Productivity levels take a huge hit when you're holed up for a couple of weeks, getting over a concussion. It is No Fun. And yet it had been rest and recovery much needed, Donnie would have to admit, although as soon as he was able to, he's been up and about, especially once Leo's stopped hovering so much.

i. Ars Botanica (closed to Leo and Accelerator)
The first item of concern on his list is surprisingly not even of the technical sort. Since Huvrye's jailbreak they've been scarce from their usual apartment, which means his poor plants have been left unattended. His being out of commission hasn't helped, so he's not completely surprised, if just a bit upset that some of his babies did not make it. Some however look like they have a chance to be revived, they just need a place that someone can actively keep an eye on them.

Luckily, Donnie knows just the place.

Accelerator hadn't seemed to mind the initial intrusion and a few new blooms and potted greens arranged near the most ideal spot for sunlight- or indirect sunlight, as needed. But Donnie is only one turtle and while he'd been able to handle bringing over the ones that had needed the most immediate attention on his own, there'd still been a sizable amount left that needed to be moved, and he didn't want to linger around the apartment too much in case anyone was keeping an eye out for them. Thankfully while one pair of turtle hands wouldn't cut it, two pairs prove just about ideal enough, and so armed with a box a piece bearing an arrangement of potted flora and gardening equipment and materials, the trip is once again made to the esper's residence.

Leo's been left to do as he pleases once they're there. Donnie's taking the liberty of moving things around and setting his plants in the most optimal spots. Is Accy even home right now? Well, they'll find out, eventually.


ii. Ars Umbra (Open!)
With the collective efforts of Starfallen and Mechanima within the city, it seems like the number of guards has been thinning, but that doesn't keep Donnie from dropping his own. He still opts to do most of his activity at night where there are more shadows to blend in and less of a need to move in disguise.

Perched up high on a rooftop, he's not taking in the scenery, but rather monitoring windows displayed on the holographic interface of his bracer computer. Potentially one might catch him with his eyes closed for some strange reason.

Maybe it's not the turtle you notice, but the sight of a tiny purple light that blinks intermittently as it zips about between buildings, high above streets. Miniature drones, out looking for signs of any guard activity, or just the guards in general. Once Donnie gets a hit, he'll be on the move to investigate.


iii. Ars Relaxo (Open to whoever has access to Dylan's apartment)
In between more work on the sewer lair among other things, Donnie has been rather enjoying the fancy place that Dylan's let them stay in. He also hates it because going back to a sewer is never going to be the same again. This world's spoiled them so bad!!

Plate of leftover pizza beside him, if he's not actually sitting upright on a couch looking through stuff on a laptop or his phone then he's lying on the floor with his feet up on the couch for whatever reason (it's because he can), doing about the same. Probably not the best position to digest, let alone eat, but he do what he want.

Alternatively he'll have claimed coffee table space or something to use as a makeshift workspace for some gadgetry or another. Is it safe to be doing welding in here? Eh, he's been doing it in Huvrye's kitchen and hasn't burned anything down yet, it's probably fine.


iv. DIY

When Jason first moved in, he hadn't expected the penthouse to get as crowded as it is now. Not that he's complaining. With everything that's been happening recently, Dylan's friends need to be protected.

In terms of day-to-day activities though, it's been taking some getting used to on Jason's part. He's not used to having a household with this many people. So far, Jason thinks he's done fine and hasn't really bothered any of the others. It's usually none of his business.

The welding however, he can't help but be curious about.

"What're you doing?" He asks while purposely making his footsteps heard. It'd be bad to surprise someone while they're holding a welding torch.
robintohood: (Never gonna try to)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-07-10 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Jason has also being getting a funny feeling he's heard Donnie's voice before but hasn't clocked in yet that the teenager was disguised last time they met.

"I guess with the way things are going, it wouldn't hurt for the place to more like Fort Knox," he muses. "Sealing up some stuff then?"
robintohood: (I'm a myth and I'm a legend)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-07-10 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
"You've made lasers before?" Jason asks, curious and eyeing Donnie's piece.
robintohood: (Goodbye to my enemies)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-07-10 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Jason snorts.

"You break anything here and you're paying," he says dryly. "What's the range and how well will it burn?"
robintohood: (And a soldier)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-07-10 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Jason nods as he listens.

"Most people would immediately back away when they see a laser. It would at least buy a little extra time and distance," he says. "You're gonna make a few of these?"
faceguy: (we made it against all odds)

i let’s bother Accy

When Donnie brings up that he needs help moving his plants, Leo readily agrees - solely because it involves invading Accelerator’s apartment. Unlike Donnie, who has apparently been coming here for some time, Leo has politely respected his friend’s privacy!

But the time for politely respecting his privacy is over.

After Leo sets the box down for Donnie to deal with, he heads directly for Accelerator’s kitchen. The food on offering is exactly what he expected, so he grabs some onigiri and munches on it while he walks around and looks at everything.

“…Nothing but the furniture they put in here, huh? Man, he’s boring.”

Donnie has put his plants in here, so maybe Leo should consider adding some personal touches of his own.

For now he flops on the couch and starts flipping through the tv for something to watch.

Lucky for them, Accelerator has been at work all day, so they've got free reign of the place for a little while. Also lucky, he has made exactly zero progress on decorating the apartment, so there are plenty of sunny and semi-sunny spots for all of the plants.

Of course, he has to come home from work eventually and even though, when he approaches the front door, he can hear the tv on he doesn't bother hesitating. He just unlocks the door and heads on in.

"....."

Accelerator stops for a few seconds, taking in the whole scene. Nothing is trashed, it isn't Arcadian guards or vandals breaking in, it's just Leo and Donnie with a bunch more plants making themselves at home, so....

So he shuts the door, kicks his shoes off in the entrance, and immediately starts for his bedroom.

"Someone got hurt?" Jason asks, curious and eyeing the crutch. He wonders how much stuff Donnie's going to build.
robintohood: (I am real and the pretender)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-07-10 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fancy stick," Jason says. He then looks around at the rest of Donnie's work area. "What other security stuff you're gonna do?"
robintohood: (Goodbye to my enemies)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-07-10 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"For this place," Jason elaborates. "I'm just wondering what else you got in mind besides the laser. We don't know what's gonna happen next with the guilds and Arcadia."

As comfortable as Jason has been living in the penthouse, he doesn't see how it could hurt getting more security. Or maybe his years of being with Bruce has made him paranoid about safety.

Leo has been perfectly content to chill, and now, as Accelerator comes in, he also turns a big smile his way.

Accelerator, of course, responds by heading for his room, and Leo chuckles.

“Maaan, even your response to a home invasion is boring.”

Not that he and Donnie are particularly threatening (well, not in this context, anyway).
robintohood: (I have my flaws)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-07-11 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, having a better idea of the premises should come first. Maybe it won't even be necessary to add more security," Jason says. Not that he thinks the building actually has enough.

He then shrugs.

"Just some food for thought. What else have you made?"
levelshift: (do you want me to bow down?)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-07-11 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Accelerator doesn't stop.

"What do you want me to do, kick both of you and all those plants out the window?" He replies curtly. Fortunately, (fortunately????) the place is just a small one bedroom, so all he has to do is raise his voice a little for them to be able to hear him. "Because I can do that if you're expecting it."

He sets his crutch aside and drops down onto the bed with a thump, pulling his work phone out and plugging it in on the nightstand so it can charge. Then he flops onto his back and scrubs his hands down his face.

Oooookay, here we go. Socializing.

"Am I going to have to water all this shit?"

She's pretty itinerant these days, flying from place to place, figuring out who she is and what she wants.

She's more introspective these days, but that doesn't mean a purple light doesn't attract her as she's transiting over the city. It's a bit more of an effort to catch the little light, with a lot of statements along the line of 'c'mere you little bugger' or similar.

When and where she's from, drones are a largely neglected form of technology, at least like this. So she peers at it for a long moment, identifying its purpose.

"Huh. Somebody likes to do some peeping, looks like."

Is this a chance for her to chase down another bad guy? She can do that. She wants to do that. Be the good guy. Be on the right side.
