[Late at night of Day 43 into the very early morning of Day 44, Raph may feel the faintest, tiniest brush of ninpo before it's gone. Did he dream it? Likely.]

[ If there's a ninpo equivalent to being half-awake for 2 seconds to pat a brother on the head after a bad dream, that's what Raph goes for. There there, bud. Still got you. Etc.

As the turtle with the best lifetime sleep schedule hit rate, chances are he won't remember this in the morning. Realistically. ]

Bootyyyshaker9000: Leo is demon possessed. This is literal and proven. Extremely hostile. Has it out for Hunter. Is a manipulator type, and very good at lying. Is able to read Leo's memories in real time if questioned. Portals are not cut off. Death hangover. vcxb

[And moments after the text, the ninpo suddenly gets quieter, muffled. Like a chunk went missing for several long minutes.]

[ Going ahead and jotting Day 45 down as the next in the list of absolute worst and most horrific days of his life right about now, actually.

Raph gets this message.

He's out of bed (because 'has it out for Hunter' means 'get to Hunter' which Donnie's definitely gonna be doing, so they're gonna have to make a game plan from there) and partway through typing a response out when he feels it.

Something gone like it's cut out, gone like gone, but that can't be right he can't be right about that that isn't how this works, he's there when his brothers need someone, he absolutely positively doesn't outlive any of them--

Realistically the number of frantic texts and attempted calls probably can't be conveyed in this format without it being obnoxious and also taking a very long time to type up and post.

But put it on the record, Raph goes full-boar on those frantic contact attempts in the several long minutes time frame. If the cultists have these phones set up on some kind of data plan, he's gonna be the reason that bill skyrockets. ]

[Sorry bro, there are no answers in those several long, horrifying minutes of gone-gone.]

[But then there's a flicker.]

[What was missing is not fully returned.]

[But something has returned.]

primetime: raph somethings up with d
primetime: dont go looking for him yet we need a plan first
primetime: with chococho at sparrow rn
primetime: idk what happened but hes at krang level not ok

[ there will be no answer this time around.

sorry buddy 😞 got caught slipping.

in case of an emergency, please attempt to contact your mind raph representative. ]

Tryse: How wide are your arms?
Tryse: As in, what's the actual diameters of your shoulders, biceps, and forearms.
Tryse: Not whether or not they're big enough to support your family.

R.A.P.H: they are big enough to do that though. R.A.P.H: for the record. i'm great at it. R.A.P.H: but okay uhh i think

[ sends idk some ballpark guesstimate measurements. very numbers. ]

R.A.P.H: donnie and leo probably have like actual notes on that though. since d likes data collecting and leo's the one who made my pajamas. R.A.P.H: should i be worried you want my arm stats?

Tryse: I just assumed they would be. You're Raphael Hamato, after all.
Tryse: Anyway.
Tryse: I haven't seen Donatello since before the game.
Tryse: I'll ask Leonardo.
Tryse: This isn't anything worrisome.

R.A.P.H: i've seen a couple texts from donnie the past couple of days? R.A.P.H: between that messed up board game and the weather change i think he's been back in processing mode... i'm gonna have to track him down though. R.A.P.H: leo should have you covered for your non nefarious mystery.

Tryse: Please do.
Tryse: As I said, I haven't heard from him in over a week now.
Tryse: The only way I know he's still here, safe, and alive is that you aren't tearing the temple apart to find him.
Tryse: I've been furious at him for not being here, but
Tryse: By now I'm just worried.

R.A.P.H: yeah. R.A.P.H: i won't tell you to not be mad bc it's not like a crime to be mad. from experience. R.A.P.H: but do me a favor and try not to be too hard on him about it? everyone has different ways to deal. R.A.P.H: and when everyone has different ways to deal it's not always gonna mix with how everyone else likes to deal. it's a whole thing.

Tryse: I am genuinely more concerned than angry now.

R.A.P.H: noted. R.A.P.H: i yell when i get worried, but i guess not everyone does that huh?

Tryse: If I'm raising my voice, something's gone terribly wrong.

R.A.P.H: stuff like this is how we learn to tell when one of us is possessed. it totally counts as team building.

Tryse: This is a courtesy notification.
Tryse: Hunter Hamato of Mouse has requested to learn my form of magic.
Tryse: I have informed him of the dangers and he's accepted the risks of his own free will.
Tryse: This will not, strictly speaking, be a formal apprenticeship.

R.A.P.H: oh wow really? R.A.P.H: he's a real nerd type, i bet he's super excited. R.A.P.H: thanks for the heads up tryse! it's good to know this stuff about my brothers BEFORE they accidentally explode something.

Tryse: I'd figured you'd appreciate a heads up.
Tryse: Thankfully, fireball spells are a ways away.

Piccione hey raph-kun!
Piccione could i ask a favor?

R.A.P.H: yeah sure! R.A.P.H: what do you need?

Piccione: how would you feel about
Piccione: 30 seconds of wordless yelling
Piccione: some hitting stuff
Piccione: and maybe a nap?

R.A.P.H: i'd feel worried about you needing it but happy you got outlets so R.A.P.H: yeah count me in! i always got some pre nap energy to burn

Piccione: ヾ(≧へ≦)〃youre a light in my life wahhh
Piccione: when's a good time for you?

R.A.P.H: aww you too 🥰 R.A.P.H: i'm ready when you are! assuming we don't get pulled into a game outta nowhere.

Piccione: if we do i will RIOT
Piccione: but!! i live in hope!!
Piccione: see you soon ♥

[ and, soon thereafter: knockknock from a pigeon who hasn't slept since day 112, ]
