[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.]

[SHUT UP]

Yeah really! Why wouldn't we be the same age?!

Uh, no reason! It's just that you're kind of...you know....

[Okay, so Leo said he'd be gone for most of the morning, and that's just great. He forgot to mention that he wasn't gonna bother showing up on time for them to leave for work. Not that he's eager to spend another afternoon serving Little Miss High and Mighty, but it was Leo's idea to go along with it in the first place. So he's pretty sure he died or something, because Leo's never late for anything.

So that means Raph's gotta go hunt his green butt down and figure out what the hell is going on.

What he sees is Leo talking to someone. His brain doesn't register who that someone actually is. He's more stuck on being pissed at Leo than anything else.]

Yo, Leo! Where the hell have you been? We gonna...

[Okay, hold the phone. About twenty feet away he realizes that is a turtle. A turtle who's seriously ripping off his style. What the fuck is that all about?!

So he storms up to the imposter, reaching out to grab him by the shoulder and and get all up in this jerk's face. He gets that the kedan are shape shifters but this is taking it too damn far!]

Just who the heck are you supposed to be!? You think this's funny!?

[If Raph hears 'short' out of Leo's mouth he'll- well he'll get angry because Leo's the one who said it. ONLY HE IS ALLOWED TO CALL HIMSELF SHORT! Or Splinter. Maybe Donnie if he does it sensitively.

It doesn't matter though, because some jackass grabs him and Raphael responds to that just as well as any other Raphael in any other universe would.

He throws a punch at the guy's face.]

[You want a fight, punk? You got it! Raph throws up a block for that punch and aims a kick at the jerk's plastron that's meant to send him on his ass if it lands.]

You think this's some kind of joke!?

[Raphael gets a look at the guy's face the second his fist his knocked aside, and his negligence earns him a kick to the gut that sends him sprawling. He at least turns his tumble into a roll and ends up on a knee, sai out and in his hands.

......great. Just great. Raph jabs a sai in his other self's direction and shouts at Leo, because clearly this is Leonardo's fault.]

This guy? He's supposed to be me?! You're joking!

[You're drawing weapons, SO IS HE! He has no idea what the hell is going on here, but obviously the only thing that makes sense is to kick this guy's ass. With a snarl, he starts charging at this creep like a mad bull.]

[Weapons out, which means it's Leo's cue to step in.]

Enough! [He dashes forward to intercept his brother, arm thrusting out to halt him mid-charge. His gaze sweeps from one Raphael to the other.] Stand down - the both of you!

And why should I listen to you?! Get out of the way! [Raph spins his sai and hunkers down.]

[Leo's attempts at stopping them do make him think about the situation for a second, but the minute the kid starts making a show of his sai, rationality leaves the building yet again.

He glowers at the other turtle from behind the wall that is Leonardo, chomping at the bit for round two.]

Bring it, slime bag.

[The gravity of what's going on is rapidly settling in - he has two Raphs on his hands. He can barely keep a handle on one! Leo tosses a short glare over his shoulder at his brother, arm still raised to block his path. Stop feeding the fire YOU started, little brother.]

I said enough. [His voice is icy cold as his eyes turn back to the younger Raphael; he might be from a different world, but Leo's never backed down from a fight with Raph, and he's not about to start.] Everyone cool off.

[This Leo reminds Raph of his brother Leo; like when Leo is saying something Raph knows is right but still doesn't want to listen. That just makes him even angrier, because if his brother Leo were here he could just listen to him instead of having to settle for this impostor.

He grits his teeth before straightening up and sheathing his weapons with a growl.]

Forget it. I'm out. [He turns on his heel.]

[Raph gestures with his sai, calling back to the kid with a sneer.]

Yeah, you better run.

[What that accomplishes, exactly... he has no idea, but he sure told him.]

[Tossing yet another look at his brother. Don't do him any favors, Raph.]

[The younger version's put away his sai, at least, which means the main crisis is averted. Leo puts away his Raph Stand Down voice and quickly breaks away from his brother to take a few steps forward.]

Hey, wait a second - this is all just some stupid misunderstanding!

[Oh dear.

Raph turns, shoves past Leo and reaches up (ARGH WHY IS HE TALLER UGH AND HE'S BIGGER ALSO UNFAIR) to jab a finger at Raphael's plastron.]

Just try me, you blimp. I'll wipe the floor with you!

[WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!?

Okay, yep. Kid's gonna die.

And yeah, he's totally bigger and way scarier than you, you little insect. Raph is more than happy to tower over him, even if it's by a few inches. The feeling is as freakin' awesome as it is unfamiliar as he snarls right in the guy's stupid face.]

In your dreams, you puny little twirp.

[Hey, at least they put the weapons away... for now.]

[...weapons still away?]

[...]

[Good. That's all he's gonna bother to hope for at this point.]

Raphael, meet Raphael. [Leo, meet nightmare.]

[That kick was enough to put Raph's guard up; this other version of him has a lot of power.

...not that it deters him at all from running at Raphael like a bat out of hell, or from opening the fight with a duck and uppercut move to take advantage of his smaller stature.]

[Raph blocks and parries away from that uppercut, going to kick him hard in the bridge with one smooth movement. The kid might be smaller, but he's faster too, and he obviously well-trained. Not like any identity thieving, bonehead kedan he's ever seen. Finally he's starting to think a little more about what's happening here. This kid is not a kedan. He can't be. Not with moves like that. So that means...

No.

No way!]

You're callin' him Raphael? Have you lost your nut!? You know this's gotta be some sort of trick!

Well, what do you want to call him, then? He's got your dazzling personality!

[Leo is just standing back and letting this happen now because as long as you're not killing each other he is 500% done already]

STOP TALKING ABOUT ME LIKE I'M NOT HERE!

[ARGHSOKVJSLFKS HE HATES YOU OLD PEOPLE

Raph only barely manages to roll out of the way of the kick; his older self is slightly slower, but SHIT he's strong and he's a lot more skilled and he felt Raphael's foot scrape over his carapace. -BUT WHO CARES IF HE'S STRONGER OR BETTER

RAPH WILL JUST HAVE TO

GET REALLY GOOD IN THE SPAN OF A FEW SECONDS

His feet scuff across the ground as he tries to grab hold of some traction so he can throw himself back at Raphael. Doesn't even occur to him to try anything but a direct attack; he's definitely not the seasoned warriors these older versions are.

Or maybe he's just a hot-headed little brat, there's that too.]

[Bad idea. Raph's ready for him this time. The next move he tries to make, Raph just goes in for a throw. No holds barred. The kid needs to stay down so he can figure out what the hell is going on, already!]

[Just watching with his hands on his hips. DO WHATEVER.]

[YUP IT WORKS.

Other-Raphael gets a damn good grip on Raph's belt and the rough lip of his shell; hoists him up like he weighs nothing and slams him back down so hard that everything in his body rattles.

Yyyyeah he's not getting up for a minute.]

[Okay, good. Maybe now we can have a little civilized conversation around here. With the imposter on the ground, he turns to Leo, an eerie calm taking over his body language.]

All right. Now that we've made our introductions, somebody mind tellin' me what the heck is GOING ON!?

[...Or we can keep screaming like children. That works too.]
