themainframe | 1st Transmission [Video]

[The screen flickers a bit before static pops up. The static slowly clears until the image of a pair of brown eyes with a purple bandana wrapped around it appears, a few locks of brown hair over the mast. The screen moves in a few directions before beuing oulled back and revealing the full face of the teenage boy holding it.]

Hmm... It looks like I was able to get some kind of video feed working.

[A small bluish-green turtle pops up next to the boy, a yellow ball inside it's plastron and a blue helmet covering the top of it's head.]

Really? That's great Donnie! That means that anyone else with a D-Terminal can see you!

I figured as much Kamemon. Hmm... Now if only I could figure out if this can send a video back to my world. Or at least see if someone can explain to me how the heck I got here and how the heck I got turned into a human.

Why? You don't like being a human? Sooo... What were you before?

[Sighs] As I tried to explain to you before, I was a turtle like you... well sort of anyways. But now I'm human and I ended up being sent into some weird world that is nothing like New York, and I have no way of figuring out how to get home! It's just too confusing!

[The screen shakes a bit due to Donnie freaking out, causing the D-Terminal to shake a bit. It quickly settles back down once Kamemon steadie's Donnie's arms]

Whoa, whoa Donnie, chill! Freaking out is just going to mess you up.. Just take a deep breath Donnie, deep breath.

[The screen shows Donnie taking a huge deep breath before his facial features relax.]

Okay, okay, feeling calm now. Still confused, but calm.

There you go! Sorry guys, Donnie can... over-react sometimes. But don;t worry, he's not a bad guy... usually.

What is that supposed to mean?!

Threaded | Flat

...You were...a turtle?

[Hiccup would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. He's not trying to be mean either. It's a legitimate question.
Gomamon lets out a low whistle, dropping his head on Hiccup's shoulder as he eyes Donnie curiously.]

First girls with wings and dudes with tails, and now this? ...The Chosen are just gettin' weirder and weirder.

If transmissions were possible across dimensions I believe someone would have mentioned it by now. Then again, perhaps the attempt has not been made yet.

[He can't imagine it would be easy. He's...curious about the turtle thing, but considering some of his friends look like they were mixed with various sea animals it's actually not as disturbing to him as you would think.]

I wonder if the alteration of appearance is tied to those of us who have lost our special abilities as well. Although the degree of alteration seems to vary.

[After all, he still had his gills and webbed hands/feet. Perhaps it was only if you didn't look human at all? But what was the purpose?]

Will you be all right?

Dude you were a turtle?

That's Sweet! I love turtles! I used to be able to turn into them whenever I needed to ya know, swim or hide in my shell from danger. Those things are surprisingly tough! If I could count every time I've been blown clear from an explosion while hiding in my shell...

...oh I'm Beastboy by the way. Nice to meet you.

A turtle?

Good. I was starting to think I was the only reptile dragged in here.
