Ninja Turtles - 2042
 

Background: It's 2042, mutants and non-humans are a recognized (although not totally accepted) minority. The Turtles have been separated for thirty years, since the death of their sensei, when they split to go their separate ways.

***

It was raining when exited his motel room. Great.

It had taken Leo thirty years to get this close to catching the assassin who had killed his sensei Splinter, and he wasn't about to lose the trail now, not to a little bad weather. He lifted his collar up and headed out. She had always managed to stay one step ahead of him, always. Now would be different, she was slowing down, tiring. They both knew that the chase was coming to an end.

Leo thought back on that day, when a single ninja infiltrated the lair. It was a great battle, but Splinter had been killed by a tainted shuriken. Leo swore to avenge Splinter's death, and had left to go after the assassin right after the funeral. He hadn't had much contact with his brothers or friends since then, but he had his ways of keeping track of them.

Across town, a woman stepped out of a taxi in front of a lavish hotel and handed the driver the fee, plus a large tip. She smiled at the doorman and headed straight for her penthouse room. She removed her jacket and hat and made herself a cup of tea.

Thirty years, she mused as she stared out her window into the storm. It'll be nice to see you again, Leonardo.

(( oo geez... it's already started!! *runs off again to plot* ))

Raphael sat on the couch in the lobby of the cheap Hotel, his coats collar pulled up and his fedora covering his face. Even now that the majority of the city knew about mutants, he still didn't like the stares and looks people often gave him. "Hey you got a staring problem?" he pointed a thick green accusing finger at the man in the information desk who was staring him down. "Uhhhh.....n....no.....s...sir!" the man stuttered and quickly buried his face back in his newspaper. Raphael glanced at the clock and shook his head. "D*mn!"

Raphael hadn"t changed much sense Master Splinter had died, he was still his old angry self, maybe even a little worse than usual. He hadn't had much contact with his other brothers, especially with Leonardo, but he knew what his brother had gone to do. Raph would have tagged along, he wanted the assassin dead as much as Leo did, but he knew what Leo would say. For the first time in Raph's life he listened to what Leo had said, or rather what he knew he would have said.

Raphael looked angrily at the clock once more, then sat back in the couch trying to calm himself down

((OCC: hope this is good :wink: !))

*phases in a bit on the seat next to the turtle, just so that her head can be seen* You really should learn to curb that tongue, Raphael. I'm surprised you're still alive with a mouth like that.

*38 yawns, still wondering why she still keeps contact with this mutant after all these years*

Raphael looked at 38 "You wanna be quiet for I sit on you squirt?" he teased. Raph had never been one who could come right out and say what he was really feeling, and even though he often teased 38 and offended her with his bad language, he was grateful for her companionship and grateful she had stuck around as long as she had.

Raphael looked back at the clock "shhhhhi....." he glanced at 38 "shoot!" Raph leaned back into the couch pulling his fedora farther down on his face.

*flicks out her tongue, her way of smiling* Well, well. Maybe there's hope for you yet, Raphael.

*looks around* Though I still say you need some lessons in taste education. This place is worse than the last one you chose.

Cory was planning on meeting one of his good buddy's he hadn't seen since.......god only knows when. Cory walked in to the lobby of the cheap hotel and just in time to see the man stuttering to Raphael and Cory laughed to him self. "He still has it in him!" Cory read the mans, thoughts something he hadn't dun in a long time "God, this things appear all over this city now days!" Cory looked at the man "what did you say??" the man looked at him as if he was psycho. Cory simply replied "I can read minds and I heard what you thought, So now I'm warning you that either you take it back you are in deep sh*t!" he reached for his shot gun. The man look at Cory and about had a heart attack. "I am Sorry sir, I will never think bad about your kind again!" Cory walked over to Raph "Hey buddy what's up??" he put his hand up so Raph could give him a high five/four.

Raphael heard a familiar male voice and raised his head "Yo, yo Cory, what's been happening?" he stood and gave Cory a high five/four. "Uhhh.....not that it's any of my business Co-cheese, but you seem a little pis.......::looks at 38::.....angry tonight." Raphael walked back over to the couch "Look 38 I brought one of my foul mouthed friends for a visit." Raph nodded to Cory "This is Cory.....::looks at Cory & points to 38::....and this is 38." Raph bent a little to Cory and whispered "38 don't like foul language, so keep it to a min. ok?"

*nods politely* Hello Cory.

*looks up at Raphael* Look, I'm going out for a bite. You want me to bring back anything?

looks at the cute little "thing god it is so nice" he said would u mind bring me back something any thing?? :-?

(( Oh, I know what I'll do. For this one, CyDon will be the primarly player with Dyana as my secondary... and then in the other, Dyana will be the primary char, and CyDon with be secondary. ))

*runs off to plot some more*

*nods* If I can carry it, I'll bring you something. I'm going out to a get a bagel myself.

Enter Caitlyn in a black leather trench coat and is donning a black felt cowboy hat with silver on the band, holding onto the handle of a rolling suitcase. The guy behind the desk looks quizzingly upon the red haired beauty then realizes she isn't totally human, but Felina.

Caitlyn waves. "Hey Raph, who you stalking?" she goes up to the counter.
"Hey handsome, I'm in town for a few days, you have any rooms left?"

"Y...Yes."

"Oh please, don't tell me your afraid of aHuman/Felinaman." she rolls her eyes.

The desk clerk doesn't say anything and tosses her the key to the room.

Before she runs up the stairs, she bends close to Raph's ear.
"I smell danger."

*flicks her tongue* Um, what was that about?

Raphael looked at 38 "you bring something to eat as long as it doesn't have six legs and antennas."

Raphael though about what Caitlyn had said there is always danger, if i'm there he thought to himself

He looked at 38 "It was nothin don't worry yourself there squirt!"

lol raph that is good yeah plz 38 nothing insecty not a word i know looks at raph "so who r we suppose to be meetign this time?" "is it somethign we have to clean up?" "tell me plz" cory jumped like a little dog waiting the bisket (dolly cuz dolly)

*snorts* You know that the only time I bring you something with more legs than you is when you make me mad. At the moment, you're on my good side. But I'll be back soon. If you go anywhere before I get back, I'll catch up.

*disappears completely and the sound of claws is heard clicking over the floor*

Peter O'Donnell stepped out of the taxi after giving the driver a generous tip. He smoothed his tie and long wool coat out a bit before the holograph of his pleasant human face faded away to his clunky, cybernetic one. The face of his former self, Donatello. Of course, he'd rather stay at an nicer hotel with far better accomodations... but it seems many people in this city still suffer from "humans only" predjudices.

Don very well had the money to stay at the Hilton now. He worked hard and made his way up the corporate ladder of a techno-genetic research lab based in Boston. But that was Boston. They seemed to accept mutants of the green variety there more that NYC did for some reason.

Thirty years had gone past, and well, he thought to make he way around to visit with his other brothers... wherever they may be. He had a tip that Raphael liked to hang out around this place, so here he will start.

Don looked about the lobby, feeling slightly out of place. Maybe he should have worn one of his older trenchcoats. He goes to the desk, givingt he clerk a modest grin. "Excuse me sir, do you have a Raphael in your register here?"

*38 passes by unseen, buts stops when she hears her companion's name*

"Raph...its different this time. I feel its Leo thats gonna need help." She started up the stairs.

(OOC: I'll change this if I have to, but for the moment I'm assuming that Don is at the same hotel as Raph and Co.)


*glances up at the man near the counter, catching a familiar scent about him*

Hmm. Better warn Shellhead that we might be expecting company. Again.

*turns back and heads for the others again*

Raph thought about this for a moment Leo in trouble? but he is always cautious, makes good decisions, and never endangers his own life unless need be, so why would Leo be in danger? Caitlyn's words made Raph uneasy, maybe he was in danger?

Raphael looked at Cory "Maybe we should cancel our plans and go on a little trip?" Raph looked for 38 "Hey squirt where'd you go?"

*a silver lizard-like creature reappears completely, sitting on Raph's fedora* Right here and I've got news. Some guy at the front desk is looking for you. I don't know what he wants, but if it's one of those guys from the bar, I suggest you make yourself scarce.

Raph looked to the front desk "Well if it's the guy from the bar he has definantly been....uhhh....working out!" Raph strolled up to the figure and crossed his arms "Hey, pal my little friend just informed me you were asking for me."

*groans as stomps a foot on the fedora* Earth to Shellhead, there's a reason why I was warning you!

*disappears, but stays on her perch*

(( ooo... I'm back just in time! ))

Don turned around, recognizing the voice immediately. "Well, yes, I am," he gave Raph a sly smile, making the light reflect slightly from the red of his cybernetic eye. "I had some time off, so i thought to stop by..."

He lossened his tie with some discomfort while looking once at the digital lizard type on Raph's hat.

Raph looked at the figure, ther was something familliar about him "Donny?" Raph guessed, he hadn't seen his brothers in soo long he had forgot what they all looked like, not just Donatello.

"Yeah.. it's me, Donny-boy," he laughed it off, deciding poor Raph must've had his brain knocked about too much from the fights he had been in from the past. Although, it was true he hadn't been in NYC for very long after he became cybernetic. And his face just didn't look the same as it used too.

He fell into another ackward silence, trying to think up something else to say. "It's been a long time since I've seen you. I visited five years ago, only to see Mike and April," Don commented, before whipping the tie off his neck and tucked it neatly into his inside coat pocket.

*38 reappears* So that's why you smelled so familiar. Nice to see you again, Donatello.

*looks down at Raph* Got to say, the tie is a nice touch. Now if only I could get you to wear one of those.

Raphael looked at Don "Man, it has been a long time hasn't it." he gave Don a quick hug "Sooo....whats been up?"

Hearing 38's comment he looked up "Maybe, in the far future....or maybe just in your dreams squirt." he laughed "me with a tie? Hahaha!"

Cory looked at raph "hello??? i'm still here" he walked up to raph "who is this? he looks like u but only not.... i know this doesn't sound right.."

*sighs* I suppose it's too much to ask. You rarely use a napkin, so why should I expect you to try something other than old coats and smelly hats?

*glances at Cory* They look alike b/c they're brothers.

"Hey, I don't think they smell bad at all i keep em clean." He put his hands around his throat "Besides a tie is just a leash...I don't need a leash."

Raphael looked to Cory "Oh, sorry bout that pal....this is my bro Donatello, but i suppose you can call him Don, like all of us do."

Hmm. You may not need a leash, but sometimes I think you need a muzzle. Might help you learn how to be quiet sometime.

*vanishes, leaving her perch and reappearing on the floor*

Raphael looked at 38 seriously "You seem to forget that my mouth has gotten us outta quite a few fixes." he pointed a finger at her "I have saved your tail a few times with my mouth....so don't you forget that!"

*snorts* And you keep in mind that it was also your mouth that got us into those jams in the first place. Like that time we were Vegas. You just had to open your beak and say something to that guy. I'm still surprised you're in one piece after that bit.

*fades a bit, going almost ghost-like* And when it comes to keeping each other's tail out of the fire, I've had my share of getting you out of trouble. You still owe me for the bar last month, Raphael. Remember?

Raphael shook his head and bent down to 38's level "ok, ok you got me there, what do you want me to do to make it even?" Raph thought for a moment "Come on 38 you know I may get tore up, but if i get into it I always get out." he stood back up "besides I love it...I have nothing else to do in my spare time except pick fights!"

You wanna make it even, choose a better hotel next time. I told you before, this place STINKS!

*phases to solid again* Maybe you should consider doing something else. Like maybe getting a job or making model ships in bottles. It might be nice to go more than a week w/o changing bandages.

"Ok the motel thing I can, but building model ships in bottles, don't make me laugh.....everyone here knows i haven't the patiens fer that crap!" he shrugged "and as for a job...what and where could I ever get a job?"

You like to fight? Then try being a bouncer or boxer. Either way you get to beat the snot out of others or vice versa.
