[VOICE | Backdated Pre-Event] Survey

[anything_it_takes]

[You wanna play it this say, Raph? Taking surveys to prove a point? Fine. Let's play.

It's not about who cares - well okay, to be fair, that's the MAIN reason they developed such fine-tuned stealth skills in the first place. But that's not the only reason a ninja should stay hidden. With enemies who would probably not announce themselves first, who would see him and his brothers on the Network and then proceed to silently hunt them down one by one...

The last time the team faced Shredder, he nearly killed them all, starting with Leonardo himself; the memory of seeing the intent in Oruku's eyes while facing down his blade remained a deeply chilling moment. But now Leo's team is down by one, they're not always together and they can't just stay underground here. If Shredder found one of them out in Keeliai, alone, with no way to contact the others for help...]

How many people have had their enemies show up.

[A question with the cadence of a statement. That's how you know he's serious, apparently.

If this survey turns up zilch? Leo will have to concede the point completely. But he doesn't really suppose that'll be the case. Let's find out.]

Does Raph count?

[ Cheeky little brat. ]

[SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH.]

No Mikey, he doesn't.

[sureisaguy]

[ Ohhhhh right, no video. ]

Just checkin'.

[seriouslytwisted]

He does now.

[you lil' shit]

[sureisaguy]

What?

[ All innocence and sunshine and adorableness right here. ]

[wallcrawler]

I'm still free and clear. And believe me, any of mine show up, you'll know.

Their take on the whole "evil" bit's a lot like Raph's people skills: loud, obnoxious, and fun to mock.

[He knows you're listening, Raph.]

[audio]

[anything_it_takes]

Yeah, it's not the ones who would announce themselves that concern me.

[As far as Leo's enemies go, anyway. A single Kraang is child's play, and as for somebody like Baxter? Annoying, challenging if he got his hands on some of the tech around here, but Leo doesn't consider him that dangerous. Dog Pound, Xever - they would probably announce themselves, but could be handled.

There's only one Leo is truly worried about. It's well-founded though.]

[audio because dammit Leo fine, he'll entertain your bloody paranoia]

[wallcrawler]

You mean of yours or mine? Because Rhino and Venom are both pretty loud, and I'm not exactly in a hurry to see either of them.

[A straight forward question asked seriously gets the same in return from Bruce.]

There's... one here from my future. We haven't met. But I've been warned.

[He actually has met Loki and doesn't know it. Oh, shenanigans.]

audio;

[anything_it_takes]

[Hey, someone who can speak reasonably. Cool.]

Thanks for the input.

I have to admit, getting enemies from our future wasn't something that'd occurred to me. [Great. ANOTHER reason to be paranoid. Why u fuel Leo's paranoia, Bruce :C ]

audio;

[angermanaging]

[Any expectation that Bruce won't fuel paranoia is doomed to disappointment. He's a career paranoid.

But he does appreciate reasonable conversations, himself.] It didn't occur to me either. I did get... friends from the future, too. A lot more of those.

I'm trying not to think about it too hard, [he says, slightly wry.]

video;

[zerotoawesome]

I kind of wish they would. Things get too boring around here in the downtime.

video; YOU ARE THE BROEST OF BROS SANTO

[seriouslytwisted]

Right?!

video; HE KNEW YOU'D UNDERSTAND RAPH

[zerotoawesome]

These kedan thugs aren't even a challenge. I'd be down for a robot or two showing up for once.

audio;

[anything_it_takes]

I'm going to take that as a "no."

[STOP ENCOURAGING HIS BROTHER OH MY GOD]

audio;

[zerotoawesome]

Definitely a "no", but give it time. I have like... a hundred enemies back home, so one of them is bound to show up eventually.

[Sorry, Leo. It's a bit late for that.]

video;

[alphatar]

Why would you even ask that on the network? [And why did she stop mahjong to answer this post? Not like this her favorite topic to discuss.]

audio;

[anything_it_takes]

Uhm. [Congratulations that is NOT a response he expected. And he's not sure what the problem with his question is, so Leo's unsure how to respond. He's not asking her to reveal anything confidential, is he?] Well, I'm just looking for a "yes" or a "no." You don't have to say who they are if you don't want to.

[Waaaaaaaait a minute he recognizes her from creeping on certain conversations. She knows those blood-benders, doesn't she. Nice loud familial argument those brothers had over the Network a week back or so, and Leo remembers seeing her getting involved. She seemed Very Not Happy with the one who attacked Sabriel, didn't she?]

I think I know your answer already, though.

video;

[alphatar]

[She just learned that network posts aren't private to only those who respond, so Korra only sighs at her speakers.]

Apparently you're not the only one. It's not an easy thing to talk about on here since quite a few other people have some pretty strong opinions about- uh, yeah. You know what I mean.

[She'll just keep playing mahjong while she's talking since there's no video, so don't mind the mouse clicking.]

But that didn't answer my question. Why would you ask that on the network? [Not asked with tenacity, just curiosity.]

[neoguardian]

[Hey! Ryan!]

Hm...not that I know of...I wouldn't be too worried about it though. If Shadow manages to rear his head...I defeated him once, I can do it again!

[anything_it_takes]

[UM YEAH ABOUT THAT he'll come clean eventually. When he has to.]

It's good your enemy doesn't pose a serious threat. [And he means it. Leo might not have trusted her with his real name when he was trying to stay incognito, but he likes the chatty echidna and he's glad she can defend herself against whomever wants to hurt her.]

Most of ours don't bother me either. A few would raise some serious trouble, but we can take them.

[The Kraang (individually not much of a threat), Snakeweed, even Dog Pound - their power, aggression and violence can all be handled. It's the one who'll deliberately catch his brothers alone that troubles him.]

text; anonymous

[demon_brat]

Three definite villains and one person of dubious morality from one world, or versions of it, have shown up, at different times.

audio;

[anything_it_takes]

[Oh hey somebody cagey enough to use text. Leo respects. He would respond in the same format, except spelling "dubious" is not really something he wants to try.]

"Dubious morality," huh. How dubious are we talking? Is he dangerous? [Are we talking unpredictably aggressive, or just not someone you should leave unattended with your wallet? Leo knows a lot of punks with dubious morality, but he doesn't consider them problematic.]

voice;

[wherethestoryis]

Three for certain, though two others might have counted. And only one is here right now. Recent arrival. [Hear the aggravation in her voice.]

Is this a current situation, or just judicious planning?

voice;

[anything_it_takes]

Heh. The latter. [Judicious, she says. Well at least SOMEBODY seems to appreciate the necessity.]

So, what you're saying is that it's fairly common.

[It's looking more and more like people don't wind up here randomly - they know each other, or are enemies with each other. So if the Emperor keeps bringing people from Leo's world here... Shredder could drop in at any time.

Great.]
