Introduction

Welcome to Ask R. I. S. E! A mini interactive project with lore (If it goes well) where YOU interview these weirdos! You can ask them any sort of question, as long as you follow the rules!

The Story

R. I. S. E is a team of scientists who are searching for the key to immortality, and their latest experiment has proven to be an immense success! So now they've opened doors for interviews to spread the word of their success. Just remember, if you're not careful, you might come out with some missing parts!

The Characters

Eva

The leader of the investigation and co-founder of R. I. S. E, saying Eva is eccentric is downplaying it very hard. They do not seem to know what things like “Professionalism”, “Common decency” or “Personal Space” are, which may make it seem like they're an ill fit for leading such an organization, but don't be fooled. She's extremely smart and quick witted, and has proven to be an extraordinary leader and scientist.

Her projects and actions speak for themselves, which is good, because if she were to speak for them, they wouldn't have gotten any funding… Or anything in general

Lucifer

He is the Co-founder of R.I.S.E and in charge of the business side of the organization. With an elegant and educated demeanor, a silver tongue and sly smile, he makes his way around the business world with ease.

His honey-like words will have you lulled into a sense of security and confidentiality in a second. He'll carefully trace the path your mind will follow, and once you realize it, it will be too late and you'll see you're supporting a group of truly dangerous and deranged people.

But hey, you'll get a wink from him as he leaves to deal with it!

Maria Magdalena

The head of the genetics part of the research, Magdalena is an extremely shut in woman. She seems to be in her own world most of the time, talking to herself and rarely paying attention to what is happening in front of her. 

However, even if her constant resting bitch face tells you otherwise, she ADORES her job and her hobbies, and if you even mention something related to her interest, you'll be ready for a long, intensive, and almost violent rant that will leave your ears ringing. 

She'll then retrieve back into her shell, as all her social battery was used up, but hey, she works hard!

Abel

Age: 25

Gender: Cis Girl (She/Her)

Likes: Horror movies and books, sculpting, dressing up

Dislikes: Vegetables, doing nothing for too long

Abel, the anatomist of the research, is a young cheerful woman who loves her job more than anything else. She's always seen with a big smile (And I mean always) and a passion and enthusiasm to match that comes from a genuine love and interest in the human form, and her job.

She loves it so much in fact that it's weird to not see her in her work clothes! And yeah that is blood! Very fresh as you can tell from the vibrancy of it!

Does this scare off some investors? Sometimes, but she's one of R. I. S. E's best workers, so they don't stop her.

Cain

Age: 26

Gender: Agender (He/She/They)

Likes: Making music, cybergoth music, kids

Dislikes: People, attention, Abel

Cain is a robotics engineer whose knowledge on the field and pure work ethic (she never stops working) landed her on R. I. S. E extremely quickly, climbing up until he became one of the head researchers. 

You wouldn't know this by his attitude though. 

Cain always seems tired. They speak in a monotone yet somehow very annoyed voice, eats, showers and sleeps in hir lab and is rarely, if ever, seen smiling. He never seems enthusiastic about anything, and has to be dragged to do everything except her job. Thankfully, she has somewhat of a social life in there. Just not with humans

Teodoro

Age: 12

Gender: Cis Boy (He/Him)

Likes: Drawing, nature, video games

Dislikes: Heat, tight clothes, strong smells

Teodoro is R. I. S. E's first and only successful attempt at creating an immortal human by transporting his consciousness to a robotic vessel, tailored to look exactly like his original one, granting him with a never deteriorating body and immortality. However, the process was not perfect, as he lost all his memories, and has to be raised as a human yet again by the organization, whom have kept him to further their experiments and researches.

Apart from that he's a pretty normal 12 year old boy. A bit reserved maybe, always choosing to stay alone and listen to music. He doesn't reject social situations, but there's not many to be had in a lab where you are the subject. He tends to have trouble expressing or understanding emotions, but is trying his best to learn.

Post Team R.I.S.E. cooldown and fallout.

I've been left with a bunch of pokemon who need hopes. So they'll be up for adoption.

Others were taken in by different shelters.

Scorbunny... with no ears. I think his mama ate his when he was a baby. He will require special care as he can't radiate heat properly without his ears. -Adopted

Lapras: Seems nice enough and loves to sing -Adopted

Mimikyu: No records of it joining R.I.S.E. Probable stowaway. -Possibly Murderous

[volnixian]

i dont even want to know what is going on.

[ask-spamton-gpory-spamgon]

[sugarpasteltmnt]

i am currently catching up on neon void, and it is a delight to read. your descriptions of leo’s mind is mesmerizing and grabs the reader’s attention so well. it’s very diverse and unique compared to other interpretations and fics♥️

i’m curious to know what your thinking process was like while writing leo’s insanity and his own thought processes.

(spoilers for ch11) the scene that stuck out to me the most was when leo was about to infect donnie. it felt so vulnerable and raw ahh

anyways i just want to dig into your mind a little to know how it works.

keep up the great work, you are doing wonderful.

WAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭 you are so sweet thank you!! 💙💗‼️and ohmigosh what a fun ask.

tbh i sat on this one for a while to think of how to dive into it-- beware of my (VERY) long ramblings below!

this question really got me Thinkin' and i kinda popped off but!! If i may indulge myself, here's sort of a wild explanation of how i approach Leo's Insane Brain for this specific fic:

does it meet R.I.S.E???

R - Realistic? I - Interesting? S - Silly? E - Existential?

R - Realistic

"How the hell do i make this sound realistic" is often an obstacle i run into. but it's also the Secret Sauce. What really gives the thought process direction. Given Leo's current situation, he's battling between what he wants and what he needs to do. Which is often a very real problem real people have. Exaggerating it helps create a fun back-and-forth dialog that can make his thoughts seem muddled.

With Leo in this fic’s setup, there are about five main key factors i rely on with his decision making:

Happiness The root of Leo’s general personification. He’s the guy who beat Krang One. The one who escaped a place worse than Hell. After years of missing home so much he’s FINALLY home. He’s drunk on happiness. He was finally home. And that relief and joy is what makes him so jubilant and goofy.

Awareness of his goal Though Rise Leo is a very funny dude, he's still a Leonardo. Throughout the series, Leo is the voice of reason when things are getting out of hand or are potentially dangerous. Leo's had nothing but time to think. Wishing what he'd done different. Wishing he had been more serious. After five years obsessing over his mistake and missing his family, the moment he see's the opportunity to make sure this never happens again he'll latch onto it. And when the stakes are high, accentuating that tension can help with frantic impact of his thinking.

His desire to see his family This desire often clashes with point number 2. Writing his internal struggle between the two helps with the “overwhelmed thoughts” vibe. It’s hard for him to choose! And he doesn’t wanna have to choose! Playing out the conflict between his 'want' vs his 'need to do' helps me bring out his nervous thinking process.

He's self-reprimanding thoughts We all love an Angsty Leo. It was hinted in the show that he had some self-esteem issues, but who doesn't love ramping it up to 11 for a fic??? That, and he was trapped with Krang this whole time. After hearing he was nothing but trash for five years PLUS the guilt of nearly ending the world, the guy doesn't exactly see himself in a great light you know? This can help clash with point 1, again helping with that 'what he wants' vs 'what he needs to do' inner conflict.

Instinct to Survive / Feral Tendencies This one is super fun. I love feral AUs/tropes. With little to no socialization in the Prison Dimension, Leo's sanity started to slip, leaving his body's natural instincts to become more profound. Plus, with the Krang Parasite, I like to exaggerate how feral/dangerous he could be outside of 'turtle' instincts. (Seeing that parasite hosts in the movie were very violent). Sprinkling in feral moments is just a delicious thrill I love adding, and it makes the insanity factor skyrocket and it's so fun to write 🩵🩵🩵

I - Interesting

Is Leo's thought process interesting to read??? Honestly, I just gun for what I think is the most interesting; Leo's relationship with his brothers (especially Raph), and the cause and effects of his shenanigans.

Also, I liked to experiment with wonky texts to help emphasize key moments or words to grab attention. Mostly because it feels like a fun surprise to read them in my opinion. Though not necessary in writing, I thought using some funky fonts might entice and excite 💙

S- Silly

THE BIG ONE!!! EVERYONE'S FAVORITE!!! 🎉🎊🥳🎉 Something I really love love love about Rise's style is that it's silly It's unique! It's fun! I love that Leo and the others are goofy and have some slap-stick moments. And I wanted to keep that with Leo despite everything. Plus, I ADORE that in this iteration of TMNT, the characters are such showmen. They are DRAMATIC. They are SILLY. And that's something I wanna celebrate!! Plus, as much as I love angst, writing nothing but pure angst is exhausting. (And I'm sure reading pure angst isn't enjoyably to everyone.) Throwing in Silly moments is like a little moment of refreshment to me 🩵

I also like to believe that Leo kept his sense of humor out of sheer SPITE. The 'wipe that stupid grin off your face' line in the movie really stuck with me. I feel like Leo would smile through his fear and still be a clown just to spite Krang One.

E - Existential

At the end of the day, Leo is dealing with a VERY big issue. I felt like the Rise movie did an excellent job portraying the severity of an alien invasion for the setting Rise had. And the weight of the situation would be too great for one person. And this is often what I refer back to to make Leo snap. A relapse in clarity of mind. A moment for the panic and PTSD to come back in full force and make him rely on his instincts. Usually the feral instincts he became more attuned with while fleeing/fighting Krang One. It also goes hand-in-hand with his awareness of his goal (as mentioned in 'Realistic' above).

And that's kinda a word-vomit of how it goes!! Honestly??? The tug-o-war between conflicting thoughts helps me write the madness in his head. It's been super fun and interesting, and I hope it's been fun to read!!! (Though I'm telling you now I will NOT be doing those floating text tables again OOF)

Thank you again for the ask it was super fun to think about ;w; 🩵‼️

<another box arrives from R.I.S.E., this time it's 40 "wellness balls"> (ooc: wellness balls are in fact, inkay eggs) @riseteam

UHH?

[lavender-radio]

has anyone just. tried pranking team R.I.S.E back. like can someone that got hit with a box of 50 inkay eggs just glitterbomb the fuck out of their headquarters

[elite-four-rika]

<You are sent a courtesy bottle of R.I.S.E Kelp Tequila>

@riseteam

How the FUCK did you know my hotel's address

[official-raihan]

A box of R.I.S.E. brand Luvdisc Chocolates arrives with a <congradulations> note.

The chocolates writhe slightly and smell vaguly of a low tide at high summer sun.

@riseteam

I'm terrified for multiple reasons. These are going in the rubbish.

[mr-amar]

Don't poison your pokemon with chemiKILLS!

Only use R.I.S.E products on them.

R.I.S.E. for your peace of mind.

[subwaywardeningo]

Quick thing Ingo, you may have heard but don’t trust any products from the R.I.S.E. Corporation. It’s a bunch of ekans oil junk at best, and at worst literal Inkay eggs. No, really, that’s been uncannily common recently. Arezu and I have thankfully not been subject to that, but…others have.

Seriously, they tried to send some “pills” that were glorified bits of solid ink, and I now suspect the C.E.O. (Whatever that means) personally provided the ink.

Oh, yeah…they’re literally led by a Malamar…and an unintelligent one at that. Let’s just say they also have a prankster hoopa helping them (for the hoopa’s own amusement), so…yeah.

Thank you for the warning! I have yet to encounter anything of this nature, but I will keep my eyes on the tracks!

Though... Inkay eggs...? So this CEO is a Malamar and just... sending his eggs to people? I suppose that Malamar tend to lay quite a few eggs, but that seems a bit irresponsible. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know! I am sadly incapable of caring for any extra Pokemon at the moment, as Emmet and I are already caring for a total of 21 Pokemon between the two of us (mostly me) but I am sure that there are other things I can do!

[professor-mystic]

The next R.I.S.E. IDIOT to show up at my house... I'm gonna let my Great Tusk EAT you.
