i have done one phone tag but it was long..... and it was so important

chews on your desk

bb cloud NEEDED to hold bb sephiroth's hand

you got this you can do it

i made really good progress with the inbox last night!! tradeoff is that now i am So Tired at work

i will do some work and then a tag

you are a powerful warrior be easy on urself

dani I'm looking at you after that raph tag u just gave me

phone tags very cherry picked

we don't have the luxury of going in order when ee taggin by phone

tag what u want no one can tell u what to do

:E waiting to see if cloud pays attention to another thread where Vincent admits to someone that he is bonded to Mini.

he probably wouldn't but i can make it an exception if u WANT him to notice

IT WASN'T EVEN INTENTIONALLY WRITTEN TO BE READ THAT WAY he just doesn't want this fluffy adorable lil cloud to wind up as bitter about everything as he is. .. and how cloud seems to be in the future. :< stay golden tinycloud!!

aaaaaaaaaa ;o;

cute...

NOPE HE BECOMES A TARNISHED STORMCLOUD AND ITS SHINRA AND HOJO AND SEPHIROTH'S FAULT but for right now....he is still a little silver lining cloudbaby

and he will hold the hand of another boy for a second because other boy looks so sad

gonna look even sadder in a minute. he can't pull off kicked puppy but he can pull off sad kitten

poor baby grown up seph really fucked things up for you with ur crush

life is cruel!!!!!

Nah you don't need to make an exception. I'm sure Vincent will bring it up. Eventually.

c:

it's fine probably vincent won't also go crazy if sephiroth does

probably

Maybe.

one gentle hand squeeze and seph cries

sorry he has a lot of feels he tends to try to keep hiddne. life is not kind and gentle, so anything kind and gentle hurts like a bitch

that's a little baby

where is Harrison ford

he is a sad lonely kid. who could have more friends if he. tried. at all

donnie is his friend and baby cloud in mindscape only is his friend

baby cloud is adorable and he wants to keep him and isn't sure if that's reunion or not.

how he and donnie made friends i'll never know. they have a wavelength.

"but Donnie experimented on-" irrelevant. miniroth showed interest in donnie's work. he will do many favors for him now

still interested. not an evil scientist, this is a novelty

see how far it gets him

casey is obviously biased. :c

also interested will this be a very good or very messed up friendship

considering the people involved I think it'll inevitably be horribly messed up. but maybe good for them?

casey was plenty interested before he just wanted to not give blood or whatever every other day

fontech: oh yeah i was rereading threads in donnie inbox, and donnie had called casey "casey jr" before and it got casey all sad

runedwriting: regardless, it will be VERY fun

yep...

actually i was gonna have donnie follow up with seph in his inbox and then i forgot; want me to backdate, or hold onto it?

he's back now, so any time is fine.

o7

and slowly figuring out that the weird focus he has on that sword isn't.. really natural.

donnie, trying not to look like he needs a hit of some kind of narcotics SO bad: would you uhhhhhhhhh like someone to perhaps examine that thing. scientifically

...sure why not the other test went fine.

one of those things where he could have answers as to what caused it in about 20 seconds if he asked cloud but he is NOT GOING TO ASK CLOUD.

what if seph had a CLOAKING PIN and an ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT, would he ask cloud then

he believes at this point cloud has some weird instinctive magical knowledge of where he is and what he's scheming at any given time. HE'D KNOW. SOMEHOW. but he might try. maybe if he can't otherwise figure it out.

..which I guess if you think about it. he kind of does, doesn't he.

LMBCFAO SEPH 😭😭😭😭 I'm so sorry little baby, you got SO burned

it's not /every/ bird. but it could be ANY bird

OKAY I NEED. to put down somewhere all the reasons parceled out why donnie did this bc I'm gonna hurt myself in my confusion instead of do some tags right:

- make sure mikey is ok (entirely for his own peace of mind and he knows it but will still frame it like they need to get back to save mikey. raph already pointed out that mikey would've saved them alrady if he could so now it's a matter of seeing whether mikey forgot or is probably dying/dead bc mikey would not leave them there if he remembered)

-see dad again (MISSES PAPA MORE THAN HE CAN ADMIT, wants daddy to tell him he's smart and good and that other worlds assigning him "bad person" markers probably don't even have decent cable shows so what do they know. misses fuzzy hugs. lowkey scared time IS passing and dad is getting older and poorer in health)

- get raph and leo back home safe. BROTHERS KEEP GETTING MAIMED AND/OR DYING. preventative measures insufficient, so solution is necessary. april is included too but her ass is way smarter and safer than any of theirs

*subheading to above: he has more resources back home to protect fam, the ones here are woefully insufficient. no credit card theft or super PACs to steal from, way harder to buy materials

-establish reliable, NON-BROTHER-KILLING interdimensional travel and then open source that shit. anybody can leave, anybody can stay. travel to a world would be limited to established denizens and then maybe guests but he was working on the guest part, no immediate plans on how to make that happen

*subheader: know thy enemy. if ppl get ripped to other shittier hub worlds (apoc, trench) they can be rescued. if ppl need help in their worlds to save them from destruction, allies are right there.
*subheader 2: overconfident genius boy did not think about bad ppl in hub worlds using that same tech to hurt others bc science is supposed to be for good

-make sure found families stay together
-reunite rue and hob like he promised (and figure out how to keep hob from leaving again, like he also promised)
-reunite power and denji (who is clearly her lover, obv)
-give ppl a chance to escape their shitty situations (power, maybe??? peter)
-see dr. mckay again
-see tony again

-EVENTUALLY time stuff??? bring back the dead so long as it didn't fuck shit up, or even just give them a chance to live somewhere else and see the ppl they care about if they can't go back home

and last but probably not LEAST least, why donnie did the portal stuff:
- for the hell of it, the thrill of the game (science fun)

across both apoc and folk donnie has made "when i figure it out you can def use my tech to go home!!!" promises to ppl and maybe egg doesn't recall all the exact details but he sure does

he's trying so hard

the donnie's logic flowchart of 2025

he can have raph's personal thoughts rundown on the mikey situation to keep in rotation w his mikey situation spiral powerpoint anytime if u think it could be helpful for donnie going forward tho bc he kinda thinks the odds are mikey's safer than any of the rest of them rn LMAO

trying TOO hard, some might say

gifted kid burnout

comatoseroses: ok but also what if the two older (eldest????) brothers clutched each other's arms and yelled MIKEY??? IS THE BABY OKAY??!! IS MIKE ALRIGHT?!@?!? over and over until someone came over to feed them half a xanax folded into cold cuts like two anxious dogs

LMAO

not unrealistic for them

mindmeld gone wrong it's just an anxiety loop in here

don like i never lost sleep worrying about mike before all this and raph like LMAO WELCOME TO MY WORLD!!!

the worst part of worrying about baby brother is he's the least predictable of the little brothers, who even KNOWS with him

leo: oh shit we worrying about mikey in here? can do

he is composed of quarks and nachos and artistic impulse

ungovernable even w 2 dads

GOTTA MAKE SURE THE BABY IS OK

sage sad nod

it would be very funny if we did get that mikey like its basically Thirteen going "hes right here calm the fuck down"

thirteen: donatello, drop it. drop the- drop the other Star Children, right now,
thirteen: /rattles a jar with a mikey in it
the humble softshelled turtle:

sold as a set do not separate!!!!

HOKAY Kayjayyy i know ur goin thru it babe so no rush but here is the donnie post draft if u wanted to look at it. if you dont wanna do anything with it i am a-ok to just post his shit and let it fall how it may

can't believe leo has to feed his brothers xanax in pill cold cuts smdh
raph and donnie: we're older than you
leo: uh I was pulled from home first before either of you try again

leo: now also eat this steak don't ask why it's got some weird slices I was just making sure it's cooked right

donnie: you still didn't catch up to me even siwth gmlonths...tirde.....isleepy....

leo like thank fuck donnie was doing weirdass chemistry on the side

broke into donnie's lab and pocketed EVERY FUCKING PILL HE COULD FIND

HE ABSOLUTELY DID after feelings closet wrapped up

went to go make sure any suspicious machine was unplugged and grabbed every pill and liquid concoction that looked finished

OH SHIT IT'S MY TURN!!!!!!

i either didn't get the notif or i deleted it by accident!!! I'M SORRY SPACE

im just imagining leo doing that sneakily and then casey and raph went in later and turned the whole place to dust

LMAO IT'S FINE I figured you were busy/focusing on stuff

you gotta follow the tag inspiration juices wherever they flow, so I figured they were flowing very hard one direction HAHA

ABSOLUTELY NOT if i don't tag you back within a week at MOST then u go AYO

WHAT THE FUCK

JUICES ALWAYS FLOW TWINS DIRECTION

THAT SOUNDS NASTY

jflaksdjf LMAO

leo: ew don't flow your juices towards me gross

creates more juices to flow more harder

Meyggy QUESTION. did you have a particular desire for this memory thread. IE did you want it to end happily, or for rue to successfully help donnie somehow, or

bc i have an idea but it is cruel and kind of hopeless-feeling for rue, even if that doesn't carry over into real world. but if u are like NO I...I NEED A WIN i am definitely down to change it

I DONT MIND.... IF WE WANT TO GO DARK

rue will get a win later its fine

destroy them

LMAO

OK IF U INSIST

ough bullying mother

HE ISN'T

he's being mean to HIMSELF but rue is trying to help him D| so i figured i would check in with mey since that can be discouraging

no im fully here for it

bully that mom

that just means they will bully back harder for hugs later

rue will get Many Hugs in the tree thread, don't u worry

april be like baby maybe drop the "if there's anything I truly regret" part because that just rubs the salt in about you obviously not caring about the kidnapping part

is that all!! wow he is so good at apologizing, wao

lmao no that's just the big thing she'll pick on

like babe. you didn't at any opint say "I'm sorry for kidnapping you" anywhere in this whole letter. you did not in fact say I'm sorry at all!

the explanation fine, the "I fucked up" fine but you gotta start with "yeah that was me and I apologise" at the very least

and don't sound like you're rolling your eyes at 'morally bankrupt'!!!

(yeah she'll pick this letter apart lmao I just didn't give more earlier b/c you'd gone to bed by the time I surfaced)

omg DONNIE... you know april needs it

I mean he could always be rattling off an apology and april's just off screen kicking him every time he veers off script

lmaooo

its not really a letter anyway so harder to edit live

kicking idea sounds funny tbh

HONESTLY THAT DOES SOUND VERY FUNNY LMAO

OR A SQUIRT BOTTLE FROM OFF SCREEN

do it

leo handing her the squirt bottle

jklhSDADS SPRAY BOTTLE

the last one just nets WHAT WAS THAT FOR and you hear leo offscreen going FOR THE BIT

OK OK I'LL EDIT FOR THAT LMAO

I think all of em are gonna be vulturing over that post

combination of "no apologise properly" and "back off asshole no death threats"

LMBVYFF "look you don't have all the facts" energy

so real

raph, leo, and april beating donnie up on camera like you don't have to kill him!! we'll beat him every day!!!!

bfjfhjfj

"the real danger to him is that we're related to him and we will find him every time"

KLSDMASD

time for donnie to get tracker'd

leo: ... my twin sense is tickling, I can track him down
april: twin sense isn't real, that's the phone in your pocket vibrating because his tracker went off going out of range

kdlfjsaf

Tracker That Boy

casey would do it. how the turns tabled

TRACK HIMMMMM

tbf donnie would do it to himself if the fam asked; his stuff works as his tracker but he's always the one tracking so it seemed pointless to do it to himself

but yeah if casey did it he'd just be like oh ok

just doesnt tell him the way donnie didn't tell anyone lmao

2 months later don like why can leo always find me

leo: twin sense
april: the tracker casey put in your leg you Dumb Assed Boy

don:

gonna hide that turtle in Sephiroth's basement

leo instantly portals over like "why are you in some random kid's basement"

casey squinting at the tracker like ??? is that my old house

HEY NO APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE IN HIS BASEMENT WITHOUT BRINGING HIM SOMETHING he accepts French fries

you cant tell leo not to do something he'll just do it more

ok but leo would def bring seph french fries if he asked

it's a trespassing fee. mozz sticks also accepted

i feel like mozz sticks are higher up on the totem pole than French fries

definitely more expensive

fried cheese is indeed proof the Goddess loves humanity

genesis whips his head around at mention of the goddess but it's just seph snonching on mozz

the Tru gift of the goddess

if that was the gift of the goddess zack would be more willing to roll with his shit

can't prove it is t

isn't

angeal, seph, and zack, unbothered and flourishing and snonching on mozz

genesis: this is the gift of the goddess /turns into a giant fuck-off robot boss
zack: you're not you when you're hungry

entire boss fight is trying to make a cheese stick big en5

enough curse you phone

that should be someones DMW, zack attack with a giant moza stick...

ok .......tmrw i am doing TLs for all my boys, I'm doing it

the plotting period goes by so fast for me maybe I'm getting too old and tired

you can do it I believe in you

I FEEL THIS COMPLETELY i just suck at doing plotting posts

i did real basic versions this time the rest was mostly updated copy-paste. i reuse the same one every time and just change the last section.

when are you doing donnie post out of curiosity

the plotting window does straight up fly by i feel dat its never too late it just feels that way sometimes!!!!

yeah i kinda put mine up thinking no one will touch this, oh well!! here it is. i'll tag around.

i might but I'll TL first and see what i feel like doing afterward

ye

fontech: I FORGOT TO ANSWER U. uhh tbh I'm not sure if i should do it asap or wait a lil for event rush to die down

i feel like it won't make a huge difference tho

idk do you think you'll get very long threads out of it? i assume mostly people will yell a lot and then run off to be mad elsewhere lmao

im biased tho i wanna do follow up and casey wont reach out until he sees donnie show his face in public

but that can be event or post if you'd rather wait technically

mm i think I'll do it asap then o/ finish edits, ask for sign off from involved parties, then post

he's already been alive for a month now, that's enough wound-licking time for sure

i wanna play koana but he's so similar to donnie but also.......he is a catboy. i. LOVE catboy

time to make donnie a catboy-

you can always psl. or just play him, have similar characters, yolo.

I'm also a little concerned that I'm playing him bc i can't play my WOL, but then again i would love to play him leaning into some miqote/hhetsarro traits bc he's sooooo buttoned up and against kind of traditional/typical things (aka a teaboo)

YEAH.......idk i might just toss him around on memes

but what if ppl find out that I'm deviously into miqote headbuts

they should be into it too

do it ill give u baby sis

headbutt her

HE WILL KITTY CAT HEADBUTT LAMATY'I...... she'll get the first ever

what if she did like those happy tiger chuff noises

ough ough owowow

new post draft!!! Kayjayyy ur blessing whenever u get around to it if u blease

dgfdkgfkdf

Lmfdsfdx perfect I'm cacklin

OK imma do my TLs and then sling this up on the network

donnie's trying SO hard

he is

leo would give him a treat for trying so hard but knowing april, is taking cues from april (read: he is more afraid of her)

no no no

april's stern hand is necessary also honestly the best motivator is when he looks and sees the look on april's face when he talks about dying

exactly

leo's not gonna undermine that

leo remains holder of most braincells

leo can give him a treat if he manages to get through the resultant conversations without offending anyone (good luck)

aerith: what if we got you something pretty
cloud: i don't need anything
aerith: sexy pretty. what if...u wore the dress and-
cloud: i'm already outside the store

leo will withhold all treats until april gives him the signal

HANG ON THERE LEO..........maybe donnie will do it but historical data does NOT support it

tbh april would be like "try not to insult anyone" and then tell leo that if he manages to get through the discussions semi-intact he can at least have a treat for trying lmao

insults are very subjective

example: someone is behaving stupidly, is it an insult to call them stupid jury is out

see this is why she said try

she expects him to fail within like. 3 minutes max.

LMAO

leo using the twin connection (read: familiar bond) to send "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND JUST APOLOGIZE" vibes to don

april: you imbecile, to think i would stipulate the terms of an experiment without accounting for variance
donnie: /is INSTANTLY turned into dust

spacemoth: leo just straight up steals donnie's relic and is like "oh yes i am so sorry and also the least handsome brother" in text

kjdlfaf

jfklasjd listen
if you let me, he would absolutely pull shit

leo: I'm better at apologies than you, let me at it they'll never know it's me
also leo: anyway I'm a big dumb-dumb and my slight older twin brother is smarter and told me this was a bad idea also he's handsome and faster and -

"if i let you" i was gonna straight up do it

HAHA

leo: they'll never know it was me
also leo: so sorry my BIG OL FIVE HEAD is apparently still not enough brain to think out that this was a bad frickin idea

HHHHGGGHGHGHGH so i just really enjoy playing around the idea with sorey LIKING the vessel part of shepherdhood

he enjoys being a safe place, he enjoys being able to offer protection to people he cares about just by literally being there and taking care of yourself emotionally. he REALLY enjoys it

(something something being a caretaker not exclusive to motherhood, something something my body is a temple, something something LOVE THE PARALLELS)

the game never delves into it so it's one of my favorite things to waggle about when playing dolls

ANYWAY. im awake and im ate and im doing TLs and then donnie post

believe in yourself

ITS SUCH A GOOD ASPECT OF THE LORE, GOD

SO OF COURSE THE GAME NEVER DOES ANYTHING WITH IT LMFAO

/salt

love that when talking about the sublord thing to mikleo she mentioned that part like it was a downside

RIGHT

"you would have to dwell inside sorey like me" you mean i dont have to WALK sign me the fuck up thats for sure

walk in all this shitty malevolence ugh

LMFAOS

lailah like look.............you haven't had your wild and free years yet.............................do you wanna get married already, so soon

mikleo already inside of sorey's soul: wym

LIKE OK IT MAKES SENSE there is a certain lack of freedom involved in servitude. its a fair thing to warn

but for mikleo its like

he was already attached at the hip for life, ma'am

they are a matched set, do not separate

PRECISELY

game: separates

even when they separate bc they have a fight, they're more mad about being apart

lmao mikleo leaves but he never LEFT he was following their asses everywhere

"i am mad at you so im gonna stalk your ass until you need me enough to apologize"

mikleo: I'M LEAVING FOREVER
sorey: FINE
mikleo: FINE
mikleo: /stalks
alisha: sorey are you sure mikleo is-
sorey: I'M SURE HE'S FINE AND THERE'S NO REASON TO WORRY AND IF MIKLEO WAS HERE HE WOULD AGREE

mikleo, behind this or that closed door, unable to hear: he is SUFFERING without me

hey you know what they never talked about how extra pissed in the moment mikleo must have been when sorey instantly made alisha a squire

(i love that he never held it against HER either tho)

LLMFAOF mikleo is very much smart enough to know sorey is totally at fault for his double standards

alisha: can i be a squire
sorey: yeah of course this is your fight too! absolutely here take half my resonance. love you, kisses
mikleo: i want to h-
sorey: YOU CAN'T. DON'T BE HYSTERICAL, DON'T MAKE RASH DECISIONS. IN FACT WHAT IF U WENT HOME WEREN'T U FEELING SICK

also you're a frog

sorey; it's my dream for humans and seraphim to co-exist
mikleo: this is literally the first time you've said that
sorey: well i just didn't mention it before for some reason its fine
mikleo: i thought your dream was to turn into a book that can read itself forever
sorey: NO ITS- ITS THE OTHER THING

mikleo: okay fine, my dream is also coexistence and i just never told you before
sorey:

mikleo hit that hypocrite with the UNO REVERSE

fun fact sorey if you have a dream mikleo is probably gonna adopt it real fast

i think the biggest change in mikleo after 200 years is he aged out of his fuckin codependency

i like how sorey will sometimes pretend as if he doesn't want mikleo to climb into him like he's a fitted bedsheet in the dryer

YEAH LMAO SOREY IS LIKE HEY................................how can i be co-dependent if the other dependent isn't co-

jesus figure with occasional moments of his own tsun

mikleo's crawling his way back INTO the codependency with sorey around again but this time it's like.... healthier

his whole life with gramps like ok you gotta take care of this human and enjoy him while you can bc he's eventually gonna leave you, also here is all this secret human knowledge you'll need if you want to follow him when he leaves you

alisha: arrives
mikleo: dont you fuckin do it
sorey: tries to leave
mikleo: YOU'RE DOIN IT

SECRET HUMAN KNOWLEDGE LNSMFLSUIDF

THATS BASICALLY HOW IT WENT

TO BE FAIR

unless i'm REALLY misreading the situation, i don't think sorey imagined he'd be like. gone from elysia FOREVER

his main thing was like "go check things out and warn alisha" and he had ZERO PLANS after that

oh no SOREY didn't. i think everyone else did lmao

LMVAOUSDIFUOASF

they were like once he leaves and sees the human world he wont come back and live here

every other elysian: look this....humans are like crows. the world is full of shiny exciting things. even if they don't want to go look at them, they will

and mikleo was sorta prepped to decide, either be separated forever or learn how to exist in the world outside elysia if you want to be with sorey

seraphim who have sat unmoving on the same rock for 40 years before because there was just nothing better to do: humans are just so flighty

HONESTLY THO THATS JUST... SERAPHIM....

IT REALLY REALLY IS

theyre fuckin birdwatchers

their youtube is on auto-play and they just sit and vibe

eternal lofi

oops the rain asmr just kicked in /scoots like a foot sideways to be under a tree branch/ there we go

/lays down for two weeks

earth seraphim gotta be the worst about it

wind seraphim at least flit around even if they're all hippie about it

honestly the fact that eizen turned into a fucking dragon and then immediately went to his mountain and sat there so long no one even KNEW a dragon was up there

earth seraphs def the worst
