who knows, maybe the whole turtle gang will show up.

[thepurpleone]

I'm sure the aliens would regret it- not that I'd be mad if the rest of the guys came.

[cactusy]

four teenage boys running around? the rest of us might.

[thepurpleone]

The place could use some livening up. You'd thank us.

[Or throw them out of an airlock.]

[cactusy]

not the verb i was thinking of

[thepurpleone]

Just take my word for it and be thankful that Mikey's not here. He would literally be all over the place.

[cactusy]

he into space and aliens?

[thepurpleone]

Oh, we all are. Except this time we'd be kidnapped by actual aliens instead of an actor who thinks he's a scifi hero.

[cactusy]

an actor, seriously? where was he on a scale from Hollywood A-list to Lifetime extra?

[thepurpleone]

Admittedly the franchise is old but I mean...when you have sixty-plus movies it has to count for something, right?

[cactusy]

the hell was a guy like that doing kidnapping you?

[thepurpleone]

-Almost- kidnapped.

...okay no that doesn't sound any better.

See. My brothers and I went to go see him at a con and did not realize that he was a few points off a redemption card if you know what I mean.

And...admittedly against our better judgment we eagerly went with him to his place to see his collection of replica weapons from all the movies we'd ever watched, not knowing that he thought we were actual turtle aliens from the planet Reptilia.

[cactusy]

what did he want to do, dissect you?

[thepurpleone]

Oh wow, no- he just wanted to display us in his gallery of dioramas featuring all the enemies he vanquished.

They turned out to all be cosplayers he paralyzed, by the way. Creepy, right? Leo and Mikey almost became part of his collection.

[cactusy]

really creepy. were the paralyzed people conscious?

[thepurpleone]

Yeah, actually. There's this thing he does in the movies called the Nerve Pinch- anyway I had to ruin a perfectly good in-perfect-condition comic to learn how to reverse it so we managed to free everyone.

[cactusy]

that's not the kind of thing that's easy to recover from.

[thepurpleone]

Everyone seemed to run off just fine.

[cactusy]

adrenaline response. it takes a while to hit sometimes.

[thepurpleone]

Oh. Yeah, I guess that's true. Well in any case, we managed to convince him to stop doing that. Can't really do anything about his being convinced he's a sci-fi character though.
