WHERE: Around Temba and Sh'Ka
WHAT: Science, remodeling, and the usual tech-tinkering
WHEN: Early now
WARNINGS: N/A
NOTES: Will match tagging format!!


i. Flip It
A turtle's work is never done, but Donnie'd like to think he's been making progress. There's been some noise over in the area of the factories in the southern area of the city, one of which Donnie has been retrofitting to suit his and Sonic's (oh, who're we kidding, mostly his) needs. Giant rocket-powered hammers smashing out walls definitely makes noise, but he's gotten one portion opened up after figuring which side is exposed to the most sun during the long days. He's added in some extra support beams and cleaned up the edges just enough to make it look tastefully broken. Oh the things he does to make his own greenhouse, but once this part is done, the rest is considerably easy.

Today he's adding glass panes, big ones he's salvaged from other buildings. It's been some work but he's extra careful as he shoulders one into position. He's removed his battle shell for this delicate operation, not wanting to scratch it up with the metal. If he's not caught in the process, then he might be found tending to shelves just outside along another wall, filled with various potted plants (is that a blood vine...)


ii. Haul It
Wheels on uneven ground make for quite a racket, which Donnie is only too aware of as he rolls a table along the broken roads. He needs a replacement, seeing as how the Agrii kind of took his last one.

"Note to self, prioritize detachable rotors on battle shell with alternate surface attachment..." he grumbles as he tugs the thing, clattering along. Pushing it doesn't work quite so well for the way the wheels he'd slapped onto the thing just go every-which-way.


iii. Tech It
Whenever Donnie has Robotnik appointments in Sh'Ka, he always makes the most out of the trip since it takes so long to get to and from. After delivering his latest batch of experimental rechargeable batteries and any work he's assisting with at the tinkerer-doctor's place, the turtle teen's about the empty city.

Usually he's wherever there's power running somewhere, because that means there's some kind of equipment or machinery running. In this instance he's at the security station. The videos that play on the screens in there hadn't made much sense to him, quickly dismissed as some kind of weird nature program that Donnie had immediately lost interest in after thirty seconds. He's not here to watch stuff anyway! He's here to pillage!!! ...or at least figure out what's going on with the power here...

Sonic shakes his head, nah man he's always had his speed.

"Well... Man, that's a hard call. I'm used to getting up close and personal with my enemies, so close-up probably makes the most sense? but I was also a lot squishier when I lost all my powers so staying as far away from something that wants to kill me as possible might be the smarter way to go."

Give him a shotgun, Shadow would be proud.

[thepurpleone]

Donnie nods as he thinks about options. "Well, we're both kind of in the squishy department, but I doubt you'd want to wear any armor. So...distance would probably be more ideal."

Shotguns aren't really his specialty but he's no stranger to designing firearms!

[spinsandneedles]

"Armor wouldn't be a terrible idea as long as it wasn't something that would slow me down even more, or constrict my movement too much. I can still curl up in a ball and be all sharp, which actually really helped when things were trying to eat me."

Better make it a slingshot, don't trust this guy with firearms.

[thepurpleone]

Making mental notes here. "Uh-huh, okay, that makes sense. Hmm." Donnie grins a little then. "Okay, I just had this thought of making you a helmet with like, plates that go over your quills so when you roll up you're a big spikey metal ball but I think that'd probably add to the movement issue."

So....in other words, definitely give him firearms. Got it.

[spinsandneedles]

"Sounds cool in theory, probably super cumbersome in practice. Besides, the quills are fine as they are. Even if something pounces fron me behind, the most they're gonna get is a mouthful of hurt."

Give him all of the guns, yolo.

[thepurpleone]

But metal. "True, true. I guess if natural traits still function then why fix it? Anyway, I've got some other ideas. But that can wait for now. Finally!"

Donnie breathes out a sigh as they're within spitting distance of the factory. Time to get this dumb table inside and then Sonic can run free.

oh phone typos my old nemesis

[spinsandneedles]

They've almost made it!!! And they didn't even break the table along the way! See Sonic can do long boring walks as long as there's a good chat going on to distract him. But he might be rushing a bit now mOVE DONNIE.

"You'll definitely have to tell me what you've got in mind later, you inventor guys always come up with the coolest stuff!" No rush though, he has some laps to run.

[thepurpleone]

The last thing Donnie needs is to get run over by a table, thanks Sonic. He stumbles forward as he's bumped, scowling over his shoulder, but he doesn't need much urging to hurry up those last few steps. Once the door's open, the table doesn't nearly need as much guidance.

"Sure thing. I'll draw up some designs. Thanks for the hand, I'm sure you'll raring to dash off so I won't keep you any longer," he says, waving a hand.

[spinsandneedles]

Sonic just grins innocently at said scowling. He didn't do nothin' what're you talking about.

"Sounds good, bud. Give me a call if you need anything!" He gives Donnie a little salute, and the next second he's already halfway down the street.
