III: The Good, The Bad, and the Chucker | [Action | Voice | Video | Everything]

[the_mikester]

[Mike's had a pretty rough time of it in Luceti so far. His brother turned out to be gay and dating a weird guy with no chi. His other brother is in love with a pretty hot chick who apparently likes it rough. His third brother... well, his third brother's the same as he's always been, actually, as is his father. But one of their most hated enemies

[And Leo's peering into the kitchen at all the stacked up cakes. His tones disapproving.]

Mikey. Didn't Master Splinter talk to you about limiting the sweets you make?

Obviously I need more cooking icons. Too bad they almost never show it.

[the_mikester]

[Mike's voice is distracted, and it's easy to see why. While a few cakes are in the oven, he's busy stacking a few others on top of each other and seeing how well they balance.]

Theses aren't for us.

Not just us, anyway.

Damn lazy animators. They only really show Mikey cooking and ine one ep.

[honorthecode]

[He'll frown at that.]

For who then?

[the_mikester]

For the guests.

[Mike takes out a rather long serrated knife and starts cutting away pieces of the cake tower, frowning at it and turning it to different angles as he works. He looks like he's trimming bonsai, and he's very focused on what he's doing.]

My birthday was four days ago.

[honorthecode]

Absolutely not! Birthday or not, you can't just go inviting people over to our house.

[the_mikester]

[Mike doesn't even look up.] Relax, Leon. Their references all check out. I think you even know most of them.

[honorthecode]

How many times have you met them, to know they've checked out? How do you know it's not some act. [Leon? He's peering at you, moving to lean on the door frame[

Who?

[the_mikester]

Vivi, Keimi, Fujiko, Robert, Ami, Lucy and Winry.

Ami and Lucy are good, trust me. You know the rest, I think.

[He chews on a piece of fallen cake and considers his creation so far. It doesn't look like much, but Mike has that gleam in his eye that should worry you a little.]

[honorthecode]

The only names I recognize are Fujiko and Robert.

[He's distracted by the cake maiming though.]

What are you doing anyway?

[the_mikester]

Didn't you meet Keimi? She's the one who found Raph.

It's a secret. You'll find out when everyone else does.

[honorthecode]

Yeah, I did.

[He raises an eyeridge at that though.]

Right, a surprise.

[the_mikester]

Yup!

[He'll never tell.]

[honorthecode]

[But hey, he's watching. ]

[the_mikester]

[Then he'll see Mike stacking squares of cake on top of each other, slathering icing in between the layers like a confectionery bricklayer. It's getting quite tall now.]

[honorthecode]

[After a bit he pushes off the door frame.]

Don't make it too tall. [He warns, worried about the huge mess that could be made if it toppled over.] Have fun Mikey. [With that he'll head out of the kitchen, unless stopped.]
