[...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.]

[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.]

[Huuuuh. There it is again.]

[Trying. To not run off on Raph, but noted.]

[Check the top of the bed. Anything hidden in the sheets and pillows?]

[As Donnie starts digging through the blankets, there's a thunk of plastic and metal, and Leo's cell phone lights up from the motion before the screen darkens again.]

[Time to pick up the cell phone and see how it's operating.]

[It's a little banged up, but it's got the spirit. Text messages, and a lot loooot of photos in the camera reel.

That battery's getting pretty low though. About 5%.]

[oh, we can fix that. Battery charger and cable GET. Plugging it in.]

[It's got a little while to charge. But it at least won't just turn off in his hands now!]

[Time to look over his texts.]

[The top of the text roll is about on par for them. Asking what someone wants him to bring on his way home, fighting over where someone left something of someone else's.

Scrolling down further though, it becomes texts only Leo is sending. No responses received from them.

Raph? How do I do this?

Mikey could I get some help

Donnie stop saying that

Guys?

Guys

Please

I can't do this

Guys?]

[...damn you non-straight forward cues of needing something.]

...

[Adds to the conversation?]

'This is Donnie. What did I say?'

[For an agonizing moment, there isn't any activity.

And then the universal tech symbol of 'user is typing'.

And typing.

And typing.

Until it finally stops and disappears.]

Still Donnie.

I'm trying to understand, Nardo. You know I miss things when it comes to people. If I'm being cruel unintentionally, I want to know.
