[Everyone's favorite purple turtle flashes a practiced grin at the screen before he finger-guns at it. He's got to keep himself busy somehow while waiting for results for his weather balloon search!]

Making rounds today. Robin, Max, Lark- give me a head's up if you're busy otherwise I'll find you.

[He'd call out Wesker too but figures the man would prefer his business be on the down-low, so he'll just stop by the hospital office to see if he's there to make that delivery.]



[Maybe it's creepy maybe it's not but when you have access to a certain someone's camera network, it's not too hard to find people when he's looking for them. So Donnie will track down Robin and Max wherever they might be wandering or just wait by the place they've been staying at.

...alternatively he'll just leave them a small package, their name written neatly on it. Inside Robin's will be...well, it's not a walkman, because even if Donnie initially thought to make one, he decided that the cassettes were impractical for holding all the songs he wanted to put on it, and would be difficult to go through. So yes, it's an MP3 player loaded with every 80s song he's ever downloaded, including most if not all of the Eurythmics tracks, especially if they had a beat you could bop to. Yes, it's purple. He may have branded it with an engraved, stylized D. There are headphones and instructions that he's handwritten- the only reason it's not more than five pages long is because his hand's still recovering.

For Max it's that promised handheld gaming console, also purple, also branded- loaded with classics like she's familiar with, just current-dimension variants. It also has a few old-school style RPGs. Likewise it comes with handwritten instructions for general use of the game system.]


Also! This heat is atrocious but nights are slightly (if minimally so at best) more tolerable so I have set up an outdoor movie area by the wall of the empty factory- not the spider-filled one. Do not try to tamper with my projector or there will be consequences. First showing tonight will be a double-feature of Lou Jitsu and Jupiter Jim. Leon, if you would be so kind as to choose our viewing selections, I'll get them loaded up when I can.

Donnie, out!

I get to pick? How can I be sure this is really Donnie and not an imposter?

[thepurpleone]

Do you really want me to upload all your amazingly photogenic images that you know I have on my phone?

Anyway, if you don't want to pick then fine, I suppose I will just have to-

[faceguy]

No! To both of those things!

[Because he knows exactly what Donnie really means by "photogenic"!]

Start with Teriyaki Shakedown, it's a classic. And for JJ... Mm, Last Trip to the Moon probably does the best job setting up the characters and world. But skip straight to 2, the effects are better.

[Insomuch as JJ effects are ever good.]

[thepurpleone]

[He's not even bothering to hide that grin.]

Excellent. And yes, that is true. Very well, I shall have those loaded up onto the projector.

[faceguy]

[He is just going to ignore the grin!]

Sweet. Hey, does this place have popcorn?

[pursuitofcappiness]

How often are we gonna have movie nights?

[thepurpleone]

As often as people want them! I certainly have enough Lou Jitsu and Jay-Jay films backed up on my phone.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Sounds great. Count me in.

Need me to bring anything?

[thepurpleone]

Well my brother's covering popcorn and I need to figure out what we have around to actually pop it...

But if you think there's anything else we could use then feel free to bring it! Otherwise you can just bring yourself and anyone else who might be interested.

[stitch_witch]

I am indeed caught up in some work today, as you are asking. I will be in my workshop, though. This newly woven cloth will not turn itself into light dresses and tunics.

[Mostly it won't do that, not without her spending magic upon it.]

[Audio]

[thepurpleone]

Ooh! Mind if I drop by to watch for a bit? Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something cloth-related.

[stitch_witch]

You are quite welcome to join me if you're happy to let Little Bear pay some attention to you. If not, bring a bribe of some cubed meat to set aside for him and he will give you space.

And I am always happy to talk about cloth-related things.

[thepurpleone]

Alas, I have no meat cubes readily available but I think I can deal with the attention.

[Little Bear is a lot more behaved than the puppies at Todd's place, certainly.]

Great, I'll be right over.

[work_wife]

[Don't worry, Robin's available. She's trying her hand at this stupid obstacle course thing in the Civics Center. But damn, it's a whole mess, right? She's panting when she answers the message left, intrigued by it.]

I'm not busy at all. Just... Yeah. Getting my ass kicked by a glorified jungle gym.

[Audio]

[thepurpleone]

...pff. Okay, now I gotta see what you're talking about. I'll be right over.

[work_wife]

If you make fun of me I'm going to tell people you couldn't eat a full pizza on your own.

[It feels like it might be an appropriate threat. That she accidentally already outed him on. Oops.]

[thepurpleone]

Scoff! An easy thing to prove otherwise.

[But he'll try to be nice. At least he takes considerably less time to get anywhere when he's using his flight mode on his battle shell, so he flies right over to the Civics Center.]

[sunglassesincluded]

[ Wesker is indeed at the hospital. Not in his office, however, but in the workspace Donnie had to walk through before to reach said office. Said workspace is a large, very neatly kept lab where he is currently busy with a set of samples.

He pauses his work to acknowledge Donnie's arrival. ]

I take it you are finished.

[thepurpleone]

[Donnie walks over, by now knowing not to bother with greetings or to indulge his curiosity too much in trying to see whatever Wesker's working on. He nods, reaching into the bag slung over his shoulder.]

I've made trackers before so that part wasn't difficult. I wanted to make sure it was housed in something durable but sleek enough so it won't hinder Themis's movements.

[He pulls out the collar, a dark purple that was almost gray. He'd sacrificed one of the belts he'd gotten from the spaceport to make the strap, making sure the buckle wasn't too bulky nor too easy to pop off. The tracker's housing had been painted to match so it blends with the strap at a glance.

Donnie holds it out to Wesker, along with a small device in more of the turtle's preferred purple tones, a little stylized D stamped on the back corner.]

[sunglassesincluded]

[ Wesker nods his understanding and picks up the device, yet leaves the collar in Donnie's hand. ]

Good thinking. But I wouldn't expect anything else at this point.

[ He takes a moment to inspect the device, but only to familiarize himself with it. The colors don't matter to him. While doing so, he prompts. ]

Call her.

[thepurpleone]

[His positive response to those words is much too obvious as he practically glows in his delight. He's been terribly starved for any praise and whatever distance Tony's set between them for reasons he still hasn't worked out, hasn't helped.

Donnie does however hesitate as Wesker doesn't take the collar, blinking at what he says next. The last time Wesker had summoned the creature was just by a mere tap on the desk, but if she was going to be protecting people at the hospital, he'd probably have trained her to know her name by now. Anxious about calling a creepy dog-thing? Surely not!]

Um. Okay. [He clears his throat.] Themis!

[madginger]

You'll find me, huh? [ Yeah, that's a challenge in Max's voice. ]

Are you working your way up from kind guy who labels things for everyone to stalker?

[ She is totally looking forward to the gaming console, though, and enjoys talking to Donnie. Also.... ]

I'm not even going to ask what the movies are about. A movie night sounds overdue.

[thepurpleone]

[Oh, is that how it's going to be?]

Scoff! My schedule is way too busy to be spending time watching people's every move. Anyway I'm not the stalker here.

[He just makes use of the cameras someone's set up around the city because that's a normal thing.]

Oh, they're great- you won't be disappointed! Martial arts action and a scifi flick! [Maybe. Although perhaps Max would at least not be as affected by how dated the movies are, given they're circa late 70s into 80s.]

[madginger]

You...make it sound like someone else is the stalker?

I prefer horror, but like I said, not going to complain at this point. It's been too long.

[ That era is perfect for her, at least. And she'll accept the sci-fi. ]

How many movies do you have?

[thepurpleone]

Well I mean, we are pretty much being watched twenty-four seven.

Horror, huh? Yeah, don't have any horror movies on my phone but I'm not completely adverse to them on occassion.

[He shrugs.]

Over sixty and that's only counting Jupiter Jim.
