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: The Core
[Because they were definitely a made thing.]
Technology difference. Didn't know it was dad until last year. Took a while to open up.
[He looks at Splinter and smiles fondly.] I could help them after today.
Re: The Core
[she gives him a sad, if fond, smile.] Is that right?
... but yeah. Sometimes ... sometimes dads don't tell you what's on their mind till it's too late. [especially for heroes, she doesn't add aloud. if she hadn't learned better, she might've even thought, wrongly, that parental death was a given. but she knows better - it's just the case for most of them. points for Below - and her emotions twist internally at the thought; she isn't an exception to prove the rule, not on this one - at least most of those on her side only lost their parents after killing them at their own hands.] You get to consider yourself a lucky one that too late didn't come too soon for him.
Re: The Core
He opened up when it counted most. He messed up a lot, but never when it counted most.
[He looks at Cat.] Dad is complicated. Family is complicated. But worth it.
Re: The Core
[she looks at the image.]
I still want to go back and cut that chain tying the other part of you to his Big Idea, or whatever that was, now that I - took care of the other problem. Think we can do that, before this all runs its course?
Re: The Core
You should read your dossier too.
Re: The Core
... dossier?
[a beat.]
You already have enough on me to put me in a dossier? Donnie -
[she stops herself, clears her throat.] - actually, no, mostly I'm ... impressed. Especially that you're willing to show it to me, considering.
Re: The Core
[He gestures to the back of the room and a blue doorway and an orange doorway appear.]
Re: The Core
Re: The Core
Re: The Core
[and idk she's probably going to talk to that Donnie again too a little but if we just want to cut to her having broken the chain and come back through the blue door already and on into the orange one, we can do that too]
Re: The Core
[The Music Room is very much tentacle free, there is no orange glowing box, but there is a freed Mikey, a freed Donbot, and computer terminals now visible after all the tentacles with a scattering of handheld puzzles in front of them.]
