[Open] Generic 80s new wave, beep ba beep ba beep ba

Who: Leonardo Hamato [personal profile] faceguy
What: Various 80s shenanigans in the first part of the time travel plot
When: late March, 1985
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: none currently

A: Can we go thrift shopping?

[Turns out Leo's credit card doesn't work in the past, a fact that would not be shocking to most people but is a little shocking to the teenager. He just didn't consider it, alright!

Thankfully he did think to keep a little cash on him, though it's not a lot. Still, Leo has been making do his whole life, often with no money at all, so he's not intimidated by the challenge.

He has a skateboard he liberated from some trash, and new dudes purchased for a few bucks from a charity thrift store. He has fully embraced his best 80s style, which is to say bright colors and geometric patterns. Even if he weren't a turtle he would stand out right now.

Leo whirls around in front of the shop, checking himself out in the window and impeding foot traffic.]


Yeah, I can definitely get into this.

B: Crime Never Sleeps

[Sure, Leo is supposed to be looking for Chaos Gate, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a little time to stop some crime. Especially since he's made contact with Starstruck and his crew, and especially seeing how villains just run amok in Central City 1985.

It's dusk now, and Leo is currently chasing a duo of thieves that just held up a liquor store. He runs over the rooftops to avoid the traffic down below, then portals down to street level, just in front of the crooks. He raises his katana to halt their advance, one raised close enough to one thief's throat to make him stop dead in his tracks.]


Don't mind if I get to the point.

[Unfortunately, the other thief ducks Leo's swords and keeps running. Leo can only glance over his shoulder, irate.]

Hey, no fair! You're supposed to surrender now!

[Little help?]

C: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Turtle

[There are lots of classic 80s things Leo wants to try, but today he has been pulled decisively toward a pretty crowded roller rink that is doing a disco night. Though the place is packed, most of the locals part the way for Leo, given his inhuman appearance.

He's decided not to let it bother him, though, having an absolutely blast gliding around on the rink and dancing to the 70s and 80s hits blasting through the speakers.

As the song ends, Leo changes course and glides to the wall. Maybe you came with him or maybe he just recognizes you, or maybe you were alone and he decided to come pick up conversation. No matter the case, he spins to a stop and leans against the wall.]


This place is - oh, what do they say? ah - totally tubular.

[Insert obligatory eyeroll here.]

Anyway... Hm. A museum robbery- [He pauses briefly as he wonders if it's the same one that got recently exploded in their timeline.] -ah... Oh here it is.

[Donnie folds the newspaper over and taps at an article.]

Pretty recent. Guess we can head over there and check it out.

Well, in a deep emergency, you're free to contact me. I can't stand the idea of him not getting help.

[But yes, he knows what Leo means. He gestures to a nearby hotel, their target. He's got a room and everything.]

You've learned basic Stop The Bleed, right?

Good. And you know to write the time of the tourniquet somewhere that the paramedics can see it?

[And he pulls them into the hotel lobby, makes a beeline for the elevator.]

[Accelerator just scowls as per usual.]

Tche, don't read too much into it.

[He wouldn't be himself if he didn't make a simple statement involving emotions extremely ridiculous and dramatic.]

Have you found any important information you want to share?
purplexing: (I'm just better)

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-09-29 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
We know how to use a newspaper, yay.

[But at least Donnie looks a little amused. He nods, tucking the thing away.]

Anyway, let's get going.

[Accelerator clicks his tongue in annoyance.]

Why the hell did you meet him?

[Once they're in the elevator David hits a button for another floor and sighs.]

Okay, one thing we're going to need is to get you some reading material. Does that sound okay?

....

['Lots of eyes and ears' isn't how he operates. It's how Leo does though, so he isn't going to argue.]

So you're recruiting a whole team, huh. Great.
levelshift: (maybe I've been too dulled by peace)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-10-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Accelerator is quiet for a moment, debating whether he should just say 'no' or be honest.

....... They're friends, even if he doesn't want to admit it, so.]


... I don't like working with other people. And I don't know if it's a good idea when it's... her. It's bad enough you two have gotten dragged into this.

[It's good, even if it's painful to be doing this. It'd be a lot easier to just leave and let Leo do his whole team thing, and find Chaos Gate on his own and fix everything on his own....

He clicks his tongue again, exasperated with himself.]


... I don't know. I know you two can handle yourselves in a fight, but Mechanima had me watching her for a reason.

[He knew she was powerful, he's known for months.]

I guess I know what it's like screwing things up because you've got too much power and don't know what to do with it. And despite that I didn't do my fucking job, so here we are.
levelshift: (sigh)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-10-03 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[If he had been the telepathic kind of psychic, but he isn't. Not that that's stopping him from feeling guilty - he's good at reading people when he puts the effort in. He should've picked up something was wrong.]

....

[He sighs a little.]

As long as they don't confront her. She attacked us, and she likes me. Chances are total strangers will fare a lot worse.

Wonderful. I won't be able to provide perfect texts, but there might well be things in veterinary texts that will help you pick up on initial signs of long term issues. Mostly I'll start you on medical ones for internal damage.

[He waits for the doors to open on the elevator and he steps out into the hall.]

I've already good books and charts and some practice stuff in the room. And your own emergency kit.

Taking care of other people when they're hurt matters. And it itches at multiple medical degrees in my head to send you out of here unprepared. Come on. Let's start with discussing how to patch breaks in the shell as emergency care.

[Yes, he had been researching on this for a while.]
levelshift: (clarify)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-10-06 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
... Alright.

[Oh, thaaaat's a good point right there.]

I'm staying at a hotel nearby. [He'll give Leo the address and room number.] Leave a note or something.
