[ 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--

[ Damn it, Raph!

Since his pity ploy doesn't seem to be working, Mikey gives it up and speeds back up, catching up to Raph easily enough.

After what feels like several forevers, they reach Raph's place and Mikey leans against the wall, clutching his plastron. ]

So... hungry... can't... move...

1/2

[seriouslytwisted]

[seriouslytwisted]

Guess I better eat all that food myself then. [Shuts the door after himself!]

[sureisaguy]

[ Oh look, I guess he can move after all!

Mikey springs away from the wall and bangs on the door. ]

Raaaaaaaaaaaaph! Let me iiiiiiiiiiin!

[ Don't be so cruel, can't you see he's wasting away out here? ]

[seriouslytwisted]

It's unlocked, you moron.

[Once Mikey comes to his senses (if ever) and opens the door, he'll find a weird-looking fruit chucked at his face. Eat that, it's fucking delicious.]

[sureisaguy]

[ ...he knew that.

Snatching the fruit out of midair, Mikey squints at it and turns it over in his hand. It doesn't look particularly tasty, but then his stomach growls loudly enough that Mikey could swear it rattled the windows and he remembers he doesn't care.

Biting down into it, he makes a very, very happy noise and munches his way through the entire thing, ignoring the fact that he's getting sticky fruit juice all down his chin and plastron and on Raph's floor. ]

[seriouslytwisted]

[Raphael will attempt to force Mikey to clean it up later.]

Good, isn't it?

[sureisaguy]

[ HAHAHA yeah good luck with that. Mikey's strategy is usually to be so unbelievably inept at chores that someone else ends up taking over just to get it done.

Doesn't work on Splinter though.

Licking his fingers, he sighs happily. ]

That. Was awesome.

[seriouslytwisted]

[It's because Leo and Donnie spoil Mikey and don't make him follow through on things because they know they can do a better job.

And of course, Raphael is not guilty of spoiling Mikey at all. He's the enforcer, after all; nope, never spoils his baby brother.]

Here. [He tosses another fruit in Mikey's direction, though he does grab him by the mask tails and yank him over to the table to shove him in a chair, first. At least just get his table dirty instead of his entire suite, would you?]

[sureisaguy]

[ And you'd better believe Mikey milks that for all its worth. ]

Ow ow ow!

[ Sitting down hard, he pouts at Raph over the fruit before stuffing that one into his gaping maw too. ]

So how long've you been here?

[ Swallow first, Mikey. Geez. ]

[seriouslytwisted]

[Raph heads over to see if there's anything he can make a sandwich out of, because he's still hungry and doesn't exist to feed his stupid brother.

Ah, good. He has some bread and that half a roast chicken left. Chicken sandwich sounds freaking amazing right now.]

Almost four months. [He pulls out the chicken, bread and various condiments to lay them out on the counter. He'll have to go scavenging again tomorrow night.]
