Let's do the time warp again~
Who: Leonardo Hamato ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
faceguy and YOU
What: Leo has been aged up... into extra wrinkly adult Leo with added apocalypse vibes
When: Late July/early August
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: Potential for apocalypse talk, body horror, family death, dismemberment
[Master Leonardo, leader of the resistance, wakes up in a place he did not fall asleep - in the softest bed with the silkiest sheets he's felt in, well, ever. And he knows right away that some shenanigans are definitely occurring. This is not hisbeautiful house time, and this is not his beautiful wife body. He doesn't know everything, but enough foreign memories are there to explain that much.
Somehow he's ended up in the body of his younger self, somewhere that is not his own timeline. Weird, but then, his whole life has been weird from the beginning.
He's feeling pretty calm about it, all things considered. While he may not know exactly what's going on, he knows that this is a place his younger self found safe, and he feels like this situation will resolve itself sooner or later. He'll ask Mikey for theories once he's back, assuming he remembers it.
For now, well... might as well take advantage of a world that isn't on its last leg.]
A: Hot Bean Juice - 33-year-old Leo (Open to anyone with access to Dylan Brock's penthouse)
Does this apartment belong to a movie star or something? Swank-kaaay.
[Leo can't help but stare around in awe as he moves through the penthouse - even pre-apocalypse, he'd never been in a place so nice, outside Big Mama's hotel. Hopefully no one thinks he's an intruder; maybe he should come up with a better cover story than, "Don't worry, I'm just temporarily possessing my teen self's body."
Leo at this age is considerably taller than his younger self, just over six feet. He's broad and muscular, and one arm is missing, though luckily for him his big, bulky robot arm came with him. He carries one sword instead of two, a bright red mask wound tight around the hilt. He's got a good number of scars and a good number of wrinkles, but his smile is easy and relaxed as he moves around.
He heads for the kitchen (once he finds it), and quickly finds exactly what he was hoping for.]
Oh, thank you, Pizza Supreme in the Sky.
[It takes him a moment to figure out the coffee maker, but soon enough he has a mug full of steaming hot coffee, inhaling the scent so hard he nearly snorts it all up his nose.]
I've missed this so much.
[He hopes he remembers this; he wants to lord it over Donnie later.]
B: Bless the Rains Down in Michigan - 33-year-old Leo (OTA)
[Realizing his younger self has been living in Michigan, of all places, had been a bit of a shock, but Leo is nothing if not adaptable. He's figured out how to get around this place quickly enough, utilizing his ninja skills, and has taken some time to explore.
Rain moved in about an hour ago and hasn't let up, and Leo is delighted. No one appreciates how nice it is to just sit and let the rain hit your face until the water dries up and is replaced with acid.
Leo's sitting up on a rooftop currently, his feet dangling over the edge, his face just... turned up toward the sky, letting the rain hit it. His mask and scarf and pants are soaked through, but his eyes are closed and his smile is content.
He's remarkably good at noticing when someone is approaching him, no matter how much or how little noise they're making. He doesn't even look, he just speaks.]
You ever think about how great rain is?
C: And I Feel Fine - 40-year-old Leo (OTA)
C1
[Another slip, another distortion, and an older Leo is here again. From even further into the apocalypse now, his face looks even more haggard, his clothes even more dirty and torn, new scars and new furrows covering his skin and shell. Two masks decorate his sword's hilt now, purple and red intertwined.
He's pretty sure he's dead, or will be soon. His time is over, his world is lost. But he sent Casey back, and he has all the faith in the world that Casey will accomplish the task Leo gave him.
Casey is their hope, after all. And hope is a ninja's greatest weapon.
His family is gone, and it stings, but there's a peace Leo feels, too. He'll be back with them again soon - Dad, Raph, and Donnie, who he's missed for so long, April and Mikey, the fresh and still stinging wounds. But first, seems like his soul is taking another detour.
The lights and crowds of Central City are... a lot for someone who's grown so accustomed to the ruins of civilization, and Leo finds himself getting away from it, eventually stopping in a scraggly, rundown park that it doesn't look like many people like to enter. Not that Leo is too worried about anyone attacking him, and he has enough of his younger self's understanding of the world to know he isn't putting him in any danger by being out in public.
He finds a bench and sits on it, just for awhile, watching the pigeons that hop by, the bugs, the wind in the trees.
Life here isn't perfect, he knows: there's crime, there's death, there's suffering. But there's life too, and isn't that incredible?
He just wishes he could have given his own world that back.
He'll stay seated until someone else comes along - if they look like they want the bench, Leo will move to the side.]
Hey, sorry - didn't mean to take up the whole seat, heh.
C2
[Maybe there's a reason people avoid this park, actually, because while Leo is chilling, he hears a crime in progress - specifically a mugging.
Leo gets up, moving quietly to get closer and take a look. It's a human with a gun, and he's not impressed in the slightest.
Soundlessly, Leo moves behind the mugger... and plucks the gun right out of the guy's hand, clicking the safety and then spinning it around his finger.]
I'll be taking that, thank you!
["Hey!" starts the mugger, but when he turns around and gets a look at Leo... he decides to make a hasty retreat.
Maybe you were the victim, or maybe you're just a bystander - either way, catch Leo smirking at the guy's retreating back.]
Ah, come on - [He glances at the person standing there, winking.] - there's no way this handsome face is that scary.
[[OOC: I'll match you if you'd rather do prose than brackets. Also I don't have room for adult Leo icons so you get teen Leo icons but just imagine the big guy, thanks.
Hit me up if you'd like something more specific!]]

[Donnie stoops down, taking the comic. He clears his throat, flipping open to the first page.]
The "Sensational Six"... "...head to Mars in order to investigate rumors of an alien presence who may have joined forces with their evil arch nemesis and former teammate, Heptatron!"
no subject
Leo is immediately going to start climbing into Donnie’s lap so he can see the pictures. Apparently he’s decided it’s story time.]
no subject
Sighing, he scrubs that little bandanna'd head as he adjusts his arms and the comic so Leo can see as he turns the page to continue. Guess they're doing this!]
no subject
Do voices, Dee!
[He's also demanding.]
no subject
Fine you little miscreant. [Really, there's no other way to do a proper comic reading, so he's not going to complain too much as he indulges his inner theater kid. There will be voices. Heavy on the dramatics too, but he is going to put on a show!]
no subject
He's clearly having fun, though, giggling at all the voices and cheering whenever anything exciting happens. They're making a bit of a scene in the middle of the comics store, but at least they haven't been kicked out (yet).]
no subject
He doesn't seem to have noticed the attention they've drawn, but they finally reach the final page in the issue and he winds things down to its dramatic and completely anticipated cliffhanger.]
...aaaand that winds it up for this episode, er, issue.
no subject
[Why is it a cliffhanger!? He wants to know what happens next!]
no subject
[He supposes he'll just buy this issue in the meantime since it'd feel pretty weird having treated the shop like a library kiddie corner. Leo can look into the rest of the series himself once he turns back to normal. If he turns back...
...that's a horrifying thought.]
-okay bud, can you get off now? I need to restore feeling to my legs and probably get a drink because of all that reading.
no subject
He goes ahead and rolls off of Donnie but he's still going to make a big show of pouting and scowling and being upset about it.]
Don't wanna wait until next month.
no subject
Come on now. Think of it this way, if it was all in one issue then it'd be all over and then you'd be sad that you had nothing to look forward to.
[Which is a total load of crap because he hates waiting for things too, but there are otherwise no easy solutions to this problem short of contacting the publishers to demand that they give his currently kid brother the next part of the story.]
-hey, you want a slushie? I could use one right now.
[So when in doubt, DISTRACTION.]
no subject
But despite not being convinced, the distraction actually works very well, because Leo's face lights up immediately.]
Slushies!? Blue raspberry!?
[He wants to turn his tongue blue.]
no subject
All right kiddo, let me just pay for this and then we'll go grab some.
no subject
[He’ll follow close to Donnie as they go to pay, humming a little to himself.]
no subject
