87 Raph - Sweet Treats OC Ask Game

| Sweet Treats OC Ask Game

My jelly bean boyo!!

I have loved TMNT since the 90's movies but I never fully watched the 87 series 03 was my first I had seen epsiodes from VHS types but even then Raph was my favorite I love how sassy he can be.

And that hasn't change I even have a 'raphsona' with a friend of mine cause we both say 87 raph is us XD anyway time to talk about best boi uwu (All raphs are best boi)

Tres Leches Cake: Describe your character in three words.

Rude: It's legit in the theme song that he is rude and it's pretty much always on display Raph never pulls punches, hes always very open with his thoughts and never really cares how or what he says comes across he just gonna tell it like it is which dose make for a lot of funny remarks on his own end. I feel a lot of this is shown when it comes to Leo unlike his other incarnations he's not really one to fight Leo on the leader roll, but he dose tend to push it with leo when feeling like his plans fail hes always gotta make a comment about it XD

Tough: Raphael is still the toughest out of the four, I do find it kind of intresting that he didn't start off with a bad temper that gets better over the course of the series he more devolps ones over the course of the series, yeah sure cause they chagned the tone of the show and all but I like to say it's cause stuff got to him more uwu so good thing he has casey to help him with it uwu

Sarcastic: The fact he uses this as threat I feel sum it up a lot but Raph is a very sarcastic ass in the show XD And well i'm here for it as stated before Raph is someone who always has a comment to make and often? it's sarcastic

Fruit Tart: How does your character feel about spring? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season? Lemonade: How does your character feel about summer? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season? Pumpkin pie: How does your character feel about fall? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season? Gingerbread: How does your character feel about winter? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season?

I feel like Raph is much more a fan of Summer since he likes to go to the beach and sit on the shore and its nicer todo that on Summer nights with Casey. outside this? he's not really someone who has one season he is like all about so to speak. Raph is going to complain when it hot or when it's cold he'll complain about the rain even as well. It's Raph hes more likely to complain about it when its not even an issue XD

Sure there are things he likes as mentioned for Summer, he likes drinking hot coco one a cold snowed in day. Loves when Splinter makes them a warm meal after they are chilled to the bone. Loves snuggling in bed with Casey when it's raining outside and he can smell the rain blow through the window.

It's small things but there are things he dose like as well.

Chocolate Covered Peanuts: Describe one character who’s sweet and another character who’s salty.

XD nah I wouldn't even life we all know this boy is salty af, again its in the fuck them song he is rude!

Raph often tends to state thst human issye should fall on to the cops and not them to slove if they have no real reason to be involed he isn't first to hit but if you piss him off enough? then hes hitting twice as hard and I find it Funny the main times I can recall that happening were cause of Casey XD

Hes got his nice side of course, but hes a salty bitch and we know it seeing how hes okay correcting a younge alien about everyone hating him he wants it on the record he dose in fact hate that child XD

Ice Cream: How does your character feel about the cold?

Hates it uwu unless he don't gotta go out cause then thats different means he gets to stay home and be nice and cozy warm drinks watch his favorite show warm comfort food even perfect uwu but he hats going out in it, being a turtles adds to this he dosen't handle cold all that well after all. Raph likes to be warm over cold himself after all so if he gotta go out hes bundled up but he hates it cause its hard to move around like that XD

S’mores: Is your character an outdoorsy person? 

hmmm I feel like Raph isn't against going out doors but I also feel like he isn't like seekign out to camp? like if the reason came up? Sure but thats about where that ends.

Milkshake: How does your character deal with change? Do they prefer a consistent routine, or do they like to shake things up?

Change is something that is just very much just part of the world that Raphael is a part of I mean he dosen't live a normal life being a mutant and all for starters. And crazy stuff tends to happen but in truth I feel the best display of this? Is when he thought he was going to fucking die XD Like he ahndled it decent despite all the trouble he got himself into sure he was worried at first but he decided to make good use of his time so I would claim that in the face of change well it may at frist throw him off he learns to make the best of it and try bettering his situration even if it can't be fixed.

Smoothie: What would your character do on a warm day at the beach?

Sit in the sand and watch the ocean uwu Raphael loves the ocean he loves watching the wave wave in and out, taking in the sound of the water the smell even the feeling of the sand under him he loves sticking his toes in the sand even. Raphael just finds comfort in the ocean, from his love for praites and wishing to board on a ship for a cruise it's not so much for swimming but he dose really love the ocean it tends to be his go to when those anxietys of his do pop up I can for see Raph owning a casset of ocean sounds if he can't get to the beach himself.

Iced Coffee: Describe how your character runs errands. When they have things to do, do they just get up and leave, or do they make a list and a plan?

easy he don't uwu

XD like yeah they make runs to get thing they want/ need but Raph? He only going if hes been dragged along by someone else

Donut: Describe your character’s morning routine.  

Raphael wakes up last, in the we know Donnie don't sleep. He's gets his mask and such on and makes way to the kicthen for some cereal before hitting the living room. Either to grab dibs on the tv or joins the other in catching April's latest News report. From there Raph joins in with training with his brothers, because Splinter is very instant that they keep to that as a daily route. A warm up, some real work out depending on the focus at the time like weapons or hand to hand followed by a cool down. Raph tends to hit the showers after that, he likes to smell fresh juuust in case of certien nut job pops up uwu.

From there? The day is pretty much his it sort of just depends on whatever they have going on though. Raph might watch tv with his brothers, if he can rope someone into watch his favorite show that be nice but no one really ever dose sadly u-u. He'll tag along if his brothers are heading out somewhere as well. Mostly for fun not for any heroing unless they got pulled into something of course. Raphael don't really have any urgency in all truth.

As the day get later I imagie Casey is free from work so Raph will head over to his place cause he tends to enjoy breaking in uwu. Either they partol or be gay together depends what they got planned for thier day is all. Once Summer is in the picture I feel like Raphael tends to spend a good part of his day with her, and once Casey is free from work the three of them might spend time together at least. Evetually this girl needs to ya know get clothes and such and Raph can tag along with Casey for all that stuff. Even figuering out how to get her in school. XD I haven't fully thought about her age tbh she able to get around though so shes not a toddler she might at best be kinder age but that more so she not too much older than Ari XD I like to think over time these 3 will end up getting a family routine over time ;3;

Brownie: What would your character do if they suddenly became rich? (Or, if they are rich, describe how they spend their money.)

I feel if any of the turtles got rich hijinks would be happening for sure, I feel for Raphael? Hes gonna indulge with his new wealth XD buy so many thingsa just cause he has the fucking money todo so, maybe he'll pay for a cruise where thes no risk of it getting interupted either.. Don't worry it wont all go to him even through he could he'd make use of the money for his family as well, maybe get them out of the sewer at least. Into an actual home somewhere still secluded of course Hes a dad now so he would get stuff for summer too ;3; not the place but I like to think he gets her her first toy a stuff bear dressed up hockey mostly to help her get used to casey uwu

Sugar Cookie: Does your character enjoy decorating their space or do they prefer keeping things plain?

I feel if Raph was able to do so he likely would but he dosen't really have the luxray of doing that he makes his bit of space his own like his pet fish from Mikey. He has a poster from the comdey club Casey took him out to before as well. It's not that he don't want to decorate his space, but more he never has and when he can he don't much of it.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad: Describe where your character lives. What’s special about it? Does your character like it? 

New York City, Raph seems to really love living in the city he comes off as someone who has pride and joy being a New Yorker even despite living in the sewer which he don't seem to mind either because well that is home for him. it's quit but cozy. And has everything they need and considering thier situration? I think that says a lot ;3;

Caramel: Describe your character’s problem-solving abilities. Do they easily get out of sticky situations, or do they flail until help arrives?

I say Raph is good with this he tends to lean on Leo's plans cause hes not really keen on trying for the leader role. But when left alone? Raph can handle high stress situration just fine such as when he found himself in the middle of trouble on the cruise ship he manged to avoid getting captured and nearly dealt with the threat all on his own.

He has a few moments like this and I think it shows how much he kind of holds back happy to take a back seat to most thing since he dosen't always have that sense of ungerceny. Back to the wall though you can expect Raph to be there to figure shit out.

Cupcake: How well can your character cook and bake? 

XD uhh ask Von and Casey seeing how hes gave both food posion before

Tiramisu: Describe your character’s layers. How do they appear to others on the outside? What are they like on the inside?

87 Raph plays the tough guy route of 'i don't care' but thats not ture at all it's easy for him to hide behind things like his sarcasm and bad jokes because it makes it seem like he's too cool to care about things

but? Nah he maybe cares more than anyone might orginally think, Raph often seen smacking talking toward Mikey but he can't bring himself to hurt Mikey or the idea of losing him even ;3; When Raphael was trying to become a detective he didnt even bring up that fact to his brothers because he had other things on his mind only telling Splinter about it because he followed and asked him. He will goalt over winning right to the tv but loses intrest the second now one wants to watch with him.

Raphael act like he dosen't care but deep down? he cares a lot and its more for his own sake that he tries to cover up this fact about himself. Though I feel some of it is easy to tell by some ;3;

Crème brûlée: Oh no, your character just started a fire. How would they react?

XD get Leo?

Birthday Cake: How does your character celebrate their birthday?

He dose not like his brothday uwu In truth he be okay with it not being aknowdealge at all not even a present or a happy brithday wish, he has no whimsy when it comes to the day u-u hes gotten a bit better about it over time and is fine with his brothers and Spliter getting a cake at least for him for the day but in truth? Thats as much as he is willing to celebrate it. he wont be upset if anyone wants to celebrate but to him? It's really not a big deal it's just a day that happens to be his brithday he dosen't see much reason to make a big deal out of it.

[Discord chat xD]

The three were sat at the dinner table, talking about their days - after Richard had told Buddy to take their hat off for the four hundredth time. It was the one rule that Buddy never seemed to remember. As they talked about their days, Bailey soon smirked as he recalled that afternoon.

"Did you know what your Papá got worried about today Buddy?" Bailey chuckled,

Buddy looked at up them, eyes glancing between them curiously,

"No...?"

The two looked to Richard, but Bailey knew his Richy wouldn't be admitting to it anytime soon. Good thing Bailey was here to poke at their small faults, to let them see how little slip ups like this can be laughed at and it wouldn't be the end of the World,

"Well he overhead you talking to Rhodes, and thought you said that you had gotten him pregnant," Bailey laughed softly, finding the humour in this, "It's why he ran back to your room before he remembered it wasn't possible~"

Bailey just smiled, half-listening to Richard as they defended themselves. However, it seemed that Richy may've had more reason to be worried than first, as Buddy spoke up,

"No, we can get Rhodes pregnant."

The silence was louder than any spoken words. Buddy just shrugged with a smile, and continued,

"Well, I mean, Rhodes can get pregnant but I dunno if I could be the Papá cause I'm an android - Charlie can definitely get him pregnant though."

Suddenly, Bailey wasn't laughing anymore. He glanced at Richy, hoping they would say something. Buddy continued to eat, noting the looks of their dads face, because tilting their head,

"What?"

| Muse interaction decided this should follow this convo so [part 1]

Richard and Buddy always had this little battle of sorts. Buddy just had to push and ask about the whole hat thing, thinking they might wear Richard down, possibly well, they were in for a surprise Richard was not going to let it go. You think eventually one would give but sadly, they two of them were very much the same. Stunbborn and maybe that was why Bailey deicde for a change in topic give thier son some levage in sense.

"Did you know what your Papá got worried about today Buddy?" Bailey chuckled, Buddy looked at up them, eyes glancing between them curiously, "No...?"

Richard took a moment to look at Bailey unsure what the rooster was up to. As the pair of them were facing Richard, soon though he had landed on what they were talking about. Richard simply huffed and took his seat at the table, deciding he wasn't taking part of this conversation anymore. Simply piling on food to his plate before setting the serving utensils back

Uncaring that Bailey was being well Bailey and likely knew he wouldn't admit to the lasp in logic he had. Look he was just being a catuios parent thats all and was that so wrong or even something to tease him over? Yes because this was Bailey.

"Well he overhead you talking to Rhodes, and thought you said that you had gotten him pregnant," Bailey laughed softly, finding the humour in this, "It's why he ran back to your room before he remembered it wasn't possible~"

Richard tried and failed at not reactiong before he ended up do that instead well aware he was doing what Bailey was hoping he would. "How was I meant to know Buddy was simply spotting out nonesense just cause they wanna be a little brat knowing all that have to say is anything in spainish to apperently flirst with one of thier boyfriends." Richard states trying to defend himself. "If I knew it was that easy I would just tell you something like, Hay una fiesta en mis pantalones, and call it a day." Though considering what he said he may still not be really making a solid point himself.

"No, we can get Rhodes pregnant."

Though before the nonsense between the couple could continue they both seem to catch what Buddy said at the same time as the room just fell into a slience this house may have never really known. Well not since Richard came into Bailey's life at least.

"Well, I mean, Rhodes can get pregnant but I dunno if I could be the Papá cause I'm an android - Charlie can definitely get him pregnant though."

Richard's fear seemed to return and was even mirrored on Bailey's own face as they just seemed to fall into a wordless conversation.

"What?"

"I'll Charlie's aunt and uncle you call Rhodes mom, you will be giving them the talk tonight and i'll make sure they sit and listen this time." Not even paying an ounce of attetion to any dissagrement from Buddy as he left the table and went to go and make his phone call.

MM RaphDon - "Wait, who are you?"

| Send, "Wait, who are you?" for sender to get amnesia! Send, "You know who I am, don't you?" for receiver to get amnesia.

Raphael had always had a free pass to break into Donnie's tent. Even if Donnie didn't always want his company? He never actually sent Raphael away maybe wished they didn't come in at times he didn't but still they just never said or did a thing about it. So it just set in Raphael's mind that he could go in whenever he wished and that was very well the case currently.

As he laid happily on his shlee beside his twin who was burying thier face in the crudly made manga he and Von worked on. Raphael wasn't sure if it was the same one or a different one. But, he knew the charater based off Casey was in it and that's why he was always looking at it.

Man Donnie needed some fucking art classes though.

Setting down the page he been looking at before turning back to his twin clearly still in mourning, Raphael just rolled his eyes at the moment. "ya know you being miserable aint fun less 'm the reason you are being miserable." Raphael complains as he flipped over on to his plastorn trying to get a better look at his twin brother. Not that they really ever had proof of that being true, but it always felt right.

Raphael's eyes lowered to see what had Don's attention it wasn't so much the manga they worked on together as it seemed to be notes written down by Von about it. Thier 'planning' or whatever. It wasn't a secert that Donnie wasn't doing great it was part of Raph joing the weeb club because well he felt like his brother needed a fucking friend. But, maybe that whole twin thing about them was more ture then either of them took the time to think about. He was there when he said bye to Von after all and how he turned into the hug that was offered. Don's just be miserable ever since. You think she dumpped him.

More like Don was expecting it and if anyone knew the pain that brought? It was Raph.

"Don, have you ya know tried telling her you miss her? Like not just I miss seeing ya? But miss everything 'bout her?" Raphael suddenly asks. "Tell her 'hat ya fucking worried something might happen even?" Raphael continues with. Honestly, the expression from Donnie seemed earned before they open thier beak, finally talking.

"Wait, who are you?"

"Oh shut up" Raphael threatens as he balls a hand into a fist so to make his threat more concert. " 'm being serious Donnie. Look, well I thought Case was being ridcouls about bein' jelous over Hun, when I finally ya know gave him I dunno a chance to show he wasn't bein' stupid but bein' honest about a real fear of his 'hat I wasn't I dunno guess taking serious. It made things bad between us, when I did take him serious though?" Raphael admits as he sets a look to Donnie, as if waiting for the bookworm to give him the answer like they would in school.

"we worked it out." Raphael says annoyed but unwilling to wait for Donnie to try for an answer. "An' ya sure Casey still get jealousy going on, but I heard 'im out and I think 'hat makes Casey feel better." Raphael's be trying to better show Casey he listening at least and offer reassuance because well thats what relationships were?

"Dose it drive me nuts? Ya but casey always drives me nuts that nothing new, but I love him so i know to hear him out now. Only now though I didn' before." Raphael not sure he ever said he loved Casey around anyone whose wasn't Casey before. "Take it from me Don, 'm an idiot I make mistakes heck ya won't let me forget about the sai to your leg afta' all." He says with a roll of his eyes as he still punches Don in the shoulder but this one more of the affectionate kind. "Jus' talk to Von, she cool I'm sure she'll understand."

03/07 Rasey - "Wait, who are you?"

| Send, "Wait, who are you?" for sender to get amnesia! Send, "You know who I am, don't you?" for receiver to get amnesia

"Alright come on" Raphael huff as low in tone he can well making the edge in his voice clear. As he support Casey's weight across his shoulders. Trying to get them to move thier feet but they were more dragging them agasint the floor. Leaving Raphael having to shuffle Casey's weight trying to get them to lean more against him as he tugged thier arm around his shoulders. Weight shifted to better support Casey's dead weight. "Alright 'here we go."

Raphael gritted his teeth greatful the inside of the building was dead, all the upright standing humans were in bed. Unlike his idiot of a human husband. Raphael dragged them mostly on his shell as he made way towards thier apartment. After all this time having that key Casey gave him, he thinks this is the first time he every actually used it. Guess it was a good thing Casey insisted her have one after all. He doubted Casey could even recall where is own was let alone use it. That is if they didn't fucking leave it at whereever the idiot decided to go drink down half the alchol in the tri-state area.

Was raphael pissed? No. He was beyound frustrated though and that just seemed to boil his temper into more of a simmer that he been working on for awhile now. And maybe Splinter had been right over time he would learn to control it better maybe it was something todo with maturity. But as they stubbled through the front door, and Rapheal fumbled with the lock behind them. The turtle just knew hw was reaching whatever new distance the line had become for him over all these years. Or maybe it was just the situation.

Step by step the turtle carried the human towards thier bed room, not bothering with a single light switch. Raph's eyes had long since learned to see in the dark but he also knew the layout of the place enough to get by as he finally made it to the room, slugging Casey off near about throwing the human on the bed uncaring how they landed as he huffed and ring his hands together. Popping his knuckles as he looked at Casey as they seemed to stir a bit.

"Wait, who are you?"

"One very pissed of turtle." Raphael spits out as he huffs out a suddenly hot breath of air. Raphael knew Casey was just well enough to put it the nicest he could. Falling apart, since the passing of thier mom. Casey had a complicated relationship with both his parents. His mom being the nicer one sure but didn't make it any less the case. Was Raph upset at Casey for falling apart? Over his mother of all things? No, that women was saint riaisng Casey of all. What was pissing him off? Was Casey clearly having some sort of crisis going on yet being so fucking stupid to think he's keeping it a secert and coming off as holding himself together! Shutting everyone out and just Raphael didn't know. Hell did Casey? Raphael was trying his best do as Casey always has for him. Just be there but how is he meant to be there when Casey won't let him?

This had to be karma.

Raphael sighed heavily looking at Casey, before he gave in and kindly pried thier heavey shoes off thier feet before pushing them up on to the mattress. So they could be comfortable before he sat on the edge of it. Looking over Casey's face a moment. And something in him softens as he reaches over to tuck a part of their hair behind their ear. Casey seeming to notice the cooler temp against thier skin. Before he leaned over and let his lips press againt the crown of thier head. "I'll get over it though, jus'- i'm 'ere for ya Bud kay?"

My oc Rhodes Hill, I can't leave him out for the Pride fun.

Rhodes the FTM Transgender genderfluid gay polyamorous wanna be rockstar uwu

[ducknotinarow]

[Richard and Buddy xD Casually giving Richard a heart attack xD]

"Papá, good news, you're now an Abuelo!"

Buddy beamed, holding up the store bought egg that they had been assigned for the week,

"Rhodes and I have to raise this egg for a week! Her name is Prisceggla - if Rhodes claims anything else, he's lying," Buddy claimed, "Would you like to hold your Grandbaby Papá?"

Buddy was taking this assignment too seriously.

| muse interaction

"Papá, good news, you're now an Abuelo!"

One had to wonder how much was Buddy being an airhead and how much was done on purpose when they would just suddenly annouce things like this it isn't like Buddy hadn't heard when Bailey just felt the need to tell Buddy about Richard's freak out the other day. It had to be done slightly on purpose even Richard felt that way when he startled at Buddy's announcement when they enter the cafe.

A moment of quite, well Richard was in his office, enjoying a fresh cup of coffee well he was going over the bills for the month looking at the budget for next and what they could add in for upkeep around the building. Stuff Richard would claim to be fun, because to him this was in fact fun for him. Till now when he was left sitting up tryinh to absorb what he just heard hoping his hearing was just suddenly going.

"Que!" he called out trying and failing at sounding calm as he left his desk and made for a b-line to the front of the cafe. Only to be met with, an egg. A store brought egg not one from like Rhodes persay and Richard felt his should fall in pure relief.

"It's the egg project" Richard utters under his breath moving to take a seat at one of the empty table since the relief hit him like a brick as he looked at the egg Buddy was proudly presenting to him in the moment.

"Rhodes and I have to raise this egg for a week! Her name is Prisceggla - if Rhodes claims anything else, he's lying,

Richard simply nodding taking that information at face vaule. Richard didn't bother to ask what they meant anyway too busy soaking in the fact Buddy was just way too into this school assigment. But maybe this was a good time for this assignment to come up if they were fighting over a name alone? The chances of teen pegnavcy might be lower now. Ignoring the fact Buddy still physically couldn't do that and for some reason Richard wasn't as concered about the chances of Charlie making that happen either. Charlie seemed to have the most sense out of the three of them at least.

"Would you like to hold your Grandbaby Papá?"

Richard just lifted a brow at the question, "Mijo?" He asks as if getting ready to break the truth on santa and other beings on that level. "That is just an egg, not my grandbaby. It's closer to being my breakfast than anything familiar." Richard says flatly to his son. Thinking them to just being getting carried away.

Well no he knew they were getting carried away here. Buddy was very much like Bailey when it came to that. Bailey would play along he could see them stealing the egg and dressing it up because his 'grandbaby' can't not be stylish. "Just don't take that thing with you on deliveries, I'd hate for you to break it. The yolk will ruine the leather of your bike." Richard takes note of the expression he is getting from his son. "Mijo, I am not delusion like your father call him to play house with." Richard states before moving out from his seat and heading back to his office. "I need to finish the budget if your going to make your case on the egg being family." Richard had no doubt in his mind, he may not agree but it be rude to just walk away with not letting Buddy fail themself at trying to convince him.

87 Mikey - Sweet Treats OC Ask Game

| Sweet Treats OC Ask Game

I have grown to have a soft spot when it comes to 87 Mikey more so the way I write him here but still XD

Raph will always be number one of course but Mikey is nice for a change of pace ya know when the muse is there plus he's fun for the outside stuff like helpping out Von and Casey cause for some reason this became his job in the family XD help him!

Tres Leches Cake: Describe your character in three words.

light-hearted: Mikey is a very light hearted person, Mikey I feel unlike his brothers is often not ever really effected by anxiety or either even serious he also tends to be care free. In other versions this tends to be because of him being the youngest. Personally I don't think Mikey is I know there isn't anything solid proof on it but this Mikey dose not take on the youngest traits either. I say it's more him having the Sufer like mind set. 'a philosophy that encourages embracing the present moment, enjoying the journey, and recognizing that life, like surfing, is full of unpredictable waves and opportunities'

upbeat: Mikey is a very cheerful and optmistic turtle I feel this is kind of why Von and Casey tend to lean on him for some help at times. Casey wasn't really going to act on his feelings for Raph till Mikey gave him that push. And even though Von still lets Don get away with it also learned to least demand some attetion from Don cause Mikey often giving them the upbeat support on the side lines. positive: Mikey is honesty? The most postive of his family sometimes he sulks but he's often taking things in stride. Likely why unlike Raph or even Donnie hes more in the camp of helping humans out because well they are able todo so. Mikey always is the one to find a postive spin on anything going on even if sometimes his brothers are annoyed by this but clearly needed ;3;

Fruit Tart: How does your character feel about spring? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season? Lemonade: How does your character feel about summer? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season? Pumpkin pie: How does your character feel about fall? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season? Gingerbread: How does your character feel about winter? What’s their favorite and least favorite thing about the season?

When it comes to the seasons I feel mikey is more of a fan of the warmer seasons he nots a fan of the cold personally. Both cause cold blooded but also cause they tend to be trapped in the lair more when it's cold. New York gets a good amount of snow after all. Sure theres some nice hoildays and he uses them as a reason to keep his family spirts high.

But he is far more a fan of Summer, Spring is nice too but it rains a lot in spring and he's not too big on that. Summer is what he likes most it's warm out it's light late in the day. He likes to go to the beach and put his toes in the sand uwu this is why he talks like that.

Chocolate Covered Peanuts: Describe one character who’s sweet and another character who’s salty.

Oh mikey for sure is sweet uwu

I think one of my favorite little things is that Mikey apperently bought pet fish for Raph. And is known to give gifts to his brothers often. Mikey of course, also is a animal lover having two pets in the serioes and was quick to try and give one back when he thought they be happier.

Of course, there is the stuff he dose for his family he always cooks for them which is why he under stood Casey side in his and Raph's fight. Mikey tends to hear out his brothers with thier issues as well and give them a postive outlook on the matter. Like when Donnie was heart broken over April rejecting him.

Mikey is just sweet and no one can deny that ;3;

Ice Cream: How does your character feel about the cold?

He is not a fan XD

S’mores: Is your character an outdoorsy person? 

yes and no? Mikey isn't like seeking out to go on a camping adventure but he dosen't dislike it either.

Milkshake: How does your character deal with change? Do they prefer a consistent routine, or do they like to shake things up?

Like stated above Mikey has that surfer mind set and that means that change happens and all he can do is accept it in the present and go with the flow. Besides Mikey life is full of change and it's easier to just elimate the issue of disliking change.

Mikey is accepting of the circumstances of his life and see's no reason to not embrace it and all the werid that comes with it of course.

Smoothie: What would your character do on a warm day at the beach?

put his toes in the sand uwu Mikey likely volentress to be buried I like to think when Ari and Summer are old enough he'll let them do the sand mermiad thing or build a sand castle on him he's happy to chill under the nice warm sun and keep the little ones occupied in the mean time uwu Or he is surfing uwu

Iced Coffee: Describe how your character runs errands. When they have things to do, do they just get up and leave, or do they make a list and a plan?

I think Mikey dose well when it comes to being the one to run errands. I also feel like him being the other one in the family who handles the cooking next to Splinter. So Mikey tends to perfer to handle the shopping anyway because of this.

Mikey only shops for what he needs at the time though he dosen't think ahead or shop with the mind set of ill need this for monday XD

like i said he's very in the now so that dose tend to effect running errands XD

Donut: Describe your character’s morning routine.  

Mikey rolls out of bed in time to get breakfast going for everyone. Well when they wake up it's more like noon but still. Mikey and his brothers then train for a few hours before they break to do whatever else.

Mikey normally makes lunch after this for himself or everyone dosen't really matter he knows hell be hungry. once that is settle and they don't have any world ending stuff going on? Mikey will spend the rest of his time either watching TV or reading his comics.

His routine isn't too orginized or in depth XD

Brownie: What would your character do if they suddenly became rich? (Or, if they are rich, describe how they spend their money.

Buy a pizza oven.

Honestly if Mikey suddenly became rich? He might just go all out and buy an old buildign and set up a pizzaeria XD this I feel never matters what paoint in the show were talking about XD Because if Mikey has the space he could have more pizza ovens.

On the one side it's nice because he can easily feed his family on the other it's profit cause he can sell pizza and keep providing for his family and such. Maybe he could convince Casey to make up desert cookies? He would never darn ask for the brownies he knows those are speical.

But

I also feel like Asking Casey is opening up trouble XD

Sugar Cookie: Does your character enjoy decorating their space or do they prefer keeping things plain?

As much as he can at least. When he is able to find things he likes to decorte the space.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad: Describe where your character lives. What’s special about it? Does your character like it? 

In the sewers with his brothers and master Splinter. They are lucky to find a good section they were able to build into a home. A kitchen, a living room, training area and thier own rooms. Sort of they are all together but thier beds at least are in there own secontions.

Personally I feel like the kitchen is more of Mikey's space anyway uwu

Caramel: Describe your character’s problem-solving abilities. Do they easily get out of sticky situations, or do they flail until help arrives?

No XD

It's Mikey he's not really the best with this sure he can in a pinch buuuut you are gonna want Leo or Donnie before Mikey XD

Cupcake: How well can your character cook and bake? 

Mikey is more a cook over a baker, not that he hasn't dabbled and least been the one to make the cakes for the fam, but he tends to let Leo handle decorating he has the better penship for one. Mikey just leans more to the savory when it comes to food esp if it happens to be pizza uwu

Tiramisu: Describe your character’s layers. How do they appear to others on the outside? What are they like on the inside?

I would say on the outside? Mikey is a carefree guy with no worries ever he gose with the flow and is just a chill guy.

Under this? He is very empathic to those he cares about. His brothers of course, friends and others like the alien child who thought everyone hated him (Raph don't count.) Mikey just has a deep care for others and that tends to really shape why he is the way he is. hes not uncaring if anything his mind set is just what those around him need from him most.

Crème brûlée: Oh no, your character just started a fire. How would they react?

XD See imma aruge Mikey can handle a fire if hes the one that caused it but I also feel like he never has, but like if one of his brothers did in his kicthen then he also could handle it just fine.

Birthday Cake: How does your character celebrate their birthday?

Mikey I feel is the tyoe who dose for his own brithday make the food and cake but everyone still celebrates it with him XD He just rather not risk the chance of death because someone on else tried to cook or bake for him unless it was like Casey then that's okay least he knows then the food is for sure safe that way XD Mikey likes to just take advatage of his special prevliages on his brithday like he gets full control over the remote he don't have to handle any clean up after meals either since he did the cookign this seem double fair in my mind.

And I feel it's a for time Donnie will be out of his lad and least give like an hour of his time to spend on the brithday celebration uwu

2k12 April Casey - "You know who I am, don't you?"

| Send, "Wait, who are you?" for sender to get amnesia! Send, "You know who I am, don't you?" for receiver to get amnesia. [part 2]

April was more than used to Casey running late when it came to their tutoring sessions. For one reason or another, something always kept them held up. Hockey practice, his sister Angel, Raph (because that guy was unable to function the second they finally got together) or himself.

Honestly it was fine over all. Either Casey came raving about practice, or Angel as a tag along, photos of Chompy and Savage, or a sappy smile with the mention of Raphael's name. April learned Casey did not show up on time that's just how it went with him, though if he was going to be on time for once today would have been a nice day for Casey to surprise her with that, As she kept twirling her pencil between her fingers. Eyes fixed on the math workbook set in front of her, full of tabs and small little notes on the edges.

But, that was just where she was staring out towards. Her mind still had her back in her home, sitting at the table with her dad. The conversation repeated in her mind. April wishes she could claim her dad was being unreasonable but well was he? Was her Dad in the wrong at all here? If anything time showed and proved he was right.

It was just all those questions he aimed at her. Like he was fishing saying something without saying something. April didn't need the whole emotion feeling power to know it either. Her dad had always been protective of her since her mom passed after all. But? Trying to get her to meet new people? Spilt away from the guys? Heck it was like Casey didn't even coutn when it came to this odd need of his. Casey didn't count as normal people.

Not that she could aruge that. No one could.

She was so lost in thought she hand't even took notice that Casey had finally shown up either. HEr eyes not tracking the movment of his hand waving infront of her face, or calling out to her it took her far too many second to even notice his voice at all.

"You know who I am, don't you?"

"mmm" She blinked and looked at Casey a moment, then two and then by the third, she finally recognized him. Letting her brows furrow. "Yeah two hours late? What was it now? Oh don't tell me let me guess instead." April snipped a bit as she swatted his hand away to get out of her face.

"You were playing around at the ice rink again before you finally remembered?" April knew her tone was a bit to harsh, Casey was always late after all. "what fell on your face when your brain rattled in there you finally remembered?" She sighed catching it finally. "Sorry Casey, well not fully, I wish you would actually show up on time. I have to set aside a whole day for our study session because you never show up on time. So it makes it impossible to set up others on the same day as you." Casey seemed to sit down at least, seeming to be chill with her snapping. Cool as ice was just his way. Sometimes.

"Just stuff on my mind I shouldn't take it out on you for being late..like always." She does offer a smile, though. "So? What was it this time?" The distraction was needed beside,s they could get to the session after, and if Casey got his story out of his head first? It makes it easier to keep him focused.

"Papá why do you always make me take my hat off at the table?" Buddy huffed, as, once more, their favoured beanie was plucked off of their head, "It's just a hat, it's not hurting anyone."

| Muse interaction

Richard's eyes felt heavy listening to his mothers instructions. Annyoed but he kept his back stright and rested to the back of his seat. Lifting up each utensil when his mother asked for it. It was so simple he never understood why this was considered something to be done as training. You just worked in from the outermost fork, spoon or whatever as the courses came out. Zane on the other hand, was making this difficult. When ever thier mother's back was turned there he was messing around setting his utensils into the napkin sawn. Trying to make it look like it was holding the fork and knife scambling each time they fell over so the clatter wouldn't alert thier mother. Richard tried not to smile knowing that was want his older brother wanted. When he finally succed he proudly presented it as Richard had to slam his hand over beak and not laugh. His mother's neck snapping suddenly. Zane however came to rescuse and dropped a fork on to the ground followed by a a spoon and his swan. Earn him a annoyed click of thier mothers beak. About her kids poor manners.

Zane just let her go as their mother hollered for help with the mess. "You know that's bad manners." Was all Richard said earning a chuckle from his brother.

---------

There were sadly many thing Richard held on to and kept from his upbringing. Mostly the traits his parents nailed into his head as if he a kind of failure is he did not. Strive to be the best, strive to look and act the best as well. Pretty much strip himself of basic traits because Evans were meant to pretty much aim to be more.

Which just resulted in Richard being a perfectonist who easily lost it when things didn't go as he planned or wanted. Though being with Bailey did help with a lot of that. But well some habits? Well some habits die hard others? Stay ingined in you for years to comes. "Pollito, Mijo dinner's ready" Richard calls out as plates were set, and serving dishes were set down as well. Slightly adjusting the fork by Bailey's plate when he caught it being askew, a smile tugging at his beak. And some habits apparently lingered so deeply into his subconscious. Walking away from the table so he could grab glasses for their drinks to go with their meals.

When he saw Buddy heading to the tabel first, smile dropping the second he saw that beanie on thier head. Richard swore they bathed with the damn knitted cap on. Richard was quick to take hold of the very top of the hait so it would come right off as Buddy passed him. "No hats at the table."

"Papá why do you always make me take my hat off at the table?"

Richard continued on to the kitchen as he set Buddy's hat away in the usual place, so they could grab it after they were down eatting ignoring how Buddy huffed over the removal of thier hat once more.

"Because it's not attached to your skull so you will survive with out it." As his response, well Richard collected glasses for each of them. One of many pink ones for Bailey, and two tumbler glass one yellow for Buddy and one blue for himself.

"It's just a hat, it's not hurting anyone."

"I don't care if it's hurting anyone Buddy," rare time he wasn't calling them mijo as he usually would. "it's bad etiquette to have a hat at the table. It's rude to the host for one." Richard gose to explain as he grabs the three glasses in one arm then makes his way into the fridge for the pitcher of fresh juice he set in that morning to chill. "Removing your hat indoors is a respectful thing over keeping it on like you would if outside." Richard returned to the table, setting the glasses into each of their seats, and then the pitcher.

"But if the etiquette, and socail norms isn't enough. In the past, hats were not just a fashion item but also a symbol of social standing and a gesture of respect, especially when removing them in the presence of others. So there historical reason as well. And simply put."

Richard pulled out the chair that Bailey would be taking and then Buddy's, gentely guiding his son into thier seat before he smirked. "I. Said. So." He punchted each word clearly before making way to his own seat waiting for Bailey to finally join them at the table. Leaving out it was more something ingianed into him since childhood that he couldn't shake.

[BaileyRichard - Amnesia AU ;3; Love is stored in the grilled cheese ;3;]

"Thanks for the date Richard," Bailey spoke quietly, "I don't remember that motel, but, I know it's important to you so thanks for showing it to me..."

It had been a chance to respark their relationship, but sadly, it hadn't worked. Bailey felt awful, he could tell Richard was trying, and he did believe they were together. He saw the photos, he met their son, he believed them, truly he did.

He just...couldn't remember.

Seeing the defeated look on Richy's face, Bailey frowned, before offering a faint smile,

"Hey, how about I cook tonight?" Bailey asked, "I could make, uh..." Bailey paused for a moment, searching their empty head, before grinning, "Grilled cheese? I think I can make that."

| Muse interaction

Richard had been pouring all his free time into finding anything that would help give him some sort of help when it came to Bailey's current condition. He knew just well waiting was a big part but he was given some advice that could help, in the least just help Bailey feel some kind of sense of familiarity in such an unfamiliar well everything. Richard was okay with waiting it out just taking care of Bailey even if they forgot him.

Okay he wasn't okay with that, but he could push through it. Till Buddy got in his head. Though he still disagreed with his son's method to reignite that spark. But, reigniting the spark could still be a good idea?

Memory triggers, past events and familiar places. So Richard figured taking Bailey back to where it all began for them would be the perfect idea. Booking a reservation at the restaurant at the hotel they had checked into that night. Richard even had them walk so they would pass the street light were Bailey rear-ended him. Relive that day a bit not fully of course, but maybe bringing Bailey back would make something connect. Sure Bailey was drunk that night but..they remebered it enough to reconize Richard when coming across him by chance before.

Sadly, it seemed like Cupid wasn't on his side here. The night was a bust.

The drive back home was quiet. Richard was a grown adult, yet here he was falling under the same childish delusions of his very optimistic son. Richard felt a bit defeated he had to admit, not to give up of course not, Richard could never give up on Bailey he never really has. and of course he wouldn't now. But he would give up on stupid schemes like this. As he and Bailey made thier way inside the rooster breaking the slience first.

"Thanks for the date Richard,"

Richard didn't even look at Bailey as he set his keys by the door, it was just a nicety he knows. It was just this stupid sting on his own end. Richard was no more than a stranger to Bailey. Some random god level blessed apperance, in thier home claiming to be thier husband. Outside caring for Bailey was him staying in the house even a good idea?

"I don't remember that motel, but, I know it's important to you so thanks for showing it to me..."

"Right- to me." Richard repeated back, it used to be important to both of them. It was just a building he guesses nothing speical it's not like seeing the building would unlocked all those memories again. It just didn't feel like anything could at this point. Richard could live with that but didn't even seem like Bailey felt those romantic sparks between them like before. Richard couldn't help but wonder if even those were just a by chance happening? Richard felt low and for someone who elevated himself to Godly levels.

"Hey, how about I cook tonight?"

"And make what?" Flat tone he wished he could chide them about forgetting they couldn't cook. Richard just didn't have it in him right now but Bailey was still on the subject, maybe just trying to be nice. A change of subject even.

"I could make, uh..." Bailey paused for a moment, searching their empty head, before grinning, "Grilled cheese? I think I can make that."

Richard rose his head and turned to face the rooster since getting out of the car. That had to be a sign right? Bailey only bothered to learn to cook because they wanted to make something for Richard? Was this a shred of hope? "That..happens to be my favorite actually."

[Metronome Boys - they got the DLC xD]

Buddy had an appointment that day; early in the morning at that. They were grouchy and annoyed by it, because it meant getting up earlier than needed to travel to Duckburg. At least Charlie and Rhodes could come along, the three having planned to hang out for a few hours before heading back home.

Except, after Buddy's appointment, they were...off. Annoyed; grouchy and bristled to the point of clicking and grinding their beak together.

"It wasn't even anything..." Buddy huffed, "Just some check up and 'update' whatever that means..."

It was already strange that Buddy was annoyed in general; it just, wasn't who Buddy was. What was weirder though was the fact they kept stopping, dragging their talons over loose stones and rocks as if trying to find something.

Whenever Buddy was asked if they were okay, they just grumbled that they were fine. It was easier just to assume they were just tired.

However, it only got stranger, when Buddy began to pick up the stones and throw them at Charlie's and Rhodes ankles. They didn't explain it at all, just kept tossing the stones at them, eyes flickering between the stones they were throwing, and their boyfriends - expectantly. They kept clicking their beaks, waiting for their boyfriends to hook onto what was going on.

"Let's see, we could hit up the peir? Get some fish and fry baskets. There was a stand here I used to like a lot. So some good food for you and it's a awesome view of the shore at this time of day, so perfect for you. And there's an arcade that will be to sun dorps liking. Don't worry it's kind of dinky so Buddy will win easy. Or we play booth games? Might be better that way?" When Charlie looks his way Rhodes smiles, "I get the fact I got two majors hotties on each of my arms." Answering the unasked what dose Rhodes get for his idea of what todo.

Buddy, had to go see their 'doctor' and well seeing as Buddy is growing up they were able to go to said doctor with out thier dad's. Just needing a ride and going by car would be easier then Buddy using their Vespa to cross the bridge. So turning it into a 'boy's trip' seemed like a fun idea. Take buddy to the appointment and that would leave them with time to hang out in Duckberge.

"Speaking of our sunshine" Rhodes said when seeing Buddy offering a wave though with Charlie near by it was likely not needed to spot where they were at. "Hey we I decided we hit the pier theres an arcade there that you get get lost in we tuna gets his fish fill." Rhodes could have said 'we' decided but everyone of them would know so why lie? Though Buddy didn't 'light' up the way they usually would just a very unBuddy like nod given seeming okay with the idea at least? Rhodes crock a brow at that then moved over to them sliding an around around thier shoulders.

"Or we can hit the game booths and you can kick my ass at the water spot game, and you can just win me a prize." Again Buddy just seemed well not Buddy about it, even shruging Rhodes off with a clearly annoyed 'fine' given. Leaving Rhodes to quirk his beak and set his hands to his hips before looking to Charlie. Poiting towards thier boyfriend slightly telling them to try now. Of course Charlie is more direct and just asks about the appointment they had. Maybe something that was said got to Buddy? Rhodes could see it he hated going to the doctor himself he still was testing out new ones with his mom who was more on board with the trans deal.

"It wasn't even anything..."

Rhodes nothing the why they were clicking and grinding thier beak clearly something was up.

"Just some check up and 'update' whatever that means..."

Rhodes nodding watch as Buddy was near about digging thier nails into the rock. Ruining thier perfect mancure. Maybe they could grab some nail stuff on the way back and fix them later.

"You wanna go home instead?" He offered knowing Charlie would be more than happy to drive back even if it was just to take Buddy to the appointment. But Buddy insisted they were fine the lines in thier brow said otherwise wise though. Charlie far more to worry seemed unconvinced as was Rhodes. Though for him? It was more him being over Buddy's pissy mood. He rolled his eyes and lead the way. "Fine I saw we go still then." Maybe Buddy would cheer up once they got to the pier. Rhodes wasn't unaware Buddy was upset but it was clear Buddy didn't know why they were upset so making them talk? That wasn't going to help anyone right now. Rhodes willing to just let it slide because well it was Buddy if anyone was allowed to complain or be in a mood it was them. Till he felt something hit the side of hit foot, and then another looking down he spotted two rock and the thrid that soon followed.

He turned back around to find Buddy being the one tossing them, that beak gridning still going on as they threw another Rhodes watched it went towards Charlie instead of him this time. Eyeing the few rocks by thier own feet. When he felt another one he caught the way Buddy looked at them and back to Rhodes. Did he think Rhodes didn't notice? Frustration knitted up his brow as he glared at Buddy. "okay is this how were spending the day uh?" Rhodes asked bending down to grab a couple of the rocks before he stood back up "We gonna fight uh? Then fine let's go!" Rhodes states before tosses the rocks back toward's Buddy's own feet. "Fuck I swear when you get pissy you really get-" he was caught off by Buddy suddenly devoring his beak, finding he had a mouth full of the andorid. Passionate kiss or not, Rhodes grabbed for Buddy's hair and kissed them back just as roughly, lashing his tongue against Buddy's own as if they were fighting in the kiss. Rhodes stumbled slightly but planted his feet firmly as he gripped on to Buddy. Oh Rhodes had no idea what was going on nor did he even consider to think about it. He just claimed he was meeting Buddy's anger as he accept this kind of aruging over the verbal one he was expecting. They do always say don't let your oppent expect you next move? Rhodes couldn't say but he believe Buddy was dense enough to follow that logic and explain them making out like this.

[ducknotinarow]

Richard - Have you ever ... wished it was you that died, and not your brother?

| send my muse ‘have you evers’ and they have to answer truthfully!

Richard did normally work basically all the time, unless Bailey convinced him of the time off or something important came up. But, there was one day that was resevered for him to never work on. Zane’s death anniversay. Trying to work on the day it happened? Just never worked out well, it was getting easier thoiugh as time went on. Or maybe it was just easier because he wasn’t alone like before he had Bailey who would understand best how the grief could hit him on teh day of. Budd his son that gave him a chance to share memories of his late brother. Val who knew he needed at least this one day and always made sure everything was handled.

It was a da Richard was far more likely to spend time doing more of a hobby than anything for work. And one time Bailey wouldn’tbe upset that said time was spent on them at least. Richard turl was so greatful to have Bailey in his life. Thos elast few years being at home after losing his brother he wasn’t allowed to be upset despite the excuse. Told that everyone had a job todo ‘we don’t get sad we work through it’ and for years he did but he learned how to let himself not once he had Bailey in his life a reminder to just fucking breath.

Something he was doing now resting in the music room, Richard had began to keep a sketch book with him just allowing himself t draw out whatever mostly it was items he saw t work like coffee pots, grinders and such. Of course there were sketches of Bailey often in there. Bailey was always normaly around him after all. Some of Buddy and Sue as well. Right now? He was just sketching Mocha and Carmel sun bathing in the the rays of the warm sun light peering into the window right now.

Richard never might have rekindled his love for paper to pencli either he sometimes thought about. His mother wanted to make him learn an insterment but they just never took. But drawing and painting? He liked that it just wasn’t seen as a good hobby to have. Buying art was one thing making it however? Richard never full understood the mind set of his parents at times. And he was grateful for that over all. Richard reached for his mug finding it empty. "good time for break." He says looking over to the cats "And I'm sure you two would enjoy a catcuinno as well, of course you been hard at work after all." Richard says as he moved to stand up setting down his sketch book and penclies. Before making his way to the kitchen with his mug, Richard happened to catch the tail end of a conversation from Buddy's room.

"Dad could you just..." A loud frustraed sigh before the pause happened. Richard peer around the corner finding Rhodes in Buddy's room phone in hand as they dropped on to the floor. "Please call me back."

Richard stepped away and continued on his way, a bit of guilt from hearing a clearly private moment but one that Richard could understand all to well. As he made his way to the kitchen allowing their well in truth hide away a moment alone. Rhodes of course was a guest but also not a guest, after a pretty bad blow out with their dad Rhodes just needed a place to hide out at. Rhichard ould only imgaie what the kid was going through right now. If Richard parents had ever learn he liked men himself? Well it go about the same. Be told he was wrong that he needed to be perfect. Being gay likely didn't fall under the 'perfect' image they always tried pressing onto Richard after all. Instead he confessed to Zane, and regerted it because Zane started trying to be his wing man or just attempt to talk guys with Richard. His brother was so embarrassing at times. Yet it left Richard with a soft smile on his beak as he toyed with the silver class ring from his late brother.

Richard hear the sound of talons on the floor as he met Rhodes own gaze, as they young pegion was walking around rubbing at his neck. "oh uh sorry Mr. Evans-Alder"

Richard smiled and held out the mug Buddy picked out for Rhodes to them. "I'm not I have an excuse for how much coffee was today with out Bailey assuming I drank it all. Which I would have but now he can't whine about it." Richard expressed as Rhodes took the mug from him and seemed to savor the scent before taking a drink. Sometimes caffeine could be a nice comfort, help to lift a mood at least. Richard thought for a moment before he spoke up to the pigeon.

"It's painful and it may always be painful but eventually you learn to stop letting them hurt you." Rhodes paused and looked at Richard when he spoke just now.

"I won't lie parents have a great knack for cutting you deep, in a way not even your worse enemy ever will be able to. It takes a lot but if you let in enough of the good ones in your life? Well you may just learn that just because someone was meant to love and care for you. Dosen't mean you are wrong when they can't be what you needed them to be for you." Richard offers, after all it took about three or four decades for Richard to learn that himself.

Rhodes stood quite for a moment his eyes shone with fresh tears threatening to spill but he smiled hearing that. "Is it bad I wish he could though?" He asked a termble in his tone.

Richard shurged with a breathy painful sighing laugh "I'm I'm about half way through my fifties and I still wish for simllair, if anything I might when they are just names on a headstone." "Eh least then they can't ruin it by talking." Rhodes bitterly expressed but Richard did offer a laugh at the idea, somehow he felt his parents could will the environment to find a way. "..Thanks" Rhodes said softly almost like he wasn't even sure himself what the thanks was even for but it was clearly fully meant from how they voiced it sipping more of the coffee as if to make it out like it was for the drink. "Dose it still hurt?" Rhode brought himself to ask as Richard looked to Rhodes. Richard's eye widen for a moment when hearing the question. There was a clear plead in there. They just needed to know. In a sick sense both Richard and his brother did escape from his parents, Zane had kind of learned to get away but kept around for Richard. Maybe he would have lived if he hadn't done that. But, then Richard would have been stuck with all that pressure alone. Would Richard still be here? Zane was so good about making it seem like the crap from their parents held no effect but of course it did.

Yet Zane looked out for Richard tried to shield him.

Richard looked back at Rhodes reading the expression on their face. Their hair was still choppy and the bags under their eyes made it clear they hadn't gotten much sleep. At some point they were close to their dad after all. Richard was never close to either of his parents but if anyone could understand Rhodes in this moment? "Don't fear the pain, the benefits end up out weighing the cost in the end after all." Richard offered. Those benefits of course, might be different for Rhodes than they are for Richard.

"You know Bailey might be willing to help you with your hair." he tossed out trying to lighten things.

"Oh good I think I'd die going out in public to do that." Rhodes answered with, but it seemed like something Richard said helped. Richard hoped at least it would.

87 CaseyMikey - "You know who I am, don't you?"

| Send, "Wait, who are you?" for sender to get amnesia! Send, "You know who I am, don't you?" for receiver to get amnesia.

"And for the little dudette!" Mikey states happily as he sets down the little pizza for Summer smiling happily when she seemed to smile over the 'Summer size' pizza made just for her. Of course Summer was quite a surprise to see when Raphael brought her home. Donnie was really the only one not to welcoming to their little guest though.

And only him cause Von seemed to like Summer a lot herself. Summer was just such a quite kid though. Hardly ever voicing anything. Kind of reminded Mikey of Casey since the guy wasn't the most vocal unless it was about smacking someone with his bat. Mikey partly wondered if this was a result of homelife now with Summer around. Course though near by the littler house guest? Was Raphael.

Who seemed to have really taken a liking to the little human sitting near by smiling as he spoke to her. Summer seemed the most relaxed around him sometimes talking through his brother like now as Raphael told Mikey thanks for her. Before turning back to talk to her. Guess Raphael had a new time consuming matter, it used to be Casey but well.

Before he could finish his thoguht he had caught sight of the very masked manainc, for once not making himself known as he was peering into the kitchen. Mikey removed his apron and chef hat and made his way out of the kitchen. Well Casey was there for Summer most likely, but still gently ushered them away from the door way for now.

"Ya know after last time i'm lil Dudette would be okay with you just joining them. Or is it Raphael ya avoiding now?"

"You know who I am, don't you?"

Mikey should have expected the remark would offend them but he just rolled his eyes and gave a shake of his head. Casey really just being well stupid. Summer was his family and Rapheal near about worship the ground the gay stomped all over. Basically that was his family right there. If Von didn't succeed in kidnapping Summer at least. "yeah a chicken" Mikey risks saying, next to Raph though Mikey was maybe the only other turtle able to get away with some things when it came to Casey. They just shared a nice understanding between them.

Mikey walked up to the big guy and gently patted at their arm "Come one dude ya made a point to tell the lil dudette that ya wanted to be there for her now, and if anything Raph making that easier for you even." Mikey tries to point out. "Summer took a liking to him" Mikey didn't ask. He had some theory, Casey rejected her and Raphael in a sense took her in so it made sense why she was attached to his brother.

Even with Casey making amends with her. Summer still was picking Raph over Casey. Likely found him safer.

"Have you and Raph patched things up yet?" Mikey asks finally seemed obvious to him they havent but hey better to ask than to assume.
