Who here knows the cartoon 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'?

Sure, kid. Whatever. I'm sure one day your parents'll enrol you in the super secret ninja school, just like you always wanted.

The Foot ninja clan. Big in Japan, trying to start up in New York. 'cept they're getting a bit of trouble there.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Really? I've never heard of them.

...are they a future clan?

....future clan? What the hell are you on about?

The Foot clan goes back to ancient Japan or something. Hell if I care.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid they can't be. I'm from that era and involved in that sort of work and I've never heard of them.

But, as it seems you're new, I suppose that would account for the difference.

This is that stupid alternate dimensions stuff again? Great. 'sif I didn't have enough problems.

You're lucky. The Foot can be bad news. Even if they are a bunch of ninja drop-outs.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm afraid so.

They can't be that bad if they're drop-outs. Those usually get killed.

-Julian Ikeda

[donetakinorders.livejournal.com]

A few drop-outs are easy to take care of. It's when there's a few hundred plus the elite guard that you start having problems.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

No, that's when you call it fun.

-Julian Ikeda

[donetakinorders.livejournal.com]

Heh. I like the way you think.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I think he's a newbie, Orangello.

♥

[notachick.livejournal.com]

That would certainly explain it, yes.

-Julian Ikeda

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

He seems grouchy. Maybe he needs candy.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

You think?

Well, everyone could do with a bit more candy around here. Try offering him some?

-Julian Ikeda

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

It's not like he's making it obvious, or anything.

Seems like he's pre-emptively refused. Oh well. More for me!

[notachick.livejournal.com]

♥ Of course not. ♥

Aw, that's unfortunate. Candy is such a great stress reliever.

-Julian Ikeda

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Tranquil as a butterfly. Still as a lake. Peaceful as the drifting moon.

Totally, totally. 'Cept I'm running out. Want me to pick some up for you?

[donetakinorders.livejournal.com]

What's candy got to do with anything? It sure as hell isn't going to make me calm down any time soon.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Oooooooh, somebody sounds a little defensive. You might wanna drop that attitude pretty quick before it comes back to bite you.

New York? Is that another one of those weird countries on Earth?

[donetakinorders.livejournal.com]

What've I gotta be defensive about? You're the one with the weird ideas.

...great. So what, you're an alien or something?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

You're the one who can't grasp the concept of there being ninja around. There's nothing weird about it.

What? No! I'm human. I'm just not from that Earth place - I'm from Gaia.

[donetakinorders.livejournal.com]

No, I just think it's stupid to say there's a bunch of ninja just sitting around on their shells asses. Even with just my brothers, we could take this place.

...more alternate dimensions?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say that we're sitting on our asses. Things are just going pretty damn slow, since it's so messed up here. Now, normally I'd be able to take care of this place on my own... but the jerks in charge take people's power, and you only get it back when you're brainwashed to work for them.

Um, I dunno about that. Just different planets.

[donetakinorders.livejournal.com]

Power? I'm a ninja. I don't need any magic or nothing. I'm fine with just my fists or my sai.

So then, what are these ninja doing?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Weeeell, it's not just magic I'm talking about, here. They slowed my reaction time, too. And I can't hit things as hard, plus a whole bunch of other stuff. You use sai? I prefer shuriken.

I can't speak for everyone, but I know there's a chunk of information-gathering going on. As for me, I'm working on the area over the walls of the institute. When we finally find a way to stop ourselves getting dragged back every morning, it'll be good to know what we're up against.

[strikes legible]

[donetakinorders.livejournal.com]

I prefer sai, but I'm trained in a lot of weapons. You gotta be, right? I haven't noticed anything like that other than the obvious, but I kinda got hit with a drug right after I woke up an tried busting out.

So you're sayin' nobody's going after the head guy? What the hell kinda ninja are you?
