You know, I never got to do the big road trip thing. I never thought this is how I'd get to do it, but hey, new experiences!

[It's good to look on the bright side, right?]

So what fun road trip games do you guys know? There's gotta be some good ones! Some of you guys are from totally different worlds, right?

Here, I'll kick us off. I spy with my little eye something... blue!

[undyingcrow]

So it is.

[He could continue the game of I Spy, but this is Goro Akechi. He has other thoughts in mind.]

I've wondered if it's part of a cycle. Other vehicles, lost in the foliage. Old recordings... Clearly, something went awry within this world before our arrival.

[faceguy]

Well yeah, it's real apocalypse city here.

[Though he's turning over what Akechi said in his mind. It is strange, and when you add in the mysterious summoning circles...]

We're not the first people to try to make this trip. And most people don't get very far.

[undyingcrow]

My thoughts exactly.

[He heaves a heavy sigh. No doubt this is discouraging news.]

But I refuses to be like whoever came before. We've already made it further along, so we just need to brace ourselves for future adversity beyond the more feral monsters.

[faceguy]

Yeah, well, there's always something.

[Man, even though he's dead he can't catch a break.]

But alright. I'm game to make it to the end if you are!

kjhjkh just noticed the typo on the last tag xD pretend "refuses" was refuse

[undyingcrow]

Good to hear. You don't strike me as one who gives up so easily.

[At least, based on earlier impressions. He won't mention the incident with the tree, since Leonardo was hardly in his right state of mind.]

haha it's cool I got you

[faceguy]

That's right. Splinter didn't raise a quitter!

[Though he definitely tried to.]

[undyingcrow]

Good. That mindset will serve you well.

[He pauses, quiet for a moment.]

I spy something... black.

[He might as well humor the original spirit of the message, silly as it is.]

[faceguy]

Is it the road?

[That's the most obvious choice, besides some of the vehicles.]

[undyingcrow]

A valiant effort, but no.

[Heh, heh... Is it a bit cheap to take this approach and pick something on his person? Perhaps, but it'll flex those mental muscles more.]

[faceguy]

Uhhh... one of the cars?

[There's more than one to choose from.]

[undyingcrow]

Oh, I've seen plenty of darker vehicles, but no.

[He tries to suppress the amusement in his voice, but a little still sneaks through.]

[faceguy]

[He catches that amusement, and pauses.]

Oh, you picked something hard, didn't you?

[undyingcrow]

Where's the fun if there's no challenge?

[You've activated his trap card, Leonardo. Goro Akechi does not hold back...]

[faceguy]

Uuugh, okay... Is it the wraps on my arms?

[Someone else picked Leo himself, so it's not a crazy guess!]

[undyingcrow]

A person? An inspired guess.

[Getting warmer, at least.]

Though, no. It's not you.

[faceguy]

But that means it is a person. And if it's not me... It's gotta be you, or someone close to you!

[It'd be cheating to pick someone Akechi can't see, after all!]

[undyingcrow]

Hmm... But if it's me, which part of me?

[Time to test Leonardo's memory here. They had just encountered each other by the trees...]

[faceguy]

[This isn't how the game is played! But alright, fine. He's trying to remember how Akechi looked, out by the trees...]

Well, it's not your hair, that's brown... I don't remember what you were wearing but I don't think it was all black...

[Give him a minute.]

[undyingcrow]

Very astute observations. This holds promise.

[Sorry, Leo. This is much too funny.]

[faceguy]

[Yeah, yeah, yuck it up!]

Hmm... is it a part of your body?

[undyingcrow]

Hmm... You're close now. Very close.

[Were he a poor sport, he'd change his answer. Fortunately, he's entertaining some spirit of the game.]

[faceguy]

Hmm... already said it's not your hair... your eyes... uh... oh!

[Leo hadn't paid that much attention, but...]

You had something on your hands... Uh... gloves, or something?

[He perhaps doesn't remember them as talons.]

[undyingcrow]

Close enough.

[He could be pedantic and say it's his talons, but just this once, he'll have mercy.]

And now you've exercised your mind.

[faceguy]

Tricky, tricky, Akechicky!

[He prefers exercising his muscles, personally, but still.]

But alright, good game!

[undyingcrow]

...Akechicky.

[Leonardo, what?]

You certainly have a way with words.
