Pop Quiz: How do you double a turtle's coolness factor?

It's simple. You give them a weapon!

The logical reason for Gio to have a weapon? Self-defense is a good skill to have when you're part of the Hamato household.

The actual reason? Ninja weapons are awesome.

I chose a chigiriki specifically because it looks rad. Simple as that. I do think it's a good choice for other reasons, though.

The staff portion is typically hollow, so you can be sneaky and hide stuff in it.

It's like an unholy fusion of Donnie and Mikey's weapons.

It's versatile, being good both offensively and defensively.

And et cetera.

This isn't a mystic weapon. It's just an ordinary chigiriki...that Donnie tricked out so the spiked portion can give electric shocks on impact.

And here's how I think "training" would go. Captions because my handwriting is tiny and sloppy:

Gio: So... How do I use this?

Splinter: We'll get to that after the Lou Jitsu marathon.

This was my first time drawing Splinter, by the way. He may be chibified, but I'm happy with how he turned out. :)

Happy New Year!!!

I got bored and found hex codes for the Rise turtles' colors.

These come from the official character sheets, plus a screenshot from "Mascot Melee" for Donnie's organic shell. I copied them all into Microsoft Paint, used the dropper tool to find their RGB values, and then converted from RGB to hex. Was there a simpler way to do this? Probably. But as the title says, I got bored.

Now it's Leo's turn.

Underneath the streets of New York City, tension stirs. A battle is about to commence. The stakes are high. Only one victor may emerge, and they alone will lay claim to glory.

It's game night.

Leonardo sits in the lair's common area with Raphael, April, and Donatello as they wait for the final two participants to arrive. They had organized this event so April could properly meet Regiomontanus, a new turtle mutant the brothers encountered two weeks prior. Gio has been visiting the lair frequently to partake in experiments with Donnie; even though they end up spending the majority of their time in Donnie's lab, they still interact with the others with some recurrence. Truth be told, though, Leo isn't the biggest fan of them. He actually happens to be stewing about it right now.

I just don't get it, the red-eared slider ponders. I mean, yeah, it's a given that Mr. Science loves them--new mutant, loads of new experiments--but enough to consider them a new sibling? I get Mikey doing that. He's always been a little mushy like that. But DONNIE? Why does he trust them so much?! Even Raph doesn't really seem suspicious of them! They just show up out of the blue, and in like a week, everyone's all over them! This can't end well. He inhales to clear his mind, then continues his train of thought. Look, I'll give them a chance with game night. That's the least I can do. But I just don't know if I can really be all buddy-buddy with them like everyone else seems to be.

As if on cue, Michelangelo runs into the room, dragging Gio along by the wrist. Nestled in the sea turtle's arms are a clumsy stack of seven boxes, presumably home to board games. The two stop, and an out-of-breath Gio immediately collapses onto the floor.

"Never...do that...again..." they manage to wheeze between breaths.

"Aww, c'mon, Gio," Mikey groans as he places his hands on his hips. "I think you just need to get more exercise."

"Yeah... I know..." They sit up after a moment, then carefully organize their boxes into a neat tower. Immediately intrigued, Donnie proceeds to examine this tower.

"Hmm... Pandemic, and Villainous. Lots of Villainous. You must really like that one."

"Yeah. I...I do. I think I have enough expansion packs for us to hypothetically play with twenty-one players," Gio responds with a slightly sheepish grin.

"...Good Galileo, that's enough for us and our rogues gallery of villains, with players to spare."

"I'm sorry, your what?"

"...Ah, shell."

Raph takes this opportunity to interject. "Donnie, language. What he means, Gio, is...um... There...are a lot of people who have it out for us. Yeah. And even though they can be awful to us, we're always able to put them in their place--just like superheroes and villains."

"O...kaaaaaay...?"

"Yeah. So don't worry about it." The snapping turtle gives a thumbs-up and a toothy grin for emphasis.

A moment of awkward silence passes, which Gio breaks with equal awkwardness. "So... Uh... What are we gonna play first, anyway? I know I brought lots of stuff, but we don't only have to play my games. What do you guys have?"

"Actually," Leo replies, "I'm kind of interested in this Pandemic game you've got. What do you guys think?"

The others agree with varying levels of enthusiasm. Gio smiles. "Well, then, it's settled. I'll start setting everything up...but I might need help shuffling the cards. I'm kind of garbage at it."

"I'll help with that," says April. "I mean, having five fingers instead of three is probably good for this kind of thing."

"Yeah, that's true... Thanks."

Five minutes pass, and the board is prepared. All that's left is for the players to pick their roles. Gio mixes around the seven role cards, gathers them into one pile, and passes them leftward to Raph. The cards then go to April, then Donnie, then Mikey, then Leo, and finally back to Gio.

"Huh. Researcher. This should be interesting," Raph remarks.

"Alright, Dispatcher! I was made for this kind of role!" April exclaims.

Donnie smirks haughtily. "Scientist. How could it be anything else?"

"Ooh, Medic!" Mikey gasps as he realizes, "And the little piece is orange!!!"

Leo can't help but snark, "Quarantine Specialist? So I just yell at people to stay inside?"

"Gah, Contingency Planner... I'll...do my best, I guess," Gio says with resignation. "Alright, let's see who has the highest population on one of their city cards, and then we can begin."

The game begins smoothly, but tension bubbles to the surface as the group races to cure the fictional diseases plaguing the board. By the time three of the diseases have been cured, an argument is underway.

"No, Leo, you don't understand," Gio moans as they press their fingers to their temples. "If you don't stay there, then there's going to be a chain outbreak between Kinshasa and Khartoum, and then we all lose." "Okay, but if I do stay here," Leo counters, "then we aren't going to cure Yellow in time, and then we all lose. Why didn't you grab that Silent Night card on your last turn? We wouldn't be in this mess if you'd just done that!"

"Because I can only do that once for each event card! Once we use it again, it's completely out of the game!"

"Well, gee, I didn't know that! You don't need to yell at me!"

"Well, you don't need to yell at me!"

"Uh, guys--" Mikey tries to interrupt. Unfortunately, his attempt falls on deaf ears.

"Uh, yeah, I do," Leo retorts as he clenches his fists, "because you haven't listened to a single one of my suggestions this entire game!!"

"The point of the game is to listen to everyone's ideas!"

"Well, it sure seems like you're the one calling all the shots!"

"Only with everyone's agreement!"

"Not mine."

"...What? Weren't you on board with a lot of those plans--?!"

"I'm not just talking about the game here. I may not have said anything about it back then, but I never agreed to 'adopt' you. I never agreed to let you so close to our inner circle. I never agreed to be ordered around by you. And I may have encouraged you to change your name, but Gio? Really? Did your nickname have to rhyme with mine?"

Gio, taken aback, struggles to respond. "I...didn't.... I didn't know you...you...felt that way..."

"Well, I do. Mikey should've at least asked me how I felt about the whole thing. People have acted nice to us in the past, only to turn out to be dangerous. If you were--if you are--like them, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I'd feel so, so guilty about letting someone like that get close to my brothers. I don't care what kind of interrogation Donnie might have given you; I can't take any chances. I need to know what you're really like, and what you really want from us."

At this point, the entire group has gone completely silent. All eyes are on Gio.

"...I feel like...no matter what I say, you won't believe me. And I get it. I've only been around for a couple weeks, and if those people are really as dangerous as you're making them out to be, then yeah. You've got every right to be suspicious. But I promise that all I really want is to be your friend. I think the whole 'adoption' thing is a nice gesture, but if you don't think of me as a sibling, that's okay. I...I get it." Gio, despite clearly being disappointed and hurt, does their best to maintain their composure.

Leo's expression softens slightly, and he sighs. "I won't stop the others from 'adopting' you. Heck, I may even get on board with it someday. Just don't push it, okay?"

Gio nods.

With renewed determination, Leo returns to the table. "Alright, then let's get back to this game and figure out what we're gonna do about Yellow."

"You guys go on," Gio says. "I need a minute." The sea turtle gives a thin smile, then quickly walks out of the room.

Leo grimaces, hiding his face in his hands. Great. You really beefed this one, he can't help but think. Maybe I should go talk it out with them some more.

He looks back up, only to find that Raph has already beaten him to the punch.
