Yeah, Casey Jr. He's - he's all right. He's been through a lot, like you.
pyrighteous: (gentle)

The future's that bad, huh.

From what he said, yeah. Whole world destroyed and taken over by the Kraang, and everyone barely holding on.

[ Hunter shivers at that. He can sure imagine THAT kind of setup... ]

The Boiling Isles might be like that too. Depending.

... I know I'm literally my own self doubts manifested, but. I hope for your sake, it isn't like that.

My world got invaded by an incredibly powerful alien who was reshaping the world before we escaped.

I ... hope it's not as bad, but it sure feels about that bad.
neonleon: (2044 - oh I'm dying)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still going to hope it wasn't as bad as what Case made the Kraang future sound like.
pyrighteous: (mumble)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2022-12-10 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah I. Think it's better than that but.

Anyway, we have a chance to fix it.

Yeah.

[He stares at the sky a little. Tired. His ability to keep this form together now that the purpose is over is getting more difficult to maintain.]

A ninja's greatest weapon. Hope.

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2022-12-10 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah. Yeah. I can keep that.

[ He looks over at OML with a small wince. Tries to flare the ninpo a little? He glows gray-gold. ]

And trust too.
neonleon: (2044 - smiling casual)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He sees that ninpo flare up even with the soft layer of blue with Hunter's.

Tries to flare up his own but it's quiet, subdued. Flickering more than anything.]

Yeah. Trust.
pyrighteous: (costume glance (s3))

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2022-12-10 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Still there. Still hanging in there. ]

... Can I hug you without getting infected?
neonleon: (2044 - don't look at the blood lmao)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know.

I mean, I'd love to say yeah, but - that guy and you... I-i dunno.

[He's incapable of trusting his own judgement here. He doesn't want Hunter hurt.]

[ Hunter doesn't want to BE hurt. He doesn't want to risk Belos getting into his system again.

But ... this seems important enough to risk. He takes in a deep breath, summoning all of his trust - every bit of the ninpo he thinks he can access, including that layer of blue protection - and leans in to wrap his arms around the old turtle. ]

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh-

That hug is warm, enough to almost make him cry. He can't really hug back with the frozen arm and he's hesitant with the goop arm. But he'll bury his face against Hunter's shoulder while it's there.]
pyrighteous: (absent family)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2022-12-10 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's okay. Hunter will just hold him tightly, leaning his head against Leo's. Better to keep that goop arm away in this context. ]

We're coming to rescue you, Leo. Hang in there just a little longer.
neonleon: (2044 - lookit this photograph)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He doesn't know. Belos, he-

[Whatever energy he had is just draining out of him quickly.]

He's kept him closed off. Leo doesn't know you're coming.

[ Titan. Hunter sucks in a horrified little breath at that and clings harder. ]

He must think we've completely abandoned him. It's been too long.
neonleon: (2044 - living is a curse)

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[FORCED WARMTH AND COMFORT... Weird for this version of Leonardo.]

I don't know how it's going I just... Know when the ninpo cut off, he gave up.

That was three days ago. That - that's way too long, I was going crazy in my head after just a couple of hours of Belos being in control, I -
neonleon: (2044 - come lookit this)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Three days...

[It feels like so much longer, like a month and a half has passed. But Leonardo just watches Hunter before gently pointing at the layer of blue.]

He's still trying to help you though.
pyrighteous: (round the corner)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2022-12-10 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hunter pulls back just enough to look down at himself. ]

Yeah. He - he is, isn't he? I hope that's a good sign.
neonleon: (2044 - lemme see if I have change)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
He's trying. I wish I could tell you what condition he's in.

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2022-12-10 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
... Right. You have no idea.

[ He swipes at his face. ]

Will you be okay once we leave?
neonleon: (2044 - serious talking)

Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC

[personal profile] neonleon 2022-12-10 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be fine. Probably?

[It's hard for a manifestation of self-doubt to have a lot of faith in himself.]
