[Network/Action]

[thepurpleone]

[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!

Ancient?

[She looks vaguely offended by that, thanks. Not offended enough to make a big deal out of it in the face of the gift. But enough to want to roll her eyes.]

Guess that's just how advancement goes.

[thepurpleone]

[It's fine, he won't say how ancient. He considers early 2000s ancient already.]

Anyway, I have provided instructions but the operations are otherwise pretty similar to your standard Walk-Man. The main buttons are all labeled the same, and the display will give you the song title and playtime, etcetera etcetera.

[work_wife]

[Oh come on, that's not that long!]

Oh man, thank you. That's really great. Is there already media on here?

[Wait. No. Stop.]

It tells you the song title? And how long it is?

[That's cool.]

[thepurpleone]

Yep! I put all my 80s pop collection on there. I would've added some techno or dubstep but I don't know if that'd be your thing.

-and yes, and yes.

[Beat.]

You're welcome.

[work_wife]

I've never heard of either of those. And... Do you have non-pop 80s? Not that it's not good. But, like, rock is good too.

[A lot better, but she will live with whatever she can get.]

Oh trust me, I'm super grateful. I owe you for this, Donnie. I'm going to spend the next few days learning this thing. It's, like, magical technology. Thanks!

[thepurpleone]

Oh yeah! Not as much fun to dance to but I have copied whatever I could. I have sorted them by genre.

[He wrinkles his nose a tiny bit at the suggestion of magical technology.]

Excellent, if you have any questions you let me know. And you don't owe me anything, this is me paying you back for the whole...kid thing. [He waves his hand vaguely.] And the ride out to the garden.

[work_wife]

You're a god send. And I say that while I'm an atheist so you know I mean it.

[She's going to treasure this thing so much. And kill its batteries pretty soon.]

I have so many questions and you'll definitely get them sent to you. But this isn't payback. Because I was just doing the right thing then. So let me pay you back in one thing I think you'll cherish.

[She tucks the player away and smiles at him. Gives a pause for the big reveal.]

You're the cooler Turtle, by far. Don't tell your brother. I don't think he could handle it emotionally.

[thepurpleone]

[He looks ready to object, but her comment leaves him curious, so he waits. And when Robin passes her judgment, he arches a brow at her, letting the words sink in as he smothers a grin.]

Well. Stating pure facts hardly counts but I think in this case I will let it slide.

[work_wife]

Yeah, but it's one thing to think it about yourself and another to have someone your brother has blatantly asked who is cooler and hotter of the two of you flat out tell you to your face that it's you.

[thepurpleone]

[Donnie can't help but laugh.]

Oh that definitely sounds like Leo all right.

[work_wife]

I'm sure it does. But there. It's said. I did it. Thank you again. I need to go and start listening to all of this.

[thepurpleone]

I had a feeling you would. Which is why I pre-charged it. You should have roughly thirty hours of listening time before you have to charge it again.

[He grins, taking a step back.]

Anyway, I'll leave you to it.

[work_wife]

Pre charged it? Oh man, you ARE the best.

[She almost wants to hug him. Would that be weird? It would be weird. Especially with him taking a step back.]

Later, King Turtle!

[thepurpleone]

[Oh man, narrowly dodging the bullet of physical displays of affection. Donnie gives her a bow and then off he goes~]

[work_wife]

[Robin waves but she's not paying too much attention as she's teaching herself the controls.]
