Hi! Mod Kat here with another masterpost for your convenience :>

Arrival

The Kraang

Anon Asks

[loujitsu-4ever]

Chiisai comes back to Splinter and Angel. She watches both before speaking up.

"We should head back to the lair... I can't do much here with Leon. He needs to lay on his own without getting touched."

@pancake-at-midnight @the-new-new-face-man-in-blue

[This is like forever late sorry </3 um so I'm mainly just answering this to acknowledge that they did move back to the lairs]

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

Chiisai watches them all, gesturing to open the window for her.

@pancake-at-midnight @the-new-new-face-man-in-blue

She looks over towards the window, jumping slightly at the sight of a turtle sitting there. She moves over to the window, opening it for her.

"Oh, dear-! Come inside, hun."

He looks up, blinking before perking up a bit. Chiisai! She'll be able to tell his family that he isn't crazy.

@red-angel-of-prevent1ng-harm ?

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked at chiisai, moving over to her*

"Chiisai! Im sorry.."

"But at least you will be able to see me, right?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods to Carol. Chiisai steps in, looking through the round.

"Thanks... Sorry, some neighbors were outside the door and I didn't want to scare them..."

Chiisai then starts to stare right at Leon.

"The voices told the truth... Hey Leon..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Ah. She nods, giving the turtle a small smile.

He huffs softly, ruffling his feathers and moving over to Chiisai and Leo.

"Chiisai..." He dips his head slightly in greeting, ignoring the way moving kind of makes his stomach protest. He shivers a little.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked away, whining slightly*

"I didn't mean to hurt any of you.. im sorry."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She looks to Donnie to chirp a small greeting. Then Chiisai focuses back on Leon for a moment.

Her expression gets slightly irritated for a second.

"Purple, you see him.... right? Why did you two did...that?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He nods, frowning slightly. His tail swishes.

"Do what?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

(Tumblr you bastard)

"What do you mean? Can you explain why I can't see gramgram?"

"Was i not worthy..?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She stares at both.

"Your souls merged. You made an amalgamation of your own souls."

She didn't sugarcoat it one bit... She just ripped the so called band-aid off straight away. Chiisai points to Donnie.

"That's why you can see him."

Then she points to Leon.

"And it's the reason you can't move on. Because you aren't two souls anymore."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

His brow furrows as he stares at Chiisai for a moment.

"Wait, what do you mean we 'aren't two souls anymore?'" He uses air quotes to their fullest potential as he repeats what Chiisai said. "We- we merged? How does that even happen? "

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"That still doesn't explain why I didn't move the second I died."

"How does that work? What do you mean by that how could we do that?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai clicks quietly, watching both. She won't be gentle with her words...

"You didn't moved on because you're a velcro baby, Leon! You literally cling onto Purple! All of the time! And you apparently clung so hard on him after death that your soul merged without destroying itself!"

The turtle crosses her arms and looks dead serious (haha pun) at Donnie.

"You're lucky that you didn't die from it. You two smashed your souls together. Or to demonstrate it so you dumb idiots can understand it-"

Chiisai claps loud her hands together and leaves them pressed hard onto each other. You can see the pressure behind it, as her arms slightly shake.

"Right now, you both are like that-!"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He blinks, his wings puffing up a little. He winces slightly at the loud clap.

For a moment, he just stares at Chiisai's hands, his tail swishing a bit.

"... spirit stuff makes no sense..." He mumbles, rubbing his temple as he tries to understand. "I get what you're saying, Chiisai, I just don't understand how it happened-!"

He hisses sightly, his tail flicking a bit more aggressively.

"You're talking like we did this on purpose. I didn't even know this could happen until 10 seconds ago!" He shakes his head, gesturing as he speaks.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon puffed out his wings, offended*

"I didn't want to merge with donnie, he had just killed me!"

"I want to bs with gramgram but I don't deserve it!"

"We had no idea this could happen."

"Is there a way unmerge, and if so, will I still be alone? Its not like I can see any other ghosts or spirits"

[pancake-at-midnight]

"You make no sense-!"

Chiisai hisses before taking a long exhale and trying to calm herself.

"Look. I wasn't there when it happened. I can't tell you why you did it. But it's simply ironic that you both just clung to each other even after his death! Because it's what you did all your life. You're two magnets. Your consciousness just choose the solution without out you realizing it. Because it was just natural for you two."

She sighs annoyed. Chiisai takes a moment to check something, turning slightly to look next to her... even so there is nobody next to her.

"You can't see other ghost because you're on a different plane. Like- you're in a house in a different room than others. No ghost can go to you without literally entering the room you're in. And we can't simply redo that, Leon. If we mess up just a little bit, we could rip both of your souls to shreds."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He stills at Leon's words, his breath freezing in his lungs. He sinks in on himself, a few tears rising to his eyes. He didn't mean to. He takes a deliberate breath, squeezing his eyes shut for a second. He has to keep his focus on the task at hand. He has to fix this. Except, it sounds like Chiisai is saying this can't be fixed.

*What does this mean for us? For Leo? Can he be brought back?*

His hands shake slightly as he signs. He looks desperately to Chiisai, hoping there's some hope. Please. Anything. There has to be some way to bring Leo back.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon hissed slightly, swishing his tail*

"So, I can't be with gramgram, figures, and im going to be alone in this stupid plane of existence."

*Leon lowered his wings*

"Not like I deserved it anyway."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches both turtles before sighing.

"It's... complicated. Nothing we can fix within days... it would need a lot of energy, time and will. Because as long as you both hold on to each other, I can't do much."

"Souls are fragile. Especially when they're broken. You saw what it looked like on Mikey, Purple. And we have another problem. Leon's body. His corpse will still continue to rot. To say it bluntly."

She pauses, grabbing her black chalk. Chiisai starts to seemingly write in the air next to her. Three times the same thing.

"Please tell me you got his corpse..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He slowly nods, feathers twitching. Yeah, a broken soul is bad. He remembers that very clearly.

He nods again.

*Living room, with dad*

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Do you have to see my corpse?"

*Leon swished his tail, looking away, he doesn't exactly want chiisai to see his mangled body, he didn't even want lea to see his mangled body, or any of his siblings*

"Its a mess.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai nods, chirping quietly to Donnie. Then she looks at Leon again.

"I saw many corpses in my life. I will survive seeing yours as well. Also we have to stop the rotting process if we really want to revive you some day. Until then..."

She closes her eyes for a moment before writing something on Leon. Her eyes glow brightly for a moment and she lets out a tired huff. For Lwon, three new ghosts appear with awfully familiar colours... Blue, red and orange.

"Leon, these three are Iris, Ashok and Canna. They can keep you company from time to time."

With that, she slowly moves to the living room to see Leon's body.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

[In the living room, Splinter is sat beside Leon's stiff corpse. Leon's neck is angled weirdly, and his shell is cracked open like a bashed melon. Splinter seems to be trying to remember some kind of prayer. He looks up at the sound of footsteps, though, giving Chiisai a tired, startled look before his gaze shifts to his son in the doorway behind her. His expression softens a little, growing even more sad]

"Hello. You must be a friend of my boys. I believe I have seen you around the lairs, yes?"

Splinter's fur is slightly matted in the way it gets when he's been crying. He looks away guiltily, letting out a small breath. He does his best not to look at his twin's corpse.

"Papa, this is Chiisai."

Purple's voice is a little rough and ragged, definitely strained. He hangs back in the doorway of the kitchen, quiet and tiny. It's not right. Purple almost seems as lifeless as Blue, if it were not for his anxious mannerisms.

He clears his throat a little, giving Chiisai a strained smile.

"Ah. Hello, Chiisai."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to his corpse, whining slightly and looking away and the ghosts*

"Hi."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She kneels down in front of Leon and Splinter, nodding a greeting to him.

"Hello. I assume you're Splinter, right?"

Chiisai looks over Leon's body. Gently she puts a hand on his corpse.

"I'm sorry to disturb you... but we have to get him to the lair. Only then I can put... his corpse into a rest, so it won't.... rot away."

She speaks carefully and quiet. She knows that the death of the own kid is always the worst.

Iris, Ashok and Canna looking first a bit surprised. They stare at Leon before Iris comes closer.

"Hello Leon. I'm Iris."

He eyes the young turtle up and down. Canna follows quickly, almost pushing Iris to the side. He smiles at Leon.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He watches the girl for a moment.

"Stop the rotting..?" He quietly repeats, glancing to Purple.

He glances over at Leon, his tail swishing slightly. He looks away again, catching Splinter's glance.

He huffs slightly, giving a small nod before looking away.

He presses his lips before turning back to Chiisai.

"... alright. I do not understand, but Purple seems to trust you with this."

He listens for just a moment before quietly leaving, moving to the bathroom.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon swished his tail nervously, looking at the trio of ghosts*

"Hi.. iris"

"Glad to not be alone anymore.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches Donnie before turning back to Splinter.

"It's Purple's plan to revive Leon... to bring him back from the dead. I'm someone who communicates with the dead and help them."

She slowly stands up, starting to write some runes on Leon's body with her black chalk.

"Do... you want to talk to Leon...?"

Iris gives him a small smile.

"Yeah, it can be pretty lonely..."

"And you didn't go completely insane... another point for you."

Ashok comes closer as well now. Though he looks more serious.

"How did you die, Leon? Was it in a fight?"

Canna asks nonchalantly. Promptly, he gets a slap to the head from Ashok for it.

"Way to go easy on him, idiot!"

[loujitsu-4ever]

He nods, glancing towards where Purple had gone. He knows this must be very hard on him.

He looks back to Chiisai, eyes shining with a little bit of hope.

"Is he here?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"We had a fight, donnie pushed me off a roof.. I didn't even realize what happened..."

*Leon looked at splinter, whining slightly before lowering and folding his wings*

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods, glancing at Leon.

"He's here. I can't promise that he will speak to you as well, but you could see him and talk to him again."

Ashok stares in disbelief and Iris makes a sympathetic noise.

"Your own brother killed you?!"

Canna is killing the mood again.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to where Chiisai does, even though he sees nothing there. He looks back to her, nodding.

"I would love that."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked back to splinter*

"He... didn't mean to"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Canna wanted to ask before but Ashok quickly slaps a hand over Canna's mouth.

"It was an accident. Still, I believe he gives himself the fault for what happened."

She nods again before chirping to Leon. Chiisai lures Leon over. She does her job, once he is next to her and makes him visible for his father.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He waits as patiently as he can manage, looking for his son as soon as Chiisai is finished.

"Blue?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Splinter.."

*Leon looked to splinter, moving closer to him*

"Im sorry.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai gently pulls Leon closer to Splinter before stepping away. She will hold the veil up as long as they need.

Aster watches before slowly moving towards the window. Without waiting, he leaves and vanishes into the night.

[loujitsu-4ever]

"What for? This was not your fault."

He tries to cup Blue's face, but of course his hand fazes right through. He tries to hold back tears.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I hurt everyone I cared about.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Iris, Canna and Ashok want to come over but Chiisai gestures them to stay away. She doesn't want to spook the old rat.

She watches Leon with a sad expression.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He sighs, looking at his son with a knowing expression.

"I know you did not mean to."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"But i did! I hurt everyone I ever cared about!"

"I deserve to be alone forever.."

"I deserve this.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai tries her best not to intervene, to not make a comment. It's Leon's time with Splinter now. Not with her.

Mikey slowly comes out of April's room. He doesn't wear the headphones. As he spots Chisai, he stops in his tracks. But his eyes get a slight hopeful shine.

[loujitsu-4ever]

His expression goes sad, with an almost guilty quality.

"I am afraid that hurting those we love runs in the family, baby Blue..."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to mikey*

"Can you tell mikey that im sorry.."

"He is like this because of me.. I hurt him.. I hurt everyone.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai notices Mikey. She gives him a tired but still soft smile. Both looking at each other like they could talk without actual words.

Soon enough, Mikey comes slowly over to them, holding a sleeping Lea close.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to Orange, nodding an acknowledgement. He doesn't want to overwhelm him, so he will try to let Orange come to him.

He looks back to Blue, humming softly, face full of regret.

"I believe we have all hurt Orange... but yes. I will relay that you are sorry."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I'm going to find donnie."

*Leon looked to lea and mikey, whining*

"Im sorry mikey, lea."

*Leon disappeared in a whisp of ghostly presence, going to be with donnie*

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai wants to stop Leon but reacts too slow. She sighs, closing the veil between the two worlds again. She huffs, rubbing her snout for a moment.

Angel now stands next to Chiisai, making sure she's okay. Then she shows her Lea with a quiet chirp and a whispered comment.

Chiisai watches Angel before looking at Lea. She coos quietly, smiling sadly.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He watches sadly, sighing quietly. He doesn't move to leave or anything, just kind of awkwardly standing there for a moment, waiting to see if Orange acknowledges his presence at all.

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai carefully takes Lea before nodding slightly in Splinter's direction while looking at Angel.

Angel chirps some quiet protest before sighing silently. She looks over to Splinter, shoulders and body tense.

"Splinter..."

[loujitsu-4ever]

He smiles slightly, nodding to Orange.

"Orange." He takes a breath, letting it out slowly. "I would love to speak to you, but you do not have to speak with me if you do not wish to..."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Angel doesn't answer for a moment. She only answers as Chiisai gently nudge her.

"I'm close by... okay?"

Angel nods, watching Chiisai leave. Then she glances back to Splinter.

"About what do you want to talk....?"

[loujitsu-4ever]

He watches Chiisai leave before turning back to Orange. He shrugs a little.

"I don't know. I am worried for you." His tail swishes. "How have you been holding up?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

Chiisai watches them all, gesturing to open the window for her.

@pancake-at-midnight @the-new-new-face-man-in-blue

She looks over towards the window, jumping slightly at the sight of a turtle sitting there. She moves over to the window, opening it for her.

"Oh, dear-! Come inside, hun."

He looks up, blinking before perking up a bit. Chiisai! She'll be able to tell his family that he isn't crazy.

"But at least you will be able to see me, right?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

"The voices told the truth... Hey Leon..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He huffs softly, ruffling his feathers and moving over to Chiisai and Leo.

"Chiisai..." He dips his head slightly in greeting, ignoring the way moving kind of makes his stomach protest. He shivers a little.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked away, whining slightly*

"I didn't mean to hurt any of you.. im sorry."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She looks to Donnie to chirp a small greeting. Then Chiisai focuses back on Leon for a moment.

Her expression gets slightly irritated for a second.

"Purple, you see him.... right? Why did you two did...that?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He nods, frowning slightly. His tail swishes.

"Do what?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

(Tumblr you bastard)

"What do you mean? Can you explain why I can't see gramgram?"

"Was i not worthy..?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She stares at both.

"Your souls merged. You made an amalgamation of your own souls."

She didn't sugarcoat it one bit... She just ripped the so called band-aid off straight away. Chiisai points to Donnie.

"That's why you can see him."

Then she points to Leon.

Canna wanted to ask before but Ashok quickly slaps a hand over Canna's mouth.

"It was an accident. Still, I believe he gives himself the fault for what happened."

She nods again before chirping to Leon. Chiisai lures Leon over. She does her job, once he is next to her and makes him visible for his father.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He waits as patiently as he can manage, looking for his son as soon as Chiisai is finished.

"Blue?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Splinter.."

*Leon looked to splinter, moving closer to him*

"Im sorry.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai gently pulls Leon closer to Splinter before stepping away. She will hold the veil up as long as they need.

Aster watches before slowly moving towards the window. Without waiting, he leaves and vanishes into the night.

[loujitsu-4ever]

"What for? This was not your fault."

He tries to cup Blue's face, but of course his hand fazes right through. He tries to hold back tears.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I hurt everyone I cared about.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Iris, Canna and Ashok want to come over but Chiisai gestures them to stay away. She doesn't want to spook the old rat.

She watches Leon with a sad expression.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He sighs, looking at his son with a knowing expression.

"I know you did not mean to."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"But i did! I hurt everyone I ever cared about!"

"I deserve to be alone forever.."

"I deserve this.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai tries her best not to intervene, to not make a comment. It's Leon's time with Splinter now. Not with her.

Mikey slowly comes out of April's room. He doesn't wear the headphones. As he spots Chisai, he stops in his tracks. But his eyes get a slight hopeful shine.

[loujitsu-4ever]

His expression goes sad, with an almost guilty quality.

"I am afraid that hurting those we love runs in the family, baby Blue..."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to mikey*

"Can you tell mikey that im sorry.."

"He is like this because of me.. I hurt him.. I hurt everyone.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai notices Mikey. She gives him a tired but still soft smile. Both looking at each other like they could talk without actual words.

Soon enough, Mikey comes slowly over to them, holding a sleeping Lea close.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to Orange, nodding an acknowledgement. He doesn't want to overwhelm him, so he will try to let Orange come to him.

He looks back to Blue, humming softly, face full of regret.

"I believe we have all hurt Orange... but yes. I will relay that you are sorry."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I'm going to find donnie."

*Leon looked to lea and mikey, whining*

"Im sorry mikey, lea."

*Leon disappeared in a whisp of ghostly presence, going to be with donnie*

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai wants to stop Leon but reacts too slow. She sighs, closing the veil between the two worlds again. She huffs, rubbing her snout for a moment.

Angel now stands next to Chiisai, making sure she's okay. Then she shows her Lea with a quiet chirp and a whispered comment.

Chiisai watches Angel before looking at Lea. She coos quietly, smiling sadly.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He watches sadly, sighing quietly. He doesn't move to leave or anything, just kind of awkwardly standing there for a moment, waiting to see if Orange acknowledges his presence at all.

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai carefully takes Lea before nodding slightly in Splinter's direction while looking at Angel.

Angel chirps some quiet protest before sighing silently. She looks over to Splinter, shoulders and body tense.

"Splinter..."

[loujitsu-4ever]

He smiles slightly, nodding to Orange.

"Orange." He takes a breath, letting it out slowly. "I would love to speak to you, but you do not have to speak with me if you do not wish to..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

Chiisai watches them all, gesturing to open the window for her.

@pancake-at-midnight @the-new-new-face-man-in-blue

She looks over towards the window, jumping slightly at the sight of a turtle sitting there. She moves over to the window, opening it for her.

"Oh, dear-! Come inside, hun."

He looks up, blinking before perking up a bit. Chiisai! She'll be able to tell his family that he isn't crazy.

@red-angel-of-prevent1ng-harm ?

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked at chiisai, moving over to her*

"Chiisai! Im sorry.."

"But at least you will be able to see me, right?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods to Carol. Chiisai steps in, looking through the round.

"Thanks... Sorry, some neighbors were outside the door and I didn't want to scare them..."

Chiisai then starts to stare right at Leon.

"The voices told the truth... Hey Leon..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Ah. She nods, giving the turtle a small smile.

He huffs softly, ruffling his feathers and moving over to Chiisai and Leo.

"Chiisai..." He dips his head slightly in greeting, ignoring the way moving kind of makes his stomach protest. He shivers a little.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked away, whining slightly*

"I didn't mean to hurt any of you.. im sorry."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She looks to Donnie to chirp a small greeting. Then Chiisai focuses back on Leon for a moment.

Her expression gets slightly irritated for a second.

"Purple, you see him.... right? Why did you two did...that?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He nods, frowning slightly. His tail swishes.

"Do what?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

(Tumblr you bastard)

"What do you mean? Can you explain why I can't see gramgram?"

"Was i not worthy..?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She stares at both.

"Your souls merged. You made an amalgamation of your own souls."

She didn't sugarcoat it one bit... She just ripped the so called band-aid off straight away. Chiisai points to Donnie.

"That's why you can see him."

Then she points to Leon.

"And it's the reason you can't move on. Because you aren't two souls anymore."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

His brow furrows as he stares at Chiisai for a moment.

"Wait, what do you mean we 'aren't two souls anymore?'" He uses air quotes to their fullest potential as he repeats what Chiisai said. "We- we merged? How does that even happen? "

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"That still doesn't explain why I didn't move the second I died."

"How does that work? What do you mean by that how could we do that?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai clicks quietly, watching both. She won't be gentle with her words...

"You didn't moved on because you're a velcro baby, Leon! You literally cling onto Purple! All of the time! And you apparently clung so hard on him after death that your soul merged without destroying itself!"

The turtle crosses her arms and looks dead serious (haha pun) at Donnie.

"You're lucky that you didn't die from it. You two smashed your souls together. Or to demonstrate it so you dumb idiots can understand it-"

Chiisai claps loud her hands together and leaves them pressed hard onto each other. You can see the pressure behind it, as her arms slightly shake.

"Right now, you both are like that-!"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He blinks, his wings puffing up a little. He winces slightly at the loud clap.

For a moment, he just stares at Chiisai's hands, his tail swishing a bit.

"... spirit stuff makes no sense..." He mumbles, rubbing his temple as he tries to understand. "I get what you're saying, Chiisai, I just don't understand how it happened-!"

He hisses sightly, his tail flicking a bit more aggressively.

"You're talking like we did this on purpose. I didn't even know this could happen until 10 seconds ago!" He shakes his head, gesturing as he speaks.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon puffed out his wings, offended*

"I didn't want to merge with donnie, he had just killed me!"

"I want to bs with gramgram but I don't deserve it!"

"We had no idea this could happen."

"Is there a way unmerge, and if so, will I still be alone? Its not like I can see any other ghosts or spirits"

[pancake-at-midnight]

"You make no sense-!"

Chiisai hisses before taking a long exhale and trying to calm herself.

"Look. I wasn't there when it happened. I can't tell you why you did it. But it's simply ironic that you both just clung to each other even after his death! Because it's what you did all your life. You're two magnets. Your consciousness just choose the solution without out you realizing it. Because it was just natural for you two."

She sighs annoyed. Chiisai takes a moment to check something, turning slightly to look next to her... even so there is nobody next to her.

"You can't see other ghost because you're on a different plane. Like- you're in a house in a different room than others. No ghost can go to you without literally entering the room you're in. And we can't simply redo that, Leon. If we mess up just a little bit, we could rip both of your souls to shreds."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He stills at Leon's words, his breath freezing in his lungs. He sinks in on himself, a few tears rising to his eyes. He didn't mean to. He takes a deliberate breath, squeezing his eyes shut for a second. He has to keep his focus on the task at hand. He has to fix this. Except, it sounds like Chiisai is saying this can't be fixed.

*What does this mean for us? For Leo? Can he be brought back?*

His hands shake slightly as he signs. He looks desperately to Chiisai, hoping there's some hope. Please. Anything. There has to be some way to bring Leo back.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon hissed slightly, swishing his tail*

"So, I can't be with gramgram, figures, and im going to be alone in this stupid plane of existence."

*Leon lowered his wings*

"Not like I deserved it anyway."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches both turtles before sighing.

"It's... complicated. Nothing we can fix within days... it would need a lot of energy, time and will. Because as long as you both hold on to each other, I can't do much."

"Souls are fragile. Especially when they're broken. You saw what it looked like on Mikey, Purple. And we have another problem. Leon's body. His corpse will still continue to rot. To say it bluntly."

She pauses, grabbing her black chalk. Chiisai starts to seemingly write in the air next to her. Three times the same thing.

"Please tell me you got his corpse..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He slowly nods, feathers twitching. Yeah, a broken soul is bad. He remembers that very clearly.

He nods again.

*Living room, with dad*

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Do you have to see my corpse?"

*Leon swished his tail, looking away, he doesn't exactly want chiisai to see his mangled body, he didn't even want lea to see his mangled body, or any of his siblings*

"Its a mess.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai nods, chirping quietly to Donnie. Then she looks at Leon again.

"I saw many corpses in my life. I will survive seeing yours as well. Also we have to stop the rotting process if we really want to revive you some day. Until then..."

She closes her eyes for a moment before writing something on Leon. Her eyes glow brightly for a moment and she lets out a tired huff. For Lwon, three new ghosts appear with awfully familiar colours... Blue, red and orange.

"Leon, these three are Iris, Ashok and Canna. They can keep you company from time to time."

With that, she slowly moves to the living room to see Leon's body.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

[In the living room, Splinter is sat beside Leon's stiff corpse. Leon's neck is angled weirdly, and his shell is cracked open like a bashed melon. Splinter seems to be trying to remember some kind of prayer. He looks up at the sound of footsteps, though, giving Chiisai a tired, startled look before his gaze shifts to his son in the doorway behind her. His expression softens a little, growing even more sad]

"Hello. You must be a friend of my boys. I believe I have seen you around the lairs, yes?"

Splinter's fur is slightly matted in the way it gets when he's been crying. He looks away guiltily, letting out a small breath. He does his best not to look at his twin's corpse.

"Papa, this is Chiisai."

Purple's voice is a little rough and ragged, definitely strained. He hangs back in the doorway of the kitchen, quiet and tiny. It's not right. Purple almost seems as lifeless as Blue, if it were not for his anxious mannerisms.

He clears his throat a little, giving Chiisai a strained smile.

"Ah. Hello, Chiisai."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to his corpse, whining slightly and looking away and the ghosts*

"Hi."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She kneels down in front of Leon and Splinter, nodding a greeting to him.

"Hello. I assume you're Splinter, right?"

Chiisai looks over Leon's body. Gently she puts a hand on his corpse.

"I'm sorry to disturb you... but we have to get him to the lair. Only then I can put... his corpse into a rest, so it won't.... rot away."

She speaks carefully and quiet. She knows that the death of the own kid is always the worst.

Iris, Ashok and Canna looking first a bit surprised. They stare at Leon before Iris comes closer.

"Hello Leon. I'm Iris."

He eyes the young turtle up and down. Canna follows quickly, almost pushing Iris to the side. He smiles at Leon.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He watches the girl for a moment.

"Stop the rotting..?" He quietly repeats, glancing to Purple.

He glances over at Leon, his tail swishing slightly. He looks away again, catching Splinter's glance.

He huffs slightly, giving a small nod before looking away.

He presses his lips before turning back to Chiisai.

"... alright. I do not understand, but Purple seems to trust you with this."

He listens for just a moment before quietly leaving, moving to the bathroom.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon swished his tail nervously, looking at the trio of ghosts*

"Hi.. iris"

"Glad to not be alone anymore.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches Donnie before turning back to Splinter.

"It's Purple's plan to revive Leon... to bring him back from the dead. I'm someone who communicates with the dead and help them."

She slowly stands up, starting to write some runes on Leon's body with her black chalk.

"Do... you want to talk to Leon...?"

Iris gives him a small smile.

"Yeah, it can be pretty lonely..."

"And you didn't go completely insane... another point for you."

Ashok comes closer as well now. Though he looks more serious.

"How did you die, Leon? Was it in a fight?"

Canna asks nonchalantly. Promptly, he gets a slap to the head from Ashok for it.

"Way to go easy on him, idiot!"

[loujitsu-4ever]

He nods, glancing towards where Purple had gone. He knows this must be very hard on him.

He looks back to Chiisai, eyes shining with a little bit of hope.

"Is he here?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"We had a fight, donnie pushed me off a roof.. I didn't even realize what happened..."

*Leon looked at splinter, whining slightly before lowering and folding his wings*

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods, glancing at Leon.

"He's here. I can't promise that he will speak to you as well, but you could see him and talk to him again."

Ashok stares in disbelief and Iris makes a sympathetic noise.

"Your own brother killed you?!"

Canna is killing the mood again.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to where Chiisai does, even though he sees nothing there. He looks back to her, nodding.

"I would love that."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked back to splinter*

"He... didn't mean to"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Canna wanted to ask before but Ashok quickly slaps a hand over Canna's mouth.

"It was an accident. Still, I believe he gives himself the fault for what happened."

She nods again before chirping to Leon. Chiisai lures Leon over. She does her job, once he is next to her and makes him visible for his father.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He waits as patiently as he can manage, looking for his son as soon as Chiisai is finished.

"Blue?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Splinter.."

*Leon looked to splinter, moving closer to him*

"Im sorry.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai gently pulls Leon closer to Splinter before stepping away. She will hold the veil up as long as they need.

Aster watches before slowly moving towards the window. Without waiting, he leaves and vanishes into the night.

[loujitsu-4ever]

"What for? This was not your fault."

He tries to cup Blue's face, but of course his hand fazes right through. He tries to hold back tears.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I hurt everyone I cared about.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Iris, Canna and Ashok want to come over but Chiisai gestures them to stay away. She doesn't want to spook the old rat.

She watches Leon with a sad expression.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He sighs, looking at his son with a knowing expression.

"I know you did not mean to."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"But i did! I hurt everyone I ever cared about!"

"I deserve to be alone forever.."

"I deserve this.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai tries her best not to intervene, to not make a comment. It's Leon's time with Splinter now. Not with her.

Mikey slowly comes out of April's room. He doesn't wear the headphones. As he spots Chisai, he stops in his tracks. But his eyes get a slight hopeful shine.

[loujitsu-4ever]

His expression goes sad, with an almost guilty quality.

"I am afraid that hurting those we love runs in the family, baby Blue..."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to mikey*

"Can you tell mikey that im sorry.."

"He is like this because of me.. I hurt him.. I hurt everyone.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai notices Mikey. She gives him a tired but still soft smile. Both looking at each other like they could talk without actual words.

Soon enough, Mikey comes slowly over to them, holding a sleeping Lea close.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to Orange, nodding an acknowledgement. He doesn't want to overwhelm him, so he will try to let Orange come to him.

He looks back to Blue, humming softly, face full of regret.

"I believe we have all hurt Orange... but yes. I will relay that you are sorry."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I'm going to find donnie."

*Leon looked to lea and mikey, whining*

"Im sorry mikey, lea."

*Leon disappeared in a whisp of ghostly presence, going to be with donnie*

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

She looks over towards the window, jumping slightly at the sight of a turtle sitting there. She moves over to the window, opening it for her.

"Chiisai! Im sorry.."

"But at least you will be able to see me, right?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods to Carol. Chiisai steps in, looking through the round.

"Thanks... Sorry, some neighbors were outside the door and I didn't want to scare them..."

Chiisai then starts to stare right at Leon.

"The voices told the truth... Hey Leon..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Ah. She nods, giving the turtle a small smile.

He huffs softly, ruffling his feathers and moving over to Chiisai and Leo.

"Chiisai..." He dips his head slightly in greeting, ignoring the way moving kind of makes his stomach protest. He shivers a little.

The turtle crosses her arms and looks dead serious (haha pun) at Donnie.

"You're lucky that you didn't die from it. You two smashed your souls together. Or to demonstrate it so you dumb idiots can understand it-"

Chiisai claps loud her hands together and leaves them pressed hard onto each other. You can see the pressure behind it, as her arms slightly shake.

"Papa, this is Chiisai."

Purple's voice is a little rough and ragged, definitely strained. He hangs back in the doorway of the kitchen, quiet and tiny. It's not right. Purple almost seems as lifeless as Blue, if it were not for his anxious mannerisms.

"Hello Leon. I'm Iris."

He eyes the young turtle up and down. Canna follows quickly, almost pushing Iris to the side. He smiles at Leon.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He watches the girl for a moment.

"Stop the rotting..?" He quietly repeats, glancing to Purple.

He glances over at Leon, his tail swishing slightly. He looks away again, catching Splinter's glance.

He huffs slightly, giving a small nod before looking away.

He presses his lips before turning back to Chiisai.

"... alright. I do not understand, but Purple seems to trust you with this."

He listens for just a moment before quietly leaving, moving to the bathroom.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon swished his tail nervously, looking at the trio of ghosts*

"Hi.. iris"

"Glad to not be alone anymore.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches Donnie before turning back to Splinter.

"It's Purple's plan to revive Leon... to bring him back from the dead. I'm someone who communicates with the dead and help them."

She slowly stands up, starting to write some runes on Leon's body with her black chalk.

"Do... you want to talk to Leon...?"

Iris gives him a small smile.

"Yeah, it can be pretty lonely..."

"And you didn't go completely insane... another point for you."

Ashok comes closer as well now. Though he looks more serious.

"How did you die, Leon? Was it in a fight?"

Canna asks nonchalantly. Promptly, he gets a slap to the head from Ashok for it.

"Way to go easy on him, idiot!"

[loujitsu-4ever]

He nods, glancing towards where Purple had gone. He knows this must be very hard on him.

He looks back to Chiisai, eyes shining with a little bit of hope.

"Is he here?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"We had a fight, donnie pushed me off a roof.. I didn't even realize what happened..."

*Leon looked at splinter, whining slightly before lowering and folding his wings*

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods, glancing at Leon.

"He's here. I can't promise that he will speak to you as well, but you could see him and talk to him again."

Ashok stares in disbelief and Iris makes a sympathetic noise.

"Your own brother killed you?!"

Canna is killing the mood again.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to where Chiisai does, even though he sees nothing there. He looks back to her, nodding.

"I would love that."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked back to splinter*

"He... didn't mean to"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Canna wanted to ask before but Ashok quickly slaps a hand over Canna's mouth.

"It was an accident. Still, I believe he gives himself the fault for what happened."

She nods again before chirping to Leon. Chiisai lures Leon over. She does her job, once he is next to her and makes him visible for his father.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He waits as patiently as he can manage, looking for his son as soon as Chiisai is finished.

"Blue?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Splinter.."

*Leon looked to splinter, moving closer to him*

"Im sorry.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai gently pulls Leon closer to Splinter before stepping away. She will hold the veil up as long as they need.

Aster watches before slowly moving towards the window. Without waiting, he leaves and vanishes into the night.

[loujitsu-4ever]

"What for? This was not your fault."

He tries to cup Blue's face, but of course his hand fazes right through. He tries to hold back tears.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I hurt everyone I cared about.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Iris, Canna and Ashok want to come over but Chiisai gestures them to stay away. She doesn't want to spook the old rat.

She watches Leon with a sad expression.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He sighs, looking at his son with a knowing expression.

"I know you did not mean to."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"But i did! I hurt everyone I ever cared about!"

"I deserve to be alone forever.."

"I deserve this.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai tries her best not to intervene, to not make a comment. It's Leon's time with Splinter now. Not with her.

Mikey slowly comes out of April's room. He doesn't wear the headphones. As he spots Chisai, he stops in his tracks. But his eyes get a slight hopeful shine.

[loujitsu-4ever]

His expression goes sad, with an almost guilty quality.

"I am afraid that hurting those we love runs in the family, baby Blue..."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to mikey*

"Can you tell mikey that im sorry.."

"He is like this because of me.. I hurt him.. I hurt everyone.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai notices Mikey. She gives him a tired but still soft smile. Both looking at each other like they could talk without actual words.

Soon enough, Mikey comes slowly over to them, holding a sleeping Lea close.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to Orange, nodding an acknowledgement. He doesn't want to overwhelm him, so he will try to let Orange come to him.

He looks back to Blue, humming softly, face full of regret.

"I believe we have all hurt Orange... but yes. I will relay that you are sorry."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

Chiisai watches them all, gesturing to open the window for her.

@pancake-at-midnight @the-new-new-face-man-in-blue

She looks over towards the window, jumping slightly at the sight of a turtle sitting there. She moves over to the window, opening it for her.

"Oh, dear-! Come inside, hun."

He looks up, blinking before perking up a bit. Chiisai! She'll be able to tell his family that he isn't crazy.

@red-angel-of-prevent1ng-harm ?

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked at chiisai, moving over to her*

"Chiisai! Im sorry.."

"But at least you will be able to see me, right?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods to Carol. Chiisai steps in, looking through the round.

"Thanks... Sorry, some neighbors were outside the door and I didn't want to scare them..."

Chiisai then starts to stare right at Leon.

"The voices told the truth... Hey Leon..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Ah. She nods, giving the turtle a small smile.

He huffs softly, ruffling his feathers and moving over to Chiisai and Leo.

"Chiisai..." He dips his head slightly in greeting, ignoring the way moving kind of makes his stomach protest. He shivers a little.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked away, whining slightly*

"I didn't mean to hurt any of you.. im sorry."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She looks to Donnie to chirp a small greeting. Then Chiisai focuses back on Leon for a moment.

Her expression gets slightly irritated for a second.

"Purple, you see him.... right? Why did you two did...that?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He nods, frowning slightly. His tail swishes.

"Do what?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

(Tumblr you bastard)

"What do you mean? Can you explain why I can't see gramgram?"

"Was i not worthy..?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She stares at both.

"Your souls merged. You made an amalgamation of your own souls."

She didn't sugarcoat it one bit... She just ripped the so called band-aid off straight away. Chiisai points to Donnie.

"That's why you can see him."

Then she points to Leon.

"And it's the reason you can't move on. Because you aren't two souls anymore."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

His brow furrows as he stares at Chiisai for a moment.

"Wait, what do you mean we 'aren't two souls anymore?'" He uses air quotes to their fullest potential as he repeats what Chiisai said. "We- we merged? How does that even happen? "

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"That still doesn't explain why I didn't move the second I died."

"How does that work? What do you mean by that how could we do that?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai clicks quietly, watching both. She won't be gentle with her words...

"You didn't moved on because you're a velcro baby, Leon! You literally cling onto Purple! All of the time! And you apparently clung so hard on him after death that your soul merged without destroying itself!"

The turtle crosses her arms and looks dead serious (haha pun) at Donnie.

"You're lucky that you didn't die from it. You two smashed your souls together. Or to demonstrate it so you dumb idiots can understand it-"

Chiisai claps loud her hands together and leaves them pressed hard onto each other. You can see the pressure behind it, as her arms slightly shake.

"Right now, you both are like that-!"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He blinks, his wings puffing up a little. He winces slightly at the loud clap.

For a moment, he just stares at Chiisai's hands, his tail swishing a bit.

"... spirit stuff makes no sense..." He mumbles, rubbing his temple as he tries to understand. "I get what you're saying, Chiisai, I just don't understand how it happened-!"

He hisses sightly, his tail flicking a bit more aggressively.

"You're talking like we did this on purpose. I didn't even know this could happen until 10 seconds ago!" He shakes his head, gesturing as he speaks.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon puffed out his wings, offended*

"I didn't want to merge with donnie, he had just killed me!"

"I want to bs with gramgram but I don't deserve it!"

"We had no idea this could happen."

"Is there a way unmerge, and if so, will I still be alone? Its not like I can see any other ghosts or spirits"

[pancake-at-midnight]

"You make no sense-!"

Chiisai hisses before taking a long exhale and trying to calm herself.

"Look. I wasn't there when it happened. I can't tell you why you did it. But it's simply ironic that you both just clung to each other even after his death! Because it's what you did all your life. You're two magnets. Your consciousness just choose the solution without out you realizing it. Because it was just natural for you two."

She sighs annoyed. Chiisai takes a moment to check something, turning slightly to look next to her... even so there is nobody next to her.

"You can't see other ghost because you're on a different plane. Like- you're in a house in a different room than others. No ghost can go to you without literally entering the room you're in. And we can't simply redo that, Leon. If we mess up just a little bit, we could rip both of your souls to shreds."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He stills at Leon's words, his breath freezing in his lungs. He sinks in on himself, a few tears rising to his eyes. He didn't mean to. He takes a deliberate breath, squeezing his eyes shut for a second. He has to keep his focus on the task at hand. He has to fix this. Except, it sounds like Chiisai is saying this can't be fixed.

*What does this mean for us? For Leo? Can he be brought back?*

His hands shake slightly as he signs. He looks desperately to Chiisai, hoping there's some hope. Please. Anything. There has to be some way to bring Leo back.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon hissed slightly, swishing his tail*

"So, I can't be with gramgram, figures, and im going to be alone in this stupid plane of existence."

*Leon lowered his wings*

"Not like I deserved it anyway."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches both turtles before sighing.

"It's... complicated. Nothing we can fix within days... it would need a lot of energy, time and will. Because as long as you both hold on to each other, I can't do much."

"Souls are fragile. Especially when they're broken. You saw what it looked like on Mikey, Purple. And we have another problem. Leon's body. His corpse will still continue to rot. To say it bluntly."

She pauses, grabbing her black chalk. Chiisai starts to seemingly write in the air next to her. Three times the same thing.

"Please tell me you got his corpse..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He slowly nods, feathers twitching. Yeah, a broken soul is bad. He remembers that very clearly.

He nods again.

*Living room, with dad*

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Do you have to see my corpse?"

*Leon swished his tail, looking away, he doesn't exactly want chiisai to see his mangled body, he didn't even want lea to see his mangled body, or any of his siblings*

"Its a mess.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai nods, chirping quietly to Donnie. Then she looks at Leon again.

"I saw many corpses in my life. I will survive seeing yours as well. Also we have to stop the rotting process if we really want to revive you some day. Until then..."

She closes her eyes for a moment before writing something on Leon. Her eyes glow brightly for a moment and she lets out a tired huff. For Lwon, three new ghosts appear with awfully familiar colours... Blue, red and orange.

"Leon, these three are Iris, Ashok and Canna. They can keep you company from time to time."

With that, she slowly moves to the living room to see Leon's body.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

[In the living room, Splinter is sat beside Leon's stiff corpse. Leon's neck is angled weirdly, and his shell is cracked open like a bashed melon. Splinter seems to be trying to remember some kind of prayer. He looks up at the sound of footsteps, though, giving Chiisai a tired, startled look before his gaze shifts to his son in the doorway behind her. His expression softens a little, growing even more sad]

"Hello. You must be a friend of my boys. I believe I have seen you around the lairs, yes?"

Splinter's fur is slightly matted in the way it gets when he's been crying. He looks away guiltily, letting out a small breath. He does his best not to look at his twin's corpse.

"Papa, this is Chiisai."

Purple's voice is a little rough and ragged, definitely strained. He hangs back in the doorway of the kitchen, quiet and tiny. It's not right. Purple almost seems as lifeless as Blue, if it were not for his anxious mannerisms.

He clears his throat a little, giving Chiisai a strained smile.

"Ah. Hello, Chiisai."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to his corpse, whining slightly and looking away and the ghosts*

"Hi."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She kneels down in front of Leon and Splinter, nodding a greeting to him.

"Hello. I assume you're Splinter, right?"

Chiisai looks over Leon's body. Gently she puts a hand on his corpse.

"I'm sorry to disturb you... but we have to get him to the lair. Only then I can put... his corpse into a rest, so it won't.... rot away."

She speaks carefully and quiet. She knows that the death of the own kid is always the worst.

Iris, Ashok and Canna looking first a bit surprised. They stare at Leon before Iris comes closer.

"Hello Leon. I'm Iris."

He eyes the young turtle up and down. Canna follows quickly, almost pushing Iris to the side. He smiles at Leon.

"Stop the rotting..?" He quietly repeats, glancing to Purple.

He glances over at Leon, his tail swishing slightly. He looks away again, catching Splinter's glance.

He huffs slightly, giving a small nod before looking away.

He presses his lips before turning back to Chiisai.

"... alright. I do not understand, but Purple seems to trust you with this."

He listens for just a moment before quietly leaving, moving to the bathroom.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon swished his tail nervously, looking at the trio of ghosts*

"Hi.. iris"

"Glad to not be alone anymore.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches Donnie before turning back to Splinter.

"It's Purple's plan to revive Leon... to bring him back from the dead. I'm someone who communicates with the dead and help them."

She slowly stands up, starting to write some runes on Leon's body with her black chalk.

"Do... you want to talk to Leon...?"

Iris gives him a small smile.

"Yeah, it can be pretty lonely..."

"And you didn't go completely insane... another point for you."

Ashok comes closer as well now. Though he looks more serious.

"How did you die, Leon? Was it in a fight?"

Canna asks nonchalantly. Promptly, he gets a slap to the head from Ashok for it.

"Way to go easy on him, idiot!"

[loujitsu-4ever]

He nods, glancing towards where Purple had gone. He knows this must be very hard on him.

He looks back to Chiisai, eyes shining with a little bit of hope.

"Is he here?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"We had a fight, donnie pushed me off a roof.. I didn't even realize what happened..."

*Leon looked at splinter, whining slightly before lowering and folding his wings*

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods, glancing at Leon.

"He's here. I can't promise that he will speak to you as well, but you could see him and talk to him again."

Ashok stares in disbelief and Iris makes a sympathetic noise.

"Your own brother killed you?!"

Canna is killing the mood again.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to where Chiisai does, even though he sees nothing there. He looks back to her, nodding.

"I would love that."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked back to splinter*

"He... didn't mean to"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Canna wanted to ask before but Ashok quickly slaps a hand over Canna's mouth.

"It was an accident. Still, I believe he gives himself the fault for what happened."

She nods again before chirping to Leon. Chiisai lures Leon over. She does her job, once he is next to her and makes him visible for his father.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He waits as patiently as he can manage, looking for his son as soon as Chiisai is finished.

"Blue?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Splinter.."

*Leon looked to splinter, moving closer to him*

"Im sorry.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai gently pulls Leon closer to Splinter before stepping away. She will hold the veil up as long as they need.

Aster watches before slowly moving towards the window. Without waiting, he leaves and vanishes into the night.

[loujitsu-4ever]

"What for? This was not your fault."

He tries to cup Blue's face, but of course his hand fazes right through. He tries to hold back tears.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"I hurt everyone I cared about.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Iris, Canna and Ashok want to come over but Chiisai gestures them to stay away. She doesn't want to spook the old rat.

She watches Leon with a sad expression.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He sighs, looking at his son with a knowing expression.

"I know you did not mean to."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

Chiisai watches them all, gesturing to open the window for her.

@pancake-at-midnight @the-new-new-face-man-in-blue

She looks over towards the window, jumping slightly at the sight of a turtle sitting there. She moves over to the window, opening it for her.

"Oh, dear-! Come inside, hun."

He looks up, blinking before perking up a bit. Chiisai! She'll be able to tell his family that he isn't crazy.

@red-angel-of-prevent1ng-harm ?

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked at chiisai, moving over to her*

"Chiisai! Im sorry.."

"But at least you will be able to see me, right?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods to Carol. Chiisai steps in, looking through the round.

"Thanks... Sorry, some neighbors were outside the door and I didn't want to scare them..."

Chiisai then starts to stare right at Leon.

"The voices told the truth... Hey Leon..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Ah. She nods, giving the turtle a small smile.

He huffs softly, ruffling his feathers and moving over to Chiisai and Leo.

"Chiisai..." He dips his head slightly in greeting, ignoring the way moving kind of makes his stomach protest. He shivers a little.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked away, whining slightly*

"I didn't mean to hurt any of you.. im sorry."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She looks to Donnie to chirp a small greeting. Then Chiisai focuses back on Leon for a moment.

Her expression gets slightly irritated for a second.

"Purple, you see him.... right? Why did you two did...that?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He nods, frowning slightly. His tail swishes.

"Do what?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

(Tumblr you bastard)

"What do you mean? Can you explain why I can't see gramgram?"

"Was i not worthy..?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She stares at both.

"Your souls merged. You made an amalgamation of your own souls."

She didn't sugarcoat it one bit... She just ripped the so called band-aid off straight away. Chiisai points to Donnie.

"That's why you can see him."

Then she points to Leon.

"And it's the reason you can't move on. Because you aren't two souls anymore."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

His brow furrows as he stares at Chiisai for a moment.

"Wait, what do you mean we 'aren't two souls anymore?'" He uses air quotes to their fullest potential as he repeats what Chiisai said. "We- we merged? How does that even happen? "

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"That still doesn't explain why I didn't move the second I died."

"How does that work? What do you mean by that how could we do that?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai clicks quietly, watching both. She won't be gentle with her words...

"You didn't moved on because you're a velcro baby, Leon! You literally cling onto Purple! All of the time! And you apparently clung so hard on him after death that your soul merged without destroying itself!"

The turtle crosses her arms and looks dead serious (haha pun) at Donnie.

"You're lucky that you didn't die from it. You two smashed your souls together. Or to demonstrate it so you dumb idiots can understand it-"

Chiisai claps loud her hands together and leaves them pressed hard onto each other. You can see the pressure behind it, as her arms slightly shake.

"Right now, you both are like that-!"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He blinks, his wings puffing up a little. He winces slightly at the loud clap.

For a moment, he just stares at Chiisai's hands, his tail swishing a bit.

"... spirit stuff makes no sense..." He mumbles, rubbing his temple as he tries to understand. "I get what you're saying, Chiisai, I just don't understand how it happened-!"

He hisses sightly, his tail flicking a bit more aggressively.

"You're talking like we did this on purpose. I didn't even know this could happen until 10 seconds ago!" He shakes his head, gesturing as he speaks.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon puffed out his wings, offended*

"I didn't want to merge with donnie, he had just killed me!"

"I want to bs with gramgram but I don't deserve it!"

"We had no idea this could happen."

"Is there a way unmerge, and if so, will I still be alone? Its not like I can see any other ghosts or spirits"

[pancake-at-midnight]

"You make no sense-!"

Chiisai hisses before taking a long exhale and trying to calm herself.

"Look. I wasn't there when it happened. I can't tell you why you did it. But it's simply ironic that you both just clung to each other even after his death! Because it's what you did all your life. You're two magnets. Your consciousness just choose the solution without out you realizing it. Because it was just natural for you two."

She sighs annoyed. Chiisai takes a moment to check something, turning slightly to look next to her... even so there is nobody next to her.

"You can't see other ghost because you're on a different plane. Like- you're in a house in a different room than others. No ghost can go to you without literally entering the room you're in. And we can't simply redo that, Leon. If we mess up just a little bit, we could rip both of your souls to shreds."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He stills at Leon's words, his breath freezing in his lungs. He sinks in on himself, a few tears rising to his eyes. He didn't mean to. He takes a deliberate breath, squeezing his eyes shut for a second. He has to keep his focus on the task at hand. He has to fix this. Except, it sounds like Chiisai is saying this can't be fixed.

*What does this mean for us? For Leo? Can he be brought back?*

His hands shake slightly as he signs. He looks desperately to Chiisai, hoping there's some hope. Please. Anything. There has to be some way to bring Leo back.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon hissed slightly, swishing his tail*

"So, I can't be with gramgram, figures, and im going to be alone in this stupid plane of existence."

*Leon lowered his wings*

"Not like I deserved it anyway."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches both turtles before sighing.

"It's... complicated. Nothing we can fix within days... it would need a lot of energy, time and will. Because as long as you both hold on to each other, I can't do much."

"Souls are fragile. Especially when they're broken. You saw what it looked like on Mikey, Purple. And we have another problem. Leon's body. His corpse will still continue to rot. To say it bluntly."

She pauses, grabbing her black chalk. Chiisai starts to seemingly write in the air next to her. Three times the same thing.

"Please tell me you got his corpse..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He slowly nods, feathers twitching. Yeah, a broken soul is bad. He remembers that very clearly.

He nods again.

*Living room, with dad*

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Do you have to see my corpse?"

*Leon swished his tail, looking away, he doesn't exactly want chiisai to see his mangled body, he didn't even want lea to see his mangled body, or any of his siblings*

"Its a mess.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai nods, chirping quietly to Donnie. Then she looks at Leon again.

"I saw many corpses in my life. I will survive seeing yours as well. Also we have to stop the rotting process if we really want to revive you some day. Until then..."

She closes her eyes for a moment before writing something on Leon. Her eyes glow brightly for a moment and she lets out a tired huff. For Lwon, three new ghosts appear with awfully familiar colours... Blue, red and orange.

"Leon, these three are Iris, Ashok and Canna. They can keep you company from time to time."

With that, she slowly moves to the living room to see Leon's body.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

[In the living room, Splinter is sat beside Leon's stiff corpse. Leon's neck is angled weirdly, and his shell is cracked open like a bashed melon. Splinter seems to be trying to remember some kind of prayer. He looks up at the sound of footsteps, though, giving Chiisai a tired, startled look before his gaze shifts to his son in the doorway behind her. His expression softens a little, growing even more sad]

"Hello. You must be a friend of my boys. I believe I have seen you around the lairs, yes?"

Splinter's fur is slightly matted in the way it gets when he's been crying. He looks away guiltily, letting out a small breath. He does his best not to look at his twin's corpse.

"Papa, this is Chiisai."

Purple's voice is a little rough and ragged, definitely strained. He hangs back in the doorway of the kitchen, quiet and tiny. It's not right. Purple almost seems as lifeless as Blue, if it were not for his anxious mannerisms.

He clears his throat a little, giving Chiisai a strained smile.

"Ah. Hello, Chiisai."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to his corpse, whining slightly and looking away and the ghosts*

"Hi."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She kneels down in front of Leon and Splinter, nodding a greeting to him.

"Hello. I assume you're Splinter, right?"

Chiisai looks over Leon's body. Gently she puts a hand on his corpse.

"I'm sorry to disturb you... but we have to get him to the lair. Only then I can put... his corpse into a rest, so it won't.... rot away."

She speaks carefully and quiet. She knows that the death of the own kid is always the worst.

Iris, Ashok and Canna looking first a bit surprised. They stare at Leon before Iris comes closer.

"Hello Leon. I'm Iris."

He eyes the young turtle up and down. Canna follows quickly, almost pushing Iris to the side. He smiles at Leon.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He watches the girl for a moment.

"Stop the rotting..?" He quietly repeats, glancing to Purple.

He glances over at Leon, his tail swishing slightly. He looks away again, catching Splinter's glance.

He waits as patiently as he can manage, looking for his son as soon as Chiisai is finished.

"Blue?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

Chiisai watches them all, gesturing to open the window for her.

@pancake-at-midnight @the-new-new-face-man-in-blue

She looks over towards the window, jumping slightly at the sight of a turtle sitting there. She moves over to the window, opening it for her.

"Oh, dear-! Come inside, hun."

He looks up, blinking before perking up a bit. Chiisai! She'll be able to tell his family that he isn't crazy.

@red-angel-of-prevent1ng-harm ?

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked at chiisai, moving over to her*

"Chiisai! Im sorry.."

"But at least you will be able to see me, right?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods to Carol. Chiisai steps in, looking through the round.

"Thanks... Sorry, some neighbors were outside the door and I didn't want to scare them..."

Chiisai then starts to stare right at Leon.

"The voices told the truth... Hey Leon..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Ah. She nods, giving the turtle a small smile.

He huffs softly, ruffling his feathers and moving over to Chiisai and Leo.

"Chiisai..." He dips his head slightly in greeting, ignoring the way moving kind of makes his stomach protest. He shivers a little.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked away, whining slightly*

"I didn't mean to hurt any of you.. im sorry."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She looks to Donnie to chirp a small greeting. Then Chiisai focuses back on Leon for a moment.

Her expression gets slightly irritated for a second.

"Purple, you see him.... right? Why did you two did...that?"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He nods, frowning slightly. His tail swishes.

"Do what?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

(Tumblr you bastard)

"What do you mean? Can you explain why I can't see gramgram?"

"Was i not worthy..?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

She stares at both.

"Your souls merged. You made an amalgamation of your own souls."

She didn't sugarcoat it one bit... She just ripped the so called band-aid off straight away. Chiisai points to Donnie.

"That's why you can see him."

Then she points to Leon.

"And it's the reason you can't move on. Because you aren't two souls anymore."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

His brow furrows as he stares at Chiisai for a moment.

"Wait, what do you mean we 'aren't two souls anymore?'" He uses air quotes to their fullest potential as he repeats what Chiisai said. "We- we merged? How does that even happen? "

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"That still doesn't explain why I didn't move the second I died."

"How does that work? What do you mean by that how could we do that?"

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai clicks quietly, watching both. She won't be gentle with her words...

"You didn't moved on because you're a velcro baby, Leon! You literally cling onto Purple! All of the time! And you apparently clung so hard on him after death that your soul merged without destroying itself!"

The turtle crosses her arms and looks dead serious (haha pun) at Donnie.

"You're lucky that you didn't die from it. You two smashed your souls together. Or to demonstrate it so you dumb idiots can understand it-"

Chiisai claps loud her hands together and leaves them pressed hard onto each other. You can see the pressure behind it, as her arms slightly shake.

"Right now, you both are like that-!"

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He blinks, his wings puffing up a little. He winces slightly at the loud clap.

For a moment, he just stares at Chiisai's hands, his tail swishing a bit.

"... spirit stuff makes no sense..." He mumbles, rubbing his temple as he tries to understand. "I get what you're saying, Chiisai, I just don't understand how it happened-!"

He hisses sightly, his tail flicking a bit more aggressively.

"You're talking like we did this on purpose. I didn't even know this could happen until 10 seconds ago!" He shakes his head, gesturing as he speaks.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon puffed out his wings, offended*

"I didn't want to merge with donnie, he had just killed me!"

"I want to bs with gramgram but I don't deserve it!"

"We had no idea this could happen."

"Is there a way unmerge, and if so, will I still be alone? Its not like I can see any other ghosts or spirits"

[pancake-at-midnight]

"You make no sense-!"

Chiisai hisses before taking a long exhale and trying to calm herself.

"Look. I wasn't there when it happened. I can't tell you why you did it. But it's simply ironic that you both just clung to each other even after his death! Because it's what you did all your life. You're two magnets. Your consciousness just choose the solution without out you realizing it. Because it was just natural for you two."

She sighs annoyed. Chiisai takes a moment to check something, turning slightly to look next to her... even so there is nobody next to her.

"You can't see other ghost because you're on a different plane. Like- you're in a house in a different room than others. No ghost can go to you without literally entering the room you're in. And we can't simply redo that, Leon. If we mess up just a little bit, we could rip both of your souls to shreds."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He stills at Leon's words, his breath freezing in his lungs. He sinks in on himself, a few tears rising to his eyes. He didn't mean to. He takes a deliberate breath, squeezing his eyes shut for a second. He has to keep his focus on the task at hand. He has to fix this. Except, it sounds like Chiisai is saying this can't be fixed.

*What does this mean for us? For Leo? Can he be brought back?*

His hands shake slightly as he signs. He looks desperately to Chiisai, hoping there's some hope. Please. Anything. There has to be some way to bring Leo back.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon hissed slightly, swishing his tail*

"So, I can't be with gramgram, figures, and im going to be alone in this stupid plane of existence."

*Leon lowered his wings*

"Not like I deserved it anyway."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches both turtles before sighing.

"It's... complicated. Nothing we can fix within days... it would need a lot of energy, time and will. Because as long as you both hold on to each other, I can't do much."

"Souls are fragile. Especially when they're broken. You saw what it looked like on Mikey, Purple. And we have another problem. Leon's body. His corpse will still continue to rot. To say it bluntly."

She pauses, grabbing her black chalk. Chiisai starts to seemingly write in the air next to her. Three times the same thing.

"Please tell me you got his corpse..."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He slowly nods, feathers twitching. Yeah, a broken soul is bad. He remembers that very clearly.

He nods again.

*Living room, with dad*

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"Do you have to see my corpse?"

*Leon swished his tail, looking away, he doesn't exactly want chiisai to see his mangled body, he didn't even want lea to see his mangled body, or any of his siblings*

"Its a mess.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai nods, chirping quietly to Donnie. Then she looks at Leon again.

"I saw many corpses in my life. I will survive seeing yours as well. Also we have to stop the rotting process if we really want to revive you some day. Until then..."

She closes her eyes for a moment before writing something on Leon. Her eyes glow brightly for a moment and she lets out a tired huff. For Lwon, three new ghosts appear with awfully familiar colours... Blue, red and orange.

"Leon, these three are Iris, Ashok and Canna. They can keep you company from time to time."

With that, she slowly moves to the living room to see Leon's body.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

[In the living room, Splinter is sat beside Leon's stiff corpse. Leon's neck is angled weirdly, and his shell is cracked open like a bashed melon. Splinter seems to be trying to remember some kind of prayer. He looks up at the sound of footsteps, though, giving Chiisai a tired, startled look before his gaze shifts to his son in the doorway behind her. His expression softens a little, growing even more sad]

"Hello. You must be a friend of my boys. I believe I have seen you around the lairs, yes?"

Splinter's fur is slightly matted in the way it gets when he's been crying. He looks away guiltily, letting out a small breath. He does his best not to look at his twin's corpse.

"Papa, this is Chiisai."

Purple's voice is a little rough and ragged, definitely strained. He hangs back in the doorway of the kitchen, quiet and tiny. It's not right. Purple almost seems as lifeless as Blue, if it were not for his anxious mannerisms.

He clears his throat a little, giving Chiisai a strained smile.

"Ah. Hello, Chiisai."

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon looked to his corpse, whining slightly and looking away and the ghosts*

"Hi."

[pancake-at-midnight]

She kneels down in front of Leon and Splinter, nodding a greeting to him.

"Hello. I assume you're Splinter, right?"

Chiisai looks over Leon's body. Gently she puts a hand on his corpse.

"I'm sorry to disturb you... but we have to get him to the lair. Only then I can put... his corpse into a rest, so it won't.... rot away."

She speaks carefully and quiet. She knows that the death of the own kid is always the worst.

Iris, Ashok and Canna looking first a bit surprised. They stare at Leon before Iris comes closer.

"Hello Leon. I'm Iris."

He eyes the young turtle up and down. Canna follows quickly, almost pushing Iris to the side. He smiles at Leon.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

He watches the girl for a moment.

"Stop the rotting..?" He quietly repeats, glancing to Purple.

He glances over at Leon, his tail swishing slightly. He looks away again, catching Splinter's glance.

He huffs slightly, giving a small nod before looking away.

He presses his lips before turning back to Chiisai.

"... alright. I do not understand, but Purple seems to trust you with this."

He listens for just a moment before quietly leaving, moving to the bathroom.

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

*Leon swished his tail nervously, looking at the trio of ghosts*

"Hi.. iris"

"Glad to not be alone anymore.."

[pancake-at-midnight]

Chiisai watches Donnie before turning back to Splinter.

"It's Purple's plan to revive Leon... to bring him back from the dead. I'm someone who communicates with the dead and help them."

She slowly stands up, starting to write some runes on Leon's body with her black chalk.

"Do... you want to talk to Leon...?"

Iris gives him a small smile.

"Yeah, it can be pretty lonely..."

"And you didn't go completely insane... another point for you."

Ashok comes closer as well now. Though he looks more serious.

"How did you die, Leon? Was it in a fight?"

Canna asks nonchalantly. Promptly, he gets a slap to the head from Ashok for it.

"Way to go easy on him, idiot!"

[loujitsu-4ever]

He nods, glancing towards where Purple had gone. He knows this must be very hard on him.

He looks back to Chiisai, eyes shining with a little bit of hope.

"Is he here?"

[the-new-new-face-man-in-blue]

"We had a fight, donnie pushed me off a roof.. I didn't even realize what happened..."

*Leon looked at splinter, whining slightly before lowering and folding his wings*

[pancake-at-midnight]

She nods, glancing at Leon.

"He's here. I can't promise that he will speak to you as well, but you could see him and talk to him again."

Ashok stares in disbelief and Iris makes a sympathetic noise.

"Your own brother killed you?!"

Canna is killing the mood again.

[loujitsu-4ever]

He glances to where Chiisai does, even though he sees nothing there. He looks back to her, nodding.

"I would love that."

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

Soon after the hatchlings are fed, someone knocks on the window. Aster looks up as well.

Chiisai watches them all, gesturing to open the window for her.

I wouldn't say injured- its best to show you

*poof, you are now teleported to carols (and with leon) *

He frowns. He doesn't like the implications, there...

[teleportation reaction will be in the main thread <3]

[loujitsu-4ever]

Yeah.... Anyway, they're at April's place with Carol.

He blinks, but nods.

[loujitsu-4ever]

Everyone's safe.. except leon..

"Oh... my poor baby Blue..."

He must be injured. His poor son.

[loujitsu-4ever]

Hmm maybe you should ask donnie

I can send you there

"... is Purple safe? I would not want to endanger my grandbabies, if I can help it..."

[Decided to save this until things were a little less... chaotic with Donnie lol-]

[loujitsu-4ever]

Well

Leon has a kid, I think you already knew that

And leon fell off a roof.

"Oh..."

That makes sense, he supposes. His stomach sinks with the last bit of information.

"What?? Is he alright??"
