Leo is in Milliways and up on the roof before he can collect his thoughts. And with his super secret ninja senses tingling (really, his older brother radar and Raph's inability to hide traps well), he makes his way along the edge of the roof and to the tent. He is polite. He knocks before he opens the door and comes right in.

Comments

*It's not fair. It's not fair that something like that hurts more than a punch to the gut.*

Bite me, Leo.

[ginsu_master]

"Love you, shell head."

He eyes Raph warily.

"Gonna help me out here, or am I gonna have to go off and kick some ass on my own?"

[mnt_raph]

*Raph's face wrinkles in disgust. Don't read that wrong. Raph loves his brother, no matter how much of a good two-swords he is. It's just that he'd never say such a thing outloud if he could avoid it. And he usually does.

Hair soaking wet, and with the professed love of family, Raph's shoulder slump. He's defeated. Under the guise of scratching the back of his head, Raph looks away and mumbles something that might sound a little like:*

Leo wrinkles his nose because he's five. "Ew. I mean. Um. No, I mean ew. So, you're that bad a kisser?"

[mnt_raph]

Screw you!

*He sighs and wipes his face with his hands.*

I don't know why she left, but she stormed out the other night because I wouldn't let her...I wouldn't let her mother me. It's just stupid. It's stupid and like one of Donnie's frickin' Soaps.

[ginsu_master]

"..." He thinks on that a moment. "...this is a girl thing. I think this is a girl thing. But, she just left. ...I can't believe she just left. She didn't say goodbye or anything. She just left." He picks up the scattered letter and looks mournfully at it.

[mnt_raph]

well...she was kinda pissed off.

*Raph kicks at his floor.*

I mean, I figured she'd storm off, slam doors like normal, and then come back. You know, like always. Saw her name on teh board downstairs, figured she was just avoidin' me.

[ginsu_master]

"I mean, normally, she calls and wants to throw things at my head. And she fumes. And she throws things at my head some more. Calls Casey. Throws things at his head for a while. Throws things at the wall for variety. And she gets over it. Or hits someone."

"Hey, think she was on her, you know, thing? That, what she call it? Her monthly bill?" This all makes perfect sense to Leo.

[mnt_raph]

*Raph looks up at the mention of "monthly thing".*

We are so not goin' there.

[ginsu_master]

"That's it. Come on, we're going to go save April before my head explodes from all this."

He goes out the door.



And comes back.

"How can we get to California?"

[mnt_raph]

Mind if I, you know, put some pants on?

*Raph grumbles as he makes his way towards his dresser. In the background, the bed is being made by hands unseen.*

Well,...
*Says Raph as he dresses.*

Could always mail ourselves again.
What the fuck is in California anyway?

[ginsu_master]

Leo stares at the magical bed making before getting back to Raph.

"April and some crazy ninjas? I don't know. I like home. S'nice. Upstate can be nice too."

"...I don't feel like being a package again. Someone always blocks the air holes. Don't have much of a choice, do I?" He pokes his belly.

[mnt_raph]

Oh yeah, like I do?
You think they're gonna let me on a plane without any kinda ID?

*He says zipping up his steeltoes, and gearing up from the weapon stand in the corner.*

Do we even know where in Cali she is? I mean, it's a pretty big fuckin' state.

[ginsu_master]

Leo thinks for a moment.

"Los Angeles. She's got a friend there. They've written each other for years. M...something. Should have picked up her little black book."

He rubs his forehead.

"Guess it's time to hope someone can really do a one day delivery now a days."

[mnt_raph]

Yeah...no shit.

*He dashes back to his dresser and picks up the picture, then makes his way towards the kitchen and grabs a bag of Oreos from the cabinet.

Travel snacks.*

Let's bolt.

[ginsu_master]

"I'll leave something for the others. And time to grab someone's little black book."

Leo and Raph head out of the tent. Time for an adventure!
