Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:29 PM
Why are my Raph and Mikey muted and why am I getting assaulted for it

bōnk » Kaiju Today at 11:29 PM
Raph derailed from the teamnames conversation
And Mikey needed to not enter Sage Mode, whatever that means

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:29 PM
Valid
Next question: why has half the server been muted?

bōnk » Kaiju Today at 11:30 PM
They also derailed from the teamnames conversation
It seemed to be going into chaos territory so I acted quickly

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:30 PM
Can't say I blame you in the slightest

Bootyshaker9500 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:30 PM
I am curious
What are they doing to you that you might consider it assault?

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:30 PM
Raph's throwing yarn balls at my head from the other side of the room
Mikey is muttering in Krang dialect about the great cosmos or whatever

bōstaffsrcool » Isekai Today at 11:30 PM
And Leo?

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:30 PM
Pointedly ignoring everything by hiding in the kitchen

Bootyshaker9500 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:31 PM
Where is Raph getting the yarn balls from??

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:31 PM
His yarn basket
He was knitting just before this but now he's just using them as ammo to throw at my head

Booytshaker9500 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:31 PM
Oh
I see

bōstaffsrcool » Isekai Today at 11:31 PM
I have to ask
Where in the world did your Mikey learn Krang dialect?

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:31PM
Mostly Dimension X
He's been a surprisingly great help in having Krang scripts deciphered

Bootyshaker9500 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:31 PM
May I inquire about your Mikey speaking Kraang?

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:31 PM
He mostly learned it while in Dimension X - more commonly known as the Krangs home dimension
It's a long story that I won't go into for my own sake, but he's spent a significantly longer amount of time there than any of us
Somehow he learned their language during his... "stay" there and Bishop has helped him refine it

Bootyshaker9500 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:32 PM
...I shall pin this subject to divulge in on a later date

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:32 PM
Oookay?

bōnk » Kaiju Today at 11:32 PM
Can I question your Mikey to see if Krang scriptures match up across the multiverse?

Donniepedia » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:32 PM
Of course

Nightwatcher Today at 11:32 PM
so only our team still needs a teamname then im assuming

bōstaffsrcool » Isekai Today at 11:33 PM
Yes

Nightwatcher Today at 11:33 PM
k
howre we gonna do that when half the server is muted

bōnk » Kaiju Today at 11:33 PM
You're gonna get stuck with a bad teamname then

Nightwatcher Today at 11:33 PM
nothing is worse than being named team daddy issues or team boomer
cant quite decide which i dislike more

Michelangelo » Cowaboomers Today at 11:34 PM
dont you mean team cowaboomer

Nightwatcher Today at 11:34 PM
yeah sure whatever

𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚝𝚘𝚠𝚗 🌻 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:34 PM
team skittles

Nightwatcher Today at 11:34 PM
not what i had in mind but sure

bōnk » Kaiju Today at 11:34 PM
You actually want to be team Skittles?

Nightwatcher Today at 11:34 PM
anything is better than some of the teamnames on this server
plus, the baby suggested it

Help the Desk (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ Today at 11:34 PM
Softie

Nightwatcher » Skittles Today at 11:35 PM
stfu before i chuck mikeys blender at your setup

Help the Desk (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ » Skittles Today at 11:35 PM
Don't you fucking dare
I am not beneath ratting you out

Nightwatcher » Skittles Today at 11:35 PM
fuck

bōnk » Kaiju Today at 11:35 PM
lol
I have to know what kind of blackmail you got

Help the Desk (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ » Skittles Today at 11:36 PM
I'll tell you in the Donnie channel

bōnk » Kaiju Today at 11:36 PM
Yes please
I'll spill some of mine to even the deal

Leonardo » Cowaboomers Today at 11:36 PM
Sometimes I can't tell if this multiverse server was a good idea or not

Cpt. Fearless » Shell-Shocked Today at 11:36 PM
Because of the Donnies?

Leonardo » Cowaboomers Today at 11:36 PM
Because of the Donnies

Donatello » Cowaboomers Today at 11:36 PM
I'm just glad everyone has a teamname now
As long as it doesn't happen too fast, the server can have more teams joining for all I care

Leo » Kaiju Today at 11:37 PM
please don't jinx it
I would very much like to keep my sanity

Hype Man » Kaiju Today at 11:37 PM
what youve got left of it anyway

Leo » Kaiju Today at 11:37 PM
shut up

Bootyshaker9500 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:39 PM

𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚝𝚘𝚠𝚗 🌻 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:39 PM

Bootyshaker9500 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:42 PM
Leo absolutely hates it when you do that and it is a very entertaining sight to behold each time

𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚝𝚘𝚠𝚗 🌻 » Mad Dogs Today at 11:42 PM

Notes:

Announcement!

This will be added to the endnote with the changelog after chapter 9 (and worded in a much shorter way!)

As some may know, I don't have a lot of time or energy to work on this fic. This is not me telling you I'm gonna quit writing this chatfic, because I am not. I have a lot in store for it so like hell am I tossing this aside. (I did end up tossing Champion of the Battle Nexus in the bin, though, sorry 💔 That's gonna be on indefinite hiatus)

Anywho o/

A week or so ago I received a comment asking where I was and if I was okay. I am! Still alive and kicking! I work in a supermarket, 4 to 6 days a week with 8 to 10h days :,) AKA I am tired. Finding out this fic isn't dead and occasionally receiving comments and reading your bookmark notes is like a little revival spell <3

But! That's! Not! What! I'm! Here! For! In my reply to the same comment, I also said I am spending any energy and spare time I get on a not-so-secret-anymore also-turtle-related project. Thought I'd make it fair to everyone reading this fic and mention it here as well. Even though I probably shouldn't. Said project is currently dubbed "TMNT: Project Keratin", and that's all I'm gonna spill about it. Yes, it's coming to AO3. In a year or two, probably.

I wanna word vomit about it. So bad. I need to restrain myself. I WANNA TALK ABOUT IT SO BAD (╥﹏╥) *tiny squid screaming into the void*

See you in the next chapter! Love you guys <3333
