[If you ever wanted a screen full of dancing turtle your time has come. He has some sweet tunes blasting at first but after thirty seconds or so he slams those jams off and shoots finger pistols towards the webcam as his sweet moves come to a halt. This sure is a teenager who is mutant turtle that might be trained to be a ninja. He seems pretty stoked to be talking to everyone and doesn't seem to feel the need to explain things like Why He Is a Giant Turtle.]

YO! I'm Mikey! I'm in this Manchurian Falls place and I just got here and I got this brochure but it was real boring and blah blah blah. My bros are probably gonna portal themselves over or something soon to pick me up but until then let's hang! I gotta get in some sweet vacation time while I can.

Where's the best pizza here at? I got a need that can only be unneeded by about three boxes of large pizzas! I'm gonna stack them on top of each other like a perfect cheesy and tomatoey cake.

Oh my god you're a turtle.

[freckledninja]

Uh, yeah?

And you're a human dude! Or like some sorta shapeshifter who only LOOKS human cuz everyone else is human and you're afraid to stand out.

It's okay to be yourself! Be your own shape, shapeshifter guy! I won't judge ya! Unless you're like super buttugly. Like, made of butts.

[dendarii]

Just the one butt. And I don't think it's ugly.

[freckledninja]

Gotta work on your confidence! But I can't do that for ya.

So who are you? I'm Mikey which I already said but maybe you forgot.

[Gestures to himself as he says his name before giving an expectant look]

Can't be friends until I know what to call ya! Or I could make up a name! Like Frankie Joe or Grogson The Earth Shatterer!

So that's what a "cheesecake" is, zura...

[Finally, it's all making sense. Cheesecake is pizza.]

Eh...w-wait, your brothers are already coming? So soon, zura? My brother hasn't even shown up yet, zura...

[freckledninja]

They always come to get me. I mean maybe there was that time it kinda took awhile but D was saying something about weird passage of time or whatever. Maybe he was just trying to cover his shell. Still came! And I became super cool Savage Mikey while I was doing my own thing.

But forget them, back to the pizzacheesecake! You wanna do that thing with me? Cuz I am so ready to get my pizza on.

[monge]

[Komasan will gladly talk about pizzacheesecake, because he's honestly not sure what to make of all that other stuff. He'll just trust that it's true. And makes sense. People usually know more than he does anyway.

However, he's still a little lost on the lingo. "Get my pizza on?"]

Oh, well, I was just gonna eat mine, but you can wear yours if you really want to, zura.

[dendarii]

I'm - wildly curious to see what you'll call me, actually.

[freckledninja]

Lemme get a good look at ya! I need to be inspired! Like what if you gotta third foot or something and I can't see it!

[dendarii]

Nope, sorry. Just normal human plus powers.

[ He holds the comm out a little further though. He is a completely normal (if shortish average) human wearing ... a sarong. And no shirt. And the fanciest pair of earrings Mikey's probably ever seen. ]

[freckledninja]

I've worn pizza before but it's way better in my mouthplace. Can't taste pizza through skin.

That'd be an AWESOME power though. I could taste everything way faster! And way more things at once!

I'd become the most powerful cook EVER.

Tropical Funtime Georgie.

[dendarii]

[ Miles bursts out laughing at that. ]

I like it. Except for the Georgie part - my name's Piotr, actually.

[monge]

[That does sound really useful in the kitchen, however...]

Eh...b-but what if you step in something gross, zura?

...And wouldn't every hug be like licking someone, z-zura...?

[freckledninja]

Nice to meet ya, Tropical P!

[freckledninja]

I think I've licked most of the people I hug already.

Which yeah ain't a good taste. Maybe not such a sweet power.

[monge]

Maybe you can limit it to a place where not a lot of people touch you...l-like your elbows, zura! Or your tongue—

[Wait.]

...I guess that's already a power, zura.

[freckledninja]

Guess it is! I can still be a super chef even without tasting everything through my hands. I'll work on that! I got all kinds of sweet food ideas to work on.

[dendarii]

Same to you, Mikey. Are you a shapeshifter?

[freckledninja]

Nope! I'm a turtle! If I was a shapeshifter I'd be way taller. And have wings! And like super muscles when I fight!

[dendarii]

I do like the sound of wings. I can manage taller, though ...

[freckledninja]

Is it shoes? Cuz they don't make shoes for turtle feet.

[Holds a foot up to the screen and wiggles his toes]

[monge]

Mhm, that's good, cooking is a lot of fun, zura. Maybe if you have enough time, you can make a monge~ dinner for your brothers when they get here, zura!

I bet they'd like that, especially since coming here can be really scary, zura.

[freckledninja]

Scary? This ain't scary! There's buildings and people and pizza and no one is trying to shoot me with lasers at all!

[dendarii]

No, no. I've got a power that can make me taller. It's pretty fun, actually.
