You know I gotta ask about UwU April for the ask meme

Uh, it's actually not a meme-

It’s my initial doc for making my ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au. I brain storm on it and stuff. I world build on this one.

Sorry, it was initially supposed to be a self-insert fanfic for me and me alone. BUT then the Netherworld!Au struck me down.

I’m sorry it wasn’t all that meme worthy lol.

[dakotafinely]

Okay, okay, okay so something I thought of randomly for no reason other than I listened to a song and now I have an idea.

So, Leo, he wants to prove his the best right? I mean, take a look at all the episodes involving him beating his brothers/proving he’s better than his brothers.

So, somehow, some way, Leo does something in an attempt to beat/prove he’s better than his bro’s. Landing himself in the Netherworld, being lead by an OC (I haven’t fully developed one so just insert your own if you’d like) who has to help get him out of there before he’s fully dead. Meanwhile he’s brothers are finding a way to get into the Underworld to save their brother.

I imagine it involves Hueso a bit, like he explains what happened to Leo. Where the boy had landed himself, and what could happen if he stays there for to long. Right? Maybe Hueso even helps gather materials or whatever is needed to help the boys save their bro because he himself is a small bit attached to the stupid red eared slider. Heck maybe even Hueso being forced to help Leo hold the competition that got him in the Netherworld to begin with.

Anyways, apart of the journey for Leo is sort him being all like “Maybe I should stay here, cause I’m kinda useless when it comes to my bros.” or something like that okay. So, then, as all dramatic bits should be. OC sings “What I Know Now” from Betelgeuse to convince Leo that he should not stay if he’s still in any form of alive.

More shenanigans, a small bit of angst and panic. But a happy ending where OC waves Leo goodbye. And Leo treasures life a little bit more as a result.

Added bittersweet ending because we all know I’m a sucker for it. Leo visits OCs grave on the above world every now and again. Maybe even something said from OC about not being visited by the anymore.

Um, idk what I’d call this. Netherworld!AU? Oh! Or maybe Deadly!AU. Cause, ya know, it involves death and stuff. It’s really just a pun... I’d better stick with Netherworld!AU

[dakotafinely]

Why hello there! Welcome to my ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au: [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], [Part 5], [Part 6], [Part 7], [Part 8], [Part 9], & [Part 10]

Now with a part 11!!

Big Mama’s ex-husband has “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile” from Annie energy. Take that with what you will. I just see him being like that.

He died from a deal gone wrong. The Client was not happy with the end result and so he paid the price. Maybe it was Big Mama’s doing… maybe it wasn’t? Who’s to say?

Big Mama and her ex-husbands relationship was quite the evil couple. However, a part of BM’s ex-husband does wonder if she only married him for his wealth. He was the top dog millionaire back in the day. But of course, unless he goes back to the living, he’ll never know. 

He was, and still kinda is, in this deep entrance with Big Mama. For him, she was the love of his life. And he can’t see himself with anyone else ever again. No one else is as quiet as… fantastic as she is. Not to him.

He basically treated Big Mama like a queen. Drank “I love my wife” juice everyday fam. It’s up for debate whether or not you think this should be a healthy relationship or not. I do like that idea tho, them being in a healthy relationship and being an absolute POWERHOUSE together.

Big Mouthed Brenda got her nickname after she’d died. Because of how she died. She was always quite the gossiping suburban housewife. So all it took was telling the wrong person at the wrong time. Now, it is forever a reminder of her mistake. 

She was married to a man she can’t quite remember now. Unaware if her marriage was a loveless one or not. She tries not to think about it too much. 

She worked her way up the ladder with grit, sweat, and tears. Now that she practically runs her level of the Netherworld. She’s slightly hesitant on whether or not she wants to leave it. But the idea of running all of the mortal realm is enticing. So she plots and plans to get what she wants.

She is in fact a human if I haven’t cleared that up yet. Probably country too but idk if I’m feeling saucy I might make her a New Jersey-er instead. Leo realizes she’s from Jersey and is just like.

Leo, gesturing at BMBrenda: And this is why we don’t like New Jersey!

Einra, who isn’t paying attention, dragging Leo: Yeah, yeah, sure, we need to run Leo!

So, yeah, she’s from New Jersey now and nothing will convince me otherwise.

Now is also a good time to tell you, I’ve never lived in either New York or New Jersey. Is that thing Leo does a real thing between people from Jersey and New York or? 

[dakotafinely]

ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au: [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], [Part 5], [Part 6], [Part 7], & [Part 8]

Gothic Hunter Stuff ‘cause I feel like I should do one for them. I mean, I think they’d need some background ya know? [Trigger Warning: Suicide, mention of torture, death]

Name: Unknown

Alias: Gothic Hunter / Ghost

Race: Yokai; Rat-octopus (Ratopus? Octorat?)

Height: 5’7

Age of Death: 27

Life Span: 1832 - 1859

Sexuality: Pansexual

Cause of Death: Suicide

Synopsis: Gothic Hunter was actually quite popular back in their time. Hired by many who wanted a quick and silent job done. They also free-lanced against bigger fish for bigger prize money. However, this did eventually backfire when Gothic Hunter began to slowly attract the unwanted attention of those they hunted. So when a large gang came after them for killing their leader it shouldn’t have come to a surprise. It was between getting caught and tortured and then killed or killing themselves as a less painful way out. 

Level: Bad

More About Them:

They had a little kid that was only a couple years younger than Mikey. His name was Dajuan and he had the same attitude and personality as Mikey does. Gothic Hunter doesn’t know it, but they see Mikey as the kid they never got to raise.

If they ever had a chance, they would’ve ended up a painter instead of Bounty Hunter. They had a natural skill for it. Plus they, despite wearing only black all the time, have a love for bright colors.

Gothic Hunter was buried deep in the Forest seen in “Raph’s Ride-Along” however the name has faded away and the gravestone is broken apart. Left forgotten forever in the forest.

Because of how long it’s been, aside from knowing they were a bounty hunter, Gothic Hunter has no recollection of who they once were. A part of them is afraid of remembering, in case they remember something horrible.

They’re very much a “bottle my feelings and just get things done” type of person. Mikey slowly opens them up and now they’re like “I would KILL to protect this child” and honestly, same. They are very organized and have a schedule they follow every day. Until Mikey comes along at least.

I was obviously inspired to draw them similar to Dastardly Danny. I wanted to show their eyes but the way I drew the hat made that impossible without making the hat look weird and it’s the first time I’ve ever drawn a COWBOY HAT AND-

I have no idea if this is a good cross between Gothic and country. It was like, way out of my comfort in art abilities. A lot of firsts with this one.

Their uh, idk what would you call it, death mark? Anyways, it’s covered by their hat so it’s not easily seen like some others are.

So yeah, I’ve been working on this and it’s stalled some of my posting stuff but its all good. You’ll be seeing more of this real soon!!

Also, power to artist who do this a lot. Like, ya’ll have a power I do not.

[dakotafinely]

Yello! Me again! Adding more to my Rottmnt Netherworld!Au!!

[Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], & [Part 4] if you haven’t see them yet! Making this part 5!! Let’s Go!

So, whos all in the race to steal Barry and Leo’s lives? Let’s see. 

I like the idea of Big Mama being married, then widowed, before she meets Splinter. So let’s say another Spider Yokai who wants to see his wife again. Not that he’s a good guy, I’d put him in Worse level. Which, yes, means that’s where he was.

Brenda, aka Big Mouthed Brenda. No relation to Loose Lips Malinowski. I mean, how else is everyone in the Netherworld to know? She knows all and sees all, think Mafia-run. A small little thug from Bad gave her the news and now she’s on the hunt.

The Gothic Bounty Hunter wasn’t really interested cause they knew everyone would be after Leo & Barry when Big Mouthed Brenda got involved. But now that Mikey’s here? Someone no one else knows is alive but them? Oh yeah, things got real. More of a silent player in the game. 

Team Razzo, a band of Italian low teeter thieves. They were in Good through years of the reformation. But it all went out the window the moment they heard about Leo and Barry. But their not a serious threat, more of a bit of comic relief.

Both BMBrenda and Big Mama’s ex-husband have groups of people who work for them. Whether because they own them something or because they’re dedicated. Kinda rivals? The ex-husband doesn’t really see BMBrenda as a threat, but he should.

I need a name for him… I would go with “Big Pops” or “Big Papa” but neither of those feels right for him. Idk, I’ll brainstorm it. Feel free to add your own suggestions tho!!

[dakotafinely]

Back at it again with the Netherworld!AU-ROTTMNT[Part 1] and of course [Part 2] which makes this lucky number three!!

Is number 3 actually lucky or-

Only one of the turtles can go in and get Leo. Because they have to have at least three people man the portal back to the living.

It ends up being Mikey on accident. They were initially going to send Donnie in cause he’d be the best at tracking Leo down (twins ya know?) but Mikey fell down and the other two couldn’t chase after him cause then the portal wouldn’t be able to open back up.

Mikey gets stuck in Bad just like Leo & Barry had, but I’d assume by now those two are long gone. Mikey doesn’t get a guide, mostly because he doesn’t really need one. Instead, he just travels through, asking about a turtle and a sheepman. Because his personality is naturally a lively one most people actually assume he’s dead but very extra when they encounter him. So he doesn’t have as much trouble passing through undetected by the dead.

A goth bounty hunter agrees to help him track down his brother and Barry. Mikey is unaware however, the hunter is still doing it for a form of fee. And that is to take Mikey’s place when they all attempt to go through to the mortal realm. (Read the fine print of contracts you sign kids) 

The dead themselves obviously look dead, stuck in the physical age they died. They can clean up but the wounds they had right before they died forever remain. They can change out of the clothes they died in, but it varies from person to person on whether or not they do it. 

It’s an extremely long process for the dead to upgrade to Lovely to get reincarnated. Hence why anyone who realizes Barry and Leo aren’t dead are ready to keep them here in order to go to the living. It’s much easier to go and relive life enough to at least enter Good and live in comfort there.

Maybe because OC helped Leo and Barry, whatever fate thing decides where someone goes gives OC a chance to reincarnate or reside in Lovely. Goth bounty hunter doesn’t get the same thing because though they did help Mikey, they attempted to make it at a cost. In which they get sent to Bad once again.

Speaking of which. I have no idea how Mikey gets out of his “payment” thing. Maybe he gives ‘em a bag of lifesavers or something as a loophole. Maybe it’s Leo who does it cause he’s the pun man. Idk, I could see Rise pulling something like that.

Also, fairly certain I’m making the Hunter a Yokai. Because no one can stop me.

So like, it takes about five days before someone is forever stuck in the Netherworld. Their body slowly begins to shut down, and they are fine until their heart stops as well. Then they’re stuck there. The heart is the last thing to shut down in the entire process. You probably wouldn’t even really feel it until it gets to your lungs and heart. Like, a sharp and unease pain in your body. Then a boom, you’re officially dead.

[dakotafinely]

Oop- time for some more of my ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au: [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], [Part 5], [Part 6], [Part 7], [Part 8], [Part 9], [Part 10], [Part 11], & [Part 12] 

Introducing! Part 13!

Mikey ends up painting a mural in honor of Gothic Hunter in the Hidden City. No one knows it’s him who did it, or who they are. But he put Rest in Peace next to the painting and every now and again little children leave flowers or little offerings they find in front of it. It’s in a quiet and soft area because he knows Gothic Hunter would like it. 

Gothic Hunter, upon meeting Leo for the first time: Don’t come back here

Leo: Fair

Gothic Hunter isn’t much of a talker but that’s alright because, to them it seems, Mikey doesn’t know the meaning of quiet. At first it annoys them to no end. But as they warm up to him, they enjoy his neverending voice. He rambles about almost nothing but Gothic Hunter listens to every word.

Mikey, rambling about Barry and the Oozesquitos: So, yeah and-

Gothic Hunter, to themselves: This, this is my son now.

Upon meeting Einra, someone who is basically a mixture of Leo and Mikey, basically adopts her on the spot. Yeah, uh, Einra is not sure how she feels about it. She kinda just rolls with it.

Einra vibes with Mikey almost as soon as they meet. Both are energetic and very loving children. She tries out all the jokes Leo told her out on him, he laughs politely but secretly glares at his older brother because he knows this child got all these jokes from him.

Leo grins like an idiot every time she tells a joke he gave her.

Gothic Hunter and Barry vibe under the category of “This happy sunshine child opened me up and now I’m a bit of a softy but I hide it cause I’m a bada-” and you cannot change my mind. 

Gothic Hunter met Leo and now it all made sense on how the entire Netherworld had found out so quickly that there were two living people around. This kid is just, absolutely disastrous and that’s probably where Mikey gets his chaotic energy from. 

Leo, accidentally revealing their location bc he saw Mikey w/ Gothic Hunter: MIKEY!?

Gothic Hunter, upon seeing Leo do this and immediately get chased down: Oh God, he’s stupid *Pulls out crossbow to save him*

It’s actually a bit of an emotional reunion of these brothers because it feels like a lifetime has gone by since they’ve seen each other. They hug for a like, a solid minute while Gothic Hunter, Barry, and Einra are fighting people off.

Einra: Hey, I love a family reunion as much as anybody! But, uh, we need to move!

Both Leo and Mikey, tears in their eyes, words overlapping: Yeah, okay, yeah no that’s a good idea.

[dakotafinely]

ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au: [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], [Part 5], & [Part 6]!

Wow... this is getting a lot of parts for an idea I made from a musical number. Anyways, here some more stuff about the Au! I hope this makes sense cause I tried my best!

Leo forever has a scar on the bottom of his right foot. And a few cuts that’ll leave a scar from the adventure. As well as a few shell cracks because where else will I get some solid angst from ya know?

Mikey has an imprint forever on his left shoulder the design of the marking they used from the way the turtle bro’s ft. Hueso did the ritual. Which is the actual proper way. It’s supposed to be a form of identification in case they don’t recognize the person they sent in.

This was from years ago when people, mainly Yokai, figured out there was a Netherworld. Where many who had lost someone would go in to see them. Or potentially save them, this ritual eventually stopped when people had begun to realize they could not save their loved ones. With too much pain upon seeing them again.

It had been banned by the Council ages ago. However many still teach how to do the ritual as a tradition, or form of “becoming a man/woman/adult” passing. Though the portals were never activated in these rituals.

Whilst humans had lost the art in passing time.

It’s Yokai tradition for families to teach their children the ritual as a “right of passage” into adulthood. Believed to bless with a better life and a happy peaceful death. 

It varies from family to family when the child changes into an adult. Ages 18-20. If the child in question can make the symbol perfectly with the materials gathered if the portal was activated. Then they pass.

Children are put together in groups of three. So say like three different families group together and the kids have to work together. If one kid fails, they all do. Most kids choose their groups, others are pre-assigned. It’s purely dependent upon the parent’s choice.

Materials:

Chalk, preferably a dark red or blue however any is accepted

An 8inch wooden plank

4 homemade candles (each child must bring one)

A lighter

A loose-leaf paper that must be completely blank

Pen, any color other than black

The symbol itself is the hardest part. The intricate and extremely tiny details can make it almost seem impossible to do correctly on the first try. It also must be done from memory, the kids themselves having to take separate time to study if the right of passage is upcoming. 

They must make two separate symbols. One on the floor, the other on the loose-leaf paper. Both are studied by the examiners to see the details for accuracy. The paper can be done again, but if the chalk symbol is messed up, they fail the test.

[dakotafinely]

ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au: [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], [Part 5], [Part 6] & [Part 7]

OC Stuff because I gotta develop ‘em eventually right? This kinda gets dark so read at own risk I guess. [Trigger Warning: Gruesome death, suicide mention, cars killing people, a bad pun]

Name: Einar Bush

Race: Human; Filipino/White

Height: 5’2 ½ 

Age of Death: 14

Life Span: 1998 - 2012

Sexuality: Aro/Ace

Cause of Death: High-speed Collision

Synopsis: Einar didn’t have what you could call the worst life. A mother who loved her, a younger brother who looked up to her. A few good friends that would’ve probably been ones for life. However, it seems as if all good things come to an end too soon. As Einar ran out into an extremely busy highway to chase one of her friend’s younger siblings. Successfully getting them off the road by shoving them onto the grass. Only to be hit by a large semi-truck and killed almost instantly. Her memory lives on as a memorial was placed in the place where she was hit.

Level: Bad - It was considered for a time if that’s where she should land. And after much consideration, the Council decided that she knew it was a suicide mission.

More About Her: 

Extremely sassy and sarcastic, also very tired. She’s very passionate about things and it takes almost nothing to get her fired up and going. She loves puns and theater. She runs on nothing other than the desire to sleep and passion. She’s extremely good at baking and wanted to start her own bakery before her death.

She doesn’t know anything about professional fighting but learned how to street fight fairly well. Cares around a set of brass knuckles she found upon arriving in the Netherworld. 

She still gets nightmares where she gets hit by the truck, but this time instead of instantly dying, she’s awake and withering in pain. However the dreams are extremely rare in passing (get it cause- cause she passed away? *clears throat* anyway-) She’s buried now at a New York cemetery, her family had moved to Florida sometime in 2016, and her graves have been untouched since. 

I’m staking it now, she wants to help the bois from the goodness in her heart and nothing else. She’s a very transparent person, can’t act to save her life.

I was going to just sketch of her as an idea of what she looked like. But uh, I got to into drawing her. So, here’s an idea of what she’ll look like.

So, yeah, it took me forever to get it where I’d like the picture. So, more power to artists who art all the time. I could never. Like, seriously, all ya’ll artist have a will power I only desire.

[dakotafinely]

ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au: [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], & [Part 5]

This is part six! And you’re def gonna wanna read through to know what I’m talking about in this one, so yeah.

-Enjoy-

Mikey and the Gothic Hunter relationship is summed up as:

Gothic Hunter, pulling out the dual blades, dope with boss vibes: Someone will die.

Mikey, ruining the vibe but being a ray of sunshine: Of fun!

Gothic hunter is equipped with dual blades and a crossbow. They’re from the 1800s around the time Bounty Hunters were very prevalent. They’ve forgotten their own name. So Mikey frequently calls them Ghost.

They’re a Yokai crossbreed of rat and octopus. They wear metal gloves and when they take them off their arms become tentacles, similar to meat sweats. But they don’t absorb people like him, they don’t have that ability. The tentacles are very strong though, and they use them often to throw people far away. They can also spray ink from their nose, but it’s uncomfortable and stings so they never use it. 

Mikey, watching Gothic Hunter throw a member of Razzo: Yeet

Gothic Hunter, who’s never heard a meme or vine ever: What’d you say Fireball?

Oh yeah, Gothic Hunter calls him Fireball because of his weapon. Also because he started calling them Ghost so they felt like they needed to return the favor.

Gothic Hunter doesn’t remember much of their old life before the Netherworld. But Mikey reminds them of someone they can’t place. Maybe it’s OC? Maybe it's someone Gothic Hunter loved before. Who knows? 

Wow, okay now Gothic Hunter does get a bit attached to Mikey along the journey of hunting down his brother and Barry. But when a contract is signed, there’s no way to edit it. It’s not like Big Mama where you can change the agreement at the last second. 

They begin sabotaging themselves in order to let the contract become void. But Mikey, bless his soul, refuses to let that happen. He’s unaware of all the terms in the agreement, and Gothic Hunter doesn’t want to tell him cause they’re bad at all this feeling stuff.

Plus he’s the one person they’ve met that is really sweet and nice and optimistic and they don’t want to ruin that. They just... can’t. So when Leo hands them the Lifesaver bag they laugh. The agreement being fulfilled.

Gothic Hunter, smiling at Mikey with the bag in hand, a small tear down their face: This’ll do Fireball, I’ll see you in the next life ‘kay?

Mikey, tears down his face because he baby, giving Gothic Hunter one last hug: Of course

Big oof, made myself cry thinking up that scene.

Also, is it obvious yet that I’ve made Gothic Hunter someone who’s very Country yet? Why? Idk, it kinda just happened and now we here and I’m not changing it so… yeah.  Also, they’re non-binary. I’d like to imagine that Yokai isn’t weird about gender like humans are. So Gothic Hunter is a non-binary who only uses they/them pronouns. Yup, cool.

[dakotafinely]

Oh, what’s this? A part 4 to my Rottmnt Netherworld!Au? Wow, shoulda seen this comin’!

[Part 1], [Part 2], & [Part 3] for your viewing pleasure!

Things I forgot to mention about the Netherworld:

All the levels are connected in a spiraling staircase. Each entrance to every level guarded by two beings. One of pure light the other is either wood, stone, or water. Neither really speak they just stand guard at the entrances, fairly ominous.

They potentially know all and see all. No one is really sure because they stopped Bethany from charging into Lovely a week ago but they let this weird trio made of a turtle, sheepman, and someone who’s been in Bad for a while through with ease. And again, they don’t talk.

They don’t help or harm anyone, they just kinda… exist. But they’re very good at their jobs. Everyone says they can’t be defeated, or that they never have been. But some will always try.

They’re also the ones who bring newcomers. Not the ones guarding the door, but the beings of whatever species they are. The messenger ones are a bit more friendly, not much more talkative but they don’t actively freak you out by just… doing nothing, ever.

It’s can be a very long climb, or a very short one. It’s actually dependent on how the person believes the staircase would be. Very, very long? Short little trip? The staircase will adjust to fit your idea.

Also, there are whispers around the stairs. Some say its from people who fell off the staircase, others just say its a mind trick. But the voices always whisper your darkest fears, secrets, and insecurities. Practically begging you to jump off the stairs…

Lovely is the only place that has the ability to bring people back to living. As well as the reincarnation stations. Which are large train like stations. You can easily walk into at any time to take a one-way ticket back to the living. 

Those who are living, if they can make it to Lovely, go to a small, sort of abandon looking, house far from anyone residing. 

On the Netherworld side, you open the door. Signaling with bright colors to those on the portal side, and they open it up and pull you out. Then boom, your back with the living.

Again, anyone can take your place if your one of the living. As long as they can fool or persuade those on the other side of the portal. No one ever mentions this part of the escape, so everyone believes its as easy as opening the door as long as those living are still in the Netherworld.

If you attempt to kill someone in the Netherworld, it just won’t work. Even those living will just not be harmed enough to die. However, you can beat someone within an inch of their “life” even if they’re already dead. It just won’t kill them.

Spoiler alert there is a way to defeat the guards. You have to be able to push them off the stairs. 

It… doesn’t kill them? No one has ever been sure how the stairs work, but it got rid of the guards at one post the others will leave their posts as if they’ve been alerted to what just happened.

One must wonder, when the guards leave, who will keep people in their level?

Yeah, needless to say, this is how everyone from Worse, Horrible, and maybe even Bad begin racing after Leo and Barry to steal their place.

Maybe Leo accidentally knocks one off the stairs? Or maybe it’s Barry begin too chaotic and impatient he knocks one off with his vine powers. Maybe it’s one of the Villains who really, really want to get back to the living land to continue where they’d left off.

Speaking of villains…

[dakotafinely]

ROTTMNT Netherworld!Au: [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], [Part 5], [Part 6], [Part 7], [Part 8], [Part 9], [Part 10], & [Part 11]!!

Wow, I wasn’t expecting to actually fully flesh this out. But now that I’m doing it I’m not gonna stop. Might even make some comic strips or something lol. Idk, we’ll see.

Now for part 12!!

Enira is extremely wary of Barry and is slightly uncomfortable around him. Something about him sends an alarm off in her head. However, Leo reminds her of her best friend back in the day so those two almost immediately get along like a house fire.

Leo, walking and tripping over everything, sliding Einra a singular penny: Well hello, might someone like you know your way around a place like this.

Einra, to herself, watching Leo do this: Ah yes, this one, I will adopt this one.

He makes Einra laugh a lot. Which surprises him since we all know how his brothers feel about his one liners. But they make Einra crack up everytime.

It’s so bad that Leo almost thinks she’s purposefully overdoing it to make him feel better. Until she tells him this joke:

Einra: Hey, hey Leo! Knock knock!

Leo: Who's there?

Einra, snickering: Cow goes.

Leo: Cow goes who?

Einra, cackling: Jokes on you! Cow’s go Moo!

Then he just realizes, this childs humor is just… like, horrifically random and terrible and his humor is probably the best thing she’s heard in a long time. Or just, ever. So he takes time to teach her every single one liner and pun he can before he leaves.

And Barry’s just… in his own set of torture.

I can’t decide if he just doesn’t get puns. Like they go over his head. Or if the guy just hates puns. Just, like, thinks they're horrible. Either way, he does not like the punny duo. 

Both Leo and Einra talk about their families. Just, because it fills the time. Einra is captivated at the description and personality analysis of Leo’s brothers. Leo is just absorbing every detail about Einra’s family after realizing she died not that long ago, and in New York no less. 

He leaves purple lilies at her grave every now and again because that’s her favorite color, and favorite flower.

Einra, rambling: Yeah, I’ve always loved lilies, not sure why. And, obviously, I love purple.

Leo, nodding: Yeah, yeah, nice. Good flower choice, effy on the color choice.

She laughs and lightly wacks his arm. And the moment passes, but the details stay in his brain.

They move forward.
