"You're conversing with Donatello-
...
.....
Just kidding, you got my inbox bu~t if you leave a message I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can."
no subject
[He flexes his fingers before resting his hands in his lap.]
I'm trying not to use them for anything too crazy. It's...kind of cool otherwise.
no subject
[Mikey's face goes thoughtful.]
So you can, like, turn them into... anything...
[His voice is careful, he's planning something...]
no subject
[He sliiides a look at Mikey.]
no subject
[He grins.]
What about a pizza cutter? Or a grenade launcher? A sword? Oh oh! What about stuff that isn't weapons, like a unicorn or a teddy bear? Hold on, let me see if I can find one of those data pad thingies and we can come up with a whole list of things for you to try!
[He searches around the room, but comes up empty. Unfortunate.]
Actually, I'll just text you the list. [Even as he speaks he's pulling up their most recent messages.]
no subject
I can also shift my fingers into tools- really convenient when I need a screwdriver or something.
[He makes a face at Mikey's listings.]
I doubt I can make a firearm... although that would be pretty cool. It'd be like Rock and those human-looking robot guys!
-a unicorn though? Seriously? Mikey it does still have to be attached to me.
no subject
[Mikey looked thoughtful, but mostly excited. Still attached, that limited things...]
Well, the unicorn can still be attached, like a statue or something.
[Maybe not practical but they aren't being practical, they are being cool.]
There are so many possibilities here Donnie! [He clasps his shoulders with a vibrating energy.] You are limiting yourself with tools.
Though... You could already do cooler things with your ninpo... But we work with what we've got.
no subject
But then what else am I supposed to think of? I can't not think of...of practical uses.
[He looks at his hands again. Mikey's comment bothers him and it is going to nag at him now.]
no subject
[Mikey gave him a very gentle, very tiny shake.]
You think of fun Donnie. Remember that? Fun?
[His eyes widened as an idea came to mind.]
WE COULD PRANK LEO.
no subject
The shake does help though, even if Mikey is given a brief confused look at the answer. Fun? Fun. Huh... But how do you have fun with weird magical ar-
Donnie stares again at Mikey before his expression shifts sloooowly, thoughtfully.]
Okay, you have my attention.
no subject
[Mikey finally stood so he could pace around as he talked through his plan.]
If we can turn it into something scary maybe? We can hide and chase him around with it, or even just do that creepy shadow thing on the wall. Or we keep popping up so he keeps thinking he's seeing things but they're not there. The trick here is that it's attached so we need to stay out of sight and that really limits our options...
[All of these were pretty low brow ideas, he could do better than this. Think think think.]
no subject
I don't know... Haven't you guys had enough scary and paranoia to deal with lately?
[Or maybe that was just him.]
no subject
[Ah, right.]
Yeah... good point. [He tapped his chin. Well that certainly limited their options, for the better though. Probably. He steeples his fingers and taps them together, staring out the window like the stars would give him the answers.]
The point was to use your cool new arm to do something, but there is no reason we need to stick with just that. We need to broaden our horizons.
no subject
Maybe we can just surprise him somehow...
[Somehow setting up things to explode in a flurry of feathers seems so much easier, but then their current environment could hold just as many possibilities as it did limitations.]
no subject
[Mikey settles back a little, putting himself into thinking mode.]
Surprise him you say... [He says this like he had any ideas.]
If we set something up while he's sleeping, we could get him when he wakes up, and then it's extra funny because he's not fully awake.
no subject
Additionally, I can just morph my hand into something unexpected when he wants me to pass him something. Instant surprise!
no subject
[Mikey rubs his hands together.] Ohhhh if you are passing him some food, even better. Pretend like you didn't even mean it.
[He bats his eyes.] I'm sorry Leo, I don't know why this keeps happening. [He mimes tipping over a plate and laughs.]
no subject
Ohhhh he'd probably get so annoyed.
no subject
OH! Bonus points if it's messy! Dump a pizza on him or something!
[It felt like old times, being back at the lair, devising increasingly unhinged ways to pass the time and bother the brothers. It felt good. After everything. It felt really good.]
no subject
[But the grin on his face suggests it's still quite an open option. This is how things should be, where they can just be goofy and occasionally do dumb, inconsequential things.]
no subject
Not if it's a terrible pizza. All sauce, baby!
[He says this a little too loud with hand motions to match and all the confidence in the world.]
no subject
no subject
I think that's just you, Don. But the pineapple would help it look more like a real pizza...
no subject
no subject
Donnie. We're almost making a real pizza here. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's not a waste. [He gives his brother a very pointed look.]
no subject
Oh okay, fine. You have a point.
