[ The video feed loads and Mikey comes into view, frowning in concentration with his tongue sticking out. Computers are not his best subject. After about ten seconds he seems to realize that he's broadcasting and leans in, grabbing the console screen as if he can see everyone if he just gets close enough. ]

Uhhh... hello? This thing on?

[ He waves a two-fingered hand in front of the camera and sits back slightly. ]

So um, anyone know if this turtle gets DSL? 'Cause I gotta send a word back to my bros and I can't find the internet thingy on this computer.

[ Squinting at the console, a look of understanding dawns on his face. ]

Ohhhh what if I press--

[sureisaguy]

Yeah I know, I'm pretty awesome, right?

[Audio -> Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

In the most traditional sense of the word, yeah.

[Mike waves at well...Mike.]

[sureisaguy]

[ Mikey just. Stares. ]

Whoa.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

How's your day going? Because mine just got a little weird around the edges.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

I'm kinda maybe thinking about freaking out, yeah.

[ Mikey peers into the screen. ]

So uh, are you like... me from the future or something?

Re: [Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

I don't know...what year was it before you came here.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

2013!

[ That's an easy one. ]

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

Nope, not from your future then. Sorry.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

Dude, this is totally freaky.

Like, super freaky.

[ But awesome. Because if ONE Mikey is this great, having two must be AMAZING. ]

So do you know my bros? Uh... our bros? But like... the ones that are mine, not... uh...

[ Oh dear, now he's gone and confused himself. ]

[michaeljangelo]

I think know might be a bit strong, but yeah...we've been introduced.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

Yeah they can be kinda uptight sometimes.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

[The look of utter relief that crosses Mike's face is...impressive.]

Oh my GOD, you have no idea.

...

Or maybe you do.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

[ YES oh god Mikey has an ally against the cruel tyranny of his brothers! ]

Bro, the stories I could tell.

[ Let's hope he has just enough sense not to tell them over the console where his brothers can all see. ]

[michaeljangelo]

Judging by what I've seen thus far? I can only freakin' imagine.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

[ Oh no. No you can't leave him hanging like that. ]

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike sits there in relative silence just watching this other Mikey...watch him.

It's after like, fifteen seconds of just watching that Mike realizes he's supposed to have kept talking.]

Uh...well, I trapped my house, and they all freaked out like I was one loud noise away from grabbing a sniper rifle and climbing the nearest bell tower.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

[ Yeah sorry he does that sometimes. ]

Trapped? Like... booby-trapped?

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike totally has to fight back a smirk at Wee Fightin' Mikey's use of the word "booby."

Why?

Because at the end of the day he's still a sixteen year old boy.]

Pretty much, yeah.

Re: [Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[anything_it_takes]

What's that supposed to mean.

[OF COURSE he's lurking on this chat.]

[sureisaguy]

[ OH MY GOD WHERE IS THE POPCORN IN THIS PLACE ]

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

[What follows is an impression of choice snippets of Leo's scolding from Mikey's arrival post.

It's not a great impression, but...it's a pretty effective one.]

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[seriouslytwisted]

Uh excuse you.

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[sureisaguy]

[ THIS. IS. AMAZING. ]

[Video | Basic Encryption to Known Turtles.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike. Just. Grins.]

For instance, Mikey.
Did you happen to notice just how much Raph looks like a fetus?
