[Audio] Just A Lil Buggy...

[saisdoesmatter]

*with the whole hitting up Nirvana thing and it NOT being the actual end of the road trip from hell, there were still lots of things to do. While others poured over information and the like, Raph braved the roads when the storms around the area weren't too bad. His bike was strong enough to take it and he had a feeling there was more to discover on the outskirts before they all moved on*

*even if he didn't have much luck, he parked at one point to radio in, since the winds made chattering to the rest of the convoy difficult at times*

Not much luck finding anything worth looking at within the agreed upon scouting range. I'd keep going but I know we're going to leave in the next few days so we'll be going further out anyway.

I'll be doublin' back in a few since I need a break.

I swear the terrain out here is trying to rattle me right outta my she--

*right in the middle of his report back, there's a sickening CRUNCH that cuts him off, following only with a scream of pain as the radio goes quiet for now as he dropped for the time being as another new monster form decided to sneak up on him*



[OOC: I promised I'd get this up before next event but Raphie's got double trouble coming his way. He'll pick up the radio to answer people who audio's back at him after he catches his breath but this boy's getting his scarab wings! :D Which means his shell's cracking to accommodate it. Otherwise you can come find him if you want.]

*he nods as he listens to that, before realizing what Donnie MEANS by that one - pausing only to LOOK at him*

...but what about you?

*he will take the ladder in a bit, since the roost will be cozy and it's better than crashing out somewhere not as comfortable. He was used to sleeping wherever, but he knows with how crappy he feels now? He could use a good sleep*

Alright, but if there's not enough room for whatever reason, just wake me up and I'll move.

[purplexing]

I guess...I'm more used to things? The changing back and forth is a literal pain and gross on the sensory level but at least it's not random anymore. ...and I'm not the one that's stuck with parts of something I have a phobia of.

[He's not rubbing it in, he's just stating fact. And really he does feel bad about it, because he's not sure he'd be able to do very well himself with bug parts. But he hates seeing any of his brothers suffer, and it's particularly painful seeing his strongest brother in such a position.]

All right, I will.

[Hopefully Raph doesn't roll around a lot in his sleep so he won't fall down back into the main part of the Tank. But being up in the taxi nest is considerably different. Given how picky Donnie is about things, he's done pretty well to pad everything up and buffer the sides with bundled blankets and pillows made from stuffing clothing. There's a particularly squished one that seems to get plenty of use.]

All good here?

*considering it was fact and he did have a phobia of bugs, it made sense that Donnie would logic that out at him. Raph listens, considering the offer itself, but he knows that his brother shifts between monster forms. And both Donnie and Leo have been here longer than he has. It would make sense that they'd be able to use the medicine that might cure them before himself. At least that's the way he works*

*torn between accepting and denying it, he gives a little weary smile*

I'll think on it, but right now? Hang onto it.

*the bruiser was used to just sitting upright and sleeping somewhere, so once he flops, he'll be in one place. But the fact that Donnie is offering his sleeping spot, when he knows how particular the soft shell is, is appreciated. He won't take the obvious favorite spot of Donnie's, taking one that will let him rest on his plastron so his back doesn't hurt*

Yeah, I'm good. Thanks, Donnie. I appreciate it.

[purplexing]

[Donnie shrugs at that before nodding.]

I'll check in later.

[He gives Raph a brief smile before dropping back down to take his leave.]

[saisdoesmatter]

Works for me. Be safe.

*he watches Donnie go before turning and flopping down in the current soft blankets and stuffing, glad for some comfort after all of that transforming crap. It's not long before he's simply out like a light*
