[ Yeah, Hunter fumbles the door open for them. Trying to blink through his own exhaustion. ]

M. Main room. Just ... put me on a couch.

[neonleon]

[Well Don's got that on lock, so Leo will just? Follow for now, keeping an eye on Hunter and sending ninpo through as needed.]

[othellovonryan]

Got it.

[Going to go deposit Hunter and Pari gets alerted, timey wimey handwavey nonsense.]

[May got just]

[Hover near Leo while That Gets Sorted, sometimes you need to vibe near a brother for stress relief.]

[pyrighteous]

[ YEP. In an alternate timeline, Pari has installed a philosopher's stone in fact; there's a strange, crawling flicker as those timelines reemerge, and the crystal and ninpo they placed inside of him intertwines itself with Pari's work. Small streaks of violet and blue pulse gently at the spot where a heart would be under normal circumstances.

Slowly, carefully, Hunter sits up. Exhausted, still, but ... breathing. Recovering. He looks over at the two turtles. ]

Leo? Donnie?

[neonleon]

[Neat TM.

Leo's been chillin but perks up when Hunter does.]

Hey! ... You're looking uuhh... Less full of holes.

[othellovonryan]

[Oh]

[That was]

[Weird]

[It kind of makes his arms ache in a weird way, rolling his wrists. Was it a magic thing?]

[Whatever that was, its on the backburner when Hunter calls out to them.]

Hunter! [He moves over to him.] How are you faring?

[pyrighteous]

... I feel awful.

[ But he manages a weak smile. ]

But also less full of holes.

[neonleon]

Good.

[Genuine relief there. Just... Watching.]

I really hope we never have to do anything like that again.

[othellovonryan]

Relieved sigh. [As he sighs.]

[He settles down beside the couch.]

I as well. Why do so many villains have to be so ooey gooey? What happened to clinically sterile motifs?

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter gently lies back down on the couch. He is stable but exhausted. ]

Dunno. I think - I think Belos just lost his shape over the centuries because he ate too many palismen souls. No idea what’s up with yours.

[neonleon]

The weird ooze stuff doesn't really help much.

[Nothin about Krang though. He just assumes 'aliens' covers it.]

[othellovonryan]

Ugh. It's the worst. I'm already in high stress situations, why assault my sense of touch too? [He sighs, leaning his head against the armrest of the couch as he kneeks beside the couch.]

[He gestures at Leo to come closer.]

[pyrighteous]

He’s just that much of a jerk?

[ Hunter curls up his legs to give them space. ]

[neonleon]

Definitely was a jerk.

[What what does brother want, what is it, coming over.]

[othellovonryan]

An absolute jerk.

[Once Leo is closer.] My tactility is at it's limit and he deserves more hugs.

[pyrighteous]

I - could use a hug. Yeah. If you want it.

[neonleon]

[Well that's all he needs. Hunter, you're getting a hug from THE touchy turtle, good and tight.]

[othellovonryan]

[Mission success. He's just gonna lean against the couch. Nearby and vibing because he just had too many Kraang flashbacks.]

I'm gonna need to introduce you to the spidershell work around.

But until then, Leo is a suitable stand in.

[pyrighteous]

[ OKAY OKAY turtle hugs. He did ask for this. Hunter frankly clings back, trying not to immediately cry. ]

S-spidershell?

[neonleon]

'Stand-in'???

[He's still hugging Hunter as tight as he feels comfortable doing but he is MAKING A FACE AT HIS BROTHER.]

Excuse you, I am WAY better than any 'stand-in' for a HUG. The only one who gives better hugs than me is Raph and that's only because he's like. Three times our size.

[othellovonryan]

[Hmmm, has he used it around Hunter? Potentially not.]

The spider shell is a variation of my battleshell that has multiple arms for utility and sometimes combat uses. Like the jet pack is a variation. The spider shell is also good for affectionate gestures when I'm....not. [Good for it.]

Actually, it depends what kind of hug someone is looking for. You, Raph, and Mikey all have different hug styles that have vastly different affects. Who is best depends on what a person is looking for.

[he had silently decided to not pick a fight too much with Leo for the next few days.]

[But it's Right There.]

For example, when you are doing full body hugs, it is very present all over without the weighted blanket feel of Raph so it comes across as overwhelmingly affectionate than comforting and I needed a stand in for affectionate with Hunter.

[pyrighteous]

.........

[ Hunter just. Blinks from where he's currently engaged in Leonardo hug. ]

I mean - I'm glad you have options?

[neonleon]

[Quietly to Hunter:] Oh, the options do not matter.

[Directed at Donnie even louder:] Not when I'm THE BEST hugger in the family! Prison dimension did NOT take that from me!

[othellovonryan]

The options do matter and they're quite nice. There is a reason I let Mikey hug me more often than you and Raph. He has the perfect mix of affectionate, firm, but not heavy, and I swear he has the timing down to a science where I can tolerate it.

Raph is best when I want to world to quiet down but I haven't been overstimulated because he is a living weighted blanket and if you have not experienced those Hunter, you should. Raph is the kind where you are just content to breathe for a while.

And you are best when there is a need for an intense level of affection after a lot of intense negative emotions, thus why you're the perfect stand in for Hunter, but it can be overwhelming on a normal day, but you do the half hugs which are far more akin to Angelo's perfected hugs for tolerability.

[Delivered like it is the most stone cold and dull facts.]

[pyrighteous]

I ... I had no idea there were so many types of hugs? Is it possible to learn this power??
