As The Forum Turns:New Year, New pran-I mean...possibilities

**Machias Banshee** · 09-07-2002, 06:59 PM

You wanted a new Clone thread, you got one!

and now i present the next thrilling chapter of...

AS THE FORUM TURNS...

*Several Months have passed since the departure of Azure and Machias. Summer ups and downs have affected everyone, and they all look forward to seeing each other once again.*

*It was early when Splinter rose from bed. He stretched, donned his robe, and headed out to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. Once it was poured, he made his way to the porch, relishing the quiet before his sons and friends awoke. The sun peeked from the horizon, bathing the forum with its golden rays.*

Sp: Hmm, today will be a good day. I await what, or who, comes with much eagerness...

*Meanwhile, off in the distance, a figure emerged from a Greyhound bus, bags and satchels hanging off their neck and shoulders*

That's the last time i Ever ride coach again...

*Machias looked at the scene before her. Everything looked peaceful with its sunkist glow. Off in the distance she could see the caves and smiled to herself. 'cant wait to see everyone, and show them how much i've changed' she thought. She hefted her bags up higher and made her way towards her second home...The lair of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*

(Anyone interested in going next?)

**azure turtle** · 09-08-2002, 12:17 AM

(( OOC: Sure, I'll bite.

))

*Azure paid the taxi driver and thanked him for his kindess. He picked up his luggage and began walking towards a cave that he had called home for many months.*

Gee, it's been a while since I've been here... I wonder how everyone's doing? I wonder if their summer was as fun as mine.

*He smiled as he continued towards the lair*

**Kali** · 09-08-2002, 10:35 AM

*Kali dragged herself into the kitchen and sat down at the table where Leonardo had already set out her cup of tea*

Leo: Feeling any better?

I didn't have the over-powering urge to puke this morning. *she cringed at Leo's look* Sorry...

Leo: It's okay. I understand. *he put his hand on her forehead* At least there's no fever. Drink your tea while I get the others up. I have the feeling something's gonna happen today.

*unenthusiastically* Whoo hoo.

((BTW, anyone curious about this thread and/or wants to join, just ask.))

*Skeletoncrew* · 09-08-2002, 11:21 AM

((Jeeez...I dun know if I can remember what we were doing. So shall I assume time has passed? If that's the case...I know where I am.

))

**Machias Banshee** · 09-08-2002, 12:14 PM

((

))

*Machias neared the lair ever closer, when she heard the sounds of tires peeling away. She looked towards the sound, and saw a figure emerging from a cloud of dust*

Azure? AZURE!!!! *Waves enthusiastically*

*she hefted up her bags once more and made her way towards the blue turtle*

*Skeletoncrew* · 09-08-2002, 12:23 PM

*Skeletoncrew awoke to the sound of her alarm. She sat up and reached over and fumbled around until she switched it off. Flopping back into the bed she looked up at the ceiling. Metal. Metal ceiling, metal walls, metal floor, metal everything. At least they'd brought in some decent furniture, rugs, and wall hangings for her. This place was so damned inorganic!*

*She looked over at the other half of the bed. Empty. The man she had previously known as Eric was up early for his morning exercises as usual. Skeletoncrew stumbled to the bathroom for a hot shower.*

*enigma-1* · 09-08-2002, 04:36 PM

( *shrugs* Well, may as well jump in at some point)

*watches the sunrise from where she sits, wondering what to do*

Hmm. I am so BORED! There's never a 'con around when you need one.

*Skeletoncrew* · 09-08-2002, 05:37 PM

*Skeletoncrew answered the beeping intercom as she dried her hair.*

Yes?

*Krang's burbly voice replied* Come up to the control room in half an hour. If you see those moronic mutants bring them with you.

Okay.

*She rolled her eyes. Now what? Probably another one of his ridiculous plans for world domination. What was I thinking when I came here?*

**Machias Banshee** · 09-08-2002, 05:41 PM

(( *gasp* sleeping with the enemy?! I'm shocked! ))

*enigma-1* · 09-08-2002, 07:42 PM

(hey, makes things more interesting

)

**Machias Banshee** · 09-08-2002, 08:43 PM

((two days and its already corrupt!))

*inside the caves, a lone turtle was getting up. He stood up, and with a full-bodied stretch, adorned his gear and made his way to the kitchen.*

Mike: well, I'm gonna enjoy the peace while i still can. Knowing Leo, he-hey, Splinter must be up, the stove is still warm...maybe he'd like some company. If i can find him that is...

*Mike gathered up his mug of cocoa and muffin and headed towards the porch. He had to shield his eyes for a moment from the sudden light, but quickly hunched a bit to get out of its reach. The morning air made his nose tickle, and he quickly set down his breakfast to try and stifle it.*

Mike: *makes funny face* Achoo!

Sp: Bless you, my son...

*Mike spun his head to see Splinter sitting on the big porch swing, mug in hand and smiling.*

Mike: *sniff* thanks, Sensei...

Sp: This is rare to see you awake so early in the morning.

Mike: Ah, must've slept good last night...slept like a log.

Sp: Well, it certainly sounded like something was getting sawed in your room...*Mike gave Splinter a 'huh?' look as he chuckled*...would you care to join me, Michelangelo?

Mike: Sure...
*he grabbed his breakfast and took a seat beside his father, watching the sunrise bathe everything in its comforting light.*
Huh, Never really seen a sunrise like that before...awesome.

Most of the times i miss it because we have practice so early in the morning.

--Or you're in a coma on your bed...

*Mike and Splinter turned to see Raph standing in the doorway, holding a bowl of corn bran.*

Sp: Good Morning, Raphael.

Raph: G'Morning, Splinter... *Raph gave his nod before shoveling a spooful into his mouth, practically swallowing it whole.* I've been up a while, thanks to Mike and his snoring. Loud enough to wake the dead..

Mike: Well, it woke you up, didnt it?

*Raph gave Mike a snarky look before sitting down on the porch steps. Splinter shook his head with a smirk, and set his tea back down.*

Sp: Well, nevertheless, I recommend you enjoy the time you have now before practice.

Raph: ...til Leo wakes up.

Mike: Nah, even Leo couldnt get me down today.

Raph: why such the good mood?

*Mike shrugged before sucking down the last of his cocoa*

Mike: I just got a feeling something good is gonna happen today...Not sure what, but it'll be good.

Raph: Hope youre right...

((Wow that's a long post!))

*Skeletoncrew* · 09-09-2002, 11:58 AM

((I'd been leading up to it for a while. I think I left more than a few clues as to who Eric really was.

))

*Skeletoncrew soon found Rocksteady and Bepop in the Technodrome's kitchen gorging on Froot Loops and Cocoa Puffs with extra sugar. After exchanging greetings with them she grabbed a bowl of Kashi and sat down near them.*

Krang wants us all in the control room in 20 minutes.

Rocksteady: Not another meeting! I hate meetings!

Bebop *snorts*: Yeah. I'm no good at discussin' things, I just want to get to the surface and destroy some stuff or somethin'.

Rocksteady: Its been too long since we've had a good fight. I'm actually kinda startin' to miss those shellbacks.

Bebop: Not me! They always won!

Rocksteady: Not always, we got them a few times. Hey Skel, did we ever tell you about the time we caught Michaelangelo?

*Skeletoncrew watched with mild amusement as the two mutants began trying to impress her with tales of battles with her friends. Not that they had any idea that she'd ever met the Turtles, much less stayed with them. She finally had to interrupt them so they wouldn't be late for Krang's meeting.*

*Kameko* · 09-09-2002, 02:10 PM

((Can I step in somehow? Maybe I'm from another dimension...who knows?

))

**Machias Banshee** · 09-09-2002, 02:15 PM

(( Do whatever your lil' ninja heart desires...

))

*Kameko* · 09-09-2002, 02:17 PM

((cool! *sai*

I'm in a hurry right now. I'll be back on tommorrow!))

**azure turtle** · 09-10-2002, 01:14 AM

*Azure looked about as he heard his name*

Hmm? That voice sounds really familiar...

*He turned around and saw his good friend Machias, waving enthusiastically and running up to greet him*

Woah!!! I see you've returned, too.

It's been a while since I've seen ya! How've you been, Machias?

*The little blue turtle couldn't stop smiling. He was quite happy and excited, and he knew that with Machias around, the caves were going to be one entertaining place to be in.

*

*Kameko* · 09-10-2002, 08:46 AM

*A strange machine appears in an alleyway, and after the dust clears, a lone figure crawls out of it*

Kameko:

Ugh. That is the LAST time I become the guinea pig for one of your ridiculous inventions, Donny. *looks around, realizes she's not in the lair*

Ummm... Donny? Mike? Guys, this ain't funny...

Hoh, boy, I'm in trouble.

**Machias Banshee** · 09-10-2002, 10:23 AM

((Youre such a sweetheart, Azure...

))

*Machias dropped her bags and gave Azure a big friendly *glomp**

Its so awesome to see you again! Aw, I'm so glad to be back...I wonder if the others are up yet...come on, I'll get my bags, and we can talk about our summers!

*enigma-1* · 09-10-2002, 10:44 AM

*sighs* Well, may as well check and see how everyone else is. It's not like I have anything else to do.

*disappears*

*Kameko* · 09-10-2002, 10:56 AM

*walks slowly out of alleyway, glancing around*

Ooooookay... It looks like New York, it sounds like New York, it -- ugh, it even smells like New York... but how'd I get topside? Geez, I'm gonna kill Donny.

*Notices some people giving her strange looks, realizes she's still wearing her dogi, tabis, weapons belt and mask*

Heh, uh, um, hi, um, I'm, y'know dressed like this for a, er, publicity stunt! Yeah, that's it, um, anyway, gotta go!

*Bolts back into alley and searches for a sewer grate. Upon finding one, enters sewer and starts for 'home'*

*muttering* Donny is so dead, he's dead, he's dead, ...he's dead!!!
