Twenty-third Theory [Action/Voice/Accidental Video]
((Backdated to this morning, of course.))
[An earthquake in Luceti? Don doesn't know how likely that is, except that apparently it's possible.]
[Somewhere in the back of his brain, he knows that you're supposed to stand in a doorway when an earthquake hits. But as the first tremors rumble through C6, knocking Don's journal off a shelf so that it falls open on the floor, all he can think is protect Raph.]
[He throws himself over his still-bedridden brother, holding him to the mattress and trusting the springs to cushion both of them from the worst of the shaking.]
[As soon as things are quiet, he'll dash to the other room and grab his bo, in case this earthquake was caused not by movement of fault lines but by big-jawed robots chomping their way through the building.]
[Noticing the open journal, he'll shout into it.] Did anyone else feel that?

Damn. Can't trust any of these buildings as far as y'can throw the things. [ So. Much. Hate. More hitting of things to punctuate those last three words. ] You're gonna get someone to help you move him, right? Don't think I'll be outta here in time if that place goes down, too.
[ voice ]
Casey, listen. Derek is coming to help me with Raph and I asked my friend Helios to look for you. Will you tell me where you are?
[ voice ]
Ducked into the Welcome Center. Door kinda got lost.
[ voice ]
[A moment later.] Helios is on his way, Casey. He said he might send - I don't know, some kind of magical creature.
[ voice ]
Magic creature, huh. [ There IS gratefulness in this slightly suspicious tone, Don. He just doesn't know Helios. Or particularly trust magic. ]
[ voice ]
[ voice ]
[ If nothing else, Don's a good judge of character, after all. ] Just, uh- make sure you guys don't get squashed, yeah?
