#bapy time

~ Splinter didn’t know if the hatchlings should have a normal turtle diet or human baby diet, so he tried out multiple methods to see which worked best.

~ Raph ended up needing to drink a strong formula with turtle flakes mixed in, Mikey ended up needed to drink light formula with a few berries and greens mixed in, Donnie ended up sticking to apple juice throughout their entire youngling years, and Leo ended up needing a sweetened soy formula.

~ Leo enjoyed his formula so much that his brothers would get jealous and demand that he shared it with them (Splinter would never let this happen, and this served to plant the seed of Leo’s ego)

~ Mikey sucked his thumb as a hatchling, contributing to his tooth gap.

~ The twins would occasionally tag team Splinter and play with his tail for hours (He allowed them to do so, as he learned from the first time it happened that baby turtle teeth hurt his rat paws very much).

~ Raph was always the peacemaker of the family, and wouldn’t hesitate to separate his younger brothers from each other long before an argument/scuffle started.

~ Before finding out about pizza, the boys would happily munch on every mealworm, ant, and beetle they could find (they only stopped favoring them as much after they discovered their favorite food).

~ Leo was incredibly playful, cuddly, and curious as a hatchling, and would constantly snuggle up against his brothers whenever he felt like it (neither Raph nor Mikey minded, but Donnie would always give false threats to hit Leo before inevitably allowing Leo to cuddle up as close as desired).

~ The boys loved to jump into dumpsters whenever Splinter took them topside with him to search for supplies.

~ Not unlike the formula situation, none of the brothers allowed each other to eat their own foods separately; they had a system that forced them to pass their food around whenever they ate different foods.

~ Raph was a biter, true to his species.

~ Raph’s first word was: Daddy!

~ Donnie’s first word was: Papa.

~ Mikey’s first word was: PAPPY!

Its the Baby

The recently codenamed 'Snake' is more than a little giddy to have gotten a designation of his own. So giddy in fact that he may have broken a couple of rules to get out of his quarters and have a smoke out in the night. The floodlights keep it from being way too dark.

But not too light that you can't see the stars.

Or the shadows of something walking over.

"Fox, that you?"

The night, yes, is quiet. Aside from animals shuffling about, the wind, the distant calls of other animals, it’s quiet. And the quiet, the damned quiet, the quiet, the quiet. Nothing, nothing was worse than the quiet, the lack of people talking. The lack of others, the lack of company. Nothing was worse, nothing struck him with more horrible feelings than the quiet did.

And the quiet, the quiet, oh the quiet, how horrible it was to him and his thoughts, because he couldn’t bare to spend a couple of moments in them. He probably radiated negativity from his being, because creatures of the night would perch themselves on him like he was one of their pals. Animals could detect sadness, he’d heard, and while their company was appreciated.. It was nothing. Nothing, no, it wasn’t anything compared to actually talking to someone. Something.

Maybe they flocked to him because the bright colors on him glistened so in the night, or perhaps because they sensed his loneliness. Not that he’d prove himself to be alone for very long, because a streak of light crossed through the sky as to land on the developing planet’s grassy plains, to explode and cause a ruckus.

A ruckus would be much more interesting than sitting around. So, of course, the snow flavored wizard went and investigated. Drifting like a soundless ghost and perhaps looking a lot like one too as he got lost for a bit, then found the crater he’d been looking for.

Inside was a tiny orb, and a note with some writing. Due to it being pitch fucking black outside, he couldn’t see anything on the card. Also it looked like it was in another language, so he couldn’t read it regardless. There was a tiny little thing here now, though.

So, like any sort of curious person would.
