[None tentacles left beef, my dude.

But the platform does seem to stabilize the figure at least, even if it looks like it's leaning into falling over. But it's stable.]</small.

Nardo, I swear to the Pizza Supreme in the Sky, I'm going to make this sappy if you test me-

[Its stable for now, B U T]

[How poseable are these figures?]

[Unfortunately, not very. Meant to be seen and not played with but at least they're nice?

No tentacles here though. It's probably fine.]

[SUS]

[Yeah, okay, we are going to expand out that base for the figure. We're doing a WHOLE SCENE, everyone gets to be part of the same base with Leo at the center. Try to fall over with all those counterweights of support NOW, Action Leo.]

[DON ARE YOU GOOD??? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS?

Nah, the figures all stick where he puts them. Granted, they're still annoyed and disappointed, frustrated as when Donnie steps back, all eyes seem to be on Leonardo in the center now.]

[DONNIE HASN'T BEEN GOOD SINCE THE DEATH MAZE.]

[Ugh, hate that too.]

[WHAT IF I SAY FUCK YOUR POSEABILITY.]

[WHAT IF I JUST THROW ALL THE TOYS INTO A TURTLEPILE, ARE YOU STILL JUDGEY FUCKS ACTION FIGURES???]

[yeah sorry. It's just how they're sculpted. They can't help it.

The pile is very turtley though.]

[TURTLEPILE WILL JUST HAVE TO DO.]

[Adjust the base to keep the pile together. Make some walls around the shell so SOMEONE will just STAY WITH HIS FAMILY.]

[Wow Donnie. Are you trying to say something here? But it's easy to build the little scene, walls around the five (six? seven including case jr?) of them to settle into.]

[Listen]

[Yes]

[He will include Junior. That elevator talk put a lot into perspective, but there is clearly an emotional connection there he will honor.]

[So brothers, dad, April, and the Jones.]

[...Draxum can hang out at like.]

[To the side somewhere.]

[Listen, Draxum is on thin fucking ice, he can join the mental turtlepiles after he's been in a real one.]

[This whole time I was sure my family needed me, but the truth is I need them.

That was the sentiment he reiterated in that Kraang focused comic. A sentiment repeated throughout his stories when he's left alone. It's a feeling that resonates even amongst these figures, all of them standing on their own but Leonardo not able to stand without their supporting him.

What's next for the purple one?]

[...there is paint, yes? Is there blank paper anywhere?]

[You know what

why not

he picked up enough odd hobbies, he's gotta be able to make the BEST scenes for his mental action scenes. There's boxes of paper around in the pile of mess, sure.]

[Yes, good, 'real' materials to work with.]

[He's grabbing paper, and paints.]

[And he's not as artistic as Mikey, but its not Wholly Beyond Him.]

[Time for him to make a few pictures. They're not overly complex, more crisp lines, but at least they convey the scene in his mind.]

[The first is Raph on the bridge in the Kraang ship, free of the Kraang goop, a blue portal in front of him.]

[The next is how proud Mikey looks with Hot Soup: The Game, playing with Leo.]

[The third is Leo and Donnie when they were kids, curled up in one of Donnie's usual quiet spots.]

[At the bottom of the page. 'Family is a two way street.' Its been a sentence he's told Hunter on repeat here, but maybe Leo could do with hearing the sentiment himself. Maybe what's obvious to him isn't the same for others.]

[Once its dried, he's going to slot the paper in with the comics.]

[Look at that!

You made a whole scene, Donnie. But it gets tucked away in with the comics, no worse for wear.]

[Arts and crafts to do]

[Something]

[Metaphors and all that]

[He thinks]

[Ugh]

[What are these less defined figures]

[The less defined figures are varied in size, shape. They haven't even finished being sculpted yet, looking like vague blobs of plastic and color. One longer one that looks like it has an animal face and many legs half-finished, a few smaller lithe figures. A few taller human shaped figures. One humanoid with what look like two large bulging lumps on the back.

The most notable thing about them is each has a single individual line of color, like someone marking an inventory. Purple, blue, only one of brown, one green.]

[Yeah, that tracks. ANY JUDGEY EYES HERE.]

Edited 2022-12-05 11:07 (UTC)

[MAYBE GRAY AND NOT BROWN. WHO KNOWS.

But no, there are no judgey eyes. The faces aren't defined at all yet. They're all still in the barely sculpted stage.]

[Hm, fair that.]

[He will check the Gray one and the one that is Probably Eve, just to see how they're going.]

[Still undefined. Looks like he hasn't had much chance to really be around them and form the sculps much yet.]

[Hmm]

[He's not gonna mess with those. Leo didn't mess with him getting friends he shouldn't mess with his.]

[Time to investigate more of the room.]

[There were tentacles under the bed. Gonna look under there to see if there's more secrets with a light.]

[Those same black tentacles hide from the light - but there's nothing. The underside of the bed is empty. Almost like Leonardo barely uses the thing even.]

[Leo pls.]

[Can he see the source of those black tentacles?]

[Not really. They disappear as soon as the light is on them. Looks like a no go on this corner.

But the little blue light from the right tunnel blips again just to Donnie's right before it's gone again.]
