[Leo is coming to you live from near the factories, grinning big as he holds the camera at a shaky angle.]

Sooo, now that it seems like we have a repeat stabber on the loose, I think it’s worth putting out there that I can teleport! Totally cool, I know, but hold your applause for the end.

I’m willing to offer my services for anyone who doesn’t want to walk anywhere alone, especially at night. I’m not really scared of getting stabbed, after all.

[He raps his knuckles on his shell.]

Just think of me as the Turtle Taxi!

[He goes to turn off the camera, then pauses.]

Oh yeah, I’m Leo. Can’t believe not everyone has heard of me yet; I’m the best, after all!

[He winks and turns the camera off.]

I need to know how turtles get teleport powers; that's so cool!?!

Hah, thanks! It is pretty cool!

But this power is a Leo original! Got it for being super skilled and awesome! And also from the mystic powers that run in my family’s bloodline.

Both reasons sound fair, honestly. Do you have to be familiar where you're going before you try, or if someone says "drop me off at home" can you just, like, know, where their home is? That probably doesn't make any sense how I said it.

Teeeechnically I can go anywhere, but it definitely helps my aim if I actually know where I’m going. If I can’t visualize it I’ll probably open a portal to somewhere random.

[He cringes.]

I’m working on it though!

Well, at least there's only ... so many places you could wind up here, right? Like we're not talking about a whole earth's worth of space; small wins, you know. Practice makes perfect, anyway!

I mean, it’s still a whole planet. And it’s maybe possible for me to go to space. Haven’t tried.

Fair enough. That would be one way to explore new areas, I guess - maybe not a great way, buuuuut. Please don't wind up in space unless you have a power that lets you breathe anywhere no matter what.

My wolf can teleport. Maybe we could work together on getting people around. He can take an extra person along, not just me.

Yeah I think I better astro-not.

How about you? Been okay?

A teleporting wolf, huh? That sounds pretty cool.

Yeah. It's come in handy a few times.

[More than a few, honestly...]

[ That gets a laugh. A+ pun game. ] You're in charge of puns here now. But yeah, I've been surprisingly okay as of late considering....the everything currently. Usually I'm a danger magnet, so, hey, character growth or something. You?

[He grins. He knew his jokes were good!] Hey, thanks. Comedy is just one of my many talents.

Hopefully you won’t be a danger magnet for this guy… Don’t answer any weird phone calls.

[He shrugs.] I’m good as always.

I bet. My portals come in handy all the time!

[When he can use them right, anyway.]

Alright, so we have the turtle taxi and the wolf taxi!

Portals? Is that how you teleport?

Yeah! Or, well, if I want to go long distance it is.

How far can you go?

As far as I want to!

But, uh… I’m nooot the best at aiming if I can’t see where I’m going, or know the area well. So mostly I can just get around town.

Are there any not weird phone calls here? [ Slightly joking. ] But I'm glad you're doing good.

Aww, c’mon! A call from me wouldn’t be weird, right?

It helps Kosmo if he's been somewhere before, too. But he's surprisingly good. That said, we've both been here a while, and there aren't a lot of places left that we haven't been in the two cities, so if you need help finding places and getting around, we can help.

Oh, thanks! I'll hit you up if I need help.

[This is a blatant lie, he hates asking for help.]

So your wolf is named Kosmo?

[Keith was used to that. He was of the same cloth, and a lot of the people he spent time with were the type to not ask for help.]

Yeah. [Keith shifted the video feed so that Leo could see Kosmo.] He's a cosmic wolf. I found him in space as a cub. He was hurt and alone, so I took care of him.

Wait, he's a space wolf!?

[Now Leo is even more interested.]

You found him in space!? You've been to space!? Like, not just this planet.

[Keith nodded.]

Yeah, actually. I've been to a few planets.

[And not just because of Drift Fleet, either.]

My mom's from space.

Your mom’s from space!? So you’re like… half space-man!?

[That’s soooo cool!]

Man… That’s so cool. Wish my dad was from space.

[Across the multiverse, Splinter feels the chill of disrespect.]

[Keith gave a small sheepish chuckle.]

I'm sure your dad's pretty cool.

[You were a talking human-sized turtle, Leo. You were already pretty cool. If only Keith knew that Splinter was a rat...]

My mom's from a race called the Galra. So, yeah. I'm half Galra and half human.

Ah… psh, well, he’s, ya know…

[Oh, this is a rock and a hard place. Leo is way too cool to admit his dad is cool, but his dad also used to be objectively cool, even if he is less so now…

You know what, he’s just gonna grab that subject change.]

Galra? Oooh, sounds very alien! [He says this as a compliment.] Does that give you any cool space man powers?

[Keith understood that feeling, honestly...]

Eehhh... [Keith shrugged.] Honestly? I'm not really sure. I grew up as a human, and wasn't ever really given a chance to compare? I didn't know I was half Galra until I was almost 19. So, I guess... I just kind of took for granted anything about me that might have been a little different.

[Which really wasn't much. Sorry, Leo. Keith was definitely not drastically Galra...]

Oh... [Well, that's less fun. But still!] Well hey! It's still a cool fact to pull out at parties, right?

Heh, I guess. [He shrugged.] It's not like I go running around announcing it everywhere. It really only makes a difference when it comes to things like planetary relations and stuff right now. I kind of get some flack for it, too, depending on who I'm talking to.

[Half-breeds are kind of looked down upon among some old school factions in the Galra.]

Oh, that sucks. Guess space racism is a thing.

[Too bad.]

Well, I’m mostly-turtle part-human so you won’t get any flack from me!

Yeah... kinda. I don't have any real visible Galra traits, so I'm kinda lucky most of the time. A lot of the races we've been dealing with are recovering from an oppressive ten thousand year rule from the Galra Empire. There's been some retaliation, though I've been pretty safe from that if people don't know. But, on the other hand, some more... old school, I guess... Galra don't like half-breeds. So, you can imagine how well that goes for me sometimes.

[That got a bit of a smile, though.]

Thanks. Good to know. I've never had issues with a turtle.

[Considering Leo was the third one that Keith's met...]

Ohhh… politics. Phew, that’s rough. Definitely takes the fun out of it.

[Sorry buddy.]

We turtles are pretty easy going.

Yeah... it does. [Keith shrugged. Honestly, he tried to avoid it as much as possible. It was hard sometimes, having been in the positions he'd been in, but he hated doing it.

He did chuckle slightly at that, though.]

I don't know that I'd consider Raph easy going, but he was good guy when he was here.

Huh…? Oh yeah, the other Raph.” Leo’s heard. He would have been interested to meet him… but alas.

“Heh, my big brother is a big softie. So long as you aren’t skipping out on training…”

Which Leo had done a lot of before coming here.

[Keith smirked a bit at that, but then nodded.]

Well, training can be important.

[He understood that, definitely, but that comes with the life he'd had, especially recently.]

Anyway, yeah... just uh... let me know if you get backed up or something, and I can help transport people around if you need it.

Yeah, sure.

[He doesn't sound interested in training at all.]

Yeah, I'll keep you on speed dial. Thanks, man.

[Keith nodded.]

Alright. Later.
