Hello? Hello? ...Ah-ha, just kidding! Leave a message after the beepity beep~

[purplexing]

You already admitted that he's not been very forthcoming with you! [Just pointing that out. Should he replay it?]

[faceguy]

So what, you think you can do better?

[purplexing]

As a matter of fact? Yes. Yes I do. Didn't have a problem talking with him before. Also he thinks my mystic-tech is cool.

[faceguy]

You… Wait, when did you talk to him!?

[Has Donnie just been hanging out with crime lords on the regular??]

[purplexing]

[Donnie sighs exasperatedly at that. What's with that response?]

During the big fight out in Excelsior! I helped him out when we were fighting those weird monsters and things that took other forms.

[faceguy]

[What is with the sigh! At least the context isn’t as bad as he thought…]

Society got ordered to help with that, too. It doesn’t mean he’ll be nice to you if you just show up on his turf.

[purplexing]

We got along fine! Anyway, if he does happen to have any attitude problems then I can just say he owes it to me.

[He decides against telling Leo that he'd offered his assistance if Hood ever thought he might need it.]

[faceguy]

[Leo grumbles under his breath, rubbing at his forehead, before he finally speaks where Donnie can hear him again.]

Listen, even if he is cool with you, it’s dangerous to be around him. Did you forget the part where Huvrye got shot just for being seen working with him?

[purplexing]

No, because I just found out about that part. [He arches a brow at Leo, almost challengingly.]

If that's the case, then I just won't be seen.

[faceguy]

[Right, okay, fair… Still!]

You say that, but then you tell me that you already had a different criminal forcing you to rob banks!

[purplexing]

How was I supposed to know the job I thwarted was under a big-name crime lord, there was no internet!!

[faceguy]

That doesn’t matter if you don’t get seen!

wow how did i miss this one

[purplexing]

Oh like you were staying out of sight yourself!!

whoops haha, all good

[faceguy]

I was only noticed by the people I wanted to be noticed by! Like a good face-man!

[purplexing]

[Donnie rolls his eyes.]

Uh-huh, yeah. Anyway, I stayed well out of sight after I didn't deliver the lock box.

[faceguy]

Well thank goodness for that! It’d be pretty hard for me to save you from a kidnapping when I don’t even know about it.

[purplexing]

I could have saved myself just fine but I didn't want to blow things up with my mystic-tech. The timeline was already getting screwed up as it was with us just being there.

[faceguy]

Both you and the timeline would be just fine if you avoided getting caught in the first place!

[purplexing]

OKAY! So I screwed up! I admit it!

[He sighs exasperatedly, crunching the coffee can until a golden glow envelopes it in his hand, and it's just suddenly not there any more.]

Want me to go build a time machine so I can go back and fix that? Okay, fine, sure, yeah, I'll just do that.

[faceguy]

[That… was a weird thing that just happened, and Leo almost gets derailed. But the time machine comment pulls him back.]

No, I don’t want you doing that! Maybe just lay off the traveling for the foreseeable future!

[purplexing]

[Donnie forces a laugh at that.]

I was being sarcastic! -and what are you going to do, ground me? I'm sorry- one, you're not dad and two- you know that never works anyway!

[faceguy]

Well maybe I ought to ground you! Hmph!

[Leo throws his hands up.]

[purplexing]

Well you can't!

[He huffs and starts gathering his things.]

[faceguy]

Where are you going now?!

[Leo wasn’t really serious about the grounding thing (Donnie’s right anyway, none of them have ever abided by a grounding), but he’s still annoyed (and a little worried) by the sudden turn.]

[purplexing]

Somewhere where I can actually think and not have to deal with this situation!
