... Donnie?

[tic_tech_turtle]

[CRAP. Don doesn't reply for a moment.]

You okay?

[thepartydude]

[That does not sound like Donnie. Donnie does not sound okay he sounds hurt and Mikey's already on his feet.]

Donnie where are you? What happened?

[tic_tech_turtle]

[Don used up energy and breath replying to April and isn't in much condition to say it again. Especially not to Mikey.]

'Pril. Ask April. Please?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Yeah. Someone is here.

[tic_tech_turtle]

[Don doesn't say anything else for a moment. Then, with some effort.]

'Ronhide?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah.

What happened this time? You sound as if you were run over by Megatron.

[tic_tech_turtle]

[he mutters something too quiet to be heard, and takes a breath of air than ends in a small squeak of pain.]

Just hurts.

[Worried sick and trying so hard not to panic. Her voice shakes a little at first, but she's schooling it--managing it.]

[CARNIVAL?! O-Oh jesus.]

Stay there. Anything happens, tell me.

We're already on our way.

[It's obviously an after thought.]

Keep talking, okay? Keep, uh, keep me updated?

[betterthanraph]

April, keep him talking. Mike's on his way, so am I. [He'd ask you to come with, but...darling, he loves you, but they're faster. So. Come afterwards?]

[betterthanraph]

[And Leo is listening in on all of this, not wanting to split Don's attention further. He'll probably hop onto April's thread if Don gives her a straight answer.]

[dormant_beast]

. . .

Donatello...?

[tic_tech_turtle]

[That...is a voice Don has to focus to remember at the moment]

Anna?

[dormant_beast]

What...happened?

[Something happened - she's not dumb enough to ask if he's okay. It's apparent he isn't.]

[tic_tech_turtle]

...Just. Just a problem.

'Sokay now.
