[tries to slip out from under Raph, absolutely intending to retreat back to the lair]

[snappingturtle]

[IT'S SUCCESSFUL

for about two seconds until Raph regains his vision and snatches up the nunchuck he wrestled away earlier, hurling it at Mikey's feet to trip him up]

[freckledninja]

[when he hits the ground this time it's with a sharp and brief cry of pain and it looks like this time he cracked his head something fierce]

[snappingturtle]

[Raphael . . . hesitates, staring tensely down at Mikey with an intense but conflicted look]

[freckledninja]

[after a moment his hand goes for his head and he whinnneesss because ow. ow. and then just :( at Raph]

[snappingturtle]

[For just a moment there's a flicker of horror and regret in his face, and he starts to reach for him—]

[snappingturtle]

[but the moment passes. He shudders briefly, looking pained, and grabs Mikey roughly instead, pulling a length of rope from idk a belt pouch. *A ninja pouch.*]

[freckledninja]

You're hurting me....!

What kinda big brother are you?! Shredder'll shred me!

[his struggle isn't that great though, still hella dazed]

[snappingturtle]

[TYING HIM UP >( a little haltingly, but still making it fairly tight]

That's . . . That's the plan.

[freckledninja]

He's gonna kill me?

Or. Or are YOU gonna kill me?

[snappingturtle]

[JUST. STARES AT HIM

lookin kinda strained for a second]

[freckledninja]

Raph, you can still stop, bro!

[snappingturtle]

. . . [PUNCH IN THE HEAD]

[freckledninja]

[freckledninja]

[snappingturtle]

Keep your mouth shut.

[freckledninja]

Not happening!

[snappingturtle]

[HOLDS A SAI ALARMINGLY CLOSE TO HIS FACE]

Quiet.

[freckledninja]

G-go ahead and stick me!

[snappingturtle]

[. . . KICKS HIM IN THE GUT and stomps a few feet away]

[freckledninja]

[cries out and falls on his side, not able to get himself back up]

...still not stuck

[snappingturtle]

I can fix that!

[freckledninja]

Can you fix these ropes? Way too tight!

[snappingturtle]

They're supposed to be.

[freckledninja]

Fix it anyway?
