look.

“We are not ever going to need a hammer or hairdryer.” He says bluntly before clapping his hands together in a quick movement. “Before we start, I want to introduce my pupil and helper, Blue!”

Orange pulls Blue into frame. He is wearing a chef’s hat too, and has a pair of shades over his eyes.

“Wassup! Blue here, ready to conquer cooking!” He does finger guns at the screen. Don chuckles whilst Lee (Bayverse) groans.

“Why do you need so many…” Lee prods a teaspoon which, in comparison to his large hand, is tiny in his hold. “…little things like this?” He prods it again and it bends. “Oops.”

Orange twitches but takes a deep breath.

Because we need to measure things, especially in baking! Which leads me –“

“But it’s more fun to see what happens if you don’t measure.” Don points out, raising a finger. He has an apron on, and is currently creating a stack of bowls into a pyramid as he speaks. “Baking is just chemistry, really, which is a great opportunity to –“

“No, no experimenting!” Orange interrupts.

“Aw.” Don huffs. Blue laughs.

“So first, I wanted us to all try to make basic noodles before trying anything big! I heard that some of you struggle with ramen, so I wanted to get everyone up to date with basic procedures and herbs before doing some full recipes, sound good?” Orange pulls out a pan and fills it with water to put on the stove.

On the screen, all the Leos rub the backs of their neck in embarrassment. Don is too busy making his bowl pyramid, which is wobbling dangerously.

“Ok! So, Blue –“ Orange steps away from the stove to make way for Blue. The slider can be seen approaching the oven cautiously with a wince. “- is going to turn on the knob the way I tell him to, and you guys can follow.”

Leonardo (1987) places his pan on the stove, but spills the water as he does so. Don and Leo have successfully copied Orange, whilst Lee moves off camera mumbling:

“Wait, there’s different sizes of pots? Why?!”

Orange waits patiently until he is back on screen before nodding to Blue.

“Ok, so using an electric oven, we can light the stovetop closest to us by turning the right-most dial, slowly.” Orange, as he speaks, steps away so the camera has a clear view of what Blue is doing. The Leos are leaning forward, laser-focused, whilst Don is messing with his dials on the oven. He only looks up when there is a bang and a shout from Orange’s screen.

As soon as Blue tilts the dial, the water in the pan catches fire violently, shooting a tall orange flame upwards. Blue flies backwards in shock whilst Orange yells in alarm, grabbing a fire extinguisher.

“Yeah, that keeps happening to me.” Leo says sadly, shaking his head. Leonardo hums happily.

“This is going to be fun!” He says as Blue’s mask tails catch fire.

>> CLASSROOM 2 – MENTAL WELLNESS/MEDITATION/SECRET NINJA STUFF <<

[Connection secured]

[TEACHER ASSIGNED - @WantsTheBraincell]

Several screens blink into view, the largest being Nardo’s (2003) stream. He is sat peacefully in the dojo, legs folded into a lotus position.

Leon (2023) is sat in his room, biting his lip as he tries to copy Nardo’s sitting position eagerly. Mike (Bayverse) is sat more relaxed, chewing some pizza as he watches Nardo’s screen. The final screen loads in a few seconds later than the others, revealing Michelangelo (1987) excitedly flapping his hands as he rushes onto screen, dragging a half-amused, half annoyed Raphael after him.

“You had to pick meditation, didn’t you?” Raphael asks with no real heat to his remark. Michelangelo hushes him with a smile, pulling him to the ground as they sit in the same lotus position. Due to his blind eye, for a moment Michelangelo doesn’t spot a pizza box to the side of him and almost sits on it. Raphael tugs him away with a huff.

“You almost sat on my lunch, bonehead.” He rolls his eyes but takes care in redirecting Michelangelo, who just beams at him in thanks. It looks as though they are in a shared bedroom, blankets scattered around and a space heater humming at the back.

“Everyone here?” Nardo asks. The students for the lesson nod. Nardo smiles, straightening his back. “Good. As you can probably guess, I want to share some meditation tips that I learnt during my time with The Ancient One and what my brothers use to get to the Astral Plane channel out Chi.”

“Whoa…so awesome.” Mike whispers loudly.

“Wait wait wait – you guys have powers too? Like the colour crew?” Leon asks, flapping his hands in excitement. Nardo smiles, giving a short nod and a “so-so” motion with his hand.

“We can go into the Astral Plane when we reach deep meditation, which is a place where our souls connect into each other and we can communicate basic thought and emotion. Sometimes, with effort, we can Astral Project ourselves, but this takes a lot of energy and not for beginners.” Nardo suddenly releases a find chuckle. “And as for the “powers”, we managed to activate them fully with amulets given by a Ninja Tribunal. I can access mine a little, and Angelo can actually use his quite a bit – if he chooses to focus.” The criticism is said fondly, and Nardo smiles when the other turtles in the call make noises of admiration.

“Of course all Michelangelos have a trend of getting all the mystic mumbo-jumbo stuff.” Raphael tugs Michelangelo’s bow as he says this in a fond action. Michelangelo shrugs and giggles.

“Dude I could totally have mystic superpowers, sick.” Mike says. “Could i be a wizard? A turtle wizard?! A mutant turtle wizard?!” He drops his pizza slice, making a wounded sound when it splats face first onto the dirty sewer floor he’s sitting on.

“Could you show us? Just a little?” Leon asks with bright eyes. Nardo nods, closing his eyes and furrowing his brow. It is silent for a few minutes.

A new screen pops up, Micheal’s (2023) face popping into view.

“Hey can someone help me with my math homew-“ he takes one look at the silent call and stops. “Never mind. I don’t wanna ruin your fancy meditation thing.” He then leaves the call.

After a few more moments of silence, Nardo’s skin lights up with pale blue markings that occasionally flicker. The call bursts into excited chatter.

“Me next, me next!” Mike says, thrusting his hand into the air.

>>CLASSROOM 3 – CHEMISTRY<<

[Connection secured]

[Loading participants]

[TEACHER ASSIGNED - @Donatello]

The call has several screens lighting up, all including various Michelangelos and Donatellos. The largest screen is taken up by Donatello (1987), who has a large test tube bubbling in front of him. It is being held by a clamp, heating up with a Bunsen Burner underneath. Donatello has large goggles on, holding a thin piece of metal in some tweezers.

“Add it! Add it!” Mikey (2012) chants, banging his fists on his desk. He is leant forward, a wild grin on his face. Purple (2018/rise) is no better, face basically pressed against the camera with his face twisted into a mad smile.

“Do it! In the name of chemistry!” He yells with enthusiasm. Donnie (2012) manages to raise his voice above the others, calling for Donatello to halt.

“Stop! Stop! You can’t do that!” Donnie says. He seems to be in his lab, goggles also over his eyes. There is a moment of silence before he too grins. “Do it with this kraang metal I’ve been keeping instead, then we get to see –“

“- how the two-dimensional and three-dimensional environments clash, I love you for thinking that!” Purple finishes his sentence. Donatello eagerly nods, watching as the test tube begins to glow.

“Bet you won’t do both.” Tello (2023) challenges, folding his arms and pushing up his glasses with a smug grin. Donatello raises a brow.

“You’re on.” He says. To his right, there is a short flash as the kraang metal makes its way through the multiversal mail system. Donatello picks it up, staring up at the camera.

“And now, gentle-turtles, I shall combine these two metals to our ambiguous chemical compound that may or may not have a slice of pepperoni in it!” He announces.

“My idea.” Mikey says proudly at the pepperoni comment, leaning back in his chair.

“I gotta screen record this hang on.” Tello says, pressing a button to the side of his screen. The members of the call start cheering wildly when Donatello adds the metals.

Almost instantly, the whole test tube and it’s mixture explodes. With a cut off yell, Donatello gets caught in the blast and seemingly disappears into thin air. There is no trace of him left apart from some purple sparks emitting from the test tube.

The call is completely silent. The other members look back and fourth at each other.

“Did he just…blip?” Tello asks into the silence.

“I think we just killed a teacher. I can’t go back to jail!” Mikey reels his chair back as he yells. Purple slides his goggles onto his face whilst Donnie stares at the screen in shock for a few moments.

“He’s fine…I think. On the upside, we now know that they react violently with each other.” He says.

“Do we, like, put ourselves in detention? I feel like this qualifies to get a detention?” Tello asks, blinking in bewilderment.

“You can’t take me alive!” Mikey shouts, running off screen. Purple hums in agreement to Donnie’s statement.

“That is true, fellow alternate. We should do it again.” He suggests.

“I’m putting us all in detention. I can’t live with the guilt.” Tello mutters. The stream ends.

[Live stream ended]

>>CLASSROOM 4 – WRESTING/SPORTS<<

[Connection secured]

[Loading participants]

[TEACHER ASSIGNED - @Red]

The call is a chaos of violence and yells. Red (2018/rise) is the main drive, showing all the other Raphaels on the call how to do a wresting move with Buddy, his paper foot soldier.

“So then, you gotta tackle your wrestling buddy like this!” Red tackles the soldier to the ground with a loud crash.

On another screen, Raph (2012) tackles Casey Jones to the ground. They both keep wrestling afterward, yelling curses at each other. Rafa (2003) does the same to Angelo, who returns it with the same enthusiasm. Angelo goes far enough to spit in his brother’s face.

“There’s no honour in spittin’ in people’s faces!” Red protests with a frown. Angelo whines, then is tackled by Rafa again.

“He didn’t let me be a religious studies teacher! I needed to educate everyone about the worshipping of Klunk!” He tries to argue. Red shakes his head, unimpressed.

“Rules are rules. Detention, LostTheBraincell!” The snapper says. Rafa laughs, swinging Angelo out of the room by the ankles.

“Dude I just wanted help with my math homework!” On another stream, El (2023) and Micheal are squaring up. Micheal is standing in the centre of the room, terrified, as El cracks his neck. With a wild scream, he charges at his brother, hard enough to knock the camera to the ground. Red cheers him on, clapping his hands in praise.

Lastly, the final screen shows Ra (Bayverse) and Dee fighting – however it seems more like a game of goose chase than actual wrestling. Ra is cursing at Dee as he tries to catch him, but Dee keeps scampering away.

“You’re supposed to wrestle, idiot! Get here!” Ra growls. He hisses when Dee, trying to escape, clambers up on his shell and rides him like a raging bull.

“For the record, I only agreed because you said you would get me some strawberry pop tarts later! I didn’t actually want to wrestle!” He points out, yelling when Ra slams him against the wall. Red and Rafa begin to cheer the fight on.

>> CLASSROOM 2 – MENTAL WELLNESS/MEDITATION/SECRET NINJA STUFF <<

The call is now silent. All the “students” are in mediative poses with their eyes closed. However, Mike seems to be struggling, twitching his limbs and peaking from his meditation.

With a sly grin, he burps into the silence and then giggles at this apparently great joke. Nardo opens one eye, glaring at the other turtle through the screen.

“Get out. Detention MC-MIKEY.”

“No no wait – my secret to powers –!”

>>DETENTION<<

[Connection secured]

[Loading participants]

The room is chaos. Half the participants seems to be panicking whilst the other half are either trying to recreate the detention scene from hairspray or screaming at the top of their lungs.

“What do you mean you blew up your teacher???” Raph asks. “I only bit Casey and got put in here, and I’m stuck with you crazy –“

Mikey is spinning around in his chair, screaming and making monkey noises. Tello grabs the sides of his head as he speaks to Raph.

“I couldn’t live with the guilt! What if I can’t go to college?! Do they take mutants to jail?!” He asks.

“I did not consent to this! You cannot lock me in here with these lower life forms!” Purple is yelling, typing rapidly on his computer. In the background, you can heard panicked yells and a fire alarm going off. As he speaks, Mike is trying to do the dance from Hairspray but falls flat on his face.

“Who wants to tell his brothers, that’s the question.” Donnie muses out loud. Above all the chaos, Angelo is strumming a song on his guitar, reminiscent of a jail song.

“We flew too close to the sun! And now we blew up a teacher!” Tello yells.

“Heavy, dude.” Angelo looks up at the screen when he hears the shout, before strumming his guitar again.

>>CLASSROOM 2 – HOME ECONOMICS<<

“This was a mistake! This was a mistake!” Orange is yelling. On all screens, every Leo (and Don) is creating the cooking equivalent of hell in different ways. In Orange’s own kitchen, the stovetop is on fire again, with Blue trying to extinguish it with the fire extinguisher. Somehow, this sets on fire too, and Blue is left screaming as he holds the now flaming can.

Meanwhile, Leo is panicking as his noodles are completely black, moving on their own as he prods them. The water has somehow turned brown.

“I think they need to cook a little longer, right? I don’t want anyone to get food poisoning or anything –“ he sets the heat higher despite Orange’s screams of protest.

Lee is fairing no better, having given up and is now trying to shove them in the microwave. He has left the fork in the bowl (which just has dry noodles and what must be two whole bottles of soy sauce) and so, when turning the machine on, it sparks and explodes, sending Lee crashing into a wall.

Leonardo is peacefully sipping on tea as he waits for his noodles to cook – only he hasn’t turned the stovetop on, and is stirring the cold water around with the tip of one of his katana. With the other, he is trying to cut vegetables to add, but ends up slicing the table.

Finally, Don has his noodles cooking, but is adding an ungodly amount of spices and herbs, even throwing in other foods like milk, animal crackers and coco powder.

“Stop! What are you doing, you fool?!” Orange spots him, abandoning trying to control the blaze in his own kitchen. Don begins to chatter excitedly.

“Well, I wanted to test how the different flavours would combine – according to science, the taste buds –“

Blue is screaming is pure panic as the rest of the kitchen begins to catch fire. Within the chaos, there is a loud bang and a flash of bright purple that makes the camera shudder.

The purple explosion reveals Donatello, sparking slightly with lilac electricity. He looks around at the chaos, and then down at his own hands.

“How the shell did I end up here?!” He asks. Orange and Blue pause, staring at him, before yelling and pointing in overwhelming confusion.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

A bit of light experimentation caused an explosion which has seemed to have thrown Donatello through the multiverse, stopping (by sheer luck) at our universe

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: Donatello waving at the camera, looking a little dizzy but smiling nether the less. Around him, there is a burnt kitchen with a lot of fire extinguisher everywhere. He is in a sharper ‘style’, his look more similar to rise with brighter colours and more defined outline rather than curves.]

@LittleMike dont worry hes all good

His phone is just busted it kinda blew up when getting here

LittleMike:

Donatello!

Aw man I was so worried

Still miss his mojo though

When can he come back??

The camera is blurred until it focuses, but then it displays Donatello clearly waving at the camera. The rise boys are around him, Purple prodding him with his staff with a raised brow, Blue texting on his phone but quickly glancing up to the streaming screen and Donatello frequently, Orange chatting happily to Donatello and showing him some graffiti, and Red fiddling with the camera until he’s satisfied with the angle.

“Hey guys! I’m still alive and in one piece!” Donatello greets enthusiastically. “So Raphael can probably stop trying to pick fights with our alternate brothers, if he wouldn’t mind.”

Leonardo:

[Live stream recording]

The camera is entirely taken up by Michelangelo’s face, which is pressed close to the screen. At the back of his throat you can hear anxious chittering in between breaths, echoed by the other brothers. For a moment you can only see his beak as he calls Donatello’s name, then his eyes as he watches the camera. Shortly after hearing Donatello’s voice, Michelangelo beams, looking much more relaxed.

“Get out of the way, big brother coming through.” Raphael nudges Michelangelo to the side (gently), revealing all the turtles standing staring at the screen. “Leave some room for the rest of us, why don’t ya?”

“Donatello!” Leonardo greets back with his own wave, letting out a soft sigh. When Donatello mentions Raphael’s rudeness, Leonardo chuckles whilst Raphael huffs, folding his arms. Michelangelo stays close to the camera, not taking his eyes off Donatello.

CaptainLeo:

Good to see he’s okay

Speaking of, what’s wrong with Don?

AteTheBraincell:

Personal sh*t

Hes fine

Steroids:

holy sh*t you guys are very small wtf

I could f*cking crush you

Donnie could even trust you and he’s built like a string bean

Cheese:

Omg I did not know u guys did chirps too why did no one tell me

Can we do a vc where we just chirp fr

Bread:

Thats lame

~~Electro~~:

No, our Donnie’s a string bean

Dude you can’t say that when you all are like three Leos and a ICK

Egg:

Literally looking at the code to send him back as we speak

MC-MIKEY:

god bless the donnie hotline yo

LostTheBraincell:

Classic tech support issue

Don’t you hate it when your college gets punted across a multiverse

f*ck:

hoW tf does science cause that

My donnie is too wrapped up in his lab to answer

Red:

[Live stream recording]

Donatello, who has been idly waving at Michelangelo and chatting to the rise boys quietly, reads Raph’s message and hums.

“Really, it might be plot convenience, but we did mess around with one too many chemicals this time. On the upside, we know about what not to do next time!”

Leonardo:

[Live stream recording]

“Darn right you do! Never do this again, you hear?” Raphael scolds, wagging his finger at the screen. Leonardo nods in agreement.

“I’m dreading having to explain to Master Splinter already.” The eldest huffs. Michelangelo is pressing his face close to the camera again, warbling at the back of his throat.

“Just come back before Michelangelo fuses with the camera!” Raphael rolls his eyes, but fondly. When Donatello calls out a goodbye, they all wave back apart from Michelangelo who waves with two hands, hard enough to smack Leonardo in the face as he reaches to turn the camera off.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I wouldnt stress blorbos

The donnies are having a meeting or something rn about science

Good thing we have evil geniuses on our side

>> Council Of The Dons <<

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

What did you guys do?

Egg (Violet):

Science?

Bonk (Amethyst):

This could be very very bad according to the theories you have given me over the past week or so

I mean bad as in: we could actually rip a hole in the multiverse, we probably already have

That bad

Donatello (Grape):

So the laws of science really aren’t the same as my universe huh

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Wait, your phone works?

Can someone trace the reverse ping this is crucial

I cannot I am a little strung up right now I’m afraid

Donatello:

It was reporting server errors at first but it seems to have tried to link using this universe’s multiversal signature instead

Obviously I can’t break it down too much with the conflicting technology here however

Bonk (Amethyst):

Are you alright Lavender?

And yes, I am tracing it back as we speak. Can someone do a dual check with me to see if the data is read correctly?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I have already done so, I have been lurking silently for a while. I’m afraid it’s not great news if my reading correlates with yours

Bonk (Amethyst):

The computer is still modelling mine, I had to modify a microwave so it’s taking longer than yours

Egg (Violet):

I dont have that fancy tech stuff ngl

But I got my computer with the server and the code is sending out a ping to receive grape’s signal

which is actually not um yea not good cos that’s just sending out a mass ping

so like it is calibrating universe signatures like ours to try and find grape’s but its leaving an invite at each one or at least a way to trace

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Sorry

Just a little frazzled with this whole situation, I experienced something similar and this is hitting a little too close to home

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Alas, scientific breakthroughs at the cost of potential universe collapse

Fate can be so cruel to the intelligent mind

Donatello (Purple):

It’s okay!

I should be able to get back like how I did in Lavender’s universe, I can use my phone’s signal to create an anchor back, if you will

Bonk (Amethyst):

Oh this is bad

My findings correlate to Lavender’s hypothesis and Violet’s discovery with the code!

The equivalent of a giant shockwave has been sent out!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Using this to get back is going to make everything unstable.

I mean universes joining all at once unstable!

So think of it as a leaking dam – a few invites/pings have gotten out because of leaks, but if you were to damage the dam a second time…everything comes rushing out and destroys the path

Donatello (Grape):

Oh

Oh dear

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

No

Please don’t tell me what I think you are

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am not giving up!

Science has offered many alternatives so far and will still not let me down!

And you are forgetting I have mystic science on my side (trademark pending), I shall solve this!

Donatello (Grape):

So the likelihood of me getting back has significantly dwindled?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Not unless we want all universes clashing at once

This would cause an overload that would unravel everything, I mean everything.

Donatello (Grape):

And I can’t ask the world to risk that just for one turtle. I understand.

Though I agree with Purple. Though my universal laws don’t apply here I’m sure there’s more research we can do

Two Donatellos are better than one!

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

There has to be a way you don’t understand

Our brothers cant manage without you

I’ve seen itt

I wont let this happen

Egg (Violet):

dude chill

we arent taking the L early

Bonk (Amethyst):

I hate to be that turtle, but this is almost impossible even for us

With the knowledge we have accessible it may be ages or even…never

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I

I know

But we have to try, right?

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

We will

Your family needss you

Bonk (Amethyst):

And I think we know we need them as much

But

At the risk of destroying everything??

Egg (Violet):

this actually sucks fr

Im going to go through this code again

U said u shot it with the portal gun? Maybe there’s some stuff u havent found yet that I can idk

Bonk (Amethyst):

Grape?

@Donatello

Donatello (Grape):

Can you do me a favour, all of you?

Can you not tell my family? Not yet

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

No

There’s nothing to sayy

We ar getting you back

You have to

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I will do everything I can

Bonk (Amethyst):

We always do

Bootyyyshaker9000:

There might be a way, actually

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Tell us

Please

Egg (Violet):

damn coming in clutch

spill the tea

Donatello (Grape):

Really?

Bonk (Amethyst):

Purple?

What’s wrong? I can feel your reluctance from universes away

Bootyyyshaker9000:

There could be, or I could lose everything, that’s the crux of the problem.

You see, the solution could be my little brother.

But he could die.

>> VOICE CHAT: Teetles Talking <<

[Loading participants]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

“No. No way. We promised.” Blue says seriously. There’s raised voices in the background like he is arguing with somebody. “I promised!”

Donatello:

Donatello speaks like he is in another room to Blue. It sounds larger, like he is in the sewers rather than the lair.

“I don’t want to do anything if it puts your brothers at risk. I can live with that decision.”

LittleMike:

I can’t!” Michelangelo interrupts. His voice is cracked, upset. “But I don’t want the little dude to do anything that’s gonna hurt him bad! I –“ he makes a frustrated sound.

CaptainLeo:

“It’s hard. There’s no right answer.” Leo says quietly, thoughtful. “Either Orange opens this…”

Bonk:

“Dimensional portal with his mystic abilities.” Dee gently says.

CaptainLeo:

“Yes, that. Either he does this and Donatello gets back home, or…”

LittleMike:

This time, Leonardo’s voice comes through the microphone.

“He never sees us again.” He says quietly. You can hear a sniffle and a sad chirp.

CaptainLeo:

You can hear Raph curse loudly in the background.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“There’s also the issue with the implications of ripping open a hole this large and this deep.” Donnie says into the silence. You can hear him typing rapidly on his keyboard. “You see, from what I can understand, though opening a gateway across the multiverse is more stable than something less predicable in location – like that ‘prison’ you mentioned –“

Steroids:

“An’ why is that?” Ra asks gruffly. His chair creaks.

“We can still use the signature Donatello’s phone, and himself, have clinging onto them to kind of…direct it.” Dee answers in the background, loud enough to be heard.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue is still arguing, getting louder.

“You can’t.” He sounds desperate. “I won’t let you. Right guys?”

“No! How many times do I have to say?!” Orange suddenly takes the microphone, voice laced with frustration. “I have been training my skills for a year now with my second dad, I’m much better at it! I can do this! I want to do this –“

“That’s only small stuff!” Blue yells back. “I’m putting my foot down, we can find another way –“

HasTheBraincell:

“There is no other way.” Don speaks for the first time in the call. His voice is measured, yet fragile as he continues. “There really isn’t. If there’s even a chance –“

“It’s okay.” You can hear Nardo soothe quietly beside him when he breaks off.

LittleMike:

“My family will forever be in your honour if you chose to do this.” Leonardo speaks again through Michelangelo’s phone. “But only if you are sure you can.”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“He won’t be alone. He will have our technology standing by. And Purple can build a device to safely channel the energy.” Donnie says into the silence.

Bootyyyshaker9000:

“That is correct.” Purple confirms. He sighs when Blue remains quiet. “Leo, I know we said –“

Bootyyyclapper9000:

“We promised.” Blue corrects fiercely. But just as quickly, he sounds saddened when he speaks again. “We all said, after that day, after we saw Mikey – in pain – falling apart –“

Orange interrupts, anger faded from his tone.

“And I said that about you too, when you were stuck in that coma.” He says quietly. There’s a pause, and an intake of breath. But his voice is steady when he speaks again. “But we can’t just not help. Or else we wouldn’t still be moving forward now.”

Blue chuckles wryly.

“I know. That’s what scares me. Scares us.” He responds. Another deep breath. “Okay…we’re in.”

Bootyyyshaker9000:

“I can start work on the machine. In the meantime, we can keep the blorbos in close contact with Donatello – who I hope will be telling me some sweet secrets about your instance of breaking the laws of science, yes?”

Donatello:

Chuckling, he replies.

“I’ll try! I always just believe in myself!”

LittleMike:

“Thanks. We owe you guys mondo big time, bros.” Michelangelo says, tension bleeding out of his voice.

“Thank you. For anything you can do.” Leonardo agrees. Raphael can also be mumbling a thanks.

HasTheBraincell:

“Alright then. Let’s get started.”

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

Leonardo:

Donatello update please :)

Steroids:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of Leonardo asking the same question, two minutes ago]

geez calm down

MC-MIKEY:

I HAVE A PROBLALLEMMMM

Steroids:

Shut it

AteTheBraincell:

Who’s having a stroke

Leerless-Feeder:

What did you do

Red:

@Leonardo your brother walked out and almost got us all exposed

Raphael:

Let me guess, mutants aren’t liked in your universe?

We can walk around now, most of the time

Bacon:

still wild you all save the world and no one lets you go to a pizza place in public

CaptainLeo:

Is Mike dying?

And humans are just strange like that

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a blurred picture taken of Mike with a straw half way up his nose]

HELLJKP

~~Electro~~:

I get you I hate it when that happens

~MagicMike~:

[Video recording]

The camera shakes slightly as it pans to show Donatello reaching out to grab an egg from the fridge. It’s unclear why he’s doing it comically cautiously until the egg explodes with a loud bang and panicked yell from Donatello.

[Video ends]

All out food KEEPS BLOWING UP

LostTheBraincell:

There are two very important dramas going on at once here and I am invested in both

Egg:

my fallen egg brother

Raphael:

Someone needs to explain why my brother suddenly has the power to blow up eggs and why he looks like he is over saturated

Leerless-Feeder:

Mike what did I f*cking tell you

Stop eating the f*cking straws

~~Electro~~:

NOT THE EGG

WTF

Can I have egg exploding powers

Steroids:

@Leerless-Feeder I say let him choke this time

MC-MIKEY:

HahajJHSJA KKA NOOO

~MagicMike~:

Hes been blowing up my kitchen all day

I am so close to swinging him by the ankles istg

Red:

Dunno exactly why but purple says it has something to do with his universal laws settling with ours

He’s kinda like a mini bomb

~MagicMike~:

[Video recording]

Donatello is looking at the camera, then back down at the chicken nugget lying on the table in front of him warily. His mask is soot stained, plasters decorating his hands. Most notably, his skin seems brighter, and his shoulders are decorated with various uneven and sloped squares in a lighter shade. You can also see a few of these new markings under one of his eyes.

“You want me to say “chicken” as I grab this? But why? Seems a little strange.” The 87 turtle asks, blinking down at the food. From behind the camera, Blue and Orange can be heard giggling.

“Trust me, you gotta.” Blue says. Donatello squints at him in suspicion, but then shrugs with a small “eh what the heck”.

“Chicken –“ Donatello says, and is cut off when the chicken nugget explodes in his hand.

[video ends]

CHICKEN

Egg:

omg he’s literally living the meme

LostTheBraincell:

@MC-MIKEY taking one for the team and saving the turtles

I gotta tell the cult

I mean chums

~~Electro~~:

Good chums yes good sir

MC-MIKEY:

remmbember mE

Bonk:

I’m coming Mike, don’t worry

Leonardo:

Wow, we didn’t get that reaction in other universes

MC-MIKEY

DEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Steroids:

We literally left him alone for five minutes

CaptainLeo:

Okay what are you mikeys scheming

I don’t like how suspicious you typed that

I heard that giggle from across the lair @~~Electro~~

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Red got it partially correct. It seems your Donatello is experiencing a small flux in his physics and ours, causing quite explosive reactions. It’s probably due to his sudden pull and the fact our universe is possibly got much more energy.

Of course, I can only hypothesise but I’m confident it’s temporary.

On the other hand, Donatello needs to stop trying to do things that work in his universe but do not work in ours with our physical laws. He tried to “tinker” this morning by biting a love wire

Red:

He passed out for an hour and has been banned from electrics

~~Electro~~:

Yes but electricity is nice

Tasty

CaptainLeo:

No

Leerless-Feeder:

@Bonk don’t do it

You always give in

Bonk:

I have faith one day he will stop consuming plastic straws

Bacon:

SAVE THE TURTLES

Egg:

pls tell me u arent on ur way to eat straws

Leerless-Feeder:

Whoever is sending a bunch of straws through the mail stop it

LostTheBraincell:

Teehee

WantsTheBraincell:

Stop it

And yes, Don is okay now before you ask

Raphael:

Huh, Donatello is getting all the good luck here

Leonardo:

Donatello update?

~MagicMike~:

Getting banned from my kitchen as we speak

CaptainLeo:

I really don’t like how quiet the Mikeys are

I get the donnies but is no one else concerned?

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Angelo attaching straws together in a long chain]

I don’t like it either

~~Electro~~:

Mmm plastic

Egg:

dude

MC-MIKEY:

SWEEET FREEDOOOM

Steroids:

Day ruined

MC-MIKEY:

words hurt bro

words hurt

Raphael:

I’m going to guess Donatello’s phone is still busted? Michelangelo wants to send him pictures of his plants

Bootyyyshaker9000:

It is not recommended that we use it regardless due to the risk it poses sending signals to other universes or mixing signals up.

CaptainLeo:

So how is the making of the portal thing going?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Wait where is blorb mike

Bacon:

so like when donatello tries to touch anything does it just combust

sounds like a lit power ngl Id jump a multiverse for that

~~Electro~~:

That’s what I’m saying, bro!

Egg:

what so every time he needs toilet paper he gets nuked???

yeah doesnt sound great to me

Bonk:

@Steroids @Leerless-Feeder I couldn’t not free him he was giving me the look

Bootyyyshaker9000:

You are correct in thinking the other Donatellos and I are onto it! I am currently constructing some kind of conduct so it doesn’t refract out of control, so there is minimal multiversal holes ripping open and hopefully easing the flow for Orange. This will still take approximately a couple of days, by then Orange will need to use his mystics for gain access to the multiverse and find the correct universe based on the original trace Donatello left.

This will be helped by using Blue’s ninpo as he can teleport to locations.

Everything is still in beta, I shall update when possible!

~MagicMike~:

DONATELLO JUST LEAPT OFF THE SKATE RAMP WITH A SKATEBOARD FROM LIKE 40 FEET???

Raphael:

So? Hell just bounce back up?

WantsTheBraincell:

Is he okay???

AteTheBraincell:

Is he insane???

~~Electro~~:

Is he a god???

MC-MIKEY:

mad respect broooo

Red:

Wait WHAT

Leonardo:

He should be fine? Is something wrong?

CaptainLeo:

Usually physics doesn’t involve “bouncing back up”?

Raphael:

Wait is doesn’t? What the heck?

Your cartoons must be boring to watch?

Bacon:

there’s no way he hasn’t knocked all his teeth out the hell

WantsTheBraincell:

Don’t get any ideas

LostTheBraincell:

Yeah but

He did it

~MagicMike~:

Yeah I did it once as a kid and broke my arm

Leonardo:

Wait what?

Broke? Doesn’t that only happen in movies??

Raphael:

Trust me, we know accidents can happen, but broken bones?

So is he actually hurt?

Red:

We are isolating him for his own safety

~~Electro~~:

I hope it’s a giant hamster ball

Red:

He’s a little banged up

Should be fine?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Where is little mike blorbs I need my daily dose of blorb mike

Steroids:

we dont really have that problem

well as kids maybe but now we kinda throw ourselves at walls and sh*t

Leerless-Feeder:

You mean you throw yourself at a wall when you can’t be bothered to find the door

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donatello in the med bay, waving cheerfully as Blue can be seen finishing strapping a cast to his shoulder (using his metal arm to aid him]. With his smile, you can see he has a bloodied lip but doesn’t seem to mind]

Leerless-Feeder:

[Photo ID: A video showing a super long straw (many regular straws attached together)]

WHO

MC-MIKEY:

GIGA STRAW

Raphael:

Relax Blue boy he’s with me

He fell asleep taking care of Donatello’s plants last night. He’s getting quite stressed because he can’t feel Donatello’s aura around him anymore so he’s got very fixated on taking care of these stupid little plants

Honestly who needs this many marigolds we live in a sewer not a florist’s

CaptainLeo:

I wish you luck with creating the device, let us know the moment you need anything!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Sending him a virtualll hug <3 <3

~MagicMike~:

Oh hell nah

He just tried to put an anvil in his bag

Bro just broke his foot

Two seconds after coming out of the medbay

Egg:

Lol

f*ck:

Why tf would you need an anvil

Why

~~Electro~~:

Nice to see the shortest Raph finally awake

f*ck:

Nice to see I got a nice target practice for today now

~~Electro~~:

sh*t

LostTheBraincell:

Emergency anvil

Leonardo:

To drop on people or things in action scenes?

Egg:

im tripping

theres no shot

how cartoon are u guys wtf

~MagicMike~:

[Video recording]

Orange js filming as he walks behind Donatello, who is limping back to the med bay. You can see Blue pausing to look at his phone, mid tidying up the roll of bandage, when he spots Donatello standing in the doorway.

“Again? It’s been like, twelve minutes – how are you even doing this?” Blue asks, raising a brow ridge. Donatello gives a sheepish chuckle.

“I was trying to pack my anvil before hopping over to the library?” He says.

[Video ends]

Bonk:

Well, Donatello’s universe has strange laws from what I’ve been told through notes and the weekly Donatello seminars

Objects frequently lose their mass, accelerate or de-accelerate at impossible levels and sometimes change colour? Donatello called those “animation errors”.

LostTheBraincell:

You have no idea how bad I want to go there for more than two seconds when the world is ending

Bacon:

U went to their world???

Leonardo:

So did the 20-12 universe! It was quite fun

AteTheBraincell:

The world was ending

Leonardo:

I liked it when we went to get pizza?

f*ck:

So like 3 stars????

“Better if we werent going to all die”

Raphael:

What do you mean he can’t have his lucky anvil?

What kind of show you running here??

~MagicMike~:

The kind that doesn’t blow up kitchens just by looking at them

My poor ingredients!

Egg:

My egg brothers!

Bacon:

I thought u hated ur name

Egg:

I am one of them

f*ck:

You look like one

>@f*ck has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @Egg for60 minutes<

LostTheBraincell:

Death by egg

Steroids:

>>Council Of The Dons<<

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

What’s the margin of error on your end Purple? I may be able to close it a little with some of the old Krang tech from my universe

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

What a splendid idea!

I love working with myself, I’m such a talented individual

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

What did we say about arrogance, Purple?

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

I do not recall such conversations

Egg (Violet):

Cant argue if its true tho

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

For once I agree with the goblin child

Egg (Violet):

I am so ready to yeet you out a window try me

Bonk (Amethyst):

No throwing, metaphorical or literal!

(We have chess for that)

Egg (Violet):

U. Me. Chess. 2am tonight

Imma beat ur ass

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

As much as I would love a chess tournament we have more pressing matters

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I agree, we are very talented turtles

But I also agree with Lavender

I can narrow the scope of the portal with this krang device, which still has traces of doing a similar thing. So if you combine this with Blue’s portal steering and Orange’s raw power, we may stand a chance

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

There’s still the issue of that margin being there, that’s what worries me

We could possibly send Donatello into another similar universe

Bonk (Amethyst):

I actually have a small theory that there is still room for error with any previous dimensions Donatello has gone to

Looking at Purple and Grape’s scan it looks like there may even be some residue of when he went to universe 20-12 and 20-03 so it might pull like a magnet

Egg (Violet):

so we just gotta steer harder the other way?

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Ah, the complexities of the multiverse are not in our favour. I came to a similar hypothesis to Amethyst

This means my brothers have to work extra hard

I would prefer them not to work at all actually thank you very much

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

I’m sure we can at least refine the path more

Reduce risk may give us the small margin we need

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Already on it

Bonk (Amethyst):

We are so having a spa day or something after this is successful, right?

At the very least a Tetris tournament

Egg (Violet):

100%

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

Leerless-Feeder:

Stop it

Stop sending straws

Do you know how many times Mike has been choking on them

LostTheBraincell:

Save the turtles!

Steroids:

At this point its natural selection

We can get a new Mike

Leonardo:

Donatello update?

Bread:

Yeah well my mikey tried to copy him and spent 3 hours with dad as he pulled a straw out of his nostril

Cheese:

It was either me or a cute turtle

Worthy sacrifice

~~Electro~~:

Yes, child

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donatello, who is in a glass chamber. He is covered from head to toe in bandages and casts so he can’t move, but is smiling cheerfully]

How in pizza supreme in the sky does one turtle get hurt so much because his physics are that backward

It’s been one day

Raphael:

That’s Donatello for you

Chapter 27: Operation “Get Donatello Home”

Notes:

Sorry about no upload last week! Life is kinda sh*t rn and it was worse last week. I’ll try and upload very week but the situation I’m in can change very quickly. At the very least I’ll keep you updated on my socials about any delays :)
Also sorry about any autocorrect errors, I hate word on mobile and I will sort those in the morning when it isn’t 2am (maybe)

LostTheBraincell:

No one asked you to stay

Let us talk about having two heads in peace

~~Electro~~:

*nods nods*

I_Crave_Chemicals:

*community

Cheese:

DONNIE JUMPSCARE

AteTheBraincell:

Don’t you all have a Mike chat or some cult sh*t for this?

LostTheBraincell:

That is preoccupied

Secret Mikey stuff

(Trademarked)

Cheese:

anyways, gentlemen, back to business

if i had a second head i would probably give it half my name

so we would be like

micheal

angelo

and then we would get froyo and be besties

MC-MIKEY:

ive always wanted a froyo dude u have no idea

~MagicMike~

Froyo x2

Froyo squared?

AteTheBraincell:

Shut the f*ck up about froyo

And I can’t leave I’m waiting for everything to get going

~~Electro~~:

Join us join us

I_Crave_Chemicals:

That’s why I’m here actually

I got a little side tracked for a second there, blame Mikey he was asking questions about growing an extra head

But we should be ready very soon to commence operation “Get Donatello Home”. We will be starting a video call shortly in the VC channel so every Donatello can monitor the situation and others can keep up to date.

@~MagicMike~ Purple trying to find you to get you ready

Also I believe @Leonardo @LittleMike @Raphael your Donatello wants to talk with you privately just before we start so we can leave the call for a bit until you’re ready when that happens

Let’s get Donatello back, everyone!

LostTheBraincell:

Shell yeah!

MC-MIKEY:

taking role of cheerleading squad

Cheese:

i really hope this goes ok

and yknow

without the multiverse collapsing or whatever dee was muttering in his sleep last night

~MagicMike~:

That looks like my cue

Trust me, I’m not going to stop until Donatello is back on the other side no matter what

Leonardo:

Thank you, everyone

Raphael:

What he said

Just don’t hurt yourself Orange, you hear?

~MagicMike~:

Yessir

LittleMike:

Yeah, thanks a bunch dudes! I wouldn’t worry too much, things always turn out right for us!

I just miss him :(

LostTheBraincell:

Hey, I’m sure you’ll be seeing him soon

Judging by the amount of equipment my Don has set up, no one is settling for any less

Let’s all hope this runs smoothly, yeah?

Donatello will be with you in no time!

LittleMike:

<3

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Alright, video call is starting

Everyone who wants to can hop in, but I would recommend sharing screens to not lag out the server or risk it crashing at any point

Cheese:

Good luck!

The call flickers to life, displaying a screen significantly larger than the others first. This screen displays the Rise universe and it’s inhabitants, who are all standing in front of a large machine coated in deep purple metals and flickering electricity forks. In its centre, there is a marked area where the portal will clearly be, complicated readers and screens surrounding it.

Purple is rapidly scanning all of the monitors, moving quickly from typing to assessing the data they give him. His goggles are down, his shoulders uncharacteristically tense despite apparently being in his best field of study.

Next to him, Donatello (universe 87) is aiding him, rigging up wires and quietly reading out some of the data to Purple. His face is drawn, brow furrowed, a small echo of grief flicking in the depths of his eyes. This does not go unnoticed by Michelangelo (universe 87), who’s smile drops into a frown on another screen as his brothers all surge forward to locate the genius amongst the tech.

“Donatello?” Michelangelo questions, but several more screens join the call before there is any answer.

The first screen shows Don (2003), leaning forward in his chair with a vast amount of coffee cups surrounding him. His mask is loose around his neck, showing the deep shadows under his eyes as he looks at the Rise’s universe intently.

“Are we ready to commence the first calibration?” He asks. Behind him, Nardo (2003) lays a hand on his shoulder, easing some of their tension.

“Breathe.” He murmurs. “This won’t be the same as that universe.”

Don shakes his head, biting the edge of his beak. Angelo (2003), moves forward to gently re-tie his mask over his eyes with a fond smile.

“Come on, you’ve been nerding out for days, bro! There’s no way you haven’t thought of everything in that giant brain of yours!” The remark earns a small smile from Don before he turns his attention back to his computer.

The second screen shows a similar scene – the 2012 universe and its inhabitants crowded around a computer. Donnie (2012) pulls on some goggles and swats away Mikey’s (2012) hand as it reaches for a discarded battery.

“I’m getting a few residue spikes – Amethyst was right. Not enough to be a concern yet, but –“ Donnie pauses as he flicks a few switches, pulling out what looks like a modified electric whisk. “- it has room to strengthen. Luckily Donatello hasn’t been to our universe in a while, so it’s really faint.”

“Same here.” Don replies. “We actually have some residue from his universe from when we travelled through the portal, we must have brought a bit back with us.”

Finally, two more screens blip into the call. They reveal the 2023 universe all huddled in Tello’s (2023) tent. The zip is open, showing that their Splinter is also close by, brow furrowed in worry as he rubs a notably anxious Leon’s (2023) shoulder, giving him a smile when he looks up. Tello pushes up his glasses and shifts his computer; unlike the other Donatellos he doesn’t seem to have too much equipment apart from an extra laptop. However, you can see many lines of code scrolling rapidly on this screen, which the genius is resolutely reading at a quick pace.

“His phone is still sending out that signal, just super weak. It’s like it’s slowly dying out. But I don’t know how many have already got a stronger trace and even if they would try and follow it back.” Tello types on his computer again, hunching forward. Micheal (2023) takes the opportunity to huddle closer to his brother, throwing a weighted blanket over his shell. Tello seems to appreciate the gesture briefly before his attention is brought back to the code in front of him. “So basically opening a full gateway for too long or too many times is gonna be risky.”

“We knew that. We are too far to go back now.” The last screen lights up, showing Dee (bayverse) hunched over several monitors that look to be made out of scrap mental and spare parts, clearly a DIY job. His brothers are all sat cross-legged next to him. Mike (bayverse) is drumming his leg up and down, a hand picking at his scales until Lee (bayverse) tugs it away calmly with a few murmured words the audio doesn’t catch. Ra (bayverse) is much closer to Dee, leaning over his shoulder to watch the stream with a hand clasped on his shell and a toothpick in the corner of his mouth.

“The calibrations are bringing in relative coordinates to Donatello’s universe now. I shall send them over to you.” Purple says, reaching upwards to plug in another wire. He turns to someone off screen, talking, and then Baron Draxum strides into frame with Orange and Blue, Red and their Splinter following behind. The Baron addresses the camera as surprised murmurings sound from the computer.

“I shall introduce myself quickly, as I seem to be an anomaly only localised to branches of this universe.” The yokai begins. Beside him, Orange is handed some thick arm wraps by Purple. Red gently begins to help put them on, face twisted in worry and fear. Orange only looks determined.

“I am Baron Draxum, and I have some valuable insights about the mechanics of the multiverse, at least in my universe.” Barry continues. “Needless to say, what you are trying to do is extremely reckless and it will almost certainly backfire, potentially opening up the multiverse with a strong enough power wave to alert others powerful enough to sense it, or have the equipment to do so.”

“You’re putting youselves in danger from others?” Leo (2012) asks. Draxum nods.

“There are some in this world that crave the power the multiverse will bring. If they are aware that there has been a breach, this could give them the power to travel as they please through the universes that can be traced from your signal.”

“By that, you mean most likely mine, and universe 2012’s? Because of the trace Donatello has already left in previous travels?” Don freezes, eyes widening. Nardo grips his shoulder harder. When Barry nods, more murmurings break out from the two universes in question.

“We ain’t stopping now, over some tiny chance some psycho could crawl in here?” Rafa (2003) asks, cracking his knuckles. “I’d like to see ‘em try.”

“Nothing’s going to take you away from us, Don.” The reassurance Nardo gives is almost inaudible. Angelo agrees with a nod, crouching beside his brother.

“We’ve dealt with the Shredder coming back every fortnight, you know whatever happens isn’t going to touch us.” He says enthusiastically. Don laughs weakly, relaxing slightly.

“I would do it anyway.” He says, pressing the enter key on his keyboard. “I’m not leaving Donatello stranded from his family forever.”

In the 2012 universe’s stream, you can see Donnie determinedly continuing scans and checks of the equipment as his brothers debate the risk just revealed to them.

“So what, some whack job tries to get in –“ Raph (2012) argues to Leo, who shakes his head.

“This is serious.” He says.

“And so am I! We can take them, Leo.”

“Didn’t the goat man say that it was a really small chance anyway?” Mikey (2012) points out. Barry can be seen curling his mouth in disgust at the nickname, but agrees with a short nod.

“The alternate orange one is correct. This would be very small, and your universe’s three-dimensional properties would also add another strain to this task. Simply, the longer the portal remains open the larger chance someone will notice.” He confirms.

“And we don’t want that portal open long anyway, do we?” Lee says, leaning close next to Ra. All the Donatellos nod in synch at the question.

“Orange will be opening a portal into the multiverse – something that would usually take a lot of time to then navigate, but Blue is going to use his own portalling abilities to act like a mystic steering wheel, if you will.” Purple says. He turns to look at the camera. Blue pulls out one of his katana blades, giving a confident smile at the screen.

“Don’t worry, I got this. Donatello will be in and out in a jiffy.” He says. Orange nods behind him, moving to stand on a marked podium. At the movement, you can see Blue’s expression falter, folding into concern and fear at what is to come, all directed at his youngest brother – but the moment leaves just as fast, the exterior placed back on hastily.

“As we are waiting for the final scan, may I speak to my brothers?” It’s the first time Donatello has spoken and he sounds tired, quiet. The other universe’s agree quickly, muting, deafening, and blinding (a quirk Tello created where they can no longer see any screen they pick to apply the blinding on) themselves to give privacy.

Only the 87 universe’s call remains, and Donatello, who seems to be using Orange’s phone to speak to them personally in a different room.

“You looking forward to coming back?” Leonardo asks happily. Raphael rolls his eyes with good naturedness.

“He better be! It can’t be great looking so…neon all the time. And Michelangelo has scavenged enough party pizza to last into next season!” The red-clad ninja huffs a laugh. Michelangelo grins, clapping his hands.

“It’s gonna be totally radical! I bet the pizza there doesn’t taste half as good as the classic stuff!” He beams.

All the while, Donatello strangely looks more and more forlorn at their words. He opens his mouth to say something, but their chatter interrupts.

“I don’t even know why we worried, everything always turns out fine after the commercial break.” Raphael shrugs with a cool exterior. Leonardo nods enthusiastically.

“Exactly! So there’s nothing –“

“What’s wrong?” Michelangelo’s voice asks, concerned. The elder two brothers stop their conversation, turning their attention to Donatello. The genius is looking at them with open grief now. It pulls the smiles from their beaks, and they lean closer to the camera.

“Donatello?” Leonardo murmurs. Donatello takes a deep breath and stares down at the floor as he begins to speak.

“Did you know, there is a universe where I…disappear?” The purple-clad turtle says with a soft tone. His brothers remain silent. “A universe where, one day, I don’t return. And it tears you all apart.”

“Why are you telling us this?” Raphael’s voice is sharp, but cracks at the end. Leonardo is still, stiff, disbelief fracturing in his expression as he watches his brother. Michelangelo is silent, shaking his head slightly.

“Donatello, why are you telling us this?” Raphael repeats, louder. Donatello looks up at his brothers once more, revealing the tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

“In our universe, we always get a happy ending, somehow. Whenever we are in a tight spot, something swoops in to save the day. But that’s something our universe alone has.” Donatello looks up, blinking the tears out of his eyes. “There is no ‘commercial break’, there is no ‘everything ends up alright again’ – not here, not anywhere.” He explains.

“What are you saying?” Leonardo says into the silence.

“Donatello –“ Michelangelo begins to say but Donatello interrupts him.

“There’s a very big chance this isn’t going to work.” Donatello redirects his gaze to his brothers through the screen, watching as they collapse in on themselves at the news. Watches as Leonardo’s concern turns to devastation, the way anger creeps into Raphael’s eyes before melting into dread, the way Michelangelo tears up, a silent “No” mouthed as he locks his stare into his own.

“I could get thrown into another universe…and you will never see me again.” Donatello’s voice cracks, more tears forming. “And I won’t ever see you again, either.”

“Then stay in that colourful world!” Raphael bursts out, panicked. “Donatello, we can still call you every day, and then there’s no chance –“

“No.” Donatello takes a deep breath, meeting his gaze. “Even if there’s a small chance, I’m taking it, because I can’t spend the rest of my life watching you live and not being able to be a part of that. That’s not going to happen.”

“You could…disappear?” Michelangelo is openly crying, as close to the camera as he is physically able without blocking it for his brothers. “I’d never get to…but what about the party pizza? What about your lab? Your plants! I told them you would be coming back!” Michelangelo cries out. “You can’t disappear because I don’t want you to!”

Donatello scrubs the tears away from his face. Leonardo remains silent, moving to comfort his youngest brother with a comforting chirp as his arms wrap around him. He pulls Raphael in too with this gesture, who doesn’t fight it and rips his mask off his face with a stressed movement.

“If this does happen, I just wanted to tell you something I don’t think I every got around to saying.” Donatello speaks after a moment’s silence.

“Stop it.” Raphael hisses. “Stop talking like it’s already been decided, like you’re already gone.” He spits bitterly. Donatello just looks at him sadly.

“I just…well, I wanted to say thank you.” Donatello smiles suddenly, fragile. Leonardo makes a wounded noise at the back of his throat whilst Michelangelo looks up from where he is buried against his eldest brother’s plastron. Raphael freezes, breath catching as he too turns to look at the camera.

“I wanted to thank you for being my family.” Donatello continues with a loving smile. “We may be brothers in every universe, but you’re still unique to me.”

“Donatello, please.” Leonardo’s eyes begin to tear up, arms trembling as he holds his brothers. Before he can speak, there is an inaudible call and the whirring of a machine powering up. Donatello looks to the right of the camera, then back at his brothers.

“That’s my cue.” He looks to each of his brothers separately.

“You did a great job taking care of my plants, Michelangelo. Thanks for that…I hope I get to see them again soon.” He smiles at his youngest brother. “And I can’t wait for the pizza.”

Michelangelo sobs, but gives a weak smile at his words.

Donatello then looks to Leonardo, who’s expression is grieving but somewhat understanding of his decision.

“Sorry. I know big hero moves are more of your style.” He shrugs, giving a quick smile. Leonardo, despite the tears, mock-scolds him.

“Darn right. You stay out of things next time and stop being a danger magnet.”

Donatello chuckles, finally moving his gaze towards Raphael. The red-clad ninja is determinedly not looking at him, jaw clenched as he fights his own tears. Donatello only gives him a gentle smile.

“See you later, alligator.” He says. Raphael forgets to breathe for a moment, his eyes shifting to look at the genius. This time he doesn’t fight the tears that spill, his voice a cracked whisper as he replies.

“In a while, crocodile.”

With that, Donatello releases a loud chirp of farewell that his brothers echo multiple times. They surge close to the camera with sudden urgency, but the video call cuts off a second later.

There is silence for a second, where the brothers stare at the screen where Donatello once was, but then several screens pop back into the call.

Notably, the screen from the Rise universe has changed the most, with the machine now lighting up with blue sparks. Blue stands just in the camera, eyes narrowed in concentration as he presses his sword against a flat wall that has a slit in the metal that the tip of his katana slides into. It seems to be charging the machine, the electric blue lights snaking through multiple cracks and gathering at Orange’s feet.

Orange stands on a podium, his arms thrust out and facing towards the portal. Blue’s mystic powers are gravitating towards him, crawling up his body until they reach his arms. They weave with his own markings and the light they give, one of his eyes lighting up with a blue glow rather than the orange glow that is beginning to increase intensity. The box turtle has long arm coverings up to his shoulders. Behind him, Red and Purple clasp a shoulder each, their own ninpo flickering close to them. Purple abruptly points his bō staff at the machine, sending an array of violet, glitching mystic energy to the core, which immediately is encased in a purple glow that travels so it wraps around Donatello.

Donatello himself is stood at the front of the portal, posture tensed and ready to launch himself forward. The mystics Purple gave pulse around his body, giving a layer of protection it seems.

In the 2003 universe, Don can be heard briefly explaining to Nardo about what had just occurred.

“It’s a way to keep him linked to the machine, that’s also made partially from his mystic powers. It’s like keeping him tethered by a rope, at least in theory.” Don is typing quickly on his computer as he speaks. “And it’s also to try and contain any trace of his universe leaking into others or acting as a magnet.”

“That’s the closest we could get to stop other multiverses from opening up. His phone signal has already potentially caused some irreversible damage we don’t want to push.” Donnie explains from his screen.

The rest of the screens nod, but are otherwise silent as the machine’s powering up gets louder.

“If universe 2012 or 2003 notice any portal anomalies occurring in their universe the operation needs to stop immediately. Donatello leaping to another universe could fracture things beyond repair and make him spiral out of control.” Dee informs them.

“Commencing multiversal travel. Engage!” Don orders. With a sharp nod, Orange can be seen thrusting his arms out and straining forward. Almost immediately, cracks can be seen forming at his fingertips, glowing orange underneath the wraps as he begins to form a portal.

“Readings are stable.” Donnie reports. Orange takes this as a signal to keep pushing, releasing a yell as a ball of light begins to form in between his open hands. Cracks race up his arms completely, travelling to his shoulders and shooting through Red and Purple’s hands. They grunt in pain, expressions panicked as they look down at Orange.

“It needs to be faster!” Donnie is staring at his computer, which has a small piece of krang tech lodged into its processor. “This is taking too long!”

Blue can be seen closing his eyes in concentration as the portal suddenly surges into life in a burst of orange light. The 2023 universe cheer at the action, but the older sets of brothers stay quiet, staring intently at the screens.

“Gateway 90% stable!” Dee reports, his computer chiming loudly.

On the rise screen, however, you can see Orange is succumbing to the strain despite his brother’s attempts to help. The cracks are moving up his neck and to his face, which makes Red’s eyes widen in fear.

“Mikey!” His alarmed call can barely be heard above the noise of electronics. Orange shakes his head, refusing to listen.

“I’m doing this.” He says through grit teeth. “I don’t care how much it takes from me. He’s going home.”

The mystic casing around Donatello suddenly fizzles with the orange energy, entwining with the blue that is gathered around the portal.

“100%!” Dee calls out.

“Go!” Don yells. “It’s your only chance!”

Donatello leaps into the portal without a moment’s hesitation. As soon as he makes contact with it, the room in the Rise universe seems to explode in light and sound. Their call is cut off as a pained scream rings through the explosion.

The burst of energy seems to surge through the server itself. Abruptly, all screen flicker and die.

~~Electro~~:

WHERE DID EVERYONE GO

Leerless-Feeder:

Oh thank god we are back

LostTheBraincell:

BROS

@HasTheBraincell

AteTheBraincell:

What the sh*t just happened

CaptainLeo:

Where are the 87 universe?

And the Colors?

f*ck:

Never do that again

HasTheBraincell:

Oh thank goodness

I could not find a way back

Cheese:

MIKEYS UR BACK

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@Donatello

That shockwave blew out the entire server I don’t even want to think about what that means

Steroids:

No sh*t we could feel it over here

HasTheBraincell:

@UNIVERSE_1987

@UNIVERSE_2018

Please respond

CaptainLeo:

What happened to Donatello?

MC-MIKEY:

longest five hrs of my life holy sh*ttt

Bonk:

How on earth did anyone get this server back?

I thought it was impossible!

Egg:

I had a backup from trying to mod the server a few days ago

Bread:

U have no idea how happy i am to see u guys

AteTheBraincell:

U kids okay?

And what about the color kids?

LostTheBraincell:

Mikeys gather gather gather

But seriously I think we could benefit from a huge role call

Bonk:

Wait @Egg you did this?

It cannot be stressed enough you saved the entire multiverse connection

HasTheBraincell:

@Donatello

@Bootyyyshaker9000

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Is anyone else’s universe experiencing any anomalies such as portal openings, unstable gravitational fields, dimensional changes, etc?

And yes, I believe a roll call would be very beneficial here

WantsTheBraincell:

I can speak for my universe, no known issues and we are unharmed

HasTheBraincell:

@Donatello

@Bootyyyshaker9000

Please answer

CaptainLeo:

Same here

Leerless-Feeder:

Our power went out but otherwise we are all stable right now

MC-MIKEY:

yeah litrly typin in the dark

the wave also shattered our tv

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I don’t like how big it was

This could have potential issues, weaknesses in the multiverse due to the strength of it

But we won’t know until we get contact with the two universes in question

Bacon:

obvs we are good here

AteTheBraincell:

So now it’s just a waiting game

CaptainLeo:

I fear so

~~Electro~~:

Making a formal request to force the Donatellos to get at least a week straight of sleep after this

LostTheBraincell:

Agreed

f*ck:

Oh yeah I agree

Those eye bags have eyebags

Leerless-Feeder:

Agreed

Bonk:

:(

Steroids:

Why do you hate sleep so much

Cheese:

I wouldn’t worry our dad has already booked the next two weeks off school and got his blanket out of storage ready

Egg:

Dude he did not

Bread:

Yep

Hes dead serious

HasTheBraincell:

@UNIVERSE_1987

@UNIVERSE_2018

What is your status? Can you respond?

Steroids:

sh*t

LostTheBraincell:

Give them time, dudes

Maybe after an hour we can start panicking but they did just do a whole bunch of impossible stuff, I think talking on here is the last on their minds

It will be fine!

f*ck:

I’ll believe it when I see it

Egg:

Come on man just answer

Bonk:

So @Egg you managed to pull this whole thing back together within a few hours?

Those odds are…incredible

Looking through i can obviously see some weaknesses in the code, there is one unknown signal that has sneaked through but that seemed to have been because of that ping Donatello’s phone sent out, it kind of latched onto it. But I don’t actually spot anything of concern, the security hasn’t flagged an intruder

HasTheBraincell:

Technically speaking it was a success, there are no breaches according to my data scans

@Egg thank you for managing to get this server back, it was created by fluke in the first place

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Donatello has just been shown to be online

@Donatello

HasTheBraincell:

@Donatello please give an update if you are able

If you are in danger or hurt please communicate when you are able

Cheese:

He could be hurt?

Leerless-Feeder:

The multiverse is a big place

Dangerous

Bread:

Hes gotta be ok

everyone tried so hard

CaptainLeo:

Im very concerned about the 18 universe’s silence too

Did anyone else hear that scream?

AteTheBraincell:

Of course I did

It’s killing me not knowing about them

Steroids:

i hate this waitin around sh*t

cant we call em

Egg:

idk i only put in the necessities of the server for now

it could go boom again

Donatello:

[Video recording]

The camera shows 87 April’s smiling face, eyes shining with affection, before it flips to show the view she is filming.

Immediately, you can see a huddle of turtles all hugging each other close – in particular, around one thing. They shift slightly, revealing a half laughing, half crying Donatello surrounded by the embrace of his three brothers, who are chirping and weeping openly.

Michelangelo looks like he is trying to merge with the genius brother, burying his face into his cheek and neck whist clutching around his shoulders. Draped over Donatello’s shell, Raphael has an arm around Michelangelo and the purple-banded brother, saying repeatedly “don’t ever do that goodbye speech ever again, ever.” with a choked voice. Finally, Leonardo is hugging Donatello’s other side, letting out a long churr of fondness and scrubbing his eye with the palm of his hand.

“All turtles safe and sound. Thank you so much!” April can be heard whispering before she ends the video.

[Video ends]

HasTheBraincell:

Oh thank goodness

~~Electro~~:

YO

MC-MIKEY:

LETS GOOOOOOOOI

Bonk:

Oh my gosh

CaptainLeo:

It worked!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

We actually did it

All we need now is word from the Color universe

Bread:

WantsTheBraincell:

What a relief :)

HasTheBraincell:

I still want to hear from 18

Bonk:

I am concerned, yes, but I take this victory with great joy because wow

~~Electro~~:

Ah dude I’m so HYPED FOR THEM

Donatello:

[Photo ID: a photo of all four turtles waving at the camera, all still teary eyed but with beaming smiles. Donatello has at least ten pizza boxes stacked in front of him.]

MC-MIKEY:

PIZZA PARTAAAY

Cheese:

so happy for them fr

WantsTheBraincell:

Thank you @Donatello (April?) for giving updates, my Don appreciates that it’s soothing him a little

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Greetings. I shall make this brief and to the point. Though I am pleased to see that Donatello has been returned to his universe successfully, applause to everyone

Unfortunately the mystic energy overloaded in Orange again after a spike (this was presumably when Donatello managed to cross the border to his universe, which would require an extra burst of energy my dumb dumb brother would give him even if he couldn’t manage it) and the whole machine is in disrepair.

I am fine, Red and Blue are fine apart from exhaustion, but Orange has been experiencing a few seizures but we are treating him as we speak to ease them.

Red says I should also say thank you for your concern because that is a thing that people do. But I prefer talking about science so that’s all I’m going to say.

Moving on, I will remain inactive until my stupid twin and my little brother recover enough again. But yes, I expect many praises and free pizza when we get the mailing system back online. I deserve it! And the other Donatellos must done with me also and we shall play Tetris!

I shall update in time.

Bacon:

No shot we actually did it

And nothing backfired

~~Electro~~:

WE DID IT!!

AteTheBraincell:

Finally turtle luck is on our side

Egg:

yeees tetis gang

CaptainLeo:

Wow, I agree

I was half expecting turtle luck to screw us all over even a little

MC-MIKEY:

Eatin pizza in the dark time yeeee

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Don, slumped over his desk]

As soon as he read that he passed out

f*ck:

Oh yeah

@I_Crave_Chemicals if I don’t see your ass asleep in 90 seconds I can and will knock you out

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@CaptainLeo he’s bullying me

I need to close down the simulators first

CaptainLeo:

I’m on his side

Make that 60 seconds

Egg:

Imma nap now for like 10 yrs

i also want a party for me when i wake up i did pull this server out of a dumpster fire

Cheese:

Night Donnies <3

Bacon:

@LostTheBraincell he literally passed out???

AteTheBraincell:

That’s normal for Don

It’s like a reverse adrenaline kick

Leerless-Feeder:

Dee?

Bonk:

You won’t take me alive

Come on Leo im not even tired!

I want to fix this server up a little more!

Steroids:

Nuh uh

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Literal bullying

And that’s a low blow

Bonk:

Mike?

MC-MIKEY:

Sry cant hear u over the sound of time chowing down on this pizza

Bread:

Ew I dont like that Donnie is being more sensible than me

f*ck:

10 seconds

Bacon:

Dad is entering his final form lol

[Video recording]

Splinter can be seen hurrying into the boys’ room with a thick purple blanket and a cup of water. Gently, he unzips the tent and gently murmurs to Tello, who is shuffling sleepily inside.

“Remember – glasses and screens off! We don’t want your eyes going square.” He scolds lightly, moving to place the blanket over him. Tello can be heard muttering how “that’s actually a myth, it doesn’t make any sense –“ but quiets when Splinter leans further in the tent to presumably tuck him in.

“Get some rest. Then, we have a big party, yes? Maybe even have more party foods, like those tiny versions of big food. Very fancy stuff. And birthday cake, because everyone likes birthday cake.” Splinter promises. Tello hums, giving a sleepy chuckle. A moment later, Splinter moves out of the tent with a bundle of devices in his hand and Tello’s headphones. He looks around at his other three sons.

“You all better be in bed too within the next hour. It has been a very tiring day –“ The other three brothers can be heard grumbling slightly, to which Splinter rolls his eyes and waves them off.

“Yeah, yeah I know. You say you aren’t tired but I know you are. So we are going to bed early!” Splinter moves the entrance of their room.

“Not a peep!”

[video ends]

Overprotective dad mode engaged

~~Electro~~:

You know what? I’m not going to do a dead dad joke this time

Because that was actually really cute

Leerless-Feeder:

Wow Dees gone to bed

Pop tart threats are effective

Cheese:

wow real life character development

MC-MIKEY:

imagin beeng sent to bed early

Bacon:

shut up u literally are eating pizza in the dark

Steroids:

yeah and he keeps throwing sh*t at me and I have no f*cking idea how he can see the little sh*t

MC-MIKEY:

I have skillz

corection I ate the whole box

LostTheBraincell:

be a man and eat the cardboard

f*ck:

I agree

WantsTheBraincell:

It has been a full ten minutes after finding out everything is okay after a big event and you are already back to your old ways

Cheese:

look sometimes the pizza is so good you eat the box too to savour the moment!

Leonardo:

Hello everyone! Just quickly coming in to say thank you all so so so so much! Donatello is safe and sound thanks to all of you!!!

We are hogging him all night im afraid but tomorrow you can ask away (I know the Donatellos will want to ask so many questions!) and I hope Orange and Blue recover quickly!

Thank you so much again everyone! Have a good night!

~~Electro~~:

Sweet! Happy everyone is back and safe yo!

CaptainLeo:

I’ll pass the sentiment onto Donnie when he wakes up

Or when I decide he’s allowed to look at his phone again

Bacon:

Ew mamanardo alert

AteTheBraincell:

Our Leo probably takes that name with pride

WantsTheBraincell:

Ignore him

He lies

If I had to raise you three completely I would have sent you out into the wild to fend for yourselves

LostTheBraincell:

(He’s lying)

CaptainLeo:

Silence

Isn’t it your bedtime

Steroids:

Damn u hit a nerve

And good to know the blorbos are good

MC-MIKEY:

rare softie raph moment

Steroids:

on my way to hit you with this candle Im trying to light just so you know

~~Electro~~:

Seriously, we need a giant party!

Leerless-Feeder:

Yeah, let’s leave the multiverse travel for a bit

Rather not be thrown across the universe for a slice of pizza

LostTheBraincell:

Yeah but what topping?

AteTheBraincell:

I’d sacrifice mikey for a good Hawaiian

WantsTheBraincell:

No one is throwing anyone into the multiverse thank you very much

Chapter Text

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

LostTheBraincell:

So um

We may have a problem

Just a tiny one

CaptainLeo:

What is it?

f*ck:

i dont like the way ur saying that

did something explode

LostTheBraincell:

No?

AteTheBraincell:

Is there a Donatello apart from ours on call that isn’t dead to the world right now

We are not waking our Don up

CaptainLeo:

I think they all went to bed

Mine is

Who will not be waking up unless world destruction is imminent

~~Electro~~:

Uh oh

LostTheBraincell:

So um

You know how there was a chance of instability or whatever fancy tech stuff Don said

Do you think that possibly a tiny portal to the multiverse that has showed up in our kitchen may count?

CaptainLeo:

I’m sorry what

AteTheBraincell:

It’s only a small one

WantsTheBraincell:

It’s next to our fridge

f*ck:

Excuse me what the f*ck

MC-MIKEY:

Pics

Leerless-Feeder:

I somehow think that’s not good?

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a selfie of Angelo posing next to a portal that is pulsing with bright colours, holding out a peace sign with an unamused expression. It is about the size of his head.]

Steroids:

Sick

CaptainLeo:

I would say that’s very bad yes??

WantsTheBraincell:

It’s definitely shrinking though

Just slowly

I really don’t want to wake up Don

I think we can handle it until then

f*ck:

Famous last words

CaptainLeo:

What do you mean handle it?

How can you handle a rip in the multiverse

LostTheBraincell:

Positive thinking

AteTheBraincell:

Duct tape

Steroids:

Duct tape

f*ck:

Duct tape

AteTheBraincell:

Great minds think alike

LostTheBraincell:

More like stupid minds

AteTheBraincell:

Can and will dunk you in the multiverse hole

CaptainLeo:

No, stop naming it

~~Electro~~:

Not that name, that sucks

Call it T H E V O I D

MC-MIKEY:

looks like a steve

Leerless-Feeder:

I really don’t think you should leave the problem for long

If my Donnie is faking to be asleep I can get him to take a look or at least offer an explanation

But I do want him to rest and it doesn’t seem like it’s harming you guys?

CaptainLeo:

Well yeah it’s not like a portal can start fighting back

It’s still dangerous though

LostTheBraincell:

We are combining our intelligence as we speak to at least hide it from Don until he’s rested up

It’s no biggie

CaptainLeo:

Yes, yes it is a ‘biggie’

AteTheBraincell:

Shut up we are handling it

LostTheBraincell:

[Video recording]

The camera shakes and then focuses, displaying the pulsing portal. The three remaining brothers all stare at it silently. Angelo hums.

“Maybe we could put a rug over it?” Leo suggests. “Or a sign?”

“It’s right where the fridge is dudes! What about my snacks?!” Angelo moans. Raph smacks him lightly on the back of the head.

“Shut up, do you want Don to hear?” He hisses. Angelo whines out and Leo hushes them both.

“Whatever you do, don’t let Casey –“

At that moment, a new pair of footsteps can be heard entering the room. The camera spins and turns to reveal Casey Jones standing in the doorway, a pizza box in his hand. He is wearing an easy grin.

“Hey guys! I got some pizza from that new place down at – what the heck is that?!” The human spots the portal. There is silence, then Angelo speaks.

“Bet you ten dollars you won’t jump in there right now.” As soon as the words are spoken, Leo lunges towards Casey with a loud “NO!” as Casey himself charges forward with a victorious cry of:

“I ain’t no chicken!”

[Video ends]

~~Electro~~:

Ten dollars is worth it though

Bonk:

Oh dear, what happened here?

And Leo, yes I know I’m supposed to be in bed but there was this really cool article on quantum mechanics that I wanted to do some light reading on before I settled down and before I knew it I was ten pages in please don’t take away my pop tarts

Oh wait, what on Earth happened??

AteTheBraincell:

We’re dealing with it

Bonk:

That looks like a small breach in your universe, most likely from how similar Donatello’s signature was compared to yours and also the fact he still carries traces from your universe (and vice versa)

So basically it’s wore down a little hole as this was the first thing to start breaking with the inter dimensional travel

Which might not be good, but it is fixing itself which is a very very good sign

But it’s just a weaker link, if you want to think of it that way. It’s sewing itself back together naturally but it will always be not as good as the original wall. This could maybe mean that someone could find a way to your universe but that’s also very doubtful, but if this was the case it would be from the color universe due to that being the start of the connection

f*ck:

That is a wall of text I am not reading

Bonk:

Tldr: if it’s fixing itself everything should be fine

Just maybe don’t jump in it???

Please???

LostTheBraincell:

We got busted

Damn

[Video recording]

Angelo is filming again, camera shaky as he holds it loosely to his side. In front of him, he films as his Leo is dragging a rug over the portal, covering it up.

“There. That should hold, right?” He asks. Raph hums in agreement. Mikey, however, only giggles as he focuses the camera to show a very tired Don standing behind them both with an unamused expression.]

Leerless-Feeder:

@Bonk I will let it pass if you go to bed right now

I mean it

~~Electro~~:

Yeah but for the giggles you should drop some pizza in it

See what happens

CaptainLeo:

No

LittleMike:

[Photo ID: a table which is stacked full of every combination of pizzas imaginable, ranging from accepted toppings to what looks like peanut butter cups and chilli flakes. In the centre, Donatello sits with a huge smile on his face and a party hat on his head.]

PARTY DUDES <3

LostTheBraincell:

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Video recording]

The video seems to be coming from a camera in Purple’s battle shell, located close to his shoulder. It displays a obviously drugged Orange with thick bandages wrapped around his arms and torso sitting up in a medical bed in what looks like a lab coated in a purple light. Blue has his bed pressed next to the younger’s and is also sitting up, legs swung off the side. Unlike Orange, he does not show any obvious injury apart from being paler than usual. Red can just be seen in the background, curled asleep in a pile of spare bedsheets.

Orange does not seem to be bothered by his injuries or the shaking in his arms as he waves them in the air, weakly dancing to audio that is being emitted from his phone. Blue is also dancing, laughing as he catches sight of Purple in the doorway.

The audio is just a bunch of text-to-speech sentences repeating over each other, baring from “DRUMS DRUMS DRUMS DRUMS”, “BEATBOX SOLO”, “KAZOOOOOOOOOO” chaotically mixing together and on top of each other. A few seconds later, Blue wheezes as the theme tune for Hannah Montana starts to play over the clamour of noise.

“What is the meaning of this crime against my auditory sensors?” Purple asks bluntly. “What happened within the…two minutes I was gone?”

“We’re having a rave.” Blue grins just as the text-to-speech yells “SCREAMS”.

[Video ends]

What is this, do I dare ask?

CaptainLeo:

I don’t think you want to know

Stinks of Mikey

~~Electro~~:

I smell amazing, actually

You’re just jealous of our musical skills

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I would rather take out all of my teeth with chopsticks than listen to more than that

You know

No offence

Leerless-Feeder:

Is this why Mike has been trying to design tshirts

The traitor abandoned our Christmas hip hop album

Bonk:

A crime to behold

He’s going to court for his breach in contract

Bacon:

idk sounds pretty sick

WantsTheBraincell:

No, no it doesn’t

f*ck:

I’d join the band

Bootyyyshaker9000:

It has forced me to lift the ban on other music infecting my lab workspace where I may jammy jam

Bread:

u banned music?

Cold man

its 2023 u cant do that pretty sure

Bootyyyshaker9000:

You cannot control me child

It was after Blue insisted on playing the coconut mall theme tune on loop whilst he was recovering from the invasion we allude to but never fully talk about

It was to try and get me to kick him out earlier but I am a master of the craft known as “shutting Blue up and ignoring him”

f*ck:

I am also very good at ignoring Leo

AteTheBraincell:

It’s a very talented craft I’ve managed to master too

MC-MIKEY:

NO NOT COURT

IM NOT GOING BACK TO THE HASHI

@Steroids save meeeee

Steroids:

U betrayed the hype man code idiot

Bacon:

What the heck is a hashi

Leerless-Feeder:

Where we get punished

It’s intense and tedious training

A very serious punishment for a very serious crime

Bacon:

Ew

CaptainLeo:

Also how is the hole that the 03 universe had

Is it gone now or?

AteTheBraincell:

Casey tried to jump in it again cos I told him I threw a dollar down there

WantsTheBraincell:

Thankfully it’s gone now

Which is good because I did not want to explain to April why her husband jumped into a multiversal worm hole localised in our kitchen

HasTheBraincell:

Which you thought you could hide from me?

WantsTheBraincell:

Hush

Go back to sleep or no Jurassic park later

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Do not deny a Donatello a dinosaur movie

Bread:

So glad we haven’t met a Casey yet

f*ck:

Ur Casey sounds as much as a bonehead as ours but like 20 years older how

Bonk:

Interesting

Ours is a cop

AteTheBraincell:

PPPFFFFTTT

this is gonna break his heart hang on

WantsTheBraincell:

Who let Casey jones near a police station

CaptainLeo:

That is traumatising

Steroids:

Its f*cking weird because he dont do anything by the books and just breaks the law himself trying to do his job

AteTheBraincell:

[Video recording]

Raph is snickering, holding the phone to his side secretly as he walks into the room Casey is in. The human has a large slice of pizza in one hand, a sign taped to his forehead saying “BANNED FROM JUMPING IN WORM HOLES :(” and is chatting happily with Angelo, who is crouched on a rail a few metres away from him.

Raph tells him what he has just learnt. Casey’s face drops to what can only be described as complete shock and horror.

“Oh hell no! NO!” He gets up, pulling a hockey stick out from his duffel bag and begins to hit anything in sight with deep distress at the news. Angelo bursts into laughter, falling off the rail at the information. “No way! No way!”

[Video ends]

He didn’t take it well

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I now have to live with the knowledge that a Casey is allowed to be a cop, thanks for nothing

LostTheBraincell:

See?

I changed the name of the chat to prove my hilarity

My fantastic and charming sense of humour will now forever be remembered

f*ck:

I am not being pressured into saying youre funny

Youre not funny f*ck off

LostTheBraincell:

Jealousy

I smell it

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Lil guy’s 100% weeping rn

How dare u say Angelo isnt funny

f*ck:

f*ck off youre literally a clone of him

You both lost an arm and everything

LostTheBraincell:

Brother in arm

Bootyyyclapper9000:

brother in arm

Donatello:

Was no one going to tell me there was a wormhole in your kitchen @LostTheBraincell

LostTheBraincell:

I don’t know what you’re talking about

(Guys don’t tell him)

WantsTheBraincell:

What is a wormhole?

AteTheBraincell:

What is a kitchen

Also I agree with the tiny me Angelo is not funny

LostTheBraincell:

We’ve already established that my quick wit is just too fast for your turtle brain to pick up on

I_Crave_Chemicals:

[Live stream recording]

[A live stream of a plinko game being played. Donnie’s cursor can be seen lining up the perfect angle.]

WantsTheBraincell:

Who put the petitions back on

I am flooded again with polls about whether I need a spa day

Bonk:

Yeah about that

The server stopped quite a few functions when it blew up

So polls haven’t been blocked and lots of channels are out of order

We haven’t had time to fix them yet and @Egg is the only one with the base code and I am not asking a child at 2am on a school night to turn off polls

LostTheBraincell:

Keep the polls I missed them

LittleMike:

Aww right petting zoo poll time!!!

CaptainLeo:

Not again

Please not again

Also @I_Crave_Chemicals I see you come and help pack

I_Crave_Chemicals:

[The mouse is still slowly lining up the shot, Donnie having apparently ignored Leo’s words]

Raphael:

Just shoot the darn plinko ball already

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Omg packing?

You going somewhere that likes giant ninja turtles?

LostTheBraincell:

I’ve heard the sewers in Europe are particularly glamorous at this time of year

CaptainLeo:

We are going to the farmhouse to try and relax after everything

Seeing as we only ever go there in a disaster event I thought it would be a good idea

If someone would help pack

Red:

Also calling out Blue publicly to get off his phone and take a power nap

I_Crave_Chemicals:

[The shot is perfectly lined. However, just before he fires the ball his cursor is jolted across the screen as if his arm was pushed, so it ends up being the lamest shot ever. Suddenly, lots of error messages and tabs open and close due to Donnie keyboard smashing in frustration.]

[Live stream ends]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Bro was lining that up for HOURS PFFT

LostTheBraincell:

SABOTAGE

f*ck:

Mikey ran into his room and pulled his chair out from under him

Apparently he wants to pack it???

LostTheBraincell:

Never know when you need a gaming chair

Always pack one

WantsTheBraincell:

This is exactly why you aren’t even allowed to pack a lunchbox

LostTheBraincell:

You just want to ruin a talented mind

AteTheBraincell:

I am so close to shoving your head in this bowl of cereal

Red:

Blue dont make me use big brother privileges

I will weaponise them

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Video recording]

Blue is seen grinning at the camera until it flips, revealing that he is sat crossed-legged on his bed. Opposite him, Orange is half way out of his shell, his limbs half retracted but he’s still trying to get up. Instead he keeps falling into the mattress.]

He got lost trying to find the toilet and then got scared by a potato chip

And now he can’t remember how to get out of his shell so like, what do you want me to do? Be a bad brother and not stay up to keep an eye on him??? Gasp

Bonk:

Oh I hate it when that happens

You want to get up but your shell is pretty comfy so you end up crawling around like some gremlin

Steroids:

this is why u have chronic pain u knucklehead

WantsTheBraincell:

Is Orange okay???

Donatello:

Can I have a follow up on the wormhole?

No?

HasTheBraincell:

It just kind of left

Ate our rug though and almost killed Angelo when he forgot and tried to get some food

WantsTheBraincell:

Look

The rug idea was good at the time

Raphael:

Is Orange drunk

Red:

Purple overdid the painkillers :(

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Gasp! Lies!

You, dear brother, asked for more and therefore it is not my fault under the brother code of “eldest’s word is law.”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Can confirmm

Red:

His face was all hurt in his sleep

Raph wanted to make sure he wasnt hurting

And I didnt ask you to then give him twice the limit

Raphael:

Don’t try this at home, kids

WantsTheBraincell:

How are any of you still alive

How

LostTheBraincell:

@Bonk wait you are part of the chronic pain squad???

Yes join the club

Bonk:

The string bean fit does not mesh well with a giant turtle shell let me tell you

It’s nothing from a major injury, I just get it in my spine and upper shoulders

Steroids:

And he still chooses to carry around a backpack the size of mikey

f*ck:

[Photo ID: a picture of Mikey trying to shove the fridge in a suitcase]

@CaptainLeo I’m not dealing with this you do something

MC-MIKEY:

heard my name

aw sweet polls are back

LittleMike:

Oh yeah, you’re totally gonna need a fridge for camping compadre

Maybe take two? One for snacks so you can have all your munchies

Bonk:

That’s not how fridges work

LittleMike:

I think I know how a fridge works dude

You just plug that bad boy into the ground

WantsTheBraincell:

I can’t tell if you’re serious anymore

Raphael:

He is

To be fair I think you can do it with a potato

Potato power?

Donatello:

Sounds like a fun experiment!

AteTheBraincell:

Don’t even think about it Don

HasTheBraincell:

I think I sympathise with Angelo

You really are suppressing a genius mind

Steroids:

if I see a potato im gonna eat it not plug it into somethin

f*ck:

Just a raw potato?

f*ck yeah

Bacon:

[Photo ID: a zoomed in picture of Raph’s face, eyes glinting in semi-darkness]

who is eating a raw potato and can i join them

MC-MIKEY:

wouldnt recommend dudes

speaking from tragic expirence

Raphael:

Yeah, I am not surprised you’ve eaten a potato

MC-MIKEY:

thanks <3

Cheese:

Raph I cant let you throw your life away eating raw potatoes

f*ck:

Better than algae and worms

LittleMike:

They taste so much better on pizza bro

HasTheBraincell:

Maybe don’t eat algae? Or worms?

Bacon:

Hhhnng snack

Donatello:

It depends

Turtles naturally eat insects and plants including things like algae

Though I can’t say I would do it myself

Bonk:

We were kind of fed whatever

Not worms though

Perhaps a bug or two

MC-MIKEY:

crunchy ones are fire bro ~

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Video recording]

Orange is furrowing just brow as he’s slowly moving one of his arms fully out of his shell, deep in concentration. You can see how the bandages roll up all the way to his shoulders, and the way they have a slight tremor.

“You can do it! I believe!” Blue cheers him on. Orange looks up, scowling at the camera.

“Are you filmin’ for blackmail?” He asks suspiciously, voice a little slurred. Blue switches the camera view around so you can only see his mischievous grin as he says:

“Noooo…I would never.” He winks at the camera.

[Video ends]

LostTheBraincell:

Blackmail

My favourite kind of mail

f*ck:

@CaptainLeo come and sort out our stupid brother he just tried to pack a pair of stale underwear “for emergencies”

MC-MIKEY:

smart

HasTheBraincell:

Are you sure Orange is okay?

Donatello:

I now want to create a lair full of potato powered products, I think it could be fun!

Raphael:

Oh no you set him off

As long as I don’t get turned into a toddler, cloned, shrunk, mind swapped, inflated, stretched, split into different parts of my personality, turn invisible, turn human, turn into anything that isn’t a giant sewer turtle period, don’t get teleported into a new place, don’t get super powers, don’t start glowing in the dark, did I mention not getting cloned?

If you make sure those don’t happen then I’m good

f*ck:

What the actual f*ck

Donatello:

Can I have some lenience on the cloning?

What if they aren’t evil?

Cheese:

i want in on this cartoon universe fr

Red:

I wouldnt usually approve of blackmail

But that is funny so you get a pass

We definitely need to hold this against him in a true brotherly spirit

LittleMike:

I don’t mind getting turned into an animal as long as it’s before noon

Raphael:

You drive a hard bargain

Bonk:

That is…a list

CaptainLeo:

@f*ck do you really think I can stop him at this point?

LostTheBraincell:

Yes

All Mikeys are too powerful

Bacon:

so arw we or are we not eating potatoes

WantsTheBraincell:

No

LostTheBraincell:

Yes

MC-MIKEY:

f*ck YEAH

Steroids:

Gimme ten dollars and I’ll eat 50 in two minutes

HasTheBraincell:

You will die

AteTheBraincell:

Yeah but he would have died not being a puss*

Raphael:

No eating potatoes unless they are cooked thanks

Donatello:

For science I must say yes!

Leonardo:

No, no you will not say yes

f*ck:

f*ck yeah potato time

CaptainLeo:

No

No

No

Red:

I could probably fit 50 in my mouth in one go

Cheese:

CHOMP

Bread:

Guys splinter wants us to rest up for school again tomorrow

I don’t think eating potatoes raw counts

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of Leo’s phone screen, which has a poll titled “how many raw potatoes does it take to die from potato poisoning?”]

Guys

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I was interrupted from plinko for this

Just don’t let mikey see he can and will do this

He literally drinks mutagen

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Red is not exaggerating I can confirm he could probably do it

I’m not saying it’s sensible, but it would make a good video for my YouTube channel

AteTheBraincell:

What happened to “stick to the shadows”

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I deserve fame more

Bootyyyclapper9000:

*gags*

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Actually die in a fire

Bootyyyclapper9000:

<3

f*ck:

@Bread what are you a snitch

Steroids:

Not surprised

All leos are teachers pets

I mean our leo is meditatin in his free time

Nerd

WantsTheBraincell:

This is bullying

I’m getting bullied by raphs that are younger than me

Bonk:

Genuinely forgot you were in your twenties and had a jumpscare

LostTheBraincell:

Rude

Curses at you in old man

Bacon:

>>The Chronic Pain Turtles (And Blue)<<

>@LostTheBraincell added 1 new member (s)<

Bonk:

Oh you weren’t kidding when you said you had a club

LostTheBraincell:

Nope, we got a club for everything here

You have no idea how many clubs I’m in

Bonk:

Now I must know

CaptainLeo:

Hello, welcome to our abode

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of the interface for the chat, where you can see multiple groups Angelo is in along the left hand side. They keep going until they trail off the the screen, having shown at least 15 before they cut off]

Bonk:

How

LostTheBraincell:

My charms

WantsTheBraincell:

(He’s very loud)

LostTheBraincell:

And that too

Bonk:

So what I can see in the members, it’s just two Leos and a Mikey?

Oh wait

LostTheBraincell:

Don’t mind my son he’s moral support

Chronic pain in spirit

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Sup

Bonk:

You don’t get arm pains? Or any?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Not yett anyways

Perks of being a war weapon lets gooooo

But I’m here to be moral support and actually advise as the only medic here

CaptainLeo:

I feel that’s a dig

WantsTheBraincell:

Same

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Yesterday u tried to make the pain “go away faster” by “keeping going no matter what”

WantsTheBraincell:

It was a good plan

My shell isn’t that bad anymore

LostTheBraincell:

(Yes it is)

I can fully admit my knees and lower legs are bad in general

You have a literal chunk of your shell gone and also got beat up and tossed through a window and say “I’ll walk it off”

Bonk:

Oh wow

CaptainLeo:

In case your curious I have knee problems too

Sometimes I need a crutch

I’ve had to put off my ninja duties a bit now it’s getting colder or Blue said he would skewer me with his sword through the mail system whilst I slept

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Like I said moral support

WantsTheBraincell:

Scary medic

LostTheBraincell:

Cheerleader

Bonk:

Huh

This is very neat

I would love to moan about chronic pain now if you don’t mind

LostTheBraincell:

Bitch, what else do you think we do on here

>>T o r t l e s<<

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of Red, passed out face down on the ground with loads of potatoes scattered around him]

He could not fit 50 potatoes in his mouth and passed away

A moment of silence everyone

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Don sleeping on his desk chair. He’s somehow upside down, legs in the air, with a test tube still in his hand. His mouth is open, drool dripping out of its corner.]

Bootyyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: A zoomed in picture of Purple sleeping, his tongue poking out from his snout. He is flat on his back in the centre of his lab, papers thrown everywhere. He still has his mask and goggles on, but they are both askew.]

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a very zoomed in picture of Raph sleeping, his entire face basically crushed against the camera. He has his mask off, beak curled into a half snore.]

raise u both

Raphael:

[Photo ID: a picture of Michelangelo sleeping, hanging from the ceiling by his grappling hook. His limbs seem to be completely tangled but his expression is peaceful]

You aren’t perfect yourself

Leerless-Feeder:

[Photo ID: another picture of Raph sleeping, this time his face is smushed against a window on what seems to be an apartment. He has duct tape on the lip of his shell, a few scratches on his face.]

[Photo ID: a picture of a notably younger Raph, this time sleeping in a tangle of old sheets. The picture, again, is ridiculously zoomed in so you can see the ugly snore printed on his face.]

We have a a collection of raph ugly sleeping

Leonardo:

I’m sorry but how can people sleep upside down

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What is going on here

Who do I need to ban

MC-MIKEY:

black market bro

black market

Leonardo:

For pictures of us sleeping???

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Ugly sleeping

Steroids:

who the f*ck is sh*t talkin me

what the f*ck

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Angelo asleep. It is zoomed in so you can see the sandwich still sticking half way through his beak, like he fell asleep mid eating.]

Bread:

as a bread fan i approve

f*ck:

What am I looking at

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph asleep mid snore, one eye slightly open.]

Don’t start a fight you can’t win

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of Orange asleep, his face dunked in a spilt milkshake. The straw is still in his mouth]

raise you

CaptainLeo:

[Photo ID: a picture of Mikey, Raph and Donnie asleep in a turtle pile, only it looks like they all fell asleep mid wrestling. Raph still has Mikey’s arm in his mouth, Donnie’s foot in his face. Mikey has Donnie’s bandana tails snatched in his hands, and Donnie has a slice of pizza clutched in his right hand whilst the left is grabbing Mikey’s arm.]

Literally 30 minutes ago

There’s only one take out that delivers here and thats rarely so this happened when the last pizza slice was reached

I_Crave_Chemicals:

In my defence

Dealing with you guys in an enclosed environment depletes my brain cells

Very tiring

f*ck:

dePleAtEs mY bRaInCeLLs

Shut up

>@f*ck has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @I_Crave_Chemicals for60 minutes<

LostTheBraincell:

Nooooo the chamber is back

I_Crave_Chemicals:

The polls have been removed again too

There’s some glitches with users and stuff though, which is annoying. But I am on vacation so I am politely telling them to shut the hell up

Cheese:

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph with his mouth wide open, sleeping. Donnie is grinning above him, dangling what looks like a slimy green piece of moss over his open beak.]

now, we have a situation

should we or should we not take the opportunity

MC-MIKEY:

DO IIIIIRTTTTT

~~Electro~~:

C h o m p

Leonardo:

What is that

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of Red sleeping, curled up small. On his shell, Purple and Orange seems to be in process of playing a real life version of jenga, stacking various objects into a precarious pile. Orange is getting ready to place a lamp on top of the highest thing currently at the top of the tower, which is a toaster. Purple is holding his hands steady.]

raise you again

HasTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Angelo face down in a bowl of cereal.]

He fell asleep like this for hours

I thought he drowned

Challenge raised

LostTheBraincell:

The betrayal

I thought we had an agreement Don

Bread:

mikey please dont do it i am not explaining to dad why raph died of poisoning or something

that looks like it could give you 3 diseases just by looking at it for too long

Steroids:

Why the f*ck have u guys got so many pictures of me sleeping

and when

HasTheBraincell:

You breached it not me, Angelo

LostTheBraincell:

I’m going to sneak into your room and reorder your bookshelf

Watch yourself

Raphael:

Wow, that’s cold

Egg:

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph, gagging and wiping something off his tongue. Mikey is giggling in the background.]

the demons won

HasTheBraincell:

You wouldn’t dare

I can and will terminate every games console we own

CaptainLeo:

Why does Angelo keep falling asleep in food

>@Egg invited @f*ck back into the chat<

I_Crave_Chemicals:

The worst crime

I would commit war crimes if someone rearranged my bookshelf

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I don’t need an excuse to commit war crimes

Only cowards threaten, it’s time to take action and engage in a few morally ambiguous activities!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Who let my Raph back in

Egg

Speak up.

Egg:

he called me a sheep!

i hate sheep!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a blurred picture of Red, clearly very panicked, launching upwards and spilling everything on his shell. This now includes a chair, a microwave, a house of cards and Orange (tucked into his shell).]

raised

LostTheBraincell:

Ok but @Bootyyyshaker9000 has a point let him speak

f*ck:

My thoughts exactly

Leonardo:

If I ever see you three alone together I am turning the other way and running

>@f*ck has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @I_Crave_Chemicals for120 minutes<

LostTheBraincell:

Just a teehee

A shenanigan

A bit of treason for the memories

Also Don you like Mario kart too much you wouldn’t

And I will cry, which will make you feel bad enough to make me two extra consoles

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Weak

CaptainLeo:

Like you didn’t make mikey 14 different fidget toys before we got here and surprised him

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Do you want to join Raph?

CaptainLeo:

Shutting up

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Good.

Bread:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donnie, asleep face down on the floor in the middle of an empty sewer tunnel. Nothing is around him. It is unclear why or how this happened.]

raised

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Angelo asleep on top of a fridge, clutching a giant bag of chips. He has his mask off, paint all over his arms.]

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph sleeping under the table for reasons unknown, face smashed against the wall so that drool is dragging down.]

[Photo ID: a picture of Don’s face zoomed in, showing a close up of him sleeping with his eyes open. He has a a pencil stuck to his cheek.]

Raised

Leonardo:

Again, why is Angelo only ever sleeping with or in food

AteTheBraincell:

Leo what the hell

Cheese:

to be fair chips make a great pillow

i would recommend

Leerless-Feeder:

that it such a mikey thing to say it is physically hurting me

HasTheBraincell:

@Leonardo he’s pretty bad at managing his low blood sugar because he is a little scatter brained and then gets tired before he can do anything about it

AteTheBraincell:

He’s got the attention span of a gnat

Leerless-Feeder:

thats also overwhelmingly mikey

Cheese:

I’m taking that as a compliment

~~Electro~~:

I’m not, square up square up

LittleMike:

I gotta stick to my character traits my dudes no matter what universe

LostTheBraincell:

[Video Recording]

The video is clearly older, taking place in the first lair the 2003 universe had. Angelo is giggling, his phone shakily twisting so it shows Nardo. He is stuck in a sewer pipe, trying to pull himself put furiously but his shell is wedged. He angrily stops his scrambling to glare at Angelo.

“Are you going to help me?!” He huffs. Something in Angelo’s expression must change, because his face drops. “Don’t you dare – “

Angelo, with a cheery farewell, turns and runs in the other direction. Nardo can be heard yelling his name.

“Mikey! Don’t you dare leave me here! MICHELANGELO!”

Angelo’s wheezes of laugher are cut off as the video ends.

[video ends]

You forced my hand

Leonardo:

Does it count as second hand embarrassment if it’s for your alternate self?

MC-MIKEY:

PPPPFFFFFFFTTTTTT

LOL LOL LOL

Bootyyyclapper9000:

this is exactly why I’m the cooler leo I can teleport

WantsTheBraincell:

You’re dead

You’re actually dead

You broke the pact

LostTheBraincell:

You can’t take down the battle nexus champpeppshwkk ajkak

Leonardo:

I can’t teleport but Donatello can probably whip something up

Donatello:

I can probably do something in the next hour or so yeah

Bread:

Egg:

Bacon:

Egg:

Cheese:

Raphael:

Bread:

Steroids:

Bread:

Bootyyyclapper9000:

One time I teleported to the top of the eifel tower

Another time a chipotle

Oh yea and also a hill in the middle of wales

A mcdonals in Japan

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Stop, just stop

CaptainLeo:

Anyone know why my mikey is doing some kind of summoning ritual with his phone

~~Electro~~:

@Cheese heck yeah dude! Got a bunch now

The spinning ones are sick

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of Blue sleeping, zoomed in so only his face is in frame. He has a moustache drawn under his nostrils, and fake eyelashes stuck to his eyes. Drool is everywhere.]

The cool one, everyone

Also yes I agree the fidget spinners are the best, or the button cubes. Perfect tools for a genius.

Raphael:

Why does a turtle with eyelashes look so cursed?

MC-MIKEY:

BEADS

~~Electro~~:

@CaptainLeo let me do a summoning ritual in peace

Bonk:

For the sake of our safety as a unit I would like to enquire why you are trying to summon something

LostTheBraincell:

(As Head Michelangelo I would advice you not to answer that, fellow Michaels)

Cheese:

U survived!

And I love the metal sheets that go

[Voice note: Mikey trying to imitate the sound thin metal makes when it wobbles. It’s very bad, even trailing into a half hiss at the end]

it makes me go brrr

Steroids:

Mikey shut the f*ck up about beads

he has so many necklaces now you guys aren’t helping

Leonardo:

So does our Michelangelo

I_Crave_Chemicals:

What have we said about cult activity????

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph sleeping with his tongue sticking out. He has cucumber slices over his eyes and a face mask.]

Donatello:

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Not apologising for that

Steroids:

I_Crave_Chemicals:

He’s a soft shell you dummy

They swallow lots of foods whole

MC-MIKEY:

to be fair I could tooootaly eat that in one dude

U have not seen me eat after a day in the hashi

Bread:

wait soft shell?

so that explains his robot shell

i thought he just dogged future tech vibes kinda disappointed ngl

Leerless-Feeder:

maybe we wouldn’t have that problem if you stopped getting us all in trouble @MC-MIKEY

I’m sick of getting stuck in the hashi because you want to try and throw a tv down a sewer hole

MC-MIKEY:

U couldve stopped me dude

Cheese:

does anyone have a bucket of beads i can shove my face into and see whether there is validity to their sensory fulfilment

Donatello:

[Photo ID: a picture of Raphael, asleep in a washing machine. His face is smooshed against the closed door, hands pressed against the glass like he’s been banging the door]

Oops my finger slipped :)

CaptainLeo:

I_Crave_Chemicals:

How did he manage to lock himself in a washing machine?

LostTheBraincell:

Been there before

It’s easier than you think

Raphael:

Donatello

LittleMike:

We only found him because Master Splinter tried to wash his robe

We don’t know how many cycles he was being tossed around in there for

Bacon:

LMAO

Bootyyyclapper9000:

SAD WET KITTWN ASKSKAJAJJ

Raphael:

Leonardo didn’t see me when he put his stuff in somehow!

Leonardo:

AteTheBraincell:

Steroids:

Raphael:

Donatello:

Red:

Raphael:

Only one turtle asks about my wellbeing after this traumatic event, what a surprise

Physically I am fine, but mentally I will never recover

CaptainLeo:

@~~Electro~~ what is plan J

Bonk:

Cats get caught in washing machines often

So yes, this relates to Raphael being a sad wet kitten

Egg:

Lol

~~Electro~~:

MC-MIKEY:

LostTheBraincell:

Cheese:

MC-MIKEY:

LostTheBraincell:

Kinda don’t want to be a Leo but when do we maybe let Donnie know that there may be another turtle floating around

If he finds out I’m blaming one of you guys 100%

As is the way of Father Micheal

~MagicMike~:

Maybe he’s just super shy? We did kind of

Um

Come off too strong?

MC-MIKEY:

i am hurt

~~Electro~~:

No idea what you mean

~MagicMike~:

[Video Recording]

A screen recording of a stream in the Mikey chat dated ten days ago. You can see that Mike (Bayverse) is streaming a game of space invaders against Mikey (2012). There is a another, smaller screen in the corner that seems to be a livestream of Micheal (2023) dancing. Orange himself is doing a ballet dance to the music being emitted from the game and is somehow making it work. Finally, another screen is being taken up by Angelo (2003) who is doing a handstand with three pairs of shades on his head. On his feet, he is wearing sock puppets with googly eyes and seems to be performing a puppet show. In short, the stream is chaos.

“Dude, who THE f*ck IS THAT?” Mike suddenly yells as a notification pops up on the screen. It informs that an unknown user under the name of “Mikey” has joined the chat.

Orange halts his dance so fast that he crashes to the ground. Micheal keeps dancing, unaware.

“Greetings.” Angelo makes one of the sock puppets say. The stream then crashes.

[video ends]

LostTheBraincell:

I think that was a great introduction

LittleMike:

I would totally be psyched to join in!

~MagicMike~:

Maybe he’s shy?

Cheese:

do i ping them

or will i blow up the server

i dont think i could live that down i would have to move out

LittleMike:

Cheese:

Honk

OH HECK

LostTheBraincell:

Oh sh*t plan J worked

Is your name Michelangelo by any chance?

~~Electro~~:

AA

Mikey:

Who is this?

Tell me who you are right now.

~MagicMike~:

Wait what

Mikey:

I’m not asking again.

Who are you, and how do you know my brother?

LittleMike:

Dude, try and calm down, we can explain but it’s a crazy ride

Mikey:

My brother is missing and the only contact on his phone left is you guys. So I’m going to ask one more time.

Who are you?

Chapter Text

>> ‘TISM TURTLES TEAMUP <<

AteTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording]

[A live stream that displays 2003 Don and Rafa sitting in what looks like a shared room between them. The camera is angled so you can see what they are watching on a large tv clearly, which is some kind of program about mechanics and engineering. Don is perched on an upside down stool, balancing on one of the legs casually like a gargoyle. Rafa is lounged back, knitting as he avidly watches the program. In the corner, there is a section of text on the screen that says “CURRENT LIVE STREAM TIME: 6 hrs, 2 mins” and underneath, in smaller letters, it reads “LONGEST TIME TO BEAT: 84 hours, 4 mins”.]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

So that is why I fear the ADHD sector is invading our turf again.

I have seen the signs and they are trying to set up a channel dedicated to ADHD Vs AUTISM, which could be catastrophic for us

Egg:

its chill literally just tell them to turn up at a certain time and all of them will be late lol

then we win by default

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Angelo is going to see through that, he’s the ringleader, we need to take him down

Where is our double agent when you need him

@MC-MIKEY

Egg:

Pretty sure the entire adhd gang is just mikeys lol

Like fr its just the mikey chat

Can I also say theyre acting sus right????

HasTheBraincell:

Oh yeah, 100%

I thought they were planning the ADHD uprising but now I’m not so sure

Egg:

My mikey just switched the light off in our room when i asked what he was hiding

apparently if he is still enough he thinks everyone will forget he was in there in the first place lol

Cheese:

nothing is sus!!!!

we arent sus!!! whos sus

Egg:

dude ur so bad at lying u know that???

Cheese:

im not lying

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I smell his fear

HasTheBraincell:

I would ask @I_Crave_Chemicals but he’s running tech support right now

A Leo has managed to lock himself out of his phone?

Egg:

also bro never talks here

(hes a tism turtle in denial)

Cheese:

which is a crime because we are very cool

Egg:

[Video recording]

A looping video of a poorly rendered 3D model of a rat spinning around in a circle with a low quality audio of the soundtrack to Funkytown. A counter in the corner says it has been running for 10,375 days.

[video recording ends]

we have the funky rat

AteTheBraincell:

Shut the f*ck up they’re starting to talk about motorbikes here

HasTheBraincell:

Engineering my beloved!

Egg:

Do not silence my magnum opus

MC-MIKEY:

i do not betray my fellow adhd bros

sry i have morals!!!!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Unacceptable. Cast him to the netherworld.

MC-MIKEY:

NO NO NOOOO

IM COOL U CANT BANISH COOL TURTLES

Egg:

@Cheese spill spill spill

ur sus

calling u out on the main if u dont spill

AteTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording ended]

[Photo ID: a screenshot of Rafa’s phone screen on the current chat’s menu, showing that there are two polls currently in progress. One of them is asking about engine parts and has 124 answer options, which he has filled, and another newer one is titled “what is Micheal hiding?”.]

Catch me up what the hell is going on?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Our collective youngest brothers are hiding something I fear, which is not good unless it is in the name of science. Which it won’t be.

My Mikey saw me at the doorway, seemed to have a mental and physical fight with himself, and then popped into his shell and rolled himself down the garbage chute.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

That’s regular Mikey behaviour

Cheese:

nothing is wrong

cross my heart?

Egg:

Rare @I_Crave_Chemicals sighting

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I’m only here to try and make our AI music bot gain sentience

We have very interesting conversations

I don’t know why you all insist I have “tism”

Egg:

Cuz uh

*gestures to all of you*

AteTheBraincell:

Ok it is an ad break this better be quick

I saw my Mikey throw his phone against the wall after screaming so he’s either ordered a pizza with anchovies or he’s f*cking around

Cheese:

nooo its fine

But

hypothetically

HasTheBraincell:

I do not like those italics

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am too busy trying to locate uranium to figure out the tone and Mikey is still in the garbage chute so can someone verify if he’s joking or not

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck did you do

MC-MIKEY:

DONT

(the pact bro the pact)

Cheese:

the guy is beginning to threaten little mike I feel like its beyond our expertise ngl???

I_Crave_Chemicals:

What

Bootyyyshaker9000:

My idiot twin read that over my shoulder and he’s about to cry and/or shove himself in the mailing system to punish whoever “insulted the little Mike”

AteTheBraincell:

Kid, what did you do?

Do I need to f*ck someone up

HasTheBraincell:

I’m sorry who?

Cheese:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of the Mikey chat. The unknown user, only known as “Mikey” has sent a text that reads “I don’t believe you. This is a sick trick. I am giving you ten seconds before I send a virus powerful enough to destroy your phones and everything in them ten times over.”

Underneath, you can see 2012 Mikey respond with “Well that’s not very nice.”]

Egg:

IM SORRY WHOMST

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

Donatello:

And then this caused you to lock yourself out of every device in the lair?

Including the washing machine?

f*ck:

How the f*ck do you do that

This is insane

Leerless-Feeder:

Well thats how it began

I followed your instructions I think they were wrong to be honest with you

Donatello:

I told you to turn your phone off and on again

I think you need to be studied

Bread:

How are u this bad at tech

the Leo team is really lacking rn with the social rep ngl

CaptainLeo:

You’re implying you are the only cool Leonardo

I think I’m pretty cool?

f*ck:

HA

Red:

When tech starts gettin weird I just eat it

Shuts it up fast

And I like the crunch of metal

Donatello:

There are a lot of things wrong with that text but I am smart enough to not address them

Raphael:

Agreed, Leonardos are the worst group here

The least marketable for sure

Leerless-Feeder:

All I did was turn it off and on

not my fault its bugged

Bacon:

old man

Leerless-Feeder:

I am only three years older than you f*ck off

Bacon:

THREE YEARS???

what g fuel were u given and where can I get it PLEEAASE

i wanna get buff too literally not fair

Raphael:

Ah, I remember when I was young

Just wait until you hit 20, every joint hurts because it can

CaptainLeo:

Or get ahead of the game and have chronic pain

WantsTheBraincell:

Exactly

The Leonardo team wins at something

Bread:

yeah not hyping me up for the future man

f*ck:

Stay away from rooftops and don’t ever go out alone

Also make sure you never get close to a window

Actually just stay away from windows period

Bread:

U want me to remove windows from existence???

f*ck:

Yes

Red:

Does anyone know why my Mikey is stuck in a garbage chute???

Raph senses something suspicious

WantsTheBraincell:

The Mikeys are up to something

You can just tell

CaptainLeo:

It’s like an immediate change in the atmosphere

Donatello:

@Leerless-Feeder how did you manage to create a blackout with a single button?

Steroids:

WHO THE f*ck BROKE THE LAIR

@Leerless-Feeder f*cking RUN

Cheese:

i did an oopsie

Red:

Biggest brother senses?

WantsTheBraincell:

Yes

CaptainLeo:

Yes

Wait what did you do

Bread:

mikey last time u said u did an oopsie u turned up at the lair with a shopping cart full of cool ranch and rubber ducks

Leerless-Feeder:

Its not my fault the tech broke @Steroids

Dont tell Donnie yet hes gonna flip I can fix this

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@Cheese if you count hiding a stowaway from us for almost two weeks then yes, this is what the youth may call “an oopsie”

Steroids:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donnie starting down at the texts on his phone, in particular the one mentioning how much damage Lee managed to do with one button pressed. His face is horrified, glasses slipping down his beak]

i think he knows

Also what the f*ck

Raphael:

Can’t a turtle go one chapter without drama?

Donatello:

Stop breaking the fourth wall during plot points, it disrupts the tone of the episode too much

Raphael:

The network can’t cancel us twice

f*ck:

SHUT UP

Cheese:

An optimistic oopsie??

WantsTheBraincell:

Could you clarify?

Does this mean there’s another user here?

CaptainLeo:

Mikey

Bootyyyshaker9000:

The signal was very small, only able to link through the Michelangelo chat due to reasons still unknown

However, judging by the username I would hypothesise that it’s because it’s a different version of Mikey (or at least a different version of Mikey’s phone), making them closer related

CaptainLeo:

But why him?

Donatello:

You could theoretically argue this with every one of our multiverses since Don first shot the gun. Why our universes in particular?

Some things we just don’t know and have to assume random chance

The bane of science!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

The individual is actually quite hostile, I don’t think it’s a good idea to engage them in this main chat

From what I can tell, he’s looking for potentially one of his brothers/one of his brothers are lost, most likely his Mikey due to his wording

~~Electro~~:

In my defence

I am stupid

Bread:

Why the heck would u not let us know @Cheese???

Cheese:

Peer pressure is very powerful

MC-MIKEY:

Snaaaaaaake

I wanted to like

send a virtuall pizza to him first

f*ck:

If he’s hostile let him in I’ll f*ck him up

Raphael:

If we all type in capital letters it should intimidate him enough

LostTheBraincell:

He’s not hostile I don’t think just majorly worried

My bets is that he’s a Raph

CaptainLeo:

So is this an unknown version of one of us which is using a Mikeys phone??

~~Electro~~:

Seems to be

And I think it’s a Donnie cos he threatened with a computer virus

Bacon:

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Steroids:

If he insult Mike I swear to f*cking god

WantsTheBraincell:

I imagine that’s rough on his mind

Can we talk to him?

f*ck:

FIGHT HIM

CaptainLeo:

Are you insane?

No

If he’s hostile then he might be a bad version of us

We don’t know if our theory is correct

LittleMike:

He’s sad

Really, majorly bummed out

Bonk:

I go offline for an hour to raid a junkyard to find the lair blacked out and now this oh my

Why does everything exciting happen whilst I’m gone!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Wait no way @~MagicMike~ was lying to his dear brotherrs

Scandal

But yeah throw his ass on the curb we are too cool for him

HasTheBraincell:

That’s not a valid reason I’m afraid

I would really like to talk to him if he has lost his brothers

Bread:

@Bacon stop trying so hard to fight someone

LostTheBraincell:

I think he’s about to put malware into my phone

He doesn’t believe we are alternate versions of his universe

I sent him 203 selfies

somehow he’s not impressed

CaptainLeo:

If he agrees to stop virtually attacking people

LittleMike:

He’s scared dude

Real scared his bro is gone

WantsTheBraincell:

You can say we wouldn’t do the same?

f*ck:

f*ck, I wanted a fight

Steroids:

U can virtually fight me again its cool

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I banned virtual wresting

Stop it

f*ck:

No.

Red:

You get your Donnie stuff let us keep the wrestling!

Raphael:

And can I point out that the Leonardos are allowed to have their space nerd club which put my Leonardo in a stretcher last week when some dice got thrown into the mail system so violently they gave him a black eye?

CaptainLeo:

It was entirely justified, and it sounds mean out of context

Bread:

No context is needed @CaptainLeo got mad that @Leonardo started his own campaign within the campaign

salty as hell

Steroids:

Man I need to watch one of these nerd DND sessions

WantsTheBraincell:

They always start with the ambition to be calm but it isn’t my fault if the odds are biased against me

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Sidetracking!

CaptainLeo:

I did not send you loaded dice @WantsTheBraincell you just get bad roles

~~Electro~~:

I think he’s lying not gonna lie

CaptainLeo:

Mikey, stop stirring the pot

LostTheBraincell:

I stand by my leo

Loaded dice

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I might just let him in, I’m bored anyway and I don’t have to follow orders because I outrank everyone here intellectually if I say so myself

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Mikey, keep stirring the pot

MC-MIKEY:

D R A M A

Bacon:

OMG A LEO FIGHT????

WantsTheBraincell:

There’s no way I get that many bad roles, just saying

Leerless-Feeder:

My phone is smoking @Donatello

Or any donnie

Help me

Bonk:

Wow, this really has gotten off topic

I’m surprised we lasted 30 seconds, according to the averages I calculated the attention span of us as a whole decreases exponentially with every Michelangelo added to the conversation

f*ck:

Yeah f*ck it let him in

Cheese:

no hes scary

like im shaking just thinking about his cirial threats

Egg:

Coward

Cheese:

happy to admit it ngl

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I think we should mute almost everyone however

LostTheBraincell:

YOU DARE MUTE ME

CaptainLeo:

It’s a 20 sided dice how am I supposed to make that weighted????

Leonardo:

I was caught in the crossfire

LittleMike:

The stranger dude is just really worried about his bro, please don’t treat him all uncool and stuff

I want to try and be friends with him but he’s gone silent on the chat which is a major bummer

Donatello:

@Leerless-Feeder find a Donatello that can actually do more tech support, I think you are beyond help

Red:

Eat the phone?

MC-MIKEY:

ill eat it!!!!!!11!

Bonk:

I don’t think that’s nutritionally sound

Anyway, I gotta hustle before Lee blows up the New York sewer system, ping me if anything big happens!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Shut up

Everyone shut up

I swear

I am

Losing it

Do you want this guy in or not?!

~~Electro~~:

[Voice note: Mikey screams loudly: “DON’T LET HIM MUTE US! BE LOUDER, DEAFEN THIS FOOL, YO!”]

WantsTheBraincell:

I think you can make any dice weighted, actually

LostTheBraincell:

Saw it with my own eyes, unfair dude!

It’s rigged!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I’m going to add him

@HasTheBraincell calm down these heathens they only somewhat listen to you or your version of Raph

Egg:

noooo hes getting mom

snitch snitch snitch

AteTheBraincell:

Stop calling me mom it wasn’t funny the first 200 times kid

Egg:

yes mom

Bread:

@AteTheBraincell Dude u sent us all knitted jumpers when we said we wanted clothes that fit us better for school

thats mom behaviour (trademarked)

~MagicMike~:

HEHNALP IM IN A CHUTTE E

~~Electro~~:

Pretty sure I saw @CaptainLeo doing something suspicious with the dice just saying

CaptainLeo:

No you didn’t stop lying

Why are you like this

Raphael:

I’m not sure what you were expecting, all of us here are really bad at staying on one topic

And there’s a lot of characters now, and more to be added? This is chaos

Leonardo:

All I know is that I was the victim

LostTheBraincell:

Now the villain insults an innocent Michelangelo! Whatever next?!

Bacon:

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I am kicking anyone who talks from this point fourth to the isolation chamber if it’s not important, this is actually serious why are you fighting over dice

WantsTheBraincell:

I was defending my honour

But yes, I agree, it may bombard them

HasTheBraincell:

Ignore @AteTheBraincell he’s upset you interrupted our engineering/motorbike/garage repair documentary marathon

But if everyone could please be quiet, I believe we have a channel dedicated to virtual and verbal fights created by @Egg when he wanted to insult @Bootyyyshaker9000’s YouTube channel, so you might want to take it there if you don’t mind

f*ck:

He’s using the power of politeness on us

f*ck

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a tiny plastic baby in a cube of ice]

Ice, ice baby

>@LostTheBraincell has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @I_Crave_Chemicals fornot the babies again please never let him out I cant do this sh*t again <

Bootyyyshaker9000:

My statistics say he’s currently active again

Steroids:

What is this bullsh*t don’t shut me up

~~Electro~~:

*sad trumpet*

LittleMike:

I think that’s because I tried to message him privately

I think he’s a Donnie dudes, but he’s not answering anymore he just asked us to leave his brother’s phone alone?

>@Steroids has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @I_Crave_Chemicals for 20 minutes <

>@~~Electro~~ has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @I_Crave_Chemicals for20 minutes<

Bonk:

I still can’t find much of his trace in the server code at all, which is odd

It’s like he barely got in here

It begs the question of, if he is not even a Mikey, how did his phone receive the signal if no one was using it?

The multiverse and this whole chat room idea is wonky as it is, but this seems to be actively going against any of the logic we also established

Donatello:

I mean, it was because of my universe right?

Your ideas of “logic”, or cannon so to speak, are much more rigid and defined compared to mine

I found that, when in another universe, everything is too consistent! Perhaps some of my universe’s lore, therefore (seeing as it was my universe that did this) influenced it? The ultimate coincidence

Leonardo:

It’s strange how you guys have one idea defined and stick to it, he has a point

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Quite a curious hypothesis, I would love to investigate later

Leerless-Feeder:

If he does anything hostile he’s out though, right?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Wiped from existence

Kicked

Thrown out

Egg:

Yeeted

Bread:

What the heck happened to his Mikey?

f*ck:

Seems like we’re gonna find out

Red:

I can’t imagine Mikey not being there

CaptainLeo:

We don’t know that’s the case yet

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Right, I’m going to invite him

Everyone refrain from asking things, or physically restrain yourself if you don’t think you can follow that instruction for all I care

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Still dont think this is a good idea

Don’t wanna be boring but sriously hes come from nowhere

HasTheBraincell:

I need to talk to him

Can we seriously ignore him, knowing that somewhere a Mikey is missing? Could you? Could any of us?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

What can we do???

WantsTheBraincell:

He can’t use this signal to make a crossing through the multiverse right?

Bonk:

No, it’s way too weak

WantsTheBraincell:

Then I think we are safe from backlash

We can’t just walk away

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Yeaaahhh I know thats why its annoying

Got me curious now

But we do kick his ass if he is evil or sh*t, right? Agreed?

Egg:

to the backrooms!

LittleMike:

He’s not dangerous dudes

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Inviting the user. Stand by.

Raphael:

Hey, wouldn’t this be a really annoying time to cut off a chapter and leave it on a cliffhanger?

Yeah, can’t imagine that would ever happ-

I’m really sorry it’s so late, my bad (again)

Chapter Text

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

>@I_Crave_Chemicals has added @Mikey to all group chats<

HasTheBraincell:

@Mikey

Hello, I understand that you have been sceptical of this whole situation, but please check the pinned messages (where we show all of our faces in photos) before you make your conclusion. I am Donatello from universe 20-03, ready to help with any questions you have :)

~~Electro~~:

I also pinned a pic of my ice cream cat

And when I say a picture I mean at least 26 because she deserves it

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Who let you out of your prison cell?!

Egg:

@Mikey who actually are u if not mikey

identify fraud kills just saying

big yikes

WantsTheBraincell:

I am Leonardo of universe 20-03, also happy to help

We have each of our universes attached in our user descriptions, or at least should do

I am aware my Mikey has just made his profile description full of horrible one arm puns, ignore that

f*ck:

Warning you now @Mikey you better not start being a sh*thead to my bros or youll regret it

Leerless-Feeder:

I also stand by that statement.

Red:

Agreed :(

LittleMike:

He didn’t mean it!!

Egg:

hes ghosting is fr

Leonardo:

I am Leonardo of 19-87 if you couldn’t guess already :)

CaptainLeo:

@f*ck stop picking fights, we need to give him a chance before trying to insult him!

HasTheBraincell:

@Mikey I see you are online, do you mind acknowledging us? Even if you aren’t comfortable with talking if would be beneficial.

Cheese:

nah keep him away he scares me

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@Mikey need help with a keyboard bud???

He really is blanking us omg rude

I_Crave_Chemicals:

He’s making me more curious and I hate it

Bacon:

maybe he wants to act all mysterious??

like batman but phone

Donatello:

He’s reading our messages at least?

~MagicMike~:

Maybe he’s nervous?

Raphael:

Didn’t seem that way before when you showed us the messages he sent you guys not gonna lie

AteTheBraincell:

Well, I’m gonna go out with Casey this is boring as sh*t

WantsTheBraincell:

It’s been ten minutes

~~Electro~~:

@Bootyyyshaker9000 I bribed a council member with pop tarts

Not gonna mention any names

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Betrayal!

Bonk:

I refuse to comment

HasTheBraincell:

@Mikey there’s no rush, please take your time despite what others may say here :)

f*ck:

Ignore him he’s too polite

Talk

Why do you have your mikeys phone

LittleMike:

Don’t be so mean dude

Not cool he’s bummed out

Leerless-Feeder:

At least a name?

Mikey:

I don’t have to talk to you, you know that?

Multiverse or not

Raphael:

Good morning to you too, sunshine

HasTheBraincell:

I understand your thoughts, thank you for responding despite your discomfort however, it is greatly appreciated.

Mikey:

Don’t start up that that kindness act, it doesn’t last forever.

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck did you just say to my brother?!

CaptainLeo:

Try and calm down if you can, we don’t want any fights here

Egg:

damn u cold as heck

Bacon:

*cough* edglord *cough*

Donatello:

I don’t think egging him on is going to work somehow

f*ck:

Aw hell nah

LittleMike:

No fighting dudes! Totally uncool right now!

Mikey:

Of course, a Leonardo telling me what I need to feel. Fantastic

What do I have to do to stop you messaging this number? That is, unless you were lying and know something about where my little brother is?

Cheese:

this is why he scares me man!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Rest assured, your snark is getting you nowhere nor is it dissuading my questions

You can leave any time, but I may have locked this phone from doing so until I get just a few answers

For my own little collection, then you may go back to whatever you do when not threatening 14 year olds kids on a discord knock off

Leerless-Feeder:

Who are you actually

Thats what I wanna know

HasTheBraincell:

Everyone please, take a step backwards!

Cheese:

wait u locked me in with him

uuuauauhhjj

WantsTheBraincell:

Why are you so hostile towards us?

We are still brothers, no matter the multiverse

Mikey:

Brothers? No, that isn’t true.

You were, once

The only brother I had is now missing because of me, so excuse me if I don’t want to listen to any of you

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Missing?

Bacon:

what do u mean missing

Leerless-Feeder:

You disowned your own family?

Egg:

this is much deeper than i wanted to go, oof

LittleMike:

Dude, we only want to help you get your Michelangelo again, or help see if we can figure out where he might be <3

It’s totally not your fault dude

HasTheBraincell:

Missing?

CaptainLeo:

Please don’t let “oof” be a response to bad event

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Yea but id call getting thrown into a prison dimension a big ooof

so I disagree and as the coolest leo what I say goes

Also segway – I say we kick this angry donnie (?) MUY RÁPIDO

AteTheBraincell:

Ok what the f*ck is going on here

Why is Don upset

Leonardo:

Why do you think he’s a Donatello?

I can’t see my Donatello acting like this

f*ck:

Say who the f*ck you are

Mikey:

I don’t need to tell you sh*t.

Please stop texting this number. It is clear you know nothing about my brother’s whereabouts so I’m going to move my time onto actually finding him, thanks

Leonardo:

Wait, what happened?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I will not stop pinging you until you answer the questions I sent over to your device and return the answer form within 3 working days

Red:

Not the time to gather data! This guy thinks he can say he’s disowned half of the family! You can’t do that, it ain’t what brothers do!

Bread:

@Egg i can see u trying to hack him stop

Egg:

SHHHHHHHH U SNITCH

HasTheBraincell:

Maybe don’t hold someone hostage who we want to make peace with, @Bootyyyshaker9000?

Leerless-Feeder:

We have done nothing to piss you off @Mikey so why are you up our shells over nothing

LittleMike:

What happened to your other bros @Mikey?

I don’t think I could ever split with mine, it would be super scary

Totally cool if you don’t wanna talk about it, I can get my Donatello to unlock the chats for you dude.

CaptainLeo:

We always have each other’s back

Mikey:

No, you don’t

AteTheBraincell:

You don’t know what the f*ck youre talking about

Mikey:

Just let me leave

You complain about my hostility but I never wanted to engage here. I just wanted to try and find some leads

~~Electro~~:

This is actually kinda depressing

Donatello:

A Michelangelo, missing? That’s enough to make me depressed just thinking about it!

LittleMike:

Don’t be all sad bro :(

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Come on its so obvs a donnie

Only a nerd punctuates like that in text

Also been sh*t talking alt me and Raph

<@Mikey has left the chat>

Bonk:

And…he’s gone

He just left

Raphael:

Wow, drama king

Egg:

am i gonna end up like that??

Cheese:

Ur too cool for that

AteTheBraincell:

Good f*ckin riddance

LittleMike:

Come on, dudes, don’t be so mean!

He has his little bro missing and he blames himself, I really wanna help him :(

CaptainLeo:

Still, he was hostile

And hated Leos and Raphs as a group, which is the majority of us here

>@Bonk has unlocked all chats for 2 user(s) <

Steroids:

What the f*ck was that??????

Why the f*ck does he hate us so much and what happened to his mike

I_Crave_Chemicals:

This is definitely not how I was planning this event to go

I hate to say it but I think we are out of our depth here? He clearly has issues that we are only making worse

LittleMike:

He blames himself dude

We can help him change his thinking!

Leonardo:

I don’t think he wanted us to help him

Bacon:

Does this mean other mikeys are gonna go missing too?????

U know

like how some things are all canon or whatever they say in the spider verse movie

Bread:

Canon event?

~MagicMike~:

I don’t want to be a snitch but

He’s still in the Michelangelo chat only

(You didn’t hear it from me)

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Let me in

He took the time to answer my form in a way I very much do not appreciate!

[Photo ID: a screenshot of the form Purple had made. In the corner you can see it’s 131 pages long and is full of questions about the user’s universe, ranging from “would you say you live in a two dimensional or three dimensional world?” to “how many toes do you have? And do they look like paws or feet?”]

Red:

It’s…blank?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Precisely! Villainous behaviour!

WantsTheBraincell:

@LostTheBraincell where are you?

You’ve been suspiciously silent and I’m trying to decide whether that’s an indicator of something is serious or you are trying to start a roof bonfire with Casey

Cheese:

(Orange is a snitch pass it on)

Bootyyyclapper9000:

K he was carrying issues, not gonna deny that

A mikey missing is rough

But caution is definitely the way to do things we cant just try and help someone who is fighting us

Cant bite the hand that feeds you and all that

~~Electro~~:

In other news:

[Photo ID: Donnie is busy texting on his phone whilst sitting on a grassy field. Next to him, there is an open picnic basket with various foods. It is slowly getting invaded by birds, which are taking what looks like sandwiches and cookies]

Do I tell him his food is being stolen or nah

~MagicMike~:

I wasn’t snitching I was just stating some truths

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a picture showing Raph lunging towards the bird with a long stick that has pine cones on the end. He’s covered in scrapes of dirt, like he has been exploring the woodland before hand. His face is furious.]

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph with feathers scattered on the floor around him. His face is much calmer and somewhat proud as he is handing the sandwich that was going to be stolen to Donnie. It is notably beaten up with some feathers on top. Donnie has looked up from his phone and is looking up at Raph with a beyond confused expression.]

Bonk:

If a bird stole my sandwich would you have my back like this @Steroids

Leonardo:

Poor bird

Bacon:

YEAH ANOTHER RAPH DUB

Raphael:

Michelangelo just made the most undignified shriek at that

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Dearest Orange, could you pretty please let me into the Mikey chat?

You are aware I can hack the code, right?

HasTheBraincell:

@WantsTheBraincell Angelo went out

Seemed focused about something?

Steroids:

A focused mike??

Red:

Raph can beat up birds easily!

Not chickens though

Theyre demons

Raphael:

There’s no way an alternate me got beaten up by a bunch of flightless birds

I’m embarrassed

~MagicMike~:

Nuh uh Dee

You said you can’t come in if we lock you out

Secret Michelangelo stuff only!!

Leerless-Feeder:

How is it michelangelo stuff if one of you in there isn’t even a mikey then

WantsTheBraincell:

@HasTheBraincell did he say where he was going?

Steroids:

K why the f*ck is my mike gone too

Usually hes natterin about some tv show to me right now

And yeah id happily throw a bird for a sandwich

Bacon:

its not fair u guys are so big u could probably pick up a pigeon in one hand and yeet it into the sun

Bread:

Why would u want to throw a bird into the sun

~~Electro~~:

Ok kinda serious moment here but drop the Mikey chat stuff, ok dudes?

We’ve got it handled

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Im holding you to that

Red:

No?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

They say theyve got it handled so im chill with it tbh

But then again, I will cutely rip open the multiverse to drop kick this guy if he makes orange cry

f*ck:

You cant just say that and expect me to not want to throw hands

CaptainLeo:

Are you sure???

I don’t think this is a good idea

Bootyyyshaker9000:

If anything, Orange will make him cry instead

Bonk:

I knew Raphie got my back against the evil demons known as pigeons (っ´∀`)っ

Steroids:

Stop distracting me from being angry dammit

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Alas, I am nothing if not a turtle of my word @~MagicMike~, you defeat me

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck did chickens do to you?

And did we seriously just lose Angelo @WantsTheBraincell he’s literally the loudest sh*thead alive

Bread:

@Cheese stop trying to hide in the cupboard for the bit I can see you

Cheese:

but i gotta go missing like the other guys

and the imposter Mikey scares me

HasTheBraincell:

He can’t actually reach you, you know that right?

And he’s very clearly upset, I wouldn’t take anything personally

But I do want to hear more details about the missing version of Mikey, just in case anything aligns with what I know about a similar event happening in another universe.

Cheese:

he could get me in my sleep

f*ck:

Hes not the boogeyman wtf

Bacon:

Imma eat chicken nuggets everyday to defeat all chickens

~~Electro~~:

Ew

Serious moment over

Look

⁽₍੭ ՞̑ ළ̫̉ ՞̑₎⁾੭

Red:

WHAT IS THAT

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Mikey what the shell

Egg:

Skskskakakkaaa

HasTheBraincell:

I am banning that forever, I hate it

AteTheBraincell:

So everyone’s Mikey is kind of going quiet?

Donatello:

[Video recording]

Donatello’s camera is focused on filming a small chemical reaction in a test tube. In the background, you can see Leonardo reading his phone from opposite the table, drinking some tea. Suddenly, as his eyes look to the bottom of the screen, he inhales his tea and starts choking in shock at the sight of the emote just sent. Donatello makes confused chirp as Leonardo keeps coughing.

“Hang in there, Leonardo!” Unexpectedly, Raphael dashes into the room and tackles Leonardo to the ground, who is still wheezing.

[video ends]

Leerless-Feeder:

So is everyone just gonna ignore the angry Donatello (or what seems to be) who hates me and raphs guts??

WantsTheBraincell:

We need to proceed with caution, I think, but not isolate him

I know what it’s like to lose yourself in the endless cycle of self blame

I would be a hypocrite if I pushed him away for the same behaviour which I did when I was caught up in the same way

HasTheBraincell:

All signs point towards him being a Donatello

I have to admit that I am even stubborn in the sense that I, if threatened, will sway more to the hostile side and stay that way until something changes my mind. I don’t think we should force questions onto him until he wants to answer, and let him leave fully if he wants

I want to help him reunite with his lost Michelangelo, but if he’s adamant he doesn’t want help I’m afraid he will stick to this

WantsTheBraincell:

That’s true, I will say

Usagi was telling me about how Don was overprotective of me to the point he was hissing at him if he looked in my direction

HasTheBraincell:

In my defence

Someone tried to assassinate you

Bread:

Wait what

Bacon:

someone tries to assassinate leo too???

f*ck:

It happens a lot

Everyone hates leo it seems

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Rude

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Stubborn?

Laughs in disbelief!

Leonardo:

I agree with @HasTheBraincell

Steroids:

I f*cking don’t

Mikes frowning at his phone and walked off

Hes causing that

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck did he do to get his mikey missing that’s what I wanna know

f*ck:

Stop making me feel bad for hating him

Bonk:

@Bacon the amount of chicken nuggets you would need to consume would be astronomical to wipe out all chickens within your life span

Actually, what is your life span, seeing as turtles can live a long time? That’s a question that might vary because

Y’know

Giant turtles

Bacon:

U havent seen me when i get hangry

i could

Bread:

He could

Egg:

He could

Cheese:

he could

Bootyyyclapper9000:

What kind of convo starter is that

Hey kids do you know when you are going to die

Donatello:

I’ve heard worse

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Hmmmm

I give them an hour

Then I break through the controls and snoop around

I think I’m being reasonable

Red:

Sign me up for the chicken nuggets plan

I think that could work if we both do it

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I like that thinking

But dont cry to me when you get your shell kicked by dr delicate touch

Bonk:

Who?

f*ck:

Don’t ask

Raphael:

Every Raphael has fought against him and lost

You think chickens are bad?

This guy is unhinged

HasTheBraincell:

He made Rafa sit and stare at a wall in the corner for an hour it was that traumatic apparently

I’ve never had the opportunity to see this side of him

f*ck:

Don’t

CaptainLeo:

The yelling got so loud that humans started searching around us with noise complaints

Bread:

What did you do to annoy him that bad???

f*ck:

I called him short

Don’t call him short

Don’t

Leerless-Feeder:

But he is

I can throw him with one hand

Raphael:

STOP

~MagicMike~:

WHO SAID THAT

>>Cult Of The Michelangelo<<

LittleMike:

@Mikey are you still here dude?

You gotta stay! We can help you out!

Mikey:

By what? Telling me what I don’t already know?

LostTheBraincell:

You’re forgetting we are Michelangelo

At the end of it all we are branches of each other

All jokes aside, we are one of the same at our core. You will never understand why your brother is missing as much as we do because it’s still us

MC-MIKEY:

so what can we do to help??

we can figure out which bad guy got him!

Mikey:

What?

Oh, you misunderstand

He wasn’t kidnapped

He ran away by himself

Because of us. Because of me.

LittleMike:

He left you guys?

Mikey:

What don’t you understand?

He left by himself and I don’t know where, but you want to know something I am certain of?

He isn’t coming back.

LostTheBraincell:

I suspected as much

You mentioned something like that at the start, how you blamed yourself

And you know why?

Mikey:

We neglected him

I neglected him

And I need to make up for that and find him

I need to tell him he was the last good thing I had and I took that for granted

~~Electro~~:

He was hurt and he ran because he felt like he wasn’t appreciated, right? Because his brothers would rather cast him aside to each other like some unwanted burden rather than simply be with him, right?

That everyone doubted him, that everyone got mad at him?

Mikey:

What do you mean?

LostTheBraincell:

It’s like I said

We are Michelangelo

MC-MIKEY:

always with a head in the clouds right?

~MagicMike ~:

Do you think you could tell us what happened?

Mikey:

It seems you already know exactly what happened

I don’t have to tell you anything

I just found this group on my little brother’s phone, who hasn’t been seen in almost a week, and I thought that there was a chance he had a secret friend that he confided to. But it turns out I was incorrect.

I am wasting what time I have searching for him.

LittleMike:

What about your bros?

Mikey:

I don’t have any other brothers

Cheese:

what do u mean?

we stick together like glue no matter what

Mikey:

Get off my case. I told you

I don’t have any other brothers, not since two years ago. It was always me and Mikey, the B team

And then somehow I forgot that between the years, and I became just like them

MC-MIKEY:

No

no way leo or raph wouldnt help

Mikey:

Seriously? Have you not realised by now?

Our great Fearless Leader is too busy thinking he’s always right that he thinks it’s “just a phase” with Mikey. Raphael is no better, forgiving him so easily and then asking me why I am not

Like he had to spend two years working to try and support the family

No, he just played vigilante and left me to be leader, fighting me at every turn and barely looking at my little brother, who would stay up every night until he returned from whatever bullsh*t he got up to just to get snapped at.

And I was no better. I got bitter and somehow it fell onto the only person that still gave a sh*t about me

LostTheBraincell:

Two years?

Wait, did your Leo leave you too?

~~Electro~~:

That’s not the reason he ran

Mikey:

What?

LittleMike:

You split up in your universe too?

Mikey:

What do you mean, that’s not the reason he ran?

Nothing changed. And Mikey grew more withdrawn and no one gave a sh*t.

I was supposed to be there for him. We made a pact

~~Electro~~:

Yes, but that’s something that happens almost all the time with me, and for other Mikeys too

LostTheBraincell:

He’s right

I don’t care about the fact that Raph doesn’t realise I’ve waited for him when he’s out all night

I didn’t care when Leo withdrew from us all and became cold and bitter

I didn’t even care when my Don snapped at me when he was overtired

You know why? Because Mikeys have a habit of loving their bros to the very end, even stupidly to the point where we make ourselves look like fools of it means you smile again

MC-MIKEY:

without us youd all be doom and gloom

i dont mind being the butt of jokes for that

LittleMike:

I would do anything for my bros

I would never run away for that, not forever

Mikey:

I used to talk to him everyday after Leo left but I got so wrapped up in myself that I ended up not caring

But he never stopped, and I didn’t even f*cking realise. And then after Leo returns it’s all the same only Leo acts like he knows better and hes done no wrong

And Mikey

f*ck

He kept going.

What do you mean that’s not why?

~~Electro~~:

I didn’t run because I was getting neglected or whatever dude, not totally

I can’t speak for your Mikey but I ran because I felt like I wasn’t a part of my brothers anymore

That I was always going to be the last one picked, the last thought

I wasn’t sad, you have it wrong there

I was angry

Like nothing I had ever felt

Everything was trying to go back to normal around me and I wanted that, but I also selfishly didn’t because I had actually felt like I was being seen more, or was going to be

~MagicMike~:

I’m lucky enough where my dynamic with my brothers is a little different, but I’ve only ever considered leaving for the same reasons

Cheese:

Really?

I dont feel that at all

Kinda feel outta place now with this convo but

MC-MIKEY:

My bros need me yo

nvr left

But theres something you’re still being secret about bro

How come your mike left so quick???

Like theres gotta be a tipping point

Mikey:

Oh god

I have to fix this

I need to find him

You don’t understand he left after a big argument with my Leonardo, who is supposed to be a brother but can’t get past his own self pride because he lost a fight against my Mikey and won’t go and find him

LostTheBraincell:

He fought Leo?

Cheese:

Oh shoot

LittleMike:

It’s still not your fault, please don’t be way too hard on yourself dude

If you care enough to try and fix what happened then I can tell you got a huge heart for him <3

Mikey:

No, you have me wrong, so wrong

You remind me of him so much, always seeing the good

I don’t

You don’t know what I thought about during those two years

God, I wished I didn’t have any brothers at all. That the great tech wizard would then be free to move on and get out of this hell hole

Its always been just me and Mikey for the last two years as far as I am concerned and I broke that

Cheese:

Let me guess, B Team code???

me and Donnie have that

~~Electro~~:

Always the sidelines, right?

MC-MIKEY:

So your Leo got beat by your mikey and Mikey ran soon after

Rough dude

Idk what exactly youre going through but I’m totally ready to try and give some secrets on where mikes like to go!!

LostTheBraincell:

He won’t be found unless he wants to be, I’m sorry

Mikey:

Yeah, I know that

For all I know he’s out of new york

I wouldn’t blame him

LittleMike:

Cheer up Mr Tech!!!

We can totally try and help though!!

You just have to trust us <3

Mikey:

Mr Tech?

Cheese:

ok calling u that makes u waaaay less scary

u threatened a child I’ll have u know earlier

Mikey:

You are indicating that I am now changed in my ways

I am only here under a false hope and, in a moment of weakness justified by seeing multiple versions of my missing little brother, spilling a bit of personal information

You don’t know anything about me

I am going to look for my brother, if you don’t mind

LittleMike:

Mr tech wizard! Because you’re like a tech wizard like you said before!

Tech:

You changed my brother’s contact?

Please change it back

Cheese:

u cannot claim the Mikey name u arent one of the chosen

~MagicMike~:

Please stay though, dont leave

We can help

We can at least help get your relationship with your brothers back on track or keep you company!

LostTheBraincell:

I really want to make sure you’re taking care of yourself, Tech

Even if not actually a Mikey you are with us

I don’t want you leaving and then blaming yourself forever

I said that your Mikey doesn’t want to be found, yes

But I’ve experienced a similar conflicting feeling

He doesn’t want to be found but needs to be. He needs you to find him

So stay?

MC-MIKEY:

Don’t blame yourself

Tech:

It was my fault

It was all our fault

I don’t want to ‘fix’ the relationship with my so-called brothers. They are no brothers of mine

But my little brother is alone out there because I failed to keep a promise

If you can prove you can help I will keep this contact on his phone

But I refuse to interact with any other chat

~MagicMike~:

So you’ll stay?

And actually talk to us every now and then?

Tech:

You’re kids

I’m not ‘talking to you’ about anything

LostTheBraincell:

Um sir I am an adult and so is @~~Electro~~ for sure, who knows with @LittleMike

LittleMike:

My age has to stay ambiguous for marketing, sorry dude

But not a kid!

Cheese:

@~MagicMike~ someone called u short on the main

~MagicMike~:

HELL NAH

Excuse me gentlemen (and Angelo)

MC-MIKEY:

Dude we arent asking you to be a saint or some sh*t

you arnt perfect but being all perfect is suuuper boing

and your mike knows that if hes like us

Tech:

I’ll stay, only because you could be useful

LostTheBraincell:

I want daily updates though

About you

I’ve seen what it’s like to blame yourself

Cheese:

i mean we can have like an uno session or something every day

~~Electro~~:

Last time I played uno I ate the deck

LostTheBraincell:

When we play uno my Don always adds at least 5 sets of cards so we have days of one game

Tech:

You know, my Mikey did something similar to try and cheer me up in the early days

He tried to play uni with me but with several different types of card sets because we just used what we could find

It was fun, actually, but I never told him that

LostTheBraincell:

You don’t have to tell us that, we can always tell and that makes us truly happy

Good to know Mikeys are consistently the best at uno

LittleMike:

What’s uno?

Cheese:

crying rn

MC-MIKEY:

thats actualy traumatizing dude what the f*ck

~~Electro~~:

Chapter Text

>>f*ck Windows<<

Bootyyyclapper9000:

loooong story short I now owe a skeleton a lint ball and part of his spinal column but I did get the number of the new waiter so idk I think thatts worth it ;)

CaptainLeo:

So are we not talking about the angry Donatello that is currently in the server?

WantsTheBraincell:

I don’t think stealing a piece of someone’s spinal column is worth it I’m going to be honest

Leerless-Feeder:

What is there to say apart from he hates our guts??

If my donnie ever ends up like that I really don’t know what I would do

The difference between them is night and day

Bootyyyclapper9000:

ExcuZe me for trying to spice up this chat a bit and hype up old leo to ask out usagi

WantsTheBraincell:

I am not ‘asking out’ Usagi-san

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Usagi-san senpai

WantsTheBraincell:

Quiet

Leonardo:

I know what you mean

Watching my Donatello currently try and make the Eiffel Tower out of tooth picks and I can’t say I imagine him cursing everyone out and disowning us

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Then don’t think about it? Its not our donnies

Bread:

how could u not???

is my donnie going to hate me too in the future or

WantsTheBraincell:

Calm down, I highly doubt it

It seems like something big happened between him, his raph and his version of us

Not to mention he is missing his Mikey

Leerless-Feeder:

I agree with blue here

thats not my donnie

I dont want anything to do with him

CaptainLeo:

I don’t think he wants anything to do with us so that shouldn’t be hard

I think he is only speaking in the Mikey chat, my Mikey has been oddly protective of it when he usually shows us messages from there

Leonardo:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donatello sprawled on the floor, covered in fallen toothpicks]

Raph pushed him :(

Bread:

L

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I dont think I would blame purple if he decided that one day he had had enough of me but raph?? Scandalous

WantsTheBraincell:

My Raph and Don are thick as thieves

CaptainLeo:

It makes you think what the shell happened

Leerless-Feeder:

As long as it doesnt happen to my brothers im happy

Half the time its like herding geese getting them to do anything but wouldnt trade it now

Can you believe I wanted to at one point?

CaptainLeo:

Same

Stupid idea

Bread:

dude i dont even lead my bros properly yet

Like it happened once but that was literally with a giant godzilla knock off

How do u guys get your bros to listen to u??

WantsTheBraincell:

You’re lucky in the aspect that you haven’t had any serious missions until very recently so there has been no need to lead

Bread:

thats fair

i hear some of the stuff u guys say and it’s like whoa

does that really happen to us?

Bootyclapper9000:

Seems like the universe hates us

Trying to get us down all the time which is just rude

Leonardo:

With this new Donatello I think all we can do is let him do his own thing

He’s not really doing anything apart from be angry at us? He can choose to leave whenever he wants so maybe he is a little in need of help but won’t say?

CaptainLeo:

Donnie does have a habit of not asking for help

WantsTheBraincell:

Tell me about it

Bootyyyclapper9000:

his forehead too big

fat ego machine

Bread:

tell me about it

Leerless-Feeder:

What

Let him just roam free

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Free range donnie

WantsTheBraincell:

I think he’s under the Mikey protection anyway

The only things that usually get that right are usually paper clips, pizza, and Klunk

Bread:

if orange is anything to go by then I am not crossing that

Leerless-Feeder:

I was verbally assaulted by a four foot turtle for three f*cking hours

I called him short because its true

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I saw you start to cry after hour 2 lol

Leonardo:

My Michelangelo really wants to set up the mailing system for this new Donatello

CaptainLeo:

Why do Mikeys insist on making friends with everything it makes our jobs so much harder sometimes

Bread:

one time my Mikey spent three hours trying to persuade a rat to come stay with us and “catch up with family”

it didnt end well

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I would like to snoop around and keep tabs on the new donnie anyways

I wanna know what alt me did so bad

Smells like d r a m a

WantsTheBraincell:

No

Leonardo:

I have a feeling that Donatello would find a way to fight you through dimensions if you annoyed him enough

Bread:

dude he got annoyed because someone was too nice

giving him not enough cred here

Leerless-Feeder:

Why do I feel so old reading every text from blue and bread

Bread:

Stop calling me bread

We agreed leon :(

Bootyyyclapper9000:

You cant just ask for a nickname

You need to earn it

CaptainLeo:

You are actually Bread so what’s the problem

Bread:

Im tired of being the bread

Leonardo:

I know how you feel

WantsTheBraincell:

What happened to this discussion

What does this have to do with the other Donatello

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I think Orange is calling him tech

CaptainLeo:

Oh no they’ve named him

Leonardo:

Well we can’t kick him out now

Leerless-Feeder:

Yes we can

I’ll get mikey a pizza to make up for it

He’ll get over it

Bread:

U really dont like this donnie

Sniping him out

Leerless-Feeder:

Like I said, thats not my donnie and never will be

I see him as a threat until we know for sure what happened between his brothers

CaptainLeo:

We aren’t strangers to having flaws

Leonardo:

You suspect that Tech is the one in the wrong, or did something?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@CaptainLeo *cough* having a crush on your sister *cough*

Bread:

[Photo ID: a close-up selfie of Leon, who’s face is completely horrified and disgusted]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Wait no one told the little guy???

Omg

Bread:

AAH

CaptainLeo:

I didn’t know she was my sister

Blue you said you wouldn’t tell

WantsTheBraincell:

@Leerless-Feeder I don’t know, it is very possible he was hurt by his Leo at least

I hurt my family for some time because I was also in pain, until I almost hurt my own father

Leonardo:

What did we say about self loathing :(

Don’t blame yourself!

Bread:

why am i going to be such a danger magnet i dont need more anxiety thanks

i have a test tomorrow if i end up getting yeeted through a window after that im blaming u guys

Leerless-Feeder:

You can’t be sure

I wouldn’t hurt my family

CaptainLeo:

Just don’t decide to go out on your own in the rain

Or go out on your own

Or go out

Or go

Bread:

K, i will try and stop existing

Leerless-Feeder:

If it makes you feel better I havent been thrown through a window yet

Leonardo:

I did, but that was on me

I wasn’t watching where I was going and didn’t see the glass and just kept going?

In my defence the pizza was going to get cold and I wanted to make it to April’s apartment before movie night started

CaptainLeo:

It’s not fair your world even gets a nicer window event than me

Bread:

so its like a cannon event

Whether im being stupid or get whacked by a cheese grater

Bootyyyclapper9000:

when do i bring up the inter dimensional hell portal

WantsTheBraincell:

Stop scaring the kid

You’ll be fine, don’t worry

Leonardo:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donatello, in the process of creating another toothpick sculpture on Raphael’s shell. Raphael is slumped forward on the table, looking miserable but not moving]

I got Raphael to be the table as punishment

Bread:

Ngl if that was my raph he would probably eat the toothpicks

CaptainLeo:

This conversation has bounced a lot between serious and whether a Raph would or wouldn’t eat toothpicks

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I mean

As a tldr

Tech is a wildcard that should be watched right?

Leerless-Feeder:

We arent giving him a special name

Stop naming him

Bread:

i mean its either that or we call him like the anti-donnie or something stupider

CaptainLeo:

Yes, that’s a pretty on point summary

WantsTheBraincell:

Please refrain from judging him so quickly

I have a feeling I know how he feels

Leonardo:

Do you think we will ever meet his brothers?

What about his Mikey, if he really is missing…

Bread:

yeah ngl dont think hes gonna decide to invite alt us anytime soon

unless he has a major character arc moment

WantsTheBraincell:

That’s what I mean

His youngest brother is missing

And for some reason we don’t know, he has all but disowned his Leo and Raph

These events are probably connected, or less from another

I would not mark him as antagonistic even if he seems that way

Leerless-Feeder:

Still doesnt mean I have to like him

Leonardo:

I really don’t like the thought of a missing Michelangelo

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Yeah not thinking abouut that

Instead im going to change the subject to bullying @CaptainLeo having a crush on his sister and my gram gram because thats f*cked up

CaptainLeo:

SHUT UP

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

Bacon:

@Tech

Ur lurkin in the mikey chat i got ur ass

Leave my mikey alone

Steroids:

Agreed

LittleMike:

He’s not doing anything bad dudes!

He’s not even talking right now if you want me to be completely honest with you guys he’s just gone all mysterious and quiet again

@Donatello can we set up the super radical mail thing with him? I want to send him some fabuloso stuff to cheer him up!

f*ck:

I’m sorry, he has a name now?

Who let mikey name something now he wants to keep him

~MagicMike~:

‘Tis the rules

You have to let us keep him now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

CaptainLeo:

No, no it doesn’t mean that

AteTheBraincell:

Ffs Mikey stop adopting stuff

Bonk:

Completely irrelevant but I need to share the fact that Shelly is at full happiness!!!

She took a hit when Mikey dropped her down the sink but I have dedicated many hours into reviving her to full health <3

Steroids:

Shut the f*ck up about shelly

Cheese:

can anyone help me with my math hw i am not feeling its love

~~Electro~~:

*begging turtle noises*

CaptainLeo:

Dare I ask

Bread:

Dude i told u it was covered in class today, I believe u can do it!!

Bacon:

U still struggling with that?

Just dump it man

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I would but right now I am busy dissecting this co*ckroach brain

f*ck:

Excuse me whilst I puke

Raphael:

Ah yes, typical family camping activity I assume?

CaptainLeo:

[Photo ID: a picture of all the turtles sitting outside on a picnic table. It is late evening, the sun low in the sky as they have a variety of dinner items around them from a barbecue. However, rather than eating, the table displays various amounts of chaos from each member: Donnie is dissecting a co*ckroach with chopsticks, holding a magnifying glass over one eye and sticking out his tongue. Raph is blurred, hunched over the edge of the table looking ready to puke. Mikey is sat upside down in a half handstand on the table itself, trying to eat what is left on his plate in the strange position. Half of Leo’s unamused face is on the edge of the camera as he takes the picture from over his shoulder. For some unknown reason, he has his mask off and a giant leaf headdress on his head.]

Camping with the family

LostTheBraincell:

Mmmmm co*ckroach

Red:

They do have a nice crunch

AteTheBraincell:

@Cheese I agree dump that sh*t

Cheese:

but the teachers say it will help me understand :(

im not exactly the best at classes rn

HasTheBraincell:

Experience is the best teacher!

I would also help but I am in the process of doing a daylight run to the closest junk yard, when is it due?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Cringes in disgust

Biology isn’t really my thing, my genius mind is a little too sensitive to some of the more graphical aspects

Bootyyyclapper9000:

(he faints)

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Hiss

Red:

No hissing over text

No hissing period

Stop hissing Raph can hear you

Bacon:

the teachers are wrong ur fine

Bonk:

[Photo ID: a picture of a custom made tamagotchi, coloured purple in the shape of a turtle with yellow eyes. On the carapace is a small screen, chipped and scratched with age, with all the readings lit up.

Shelly!!

I’ve had her since I was very small

Leerless-Feeder:

Donnie we banned you from getting that thing out for patrol

Last time you almost fell off a roof because you were distracted by it

LostTheBraincell:

*her

Respect the life

Steroids:

Dont f*cking encourage him

Bacon:

@Tech imagine ghosting

Bread:

Ur poking the bear man

WantsTheBraincell:

Leave him alone

Cheese:

weeping rn what is a fraction and why do I have to KFC it???

what does kfc have to do with this bro I thought it was CHICKEN

~MagicMike~:

Ok but that bbq looks so good!

CaptainLeo:

We got Casey to make it

We did not know how that worked despite being almost 20

LostTheBraincell:

Don can I pretty please have a tamagotchi

MC-MIKEY:

[Video recording]

Mikey can be heard snickering as he zooms in the camera, which currently shows Donnie muttering to Shelly, who is cupped in his hands. Leo is standing in front of him, his hand held out expectedly.

“You know the rules.” The eldest says. Donnie looks up.

“Nope. She needs me. Can’t you see that from her face?” The genius holds the tamagotchi out with a hum. Leo’s expression doesn’t shift, staying unimpressed.

There is a pause where there is only silence, then Donnie presses the mouth of Shelly against the front of Leo’s beak and makes a kissing sound. Leo’s eye twitches.

[video ends]

~~Electro~~:

@Cheese sounds like you gotta eat the fractions bro

HasTheBraincell:

Last time we had a tamagotchi we accidentally broke it when playing tag

We had a funeral and everything, the trauma is still too fresh

LostTheBraincell:

There’s no we

Raph stepped on it

~MagicMike~:

To be fair, a sewer doesn’t exactly leave many opportunities to have a bbq

It’s annoying, I’ve always wanted to bbq!

~~Electro~~:

MURDER

AteTheBraincell:

You pushed me you little sh*t

WantsTheBraincell:

We agreed to never speak of it again

The memories are too painful

MC-MIKEY:

wait @CaptainLeo are all raphs scared of bugs???1??

i wanna try somthing totaly innocent

f*ck:

I’m not scared of them

Why the f*ck would you dissect a bug at a meal time

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Science does not wait you heathen

I_Crave_Chemicals:

It was already dead, I just wanted to compare it to my spy roaches

I may have accidentally let some of them breed

Maybe

Bread:

i think the closest thing we had to a funeral was when we broke the microwave

its buried under an oak tree in the park

HasTheBraincell:

I wouldn’t do anything at the dinner table because of hygiene standards but if I was curious then maybe…

Raphael:

I’m not scared of bugs, sorry to bust your bubble

LittleMike:

@Cheese sorry dude I don’t understand any of that school stuff it’s way too far out!

MC-MIKEY:

[video recording]

Mikey is snickering as he shows the camera a fake bug in the palm of his hand, attached to a thin rod. He then shifts the phone so you can see he is creeping up behind Raph, who is standing next to Donnie and holding Shelly.

“Look, why don’t you wrap it in a sock or something and then hang it on your backpack if you really wanna go out with it?” He asks Donnie, twisting the tamagotchi in his hand. Donnie clicks in irritation, pouting and folding his arms.

“She could get hurt. I just won’t go out on patrol until I know she’s safe!” He says. Raph is about to argue back just as Leo sighs loudly, but then he spots the bug Mikey is shuffling closer out of the corner of his eye. With a high pitched yell, he throws the tamagotchi at it out of reflex.

It hits the table with a loud crack, bouncing onto the floor. Donnie grabs the sides of his head, letting out multiple panicked noises that grow in volume.

Shelly! No!” He dives over the table and out of frame. Raph curses loudly, turning his head and spotting Mikey, who is giggling.

“You little sh*t –“ Raph lunges at the camera as you can hear Donnie promising that “everything is going to be okay, just breathe with me!” in the background.

The video cuts off as Mikey screams in panic.

[Video ends]

~~Electro~~:

MURDER

MURDER

LostTheBraincell:

NOOOOO

HasTheBraincell:

I know how it feels to lose one so close

Bacon:

PPPFFFFT

Raphael:

Well, who could’ve seen that coming?

LittleMike:

Major bummer dude!!!!

I hope she pulls through!!!

Cheese:

Hw anyone???

any donnie???

Bread:

why not our donnie?

he likes math right?

Cheese:

hes with his coding club and i dont wanna intrude :(

AteTheBraincell:

Mikey you better not be doing what I think you are

CaptainLeo:

If mikey is mikey, then yes he is

WantsTheBraincell:

You’re not scared are you?

I thought you said you didn’t mind bugs last time this was asked, right?

AteTheBraincell:

I can feel your smug grin from here stop it

Dick

LostTheBraincell:

Teehee

Bacon:

Anyway where was i

@f*ck u still lurkin

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Yeah somehow I don’t think that’s going to help win him over

Dare I say it might actually make him hate his Raph more

Bacon:

Ur bullying a child

Woooow

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I will send this dissected co*ckroach over to you if you don’t stop

Bread:

holy heck ive never seen him turn off his phone so fast lol

Cheese:

what is a denominator and why does it sound like it wants to murder me for a bag of cheetos

HasTheBraincell:

@LostTheBraincell whatever you’re planning keep it away from my lab

We don’t want a Shelly 2.0

~MagicMike~:

Shaking my head sadly

[Voice Note: very very loud clapping and a party blower sounding repeatedly]

~MagicMike~:

Awwww <3 <3

LittleMike:

Sending so many virtual hugs now my dude!!! <3

~MagicMike~:

Once again wishing I had a kitty :(

One day I will sneak one in

~~Electro~~:

~MagicMike~:

Scandalous

LostTheBraincell:

No, go back to talking about my beautiful Klunk

It’s not everyday a sewer cat turns 13

~~Electro~~:

We must have a ceremony at once!

LostTheBraincell:

Agreed

For Mother We Must

MC-MIKEY:

for mother

LittleMike:

For Mother!

~MagicMike~:

For mother

~~Electro~~:

For mother

~MagicMike~:

*coughs*

*Nudges @Tech*

*coughs louder

*chokes*

~~Electro~~:

*panics in choking turtle*

This is tragic bros

*CAN ONLY BE CURED BY ALL MEMBERS PRAISING MOTHER*

*COUGHS*

*COUGHS*

~MagicMike~:

(Its too late)

~~Electro~~:

*dies in sad and depressed cult member*

LostTheBraincell:

Remember, not a cult!

What do we say when a Donnie or Leo tries to ruin our community?

LittleMike:

That we are just a group of dudes who totally only hang out as bros right?

~~Electro~~:

Good chums I dare say

MC-MIKEY:

yeaaaaah we just are a pashonate comunity

~MagicMike~:

*nods in depressed, dead turtle*

LostTheBraincell:

Cant believe a fellow cult member did not praise mother

@Tech at least tell us how to ward off other Donatellos or you will have to be sacrificed on suspicion of being a spy

MC-MIKEY:

hissssssss booooooo

~~Electro~~:

[Video recording]

A camera is rapidly zooming in and out of a bowl of chicken noodle soup. One of Angelo’s plastic babies is tucked into one corner of the bowl with a miniature pool ring around its waist.]

Hnnng soup

~MagicMike~:

Omg that hot soup action

MC-MIKEY:

EAT THE BABY

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a zoomed in plastic baby face.]

Not in front of the orphans

~~Electro~~:

Garnish

LittleMike:

Could use a jellybean or two for flavour

~MagicMike~:

Stop it

LostTheBraincell:

No, you wrap it in a tortilla and make a chicken noodle soup wrap

Then you can have chicken noodle soup whilst doing sick tricks on your skateboard

MC-MIKEY:

Imagin only having a skateboard

LostTheBraincell:

I have tried to get my Don to make me one

Day 325 of asking, and he says he would rather eat concrete then give me the power to do so

Apparently I would ‘get myself killed with other the first minute’ or ‘launch myself out of the sewer and expose myself to new York’

~MagicMike~:

Purple started to make one but then he got bored and moved onto his giga triple x drill

That’s the problem with him, he just keeps getting more ideas

~~Electro~~:

Still camping so no jellybeans

Leo wanted us to have a taste of survival or whatever and be one with nature or some sh*t

LittleMike:

Back to turtle roots, I like it!

Not the jellybean shortage though :(

~~Electro~~:

It is okay, I shall consume more meat instead as a way of honouring Mother’s birthday meal

~MagicMike~:

*revives from dead*

*nudges @Tech*

LittleMike:

Wait where did the little amigo go??

@Cheese?

~~Electro~~:

The math took him

God rest his little soul

MC-MIKEY:

repect that

numbers are just stupid squigles

LostTheBraincell:

A moment of silence for the fallen

~~Electro~~:

[Voice Note: loud slurping of chicken noodle soup, followed by loud smacking of lips]

MC-MIKEY:

duuuude top tier slurp action

~MagicMike~:

Good soup

~~Electro~~:

[Voice Note: another, louder slurp. In the background, you can hear Raph ask “Okay, who is eating soup so loud that I can heard it from the kitchen, what the shell?!”]

Tech:

Stop pinging me

LostTheBraincell:

No :)

Looooook

[Photo ID: a picture of Klunk, who is eating her birthday meal. In the background, you can see Mikey standing proudly with a party hat on. Donnie is to his side, also with a party hat, and is looking amused as he holds a balloon tied to a cat toy.]

Praise be

Tech:

Why is this a cult

And @Cheese is with me, I am helping him with his math homework because he sounded pathetic

~~Electro~~:

(He cares)

LittleMike:

Awww bonding bros!!

Tech:

No, not really

It’s something to half tune into whilst I run through police scans for the night for any activity that might be my brother

LostTheBraincell:

Sorry, but we are too good to be picked up by humans when we want to be

Tech:

I know

It’s more of in case he’s hurt and they find him by accident

I am still not sure whether he ran away on purpose or meant to come back then got ambushed, I can’t be too careful

Tldr. Stop bothering me

MC-MIKEY:

noooo dude u gotta praise the mother now

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: a selfie of Orange, who is sitting very formally with his hands crossed on his knee in a large arm chair. He has a turtle neck sweater on and glasses perched on the edge of his beak. He is looking directly at the camera with a brow raised, giving view to the name tag on his chest that reads “Dr Feelings”.]

Trade offer: you discuss your feelings in a healthy outlet and we discuss cats

Tech:

No

LostTheBraincell:

Fair enough

We tried

LittleMike:

But I wanna talk to you about mondo cool stuff!!! Like you gotta tell me your universe coordinate things or whatever dude because I wanna set up the mail system my Donatello made for us so I can show you my sweet collection of bracelets <3

~~Electro~~:

Did he just say no to cats

Tech:

I am not fond of cats

Remember, I’m not a Michelangelo

LostTheBraincell:

So your Mikey likes cats?

Good to know @Cheese is the Isolated One

Cheese:

@Tech can u check my dividing cos like im pretty sure i got the hang now but i wanna impress the teacher tomorrow then maybe she will stop looking at me with mega angry vibes

Excuse me

it is impolite to talk about a bro behind his back feeling pretty betrayed ngl

MC-MIKEY:

duuuuude someone send me a kitty right NOW

~MagicMike~:

@Tech bold of you to assume you had a choice :)

Dr Feelings skips the denial stage :)

Tech:

All of you are so loud

LostTheBraincell:

Some people say loud, I say music

But in all honesty, have you thought to check in animal shelters at night? I know I go there sometimes when I need a breather

I don’t think your Mikey has been taken by anyone, you said it yourself – we are very loud

We would make it clear if we were in trouble

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: the baby in the soup is now melting in the almost empty bowl.]

I DO LOVE THE TASTE OF PLASTIC

LittleMike:

Dude you too??? Sweet! I love going to the zoo at night and saying hi to all the funky dudes there <3

I have a zookeeper friend who lets me say hi whenever I want!

Tech:

@Cheese I told you, you don’t need to do this just to impress a teacher. Everyone works at their own pace. Give her the stink eye.

@LostTheBraincell this is actually very useful information, thank you. I have not thought to check shelters like you described, I shall do so tonight

~MagicMike~:

With your brothers, maybe?

Tech:

Yeah, right.

The great night watcher rather run off into the night and beat up the thugs robbing corner stores and oh great fearless leader is determined to prove he is never wrong and therefore thinks it is not necessary to look for him.

MC-MIKEY:

PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC

wait dude I gotta read up more often my bad :(

LostTheBraincell:

That doesn’t sound great

Major bummer dude, sorry about whatever sh*t show is going on at your end

Cheese:

i cant do a good stink eye

donnie said it looks like i am trying to rizz someone up whilst eating ghost peppers

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a picture of a tiny cat ornament, hand painted, in Mike’s hand. It looks minuscule compared to the size of his palm.]

WHO JUST SENT THISS I LUV U!!1!!

~~Electro~~:

Aw man Donnie now wants me to throw up because I ate melted plastic @Tech how do I stop him you are one of the same

And yeah, it’s stupid your bros won’t help but also really weird? Sometimes my Raph tries to help in the only way he knows how which is actually beating people up so this might be the same?

(Also Nightwatcher sounds like a sick name, respect)

LostTheBraincell:

@Cheese that is an oddly specific insult

Tech:

I don’t want help from them anyway

My Raph should know he can’t punch his way out of problems but he’d rather do that then try accepting blame

@Cheese get back on call with me, you haven’t quite got the advanced set of questions right

Cheese:

donnie just be like that

and weeping rn I spend so long on those questions whyyyyy

LostTheBraincell:

Eat the paper

~~Electro~~:

C O N S U M E

M A T H

MC-MIKEY:

@~~Electro~~ when my donnie freaks at me for doing dangerus stuff i just do it again to prove im better

Tech:

No

LittleMike:

@MC-MIKEY No problem dude! Always help a fellow Micheal <3

~MagicMike~:

I will trade you one (1) fidget spinner if you make me one pretty please

Tech:

Can I reiterate do not drink more plastic

Stop

~~Electro~~:

What’s that? I can only hear clucking

LostTheBraincell:

(Chicken)

Tech:

I’m not a chicken I just do not want to deal with the fallout

I work in tech support not first aid I am not qualified to try and explain to your Donatello why you are drinking molten plastic

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a blurred picture of another piece of plastic getting melted in the microwave in a glass cup. Through the reflection on the microwave glass, Mikey can be seen making a thumbs up, and Leo is mid leap behind him to try and pull him away]

Bottoms up

Cheese:

here lies @~~Electro~~

he was a good turtle

MC-MIKEY:

@LittleMike THANK UUUUUUUHJJ

His name is francis jeremy cattington the tenth, king of the cat nip

Tech:

@Cheese I can and will stop the math lessons if you try this

Cheese:

im not hungry enough to chew on plastic rn dw

Raph would

~MagicMike~:

@Tech Have you tried discussing how you feel about this split in goals to them, or communicated at all? Understanding leads to change, and breaking those boundaries is the first step

Red is kinda the same, but he has a persona called R.A.P.H that he uses to vent

LostTheBraincell:

One day a Raph is going to have a healthy and nice way of releasing stress

There’s a universe out there, there has to be

But then like

There might be a wuss Leo or quiet casey and I don’t think I’m willing to make that sacrifice

LittleMike:

@Tech my Donatello says he can open up a mail system to you if you want, like totally fully not just a little hole! Is that chill with you?

Tech:

I don’t want a direct connection at all, or any extra interaction with you. I am here to try and find my brother and get clues from you guys because you all are like him

LostTheBraincell:

All of us? Even that weird one drinking plastic?

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a zoomed in picture of Mikey’s face, who has a plastic fork in his mouth]

I’m sorry who is talking sh*t about my special diet

LittleMike:

Bummer :(

I made a cat for you too to try and boost your happy mojo

MC-MIKEY:

[Video recording]

A shaky, low resolution video of the cat ornament Michelangelo gave to Mike on a spinning top that looks like an old hard disk drive that has been very quickly modified. Opposite, you can see Dee is also beside Mike, watching the spinning cat silently with laser focus. After a moment, Mike’s hand can be seen in the corner of the camera moving to press a button of an old iPod – You Spin Me Round (Like. A Record) by Dead or Alive starts to play as the cat continues to spin.

[video ends]

~MagicMike~:

Says the turtle that is also helping with math problems?

Cheese:

it was an emergency is his defence

i think it was anyways

LostTheBraincell:

The cat is going into orbit

Tech:

I said I don’t like cats?

And I never asked for this connection

And @Cheese asked me directly and I am currently doing my sh*tty job so I could fit some time in

MC-MIKEY:

Ewwww job

LittleMike:

Please? I made him just for you, and gave him a big smile so he can remind you to smile when you aren’t

That’s what works when my bros are all down and gloomy

~~Electro~~:

It was a bad idea to have more plastic

I am transcending

Tech:

Fine.

Give me the damn cat I can feel the puppy eyes

If it will get you to leave me alone for the rest of the day?

LittleMike:

You have my word

Turtle’s honour cross my heart! <3

LostTheBraincell:

@~~Electro~~ just keep drinking it eventually it will cancel itself out

That’s how science works pretty sure

Tech:

Please don’t

Stop it

~MagicMike~:

In honour of Klunk’s Birthday let’s all do plastic shots

Drinking plastic with the girlies let’s goooo

Cheese:

I feel the peer pressure guys

Tech:

@Cheese no

LostTheBraincell:

We could make this a weekly cult event

I mean bonding event

LittleMike:

Sorry, I’m on a strictly plastic free diet plan :(

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

@I_Crave_Chemicals

Your brother is drinking plastic and has locked your oldest brother in the basem*nt

How unethical would it be to steal a ice pop from a human child

Asking for a friend

AteTheBraincell:

You don’t have any friends

Leonardo:

Very? I think I would start crying out of guilt before the child does

I somehow think you aren’t asking for a friend

Steroids:

survival of the fittest

snatch that sh*t whats it gonna do

cry at you?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Ok which one of you mikeys did this

~MagicMike~:

I don’t know what you mean

I feel like this is discrimination

LostTheBraincell:

It is very humid

And this kid has an ice pop

I think I could take down a kid for it

WantsTheBraincell:

Why are you even topside during the day get back here

And during a heat wave?

LittleMike:

Dude I totally didn’t hype up a fellow Michelangelo to drink melted plastic

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Naaahhh no way the anti donatelo came here to just say that your mikey was committing mutiny @I_Crave_Chemcials pffffft

Bread:

i think bullying a kid is a one way ticket to hell ngl

For an ice pop

LostTheBraincell:

*for a blue raspberry ice pop

f*ck:

Yeah I’d do it easy

WantsTheBraincell:

Any Raphael would do your opinion doesn’t count

Bacon:

100% worth it

HasTheBraincell:

Angelo you are banned from blue raspberry flavouring after you drank some and then climbed the walls whist rambling about how you could “taste colors” for almost 24 hours

LostTheBraincell:

Best 24 hours of my life

WantsTheBraincell:

Worst 24 hours of my life

Red:

why is that like orange

he basically is explosive for a day and we have to isolate him

Leonardo:

Metaphorically..??

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Are you telling me that Tech was in here and no one told me????

Raphael:

Wow, main character syndrome much?

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a kid eating a push pop from an aerial view, zoomed in so the main focus is the blue ice pop itself. In the bottom corner, you can see Mikey has a grappling hook in his hand pointing to the back of the kid]

Target locked

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I would be the most intriguing main character, if you must know

Leonardo:

I think you might have an unfair bias?

Egg:

naaaaaah u would be the nerdy sidekick comedic relief

Red:

Purple we have talked about your ego

what happened to those talks

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Ego is the catalyst of science, dear brother

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of Purple looking very smug at his phone, sat next to the titanium bust of himself, rebuilt]

i can see his head expanding the longer I watch

Bacon:

wait the fake donnie was here dude u serious????

i wanna fight him

Raphael:

What else is new?

HasTheBraincell:

Angelo can you maybe not?

I don’t really want to be exposed to the humans because you knocked out a child and took their ice pop thank you

Bacon:

@Tech come back fight meeeeeeeeee

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: the same picture Blue send of Donnie, but photoshopped so his forehead is larger]

It be growing

CaptainLeo:

@f*ck HE LOCKED ME IN A CUPBOARD AND DRANK PLASTIC

I owe @Tech a life debt

Raphael:

Yeah I somehow don’t think he wants a life debt from a Leonardo just saying

Y’know

Seeing as he vowed to destroy you all or something

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@LostTheBraincell the grappling hook isn’t long enough, it will just draw attention to yourself

I would advice setting a small lure, something simple seeing as this human has only developed basic problem solving skills, which would be enough for it to lose interest and drop the ice pop and thus giving you time to collect it

However, there is the issue of germs, its hands have been clutching the ice pop for far too long to be consumed safely without getting a plague of some sort

Bread:

i dont like how you refer the the kid as an “it”

Also @Bacon dad says u cant fight donnie no matter what universe so idk man

~~Electro~~:

AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN

WantsTheBraincell:

If you hit that kid I will hunt you down

Bacon:

@Bread U SNITCH

what happened to the A TEAM

Donatello:

Morning, everyone!

CaptainLeo:

Donnie please do not encourage Angelo

HasTheBraincell:

Yes, please do not

Bread:

i cant be twins with u if you fight against dad i dont wanna be grounded with u

survival of the fittest

Egg:

this is why the b team twins are superior

LostTheBraincell:

Would a mouse trap work

How do human kids work

Leonardo:

Not like that???

Cheese:

@Bacon dude dont fight him hes not actually that bad

he can add fractions really well

Egg:

i could have helped u instead

Cheese:

i didnt want to cramp your style in the tech club u had a cool thing going on

its chill u were busy

Egg:

not too busy for ur math

Just ping me or something at me next time the rest of the students in the club wont mind if u invade for a bit lol

>@Bacon has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @Tech for 12789918636819987762890184661990276326minutes<

Egg:

AJAKSKKKK

Raphael:

What the shell is that?

CaptainLeo:

Are you telling me that he came in to do that?

Cheese:

@Tech im out here trying to hype them up to like u and then u locked my bro in jail im cryin rn

Bootyyyclapper9000:

“Hes not that bad”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Petty but deserved

And yes, a large mouse trap would work to trick a kid of that age

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a blurred hand clutching a blue ice pop]

GO GO GO

~~Electro~~:

RUN BROTHER

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck

HasTheBraincell:

MICHELANGELO STOP

LittleMike:

@Tech did you like the kitty I made you? Did it get through? You went quiet after I sent it so I gotta know whether you liked the colours, I can change them if you don’t no trouble dude <3

Raphael:

I’m sorry, you gave the bitter Donatello one of your cat figures?

He’s a stranger Michelangelo! We do not give the stranger gifts

Egg:

TECH LET ME FIGHT U RN U COWARJDKLSL

sorry raph sniped me and took my phone

i swear I do not wanna fight u dont send me away

LittleMike:

Nah he’s not a stranger dude, he’s another bro!

Bonk:

[Photo ID: a selfie of a tired looking Donnie, squinting in the dark. He doesn’t have his glasses on, his face illuminated by the screen light]

Hu

Leonardo:

Did we wake you?

Guys, try and keep it down!

f*ck:

We are texting how tf do you text loudly

~~Electro~~:

[Voice note: in a low voice, Mikey is saying “Give me the ice pop I’ll put it in witness protection”]

CaptainLeo:

I heard that

Where are you

You are hiding from me

Bonk:

Ahj wha

Smeek

Raphael:

Is he having a stroke?

Donatello:

I think he needs to put his glasses on

LostTheBraincell:

[Video recording]

Angelo is running across the rooftops, switching from breathlessly whispering curses under his breath and giggling madly. The camera is shaky and clutched in his hand – as it moves back and forth, you can see the ice pop strapped to his belt. It is very crushed and melting.

“Oh f*ck, oh f*ck, holy –“ Angelo laughs, spinning the camera behind him and slowing down as he turns a corner. He breathes heavily as he peaks the camera around the wall edge.

At first, the camera shows nothing but an empty rooftop. Then, suddenly Leo strides silently into frame, making Angelo whisper another curse. Sharply, Leo turns is head directly to the camera and sprints forward with unnatural acceleration and menacing silence. Angelo screams and laughs, fumbling with the camera and continuing his mad dash across the rooftops.

[Video ends]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

It seems I cannot edit the sentence placed on @Bacon?

It has been recorded I believe, so now we can’t edit a sentence once it has been executed on the user

I am going to assume that our new Donatello friend had edited the code somehow without us knowing

Egg:

he cant outcode me

watch

Raphael:

This is a concerning level of dedication to shut up @Bacon

~~Electro~~:

RUUUUUUUN

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Scoff! I can surely find a way through as the smartest Donatello and all

Cracks knuckles

Bonk:

what is hapenib

the code!!111!

f*ck:

Put your glasses on holy sh*t

Though it’s nerdy that the only thing I can understand is about geek sh*t

Bonk:

Glasses: located

Sorry, me and Mikey watched a cat spin for five hours at various speeds

Very taxing day

AteTheBraincell:

@LostTheBraincell why tf are you laughing he’s gonna destroy you

How

LittleMike:

Major bummer dude, the push pop is wiped out :(

LostTheBraincell:

AHSJAK AJKB

Eeq

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I cant tell whether ur actually dying

How is he my alternate I would be helping you with the superior ice pop flavor

That kid can get another

We are poor sewer turtles starved of sunlight

~~Electro~~:

*and push pops

Donatello:

*blue raspberry push pops

Cheese:

what even is blue raspberry

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: the same picture of Purple used earlier, but it has been photo shopped so that Purple’s forehead is taking up most the upper screen]

Still growing

~~Electro~~:

B L U E

AteTheBraincell:

I always thought it was that sh*t you put in cars to clean windows

Still think it is

Egg:

what the heck did u do @Tech

i cant change it what

Bread:

hurry hes trying to get my phone and he always breaks the screen in like 30 secs somehow

Bonk:

Oh wow

Yep, I can’t save Bacon without a processor bigger than Raph’s head

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Even bigger than purples forehead???

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Perish

If I did not have a big forehead I would not have my iconic eyebrows

And orange, I am about to snap all of your crayons if you don’t stop

~MagicMike~

You wont

Or Im gonna cry at you

~~Electro~~:

Weaponise those tears

f*ck:

So is Bacon dead now

I dont wanna be the shortest Raph again

LittleMike:

I don’t think he’s gonna talk dudes

Egg:

he seriously just dipped

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Angelo, face down in a puddle of blue raspberry liquid. He is not moving.]

In other news, @HasTheBraincell can you tell me where the closest place is where I can get a blue raspberry push pop

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Blue raspberry is a flavor use made to mimic the flavor of a blackcap raspberry by using esters of banana, cherry, and pineapple variety with far too much sugar for a Michelangelo to safely consume

Spoilers, it isn’t actually blue but dyed blue to differentiate it from strawberry and watermelon flavors, which use similar colors

So yeah it’s not “b l u e” as Mikey tried to explain

f*ck:

You just ruined my day thanks

LittleMike:

Wait no way dude? Seriously?

It’s not blue raspberries? Bummer I thought it was mondo cool and wanted to find some one day :(

~~Electro~~:

[Voice note: Mikey very loudly explaining, almost a scream “Wait, WHAT??!”]

~MagicMike~:

What

What do you mean its dyed blue

Excuse me sir

CaptainLeo:

Wait, really?

Leonardo:

This is a loss for the blue team

Bonk:

You all thought that bright blue was natural

f*ck:

f*ck you

AteTheBraincell:

Hey don’t rope me into the dipsh*t den

I can’t stand it and there’s no way I ever looked at it’s nuclear looking ass and thought “yeah that looks natural”

Cheese:

[Voice note: loud sobbing]

Bread:

what else have they been lying to us about

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I want to go back in time and tell my past self to not get up this morning

Red:

Wait it isnt blue berries????

I_Crave_Chemicals:

How have you all been broken from this news

f*ck:

Shut the f*ck up I swear to god

Bonk:

Oh boy

No one tell my Mikey I’ve kept it a secret for years

Raphael:

So the death of Bacon is old news now?

Fair enough

Donatello:

I could make blue raspberries probably! And make them glow!

HasTheBraincell:

No, no you won’t

Raphael:

I already have enough radioactive and questionable chemicals in my bloodstream, I think I will have to pass

~~Electro~~:

PLEASE

Bonk:

It’s possible, probably? Not glowing

Donatello:

Nope, I can make them glow with a little rewiring!

Bread:

um

how do u rewire a raspberry

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You cannot “rewire” a berry

f*ck:

f*ck it, I’m down to get radiation

Cowards refuse

LostTheBraincell:

WHAT

I MUST HAVE IT

Cheese:

let me ask dad

Egg:

i somehow think hes gonna say no

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Absolutely willing to sink my time into this, yes!

At the very least it will look fantastic aesthetically even if there is the minor inconvenience of radiation

CaptainLeo:

I would class radiation poisoning as more than a minor inconvenience

f*ck:

(Coward)

Bonk:

Hmm yeah ok

HasTheBraincell:

No, not okay??

WantsTheBraincell:

If I see one glowing raspberry I am locking you in the fridge and starting hibernation early @LostTheBraincell

Bread:

i would but im pretty sure raph would like bite me if i said no

and donnie would cancel me

and mikey would cry and that will make me cry and then we will both be crying and then before i know it im eating a radioactive berry

MC-MIKEY:

holy sh*tballs what did i miss

@Bonk u can see ur lite under the door master splinter is gonna roast ur ass if he finds out ur pulling an all niter again

Bonk:

DON’T SCROLL UP MIKEY I BEG YOU

Raphael:

If I see one berry that’s bright blue I’m moving

I’ve heard the sewers in France are particularly exquisite

Red:

No more eating things that are gonna kill you @~MagicMike~ @Bootyyyclapper9000 @Bootyyyshaker9000

Bootyyyclapper9000:

U eat poisoned pizza puffs one time

CaptainLeo:

Bread:

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

Leerless-Feeder:

Why is the kid raph banned for over a trillion years

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a game boy with a smiley face drawn on it]

This is Steven @Bootyyyclapper9000

Bootyyyclapper9000:

you namedropped him over our gossip sesh like he was an actual dude

you threw me way offf

Bread:

[Photo ID: a picture of Raph with his head face down on the table, half a glass of strawberry milk in his hand. He is surrounded by several other empty glasses]

he tried to drink away the pain

f*ck:

If Leo asks Im not online trust me on this

Leonardo:

Half an hour ago you threatened to send a snake through the mail system after I just said I didn’t like them?

I don’t think that’s a good foundation for trust

~~Electro~~:

HIDE ME

f*ck:

If you try and get in my spot youre dead

Raphael:

I think “don’t like” is an understatement

LostTheBraincell:

Steven was my first bestie after a pebble that I found under a sewer grate

HasTheBraincell:

Oh yes, I remember that pebble

Suzanne?

LittleMike:

Dude which stickers are better the fuzzy ones or the glitter ones? I have an art emergency!!!

Bonk:

Trust me I am trying to get it so kid Raph is not banned until the sun explodes but this Donatello has really dug his claws in, metaphorically

Red:

why are you guys hiding???

and why dont you just smash the computer and free him that way

I may not be a computer turtle like the donnies but smashing things has never failed before, so I have a 100% success rate!!

MC-MIKEY:

duude u just made donnie faint by sayin that LOL

~~Electro~~:

We are supposed to be moving back to the sewers today and Leo wants us to pack

*vomits*

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Omg why do you name like everything after some middle aged human who runs the local corner store

LostTheBraincell:

Yes, Suzanne was great until Raph ate her

And I would get the names from TV soap operas that Master Splinter watched, don’t blame 6 year old me

Bread:

its very tragic

he overdosed

Red:

your lying theres no way my logic made you guys faint

~MagicMike~:

WHO HAS AN ART EMERGENCY

Bootyyyclapper9000:

as someone whos overdosed on strawberry milk before the hangover is terrible

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a picture of Donnie swooned dramatically on the floor, the back of his hand resting on his forehead]

i see no lies

i can revive him only by a pop tart

f*ck:

@Leonardo I can’t believe you are spreading lies about me, I would never do that

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a stuffed snake in what seems to be Mikey’s bedroom]

@Leonardo shaking in his shell right now

He’s gonna get ya

LittleMike:

Ok so I have fuzzy stickers of kittens or glitter stickers of fruit that I want to put on this pet carrier so it can look mondo cool!!! But I wanna make it look perfecto if you get my drift, dude

Leonardo:

Stop it

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a cartoon drawn snake, heavily stylised with thick lines and bright colours. It looks like it was drawn hastily]

HISSSSSSSSSS

Raphael:

@LittleMike why do you have a pet carrier?

Michelangelo you better not have brought in another raccoon or I swear I will put you in the crate myself

Bread:

[Photo ID: a GIF of a snake]

Leonardo:

You’re not funny

None of you are funny I hope you know

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of a poorly drawn, stick figure snake on the back of a scrap of paper]

oooOooooOoOOOOOOoooo scary

Leerless-Feeder:

How are all of you making texting loud

@MC-MIKEY I told you pop tarts are banned now because he overdosed on sugar at 3am

im not ever dealing with that sh*t

LostTheBraincell:

Extreme skill

Donatello:

Oh, so that’s why @Bonk was streaming Tetris for 5 hours with a mod that simulated a small explosion every time you cleared a line!

MC-MIKEY:

whaaaaattt???? nooooooo

ur leting a bro die someone screenshot this

~~Electro~~:

I can hear him

I’m sh*tting myself

Bread:

i mean i would like not be very good if i drank strawberry milk

Speedrunning allergies is not a good vibe yknow?

dad would be kinda mad

f*ck:

Huh another Leo with a strawberry allergy

Out of everything

Red:

I think that faint is staged

f*ck:

I smell a rat

Raphael :

Michelangelo answer me

~MagicMike~:

The glitter would be a nicer look if it’s a dark plastic but I kinda dig the animal theme of the fuzzy ones

And they’re so soft

Bonk:

I do love fuzzy textures on things

Makes my brain go weewoo

MC-MIKEY:

dude ur suposed to be dead rember???

Bonk:

Sorry, of course

Bread:

all this rat hate

my dad would be weeping if he read this i hope u know

f*ck:

Do not care

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a gummy snake]

What about this fierce guy @Leonardo

HasTheBraincell:

I hate how I end up craving at least one item of food every time I am here

I now want strawberry milk

~~Electro~~:

I can hear my Leo stalking the hallway I’m trapped

Emergency distraction please

LostTheBraincell:

I am sending my most deadly glitter bomb to your universe as we speak

And gummy snakes

HasTheBraincell:

Can I have a gummy snake?

Leonardo:

This is cyber bullying

Donatello:

Michelangelo, please tell me you didn’t?

Bread:

i think hes yeeted himself out of there ngl

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@LostTheBraincell anyways we strayed off topic

Why was Steven involved with you breaking into a jungle gym

HasTheBraincell:

Angelo you didn’t

Not again!

LostTheBraincell:

Steven saw too much

He was used as a weapon and that’s how I ended up burying his remains at 4:45am at the local pizza joint

Bootyyyclapper9000:

In my defence you gave no context when you sent that selfie

Which was amazing by the way

Art

Bread:

Im telling dad u said u dont care

f*ck:

My dad is dead you have no power over me

Snitch

Leerless-Feeder:

I picked the wrong f*cking time to ask a question

How are you all so loud

There is like three talks going on at once

~MagicMike~:

guys I learnt how to juggle wanna see

Leerless-Feeder:

Whoever started the poll debating whether I am having a mental breakdown better f*cking run

Bread:

Im telling him u said that too

LostTheBraincell:

You can’t get me

I dare you to try

Leonardo:

Stop sending snake toys through the mail

Bread:

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Omg everyone to the voice call

Leerless-Feeder:

You still havent explained why theres a ban for a trillion years

This is why I dont sleep

sh*t like this happens

Raphael:

Michelangelo

Red:

If I punch my phone hard enough will that send a shockwave to break kid raph out of his jail cell

MC-MIKEY:

try it i triple dare u

Leonardo:

WHO SENT A REAL SNAKE

@Donatello @Raphael @Michelangelo HELP ME

>>VOICE CHAT: Teetles Talking<<

LostTheBraincell:

“I know that selfie was great! I am the most handsome turtle after all, gotta keep up the image against all these uglies I live with.”

In the background, you can hear Rafa yell “Shut the hell up!”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Live stream recording]

Blue can be seen lounging back in his chair, a bag of chips in his hand. Purple is next to him, crouched on the edge of the arm rest next to him with a cup of soda, complete with an orange curly straw.

“Where is kid Leo? He said he was getting his dad online and I am so ready for the drama you have no idea how boring my day has been.” Blue says. Purple nods in agreement.

“Truly dull. I can feel my synapses decaying.” He adds. “I was promised an angry father rant imminently to solve this issue.”

Egg:

“- so if I hypothetically wanted to look into actually creating an AI which doesn’t just tell me how to cheat badly at essays –“ Tello pauses as you can hear several rapid notifications blip on his computer as a sudden hoard of the other turtles join the call. “Wait why is there now a raid in this chat, we were here first – “

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Just when I thought I was finally getting some peace and quiet with a conversation which is more intellectually stimulating than whether eating turtle soup was cannibalism…” Donnie sighs wistfully.

MC-MIKEY:

“That’s like, a very good question though dude! I asked you today and you were all like ‘it depends if you are full or part turtle’ and like apparently some of us are crazy cannibals –“

Steroids:

“Don’t temp me, Mike. Quit babblin’ before I make you into soup.”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Purple shrugs nonchalantly.

“It’s not that bad.” He says, sipping his cup. Blue snaps his head to look at his twin, face falling into disbelief, horror and disgust all at once.

“Excuse me, what –“

Raphael:

“There’s gonna be a fight, pipsqueak, so stop complaining and get some popcorn.”

Egg:

“You did not just call me a pipsqueak. You did not.”

Raphael:

“I thought you would prefer that over four eyes.”

Egg:

Tello makes a wounded sound at the back of his throat.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Between who? I feel like there’s always a fight.”

LostTheBraincell:

“You don’t sound enthusiastic enough. I’m going to change that.”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Why do I feel threatened by that.”

LittleMike:

[Live stream recording]

The recording displays Michelangelo hunched over his desk, sticking stickers onto the pet carrier case. When he hears Raphael’s voice, he looks up in alarm and hides the carrier case behind his shell and pushes something away off screen.

Egg:

Ra’s voice can be heard yelling:

“Wait, dad is gonna fight someone?!”

Tello, who had been trash talking Raphael, stops.

“Wait, is he actually? Holy shi – heck!”

>@~~Electro~~ has entered the call<

>@Leerless-Feeder has entered the call<

>@f*ck has entered the call<

f*ck:

[Live stream recording]

Raph is close to the camera, looking like he is in a small cupboard or wardrobe. His emerald eyes shine unnaturally in the half light, lighting up his feral grin.

“Ok, you wanna go at it? I doubt your dad is even gonna show up!” He says. However, his voice is low like he is trying not to be heard.

Raphael:

“Michelangelo, care to tell the audience why you have a pet carrier?”

~~Electro~~:

In a very quiet whisper: “Guys, I would love to listen to the fight but Leo is sniffing me out, dude! He’s gonna make me pack my stuff and that’s so boring…”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Just be like me and say you have something very explosive that I need to watch at all times.” Donnie can be heard making a huff of laughter before continuing in a more smug tone. “I showed him a hard drive disk and said it was a bomb powerful enough to level America if I didn’t diffuse it and he hasn’t bothered me since.”

MC-MIKEY:

“A what what what?”

In the background, you can hear Dee say:

“A spinning disk thing that stops the computer from having amnesia and therefore having a great life.”

“Oooh, that makes total sense.” Mike responds.

Leerless-Feeder:

“I dunno…I think if it was our Master Splinter the short Raph would be done for. Still can’t believe you guys don’t have a hashi. Seems unfair, some of you guys need it.”

LostTheBraincell:

A loud fog horn blares, very close to the microphone. Angelo can be heard screeching somehow louder than it, apparently “hyping up” the fight.

Raphael:

“Yeah, sure, go ahead and deafen me - it’s not like I was using my ears too much anyway.”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“I hope you know that I am now wishing the hard disk drive was a bomb because me blowing it up would be quieter than this.”

~~Electro~~:

“Guys, shut up –“

In the distance, you can hear Leo’s voice yell “I found you! Get over here and help me pack, Mikey!”

Mikey screams and rapid footfalls follow. The connection cuts off.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

At the sudden noise, Blue jumps and his chips jolt from their bag. Purple hisses, signing “Perish, gremlin” with his hands, which have now dropped the drink.

HasTheBraincell:

“I’m sorry on behalf of my brother, sometimes he decides it’s a good day to be a nuisance and I can’t stop him.”

LostTheBraincell:

The foghorn stops when there is a distinct sound of someone getting hit, followed by a childish whine from Angelo.

“I was just trying to hype up the fight! I think I did a great job!” He says. He pauses for a couple of seconds before saying: “Stop glaring at me. You can’t change my mind. I was great.”

LittleMike:

“Hiding? Who said anything about hiding? Not me, not at all, amigo!” Michelangelo stammers, placing the pet carrier on the floor. He smiles very unconvincingly. “I would totally never hide anything from any turtle!”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue laughs loudly, nudging Purple.

“Somehow he’s worse than you at lying, Don-Tron.” He taunts. Purple rolls his eyes.

“‘You are incorrect!’ He said as he pushed his dumb-dumb twin to the floor as punishment for such an inaccurate statement.” Purple responds.

“Wait, what –“ Blue begins to ask, but is interrupted when Purple shoves Blue off his chair. Blue makes a strangled sound as he hits the ground.

Suddenly, Orange bursts in on Red’s shoulders with his arms full of more snacks. He is covered in paint – and it becomes clear why when Red turns, showcasing the colourful patterns that have been painted along his spiked scales on his arms and shoulders.

“Did we miss anything? Mikey wanted skittles so we had to sneak into Pop’s room to get the last bag.” Red hurries towards the seating area. Upon seeing Blue on the floor, he picks him up by the shell with a single hand and places him on a beanbag to the side.

“Ah-ah-ah - that’s my seat! You know, in my room!” Blue protests as Red places Orange on it. Orange cheers and shoots a smug look in Blue’s direction.

“I’m the oldest so I get last say. Maybe if you and Donnie hadn’t gotten arrested last week I would have considered letting you stay on it.”

“In our defence, we didn’t let the pizza get cold. I count that as a win.” Purple says flatly. He snatches a bag of snacks from Orange as he says so. Red just looks at him for a few seconds before turning back to the camera.

LostTheBraincell:

“See! I’m not the only turtle to get arrested!”

Egg:

“No shot, dad’s storming through the kitchen – I gotta find Mikey real quick, this is going to be legendary –“

Raphael:

“Michelangelo, I’ve seen a two year old human lie better than that. I don’t want to wake up to find an entire horse in my room again, if you don’t mind.”

LittleMike:

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, compadre! I swear!” Michelangelo wrings his hands together repeatedly. You can hear muffled yells outside the room, slowly getting louder.

f*ck:

“I heard someone call me ‘short raph’, who the f*ck was it so I know which dimension to start throwing shurikens through for target practice.”

Steroids:

“I could your face in my hand, shrimp.”

f*ck:

“That’s not saying much, you can do that with most of the turtles here! You’re on my hit list.”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Ignore him, his hit list is so long you have to wait about three years.”

f*ck:

“Donnie, you are now on top of that hit list.”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

“Where’s the fight? Raph was ready to cheer on the little me!” Red says, folding his arms. “I think we’ve been scammed, boys.”

“I made flags and everything!” Orange holds up two flags, one with a rat face on it and another bright red. “I was all set on using those cheerleading classes I did to cheer them both on!”

Both?” Blue raises a brow. Orange huffs.

“Of course. I want to make sure they both get equal amounts of cheerleading power!”

“I told you those classes would get to his head.” Purple says. He inspects his wrist pad, tapping a few times. “But yes, my interest is dwindling exponentially. I can feel my genius mind returning to its initial boredom, alas.”

MC-MIKEY:

“Dude, can I be a cheerleader???”

Steroids:

“You’d knock over everyone in the first step, numbnu*ts.”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Because of popular demand, I am now going to create a small explosive device.”

HasTheBraincell:

“Perhaps not in a property that isn’t your own? I think that might be rude if you explode a room due to a technical error during production.”

LostTheBraincell:

“Can you live stream it? You know, just so I can see for a friend how they are made. For a friend, pinky promise.”

Raphael:

What popular demand? No one asked you to blow up New York, gappy!”

MC-MIKEY:

Mike makes a high pitched noise of disagreement to his Raph’s statement.

Bootyyyclapper9000:

“Yes! Yes! Make the bomb!” Purple lunges forward but is caught by an unamused Red.

“Hiss! Unhand me!” Purple says, kicking his legs. Red ignores him.

“You shouldn’t have mentioned bombs in front of Purple here. He gets a little too into the whole “mad scientist” act whenever one is brought up.” Blue says.

>@Bread has entered the call<

LittleMike:

Michelangelo can be seen suddenly lunging towards something close to the camera with a squeak of surprise. When he steps back, you can see a box turtle in his hands.

“You almost fell off my desk, dudette! You could’ve ended up totally wiped out!” He murmurs gently. The mutant quickly glances up at the camera, breathing a sigh of relief Raphael seemingly doesn’t notice the animal he now holds in his hand.

“MICHELANGELO!” Suddenly, Leonardo runs into his room and slams the door in a flustered panic. Michelangelo yelps in surprise at the unexpected guest.

“I need help! There’s a snake loose and I don’t know where it went!” Leonardo climbs onto Michelangelo’s hammock, pointing his katana towards the door.

Egg:

“Dude, Mikey’s talking to the angst Donatello again, is that allowed?”

HasTheBraincell:

Quieter, you can hear Don talking to Nardo.

“Yeah, apparently Leon told his Master Splinter that Raph was being rude to him and now we are waiting for him to talk to Raph? I’m not sure, I just wanted to join the robot conversation.”

“So why is Raph in a cupboard?”

“Hiding?”

“You know what? I don’t think I want to know anymore. I’m retiring.”

Egg:

“Ok boomer.”

LostTheBraincell:

In an exaggerated old man voice, Angelo scolds Tello.

“I will have you know, young man, back in my day we used to throw gameboys at youths who didn’t know when to shut their yappers and show some respect for us old folk!”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Just because you don’t like bombs doesn’t mean you have to ruin my fun, Raphael.”

Raphael:

“Yes it does. Especially in this case.”

Leerless-Feeder:

“This fight needs to start soon or else this voice call is going to turn into a sh*t hole.”

Egg:

“He rejected seeing dad beat down an alternate version of our brother who is hungover on strawberry milk! Do I need to take him to a vet? A doctor?”

LittleMike:

Michelangelo and Leonardo stare at each other for a few seconds. Leonardo spots the turtle in the younger’s hands.

“Michelangelo, not again –“

“Let me keep her and I will protect you from the snake! I’ll take it to the zoo!” Michelangelo blurts.

Leonardo doesn’t even hesitate.

“Deal!”

Raphael:

“No, no deal!”

LostTheBraincell:

Angelo continues to ramble in an old man voice.

“When I was a young hatchling I used to spend all day working in the mines to get food for my family, and I was grateful!”

MC-MIKEY:

“Hey hey hey waitwaitwait Orange didn’t you say you could like, juggle now? Can I see?!”

Steroids:

“Mike if you start tryin’ to juggle too I swear –“

f*ck:

“He’s bailed, I’m telling you! I didn’t even do anything wrong, I just called you a rat, which you were for snitching like that –“

LittleMike:

“Come on, dude! Chompy isn’t gonna be any trouble! She was a class pet before she got sick from the stress of getting tossed around!” Michelangelo raises the turtle to the camera so only her face can be seen. “I said to the doc I would keep her all cozy and stuff!”

f*ck:

Raph’s expression morphs into one of surprise, stopping mid rant.

“Wait, Chompy?” He asks.

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“I’d rather make a bomb then have to pack. I just got comfortable here.”

Leerless-Feeder:

“You would rather blow yourself up then pack a suitcase?”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Potentially blow myself up. And it’s two suitcases, so yes.”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Orange claps his hands and nods, snatching several bags of snacks from the arm rest next to him. He starts to juggle them, getting faster as he goes along.

MC-MIKEY:

Mike cheers enthusiastically, clapping hard and whooping.

Raphael:

“Last time we let you keep an animal for more than a day it ended up almost eating Donatello’s crazy lab stuff! Or what about that one time where your brought in that bear cub –“

Bread:

Master Splinter’s voice unexpectedly sounds from the microphone, making all the other conversations quieten.

“Who used the term rat in a bad way, hmm? Who?” He asks sharply. “And you were rude to my son, too? Calling him mean names?”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“You are…surprisingly different from our version of Master Splinter. Unexpected.”

f*ck:

“He was being a snitch! I don’t regret it.” Raph folds his arms the best he can in the cramped space. “My dad was a rat too, it’s not like –“

Bread:

Splinter continues.

“You are grounded!”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Blue gasps dramatically. Raph grumbles, tipping the rest of the chip packet down his throat before, after hesitating for a moment, eating the chip packet itself. Orange is jumping up and down on the chair, waving both flags. Purple is leaning forward intently, a grin on his face.

LittleMike:

Michelangelo has kept Chompy in front of the camera and is now singing tunes under his breath whilst gently rocking her to the beat. Occasionally he chirps, which Chompy responds to.

f*ck:

“Grounded?! You can’t do that! You’re not even my dad!” Raph says, getting louder.

Bread:

[Live stream recording]

“This is recording now, yes? Like a tv?” Master Splinter asks, peering at the camera. You can hear Leon confirm from behind the camera.

“Good. Now I can make eye contact whilst I ground you for using the term ‘rat’ in an offensive way, and –“ Splinter stops, his rant pausing as he looks at the screen. “Wait, did that giant Raphael just eat a chip packet?”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Red pauses, mid chew. Orange is still cheerleading mindlessly, not even aware of the argument anymore and instead doing twirls on one of the arm rests.

“Um. Yes. Sir. Yes sir.” Red says uncertainly. He is already reaching for another.

LostTheBraincell:

“Why is Red allowed to eat chip packets and I’m not – ow!”

MC-MIKEY:

“I almost choked eating one once. Then I did it again just to check.”

Bread:

“That’s not good, right?” Master Splinter grabs the phone, moving the camera closer to his face so he can peer at Red. “Do you need a vet? A hospital? Is there an inter dimensional doctor number we can call? Plastic is very bad for you!”

In the background, Leon can be heard saying:

“Dad, there’s not a number for a random vet that can travel across the multiverse, sorry.”

“Then make one! Or I find a way over there myself and then find a good vet that take out the plastic, yes?” Splinter turns back to the camera, frazzled. “Do not panic, Spiky Raph, I ate worse as a regular rat –“

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Red waves his hands dismissively, rubbing the back of his neck.

“No, you got it wrong alternate Pops! I eat plastic a lot!” He looks at the screen, seeing the alternate Master Splinter’s expression fall into further worry. “No, wait, that’s not what I meant –“

“What Raph was trying to say was that he’s immune to the ill effects of eating inedible things due to doing so for years, and our unique mutation which makes us resistant to most things that would kill anything else without question.” Purple says. He raises a finger as he explains. “Such as phones, chip packets, books, carpet, wet salami, literal rocks and raisins.” Purple shudders at the last item in the list. Red frowns.

“Raisins ain’t gonna kill you, Donnie.”

“I disagree. They are sensory war crimes.”

“Basically Raph here is our very own portable trash bin.” Blue summarises.

LostTheBraincell:

“Back in my day we ate sticks and leaves, because that’s what Mother Nature gave us.” Angelo reverts back to his old man voice.

“Do that voice one more time, and I will strap you to the front of the Battle Shell as a good ornament!” Raph can be heard yelling.

f*ck:

“You can’t f*cking ground me. That’s not a valid argument.” Raph says. He’s about to say more, but the cupboard door is flung open and a very angry Leo can be seen.

“Aw, shell.” Raph curses as his head snaps around at the sudden burst of light.

You.” Leo can be seen reaching a hand forward. Raph fumbles with his phone, and the connection is cut off.

[Live stream ended]

Bread:

“So you can just eat plastic?” Master Splinter calms down as he watches the live stream of the Rise universe. He sets the camera back on the table in front of him, humming in thought and studying them in silence.

After a moment, he smiles.

“Leonardo, you should invite these friends of yours over when you can travel, yes? I like them a lot.” He says. “Especially the spiky Raphael, who almost gave me a heart attack.” Despite the words, Splinter obviously means them light heartedly, as he smiles as he says them.

“We make it fun! We invite all of them, even the one that looks like a regular turtle.” Master Splinter points to Michelangelo’s screen, which is just a zoomed in live stream of the box turtle, Chompy. “And the angry Raphael once he is no longer grounded.”

MC-MIKEY:

“Sign me up dude! I love fun!”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“In other news, I have a bomb now. But I also accept the invite when we finally manage to travel without trapping the said traveller in another dimension forever or ripping a hole in the multiverse.”

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Red grins.

“Sounds great!” He gives a large smile, displaying his snaggle tooth.

“Who won?” Orange asks, pausing in his cheerleading dance. “I got lost in the art and missed everything.”

“I think we just got adopted.” Blue summarises. “Or invited to a party. Or both.”

Bread:

“How did you end up turning this into a party invite when you were supposed to be fighting one of them?” Leon asks in bewilderment. The stream cuts off, but not before you can see Splinter shrug his shoulders casually.

[Live stream ends]

LostTheBraincell:

“That was…unexpected. I bet three hundred dollars on Raph winning, do I win or lose if he was disqualified via angry Leo?”

Steroids:

“That wasn’t a fight. I’m pissed.”

Raphael:

No, Michelangelo, shoving the turtle in front of the camera isn’t going to change my mind. Donatello will side with me, he had to deal with the chicken that nested in his lab for a week and began to glow in the dark after it drank some of his geek stuff.”

MC-MIKEY:

“But that sounds super cool!”

Leerless-Feeder:

“So can anyone tell me why kid Raph is banned for a trillion years and no one can get him out?”

Egg:

“He’s sadly passed away. Funeral is next Saturday. Ggs.”

LostTheBraincell:

“Well, that entertained me for half an hour.” Angelo pauses. “Does anyone want to hear me scream until I pass out?”

MC-MIKEY:

“f*ck yeah! Can we do it together and harmonise?”

I_Crave_Chemicals:

“Never mind, I’m detonating this bomb, goodbye everyone.”

Chapter Text

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

WantsTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording]

[Leo has positioned his phone camera so it shows a large potion of the dojo. In the centre of the focus, he can be seen going through some advanced katas slowly, pausing occasionally to look back at the screen. He reads one of the messages, resulting in him smiling and nodding his head gently.

“That’s right. It is a different learning experience for everyone, but you should always start with finding your centre – your balance.” Leo repeats the current kata again, faster and more fluid. Both his legs kick outward, performing a split kick. His eyes scan over the messages again, chuckling and waving his hand dismissively.

“Thanks. It took me a while to get the split kick right when I was a teen, but now it’s easy – like walking.”]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

What kind of walk are you doing to say a split kick is as eassy lmao

Egg:

yeah I was right

dad tried to teach us this but stopped when mikey flew into the sun after getting too enthusiastic

he sprained his ankle

~MagicMike~:

So its okay if I do it a little different?

I gotta add my razzmatazz

LostTheBraincell:

What is it with Michelangelos and ankle injuries

WantsTheBraincell:

[Leo performs the split kick once more. Unexpectedly, Donny walks past him as he is mid-kick, staring down at what looks like three phones fused together with wires and extra scraps of metal. Leo’s kick is heading straight towards Don’s face, but the genius casually ducks within a split second to avoid the blow. He doesn’t look up from the gadget during this process or after, continuing to stroll as if nothing had happened. Leo, who’s face became panicked for a moment, finishes the kick and turns to face his retreating shell. He opens his mouth, about to say something, but instead just sighs with a shrug and returns to a fighting stance.]

MC-MIKEY:

DON WATCH OUT

NOOOOOO

Oh ok

He lives another day

LittleMike:

[Photo ID: a picture of his version of Chompy, a young turtle that had previously been a class pet. The turtle is in a small glass box, a heat lamp hanging over the top. The box has a makeshift pool of water surrounded by soil and rocks. A pile of root vegetables, such as carrots, are clumped in a corner. Chompy is facing the camera, a carrot stick hanging out of her mouth]

My bros said I could keep her!!!! Totally radical!!!

Bread:

oooooh I see

u made the move look much clearer thanks

Egg:

omg just had a heart attack for my egg brother

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I did not give consent to be called an egg

Donatello:

I do, I like it

Defines my character

AteTheBraincell:

How the f*ck does that define a character

WantsTheBraincell:

[Leo reads @Bread’s text, smiling wider.

“Sometimes all it takes is looking at it from a different perspective instead of getting caught in a loop of doing the same thing over and over again.” He pauses, smile fading as his expression grows a little more distant. “When you fail to get it right, it’s okay to look at it from a different angle or take a step back. I found this out the hard way, stuck doing the same kata and the same mistake until I got angry at myself. Learning is about finding out what works for you, not forcing yourself to conform to the same way as everyone else.”

There’s suddenly a crash and a loud curse.

“Goddammit Donny, look where you’re goin’!” Raph’s voice yells.]

CaptainLeo:

I remember learning split kicks, they were the worst at the time

I still have a bias against them just because I had to spend hours getting them right

Egg:

salty

Bread:

[Video recording]

For a moment only Leo’s plastron is in view as he straightens the camera. The focus swivels so it is directed more at his face, which has an excited smile on his face and he skips backwards a few steps.

“Okay okay okay – so it’s not one hundred percent there, but –“ Leo speaks to the camera once he is far back enough to be fully in frame. As he moves backwards, you can see that he is in what looks like the main room of the lair. It has a large couch to the right with a worn rug and beanbag. Mikey can be seen on the seat in question, legs crossed and one knee bouncing up and down as he stares at what looks to be a school book covered in doodles and pen graffiti. His brow is furrowed, pencil in his mouth, and is not paying attention to Leo’s antics.

Leo flaps his hands a few times before settling his movement, transitioning into the same stance Nardo (2003) had began in for his own split kick.

“I think I got the hang of it…or like, at least a little. Watch.” Leo says, looking briefly back at the camera. At the last word, Mikey looks up from his school book, rubbing his eye before brightening at the understanding of what his brother was about to try.

Jumping into the air, Leo performs a split kick to the best of his ability. The kick itself is correct, though his landing is a little flawed as his legs don’t fully close in time. It results in him stumbling over his own feet before fighting himself. Mikey claps happily, making a heart symbol out of his hands and holding it above his head. At the praise Leo looks pleased yet flustered, ducking his head into his shell a little shyly.

“Come on, it wasn’t that great…” Leo stammers as he moves towards the phone again, reaching out.

“It was epic! Maybe if you show dad he will un ban it because of how cool you made it look!” Mikey can be heard praising.

“I sense someone is doing a banned activity in here!” Splinter’s voice suddenly sounds from the next room. Leo squeaks in panic, turning off the video stream.

[video ends]

Raphael:

I was outvoted

It raises a lot of ethical questions if a giant turtle owns a smaller turtle

Red:

Raph aint flexible enough to pull that off

Ready to admit that

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Hes got stubby legs

Leonardo:

Wait, am I missing a training session?

AteTheBraincell:

What do you mean flew into the sun

How do I do that to my Mikey

LostTheBraincell:

*gasps in dehydrated sad turtle*

LittleMike:

Dude we’ve been watching old man Leo teach us some sick new moves!

Then I got distracted by Chompy and the fact she looked kind of sad so I am now making her a mini turtle stuffie to hang out with!!

CaptainLeo:

That was also a very nice tutorial on how to do a cross stitch

Though I did end up stabbing my hand too many times to even be funny

Leonardo:

Maybe once we find the snake and I can come out of my room again I will join in!

WantsTheBraincell:

[Leo, after moving closer and watching the video, gives a nod of approval. He then moves back again, beginning to talk through how to ensure balance is achieved at the end of the move.]

MC-MIKEY:

but like what if i want to cause kaos and squish everyone

balense is over rated bro

LostTheBraincell:

Death by getting crushed by turtle

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Slay

Egg:

@AteTheBraincell idk how he managed to do it but I swear he flew like ten miles when he was only supposed to jump

LostTheBraincell:

Jokes on you

Michelangelos have no weaknesses other than just being too cool

I_Crave_Chemcials:

Said no one ever

Bread:

ok I will practice later dad said that if he sees another split kick “within the range of the very nice and reliable furniture that never did anything wrong and doesnt deserve to be smashed into itty bitty pieces” he will make me try on mikeys clothes which ngl are an assault to all the senses

LittleMike:

I think his fashion sense is mondo cool!

Raphael:

You would

Donatello:

It’s…ambitious?

Bread:

[Photo ID: a picture of Mikey in an orange Hawaiian t-shirt, paired with some clashing pants. He also has a bucket hat on his head, several bracelets and odd socks. He is posing for the camera, sticking out his tongue and holding up a peace sign with his fingers. He has an oversized rucksack slung over one shoulder, books and art supplies hanging out of it. The bag also clashes, having an obnoxious, bright pattern.]

i love that hes expressing himself but i will pass out if i have to wear that

LostTheBraincell:

Someone get me a bucket hat stat

~MagicMike~:

I kind of dig it I will be honest

Bootyyyshaker9000:

What am I looking at

What is this assault to fashion

WantsTheBraincell:

[Leo is going through more katas, moving on to another type of kick. He pauses when his Mikey can be heard yelling from another room.

“Leo, can I get a bucket hat? Raph says I will look stupid but he’s wrong!” The younger asks. Leo doesn’t even bother looking up from his focused gaze.

“No.” He replies flatly.]

Steroids:

@Red I feel you

We are just too muscular for that fancy sh*t

~MagicMike~

As an aspiring ballet dancer I disapprove

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I thought you were an aspiring mime?

Raphael:

Didn’t you want to be a clown or something?

~MagicMike~:

I have broad horizons

Red:

Exactly

Too much of a powerhouse to bother with that stuff

We just smash things

LostTheBraincell:

Someone give me a bucket hat

Someone give me two bucket hats

I pay in plastic babies, paper clips, or wet toilet paper

WantsTheBraincell:

[Leo is talking through a kick, going through it slowly. He takes time to explain how he redistributes his weight, but stops when he looks up at the chat messages again.

“No, he won’t pay in wet toilet paper.” Leo says. “Don’t encourage him.”]

CaptainLeo:

That’s such a resourceful way to redistribute weight with a shell, I have to try that

Though I spent so long mastering the move with my shell it would feel odd doing it a different way now

Donatello:

A healthy reminder that I do love a bit of yoga

I side with flexibility I’m afraid

Bootyyyshaker9000:

No turtle shall ever outdo me in flexibility

The one benefit of having a soft shell is that every time I bend backwards my ignorant brothers have a marginal meltdown

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Have you seen the size of orange’s shell??

It’s basically almost as big as him and twice as wide

I would cry too if I had a shell like that and then saw another turtle snap backwards like it was nothing

LostTheBraincell:

What about dry toilet paper

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@Tech i can see you reading all of these

Just pointing that out

So maybe could you let the kid raph back in?

Just as a maybe

He keeps robbing phones from his brothers and if I have to start a voice call with @Egg again and instead hear him threatening you for an hour I will do something with mildly unethical/immoral undertones

MC-MIKEY:

@LostTheBraincell keep talking

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Getting ghosted damn

CaptainLeo:

And there he goes

He really does not like us

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Then why must he linger and fuel my curiosity!

He has been ignoring my messages which is very rude, I don’t know how anyone could ignore me personally

Raphael:

How many messages did you send?

WantsTheBraincell:

[Leo is about to start another kata after answering some questions. However, he is interrupted when he spots Mikey trying to sneak past with a roll of toilet paper and a chain of paper clips. At the end of the paper clip chain, a plastic baby hangs by the arm.

“Turn back.” Leo warns. Mikey hesitates, looking down at the bundle of items in his hands and then back up at his older brother.

“Mikey –“ but it’s too late; Mikey bolts from the room, followed closely by Leo who sprints after him. The live stream now shows an empty dojo, and you can hear various bangs and curses in the distance.]

MC-MIKEY:

mmm paper clips

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Only 568 as of last week

Red:

Purple

Bootyyyshaker9000:

He never told me to stop so I took that as a queue to keep going

Persistence is key!

CaptainLeo:

There’s persistence and then there’s…that

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Excuse my twin hes like this a lot

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Excuse my twin he’s very dumb and forgets I can hack into his robot arm at any moment for a bit of fun

~MagicMike~:

@Tech pretty please???

He missed the biweekly gap tooth meet up which is just tragic

We are a minority

Raphael:

The what

WantsTheBraincell:

[Donny walks past, looking down at his strange device again. He almost walks straight into a punching bag, but Raph jumps into frame to redirect him. Don doesn’t take notice, continuing to walk as if nothing had happened.

Raph sighs, running a hand down his face before looking at the camera with an unamused expression.

“You see that? Don’t be like that.” He says, walking closer to the phone. He shuts off the live stream.]

[Live stream ends]

Egg:

wise words

~MagicMike~:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of a group chat titled “Turtles aren’t even supposed to have teeth so why…” – the rest of the title trails off, too long for the screen preview. In the chat, you can see on the left side that the members are @I_Crave_Chemicals, @~MagicMike~ and @Bacon.

To the right, you can see the most recent message. It is Orange, who has texted: “there are only two of us now. A moment of silence.”]

Donatello:

So if I knocked out a tooth, would I get a free pass?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Send in an application and we will review it

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@Bootyyyshaker9000 you wouldnt

Im too likeable

And you love this arm more than you love uranium you would not hurt your baby

Leonardo:

No, don’t knock out a tooth?

We don’t have many

Steroids:

Hey ive got a back tooth missing

i tried to eat a rock as a kid

AteTheBraincell:

Good, eating rocks builds character and makes you tougher

Bread:

doubt it somehow

Cheese:

whats wrong with my fashion

Im starting a trend

the turtle trend

LittleMike:

I totally dig the T-shirt little dude <3

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Alas, you win this time Blue

You called my bluff, that arm is far too magnificent to risk damage

CaptainLeo:

Why would you eat rocks

Actually scratch that I remember Raph trying to eat rocks

Egg:

why is raph eating rocks a cannon event

Red:

Theyre a good snack if youre bored

Raphael:

Hey, don’t rope me into this

MC-MIKEY:

i gotta try this dude

Leerless-Feeder:

If you do Im not saving your ass when master Splinter finds out and puts you in the hashi

CaptainLeo:

Again

What is this ‘hashi’

Steroids:

Hell

Cheese:

i like the vibes i give

bucket hats are my fav u cant go wrong

AteTheBraincell:

Whoever just sent rocks through the mail, thanks for the snack

I was hungry anyway

Leonardo:

Have I mentioned you guys frighten me?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Well I mean technically no vet has ever said to not let turtles eat rocks

MC-MIKEY:

U really ruining my dreams big bro

Bootyyyclapper9000:

As much as I love the thought of eating rocks, I will have to pass

I don’t want to

Yknow

Die

CaptainLeo:

This conversation even scared @Tech off

How is this even a debate

Whoever started the poll on which rocks tastes the best needs to be isolated

LostTheBraincell:

I got the goods who said they had a bucket hat

Oh wait rocks

Yum

MC-MIKEY:

Yeeeeessss I want the goods man

Leerless-Feeder:

Since when did you even have a bucket hat

MC-MIKEY:

emergensies

>> Cult of The Michelangelo <<

LostTheBraincell:

So then Silver Sentry manages to reflect the mind control beam with the broken piece of spaceship and it hits The Puppeteer straight in the face

So now she’s under her own mind control, which sends her into a feedback loop as she can’t control minds when she’s receiving orders from herself, so Silver Sentry captures her and frees all the other Justice Force team!

I kinda drew that part first though rather than last because my brain got bored

MC-MIKEY:

Duuude tell me about it I just cant

My brain is all like ‘whoa do this it’s gonna be totally cool’ but then like I see something else lol

LostTheBraincell:

Donny will probably help later

Redirect the brain waves

LittleMike:

That idea is totally sick dude!!!!

You gotta send me a copy!

Tech:

My Mikey had the same issue but he stopped it by taking small five minute breaks or so

Seemed to inspire his brain again

MC-MIKEY:

Yo what if the pupet lady is not actually the pupet lady??

the big twist is that shes been under control all this time but like no one knew so the bad guy is still free and the whole thing was one big distraction

Cheese:

dude you are cooking here

feasting on this drama

distracting me from my homework how dare

Tech:

More homework?

Homework was originally created as punishment, not mandatory, so therefore don’t do it

LostTheBraincell:

YES

LittleMike:

Then you could leave it on a huge cliffhanger!

That’s so hyped!

Cheese:

I mean kinda??

Its the same stuff but she got mad cos it used a different method than what was taught

~MagicMike~:

This is why school confuses me

Tech:

Excuse me??

MC-MIKEY:

its still wild u are actualy a superhero

LostTheBraincell:

The turtle titan, yep!

I do the evening/night patrols every now and then but more of the civilian protection than front lines because I do that way too much

So I help humans get out of the danger zone, or help if a building collapses, or if they are hurt

The shield is very useful for protecting them

LittleMike:

That’s SO COOL <3

Tech:

[Live stream recording]

[Tech is sitting in the centre of the camera, papers scattered around him. His face is illuminated by several computers in the darkness, his headset resting on top of his head. His mask is not around his eyes, showing the deep bags under them. His eyes also look bloodshot at the edges, but they narrow in determination as he fumbles for a pen.

“What does she know, “different method”…does she know I have 4 PHDs. You know, smarter than Einstein? And she thinks she can mark you down because it didn’t conform to her standards? Not on my watch.” Tech mumbles. He scrawls on the paper angrily, then looks up at the screen.

“What do you want me to be? And no, I’m not saying I’m your long lost mother.” ]

Cheese:

Idk

What are you doing tho

MC-MIKEY:

your pissed holy sh*t

LostTheBraincell:

Mad uncle twice removed

~MagicMike~

Grunkle

Tech:

[Tech reads the texts on the screen before looking back down at the paper and writing.

“I am writing a note to your teacher to tell her to piss off and give you the marks. I’ve very kindly told her about my intelligence level and how she’s extremely wrong. You worked hard on that work, I’m not letting her loose argument invalidate that.” He furrows his brow, about to write more, when there’s a knock on his door.

Immediately, Tech freezes, glaring down at the table.

“I heard you talkin’, Donnie.” A gruff voice sounds from the other side. “Are you actually gonna come out of your hole today? Leo’s been asking for you and I’m pissed you’re still being petty about all this sh*t. Can’t you just…open the damn door?” The voice, now identified as Raph, says in an aggressive tone. However, there’s another emotion underneath which becomes more apparent as he releases a sigh that sounds more tired.

Donnie remains staring down at the paper, his eyes far away and a snarl tracing his features.

“Fine. Be that f*cking way.” Raph mutters. Heavy footsteps recede.]

LostTheBraincell:

Are you okay there?

Tech:

[Tech waits until there is complete silence, then continues to write less angrily than before.

“Right. So I’ve said that I – your Grunkle twice removed, by the way – think she’s stupid and asks for your homework to be remarked for it’s accuracy rather than the use of whatever degenerate method the school want you to use.” He says, showing the letter to the screen. “Show that to her, and if she refuses say I am going to track her down with my…pet…bear. Yeah, pet bear I tamed in the war or something.” He says. “Got that?”]

Cheese:

Yessir

Thank u

MC-MIKEY:

i want a pet bear

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a selfie of a very panicked Mikey. From head to toe, he is glowing a bright green]

HELP I DRANK SOMETHING IN DONNIES LAB AND NOW IM A GLOWSTICK JAKAKSK

Tech:

[Tech blinks for a few seconds. He blinks again, then runs a hand down his face.

“I don’t even want to ask why.” He says.]

MC-MIKEY

TAKE IT BACK I WANNA GLOW LIKE TJAT

LostTheBraincell:

Respect

~~Electro~~:

AAAAAAHHHH

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

Tech:

@I_Crave_Chemicals fix your Mikey, he’s now a glowstick

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Excuse me?

Why do you only ever speak to tell me stuff like this

No wait

Come back and explain right now

Chapter Text

>>Council Of The Dons<<

Bonk (Amethyst):

I might have to put a restriction on the amount of images you can send within a certain time period, does the council agree?

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Reasoning?

Bonk (Amethyst):

Oh good, someone is awake!

I was worried everyone might have a normal sleeping schedule, but I am happy to be wrong :)

Oh, right!

Excuse my rambles, gentleturtles

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Nonsense, I do love a good ramble to clear the mind!

Donatello (Grape):

Sometimes I just talk to myself in the mirror

Or one of my clones

Despite being evil, they’re very good listeners

Bonk (Amethyst):

I

Um

Ramble a lot

But this is a technical concern

The Raphael chat is starting to lag out, it looks like they are posting too many pictures of motorbikes from what I can take a peak at

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

That is so Raphael branded it almost hurts me

Donatello (Grape):

Care to explain? I am caught up making a disco heat lamp right now so I cannot fully engage

Bonk (Amethyst):

[Video Recording]

Dee is under his bed covers, giving a quick grin to the camera before flipping his phone around. In his hand, he holds a phone with a cracked screen and multiple carvings on the phone case – it is his Raph’s phone, which displays the Raphael group chat.

“Okay, I had a peak when it kept buzzing and I think I know why we keep getting performance delays. Look!” Dee whispers. He scrolls through the messages quickly. They’re all just pictures of motorbikes and cars, as well as sais and various other weapons. In between photos, other versions of Raphael are either praising the subject of the photo in question or have voice recordings of revving engines. The chat is going at a rapid fire pace, all the Raphs constantly posting more photos. One of the most recent ones is just a piece of brick with the caption of “you aren’t the strongest until you eat one of these bad boys” followed by Red posting a picture of him biting into a chunk of brick with ease.

[Video ends]

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I can smell the testosterone from all the way over here

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

At least I know why my Raph is revving his motorbike engine at one in the morning?

But I do see, I think the council can agree on implementing this?

Donatello (Grape):

Agreed!

Bonk (Amethyst):

Lilac, you’re awake too?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

It’s late afternoon for me

I would be happily upgrading metal head but instead someone decided to drink chemicals and turn into a glow stick

[Video Recording]

Donnie opens his lab door, his phone shaking with the movement. At the end of the corridor area, you can see Mikey sat on the floor, sadly playing a recorder as he glows a luminous green. He has a paper hat on his head which says “DUNCE”, hastily taped together.

“You learnt your lesson yet?” Donnie asks. Mikey turns to look at him, playing a longer, sadder note on the recorder that squeaks at the end.

[End recording]

Bonk (Amethyst):

That is the saddest and the funniest thing I have seen all day, thank you

Donatello (Grape):

So if one of my brothers makes himself glow, will this Tech guy talk to me?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I genuinely don’t know what he drank to cause this

He might have made himself permanently a traffic light for all I know

Donatello (Grape):

That kind of takes the ninja out of ninja turtles

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

I don’t suppose anyone wants a quick game of chess?

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

I was summoned by the promise of chess!

Bonk (Amethyst):

I’ve almost finished the code to free kid raph from isolation, but after that I will probably take down this motorbike worship happening with the Raphs

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I think I might just put Mikey in the decontamination chamber until I know exactly what he did

His eyes are now glowing different colors

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

That sounds…interesting?

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

If he perishes, may I dissect him in the name of science?

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Purple

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Why must you ruin my education

Slams fists on table!

Donatello (Grape):

Somehow I don’t think the network will allow that

Bonk (Amethyst):

This is why I told my Mikey that I have a tiny clone of myself living in the test tubes that will bite his toes if he tries to get in

Donatello (Grape):

Pardon?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

[Photo ID: a picture of Mikey in a big, purple hamster ball. He has his face smooshed against the side, recorder still in his mouth as he looks at his brother with begging eyes]

As you can see, the blueprints for the giant hamster ball Purple gave me are being out to good use

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Lavender

Lavender

Lavender

Accept my chess invitation

Lavender

Lavender

Lavender

HasTheBraincell:

As long as you let me play white side not black this time

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

But the white pieces fit much better with my purple color scheme

Black is too close to the dark shades of purple I use for everything because it is the superior color

Donatello (Grape):

Maybe the glow will fade?

Otherwise he could make a great night light

Bonk (Amethyst):

Yes, I have ran the numbers and purple is superior to any other color

And yes, I may have accidentally made Mikey have nightmares for months about the mini me scurrying the halls at night but it is effective

Donatello (Grape):

I could probably whip up another cloning machine quickly then use my shrink ray to make that idea a reality for you, if you like?

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

I hate to do it, but I’m pulling the “I’m older than you so you do as I say” card, Purple

I am on the white team

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Long, exasperated sigh!

Fine!

I will still break you down into atoms!

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

No one has beaten me so far

Game on

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

[Photo ID: a blurred image of Mikey rolling away in the giant hamster ball with a wild grin]

He’s GETTING AWAY

Perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to put the embodiment of ADHD is what is basically a giant hamster ball

Bonk (Amethyst):

As tempting as that sounds to test, I really think Master Splinter would lock me in the Hashi for life if I do that

Who knows, he could embrace the fact he has a another (possibly evil???) son

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

@I_Crave_Chemicals good luck catching him

Bonk (Amethyst):

Oh man, Mike would tear apart the lair and possibly the entirety of New York if he has a giant hamster ball

No one let him know this exists!

Donatello (Grape):

Um, hate to break it to you but that might be too late

Take a look at the main chat…

Bonk (Amethyst):

No

No

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

[Video Recording]

Donnie is filming one of his computers which shows security footage of the lair. The contents are empty for a few moments, displaying an empty scene of the living room aside from Raph dozing in a chair with Chompy on his plastron. Then, there is a loud crash and Mikey – inside the hamster ball still – shoots across the screen, the glow of his body making him look like a ghost with the black and white footage. Raph sits up instantly and yells as the hamster ball heads his way. He grabs Chompy and dives off the sofa just as Mikey crashes into the whole thing with crazed laughter.

Just as quickly, Mikey leaves again, leaving Raph staring around at the ruin in complete confusion. He looks directly at the camera, mouthing “what the f*ck?”.

[video ends]

So I am willing to admit I may have made an error in judgement when I didn’t secure the containment chamber to the floor

Maybe

Donatello (Grape):

Are you going to fix it?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Definitely not

That would mean I would get in trouble for my wrongdoings which is not desired

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Purple are you trying to cheat in chess right now?

Purple

Egg (Violet):

SOMEONE LET ME BACK IN THE CHAT OR A SWEAR I WILL THROW HANDS MAN

Donatello (Grape):

I guess kid Raph has managed to steal Violet’s phone again, what a plot twist

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

@Tech please let him in again he keeps bullying Violet and stealing his phone and I am getting very tired

Donatello (Grape):

Tired in general or tired of kid Raph?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Yes

Egg (Violet):

Wait why do u guys get nicknames too

Anyways

LET ME BACK IKSJSKAKA HH A.

SJ

1

Bonk (Amethyst):

I can’t stop Mike

Lilac you cannot let your Mikey give him the hamster ball please

Donatello (Grape):

[Photo ID: a picture of a miniature version of Donatello being help up by the lip of his shell with tweezers]

Mini evil clone prototype a success!

CaptainLeo:

I think I should stop him before he escapes the sewers

Be right back

Egg:

not my fault raph went awol with my phone

LostTheBraincell:

How do I glow

I think I would look cool

Leerless-Feeder:

[Video recording]

“Look at this sh*t.” Leo mutters, twisting his phone so it displays what he’s looking at. Across the room, Mikey is following Donnie, skipping and jumping around him whilst holding a piece of paper.

“Dude dude dude you gotta see my vision! It would be so sick! And you could make it have lasers, and those cool light things at clubs, and it could have a speaker – and like, loads of those balls from a ball pit inside it – come on, you gotta at least build one! Please!” Mikey rambles, thrusting the paper in Donnie’s face and giving him a begging look. “Look at my eyes, bro! See how much my soul needs this!”

Donnie, who has been looking down at his phone and trying to ignore him, looks like he’s about to give into his demands once the youngest weaponises the “I’m the baby brother” look. However, just as he is about to open his mouth, Raph charges in with a war cry.

He has a large bedsheet tucked under one hand which, upon reaching Mikey, he throws over his head and scoops him up in. Mikey is trapped in the bedsheet, squirming, as he is tossed over Raph’s shoulder. Raph does this all whilst keeping most of his momentum, continuing to run out of the room once he has captured the youngest.

[Video ends]

This is how you deal with an annoying brother

AteTheBraincell:

Nah, locking them in a box is better

>@Bootyyyshaker9000 has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @HasTheBraincell for180 minutes <

LostTheBraincell:

You tried to ship me halfway across the world

Leonardo:

I think that’s against the law?

~~Electro~~:

THEY ARENT TAKING ME ALIVE

I LIVE HERE NOW

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Raphael:

Wait, the pacifist snapped?

How did Purple manage that?

HasTheBraincell:

He’s a cheater

LostTheBraincell:

WantsTheBraincell:

LostTheBraincell:

Ye of little faith

I could change

I never do anything wrong

Leonardo:

You make me scared of your universe

LostTheBraincell:

CaptainLeo:

He in a stream trying to sail himself “out to sea”

In a giant hamster ball

Also, why is he glowing

Donnie

LostTheBraincell:

Don’t worry

Michelangelos glow all the time

LittleMike:

Once I accidentally swallowed a glow stick and I ended up glowing like that

Egg:

yeah but u basically live in a cartoon

pretty sure that could kill anyone else

LostTheBraincell:

That’s once again the haters talking

Everyone find your closest glow stick and take a bite

>@LostTheBraincell has been put inThe Isolation Chamberby @HasTheBraincell for180 minutes <

HasTheBraincell:

Stopping that before all hell breaks loose

Leerless-Feeder:

Good call

Bread:

brother against brother

AteTheBraincell:

Trust me you don’t want to leave him unsupervised when he’s bored

This sh*t happens

Leonardo:

Did we ever find out why @~~Electro~~ was glowing?

CaptainLeo:

he tried some of Donnie’s chemical experiments that “looked like Kool aid but cooler”

Cheese:

Cant fault that

WantsTheBraincell:

Yes, yes you can?

AteTheBraincell:

Kid don’t drink chemicals that look like Kool aid

Period

Why the shell do I have to say this

Raphael:

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Klunk curled up on a tattered cushion]

~MagicMike~:

Hail

~~Electro~~:

Mother

LittleMike:

<3

Tech:

This is the 186 th photo you’ve sent today of your cat

You keep making me think there’s an emergency

LostTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of a zoomed in picture of Klunk.]

No Klunkers?

Tech:

You’re not funny

LostTheBraincell:

Weeping right now dude

~MagicMike~:

(He’s just jealous of Mother)

Cheese:

Uno?

Tech:

I’m not telling you again

No

I’m busy on patrol I am not playing Uno

Cheese:

Now im weeping too :(

U promised

i got receipts!

Tech:

You have nothing on me, liar

LittleMike:

How are you talking to us then if you’re on patrol dude?

Seems like he’s scared of our radical uno skills if you ask me compadres

~MagicMike~:

I am the uno champion

LostTheBraincell:

That’s because you finish on a +4 every time

Where is your honour

Where is your pride

As Leo would say, “something something bushido”

Tech:

Bushido does not apply to an online card game

~~Electro~~:

(Hater)

Tech:

I am speaking to you through text to speech for the record

I don’t know why

Cheese:

U love us that much

Tech:

No

Cheese:

weeping harder

LittleMike:

Are your other bros with you on patrol? It’s super dangerous to go alone dude and I don’t wanna see you hurt :(

~~Electro~~:

No I think Tech is just scared of our uno talents

Tech:

They are close by, unfortunately

We have split up partially to cover more ground, the foot have been skirting around us all night

Cheese:

the foot?

that name stinks

LostTheBraincell:

Yeah I never understood why they picked the worst body part

I would rebrand to the toe or something and fully embrace the body part theme

MC-MIKEY:

KLUNK

and tech u promised to do uno if we stopped eating glow sticks until you made the shiny candy

Tech:

Yes but then I get a message literally an hour later about how you almost choked to death on a glow bracelet

MC-MIKEY:

worth it lol

LittleMike:

I gotta say you do eat plastic a lot dude

Is that safe for mutants?

MC-MIKEY:

C O N S U M E

~MagicMike~:

C r o n c h

Tech:

And this is why you lost your uno promise from me

I haven’t had time anyway, I’ve actually been finding small traces of my Mikey’s dna lately in some areas

LostTheBraincell:

So he’s still in New York?

That’s sick dude, one step closer to finding him hopefully

Tech:

Exactly

The foot are being much more active lately through so they are shutting down my time for further investigations

Cheese:

sorry I took up ur time with my math stuff :(

it didnt even matter anyway

MC-MIKEY:

Wait dude ur out????

i sent over this cool candy bar with like marshmelows that April got me but i like totaly thought u would like it more cos it was purple and sh*t and kinda like a pop tart so i sent it

Tech:

I told you to stop sending me things

~MagicMike~:

It’s not my fault I always cook too many portions and then have to send your guys some stuff

Tis the Michelangelo way

Tech:

I’m not a Michelangelo

LostTheBraincell:

Wrong, you were sworn into secrecy

You cannot leave our thriving community

Tech:

It’s a cult

~~Electro~~:

Sssshhhhhhhhh

Tech:

Quiet, glow stick

~~Electro~~:

I’ll have you know I’m only half glow stick now

Tech:

Doesn’t matter, my brain is now referring to you as that because I do not want to call any of you by your name and refuse to

And you were stupid

LostTheBraincell:

That’s understandable

Can I be called Turtle Titan

Just putting in a request

MC-MIKEY:

I wanna be called daisy

sick name

Tech:

You are all very distracting

And kid, your math work wasn’t distracting me it was very simple stuff to someone of my intellect. The teacher was at fault, trying to force you to think like the others and conform

Wait, it didn’t matter?

Ow

f*ck

Wait don’t record that

Wait stop

Stop it

Great

LostTheBraincell:

Rip

Tech:

I stubbed my toe

LittleMike:

I always wondered why we don’t invest in shoes

LostTheBraincell:

Yeah but clothes are gross

I vote everyone runs around naked like us

Then they will understand

Tech:

Understand what?

LostTheBraincell:

Everything

Cheese:

the teachers had a meeting with mg dad yesterday and are mad im not keeping up with the others

Idk

Dad didnt say much he said they didnt understand me but like hes my dad hes gonna be biased

LostTheBraincell:

Dude you’re not the one with a problem here

Didn’t you understand the work when Tech taught you?

I think the humans just aren’t willing to see that some people are different, not stupid

Tech:

They said what

Cheese:

Thanks for trying to hype me but I feel kinda stupid

Like yeah i get it eventually so thats good? But everyone else gets it so much faster and does it how the teacher explains

LittleMike:

I feel you, dude

Everyone thinks you’re slow because you have different mojo which just doesn’t get along well with the other dudes

MC-MIKEY:

Uuuughhhh dude totally get it

It’s all easy to just say someone is braindead or some sh*t

We are just waaaayyyyy cooler

~MagicMike~:

Too cool for school

And math

LostTheBraincell:

What is math never heard of her

Cheese:

u know what would cheer me up more than this hype squad tho?

Uno

Tech:

Stop manipulating me it’s not working

I -

What do you mean increased activity?

East?

I’m heading over there now

LostTheBraincell:

Is everything okay?

~~Electro~~:

Why is the foot trying to stop our uno propaganda campaign

Tech:

I can see that, Leo

It’s an ambush –

LittleMike:

Tech?

MC-MIKEY:

holy sh*t did the foot get him???

Cheese:

Tech?

Hes offline what the heck

LostTheBraincell:

I’m sure everything is fine, don’t worry

We’ve been in enough scraps before, just stay calm okay?

He’s a good ninja

~MagicMike~:

Good point

Our foot were mostly paper soldiers which are very flammable

As an aspiring ballet dancer/mime/therapist/pest controller/artist/pyromaniac they aren’t much of a challenge

MC-MIKEY:

hope hes ok :(

@Tech dude u cant dip like that come back

LostTheBraincell:

Why does your list of careers keep getting longer

~MagicMike~:

I am a very good multitasker

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles<<

Bread:

another day goes by without bacon

u cant have a bacon egg and cheese without the bacon

HasTheBraincell:

You would think I would be able to solve his security protocols faster seeing as I made a way to take people to the cyber world but no

@Tech I salute your coding skills

Even if it is at the detriment of Bacon

f*ck:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of Raph’s T-phone. It shows that there is a poll currently in progress which reads: “Who gives big chihuahua energy?”. Underneath, all four options are the same – a picture of 2012 Raph’s face zoomed in to the point where it is pixelated]

Who the f*ck started this

Say goodbye to your kneecaps

Leerless-Feeder:

It’s not wrong

Raphael:

I would feel offended if it wasn’t true

Leonardo:

Don’t be mean :(

I didn’t sign it anyway

Raphael:

Don’t worry, I signed it twice for you

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I have been trying to break it to him for years

f*ck:

f*ck you

CaptainLeo:

@HasTheBraincell wait you went to a cyber world? That sounds just like Space Heroes episode!

Why, if you don’t mind me asking? And was it fun? What did you do? Did you have cool suits?

We went to space but that sounds much cooler and almost impossible in a good way!

AteTheBraincell:

Pretty sure my Don made it have a stupid amount of votes

HasTheBraincell:

Me? Never

LittleMike:

@TECH_SUPPORT_FOR_THE_INFERIOR

Dude I wanna ask something it’s kinda important

Red:

Purple why did you rename the tech support that

I know it was you

Stop ignoring me

I can see you reading these

Purple

Bootyyyclapper9000:

[Photo ID: a picture of Purple sitting on a kitchen chair, a bowl of plain noodles next to him as he is looking down at his phone. His face directly contrasts his lax posture – it is nervous, eyes determinedly not leaving the screen despite the looming shadow of Red that covers him. Red himself is a couple of inches behind Purple, staring down at him with narrowed eyes and arms folded.]

f*ck:

I’m not a f*cking chihuahua

Egg:

i smell

denial

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@LittleMike welcome to Donatello Technical Support, I will be your designated Donatello for your technical needs for today

What do you need?

Bread:

yeah ngl all raphs give angry small dog vibes

sorry man

Donatello:

Michelangelo what’s wrong?

HasTheBraincell:

@CaptainLeo unfortunately it was created in undesired circ*mstances, our Master Splinter took a hit for Angelo as we were travelling back to the future from a living virus and got scattered across the digital world

And yes, we had cool suits

Cool suits are a necessity

f*ck:

It would be very easy for me to throw a scrawny kid like you @Bread

Just saying

Steroids:

Do I look like a f*cking chihuahua to you

LittleMike:

Can you do something to maybe get in contact with @Tech? I think he’s in a fight and he went offline

I just wanna check he’s okay, it’s been like almost an hour since we heard from him and I’m starting to freak out

Leerless-Feeder:

You’re still talking to him?

HasTheBraincell:

Angelo asked me the same question not too long ago, I’m afraid not

It’s still a mystery how he got through (or rather, how his Michelangelo’s phone got through) to this server in the first place

I_Crave_Chemicals:

What he said

If he has disconnected there isn’t much I can do

LittleMike:

Nothing?

I just got a bad feeling

Donatello:

Like a bad bad feeling?

LittleMike:

Yeah

One of those

CaptainLeo:

I wondered why Mikey was quiet

Im sure everything is okay

Red:

Is that the mystery Donnie that is lurkin in here sometimes?

Cheese:

yeah he likes doing that

can you not like do what they do in movies and hack his phone to listen to audio or something?

HasTheBraincell:

Sorry, that isn’t how it works

Leerless-Feeder:

Why do you care about him so much

He hasn’t spoken to most of us unless it’s to say how much he hates us

LittleMike:

He’s a good dude, dude

I just know it

AteTheBraincell:

We don’t know sh*t

Raphael:

Hey, lay it off

Even if I don’t like it Michelangelo’s intuition has never been wrong

I don’t trust the edge lord but I trust my brother

Steroids:

We still dont know how or why his mikey is gone

Mikey wouldnt ever just run away

Raphael:

You’re saying Michelangelo is lying?

Cheese:

its not like that

hes just really hurt!

Steroids:

Then tell us why hes so hurt hes disowned his own brothers

How could any of us do that??

HasTheBraincell:

Just because you can’t imagine it doesn’t mean it can’t happen, unfortunately

I know it’s hard to see a universe where everything isn’t happy. I’ve seen this first hand

You try and push it away because you don’t want it to be true, because if it is then what stops it from happening in your universe? Where is the line drawn?

I understand your anger, but please keep an open mind and do not let it take over your empathy.

@LittleMike the only thing I can say right now is that the connection was not cut off forcefully. Tech made the conscious decision, for what reason we don’t know, to stop talking to you guys through the text to speech. Perhaps he did not want you to hear his struggle in the fight

LittleMike:

Thanks so much for the info even if it is tiny

I still can’t shake the bad feeling though which is a bummer

Somethings wrong

Leerless-Feeder:

@HasTheBraincell you’re right

I apologise for my hasty actions

It’s hard hearing about a Leonardo that has lost his brothers like that

It’s like you said

And I’m sure my Raphael knows this too

AteTheBraincell:

Trust you to talk sense, brainiac

HasTheBraincell:

I try

WantsTheBraincell:

I think it’s best to leave this subject of conversation for now and await Tech to be online

Egg:

yeah agreed

not really a fan of the whole argument thing

HasTheBraincell:

@LostTheBraincell dispatch emergency distraction protocol!

LostTheBraincell:

Did I ever tell anyone about the time I ate ten ghost peppers in a row to see if it would make me breathe fire like in cartoons

CaptainLeo:

How are you alive

Raphael:

Excuse me, how

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Okay fine

You have distracted me

How, why and why again

LostTheBraincell:

I wanted to breathe fire

Duh

Red:

Been there

I feel you brother

Steroids:

What the actual f*ck

>>Cult Of The Michelangelo<<

MC-MIKEY:

its been too long dudes

Like three hours this isnt normal right???

Cheese:

@Tech

@Tech

LittleMike:

@Tech if you saw what they were saying in the main chat room don’t listen to that bogus

I know you’re a good dude

LostTheBraincell:

As hard as it sounds, I think everyone needs to take a step back and chill for now

Us worrying isn’t going to solve anything as much as that sucks

I think we all know it’s better to stop brooding over things and let go for a bit

Cheese:

@Tech

~~Electro~~:

Using our own advice against us

How dare you

~MagicMike~:

Whaat if hes h urt?1

Sry shaky armns again :(

LostTheBraincell:

Ok that’s it

As Your Loving Father Micheal, Oldest Michelangelo and Chief Preacher Of Mother Klunk, I am starting a movie livestream right now

You are all going to get your butts on that call and we are going to watch Barbie and the magical Pegasus and it’s going to be fun

I have enough snacks for everyone

MC-MIKEY:

Chapter Text

>> The Isolation Chamber <<

Bacon:

how many years left here do i have

Leerless-Feeder:

[Live stream recording]

[Leo in the middle of singing “Hurt” by Johnny Cash. The light strumming from a guitar can also be heard coming from his phone. He is looking dramatically to the side of the camera.]

LostTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording]

[Mikey is playing a well-loved guitar, accompanying Lee’s vocals of “Hurt”. He plays the chords with his fingers, and strums using a specialised attachment to his amputated arm that has been spray painted purple in various, messy blotches. He is shaking his head sadly as Lee reaches the chorus, a tooth pick in his mouth that he rolls across his teeth. His gaze is fixed on his guitar, leaning back in an old desk chair.]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Still about a trillion years

Give or take

Bacon:

A TRILLION YEARS

WHAT

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I thought live streams were not allowed in The Chamber?

Leerless-Feeder:

[“What have I become, my sweetest friend?” Leo sings in a low, gravelly voice which sounds close to the original song.]

LostTheBraincell:

[Mikey strums the guitar louder, closing his eyes dramatically as the song reaches its final chorus]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

They wanted to collaborate on their appeal

Bacon:

@Tech LET ME OUT

LET ME OUT

Raphael:

Look, I’m going to get my lawyer onto you guys if you don’t let me out!

It was an animation error, they made Donatello have a red mask not a purple one! I’m innocent!

Donatello:

I disagree

Raphael:

Of course you would, you have a bias against yourself!

Why would I go onto a video call with Gappy the trigger happy chemist and say that chemistry is overrated?!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You aren’t helping your case by calling me “Gappy the trigger happy chemist”

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Of course this is bias towards Donatellos, that’s the point of admin advantages

Raphael:

Corruption!

Bacon:

i wanna start a rebellion

i wanna riot

tired of this donnie monopoly ngl

one of them locked up a kid for a trillion years thats child abuse

>@Red, @AteTheBraincell, @f*ck and @Steroids have been locked to The Isolation Chamber <

Red:

WHERE AM I

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck

sh*t

Steroids:

What the f*ck

Red:

I think we were busted

Donatello:

Why would I ever lie?

I’m the sweet Donatello, remember?

HasTheBraincell:

@Red @AteTheBraincell @Steroids

You really think you could hide virtual wrestling from me?

Red:

Yes

AteTheBraincell:

Betrayer

HasTheBraincell:

You words don’t affect me

Steroids:

f*ck

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You have thirty seconds to all make your appeal

Red:

Um

I can fit a whole fist in my mouth

Wanna see?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

No

Donatello:

Yes!

Raphael:

Hey, I’m not finished!

I will keep breaking the fourth wall until you investigate, just watch!

Steroids:

Wait leo ur in here too???

[Voice Note: just loud, smug laughter from Raph]

Leerless-Feeder:

[“If I could start again, a million miles away…” Leo sings. In the background, Raph’s distant laughter can be heard followed by a shout of “What the f*ck did Splinter Junior do?”]

LostTheBraincell:

[As Lee finishes the song, Mikey spits out the toothpick and nods empathetically at the final line. Once Lee has finished, Mikey leans forward and looks at the camera.

“This is to all the lost souls out there who are getting their voices silenced.” He makes a peace sign to the best of his ability with his three fingers.]

[Live stream ends]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@Raphael

Any complaints that you might have can be submitted into the “Help, I Have a Petty Complaint” form attached to this chatroom, where it will be systematically mocked and then destroyed, thank you

Leerless-Feeder:

[Leo finishes the song but continues to look into the distance]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Angelo my sources tell me that, high on sugar and sleep deprivation after watching six barbie movies in a row with your alternates, you went into the ASMR channel and started singing the song from one of the movies as loud and off key as you could

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I disagree, that cover was high quality

And I love the attachment that Angelo was wearing on his amputated arm, anything purple is an automatic win for me

Raphael:

This is rigged

LostTheBraincell:

Hey, it made the other Mikeys laugh

That’s what counts

I’m just that funny

I_Crave_Chemicals:

My Leonardo was listening to running water during meditation and was interrupted by “a banshee”

LostTheBraincell:

Exactly

Funny

Bacon:

THEYRE TRYING TO SILENCE US

HOST ADVANTAGE

Red:

[Photo ID: a picture of Red with his whole fist in his mouth. His other hand holds the phone for a selfie.]

Donatello:

That’s good enough for me

>@Red has gained access to all chat rooms<

Steroids:

What did you do Leo

Tell me or youre a puss*

Leerless-Feeder:

For the last time that doesn’t work on me

HasTheBraincell:

@Steroids, what is your defence? Address The Council respectfully and promptly

Steroids:

[Voice note: Raph spitting into the microphone]

AteTheBraincell:

[Voice note: loud applause and cheers]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@Steroids the dumb dumb somehow managed to delete the Leonardo group chat which resulted in my own annoying twin to believe everyone had been hacked again

But no, apparently your brothers’ tech illiteracy became weaponised!

Leerless-Feeder:

I wanted to send a gif thats all

I didnt mean to?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

True

I was there when the world began to burn

Donatello:

How long have you been here?

LostTheBraincell:

Hey does that mean I’m free to go too?

I did a great job on the guitar if I say so myself

I_Crave_Chemicals:

As soon as we let you out you come back in hours later

What is the point

Bacon:

LET ME OOOOOUUUT

Steroids:

HA

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I think I have a day or so

Over a pun

Bootyyyshaker9000:

It was terrible

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Actually I thought it was very punny

LostTheBraincell:

Actually I thought it was very punny

JINX

Bootyyyclapper9000:

JINX

DAMMIT

Donatello:

I thought it was good!

>@Leerless-Feeder has gained access to all chat rooms<

HasTheBraincell:

@AteTheBraincell you don’t get a defence because you are holding Stumpy hostage you villain

Release him!

Raphael:

Did I miss something?

What the shell is a Stumpy?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I am extending both of your sentences until you stop making terrible puns

Or, in Angelo’s case due to his increased age, dad jokes

LostTheBraincell:

Oh buddy, you think that’s a dad joke

I’m about to snatch those eyebrows right off your mask kid

Challenge accepted

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Why is the literal Isolation Chamber so chatty?

Can you be quiet? No?

Bacon:

[Voice note: it’s just screaming. That’s it. Loud, ugly screaming]

HasTheBraincell:

Stumpy is my Polacanthus toy that, ironically, Raphie made me with his knitting materials when we were younger

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@Bacon I’m starting to agree with Tech’s agenda to keep you locked up

I will have to thank him whenever he replies again

AteTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Stumpy, a knitted, purple dinosaur toy. Raph’s hand is holding a knitting needle to its throat]

I brought him into this world and I can take him out of it too

>@AteTheBraincell has gained access to all chat rooms<

Donatello:

Maybe we shouldn’t encourage blackmail?

HasTheBraincell:

But

Stumpy

Bacon:

ur telling me blackmail was always an option???

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Photo ID: a screenshot of Purple’s phone screen, where it shows a personal chat between just him and Angelo. Though the hasn’t opened the contents of the messages fully, there are already 67 unread messages]

@LostTheBraincell

If I open these and they are all dad jokes I am going to send a pipe bomb to your universe

Raphael:

[Live stream recording]

[Raphael is facing the camera directly, arms folded neatly.

“Good afternoon. I am interrupting this conversation to appeal to the audience out there that agrees with me when I say that I was framed for a crime I didn’t commit.” Raphael grabs something off camera. He returns, placing down a rock with a singular googly eye.

“Meet my lawyer, Mr Pebble.” The turtle says, gesturing to the rock. “He says that together, with your support, we can file a complaint to the network to get Donatello removed and censored from the show. For too long I have suffered many animation errors and been mistaken for him, and I’m tired of it! I say, no more!” Raphael slams his fist on the table, then against his plastron. “So write to the network! Tell them that I am innocent! Get Donatello removed as a tag on Archive of Our Own completely! Anything to free me from the punishment of a crime I did not commit, a crime –“]

[Live stream cancelled unexpectedly]

Donatello:

That’s enough wall breaking for today

Sorry about him, folks.

>>Cult Of The Michelangelo <<

MC-MIKEY:

barbie was a rad idea

thanks older mike

~MagicMike~:

He was thrown into the isolation chamber

We lost a brother

MC-MIKEY:

nooooooooooo

he was so young

kinda

idk is like 20 somthing old for a turtle coz we live 4ever

turtles do

~MagicMike~:

Yeah 20 is super old

Old man Mike

Cheese:

@Tech?

~~Electro~~:

Still not online

Cheese:

its been way too long to be normal right???

LittleMike:

I told you I have this bad feeling about all of this

My mojo has never been wrong before :(

MC-MIKEY:

my donnie said he was working on some cool gadget thing which might help!!!1!

~MagicMike~:

I hate having to wait and see

I wanna crawl through the multiverse for a tiny second

Poke my head in

MC-MIKEY:

dont u have like

crazy portal powers????

~MagicMike~:

If I use them too much too fast I kinda just cremate myself?

Thats not a good way to explain it rip

Plus dad #2 put a ban on multiverse stuff because of the chance that someone could break it further and hop into one of your guys’ universe which would not be great

~~Electro~~:

It sucks but this is out of our control

I’m going to do what I think Elder Mike/Father Micheal/Old Mikey/Turtle Titan/Angelo/THE HUMBLE SERVANT OF MOTHER KLUNK would do and try to relax

Not take my mind off it and forget about it but it’s not like we can summon him on command because we really really want to

MC-MIKEY:

i tried

didnt work

instead I set my mask on fire lol

~MagicMike~:

Nooooooooo I loved your mask

Weeping

Sobbing

I would die for that mask

LittleMike:

You’re totally right dude

Still is hard when I got this feeling bros, I can’t ever explain it

~~Electro~~:

Oooh Donnie says it’s intuition

I get that sometimes but it’s usually too late here rip

MC-MIKEY:

[Photo ID: a picture of a few charred remains of an orange mask, blackened and unrecognisable]

i did too many candles coz i saw on those wiked ghost shows they have like

loads of candles and sh*t

so like

i added like a thousand more

didnt work

~~Electro~~:

I hope someone tries to summon me one day

That would be sick

~MagicMike~:

I think you have to be a demon or something?

Or a deity?

~~Electro~~:

Join me as I begin my ascent into godhood

>>Council Of The Dons<<

Donatello (Grape):

[Live stream recording]

[The camera shows Donatello working at his lab desk calmly, in the process of plugging a few more thick wires into an old computer that already has many cables connected to it. He is humming lightly as he works, occasionally muttering to himself. Next to him, Michelangelo is leaning against his shell, fingers knitting together nervously. An uncharacteristic frown etched into his usually upbeat expression. One eye is looking down at the desk whilst the other blind one is shifted slightly out of focus.

Donatello looks up and gives Michelangelo a reassuring smile, which he weakly reciprocates.]

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

I’m usually a pacifist but drastic actions always have an equal opposite reaction

If he doesn’t give Stumpy back in the next hour things are going to get ugly

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

He stole your prized dinosaur, this definitely qualifies for lethal action rather than “making things get ugly”

Segway, I have designed a sleek and efficient flamethrower that I will be willing to loan out in an exchange for some other technical goods

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

No thank you

I kind of want my brother to still be alive?

But I appreciate the offer

Though, if you could rework the mechanics to make it spit out something like extinguisher foam instead I am willing to lay down my price

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Hmmmmm

If you give me that robot’s head you ripped off we have a deal

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Please stop bringing that up

It was an accident

And I don’t have it anymore, surprisingly the robot in question is using said head currently

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

I don’t see a problem there

Rip it off again

The robot will get it back within six to eight working weeks

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

I will give you half a canister of retro mutagen

And I will throw in a bit of mercury, because why not

Donatello (Grape):

[Donatello looks down at his phone, raising a brow ridge as he reads the messages.

“I still have that mini evil clone machine I am willing to throw into the bidding pool, if you like? I’ve gone off the idea ever since Tinytello tried to take over the lair with an army of co*ckroaches.” He says. His attention moves back to the computer, his eyes reading the lines of code on the screen. Michelangelo flops further onto his shell, his chin resting on the genius’ shoulder. Donatello hums at the action, rubbing Michelangelo’s head soothingly.

“Me and Amethyst think we might have found something we could do, just hang tight, okay?” Donatello smiles. Michelangelo nods, a true smile quirking on the corners of his beak.

“You always fix things, dude. It’s so awesome.” He says. Donatello chuckles at the praise, humbly rubbing the back of his neck.

“Aww…you sure do know how to fuel a turtle’s ego, Michelangelo.” He turns back to the screen with a light trill of happiness that Michelangelo echoes.]

Egg (Violet):

I got ur 4am text @Bonk

any progress or do you want me to slam the keyboard with my genius powers

Bonk (Amethyst):

Which one?

The text about contacting Tech’s phone or my texts about William Grey Walter and his turtle robots

Because I’m happy to keep talking about the turtle robots

Let me talk about the turtle robots In our next info dump session

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

I am not ripping off anyone’s head thank you very much

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

I will do it

All in the name of science!

Donatello (Grape):

[“Turtle robots?” Michelangelo reads the text of the screen, tilting his head curiously. Donatello’s eyes light up.

“The very first biologically inspired robot. At least, in Amethyst’s universe. I think they would make a great mascot for our brand.” Donatello replies. He turns to the camera.

“And yes, we are close to at least contacting the phone. A sprinkle of cartoon logic suspends disbelief enough to do this, I hope.” Donatello presses the enter key with a flourish. The computer makes a loud beeping sound, flashing a few times, then settles. Donatello grins upon watching this happen.

“Ta da! You may applaud!”

“Really? You can talk to it now?” Michelangelo leans forward, staring at the screen. Donatello makes a “so-so” gesture with his hand.]

Bonk (Amethyst):

Me and Grape were both awake and I remembered reading about alarm systems in phones so I thought, why not try and create a feature across this server and then use that to make Tech’s phone sound an alarm?

Egg (Violet):

but I thought u guys had huge beef with tech ngl

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Oh, I like that hypothesis a lot

So you’ve made a connection?

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

That actually makes sense

I’ve added alarms to all the phones I’ve made after one too many times we’ve gotten separated and knocked unconscious

It’s a good way to locate someone

Donatello (Grape):

[“We have connected to his phone as in “we can get it to update the chat room so that it has the new changes we made” but nothing too fancy beyond that small override. But, that could be enough.” Donatello explains. Michelangelo is biting the edge of his beak, only stopping when Donatello gently taps his arm and hands him what looks like a wooden popsicle stick. Michelangelo takes the object and immediately places it in his mouth, biting down on it hard until it cracks.]

Bonk (Amethyst):

The update in question being something I whipped up last night

Basically whenever someone is @ directly, it will now have the option to make it so the phone sends out a loud blaring sound

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

We cannot tell any Mikey about this

I am immediately deinstalling it after it’s use because I really don’t want to even think of how annoying it will be if Mikey finds out there’s a way to make anyone’s phone scream

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

I completely agree

The horror

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Though does raise the question of whether we do more harm than good if we do activate it

If he really is in trouble then I can’t imagine that a loud scream from his phone is going to help matters

If I may be as bold to point this out

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Yes, you may

Very good point

But it could also help someone find him if he is in this hypothetical situation if his brothers find him

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

@Egg we are trying to contact him more because Mikey wants to

Shell, any Mikey that is concerned like this is enough to make me want to rewrite the laws of physics if it means it will help him

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Mikey cares so I do

Simple formula

Egg (Violet):

K i get that

idk its been kinda rough seeing my mikey so angst over this whole thing

for some reason his stupid heart decided to care about this dude that literally scared him to death when they first met

its not logical

but its so Mikey

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Orange is a living anomaly in my data collection in a way that doesn’t make me grind my teeth

It makes situations fun to try and predict

Bonk (Amethyst):

Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. No Mikey will ever know this is an option and then we can remove it once we are done and pretend it never existed

And yes, I think “It’s So Mikey” summaries this strange friendship up perfectly

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Orange somehow managed to turn an evil warring warrior scientist into a lunch lady and second father

Egg (Violet):

U made me spit out my gatorade WHAT

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Shrugs

That’s an average Tuesday for Orange

Donatello (Grape):

[“That is certainly…a character trait.” Donatello says. He then claps his hands together, business-like. “So – are we doing this or not?”

“I gotta know. I know it might put the dude in more danger but…” Michelangelo stares down, hugging himself as his brow furrows in deep thought. “I got this feeling, y’know? I gotta know.”

Donatello rubs a hand over his shell, smiling softly.]

Egg (Violet):

theres only a small chance we mess up and make things worse tbh

i say go all in

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Exactly

I agree

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Full approval here

Bonk (Amethyst):

I also give cautionary agreement

Bootyyyshaker9000 (Purple):

Then allow me, fellow geniuses

Commencing a ping now

@Tech

Egg (Violet):

so what now?

HasTheBraincell (Lavender):

Now we wait, and hope someone heard the alarm sound and picks up the phone, or Tech himself answers

I_Crave_Chemicals (Lilac):

Here’s to hoping that our bad turtle luck doesn’t strike, right?

Notes:

I do a bunch of art for this fic and others on my tumblr, so check it out if you want to chat or see some badly drawn comics lol (@dysfunctional-doodle)

Or just chill here :)

Cheese:

if u want i can send a pic tho

hello? U good?

please be ok

>> ‘TISM TURTLES TEAMUP <<

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Live stream recording]

[The camera is focused on a giant pumpkin that is growing in a specialised area in Purple’s lab. Purple can be heard info dumping about the progress of the vegetable’s growth and how he accomplished it. The live stream is titled “Pumpkin Babysitting”.

Underneath, the livestream has text stating: CURRENT LIVE STREAM TIME: 58 hrs, 8 minutes”. Underneath (in smaller lettering) a subtitle reads: “LONGEST TIME TO BEAT: 102 hrs, 6 minutes”]

Egg:

so dont tell anyone they now have the power to make any device scream lol

Cheese:

Yessir

thanks tho

HasTheBraincell:

Ah yes, my favourite time of the day!

Pumpkin Babysitting!

AteTheBraincell:

Don’t worry I aint telling Mikey sh*t

Bonk:

[Photo ID: a picture of what looks like every fidget toy combined into one. It’s about the size of a human head, but fits in Dee’s hand as he holds it to the camera]

Behold!

@Bootyyyshaker9000 I think I beat you, mayhaps

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[After Dee’s message, a loud alarm blares from all the devices Purple has with the chat open. This is at least two computers and the phone that streams the pumpkin growing, causing a piercing sound to radiate throughout the lair. At the sound you can hear panicked, confused and angry screams from the rest of his brothers.

“Ah. It seems having all my tech running this software may have been a mistake.” Purple steps into frame as the shouts grow more panicked from outside the lab doors. Blue’s voice can audibly be heard saying “my ears!” over and over.

Suddenly, the wall to the side literally is busted open by a large, mystic projection of Red’s fist. Purple squarks in surprise and displeasure as Red bursts through, confused and panicked.]

Bonk:

Oh no

Oops?

AteTheBraincell:

Please no one tell Mike about this ever

Don you gotta get rid of it before I hear it for the rest of my life

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Who put me in here again

<@I_Crave_Chemicals has left this chat>

Cheese:

at least its loud enough for tech to hear it!

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[“Raph! My sanctuary! My Fortress! My evil lab!” Purple gestures towards the hole in the wall. Red is staring at the wall, rubbing the back of his head apologetically.

“Raph panicked and started smashin’.” The snapper winces when Purple glares at him. “Maybe we can tape it up?”

A fragment of wall clatters for the ground. Purple’s eye twitches.

“Tape it up? Tape it up? What tape, dare I ask, can fix this?!” Purple throws his arms out wide to emphasise his point. Red glances at the wall again, then back at Purple.

“Duct tape?” ]

AteTheBraincell:

Don’t underestimate the power of duct tape

sh*t works on pretty much anything

I once taped up the battle shell with that

HasTheBraincell:

You what

AteTheBraincell:

It was only temporary

Keep your shell on

>> @Egg added @I_Crave_Chemicals to this chat <<

Egg:

Lmao u cant opt out of the tism my guy

I_Crave_Chemicals:

[Voice note: a loud explosion]

Egg:

what

AteTheBraincell:

Makes sense to me

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[“Guys! I can’t hear!” Orange barrels in the lab through the hole in the wall, tripping as he does so and landing flat on his face. He then, rather than getting back to his feet, rolls to where Purple is standing and clutches his waist.

“What did I do to deserve this? My poor ears!” Orange suddenly stops, becoming thoughtful. In a lower voice, he mumbles: “Wait, do we even have ears?”

Suddenly, a bright blue portal cuts through the air and Blue hops out of it, sword slung over his shoulder. His other (robotic) arm is placed on his hip as he looks around.

“Okay, did Donnie do some weird science thing that tried to deafen us again?” The slider says. Purple folds his arms, scowling at Blue who sticks out his tongue in response.

“Guys, do we have ears?! Did we ever have ears?!” Orange is asking. However, his attention is yet again pulled from the topic as his eyes wander over to the camera. He blinks, then begins to wave at the screen with a large grin just as Red, Purple and Blue break into light bickering.]

HasTheBraincell:

Hello Orange :)

MC-MIKEY:

wait

u can make phones scream now??????1???1

I_Crave_Chemicals:

No, don’t

HasTheBraincell:

Please don’t tell the others

Please

Egg:

hes totally gonna spill to the others

Bonk:

He has an alliance with the ADHD group he can’t tell them

AteTheBraincell:

DONT

Bonk:

Mikey no

Mikey

MIKEY

MC-MIKEY:

u cant stop me

all this POWER dog

Bonk:

At the very least, in the name of the B (Best) Team Terms And Conditions, you do not tell anyone you got this information from me

Please?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Orange, who is now the closest to the camera and watching his three brothers try and tape a hole back together with duct tape, looks down at his phone. Upon reading the screen, his eyes light up and he looks back at the camera.

“You’re telling me we can make a phone start being a fire alarm now? Sweet!” He says.]

Egg:

damn u got a whole contract for b (best) team

cheese we need a contract

Bonk:

Mikey what did you do

AteTheBraincell:

No

NO

HasTheBraincell:

Me and Angelo have a thirty page document

Six of those pages are dedicated to a comic we made detailing how much cooler we are than the A Team

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Wow, the B (Best) team is something that spans across multiverses?

AteTheBraincell:

The A team is better

Don is just mad he lost the last game of teamed ninja tag

Cheese:

Can we make a powerpoint?

We could have cool sound effects and stuff to say how cool we are

Bonk:

Wow, we really need to up our budget Mikey

You did a comic?

Egg:

we could 100% do a load of transitions and stuff

and animations

dude im already starting

AteTheBraincell:

I’m going to throw my phone into the pier with the small time I got left of peace

f*ck you

Cheese:

donnie i love u rn

imma crash in ur tent away from the a team and their beady eyes

HasTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of an aged page of a battered book. The book itself is torn and obviously taped together in some parts, decorated in old drawings of various objects clearly done by a younger child.

The page in focus displays the first few frames of a comic. Each panel varies in quality – the first couple are well drawn in an orange ink pen, whilst any panel drawn with a purple ink pen are nothing more than wobbly stick figures. The comic shows a purple and orange banded turtle giving each other a high five.]

My drawing skills weren’t, and still aren’t, the best but you get the point

Bonk:

I’m so sorry about my Mikey

He’s ran

He’s too fast

He distracted me with a pop tart and a screwdriver

My two weaknesses

Egg:

sorry but i gotta make a giga powerpoint about the b (best) team lol

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Damn

We almost hit a full week without a reset

AteTheBraincell:

It’s too late

sh*t

It’s too late

>> PRIVATE CHAT: @Cheese >> @Tech <<

Cheese:

youve been kinda offline for a while are you still ok??

if im being annoying or something feel free to tell me

i dont mind

i got a C on my math test tho! its the first one ive passed

[Photo ID: a picture of a test paper with a C marked in the corner]

WantsTheBraincell:

[Photo ID: a picture of Angelo’s zoomed in face, which has the most mischievous grin known to man curved across his beak as he stares down at his phone. The picture is taken through the crack of a doorway.]

What have one of you done to give him this look

Confess

@Bootyyyclapper9000 was it you again?

Confess

@AteTheBraincell @HasTheBraincell what happened here and how fast do I need to get out of here before hell strikes?

f*ck:

[Video recording]

The video is shaky, spinning so it flips to Raph’s face. The hothead is in his room, which has walls covered in posters, ninja stars and graffiti He has a wide, somewhat fearful expression.

“Can someone tell me why Mikey is laughing like a psycho?” Raph says in a hushed voice. On cue, the sound of crazed laughter can be heard distantly. The video ends as Raph curses colourfully.

[Video ends]

Bootyyyclapper9000:

WHY IS MY PHONE SCREAMING

STOP PINGING ME MY EARS

HasTheBraincell:

Sorry! We were going to tell you guys eventually but may have underestimated the usage of pings used on these chat rooms

We may have added a sound feature to whenever someone is mentioned specifically, just to try and get the attention of this mysterious Tech

CaptainLeo:

Why do I get the feeling you weren’t going to tell us at all?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Trust me

It was for your own protection

Raphael:

I’m so tired having to keep up with whatever stunts you guys pull when I want to sleep

Let this turtle get some shut eye without a Michelangelo turning into a glow stick or a phone exploding, maybe?

Steroids:

Who the f*ck

Donnie

Why the f*ck is my phone making noise

Should I be concerned?

Unfortunately not

Cheese:

but hes gonna pick up soon right?

is it loud enough?

Donatello:

@Leonardo @Raphael

May I request an emergency deployment of a turtle pile, rank 3?

Sorry, wrong chat!

Leonardo:

Rank 3?

Give me a minute and I shall join!

WantsTheBraincell:

[Video recording]

Leo is sitting in the kitchen, sipping on some tea as a very loud, repetitive alarm sounds next to him. Raph is sat next to him, banging his head on the table over and over as the noise continues.

Leo twists the camera slightly so it shows that they have dunked Raph’s phone, which is emitting the noise, into a giant bucket of water. Somehow the noise is still as clear as a bell, and growing in frequency and volume.

[Video ends]

@Cheese I think it’s loud enough

Bread:

@Egg @Cheese arent u guys supposed to be in classes rn???

Cheese:

I’m hiding in the toilet

i wanted the updates and then someone pinged my phone and it like made the class think there was a fire alarm

which was not good

CaptainLeo:

Please don’t “make liquid go boom”

Both of you

Please

Guys?

~~Electro~~:

BOOM BOOM

Bread:

as a hall monitor im gonna have to report you

dont skip classes!

I’m so sorry my annoying little brother tried to take over my phone

He knocked over my tea

f*ck:

CaptainLeo:

Is it safe to draw attention to Tech’s phone like that?

Just in case he’s trying to hide

HasTheBraincell:

It was a risk we had to end up taking

But there’s no response from him

Bread:

this is cyber bullying dude

thats not allowed

I_Crave_Chemicals:

However, if you are a hall monitor does that mean you are hypocritical for using your phone?

Aren’t you breaking the rules?

Bread:

only because they are!!!!

batman can do it so i thought i could???

is that wrong

what if they expel me

oh no

WantsTheBraincell:

They won’t expel you for enforcing the rules, don’t worry

~~Electro~~:

Hate to break it to you little dude but our entire existence is like batman

Cheese:

Pleeeeease dont report me

crying rn

Begging

ill play fortnite with u later and let u pick where we land

Egg:

noooo he always lands on the edge of the map like a coward then raph goes awol and then we all die because u blow yourself up with an explosive every time somehow

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Ew

Forgot you were fortnite kids

Ew

HasTheBraincell:

Though I want to reach out to him more, I am hesitant to do so

I am very worried the decision may have made his situation worse if he was taken by an enemy, and I don’t want to be the direct catalyst for his harm

Therefore, no one ping Tech until I, or any other Donatello, give the word perhaps?

Leerless-Feeder:

There’s not much we can do seeing as he’s across a multiverse if he is in trouble

Leonardo:

That sounds sensible

WantsTheBraincell:

I agree

Don’t feel anxious about it, it had to be done in order to see if we could communicate beyond the phone

Red:

I dont get why the mikeys wanna help him so bad but if orange thinks its important raph will do whatever

f*ck:

Referring to yourself in third person in a group chat full of others that share you name is confusing af

Leerless-Feeder:

I would try again in a couple of days

Bread:

@Egg shut up I am better than u

U land in the riskiest places

Egg:

stop making my phone ping in class dude

Bread:

Then get off the phone in class???

Egg:

You get off ur phone in class

i told u this is baby stuff

when do i tell them ive programmed my own minecraft game mode so they can stop trying to teach me basic programming lol

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Bonk:

Wow, Angelo is persistent

I think we underestimated how…impulsive Mikeys can be when creating this new feature

I think we might have to lock it behind a Donatello wall like polls and general admin control

~~Electro~~:

Cant believe you wont give me admin controls dude

I could make this chat look so cool you don’t get my creative ambitions

f*ck:

[Photo ID: a picture of a homemade cake, but it looks like a cross between cake, pizza and noodles. The icing, rather than being fondant, is pizza sauce with various toppings, wonkily put together. It has a single candle at the top. It also appears to be leaking an unknown red liquid]

After having to eat this “creative ambition” I agree with Donnie for once

~MagicMike~:

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT SON

WHAT IS THAT

WHAT IS THAT HELL

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You should agree with me all the time

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Agreed

Especially after trying to do something very dumb, like taping together a hole in the wall with duct tape, he said not at all snidely and not aimed towards any of his dumb dumb brothers

Red:

I really thought it would work the 26th time

CaptainLeo:

Honestly it didn’t taste too bad?

That was until the spice and mint mix in the middle hit me

I couldn’t feel my tongue for hours

Raphael:

Once again

I come back to this chat room only to see what can only be described as Krang’s long lost mother

~~Electro~~:

Youre all just jealous

WantsTheBraincell:

No

MC-MIKEY:

looks tasty!!1!

Leerless-Feeder:

If I ever see this in the lair I will get dad to lock you in the hashi for a week straight

Im serious

Bonk:

At least it was made with passion?

WantsTheBraincell:

Why did you take a picture of it?

I would never open my phone again if I knew that was in there

f*ck:

I look at it to give myself some motivation when I think I’m failing

If I managed to eat a slice of that I can do anything

Egg:

i do kinda wanna make it

not try it but study it

It feels like it should be on kitchen nightmares in the worst way possible lol

~MagicMike~:

If I ever get to meet you it is on sight @~~Electro~~

I am not letting you out my kitchen until you respect the damn food

It is

On

Sight

Bootyyyshaker9000:

That picture needs a trigger warning

I’m purging it

Then wiping it form every backup

~~Electro~~:

It tasted good!!!

Well

It tasted of a lot of things at once but that was the point! Taste bud party dudes!

Raphael:

LostTheBraincell:

Oh we should totally do a superhero team up when we finally meet up and don’t blow a hole in the universe Red

Leonardo:

Raphael could join, he had a superhero persona too

Raphael:

I don’t know what you are talking about

Red:

Yeah!!!! We could save the entire city like a boss!!

LostTheBraincell:

Only if you give me a piggyback

I really want a piggyback from you

In return I will show you how to do cool superhero poses against the moon

AteTheBraincell:

Mike

Shut up

Bonk:

What is a huggle?

Raphael:

Lame-o-nardo here thinks he’s smart by naming what is a “fusion between a hug and a cuddle”

I think he’s trying to get it copyrighted

~MagicMike~:

Can I have a huggle?

Egg:

Pretty sure mikey is awake too btw so tell him off

Red:

Do you think we could make a theme song that we play when we beat up some bad guys?

LostTheBraincell:

Red I love your thinking

We will start writing one right now

You know what?

No time

We can improv

Leonardo:

I can give you a huggle don’t worry!

Pretty sure some smart history guy said that the best art made is when it is not planned

Or maybe that was a jupiter jim movie

MC-MIKEY:

dude ur doing music without me??????????

im the sickest freestylin turtle evr to exist yo!!!1!!1

Bonk:

Mikey, you only know three other turtles in person, so I think it’s a little biased?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@Egg @Bread @Bacon

Please tell your Mikey to cease his actions immediately

He is trying to communicate with Tech by going against our word and this could be dangerous

Egg:

wait really???

LostTheBraincell:

Dude we can recruit as many turtles here as we want and make it sound sick

Wait

He what?

AteTheBraincell:

@HasTheBraincell one of the shrimps are going rogue

Leonardo:

Wait!

Tech is…online?

Egg:

what the heck

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Why must Michelangelos never do what they are told?

@Tech can you please respond and confirm you are “totally chill” as my Mikey wants to know?

HasTheBraincell:

I was having the best dinosaur dream, what’s up?

Oh

Tech is back?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@Cheese

@Tech

Speak

Now

Red:

If hes texting hes good right?

LittleMike:

@Tech?

f*ck:

@Egg can you get your Mikey to start talking??

Egg:

hes used my tent against me!

i let him go in there to work on our top tier, awesome B (best) team powerpoint whilst i went to grab a juice box in celebration of our art and hes zipped it up!

Leonardo:

Can’t you just break into the tent?

Egg:

i could never hurt my tent!

ive been outplayed!

MC-MIKEY:

yo im just happy tech is back!

f*ck:

Yeah I’m not

Sure it’s good to know he’s not dead in a ditch somewhere but in case you forgot he kinda hates everyone that isn’t wearing an orange bandana

LittleMike:

@Tech

AteTheBraincell:

If Tech is upsetting him I swear I’m sending one of Casey’s dirty socks through the mail

HasTheBraincell:

@Tech if it’s okay, can you confirm if you are ok or not?

How long have they been communicating?

Red:

Long enough for purple to start hissing at the phone screen :(

CaptainLeo:

Perhaps it is best to wait?

Egg:

im not waiting dude ngl

mikeys been so far out lately ever since this tech guy came in and helped with his homework and now he wont even answer me?

i wouldnt have minded doing his homework but for some reason he doesnt wanna ask me anything anymore

Tech:

What is this

This isn’t a trick? He was telling the truth?

HasTheBraincell:

Tech?

Cheese:

So um

Thats not tech

Kinda

Leonardo:

That makes no sense?

LostTheBraincell:

@Tech you good dude?

Tech:

I am not the Tech you are expecting

Am I really talking to alternates of myself and my brothers right now?

f*ck:

Ok back the f*ck up

Has someone else taken Techs phone???

Seriously?

Raphael:

Why is this guy’s phone being used in a game of pass the parcel?

Cheese:

see! i told you i wasnt lying!

check out the pinned stuff!

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Yes, we are versions of you

So, are you not the Donatello that was previously using this phone (that actually belongs to your Michelangelo)?

Raphael:

Do you all share one phone?

Tech:

He never told me about any of this

Did he even mention me?

CaptainLeo:

And you are…?

Tech:

Right

Sorry

I am Leonardo

Leonardo:

So am I!

WantsTheBraincell:

What’s happening?

LittleMike:

What happened to your Donatello then dude???

HasTheBraincell:

Your Donatello was quite…hostile when referring to you and your Raphael

I am afraid I do not know much as he only really interacted with the Michelangelo private chat room

Tech:

…Michelangelo chat room?

And he never told me?

LittleMike:

Is Tech okay??? Like the real Tech???

AteTheBraincell:

I think “quite” is an understatement

f*ck:

He literally banned a Raph here for about a trillion years

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You are remarkably calm about this

Tech:

A lot has happened lately

My mind is elsewhere

Hostile?

Raphael:

Hey, don’t blank my brother buddy

What happened to your Donatello

Actually scratch that, what happened to your Michelangelo?

LostTheBraincell:

Dude, is Tech okay?

Egg:

He really does not like u and ur raph ngl

Cheese:

U said u would tell me what happened to tech after u saw i wasnt lying

Can u please tell me?

Tech:

He didn’t tell me any of this

How long has this been going on?

I knew he was distant and angry but I thought he would tell us about something like…this

Bootyyyshaker9000:

So you are the Leonardo that Tech has a grudge against, correct?

I have a 52 page form that I would like you to fill in just for my own research that is due within the next half hour

Red:

Purple

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Fine

I will give you an hour maximum

~MagicMike~:

Guys, maybe don’t overwhelm him?

LittleMike:

Dude can you please say if Tech is all good? Why isn’t he answering? Is he hurt?

LostTheBraincell:

Orange is right, we should probably not all charge at the poor dude?

Gonna scare him away

Good job I am the best face man here

Bootyyyclapper9000:

*gasps*

How dare

LostTheBraincell:

Okay okay

Second best

HasTheBraincell:

I’m sorry your Donatello told you nothing but yes, he has been communicating with the Michelangelo group chatroom for the past few weeks now

Bonk:

Do you have a mobile device yourself? I can probably send an invite code to the current device to send to your own so you aren’t using Tech/Mikey’s phone if you like :)

AteTheBraincell:

Why are you avoiding every question about Tech

Egg:

pretty sus

Tech:

Yes, I have a mobile

That would be easier

I want to speak to the Michelangelos immediately

Raphael:

Whoa whoa whoa

You can’t come in here and spit out orders without even answering any of our questions pal

Red:

Thats right

Raph wants to ask a thing or two

Tech:

Quit it, alright?

It’s personal

Bonk:

I send the codes

HasTheBraincell:

Understandable, don’t worry

Steroids:

You aint talking to nobody until you tell us what the f*ck is going on

Im tired of trying to guess the sh*t storm that your universe is in

Cheese:

guys stop

Egg:

Ngl they have a point

Kinda tired of figuring out if this guy is safe or not

Cheese:

i trust him!

i trust this leo too!

So u should i promise

Bootyyyshaker9000:

I have also sent a copy for your Raph to fill is as soon as possible

Preferably at the speed of sound, or close to

Tech:

He really never told any of us anything

Even now

After everything

LostTheBraincell:

What are you talking about?

>>@Tech has invited two users to the chat<<

Night:

What is this sh*t

Leo what the f*ck is this

Who the f*ck is using mikes phone

Raphael:

Why are all other versions of me violent and/or edgy

And what’s with the name? It doesn’t fit our character traits at all!

f*ck:

So this is alt me?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Are you Raphael?

LittleMike:

What happened to Tech dudes???

Please?

Night:

Tech?

f*ck this sh*t

Egg:

He dipped

Rip

HasTheBraincell:

@Blue-Katana is this the Leonardo we were talking to before, I assume?

Steroids:

f*cking asshole

Leonardo:

You called yourself that?

Technically

MC-MIKEY:

is that like self hate or nah

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Damn alt me has a cringy name

Egg:

straight out of early 2000s lol

Raphael:

Great he’s gone quiet

Blue-Katana:

I am Leonardo, yes

It’s been a long time since I’ve used my phone due to personal travelling, so I am a little rusty

Donnie kept upgrading my tech regardless even if I wasn’t there to use it

Red:

Are you gonna tell us anything

LostTheBraincell:

Just to give a bit of very quickly context that probably will not help:

Tech is our friend

Well at least the friend of all Mikeys

And randomly he goes silent after an ambush. A few weeks ago and we haven’t heard from him since

So it would be very nice to know if he’s even alive? Just a yes or no?

Leonardo:

Travelling? Where?

~MagicMike~:

Tech did kinda mention you left

CaptainLeo:

Raph, please be less hostile

f*ck:

f*ck off

Bonk:

Good to know my invites worked!

There was a 60% chance your phone might have exploded so that’s very good it didn’t!

Blue-Katana:

My Donatello is alive

WantsTheBraincell:

And your Michelangelo?

HasTheBraincell:

@Blue-Katana you still there?

Night:

Just f*ck off

I don’t care if you are other versions of us this aint your business

Cheese:

Sorry :(

AteTheBraincell:

No

Don’t be sorry

Look, asshole or Night or whatever your sh*t name is

Your Donatello tells us that your Mike went and attacked your Leo in a rage and ran and you ain’t seen him since. Then he goes radio silent and Katana over there shows up today and still refuses to tell us sh*t

And then you tell a kid to f*ck off because his friend is silent and his alt version of himself has been missing for ages and you don’t seem to be doing sh*t to help that

Don’t tell him to f*ck off this is our business

This is still our family

Night:

Nothing? You think I’ve been doing nothing to try and find my little brother??

f*ck you

Every f*cking night I’m out there beating up every dragon I find which was a waste of time in the end which is great

Don’t tell me I didn’t do sh*t

AteTheBraincell:

Let me guess, alone?

Tech needed you

Where the f*ck were you? Both of you?

WantsTheBraincell:

Raph, that’s enough

It’s ok

@LostTheBraincell

LittleMike:

Please stop fighting

Please

CaptainLeo:

We shouldn’t be making enemies right now, but I can’t help but agree on some points based on what Tech has told us even if it was only a little bit of the story

Steroids:

But we don’t even know if Tech was telling the truth either

I hate this detective sh*t

Just tell us what is going on

LostTheBraincell:

@AteTheBraincell help the one armed turtle escape the confines of his bed so I can make us a pizza? Pls?

Raph

Raphie

AteTheBraincell:

I know you’re just trying to distract me

Knucklehead

Fine

Stop fake crying from across the hallway

~MagicMike~:

Can I ask…what happened to Mikey?

Your Mikey?

Night:

No

You just keep living your own bubbles and let us live in ours

Blue-Katana:

No

They have a right to know

I’m looking through Donnie’s room and they’re right

This phone is Mikeys. Donnie has kept it here and talked to them

Cheese:

he helped me with my hw

LittleMike:

Please

I gotta know

We gotta know

Night:

f*ck you

Raphael:

And…he’s gone again

HasTheBraincell:

@Blue-Katana?

Blue-Katana:

I don’t…I don’t think he’s Mikey anymore

CaptainLeo:

What do you mean?

Steroids:

What the f*ck does that mean

Tell us

I_Crave_Chemicals:

What happened

Red:

What???

Blue-Katana:

The night we got ambushed by the Foot we were caught off guard because we were not fighting just the enemy

Bonk:

Wait

f*ck:

What do you mean

Blue-Katana:

Mikey…he was there

But not on our side

And I don’t think he has been for a while

Notes:

Ok so I actually do not like this chapter and it’s pacing but I don’t know how else to do this reveal
Sorry if it’s kinda bleugh

Chapter Text

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles <<

Night:

@Blue-Katana hes waking up get here quick

Raphael:

Excuse me

You can’t leave us on a cliffhanger for a week and then just disappear

Hey

Come back!

~~Electro~~:

Wait who is doing a superhero team up without me

Oh

Oh

What did I miss???

Statement retracted

LostTheBraincell:

Who’s awake?

Bootyyyshaker9000:

@Blue-Katana @Night

Get back here!

My questions! My data collecting!

Red:

Purple

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Oh yes, also the well-being of Tech and his Mikey, I suppose

But you should see my lab notes I have for these alternates, they are exquisite

Cheese:

Whos awake????

tech????

u gotta tell me what happened to tech!!!1!

LostTheBraincell:

Well, they’re clearly offline now

Don’t worry kiddo, I’m sure everything is gonna work out for Tech

Cheese:

what if it doesnt???

what if i got him hurt because i didnt wanna wait???

WantsTheBraincell:

Kid, you didn’t do anything wrong

LittleMike:

This was the bad mojo I was feeling :(

CaptainLeo:

It’s probably best if we wait until they are back online again, then ask them again

Raphael:

I somehow don’t think my alternate self is gonna say anything

He seems not much of the social type

Steroids:

Hes a f*cking asshole

~~Electro~~:

But if someone is awake thats good right dudes?

Kinda shows that theyre recovering

Or maybe it was just their splinter?

Leerless-Feeder:

Theres not enough facts to predict this

I agree with Captain

Though it sucks

MC-MIKEY:

dude what happened to the ping alarm thing cant we just spam them???????

Raphael:

Why do you use so much punctuation all the time?

MC-MIKEY:

stylez dude !!!!!!!1!1!!1!! ;)

Bonk:

I turned it off after Mike tried to make an orchestra

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Moving on from Mike’s criminal overuse of punctuation and horrendous spelling that makes me want to pluck my eyes out with chopsticks, it’s most likely that one of their younger brothers is hurt or unconscious in some way

The last thing we know that they were ambushed, right? And then Katana goes and drops a cryptic message that very heavily indicates that their Mikey was on the enemy side which is not very fun to think about

MC-MIKEY:

Wotz wrong with my spelung huh???????!!!!??!!? >:( >:( !!

Raphael:

You’re doing it on purpose

Stop it

You’re not the funny guy here

MC-MIKEY:

dont know wat u meen bro >:( ??!!…’!?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

My guess? Their mikey is with their version of the foot which is some drama I guess

left field for a mikey tho

WantsTheBraincell:

@Egg @Cheese you should try and get some sleep if it’s late for you, we can talk tomorrow

CaptainLeo:

How can you make jokes about this? I feel like you aren’t taking this seriously Blue

~MagicMike~:

But I wouldnt turn against family! I dont think thats it

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Maybe it was a bribe

Like uranium

Bootyyyclapper9000:

would you sell me out for uranium????

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Yes. Absolutely.

Red:

@CaptainLeo blue does care he just shows it strange like that

Leonardo:

Exactly! Michelangelo would never be the bad guy!

Cheese:

how can u ask me to sleep?

staying awake

Egg:

nah he does have a point tho it stinks

we gotta go to classes and u gotta do that math catch up

LostTheBraincell:

As a turtle who has recently passed out because of lack of sleep and twisted his ankle as a result, I would vote bed time

Don’t be like me

Bed bound

Smashed in face

All it takes is two days of gaming and then a cartwheel and suddenly you’re on the floor with a brother shining a torch into your eyes

I thought I was going to the afterlife until Raph started laughing at me

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Pfffttttt no

Im just being logical here even tho I do know that Miguel here cant even do a good evil laugh

All signs point towards a villain arc

f*ck:

Yeah but it’s Mikey

He wouldn’t ever consider turning against us right?

Cheese:

then i wont go to school simple

Im not gonna get good marks anyways

LittleMike:

Am I gonna turn bad dudes??

HasTheBraincell:

Situations can force change

Logically, that’s what Katana indicated before he was pulled away

I_Crave_Chemicals:

I mean, we could just start launching projectiles through the mailing system and hope the acceleration and direction gets their attention again

Bonk:

Or the acceleration could increase exponentially and then hit them with enough force to…hurt them very badly

MC-MIKEY:

holy sh*t like final destenation?????

I_Crave_Chemicals:

*destination

Leonardo:

Please don’t send things through the mail at the speed of a bullet?

MC-MIKEY:

booooooooo

my speling is perfect

Red:

We could just bombard them with stuffed animals then? Theyre soft enough

f*ck:

Wait so we are starting a pillow fight with our alternate selves as they are having the worst day of their life probably?

I’m in

Bonk:

I think that counts as morally ambiguous?

f*ck:

f*ck morality

Bonk:

That’s…an interesting argument I suppose

Bootyyyshaker9000:

Well, there’s also a chance it loses all acceleration and then they just have loads of pillows

But, I very much agree to this plan! I have a pillow launching gun that made me win every pillow fight with my brothers!

[Photo ID: a huge gun that looks like a missile launcher, coated in purple titanium. It is in a glass cabinet, in which you can see Purple grinning evilly in the reflection of the glass pane as he holds up the phone to take a picture]

This bad boy can launch a pillow at 40 miles an hour easy

CaptainLeo:

No

No

Steroids:

Now youre talkin

LostTheBraincell:

Nah dudes it won’t work

I tried to play ping pong with Blue last week and it ended up being sad

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I agree

tragic

Egg:

U cant just not wanna go to school anymore after all the stuff we did bro

I can help u with classes easy!

Raphael:

Of course you won’t turn bad Michelangelo!

It’s a stupid theory

Cheese:

U got ur own stuff to do

And im not sulking over classes dude

Im staying up cos i wanna hear what happened to my friend/grunkle twice removed

~MagicMike~:

We all do but you do have to put your health first too

Dr Feelings always says a good nights rest help ease the mind!

Bonk:

I just…can’t see how Mikey would turn on us in any dimension

I usually pride myself on being open minded but this one is stumping me

WantsTheBraincell:

Okay, everyone calm down

There’s no use in speculating things that aren’t known yet

Feeder was right, too little details

Leerless-Feeder:

Dont ever refer to me as Feeder again

Never

MC-MIKEY:

feeder

~~Electro~~:

Feeder

Bootyyyclapper9000:

feeder

~MagicMike~:

Feeder

Egg:

Feeder lmao

Donatello:

Feeder

Raphael:

You’re telling me you stayed quiet throughout that entire debate, Donatello, but then piped up just to mock that cursed nickname?

Donatello:

Hey, my hands were tied with cutting up apple slices, unless you want me to eat your share, mr grumpy pants

CaptainLeo:

Mr what

HasTheBraincell:

Moving back to the subject at hand (again)

I think we should respect their privacy

Bootyyyshaker9000:

You are far too nice Lavender

Science demands results!

But I suppose I can wait a little while

WantsTheBraincell:

I get that we all are worried, I really do, but we have to remember that we probably all have experienced a situation like they are going through

No matter that happened tonight for them, they are confused and scared, and possibly hurt

My father always taught us to respect another’s privacy, so I will pass the same message

~MagicMike~:

Old man Leo speech

(Jk, that was a very good point)

MC-MIKEY:

yeah dudes we should chill for a bit yknow????

Egg:

Mikey

at least let me back into my tent?

we can still have that sleepover if you vibe with that

Cheese:

dads gonna kill us in the morning u know that? U could stay out of trouble if u sleep in my bunk

Donatello:

Katana at least keeps flickering on and offline

I think he might be close to his phone at least

Egg:

yea but a sleepover is cooler

let me in bro

we can watch some kitchen nightmares while we wait

f*ck:

Trust Leo for doing annoying speeches in every universe that always change my mind

f*ck you

Leonardo:

Wait, did you say apple slices Donatello?

Where are the apple slices?

LostTheBraincell:

Give me the apple slices

Bonk:

So now we wait?

CaptainLeo:

Yes

We wait and hope everything works out

f*ck:

With our turtle luck?

Probably not

>>f*ck Windows<<

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@Blue-Katana so dude you gonna keep peaking or are you gonna talk

Youre driving my donnie (purple) mad btw

WantsTheBraincell:

What happened to waiting?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Look you agreed to that not me

Leonardo:

It’s been almost two hours

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Exactly

And hes still ghosting which is lame

CaptainLeo:

Are you trying to goad him?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

no

why would you ever suggest that

Leonardo:

Is bread still asleep?

He’s going to have one heck of a wake up

Leerless-Feeder:

Youre an asshole blue you know that?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

You love it tho

Its what makes me the cool one

Leerless-Feeder:

Yeah dream on

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Come on support a fellow red eared slider

WantsTheBraincell:

How is Michelangelo, by the way?

Leerless-Feeder:

No

Leonardo:

He’s still very upset

He usually has these “bad feelings” for a while before they fade away

Sensei says it’s because he’s an empath and his spirit ends up feeling our own emotions

Great intuition though!

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Yes, Feeder

Leerless-Feeder:

I’m going to send a strawberry through the mail to you

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@WantsTheBraincell hes trying to assassinate me with allergies help

WantsTheBraincell:

I think we have more important concerns right now

CaptainLeo:

Blue is right in some way though

Katana is ghosting us

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I know we have more serious things on the table rn but theres not much we can do until they are in front of us

Right now I’m easing a bit of tension

Leonardo:

You’re nervous, aren’t you?

Not even nervous, more like worried?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

I told you I basically have it figured out already

Their Mikey is bad now, probably the source of that ambush we were told about

That doesn’t bother me at all no sir

I know orange isnt like that

WantsTheBraincell:

I know that too but I’m still nervous just hearing about it

The universe is such a close echo to our own I think it’s natural we feel worried if this really is the case, even if we know that our Mikeys have not been driven to such a point

Leonardo:

I don’t think so

Michelangelo would never

Leerless-Feeder:

Mike has his head in the clouds all the time I know he would never

But yeah Im still worried

I dont want to get involved in it and endanger my family but Mike cares so much about this random group and I want him to be happy

Bootyyyclapper9000:

@Blue-Katana stop ghosting dude

I can see you

Stop

Dude

This is a Leo chat only so you are amongst yourself

Stop ghosting us

Stop

I can see you peaking bitch

CaptainLeo:

Please @Blue-Katana you must understand we need to know what happened here

Leonardo:

Katana?

Blue-Katana:

I don’t know any of you

You do realise that?

WantsTheBraincell:

Funny, that’s what Tech said

Blue-Katana:

What else did he say? About me? About Mikey? Raph?

How long has he been here?

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Nuh uh uh

Not doing that again

You gotta answer some of our questions this time first

Leonardo:

Blue!

Leerless-Feeder:

No, I agree

No more of this avoiding sh*t

CaptainLeo:

There are more civil ways of saying that

Blue-Katana:

It’s not really your business

But I understand at least a little

Bootyyyclapper9000:

Greaaat! Starting a voice call in here so you cant run this time xoxo

Blue-Katana:

Actually? That would be the best solution

So I can actually see you’re not some trick

Leonardo:

Give me a couple of minutes and I can start the call!

I hope you don’t mind my brothers being nearby, though they won’t be able to hear or see much don’t worry!

CaptainLeo:

[Video recording]

A screen recording of Leo’s phone begins to play, showing the main chat room. Leo scrolls down, and you can see a live stream appear in the corner of the screen. In the live stream, Mikey (2012) has made a drum set out of bowls and pans, and is playing them with chopsticks and spoons. The chat underneath is spammed with various hearts and cheering as Mikey goes into an intense solo.

[Video ends]

They’re still waiting in the main chat but decided to start a talent show as they are waiting for you to return

So you might hear some pots getting used as a loud and annoying drum set but otherwise I’m in a private place

>> VIDEO CALL: f*ck Windows <<

[Connection Established]

[Loading Participants]

The first screen that loads is Blue’s (Rise) screen. He is fighting off Purple, who is trying to get closer to the screen.

“He hasn’t answered my questions! Not even whether their Splinter was a rat or a human before coming into contact with the mutagen! I have to know some facts to start building up my file on them!” The softshell lunges forward. Blue throws himself on top, clinging onto his back.

“Not a good time, Donnie! This is for Leonardos only, not nerds with too many questions!” Blue grunts as they both fall to the ground with a loud thump. Purple springs up, pressing close to the screen as more turtles enter the call.

“Tell me your secrets! Your origin! What genetic make up you have! Your blood types! How many fingers and toes you ha –“ Puprle is cut off as a bright portal opens under him and he falls through with a hiss. Blue pulls himself to his feet just as it closes.

“I portalled him to Aprils, who is working on a science project. So we have a few hours, or maybe a week depending on how badly the project goes, until he comes back.” Blue grins, slouching in his chair. He is in his room, lit with dim amber lights.

Leonardo’s (1987) beak wrinkles from his own screen.

“Is he always so…” he begins to ask.

“Feral. When it comes to science, totally.” Bud finishes with a chuckle.

“Katana?” Nardo (2003) asks from his screen in the corner. Lee (bayverse) and Leo (2012) enter the call, but there is no sign of Katana (2007).

“Did he ditch us?” Lee asks. He is sitting on what looks like his bed, which has various posters and paintings of Japanese cherry blossom trees and ancient Japanese landscapes. A hot mug of tea is in his hands.

“Give him time.” Nardo murmurs. He is also in his room, his mask tails draped over his shoulder so you can see the orange, red and purple fabric woven into it.

Finally, another screen loads. It reveals Katana, who is sitting up straight in his chair. His posture is very polite, his face carefully inexpressive and eyes almost cold as he stares at them through the screen. There is not an imperfection on his, despite the apparent scuffle the night before. That is, apart from the speckle of blood in the corner of his plastron, close to unseeable.

“Finally. Very dramatic entrance, ten out of ten.” Blue breaks the stony silence first, giving an easy smile.

“Blue! Don’t be disrespectful!” Leonardo, turns to Blue’s direction with a frown. Blue tosses his mask tails back.

“Come on, someone had to say something – it was getting pretty awkward.” He says. Lee takes a long sip from his mug, nodding.

“He has a point.”

Leonardo huffs.

“Thank you for agreeing to talk to us.” Nardo dips his head respectfully. Katana is silent for a moment longer before stiffly reciprocating the bow partly. As he shifts, you can see his arm is wrapped in a thick support bandage, an injury almost healed.

“I guess you want answers.” He says heavily. Contrasting against his collected appearance, his voice is cracked and worn.

“What happened to Tech, or Donnie, or whatever.” Lee gets straight to the point. He sets down his mug and folds his arms. In a quick shift of limbs, he now looks suddenly intimidating. “And no bullsh*t.”

“Tech is…stable. He got hurt on the patrol.” Katana looks away from the screen, swallowing. As he speaks, his demeanour begins to crumble little by little.

The remaining Leonardos remain quiet. When a few minutes pass, Nardo speaks once more.

“When I was a teenager, my father sent me to Japan to learn how to become a better ninja – for myself more than anyone else. I was taught how to defeat the demons in my mind, accepting my own self so I could move forward and become a more skilled fighter.” As he speaks, Katana looks up again with an unreadable expression.

“I guess Tech mentioned that I…left too. To become a better leader for my team.” Katana says.

“You did leadership training on your own? How does that work?” Blue points out. Katana furrows his brow.

“I trained myself, became better. I didn’t come back until I was sure I was the best ninja I could be.”

Lee frowns.

“How long?” He asks.

“…Two years.” Katana admits. Leonardo’s eyes widen and Lee spits a curse. Blue looks taken aback for a moment, his features flickering to something more expressive of his true emotions before he calms again.

Two years?” Leo says in marginal disbelief. Katana frowns, folding his arms.

“It was necessary. I retuned far more ready to lead my team. And I was ready to get everything back to normal. For a while we did.” Katana explains.

“Two years? That’s too long.” Leonardo ducks his head into his shell slightly. “I couldn’t do that.”

Katana watches him for a moment, a flash of regret reflecting in his gaze before he looks down at the floor.

“Change is inevitable. We change and grow every day. Two years is a long time to ask for change to halt.” Nardo says quietly. Katana tenses at his words.

“They weren’t the same as you were expecting, were they?” Blue catches on first. His easy smile fades away as he watches Katana as he speaks.

“They wanted it to go back to normal. Raph did. Mikey said he did. I tried to go back to how it was before, and teach them the new moves I learnt. But you’re right. They changed without me.” Katana reveals. He looks back up at the camera again. “But I tried my best to get them back into form.”

“But why?” Leonardo asks, tilting his head. Katana halts in his tale, blinking.

“Sorry?”

“Why did you want them to go back?” Leonardo clarifies. He removes his head fully from his shell, looking more curious than hostile as he continues his question. “Doesn’t improvement come from change? That’s what’s important, right? A team that grow with you?”

Katana pauses for a moment, frown deepening.

“Change made them unpredictable. Donnie was disobedient and changed his style to more offensive than defensive despite not going topside for almost two years. Raph had changed, but that’s because he was…hurt by my actions. He didn’t understand why I had left for so long.” Katana lets out a long sigh. “And I didn’t help matters, acting like I was better than him because I left. I never saw a problem with it until I saw how hurt he was that I had supposedly abandoned him. A ghost of a smile curves across his beak for a few moments as he recalls the memory. “But we now get along better than ever. We understand each other.”

“And Mikey?” Leo gently prompts. Katana hunches over a little, his expression twisting to poorly concealed betrayal.

“Mikey…he kept asking me to spar. I obliged. He hadn’t changed – at least I didn’t think so at first. His style was still as wild as ever. I still beat him every time. It was like he had been put on pause whilst I was gone. It…frustrated me, quite a lot.” Katana runs a hand down his face. “I wanted to train him to be a better ninja and critiqued his every move. He didn’t understand how much danger he could put us in, after everything I trained for. To keep us safe. I told him this.”

“You told him he was weaker?” Blue asks accusingly. He growls lowly when Katana’s silence is telling. “Well that’s a load of bullsh*t, you seriously –“

“The fear of losing your team can drive you to do…cruel things to try and stop that future.” Nardo admits. Katana meets his concerned gaze as he continues to speak. “I was harsh to my family, pushing them past their limit because I was so afraid that I would lose them if I didn’t train them enough. We can have the right motives, but our execution of them can be…wrong.” Nardo fiddles with his mask tails as he says this, expression twisted into a distant guilt.

“Yeah.” Katana swallows. “Yeah.”

“He was lying, wasn’t he?” Leo suddenly asks. His gaze his fixed past the camera, deep in thought. “He pretended that he hadn’t changed. That he couldn’t fight as well as you all.” A bittersweet smile graces his beak as he looks back at Katana, as if speaking from experience.

“One day…about a two months ago…he snapped.” Katana nods. “I was telling him that he was – he was useless – and he challenges me to a spar. I accepted…and he beat me so quickly with moves I had never even seen before. He was…furious. It’s like my brother had gone. He had changed, but hid it away. He was wild. Unpredictable. And kept beating me even when I was down.” Katana raises his injured arm as an example. “I don’t know why he was so furious with me.”

The rest of the call is silent now, listening as Katana continues his story.

“I got knocked out, and when I woke up Raph told me Mikey had flew the coop. I was sure it was a phase of behaviour. It still could be. I don’t know.” Katana slumps further, breaking slowly. “And Donnie…Donnie had been reluctant to listen to me for weeks, but when I said my opinion on the matter he got so mad for no real reason. He still is.”

“I don’t think that he’s mad for no reason. Maybe…you just can’t see why yet.” Leo says. In the background, you can see Raph walk past the doorway, Mikey slung over his shoulder. Mikey has a pan in his hand and is hitting it with a spoon tearfully. Quietly, you can hear him say “they didn’t appreciate my vision, bro…”

Meanwhile, on Lee’s screen, the elder is looking tired and tense as he listens to Katana, biting down on the claw on his thumb as he stares at the screen. Blue is the opposite, on the surface, but you can see the slight tensing of his shoulders, the harsher gaze he looks at Katana with.

Nardo is about to speak, but stops when Katana suddenly responds defensively.

“I didn’t do anything wrong. I am trying to improve my team and get them back into fighting form! Raphael understands, but Donnie doesn’t want anything to do with me because - I don’t know – maybe he liked being leader – even though I’m trying to explain why I left, and Mikey –“ Katana quietens, looking away from the camera once more. He picks something up on his desk. It looks like a small origami crane, folded with blue paper. He looks thoughtful, distant, and almost sad as he stares at it.

“Mikey ran away from me entirely. And he didn’t come back.” The grip on the crane hardens until it crumples in his hand. He scowls, bitterly muttering: “He betrayed us.”

Blue scoffs loudly, rolling his eyes. He still clings onto the laid back attitude he displays, but once unbiased eyes are now accusatory as they stare at Katana in disbelief through the camera. The rest of his posture, however, give nothing away to show these feelings, contrasting with the glare.

Lee is much more open, fist clenching. He looks ready to rise from his sitting position to defend the name of his brother, but unexpectedly Mike (bayverse) steps into frame. His movements are excited, hurried, and he doesn’t even pay attention to the camera as he hands Lee a microphone.

“Dude! We’re up next! Be there in ten, bro!” Mike grins. Lee blinks, momentarily distracted.

“Be where?” He asks. Mike jumps in excitement.

“The talent show on the main chat, bro! It’s gonna be sick! I told them we were gonna show them a few songs from our hip hop crush album even though it’s September, but I saw Walmart already putting out some tinsel yesterday so I was like ‘we can totally do this, it will be sick, they will love us and we will win’ but Raph is saying he won’t wear a Christmas hat which ruins the vibes, yo –“

“Am i going to have to wear a Christmas hat?” Lee asks. Mike halts in his talk, then nods seriously.

“Dude. The vibes.”

He then, as if stuck by lightning, dashes away, yelling: “Ten minutes bro!”

Lee watches him go, but his softened gaze grows serious once more as the conversation continues around him – though he is notably less tense.

“You don’t know that.” Leonardo is shaking his head. Katana only grows more defensive at his words.

“I know him. I know all my brothers.” Katana says lowly. Nardo takes this time to speak, his face less hostile than his alternates but serious as he voices his opinion.

“Do you?” The words make Kanata’s angered movement falter. The call goes silent as Nardo repeats himself, voice low enough to be a whisper. “Do you?”

Katana freezes, slowly looking back down at the crane in his hand. For a moment, his face creases into regret and guilt as Nardo’s words sink in. However, the next moment he is throwing the crane to the ground furiously and ending the call. His screen goes black.

There is silence.

“Maybe that could have gone better.” Leonardo tentatively says. Blue snorts in laughter.

“We didn’t even get to hear what happened to angsty Donnie. Purple is going to bite me for sure once he hears about this.” Blue shudders.

Nardo sighs.

“This isn’t good, is it?” Leo says. Lee pushes the rest of his tea to the side of the screen.

“No sh*t.” He says. “No f*cking sh*t.”

Chapter Text

>> Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles TALENT SHOW f*ck YEAH <<

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Live stream recording]

[Purple is sat in a large gamer chair, looking skeptically at the camera. His brow quirks into a more unimpressed expression.

“Yawn. This is quite below my standards.” He says.]

f*ck:

Your f*cking wrong

Take that back

f*ck you

Who let you be the judge anyway

~MagicMike~:

This talent show is a democracy, and everyone voted purple to be the judge

You were outvoted

~~Electro~~:

[Live stream recording]

[Mikey’s camera is zoomed into two action figures on the screen. One is a scratched Crognar figure, whilst the other is a figure of Captain Ryan. He is making them fight, providing bad sound effects such as explosions and grunts.

“You can never beat the might of Crognar!” Mikey slams the Crognar figure into Captain Ryan, who dramatically gets thrown at the camera. It accidentally causes the camera to fall.

“Oh sh*t, I was so awesome I broke reality!” Mikey improvises, making the Crognar figure peak over to the now fallen screen. “Oh sh*t, why are there a bunch of turtles watching me?!” ]

f*ck:

You’re not complaining because you get unfair advantage because hes your brother

~MagicMike~:

And I don’t see you putting up a fight even though your mikey has already had his turn!

Bonk:

(He has a point)

f*ck:

Technically this is leos turn but he didnt show up

Donatello:

I like the soap opera that Mikey is showing!

If I was still judge I would vote yes

HasTheBraincell:

You know you lost the privilege when you stopped paying attention to the acts

Donatello:

Sorry, but I was on commercial break!

Red:

Am I next?

Raphael:

Is anyone else suspicious of the fact all the Leo’s have gone to have a mothers meeting?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

For the last time, Red, your turn isn’t until 6 others have gone

And yes, I am very much aware that the Leonardos are having a “mothers meeting”. No, I was not allowed to snoop in

f*ck:

We weren’t allowed to snoop in

Fearless locked up out

Bonk:

Same :(

My Leo put up The Sign on his door :(

MC-MIKEY:

trademarked

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Purple rolls his eyes.

“I was chosen to be the judge because of my emotionless bad boy image, which is a great gimmick for a talent show judge on a mainstream television show.” He says like it is obvious. He watches Mikey’s act for a moment longer before pulling out a giant red button, comically over scaled. He presses it, and a loud noise emits as he does so.

“This soap opera is too predictable. Disapproved.”]

f*ck:

What is the sign

What does that mean

Bonk:

[Photo ID: a picture of Leo’s door in the lair. There is a cardboard sign that looks old and tattered, hung on the handle that reads “Little Brothers, STAY OUT!!!”]

He made it when we were 10 and Mikey tried to start a revolution to take over his room

We have tried to assassinate it multiple times but to no avail!

MC-MIKEY:

whaaaaaat??? U dont like the drama going on in the show bro????? ur wrong

LostTheBraincell:

All this Michelangelo hate dude

~~Electro~~:

[Mikey spins the camera so it shows his face. He is wearing one of Leo’s masks rather than his own to try and pretend that he is the eldest and therefore take his slot in the talent show.

“Wait! You didn’t even get to the reincarnation subplot, dude! Wait –“

Mikey is cut off when his stream is abruptly forced to close]

[live stream ends]

Raphael:

Darn, that subplot sounded interesting

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Don’t encourage him

LostTheBraincell:

Can I be a judge?

Red:

I dont want to wait that long! Im gonna smash the competition here like a boss!!!

f*ck:

Are you camping outside his door @Bonk?

Bonk:

Um

No

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[I don’t know why you would ever think there was a bias against my judgements. How scandalous.” Purple drones. “Anyway, the next act, if you will. I dare you to impress me.” ]

Raphael:

You’re enjoying this too much

Donatello:

He has been doing this for about two hours now

f*ck:

Not our fault the edgy assholes aren’t telling us sh*t

I can see katana lingering like a coward

LostTheBraincell:

MY TURN MY TURN

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

DRUMROLL

DRUMROLL

HasTheBraincell:

Angelo, please don’t tell me I just saw flames coming out of your room

Please

Steroids:

[Photo ID: a picture of a short hallway in the lair. Outside Leo’s door, which is positioned in the centre of the wall, Donnie is sitting, legs crossed, staring up at it.]

little sh*t

Bonk:

I am curious!

~~Electro~~:

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

MY DRAMA

MY CAREER

LostTheBraincell:

Only a little fire

A smidgen

I_Crave_Chemicals:

Why did we even let him into the talent show

f*ck:

f*ck yeah

Fire

HasTheBraincell:

That’s not a healthy reaction to potential arson

f*ck:

You’re not a healthy reaction to to potential arson

I_Crave_Chemicals:

That doesn’t even make sense

AteTheBraincell:

What the f*ck is going on here

LostTheBraincell:

Raph!

Do you want to be my assistant stunt turtle?

I wanna win this talent show

Donatello:

It’s a talent show whilst we wait for any activity from the “edgy” ones

HasTheBraincell:

Stunt turtle?

LittleMike:

Can I be a judge dudes????

Pleeeaaaaseee?

AteTheBraincell:

f*ck yeah

Gimme a minute

It better be the most daredevil sh*t

Steroids:

Finally a good f*cking act

~~Electro~~:

[Photo ID: a picture of the Gordon Ramsey meme, but instead of it saying “Finally, some good f*cking food” in the subtitle beneath the image, it has been edited so the word “food” has been replaced with “fire”.]

HasTheBraincell:

Stop!

No fire!

It says specifically in rule 25C!

LostTheBraincell:

Too bad I can’t read

AteTheBraincell:

Only cowards read rules

Steroids:

f*ck yeah

f*ck:

f*ck yeah

Raphael:

I really don’t think the network would like us if we show an alternate version of ourselves set his room on fire

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Purple reads the messages and folds his arms.

“Alright…you do have me intrigued. But the Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetle Talent Show Committee is not responsible for any accidents that may occur.”]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

@LittleMike fight it out with Purple

Good luck

HasTheBraincell:

You’re enablers

All of you

Leo’s going to kill me

>>PRIVATE CHAT: @Tech >>> @Cheese<<

Cheese:

You can at leasst tell me that if you’re going to be snark y

Cheese:

Do not try and start a verbal fight with me dude i have played way too much online games to be destroyed by a passive aggressive comment lol

[Photo ID: a selfie of Donnie and Mikey, who are both in Donnie’s tent. Mikey is half tucked into his shell, his head almost completely submerged, but you can see his eyes closed. Donnie is sat cross-legged next to him, giving the camera an unamused glare.]

cuz im better than u i gave you a pic anyway

ur welcome

Tech:

You’re so young

Cheese:

Well not babies

but duh we are like 14

[Photo ID: a picture of all four of the turtles, shortly before their movie takes place. They are all gathered on a rooftop, the moonlight behind them illuminating their wide grins as they all pose for the camera. Mikey is holding the phone itself, his other arm hooked around Raph’s neck. Raph is grinning so hard he has his eyes closed. Next to him, Leo is photographed mid laughter, each arm holding Raph and Donnie’s shoulders respectively. Donnie is smiling as he strikes the sailor moon peace pose with one hand, his other arm hung around Leo’s shell.]

mikeys got like 20000 pics of us on his phone lol

wait I just realised this is probably like a major breach of privacy

oh well he was the doofus that sleeps with his phone unlocked without any passcode

Tech:

All of you are so young

Cheese:

Tech:

Don’t take this for granted

Tech:

Oh god

I didn’t even know he had some of these

[Photo ID: a picture of all four turtles posing at the camera. Leo is in the middle of the tight crowd, grinning as all his other brothers are smiling next to him and have their arms slung around him. Mikey is taking the picture as a selfie, though his head is turned towards his family rather than the camera, a carefree smile across his beak as his eyes shine with open fondness.]

thats us before Leo left

Cheese:

Wait ur Leo left

I forgot

its wild cuz my Leo would 100% not leave for more than an hour not like 2 years

Tech:

Dont let him leave

Not ever

And hold onto your mikey and never let him go

He becomes the last good thing you have

And you ruinn it

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles TALENT SHOW f*ck YEAH WAIT NOW THERES A FIRE HOLT SHI –<<

LostTheBraincell:

[Live stream recording]

[Mikey is backed into a corner as a small flame is growing in the centre of his room. Raph, who is next to the camera with his mask off, mutters:

“Well, sh*t. That could ‘ave gone better.”

With a loud clatter, a bucket on his desk tips and falls into the flames, which was full of the mini plastic babies that Mikey had sworn to have gotten rid of. Immediately the plastic fumes fuel the smoke, making both brothers cough.

“Still looks sick though! We totally won the competition!” Mikey says. “I mean, how cool is this?!”

“Good point. We should make it bigger.” Raph says. At that moment, Donny runs in with a fire extinguisher and snuffs out the fire with the foam.

“Why didn’t you put it out?!” He asks, gesturing towards the scorch mark on the carpet. Mikey whines, folding his arms.

“I ain’t telling Leo, by the way.” Raph says helpfully.]

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Purple is texting on his phone, apparently bored.

“Not enough fire. Five out of ten.” He says.]

Donatello:

Why do you guys love fire so much?

Should I be concerned?

I_Crave_Chemicals:

You call that a fire?

Sprinkle some potassium into it if you want it to at least look interesting

MC-MIKEY:

@Steroyds

@Sterods

@Sterroids

f*ck

Raphael:

For a ping to work I’ve heard you need to spell the username right buddy

f*ck:

FIRE

YEAH

Bootyyyshaker9000:

[Purple reads the messages and then, with a grin, pulls out his tech bō from the side of his seat. For a moment he moves off screen, ruffling around in his lab, and then he comes back with a large potassium strip.

“Observe.” Purple announces. In one confident movement, he presses a switch on the bō so that the top shifts into a functional flamethrower. As the fire roars to life, he thrusts the potassium into the path of the flame. Instantly, the fire turns a soft lilac. However, at the same time, the flamethrower’s fire ignited so strongly that it covers the screen with a loud bang.]

[Live stream ends]

f*ck:

Well

There goes the judge

LittleMike:

Bro got totally wiped out!

Can I be judge now? If he’s ok of course <3

Bonk:

Purple flames my beloved

MC-MIKEY:

@Stertoids

@steroids

@Steroids

YES

DUDE U GOTTA GET READY FOR OUR ACT BRO!11!!!!!!1! THINK OF OUR FUTURE AS HIP HOP IDOLS

Steroids:

For the last time I aint wearing a christmas hat

f*ck off

I_Crave_Chemicals:

At least the flame was purple

I wouldn’t mind dying to a purple flame if it fit the color scheme

Raphael:

What is wrong with you guys

Donatello:

They aren’t wrong

Raphael:

You’ve been exposed to the other Donatellos for too long, they’re infecting you!

MC-MIKEY:

whats that cant hear u over the sound of me getting a xmas hat bro

f*ck:

Why are you doing a Christmas hip hop album in fall?

LostTheBraincell:

[All three siblings are now squabbling, pointing at the fire then at each other.]

Donatello:

Sure, I can make you judge!

f*ck:

What happened to democracy or sh*t

I wanna be judge

Red:

Not again

Red will be right back

Bonk:

I feel like every week there’s another fire on this server

52% of those are just from Angelo alone

24% directly because of Purple

10% because of failed attempts of cooking lessons for the Leonardos

8% because of general questionable decisions

4% because a Raphael tries to blow up a tv or similar from the junkyard

2% because of my Leonardo blowing up any technology he touches

Raphael:

How on Earth did one turtle get more than half of the proportion

Can’t we just lock him in the isolation chamber forever?

LostTheBraincell:

[“Im disqualifying the act!” Donny says. Mikey hangs on his arm, fake crying loudly.

“My work! My art! You can’t do this!” He whines.

“It still looked cool, Don, and Leo won’t find out! Don’t be such a buzzkill!” Raph defends. Donny doesn’t listen, looking at the other flatly.

“You set a room on fire within ten minutes of your act beginning. Eight of those were just Mikey showing Klunk to the audience.” He points out.

“She deserves the spotlight!” Mikey chimes in.]

Bonk:

I’m not sure if this is a good time to point out Tech is online again

So hooray?

>>PRIVATE CHAT: @Tech >>> @Cheese<<

Cheese:

what the heck even happened to u

ur on the highest stuff and u were gone for days

And maybe give the rest of us a chance

I think its kinda dumb u hold grudges with raphs and leos that have no idea who u are just sayin

Tech:

My Mikey did the same

Thats a start

Tech:

He only comes to me because he doesn’t want to worry you all, you know? ?

f*ck

Hes stupid

He loves you

I didn’t even

f*ck

He loves you

>>Teenage Mutant Neetle Teetles TALENT SHOW WITH NO MORE FIRES <<

~MagicMike~:

[Live stream recording]

[Mikey is dancing a graceful ballet in the middle of the dojo. It looks very professional and his eyes are closed as he is lost in the dance. This, however, contrasts starkly against the music that he dances to – the Mii Channel music for the Nintendo Wii. Not only this, but it is a kazoo cover of the song.

Mikey dances as if it’s the most tranquil song ever heard.]

LostTheBraincell:

IM TELLING LEO YOU WERE THE ONE THAT KILLED HIS WATER LILY

Steroids:

Mike f*ck off im not wearing the hat

MC-MIKEY:

[Voice note: Mikey saying “please” over and over again.]

Steroids:

Shut it before I stuff your head in the toilet sh*thead

HasTheBraincell:

If you do that I will tell him that you are the one who broke down his door because you tied your mask the wrong way round and ran into it

Donatello:

This dance is beautiful

f*ck:

What the f*ck am I watching

LostTheBraincell:

Are you trying to out blackmail me???

LittleMike:

[Live Stream recording]

[Michelangelo is clapping his hands, tearing up at the apparent beauty of the dance]

I_Crave_Chemicals:

How are the Leos still in their meeting

Katana is with them I can smell it

Red:

GO MIKEY GO

SMASH THE COMPETITION

f*ck:

Nah

My Mikey will win

His drum solo was better than this

Red:

Take that back before I beat the green off you!!!

f*ck:

Come on

I dare you

HasTheBraincell:

I regret to initiate war but I must so I do not get blamed for the scorch mark in your room

I, Donatello Splinterson, declare a blackmail war

~~Electro~~:

Someone teach me ballet

I can do dances but not ballet

MC-MIKEY:

Duuuuude ur breaking up the band

Red:

Come at me

Bonk:

From across the multiverse?

LostTheBraincell:

Fine

You just made the worst mistake of your life Donatello Splinterson

Donatello:

You better hurry, your act is in the next twenty minutes!

Steroids:

I’m not wearing the hat

f*ck off

MC-MIKEY:

AHH

AteTheBraincell:

Why did our act get disqualified it would have beaten this dance sh*t ages ago

Where’s the fire in this huh

~MagicMike~:

[Mikey, when dancing closer to the screen, reads Rafa’s message and quirks a brow.

“Not enough fire? Excuse me?” He says. With a snap of his fingers, his markings glow and he’s suddenly completely on fire. He then continues to dance like nothing has changed]

LittleMike:

[When Orange sets himself on fire, Michelangelo’s expression changes to one of complete shock and horror. He points wordlessly at the screen.]

f*ck:

Wait what

Raphael:

What the shell just happened

Red:
