Fourth Floor Common Room, Friday Afternoon

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Michelangelo had a pillowfort. It was a good pillowfort. It was a grand pillowfort. It was his pillowfort and he was not moving anywhere for anyone.

Really, he had decided to fight the man last night and had snuck into the common room late at night using great ninja prowess (Splinter would have been proud) to build it. He was going to take it apart again, but after hearing today's insane-lady announcement?

"I hereby declare this pillow fort to be Mutant Ninja Cabin, and dudes, I'm not movin' out for anything!"

It was not the largest illegal pillow-based cabin in the world, but turtles had staying power, and if anyone wanted to show up for hugs, or perhaps to try to move in with him, he wasn't going to complain. Bonus points if you were female, just because testing his limits was the whole idea here.

(Common room and pillowfort open- I'll be around for a couple of hours, feel free to gawk and protest, or cheer Mikey on as you see fit.)

Bridge was, as it happens, looking for his fake little sibling, intending to do a bit of a catch-up with him and see how things were going. And so he pokes his head into the common room and sees a fort. And a Mikey. Awesome.

"Dude!"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Duuuude!" Mikey waved hello from the front door of Mutant Ninja. He needed a campfire, he realized, but he'd tackle that one all in good time. "Long time no see, bro!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I was totally just looking for you, dude. And then I found you! And a pillowfort cabin!" He looks at it thoughtfully. "Want a cabin roommate?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Dude, my cabin totally needs a roomie," Mikey agreed. "The more the merrier! I was just pondering how to get a campfire in here without, you know, burning the place down, but we can work out alcove spaces in the mighty cabin Mutant Ninja instead, totally."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," Bridge says, "though technically I've only got the mutant part and not the ninja... but I like the colour green and I *know* a lot of ninjas?" he considers the campfire problem carefully. "We could always take the microwave from the kitchen and a really, really long extension cord? It wouldn't be exactly the same, but it'd be a fire in spirit, and like you said, avoiding burning the place down is a good idea."

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"I'm totally not really a Keroppi... Curupoopoo... Pikachu... whatever, so I don't think it matters too much if you're really a ninja," Mikey decided. "This cabin promotes good will toward everyone, and hugging, and-- Oh, microwave! We could totally get, like, microwave pizzas and stuff, dude. I like your brain."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Dude, I will be *right back*. Don't go anywhere!"

And Bridge runs off back to his room to grab the longest extension cord he can find, and then reappears in the common room and hauls the microwave over to the "door" of the cabin before plugging it in. "Microwave pizzas. And also? S'mores ingredients. Because it is not a campfire without s'mores."

"Hey Bridge," Charlie said on her way through. "Long time no see."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey Charlie!" Bridge waves from his spot in front of the microwave-campfire.

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie giggled at the microwave, reminded of playing fort when she was little, and said, "You guys need a little fridge. Or an ice chest! For drinks."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ice chest would be more in line with the camping experience," Bridge says solemnly. Let's ignore the fact that he's using a microwave for a campfire. "Pizza?"

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Oooo, definitely!" Charlie said, putting her bag down to crawl over to the entrance of Mutant Ninja Cabin. "What kind? Not that I care, honestly."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Your choice, fair cabinmate, is between Cheese, Pepperoni, and... Everything."

Charlie had her sunglasses on and a huge beach bag over her shoulder, but had to stop and blink on her way past the Common Room. "Mikey? What's this?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Mutant Ninja Cabin," Mikey chirped with a grin and a wave. He seemed to be in a rather good mood. Anarchy, he supposed, was supposed to feel exhilirating. "It was just too disappointing to hear that we weren't going back to the cabins, so I totally built my own, see?" He motioned to the pillow fort, complete with microwave campfire. "Now accepting new residents!"

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie grinned. "Awesome! Are you going to stay here overnight? I was so bummed that we weren't moving back to the cabins." She perched on the edge of the couch and pushed her sunglasses up. "It needs a flag, maybe?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"With our state-of-the-art campfire and reinforced pillow walls, dudette, I'm gonna stay here as long as I can." The turtle was quite impressed and offered her a wink. "I think a flag would totally do an awesome job making that point, dudette. Radical idea!"

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"It's safe from the elements, original, and comfy!" Charlie commented. "Hmm. Mutant ninja turtle cabin, maybe put that on the flag?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"I must say, it's the most practical cabin to date," Mikey agreed. "Is there a piece of paper or some cloth or something floating around that we could make a flag out of?"

A fuzzy bunny hopped into the common room on the hunt for something crunchy. John wasn't dealing so well with relying on others for food, despite Andrew's excellent care.

[ooc: am around for a while and the bunny's presence was requested by the loverly girlzippo]

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie had just finished drawing the Mutant Ninja Cabin Flag when she looked up to see the bunny. "Awwwww! Hi, cutie. Did you get loose from your room?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Sadly, the bunny had no way of communicating that he was not a bunny. He hopped toward Charlie, thinking he'd at least get a scratch behind his long ears.

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie scratched under his chin, petted his nose, then scratched behind his ears. "You're very pretty. But you should avoid all the cats and dogs people have around here," she said, a little worried. "Are you hungry, I wonder? I could get you some carrots."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

The bunny leaned into all the scratching. Being a bunny made John crave the crunchy foods and he hoped she was going to get him a carrot. He hadn't thought as far as opening the refrigerator when he'd gone food hunting.

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Stay right there," Charlie said, going over to the fridge, and retrieving a bag of mini-carrots. She sat back down and held out one to him. "Hmm. I wonder who you belong to." She frowned. "Are you a normal bunny? One thump for no. Ignore me or two thumps for yes."
