[TEXT] Leo to Team, COME IN TEAM
[The cart ride into Keeliai is long, exhausting and stressful. Leo presses himself into the furthest corner to hide (which still leaves him painfully visible) even as his sharp blue eyes peer through the slats, taking in as much of the alien city as possible.
On one hand, this is the most amazing thing Leo's ever experienced, an exhilarating adventure straight out of Space Heroes. On the other, he's never felt so alone, out of control and exposed in his life. Sure, he always wanted adventure, but not without the guys - and not hauled down a city road in broad daylight, surrounded by people turning their heads in curiosity.
At least the few kedan on the street who take a close enough look into the open-backed cart to spy him out don't scream or run. But there are some stares, and he can feel the undercurrent of hostility like a flame inches from his skin. There's a tension in the air in some parts of the city they go through, a hard look to some of the kedan when they see someone not like them...
Leo slips into his appointed building like - well, like a ninja, or as close as possible while lacking the cover of darkness. When he gets to his temporary quarters he leans his shell against the door and sighs wearily; alien robots and plant monsters are one thing, but this? This is an entirely new level of crazy.
Water had seemed a natural choice when the kedan gave him options. He's glad of his choice now as he splashes some from the room's small fountain over his head, then winces as he does the same to the burn mark forming on his shoulder. It's not serious, but Leo's entire arm aches and tingles from channeling Justin's electrical shock through his katana. He's certainly pulled smarter moves.
Hopefully whatever jerked him "sideways" during that explosion also took his brothers through in slightly different places, and he can link up with them again once they all get their bearings. He knows the team can handle this situation, but first? They have to be together.
He'll start canvassing the city come dusk, one Sector at a time if he has to. But until nightfall, Leonardo has time to kill, and he isn’t about to sit around doing nothing.
Settling in at the console, Leo sets it up for a text message - and pauses, considering his options. This is a public network; he has to get a message out that his brothers will understand if they're listening, but that won't arouse too much civilian curiosity or alert any enemies.
There is one thing... He'd batted around an idea for a code word with Donnie. The problem being, it was never official - Leo just hadn't anticipated a realistic situation where it would be useful. The idea was just idle talk.
He hopes that if Mikey or Raph are alone out there, they'll recognize his reference. Donnie will catch on at least, if he's listening. One way or the other it's the best Leo's got until he can search the rooftops.]
ANy New Yorkers out here? if you know the 2nd Time About shop on Bleeker, contact me ASAP
[Ryan to Dauntless, come in Dauntless...]
Aalso. Look, I got the story from the kidan ans I know i can;t be the first person to ask. But Im looking for any leads on how t get back to my own world... stories, rumuors, anything.
Thankyou.
[Please don't let him be alone out here. Leo presses Return.]
[ tl;dr Enter one cagey ninja turtle boy with delusions of being a Great Hero! Leo v.2012 is here and super worried about his bros ;A; ]

[Leo's not quite hardened and tempered like Raphael, but there's young steel in his demeanor all the same. He doesn't want to initiate a fight and he certainly doesn't want to corner this guy - and not just because he's pointy. But Leo's tone is firm, neither heated nor aggressive, and there's a stiff, distinctly Leonardo politeness over the entire thing. Even without a display of anger, he has his own line in the sand: the safety of his brothers.
The only reason Leo isn't coldly furious right now is that his OWN brother already put a damn video up, so this Raphael's indiscretion is just another worm in the algae. They are on encryption now however, and as long as that concession is made Leo won't push it. He got a compromise, and will do his best not lose it.
The "chicken" line though? It makes Leo chuckle, voice tinged with a pride that flirts with arrogance. He's fifteen thank you, not five.]
Yeah sorry, I appreciate that you want to know what I look like [he's flattered, really] but I'm not turning on this video camera outside of Donnie's encryption.
I'm sure we'll see each other in person eventually.
[Video- 30% Encrypted]
Do whatever you want, blue-boy. I'm outta here.
[The feed ends. He can go waste his time on something else, thank you very much.]
[Endcap - because I'm pretentious and wordy that way - No Transmission]
It could have gone a lot worse, that's for sure; but Leo's got bigger issues right now, so to speak. Older-Raphael was more than big, he was downright huge. However twilight is easing in and he has his ACTUAL brothers to meet. Leo switches off the console and goes to wash his shoulder one more time before heading out. He... probably should have used some of this time to bandage that. Well - it isn't that serious, it'll keep.
He'll see you around, Huge Raph. Sooner or later.]
