Kraken Campfire, Later Tuesday Night

[the_merriest]

Rikku hoped it wasn't too dark that people wouldn't be able to see that she now had purple hair.

Aly was on her short list of Favorite Teachers Ever.

She hoped the Kraken bathroom had recovered from any possible dye-related mishaps.

Rikku sat in front of the campfire, bouncing to herself. Ready to chat the ear off anybody and everybody who dropped by.

"Duuude, Raph!" Mikey bounced from foot to foot and waved a giddy hello. "Long time, bro! Isn't this place awesome?"

[turtle-toughguy.livejournal.com]

Raph decided to dodge the question. "Hey Mikey, heard you got detention for a...what was it? Naked mutiny?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Raph was very good at question-dodging.
Mostly because this was Mikey, really.
"Dude! It was the most radical thing ever! A buncha' dudes and some chicks and I totally put stuff all over what was left of the principal's office! There were ponies and kittens and silly sting and naked and mutiny-ness and, uh... stuff! Dude, too bad you missed it, man!" Michelangelo seemed rather proud of himself. "I got to use the silly string, dude."

"Next time you're just gonna have to come get me." Only Raph would probably be unable to be found as usual. "You planning on running around with naked people as a regular thing? If you are, we'd better leave that part out when we tell Splinter what's going on."

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Well, they weren't all entirely naked, bro," was the best that Mikey could think of in his defense. "And we were totally fighting the man, man!"

[turtle-toughguy.livejournal.com]

"The man? I thought the Principal was the woman."

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Uh." Mikey considered that for a moment. Either the dude with the flaming head was totally awesome at hiding his boobies, or the hamsters were not running on the little wheels in his brain tonight. "We fought the man!"
That much was correct, at least!


This is me, facepalming at myself. Omg.

"The guy with the fire hair? He doesn't know much about style, does he?" Like Raph could talk.

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Dude, he wears a dress," came the reply in a hushed tone.

[turtle-toughguy.livejournal.com]

"Not even a good one. I saw the holes in it when he was walking by. So what'd you do to him?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Silly string?" Mikey seemed pretty proud of that. "Really, really pink silly string. And there was a pretty princess movie with commentary playing in Spanish with French subs, ro something. And, you know those really creepy little kid statues with the huge eyes?"

[turtle-toughguy.livejournal.com]

"Like the one you wanted to bring home when we were eight and it disappeared?"

Raph had nothing to do with that. Really.

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"It had those big, soulful eyes, man. And someone had just thrown it out. In the garbage! I had to rescue it!"
Mikey was quite possibly nurturing the fantasy that the little figurine had run off to be with more of its own kind, in a merry land full of puffy bunnies and tiny winged unicorns.
He had quite possibly been nurturing this fantast since he was eight and it had disappeared.

"What about the ones you sacrificed to the Vice Principal?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Mikey stared long and hard at Raphael.
...
And then, finally, he spoke, looking somewhat disturbed.
"Sacrificed, bro? I seriously thought that they were, like, a gift."

[turtle-toughguy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, well, when you put it like that," he waved a hand. "But I were you, I'd check on 'em, make sure he didn't set 'em on fire or nothing."
