26th Shuriken ➣ [Action / Voice]

[meanandgreen]

[You know what's not cool? Gaining eight hundred pounds over night. Yeah, no. Raph wouldn't recommend it. He also wouldn't recommend waking up in the wreckage of wooden splinters that was once your bed because it collapsed under said weight. He also wouldn't recommend waking up a giant lizard that looks all too familiar, scaring the crap out of

[Mike may be a faun now (and there's just something about that word that strikes him as incredibly girly) but he's still Mike, so he's still sleeping in the same room as Raph.

Which means that when the bed breaks with a loud crash, he wakes up and scrambles sleepily to his feet hooves with legs that still don't work quite how he wants them to. And then catches sight of Raph.

And falls to the floor again, whimpering.

He's gotta be dreaming.]

[not_gamera]

Hungh?

[Raph glances hazily around the room, completely disoriented. What the hell? When Mikey catches his attention, his head swings to the side in a way that feels like his neck's been broken, like his head's been ripped off his shoulders and sloppily reattached.]

Wuh thuh -- ?

[turtlefaun]

[Mike is whimpering, trying to scoot out of the room, hooves scrabbling on the floor. Finally, he finds his voice:]

Raph! Donnie! Leo! Master Splinter! Someone!

[not_gamera]

[What? No! It's just some stupid experiment! He reaches out to Mikey with clawed, oversized hands.]

No, Mikay, 's me!

[He reaches up to touch his face. Talking feels weird, and he sounds like a damn retard.

Whatever he's turned into, it's scaring the crap out of Mikey. Sharp teeth poke his fingers, and his whole face feels foreign. That can't be good.]

Wuh's wrong wit me?

[asimplereason]

[Grocery, eh? How about we try this again, with a little less crazy bitch who wants to kill you? So Winry is going up and down the aisle, picking up food with her new telekinetic powers. So the ingredients like meat, carrots, potatoes and seasonings follow behind her in some kind of odd magic line. Feel free to freak out? She's also green.]

[not_gamera]

[Raph's happily inhaling a package of raw steaks when the freakish Winry-parade catches his attention.]

Ruh?

[Yeah, he still hasn't mastered talking yet, and his mouth is full of uncooked meat. But he's obviously looking at you.]

[crytearsofjoy]

[Sorry, too busy concentrating. You'll have to try better. Now over to the dairy section.]

[not_gamera]

W-wuh-wuh.... [Yeah, that's not happening. At least he can still manage to pronounce this perfectly:] Yo!

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

['Scuse her. You may be the craziest looking creature she has ever seen in her life. Freakin' out now.]

[Action]

[not_gamera]

[Even worse is he may or may not be holding a half-eaten bloody deer carcass. Don't mind him. Just an afternoon snack.]

Hugh!?

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[Yeah. That helps.]

Please don't eat me, giant scaly! I'm not delicious I promise!

[She takes a step back, but trips and falls backwards. Legs? How work?]

[Action]

[not_gamera]

[He turns his eyes heavenward and sighs. Yeah, he's used to that kind of reaction as a regular turtle back home. He can't really blame her for freaking out seeing him like this.

Speech, don't fail him now. He's still trying to figure out how to talk with his mouth all screwed up like this.]

'M nah gonna eat you.

[godbent]

[Holy crap what the hell is- is that Godzill- no it's not. Um. It's some sort of dinosaur-turtle thing. She was just trying out the X-ray vision on this box she has in her hand to try to work out the layers but Good lord this thing demands her full attention as it lumbers on closer.

Mind you, she's looking at him through the large box in her hand]

[not_gamera]

[He won't pay her much attention. He's on his way to the grocery store, and he's hungry for meat like you wouldn't believe.]

[godbent]

[...Huh. You know, this thing is interesting enough to be followed. She closes her eyes and shakes her head, willing that X-ray vision to cancel out, and in the same movement drops her box - which makes a loud noise because it was more of a crate - and then goes to settle in to following this dinothing.

What are you up to, prehistoric turtle?]

[not_gamera]

[One of the cool things about being a turtle vampire dinosaur thing is your senses are turned up twenty notches. He turns his head at the sound of the box being dropped, but doesn't pay the girl much attention at first.

A few moments later he realizes he's being followed.

He stops and cranes his enormous neck to look at her, but doesn't say a word. Still, the obvious irritation on his face reads Do you mind?]

[wise_maiden]

[He may notice Raine on her way to one of the streams, in his wandering about later on. She looks a little subtly different, herself, though considering all he's going through, it's questionable if he'll pick up on it.]

[not_gamera]

[Raph's been stumbling around in a hunger-fogged haze ever since he parted with Keimi. But he's ceased his hunting for now, his plastron and jaws completely soaked in blood.

He sits on the riverbank, staring at his reflection in one of the slow-moving pools of water collecting around the water-worn stones. His eyes are blank, but the gears in his head are turning.

When Raine approaches on the other side of the stream, he lifts his head and watches her dully.]

[wise_maiden]

[As cautious and alert that she's trying to be, she still doesn't quite notice the altered reptilian.

Barefoot, she dips a toe into the water, then draws it away almost immediately. Then dips it again, moving it back and forth to create a small rippling effect.]

[not_gamera]

[An involuntary sound of curiosity vibrates as a low growl as the woman nears. His mind is too cloudy to make sense of it, and the monster inside of him is still controlled enough not to attack.]
