@haus-der-mysterionmusen // "You're clearly not human, but I don't feel anything demonic coming from you. So what the hell are you?" A Japanese teenage dressed in black but more biker style than ninja style and with reflective eyes, a clearly nonhuman trait itself, is standing in the darkness facing down Cleo. It seems she's caught his attention.

Cleo has met many different people in her life -- weirdos, goths, preps, nerds, humans, mutants, serial killers...so, somehow, she's completely unphased, merely staring the younger boy down, her own eyes SHINING in the dark. " Depends on who's askin', " she replies after a moment, trying to see if she picks up any...BAD VIBES from him.

Send ‘ you’ll have to get through me first… ‘ for my muse’s reaction to yours stepping in and defending them from someone they’re scared of

@eievuimultimuse // ‘ you’ll have to get through me first ‘ ( from 07 SF 8]C )

Fear: noun, an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief ( or KNOWLEDGE, ) that someone or something ( someONE, in this case, ) is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat ( all THREE, currently. ) A primal emotion that involves a universal biochemical response and a high emotional response, beginning in the amygdala, the part of the brain ( brains...like the Kraang, ) previously thought to exclusively for fear processing, but also found to be important in reward-based training ( that would...be a lot more favorable. )

Cleo could break it down, deconstruct it, take it apart and put it back together again a million times over, but no matter what, it was always there. Always lingering, creeping in the inner most back in her mind, creeping around like a monster, with tentacles and wings and a deep, booming voice that sounded exactly like him. Like the one voice she had never, ever hoped to hear again, in her life. The one person who, when she learned of his death, she'd smiled, she'd rejoiced and cried and finally knew the sweet, fragile taste of freedom, one that could be pulled out from underneath her at any moment.

Well...he found her. She had no idea how he was alive, she had no idea how the fuck he knew she mutated, or anything. All she knew was that it was his voice, and that she needed to run. And that's what she did, she hauled her ass the fuck out of there and ran like a madman, ran like a little kid just now learning how to run. She ran faster than her legs could keep up with ( especially with her limp, ) and she wound up crashing DOWN to the ground. But as soon as her body hit the ground, she scrambled like a feral animal, on all fours.

By the time her lungs forced her to stop, she'd thought she lost him, and she allowed herself the chance to attempt to catch her breath. It came in sharp, rapid gasps, heavy coughs, and the sensation of scratching in her throat. She spat to the side, and she had to resist the urge to panic at the sight of the sizzling blue-green-mixed-with-red liquid next to her -- her blood. ( She had probably huffed her throat raw -- son of a bitch. )

" Jeee-sus Christ, babe. " Oh, GOD. Faster than a stroke of lightning, Cleo shot onto her back and crab-walked backward, hues still pinprick with fear. " Honestly, I don't unda'stand you. Here I am, offerin' you a way t' be human again, to go home and be normal and let me take care of you...and here you are, runnin' away. "

He shrugged, popping a walkie-talking off his belt. " You'll thank me later, doll. How about you get up, I take you back, and we- "

She kept backing away and backing away. Not happy about the sudden space between him and her, Carlton took another step forward. As soon as he did-

SLAM !

Cleo's eyes shot wider, and she let out an almost squeak of relief when she realized just who dropped down. Carlton, however, had a look of genuine surprise for a split second, before it fell into a surprisingly calm smirk.

" Ayo. You're, uh...kinda interruptin' somethin' here, buddy. I gotta get my girl back home. So if you don't min- "

" You'll have to get through me first. "

His smirk fell.

" Not cool, dude. "

one of these days i'll work on the individual verses pages but random notes for cleos occupation in the various iterations / verses for personal note

87 - not sure, presumably a student in school. i havent watched 87 enough to gauge anything yet

90 - student during the day, vigilante alongside casey at night -- always tries to upshow him bc its entertaining to her

03 - ^ same except the vigilante thing is more important to her emotionally, a huge aspect of her identity. literally like the 03 version of nightwatcher

07 - leader of the kraang rebellion, vigilante and certified kraang killer

12 - student, vigilantes with the turtles when she can (moreso during seasons 2-4 versus season 1)

bay - not sure yet tbh. prolly a student still

rise - farmer, animal caretaker

mayhem - student, vigilante like in 03 but more "the crow" than nightwatcher

and all other verses tba

@eievuimultimuse // “is it bad that i want to chop people’s legs if they were taller than me?” (from 07 aliyah LMAO)

" That actually happened to a friend a' mine. "

She pauses for dramatic effect. " Ah' mean. She can fly but. She did get her legs chopped so. Do with that what you will. "

[greenvengeance]

" Dammit -- shit -- heck -- " She's reaching for something, but the item in question seems to be wedged between two shelves just out of her reach. Cleo, despite this, seems insistent on retrieving the item, so there's another moment where she's reaching, attempting...then she realizes it's a futile effort, and steps away.

Careful and calculating, she steps back a few times, before crouching down the slightest bit, aligning her sight with the item. Then, her jaw slacks, and the top of her head flies back as a giant pink tentacle shoots out of her mouth, darting right between the shelves and wrapping around the item. Then it reels back, she extends her arm, grabbing the item, which turns out, is a book, and the tentacle flies back into her throat.

There's a long moment of nothing but mutters and groans from the turtle as she rubs her jaw, complaining about the pain. Cleo then turns, facing the other person for a moment.

" ...what. Are you lookin' at. "

@eievuimultimuse // from HERE

Cleo was never known to be super PATIENT. She was when she had to be, sure, but she never ENJOYED it -- especially when it was situations like now, awaiting recovery, whether her own or someone she loved and cared about. It'd been a long time since she'd had to wait like this -- not since she, Raph and Hyde had gotten into that scrap, and she'd been taken out for a few weeks. Even then, Raph had done more waiting than her. This time, it's different.

Even though this isn't her place, her lair, her medbay, she'd stayed, every day and night that she could. There had been a few times where she was forced to head back home, mostly because the other mutants would tell her to go get some sleep ( and, considering she couldn't sleep without Raph around anymore, it was always necessary. ) But even then, it'd been a struggle to sleep, considering all she could think about was whether Superfly would recover, or if she was gonna have to go hunt down Manray and chop his head off herself, and give it to the other Stockmans on a silver platter.

Cleo had been in the other room when Mondo had run in, and before he could get a second syllable out, she shot into the room, almost tripping over herself in the process -- not quite the hardened battle leader she portrayed herself to be. As soon as she walks in, he begins to struggles, and for a second, she debates whether to slap him upside the head or tell him to settle down -- but he stops before she can even decide, and that settles it.

Instead, she lets out a sigh of relief when he greets her, and she makes her way over, taking a chair and setting it down next to the bed before taking a seat. She takes a second to take off her hat and set it on her lap, then shakes her head and lets out another sigh.

" You had us all WORRIED, you fuckin' dumbass. " Despite her words, she leans forward and taps her forehead against his, a rare sign of affection from the rebel leader. " Don't do that to us ever again. "

Cleo looks away from her book, and over to the approaching child. The softest of expressions appears across her features, a rare sight indeed.

" Well...yer Uncle Raph got some new art stuff the other way. He wouldn' mind you borrowin' it fer a bit if you wanna draw somethin'. "

Just- know your family, your friends, they care about you. Don’t dig yourself a hole you can’t get out of. Being a leader is never easy but- know you’re not alone. Don’t make the mistakes I did. Love you, kiddo.

Her arm is swung over his shoulders, leg looking like its about to fall in on itself. ( SHE WAS LUCKY HE CAME WHEN HE DID. Otherwise, she's sure Carlton would've shattered every bone in her body, and that wouldn't have been good for anyone. )

send "🚬" to stumble across my muse having a smoke while all alone

@jung1eboy // 🚬 oop 👁️

Cleo always, somehow, had a pack of cigarettes on her. It was a habit she'd PICKED UP FROM CARLTON and, well, she'd never seemed to be able to break it. ( Cigarettes had been rare during The Rebellion, but she distinctly remembered the time Jack had found the confiscated items, and among them, several packs of Marlboros. But that had only occurred once. )

She knew the smell bothered Mikey, though. So, for his comfort, she'd always either waited until he was asleep and sprayed the shit out of everything or went out of the Lair to smoke. Tonight, everyone had either gone out or to bed rather early, so that gave Cleo the time to herself.

She'd plopped down on the couch and lit a cigarette, and as soon as she did...the door opened, and in came Leonardo.

She paused for a second, then spared him a glance up and down. " ...if yer gonna say anythin' about this bein' bad fer me or whatever, then please save it. 'Cuz ah' know. "
