[audio] Enter the turtle

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[Okay, he is really feeling weirded out right now and he wishes he could explain all this away, but for now it looked like he had to play along with what was going on. And what was going on was really super weird.

Right, do a call out for his brothers, find out if he is alone in this, maybe find out who is behind it? Did the Kraang find a way to stick him in a video game?]

Um... Hello? Leo, Raph, Donnie? Anyone around? It's Mikey.

Something really weird is going on. If this is a joke it isn't funny.

It's not a joke, didn't you pay any attention at all. You are a Chosen Child, you are my partner and here to help save both the digital world and the real world. Really, I thought my Chosen Child was a bit brighter than this.

Hey! I listened! I just... didn't think it was real. I still don't think it's real.

I heard that.

So? What do I care if you hear me... you... you...

What is your name?

I am Salamon, but since I'm not the only Salamon if you want you can give me a name to go by.

I get to name you?

Yes...?

I have to think on this, it needs to be a good name.

[strengthinkindness]

Oh hey! You're one of Donnie's brothers!

[audio]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

You know Donnie? and uh... yeah, I am. Michelangelo... but seriously, most people call me Mikey.

[Of course most people being his brothers and April, as opposed to Master Splinter and Leatherhead who call him his full name... or called, in the case of Latherhead.]

[Video]

[bigsoftie]

Really? This is the guy he's been going crazy about...?

[Call Impmon unimpressed.]

[Video]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[A little bit of fumbling and he gets the video on, though from Salamon being so close to the screen it's obvious he showed him the right button to push.]

Who's been going crazy about me?

Is it a good crazy or bad crazy?

Mikey! That's not an appropriate thing to say.

Whaaat? I just meant... is it good or bad?

[Audio]

[brain_behind_purple]

[Donnie had been up packing things, he was about to move apartments and he wanted to have everything ready. As he was packaging, his D-Terminal played the audio clip of Mikey. The former turtle froze in his tracks as he heard it, recognizing the voice instantly.]

That voice... was that... oh man! [He instantly dropped the parts that were in his hands into the box before running to his desk. He needed to be for sure that this was who he thought it was.]

Mikey? Mikey, it's Donnie! Is that really you? Are you alright?!

[Audio]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

DONNIE! You're here! Thank goodness. This is gonna sound totally weird but... I'm a human now. [The last part is said in a whisper as if it was some kind of huge secret.]

Who is Donnie, Mikey?

Huh? Oh he's one of my brothers! The smartest of my brothers.

[audio]

[didntknowwasthere]

Hey, you have my name!

[That's all that matters to him really.]

[audio]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Really? Is your's short for Michelangelo too?

[Video]

[happiestberry]

Donnie... you know donnie? Does that mean you're someone he knows from home?

[Video]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[After a short moment his video turns on to respond, since he thinks that's the better way to do this.]

Do I know Donnie? I know him like family do~!

He's my bro!

[Audio]

[robotfightclub]

[Huh. That voice happens to sound very familiar. Almost like...]

This is out of nowhere, but you wouldn't happen to know Leatherhead ...would you?

[Audio]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Huh? Yeah, I know Leatherhead, he's my best friend.

[A small pause before he says anything else, though he sounds somewhere between suspicious and curious when he does.]

You know him? How do you know him?

[Video]

[hot_dawg]

WE GET TO NAME THEM!?

[He looks back at his Kamemon, absolutely betrayed.]

Why didn't you tell me this!?

Because I was trying to explain everything else!

[Video]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[His video pops on after a moment.]

Dude, you got jipped. Not being told something super important like that!

How is that super important, but why you are here isn't?

Because naming things is super important! It's like... a rite of passage or something.

I don't think that's how those things work.

[video]

[trainsurdragons]

[Ok, he's fairly certain he heard the names Donnie and Leatherhead uttered just then. Mikey, Donnie told him about Mikey. The youngest of his three brothers.]

Mikey. You're Donnie's little brother, aren't you?

[As if he hasn't probably been told that a MILLION times by now. Mikey might find it odd, however, that this particular Chosen doesn't seem to have his partner with him.
At least....not right now.]

[video]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Thaaaat's right~! He must'a said a lot about me!

If it was anything bad it wasn't true though.

[Because he is the best, right? Right.]

You a friend of Donnie's?

[Video]

[for_granite]

[Oh, new arrivals. That time of the month, so it seems.]

You sound just like my... Uh, never mind. Sorry, it's real as it gets.

[Video]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

I sound like who?

Yeah... I'm kind of catching on to that... well there are worse things that could be happening.

[wall_flower]

...Michelangelo...

[Donnie's brother. And Leatherhead's friend...

She makes sure her D-Terminal is on video and smiles brightly at the screen, in spite of things that have transpired already today.]

Hello! My name is Marley. I know your brother, Donatello, and Leatherhead.

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Woah... You must know Donnie if you know my full name.

[A moment later his own video flickered on after the statement, showing the brightly smiling teen boy.]

Are you their friend?

[He figured it was a reasonable question.]

[acceptedburden]

I did not think I should give a name at first, but it seems to be the common trend and after awhile she insisted.

[Kaldur is on the screen and Gizamon is poking her head in as usual. She frowns.]

Well, duh, I was one of like three other digimon without a cool name. I'm cool so I had to have a name to go with it.

I am sure you can come up with something good.

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Dude, giving names is an important task! But... you got to be careful, names should fit! So sometimes it takes some time to pick the right one.

[Salamon has ended up on Mikey's shoulder, resting comfortably there for the moment while she looks at the screen.]

I will be sure to come up with something great! Thanks.

Hi, I'm Mikey.

[video]

[trimmedback]

[Turtle? Meet lizard. Okay, she looks mostly human, but there's a long lizard tail curled in front of her, Wormmon clinging to it.]

Do humans often perform bodily alterations for a joke.

[There's no inflection in her voice at all. It may be slightly unsettling.]

[video]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[Mikey smiles at her, barely blinking at the tail that he sees.]

I don't know, maybe? But I don't think this is anything normal anyway.

Time for the voice twins to meet~

[changelingdude]

DUDE! Are you Donnie's brother?!

Woot

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

I am... DUDE! You sound like me or I sound like you!

That is so awesome!

[audio]

[woodenstarfish]

Starfishmon! [And on the line is a girl and her Penguinmon.]

I know she's trying to help, but don't pay attention to her suggestions.

I give very good nicknames.

Is that why I rejected all of your suggestions so far?

[audio]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Hmmm, she really doesn't look like a starfish...

I won't be responding to starfishmon, so don't even think about it Mikey.

Are you great at giving names too?

video

[guilmon]

Guilmon heard that if you pinch yourself, that's a good way to tell if you're dreaming.

[He giggles. And yes, this is a Digimon using a comm device solo; his Tamer isn't with him, sadly.]

But it's real! I guess it's strange being here if you're not used to Digimon, but don't worry. We don't bite!

video

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

[Taking the advice Mikey gives himself a pinch.]

Oww, I guess that proves it.

I hope not, I don't like being bitten.
