001 ● VIDEO

[ 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--

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ 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. ]

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

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

[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.

[ Yeah sorry he does that sometimes. ]

Trapped? Like... booby-trapped?

[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.

[ Oh you have no idea, Mikey giggled for like, a full minute after that message. ]

Dude, that is awesome. I thought Leatherhead was the only one who did that!

[There's no recognition on Mike's face at the mention of Leatherhead.]

It's standard procedure for if we ever got separated in a part of the city we weren't familiar with. Hunker down, defend your spot, and unless you're in direct danger: stay where you are until the others find you.

[ That's cool, Mikey's ADHD has firmly kicked in and he's forgotten he even mentioned the mutant alligator. ]

You have gotta teach me that.

I'm kind of surprised you all don't already know how, to be honest.

What's that supposed to mean.

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

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

[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.]

[GLKSJFLKS]

I sound nothing like that!!

[His voice may or may not have cracked there.]

So what you're telling me is that it needs work?

That isn't exactly what I meant.

Are you sure? Take a second to think it over, just in case.

Uh excuse you.

[ THIS. IS. AMAZING. ]

[Mike. Just. Grins.]

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

[ Mikey sounds like this is the single greatest revelation he's ever witnessed. ]

SHUT UP!

I SWEAR TO GOD MIKE IF YOU CALL ME THAT ONE MORE TIME I'M GONNA HIT YOU SO HARD YOU'LL FORGET WHICH DIMENSION YOU'RE EVEN FROM!!

[Mike just makes eye contact with his younger self, and smiles. The kind of smile that proclaims to the world that he is so cool butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.]

[ That ugly, choked snorting sound is Mikey doing his absolute best not to laugh out loud. ]

Mikey? Both of you?

I will hurt you.
