Mutants in Manhattan (V.2) [TMNT 2012: Open & Accepting]

[Teekl]

Ever since they were young, four brothers have lived in complete and utter secrecy. They didn't have much of a choice--the world wouldn't react well to four giant teenage mutant ninja turtles hiding out in their sewers and subways. The consequences of ever being discovered would be catastrophic; their home, their master, and everything they ever cared about would be in jeopardy. If the world were to find out about them, they would be hunted down and shot, or worse, taken to a lab and experimented on. And so, they lived in the shadows. Until now.

New York has caught on that humans are no longer the only intelligent beings in this city. More and more people are discovering the truth, and now not only is the entire Hamato Clan in trouble, but all of mutantkind. Their exposure has made it harder and harder to fight Shredder and other likeminded criminals. Lately the mutants have had to direct all of their focus on laying low, especially now that the army itself is after them, intent on capturing them and eliminating the mutant "threat." The city is gripped by fear, and there is nothing a people will not do, no lengths to which they will not go nor depths to which they will not sink, out of fear and fear alone.

Donnie-boi ㊍ Second-Youngest ㊍ Male ㊍ Mutant Turtle ㊍ Location: The Lair (Kitchen) ㊍ Tagged: Open

Ever since mutants had become front page news and the turtles were instructed to lay low, Donnie had become even more secluded than usual, if that was even possible. He spent 27 hours a day and 9 days a week in that lab, so that it got to the point where it was a wonder he didn't perish from neglecting the most basic necessities of life. This was one of those rare moments when the extremely reclusive, never-before-caught-on-tape Ingenius donatellus dared to venture outside the confines of his laboratory to seek out nourishment and sustenance.

In other words, he was taking a pizza break. Rubbing his bleary eyes, he trudged into the kitchen and swung open the refrigerator, not sure what he would do if one of his brothers had finished off the leftovers. He supposed he would have to go on a pizza run himself...zzzzz....

...if there's no pizza left! he thought, snapping his head back up and slapping himself. Now was no time to--well...he supposed now was as good a time as any to pass out from exhaustion, but he didn't want to. He still had a lot of work to do: Modifications to the Shellraiser, another batch of smoke bombs, not to mention he still needed to work on that retromutagen... He was here to get food, not sleep. Feeling resolved, he stuck his head in the fridge, hoping the cold blast of air would do something to effectively wake him up while simultaneously allowing him to assess the pizza situation. Oh, good, looked like there was at least one box left... He could just pull that right out and put it in the microwave... Hey, it actually feels really nice with his head in the refrigerator... all that cool air...

...Zzzzzzzz...

Link ㊊ Female ㊊ Kraang-Human Hybrid ㊊ Location: A Kraang Café ㊊ Tagged: Open

This was it. After several nights of ceaseless investigation, Link had managed to track recent Kraang activity, and it led her to this spot. From her perch on the rooftop, she overlooked a relatively low building, with beige walls and a neat little iron gate fencing in a gaggle of outdoor tables, chairs and umbrellas. Underneath an awning were a set of double doors, and when they opened they released the tinkling of silver bells into the air, along with a distinct, bready smell that the alien girl found almost irresistible. She could also very clearly detect the scent of caffeine. The Kraang had led her to none other than...

...that which is known as a...café? She shook her head. If the Kraang were here, it meant they were hiding something here. They always were, no matter how innocent the surroundings appeared. Dropping down into the nearest alley, the pinkette pressed herself up against the wall. Discretely, she reached for her bag, produced a silver compact mirror and flipped it open with a barely audible click. This was not a matter of vanity; she had to make sure she looked sufficiently human before venturing into a public place like this, even if it was more difficult to see her in the evening dark. Sure enough, her black hoodie helped to shield the pinkish hue of her face from the world. From the waist down she wore dark blue jeans and black boots. These were her street clothes, although oftentimes she liked to wear her Kraang clothes underneath it all, if for no other reason than to help keep her warm.

Satisfied with her appearance, she snapped the mirror shut, straightened out her ruffled clothes, and strode up to the café as if this were a normal day, and she an ordinary human being, out on an ordinary coffee run.

Hamato Michelangelo ● Sixteen ● Male ● Turtle Mutant ● Location; The Lair ● Tags; Donatello

For a while now Mikey had taken notice of something: a notable lack of annoyingly-smart comments from an annoyingly-smart turtle. Don had been reclusive ever since this entire ordeal began, and after enough snaps the youngest turtle had stopped ever bothering to visit. However as he was reading an old magazine- this particular one seeming to be about cooking, but he really didn't care-, the sound of footsteps caused him to look over.

Oh hey, Donnie's back! Michelangelo had been half-waiting for him to come out and sit or something, however the tallest turtle just went into the kitchen instead. Whatever, he shrugged, going back to reading, even though at this point it was moreso just looking at the pictures longingly.

He took a moment to get up, at this point just curious to see what they had- other than whatever was left of the pizza-, setting the book down on the coffee table to walk into the kitchen. The orange-banded turtle had honestly forgotten Donatello was there until he walked in, to see something he wasn't expecting. Was it normal, for someone to be half-asleep with their head in the refrigerator? "Uhhhh..."

Raelynn Haven ● Eighteen ● Female ● Human ● Location; The Streets ● Tags; Open

Raelynn sighed as she stepped out of her small house and moved onto the sidewalk, it was always so plain at night. She wasn't complaining- as the light was far easier on her eyes, and she had less of a chance of being bothered-, but it was a bit dull in her opinion. But hey, it was only evening, some people were still bound to be around, right?

She placed her right hand to her side, unusual red eyes widening slightly when she felt the grip of a handle. Oh, I guess I brought it out of habit... she realized, wrapping her fingers around the handle to her chain whip, before letting go to simply have her arm at her side. She'd wanted some fresh air, but where did she even want to go? Nearby to her there was a public pool, and that was it. She looked off to the left in it's direction, shrugging to herself as she began to walk at a brisk pace towards it.

[Ember1989]

Raph walked out to the kitchen to see if they had any pizza. Yeah it was late, but he wasn't going to eat anything Mikey cooked up. Speaking of, he saw the young turtle looking somewhat confused. "You look more confused than usual-" before he could finish he saw Donnie looking half asleep. "Uh, Donnie? Wake up, man!" He yelled.

April who had seen Donnie go to the kitchen looked at the other two turtles. "Is it just me or is Donnie always in the lab lately? It's not exactly a good thing. I think he's just working a bit too much and it's really tiring him out." She said.
