Fourth Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

The problem with being a turtle who owned a giant mascot head and also made a living with it was that every now and again, one had to practice. Rehearsal, really.

The problem with having a giant mascot head to rehearse in was that there was hardly enough room in a dorm room to do so.

So, this evening, Mikey had taken it upon himself infiltrate the common room in true ninja manner in order to lay out several different kinds of pizza, including a few of his personal favorites (the ravioli and caramel came highly recommended), in case anyone wanted to have some sort of munchies while observing him prancing about. The show promised to be good. Where else could one witness a large turtle, dressed as a turtle, making up impromptu party songs and waving about a set of large, foamy nunchucks?


('Tis a common room! 'Tis commonly open!)

Adam wandered into the common room in search of food, and stopped short at what he saw.

"Wow."

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Michelangelo Cowabunga Carl waved a hand by way of greeting as he pranced up to the dude who had just entered the room, grabbing a box of moddable pizza on the way.

"Duuuude, hello! And welcome to the show!
It's party time and Cowabunga Carl's ready to go!"

... It had some gaping rhythm issues. He'd iron those out later.

Adam waved back, smiling in an amused manner. It looked like Michelangelo and it sounded kind of like him, so Adam had to assume it was him.

"Uh, hey," he replied. "Thanks." Yes, he was trying so very hard not to laugh.

Pride was not an issue here, fortunately. Mikey lived to entertain, and if this was the sort of party that he could organize on a quiet Monday evening, then he was going to make the best of it.

"Come on Adam, take a seat,
Enjoy some pizza, it's a treat!
We've got pepperoni, it's sublime,
And did I mention, Party Time?"

Because, dude. Party. He had to swing his foamy 'chucks in the air a few times to emphasize this point.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

This time Adam did laugh, but for a short while and it was definitely not at Michelangelo.

"Awesome rhyme," he grinned, meaning it. Taking a slice of pizza, he nodded his thanks and grabbed a drink, sitting down on the couch.

Brooke had planned on going out tonight, seeing what else there was to do in town. She'd gotten herself dressed up and even was wearing her necklace with the "B" pendant to try and avoid mixups tonight. She had to stop on her way down when she heard something from the common room-

And that left her staring. Poor thing still hadn't gotten much of a taste of the weird yet.

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Dude, a newbie! Party time!
Forgive me for this awful rhyme?"

Michelangelo Cowabunga Carl bounded up to the girl in the doorway to wave hello, shake a hand, wave about a foamy nunchuck, and offer her some peanut butter and pesto pizza. Mostly all at once.

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke continued staring for a moment, and finally managed, "Really?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Really, dudette, welcome aboard!
Help yourself to the pizza, there's a big... horde."

...

"Of. It."

Mikey wasn't always the best at rhyming.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Okay," Brooke said, settling for what she thought was the obvious question, which was, "Why?"

This was as close to speechless as she usually got.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam noticed the new person and waved slightly. Yeah, he'd stared too when he first entered the common room.

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke gave a sort of weak wave back, and looked at him as if asking if he was seeing what she was.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam laughed and nodded, letting her know that yes, he was seeing what she was seeing and no, she wasn't hallucinating.

Hoshi was hungry. The protein resequencer still wasn't giving her any solid food, so she took the easy route and wandered down to the common room to see if there was anything to eat.

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Pizza, dudette, party hard!
I'm Cowabunga Carl, here's my card!"

He presented both a box of pizza and a business card. He did birthday parties, after all.

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Um, thanks," said Hoshi, taking both. "What kind of pizza is this?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Asparagus and cinnamon, with a dash of rice!
If you plug your nose while eating it, it's really kinda nice!"

He was getting better at rhyming! Mikey had to bounce some more in celebration of this achievement!

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Food was the best lure there was. Even if the combinations were bizarre, the pizza smelled fantastic, and Demyx was hungry. "...Free food?" he asked hopefully, eyeing the giant, foam-headed turtle.

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Totally free, man, grab some food!
Whoa, you look like a party dude!"

He was running out of words that rhymed with dude. This was an issue. He'd have to break out a thesaurus later, or something.

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"...It's a rhyming turtle," Demyx said, somewhat stunned. "A rhyming turtle. You're not a Heartless, are you??" Because man, he really didn't want to fight. He was bad at that.

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Dude, my heart's as big as any," ... What rhymed with any? "For saying that, you... owe me a penny."

....

"Okay, man. Nah, you don't."

Rikku peered in uncertainly, and then broke into a huge grin. "Mikey!?!"

He was about to get tackleglomped in a major sort of way, unless he used his ninja evasion skills.

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Mikey was used to surviving tackleglompings while he was wearing his giant head. It was his job, after all.

"Dudette!!!" The head was coming off. He had co-tackleglompings to deliver, here. "How you been, Rikku!?"

[the_merriest]

"You're back!" she bounced. "I didn't know you were coming back! You've been gone for ages! How are you!?!?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Mikey was all about the bouncing, too!

"I'm totally back! Kinda broke the t.v. at home. Uh. Again? So Splinter sent me back here to work off some excess energy, or something." He scratched his head thoughtfully, then shrugged. "How've you been, dudette?! It's been, like, totally forever and stuff!"
