     ❝ left hook like that, you ain’t gon’ need much more trainin’ than you got. ❞

he gives her one last squeeze and then drops her. he bounces, cracks his knuckles and then returns to his fighting stance from before.

     ❝ c’mon, let’s go again. ❞

❝ — Alright. Big boy. ❞

She was then released, dark hues seeing him return back to his fighting stance. Sure, she may have whipped his butt the first round, however, that didn’t predict if she was going to win the second.;; Rolling her head some to crack her neck, both of her fists were up. The Hogosha waited for the right moment before dashing towards him — her arm reeled back and swing forward with her balled fist, trying to aim for his head.

4th of July Gone Wrong Starters

"I'm pretty sure that's how my cousin lost his thumb."

"So, the fireworks might have gone through the window..."

"The store ran out of beer."

"Can you Americans be less obnoxious?"

"I just saw an old man run down the street in a flag speedo."

"Stop shooting those off! My dogs are going ballistic!"

"You're supposed to let go before it fires!"

"Are you sure bootleg fireworks are a good idea?"

"Will you stop singing Hamilton already?!"

"Captain America didn't fly into an iceberg for this."

"I don't want to celebrate a country where Trump is a viable presidential nominee."

"Is it supposed to be smoking like that?"

"Oh shit. The flag's on fire."

"That bootleg firework ate a hole through the roof!"

"Don't point that at your eye!"

"Stop aiming at people!"

"I... think this is a real grenade."

"Everyone at this bar is dressed like a founding father. A sexy founding father."

"I don't think fireworks are legal in this state."

"No, you cannot throw poppers in the toilet!"

"Ha. Look. That last one exploded in the shape of a dick."

"My great-uncle is talking about Nam again. Help."

"Oh good. I was wondering when your family would start talking conspiracy theories."

"I just saw a mosquito fly off with at toddler!"

"Is it legal to drink vodka on Independence Day?"

     ❝ y’know, you say you ain’t never properly trained fo’ this shit, but you got a helluva punch. ❞

he laughs and hooks an arm around april’s neck, pulling her close in a heavy-handed side embrace. he’s sporting a rising goose egg on his head that makes the skin under his fur look purple.

     ❝ not bad, kid. ❞

❝Thanks. Surprisingly, I didn’t think it was going to go all that well..But hell..This proves to never underestimate the hogosha.❞

She felt his fuzzy arm hook around her neck, only pulling her into a side embrace close to his body. Oh boy, not so tight big guy — Her expression looked uneasy - more-so from his fur tickling her nose.

❝ Still, I think more training is necessary to keep this up. ❞

     “– This isn’t my apartment. Did we…?” He makes an       O with his fingers, and then pokes his index from his       other hand into it a few times.

❝What? Oh, uh. No. — ❞

Dark hues stayed on the male in the suit, her head shaking slowly. That was a pretty odd question, along with him doing the action with his hands. What a strange man.

❝ I found you unconscious out on the street and...Well, decided to help you out there a bit...I’m sure you probably feel. Wasted.❞

Having brought nothing for himself, he stood for a moment. Then, his body shifted, legs taking a descend to end up on the knees without feeling his bent bottom limbs aches or acquire utter pain. He was used to do that and with no plan to leave anytime soon, Donnie just hoped what got brought really satisfied the hogosha. Eventually, the terrapin heard April but also noted this vibe of reluctance.“You don’t have to force yourself in saying about it. But if this would relieve you, i’m not going anywhere”, if the other truly wanted to let it all out, he was not seated there for no reason.

❝ No, I think I’d feel better if I told you...At least just get it out there. ❞

April stated, popping open the can of soda and taking a small sip. She thought it was best instead of keeping it deeply to herself. Though, she felt it was silly for her to be taking this nightmare thing so serious.

Taking another bite of her pizza, she then watched as he sat himself down, reassuring her that he was hear to listen if she needed to tell him anything.

❝You. Your brothers....A-and Shredder were in it.....You guys were strapped down... being Tortured by him so inhumanly...❞ She was slightly on the brink of tears. ❝ And no matter what I do...I...I couldn’t do anything to stop it... — ❞

Getting to things.

omg

Why does she look like she wants to smack a bitch tho’ lmao

❝ I don’t want to hear that Mikey.... ❞

Hearing those words and how hard it was for him to actually say them was enough to cause intense pain within her heart.; He was hurt pretty bad and April caresses the top of his head with gentle care, giving him comfort while he was suffering. This was not going to be the end for Mikey, she GREATLY refuses it.

  ❝ I can help you and so can your brothers...Just breathe and hold on a little longer... ❞

Deep inside, he was curious but also willing to leave this bad experience unknown.It should eventually cease to exist, dreams and nightmares were just forms of hallucinations when sleeping either way. ‘’Not sure about that pepsi but i’ll go have a look’’, actually hoping there was some cans left of this beverage kind.

With that said, he just left to get the required edible and drink. While on the search, the mutant still questioned what happened to her but knew it should be better to forget. A moment went by and Donnie returned with a fairly warm pizza slice, the flavor April had asked. ‘’Sorry, all i found was some soda’’, extending the plate and unopen can towards the woman.

❝ Its fine..I needed a  liquid with some fizz ‘S all. Thanks.❞

The corners of her lips curved into a smile, reaching out her hand to accept the warm pizza and can soda he offered her. This was perfect — the smell of the cheese and pepperoni goodness mildly help to ease away the nightmare she had. Guess nothing can go wrong if you have some pizza around, it was like a blessing.

She take a small  bite.

Sure enough the pizza was helping, but somehow the reporter felt the need to tell someone about her stressful dream. And since Donniie was here aiding her, it wasn’t going to hurt to tell him. After all, him and his brothers ere all in the nightmare as well.

Sigh.

❝ Hey Donnie...You mind.....I mean like,.. if you have time, I’d like to tell you about this.. little nightmare I had... ❞

“I’m the secret inventor of UNO, April..” Donatello smiled in a silly way then wiggled his fingers together. “Are you sure?? Because if you do perhaps we could make it more interesting if you’re up to it.”

❝Heck yeah I’m sure ‘Mr. so-called Inventor of UNO’ I’m ready to OWN you in your own game.❞

She spoke confidently, slapping the cards down onto stacked pizza boxes, using that as a table for their game.

❝ Alright, lets make it more interesting, I like to add more fun to games. ❞

[reporterxx]

Needs to work on verses page. But is too lazy to do so. Story of my life.

Uncertainty slithered across the tall terrapin’s visage, that must have been more than just a silly nightmare. ‘’From the looks of it, what happened doesn’t sound this good’’, In moments like these, it was both to avoid questioning or ask what occured. However, Donatello didn’t wanted to make the other uncomfortable if ever unwilling to state what was wrong. ‘’Do you need anything?, a cold drink or warm pizza?’’, preferring to help out April in taking it easy.

@reporterxx

❝It...it was nowhere close to being good.❞

He was right, she did have a nightmare that was more than just a silly one. This dream she had was terrifying, heartbreaking and it just...felt all too real. It really did have an affect over the reporter, causing her to stir in her sleep frantically like she did just now. But thankfully all of it wasn’t reality.;; Removing her fingers from her temples, April glanced her dark hues towards Donatello after hearing his offering. A soft smile followed afterwards along with a slight nod. He was very kind helping her out to calm down her nerves the best he could. Pizza and a cold drink should be the cure.

❝ Y..yeah...that sounds nice Donnie..Uh..I’ll take a pepperoni slice...and some pepsi please.❞

Writing can be hard sometimes (due to lack of muse, mental illness, busy schedule, and other real life situations) and it’s really important that you don’t bash someone who is taking their time. You have no idea what they could be dealing with and the best thing to do is be supportive (let them know you’ll still be there for them regardless of what they’re dealing with, remind them that their health and real life things are more important than RPing, or simply tell them you understand if they need to take a break and wish them well. Supporting someone doesn’t mean you have to be their therapist) but if you no longer wish to RP with them, politely tell them instead of being passive aggressive.

tl;dr Not everyone can use writing as a coping mechanism, don’t make people feel guilty for taking their time.

“Wake up–you were hyperventilating, are you okay?”

She wakes up in a cold sweat, her chest rising and falling - rapidly panting till her breathing slowed down. A nightmare. The reporter had a terrible nightmare about her turtle comrades.;; Her hands reached for her face, fingers pressing against her temples in distress.

❝I’m…I’m fine…..Just a little nightmare is all…No biggie❞

[memes-for-the-rper]

Not-doing-too-good sentence starters

“Whoa, are you okay?”

“You took that hit pretty hard…”

“Don’t stand up yet.”

“That definitely looks broken…”

“Walk it off.”

“How are you feeling?”

“When was the last time you slept?”

“You look like shit.”

“Have you been eating enough?”

“Here, let me help you.”

“Why are you limping?”

“You’re really pale…”

“Did you just go throw up?”

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“______? You’re bleeding…really bad.”

“That looks infected.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

“I told you you’d get sick.”

“How many fingers am I holding up?”

“Wake up–you were hyperventilating, are you okay?”

“It was just a dream, you’re alright.”

“Look at me–you’re safe.”

“Take a deep breath.”

“Are you bleeding?!”

“How’d you get a bruise like that?”

“What happened?”

“Let me help you!”

“Can you hear me?”

“You hit your head pretty hard.”

“Don’t move.”

“I know it hurts, I’m sorry.”

“Breathe.”

Fair? No? Funny?… Yeah. Pretty much.

“Like bein’ taller than you takes effort.” 

He gives an amused scoff at her attempts. As she tries to lift herself up onto her toes, hopping up to grasp desperately for her mobile device, the closest she gets is swatting at Raph’s forearm. 

“Y’know there’s gonna be a lot’a big guys comin’ up against us. Consider this trainin’!”

❝ Whatever Raph just — ! ❞

Come on almost there — No, April, you’re reeeaal far off from reaching the phone.;; She swatted at his forearm more, hopping desperately on her tippy toes, grunting while she did so. Curly hair bouncing and his amusing scoff initiated her to try harder.

April soon placed her hand on his shoulder to try and pull herself up.

❝...Is...Is this really training...or...or are you just... toying around with me? Because my lucky guess is... you’re messing around!.. ❞ She yelled in between grunts. ❝ Gah! Raph! I will give you hell if you don’t return my phone! ❞

Heading off to bed right now my awesome sprinkles. I will get to things tommorow, good night!
