((OOC: Kind of irregular, but in light of Raph-mun's internet problems and my impending hiatus, we decided to continue this thread over IM. The transcript follows, broken into sections because it surely exceeds the character limit for comments. As you might expect, Raphael's tags are in red and Donatello's are in purple.))
Someone told me when I first came. I was in the woods and some lady wouldn't leave me alone. I thought she was with the Foot. She was tellin' me where I was and how I couldn't get out. So I went to go see for myself.
Hm. So. You arrived in an unknown place, had a conversation with a stranger, and on the strength of her information immediately travelled a fairly great distance to attack an impenetrable barrier. Raphael, has anyone ever told you you are impetuous?
If that means insane then yeah. [Faint grin.]
Indeed. [Points to tools.] Hand me that.
I'm kinda holdin' this thing up. Get it yourself.
Fair point. [Retrieves tool with his toes.] So, what did you attack the barrier with? Your sai?
Yeah. [Aside:] Don, that is so weird when you do that. The doin' stuff with your feet thing.
Huh?
Never mind.
Ummm... [Mentally elsewhere.] When I arrived, I didn't have my bo. Remember, we had to go to the weapons shop for it.
I found mine in a bush.
Really. [Intrigued.]
...Yeah.
What about Leo and Mike?
I don't remember. I was kinda keyed up.
You don't remember?
That's what I said.
Raph, focus. Where were they? Where were their weapons?
I don't remember! Jeez. Mikey went into town before he saw me and talked to some lady. Leo came later but I wasn't payin' that much attention to it.
[Tinkering.] Hm. And then all three of you went to the barrier?
Well...I went and they tagged along. Mike wanted to go to the village. Convinced Leo of it too. But I wasn't gonna go anywhere until I was sure there was no way out of this.
Mm. [Slides out from under the oven.] Okay, put it down.
In the apartment
