Okay, Rapha here - so, we got the kiddos to sleep last night. They wanted me to stay so I did, and I guess Dad's room now is the twins' room?

This is.. wild, but I guess we've got two little brothers. And I mean little but considering they're.. alligators, I guess, they're gonna be big.

For now we're taking a break for the holidays, and getting these kiddos something for Christmas and to just be comfortable settling in.

Draxum's already visited and he seemed absolutely displeased at Bishop but the guy's dead and we can't really reverse it. So - time to just.. chill for now.

[sunsh1ner]

WELL FUCK ME RUNNING

OKAY

LOOKS LIKE BISHOP AND DRAXUM MUST'VE WORKED TOGETHER AT SOME POINT BECAUSE WE GOT SOME BITTY GATORS HERE THAT DISTINCTLY HAVE SPLINTER'S EYES AND ONE OF EM HAS ABSOLUTELY BITTEN THE HELL OUTTA ME

I'm home now but fucking OW that fucking HURTS, Donnie energy for sure - Violet's laughing at me and I'm trying so hard to be nice but these two distinctly have a Donnie and...

Oh. Well, shit, babiest curious sibling energy vs eldest and feral energy??

Whuh oh

[sunsh1ner]

Drags hands down face

Found something. Found someone, but they fucking booked it like a bat out of hell.

Welp, looks like we found an experiment and fun fact folks: THEY'RE NOT TURTLES THIS GO-AROUND AND LITTLE KIDS

Fuck my life, holy shit I'm so tired of this, I need a nap - it's so close to the holidays too

[sunsh1ner]

So, Violet.. dug into the EPF more, and found something..

I dunno whether to call it alarming or not but they had a way to collect DNA from Splinter somehow, and with it, they might have.. made more. Somehow, some way, but we don't know for certain. All we know is Vi found classified documents for a project like this that was days before the incident.

It may have failed, but.. I dunno.

I'm gonna see if I can have Mikey and Gram Gram help tap into my ninpō more and strengthen it.

If I find out more I'll let you guys know, if anyone sees this blog outside of Flora, Don, Eiko and Angie.

[sunsh1ner]

Yes, you are in trouble young man, I am not about to deal with another Carol O'Neil situation and not meet a significant figure in the life of one of my children.

I'll come over there if need be. Do not test me, Donatello, I am especially not in the mood recently with your father paying me visits during my meditations.

Whatever he's saying I simply tune it out either way.

But yes, you are in trouble.

Hello, it is Don - long time no talk but I've been.. working on my mystics.

Since I've stopped my inventions they've seemed to change: geometric swapped for organic shapes, turning plant-like.. so I've been consulting Draxum. My Draxum, who..

Again, has yet to meet Eiko, I'm in trouble.

... So.

I, uhm - I

I made contact with Gram Gram today. I made contact and I got to hug her and-- guys, I saw him. I saw him I saw Mikey - I saw him and hugged him

And I know what happened. I know what happened and - he -

I gotta go. I gotta go talk to Mikey for now.

[sunsh1ner]

Adding onto this, the other elders had no idea ojisan Han was going to do this at all. He was most suspicious of Agustin and barely talked to him even after the others were okay with him.

Aggie also says hi, and he's sore but fine.

He's certainly foggy, that's for certain.

Uhm -

Agustin got - he got "cleansed" of the - the Kraang without me knowing, we headed back posthaste because he's shaken up to hell and back. I didn't know, I wouldn't have left him with ojisan Han like I did

Oh I feel so bad. I feel so, so bad. He's hurting, I can tell, his back specifically..

Violet and Leon both got him on some heavy meds. He isn't angry or even the slightest bit upset at me thankfully, I'm with him right now in bed.

Either he or I will update you guys on how he's doing. Bye for now.

So, to say the family clocked Agustin's little perk is an understatement. Uh - they certainly grilled him on it, tried to make him use said K-word stuff but he certainly refused to.

That's over and everyone's chill so!! Hamato clan approved boyfriend!

That was nerve-wracking

[sunsh1ner]

Helloooo, my turtley-boos and friends!

My dearest Violet baby has made his way to Japan with Mike and Leo, and as such dear Raphael is with me and showing me BABY PICTURES! Little Tsu is such a little snufflekins, oh I wish I was able to meet her when she was here…

Little Yakan reminds me a lot of my smart little turtle I know, especially with that grouchy-wouchy face..

Once they return they must meet their Grandmimi Lena.

[sunsh1ner]

Good morning - afternoon, sorry, forgot the time of day lol

It’s Leo, I’m chilling in Japan again w Mike and, surprise, Violet! He’s needing some time away from everything and with it he wanted to work w Mike to get his mystics back.

They’re.. aware of Blue and what went down, and safe to assume they agree anyone who’s adopted that mindset is no Hamato. They’re suspicious of Violet but he seems to be taking it in stride, even if he does look ashamed at times - I’m just glad that the way he treated Red is making him feel guilt.

Maybe when Red gets back I can drag him off to the Hidden City to hang out with him. Make him feel less wary of being around any Leos.

In the meantime, y’all stay safe, have a good day ✌️

[sunsh1ner]

Hello.

I don't suppose I saw this, but Mike did and said nothing to me of it - he says in mild annoyance - but yes. That wasn't said lightly.

I don't make threats, I make promises, and Blue keeps on crossing lines we made eons ago. It is not the twin I grew up with: that image has been twisted and misshapen to something gnarled and wrong and violent.

If he wishes to continue on the path he is going he may be considered a serious threat. I don't wish to eliminate my twin but if it must happen, it must happen.

He said once that.. "strength always prevails". During a briefing, another loss.

It hasn't. Not even smarts have prevailed. It was a mentality that our greatest and deadliest enemy adopted since their creation. He has no Kraang affliction, I have ensured it, but his mind changed after the second mutation.

What once was Leonardo Hamato became simply.. Blue.

It may sting, but I feel no regret.

Oh fuck. That's never something said lightly.

\\ A wide, tiny grin very reminiscent of a little Mikey spread on her face as it flickered over to Flora. She was quick, but Flora was quicker and so was Red. As she booked it, Flora went tiny and zipped up and Red grabbed her, a little shriek of laughter yipping out of the little yōkai as Red blew a raspberry into her cheek and smeared the paint on his cheek into hers in retaliation. With a laugh he sat her down, watching as she flopped onto the floor and let loose a flurry of chittering giggles before she settled and huffed. Red could only chuckle, before looking up at Flora with amusement. \\

"She's done, don't worry. Most, if not all, of the paint on her hands is on Red's face." \\ Red grinned, chuckling as she simply lay on the floor before she got up and walked over to him. In one fell swoop she flopped down in his lap and got comfy, looking quite tired as she yawned. The large turtle could only melt a tad, shifting so the little yōkai could be comfy before calling out. \\

"Ey, Angie, think you got an escapee! She's fine, just ended up getting some paint on my face: she's just layin' in Red's lap now."

\\ Turning back to Flora he simply huffed and smiled, gaze flickering to Yakan, the smallest tinge of grief muddling the warmth in his gaze as he looked at Yakan. \\ "Rapha really did good takin' Yakan in. She really warmed up to you guys quick, too: kids are good judges of character."

\\ Seemed she was already asleep now, speaking of Yakan. \\

\\ The familiar, soft hum could be heard in the living room of the lair, and the sound of a singular heavy footfall paired with another echoed through before the portal closed. It was then did Don seem to round the corner and freeze, looking at Blue and the nieces. \\

"I wasn't expecting you to visit. Not with the girls."

"I was just talking with Angie, checking on everyone here, thought it'd be nice to pop in and say hi and brighten up the place with some new and familiar faces."

\\ It was then did Don look down, and saw the newest member of the Hamato family: Yakan. The scowl on her face at Don made him chuckle, before he squatted down and held out a hand. \\

"Hello there, little one. I'm uncle Don."

"... What's wrong with your face?"

\\ An affronted scoff escaped Don as a grin spread on her face and she shook his hand whilst Blue let out a loud cough to hide the laugh. Little Tsuyo watched before something caught her attention and she looked around before loudly calling. \\

"Angieeee!"

\\ And once again, Blue and Don both were surprised by the yōkai and her sudden learning of names. Blue blinked away the surprise before shifting the baby in his arms, calling. \\

"Hey Angie, big man, I'm here!"

// It took all of five seconds after those two calls for Angie to practically THROW himself into the room. His cloaking brooch was disengaged, but remained ever in its place. //

"Was that-"

// He then proceeded to actually look at who was around. He blinked. //

"....... oh wow. Hi. You may be one of the few people I wouldn't kill for calling me 'little' man, and that's because it's true-"

// He glanced around, as if looking for Flora hiding anywhere nearby. When he didn't see her, he approached with a smile. //

"Hi there, little Yakan! I'm Angie! It's nice to meet you!"

[sunsh1ner]

To say I am.. disappointed and enraged is an understatement.

Know this, Leonardo Blue Hamato-Jones: hurting our father before his death by disowning him was one thing, attacking our father Draxum was another, but hurting our mother? Lena? Mama?

It's despicable.

Her throat is bruised and you nearly blinded her. Be lucky you didn't.

Don't come back here. Because if you do your life is on a line thinner than a spider's silk.

You have been declared an enemy of the Hamatos and as such you will be treated as one.

I'm sorry it has come to this, but you have forced all of our hands.

[sunsh1ner]

Hello, dearies!!

I suppose I must introduce myself, especially when it comes to this little blog my turtley-boos have made - most of you might know me as Big Mama, or Lena, but I suppose whilst I reside with my boys here I shall simply be Mama Lena.

I did not think my little turtley-boo Blue could be so feral or callous but it seems even the best of yōkai are sometimes damaged beyond repair. My dearest Violet has been here speaking with little ol me and has been ensuring I don't speak much due to the injuries and whatnot but! Seeing the younger ones start to warm up, especially my dearest Raphie, has been wonderful.

I hope to see more of Mike and his dear Agustin, he seems like a nice boy but is.. very wary of me either way - it is quite alright, as he himself explained why. A world without my baby boys sounds frightening, indeed, and this Bishop man sounds..

Wretched.

Especially since, in this world, he took my dearest baby Mikey. It's too bad Blue killed him before I could, he would've been fun to slaughter in the Battle Nexus.

[sunsh1ner]

Okay so, Lena's staying with us for a bit.

I made sure to talk to Agustin about it, but with how badly she was hurt it was.. urgent, to say the least. He's been interacting with her, and seems to be on friendly terms, plus Violet has been hanging out with his "mama" as he calls her. She's very much touched by that notion and the two have been sitting side by side and just.. talking.

She hasn't pulled anything, keeps on asking about her guard: we probably need to go back and look for them. She's extremely worried.

I know this seems dire but everything's going smoothly, I promise. If anything happens I'll update.
