Noise
It starts as just irritation. A metaphorical crawling under your skin. Things are too noisy, too bright, there is too much happening all the time and you can't take it all in-
It sounds so inviting, a freedom from the noise, but its wrong, its wrong, its wrong and the noise is getting louder, mechanical and foreboding as it sees you, it knows you are there, and it wants to make you apart of it.
For a moment, there is quiet.
You breathe.
And fall through water.

Then silence it, make it yours, make it you, take control and destroy what will not submit

Re: Personal Room
But good. Because you can't stop me. I am an unstoppable hurricane when I have decided I care about something.

[And then he looks at the photos, the smile fading.]
I really made a mess, didn't I?
Re: Personal Room
[ He bops Donatello lightly.... somewhere near where a nose should be. IDK my bff turtle biology, part 2. ]
You'll get your chance to try. Reach out halfway, and trust that everyone else will close the distance.
Re: Personal Room
[He jumps a bit at the boop.]
[...]
Halfway meeting is very important.
Though I'm not going to be able to until Sacrifice is under control. I can reach out to Protectiveness, but Sacrifice is too much to contain between the snake and the Kraang. I need help for that.

Getting deeper requires connecting with information. [He runs a hand over the top of the blankets.] Understanding loneliness.

[ Crow thinks for a moment, and he focuses on a memory.
The classroom is empty. But that was the point, wasn't it? Classes have ended for the day, and Crow is sitting in his desk, staring out the window as the sun sets.
It's funny how you can be surrounded by people sometimes and be all alone. But it's a hell of his own making. An illusion of a carefree student at Thor's Military academy, this false version of "Crow Armbrust" carefully positioned to blend in and keep an eye on the various movements in the area while he sets up his final plans. It won't be long now. A month and a half until everything crumbles to dust. A month and a half until his plans are, at last, set into motion.
A month and a half until he stabs the backs of everyone he's known in this fake, ephemeral life.
He can't lose sight of it. Nothing is real, not even those so-called friendships. They don't know the real him, and they'd be disgusted if they did. Which is fine. They'd be right to do so. He knows that none of this is "good." It's his own selfish vengeance and he'll reap what he sows. Both for good and for ill. But he can't back down. He won't back down. He's gone too far to back down now.
So why does his chest ache so much? ]
Re: Personal Room
Just need to build a door now and it should open a pathway.
Be careful. Sacrifice isn't without influence, but the Kraang is not Donnie. It will hold no feelings for you on its own.
Re: Personal Room
[ You know what? Crow is going to combine paper + ink for a DRAWING OF A DOOR and then combine that with MEMORY OF LONELINESS. ]
And yeah, I got it. I can't count on sentiment to get through to him. One way or another, this is gonna be a real fight.
Re: Personal Room
[There is a drawing of a door!]
[Its glowing blueredgreypink.]
The only thing known to be very effective against the Kraang is a super herbicide.
Re: Personal Room
Re: Personal Room
You might be able to craft it on the surface area, or you can go to the Lab.
Re: Personal Room
Re: Personal Room
Re: Personal Room
[ INK + PAPER = DOOR DRAWING because if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And then Crow combines THAT drawing with his own unwavering faith in his own fighting skills. ]
Re: Personal Room
Re: Personal Room
Alright, then this'll be my first stop. Might as well get any advantage I can.
[ To the Lab! ]
