[voice]

[Exploring and ninja-ing around is turning up a whole lot of dead ends and questions with no answers, so now Raphael is going to try his last resort.

Conversing with strangers.

Making sure he has his voice only function on (pretending that little SNAFU with it in his earlier conversation didn't happen) he reluctantly addresses his fellow...strand-ees.]


Okay, seriously. How many of you people actually buy that "you are in the in-between" story?

[the mystic new-age voice for the quote helps set the atmosphere, yes it is necessary]

[Before this post, Raphael will be swimming around in the Water Sector, trying to keep as hidden as possible but needing to surface to breathe and also sneak back up onto the docks occasionally when he can't cross sections in water. He's a stealthy little bugger, so the average Joe might miss him, but anybody with serious training or extra-sharp senses might find him.

...or you might catch him when he's losing his temper and angrily kicking over a barrel after talking to yet another tree-hugging native yokel, whatever.]

Yeah, if you say so. Still rather get out of here and back ASAP.

[zerotoawesome]

You don't have people trying to kill you and stuff for being a mutant back home?

[seriouslytwisted]

Well, yeah- kind of, but my family's there. What've I got to keep me here?

[zerotoawesome]

Okay, that's... A good point. Your brothers might show up though.

[seriouslytwisted]

Yeah, but-

[...WAIT A SECOND]

I never told you I had brothers.

[zerotoawesome]

[...

...]

Uh... Yeah, you did?

[Flawless deflection.]

[seriouslytwisted]

No, I didn't. I didn't even say it anywhere on here, to anybody else.

[Dammit, DAMMIT. And he'd really liked this guy too- Now he just feels like an idiot.]

What were you talking about when you said you'd met me before? And you better tell me the truth pal or I'll figure out a way to beat the rocks out of you.

[Santo has A+ not fucking things up skills. He really should have just kept quiet, but that was never something that he was good at. And then things slip out like this.]

Okay, calm down, dude. It's not as bad as it seems... I think... Maybe. [He sighs.] Look, I actually kind of met you before. Here, on this turtle. I don't know how you don't remember that, or how you disappeared and came back or whatever the heck is going on, but yeah, I've met you here before. You're brother Leo was here too.

/CRYING SOFTLY INTO HANDS

[seriouslytwisted]

My-

[dude you are going to give him a heart attack]

Leo? Leo's here? Where is he?!

I am so sorry.

[zerotoawesome]

I don't know, dude. I don't even know if he's still here, that was over two months ago.

NO I LOVE IT

[seriouslytwisted]

Two months.

[...]

I gotta go.

HE FEELS SO BAD

[zerotoawesome]

Go? Go where?

IT'S SO LOVELY YES

[seriouslytwisted]

Find my brother, what else?!

[Raph darts off, but comes back and jabs a finger at the camera.]

Look- look, we're gonna talk later and you're gonna tell me everything you know about me being here earlier! You got that?

[zerotoawesome]

I... Uh, yeah. [He just rubs the back of his neck, not really sure what he's supposed to say now.] I'll be here, dude.

Good luck.
