Fine. I guess I accept your apology.
I accepted the other one, too, if I didn't make that clear.

[He... wasn't sure what he expected here, perhaps something silly or stupid. Not her genuinely saying she accepts his apology, both the real and the silly one.]
Oh.
Okay, good. Good to know.
Oh.
Okay, good. Good to know.
[To be fair, accepting the apology is continuing the stupid. She just made it Real after.]
I'll let you know when I feel up to coming over, okay?

Okay, and no rush. I'm pretty sure Leo has invited like half of Bavan over by now anyway.
That sounds right. He's really good at that sort of thing even though you all never really met a lot of others.
Well, he was our face man before he became leader, so he just kind of learned how to handle people with what we had... I guess.
[Not that Donnie gets how Leo became so good at people, considering their situation.]

????!?!]
I thought Raph was the team leader.
[IT WAS CERTAINLY THE IMPRESSION SHE GOT FROM HOW THEY TALKED ABOUT HIM AND ALSO THE MEMORIES SHE SAW.]

Oh he was, but pretty recently, like months and months ago for me and recently for Leo, Dad made Leo the leader.
[You know, as you do.]
[You know, as you do.]
Raph was fine. Just. That's what dad decided, I guess.
[She'll understand this slightly better in the future, though after seeing Leo's memory, it's hard to feel like it was justified... Unless their dad saw Gram Gram's death as a failure on his part? That wasn't fair at all.
Zoning out, zoning out... Ah.]
I see...
[...Wow, she almost said something real fucked up before she remembered that she cares about these people and thinking about how Raph would probably go back to being leader now, at least until they figured out how to get him.]
Was that hard to adjust to?

Not really, because Leo didn't really start leading until...
[Hrm, does he really feel like explaining the whole Krang thing and Raph getting captured and it took that to make Leo finally step up to the leadership plate?]
Ah, it doesn't matter. Nothing really changed, you know?
[He will not.]

[Ah... She can kind of...read between the lines, given the way some things went down in those memories...]
Yeah.
I mean, you're all brothers...not that I know what that's really like. You don't act like any of that stuff is important in a place like this anyway.
Yeah.

Yeah.
Really what is important is that we're just ourselves here.
[Something that Donnie is still kind of McStruggling with.]

[awkwardly looks away... this conversation sure did start with Donnie apologizing for Cube-related social crimes...]
Obviously I don't know everything, but... I like the Donnie I met here.

[Oh well, he never thought something like that would make him feel things. But he is feeling something alright.]
It's just a silly thing me and Leo promised we'd do here, that's all and...
[What does he even say to that last part?]
Good to know. [A cheap cop out reply, it seems.]

I don't think it's silly. Being yourself and making choices for yourself is really important.
[We'll just continue to be disgustingly genuine over here, then.]
[We'll just continue to be disgustingly genuine over here, then.]
Yeah well... We kind of didn't really get to do that back home.
[Ew, being genuine.]
[Ew, being genuine.]
Something you can actually look forward to here, then.
Yeah... I guess it is something like that.
Soooooo, can I count you in on a scheme Donnie and I are doing?
If you're busy, I get it. just a question from lil ole me

Yes.
[Of course. Of course her answer us "of course". If she's busy or there was otherwise some stumbling block, then...she'd find a way around it.]
What is it?

The plan itself is essentially, you play bait, draw out some weirdos obsessed with shades I've been keeping an eye on. Donnie and I handle the actual messy part. He's got a hunting drive that's a little crazy. So him going after them wouldn't be hard.
I'm looking to get Donnie moving up the ranks for Elias. He and I don't talk bout it much, cause there is already enough heat for the god thing.

[She's already typing that she doesn't mind taking care of it for them by herself, though she finds it a little odd and she usually tries to avoid people like that unless they get in her way, until -- ah. Aha.]
If you're aiming to keep it quiet, then this route would be a good way to get Donnie up to my level. Especially with humans like that. Recruiting is cleaner, but risky...
I'd be happy to be your bait. That said, I won't be able to help much more than that. I wouldn't mind, but it has to be proof that he's willing to go that far for Elias. For that same reason, unless you chose multiple targets to make up for it, I'm not sure how much you should be helping...
Keeping Donnie's motivations on task is important, too. For the thrill of hunting or feeding yourselves can't be the reason, and it can't be to stop people like that from harassing me, either. Is that understandable?

I know Dee wouldn't have the patience to actively recruit anyone. I know I barely have the energy to think about trying that. I don't wanna kill anyone, but if I gotta, it'll be humans who are actively being evil or creepy.
You're good tho, Ray-Bae. The company after the whole bait thing is more than fine by me. I figure two should be good? One for me, one for Dee. If he accidentally messes up, he can go after the guy I had an eye on. I'd rather he progress first. I know he can use Elias resources a lot better than I can.
Yeah, I get you. Its gotta be motivated for Elias. Is there anything else I need to know? Like, can we not eat the bodies? Does that negate the whole thing? I can get Donnie fed before hand so he doesn't pop off from being hungry.
