It was unseasonably warm for May, but that just meant three of the four turtles could now venture outside with no problems. The fourth turtle just went farther afield to be more antisocial.

Porthos was out on the grounds, stretching. His nunchaku were tucked safely into his broad belt. It was time to find some awesome oneness with righteous nature.

Also possibly find babes sunning themselves in a most reptilian fashion. He would join that party in a minute.

"Incoming!" Only reason the kid yelled is because she had kicked the soccer ball only to see Porthos in the way. She was dressed in shorts, and a tank top with regular sneakers, sorry Porthos bot the type of girl you're looking for.

[fourshelled]

The grommet was definitely not one of the babes sunning themselves, but Porthos was pretty chill about it. He knew how to go with the flow. He turned to see a soccer ball coming toward his noggin.

So he did what he should have. He knocked a righteous header back at Bobbi. "Watch it, wahine."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi grinned when he sent it back her way, she moved to catch it managing to kick it straight up.

"Hey I warned ya at least!" She wasn't sure what he had called her, but figured he probably wasn't really mad at her so continued to kick it up in the air juggling the ball.

[fourshelled]

Porthos scratched his chest like the shell could itch. He shrugged, his shoulders popping out of his shell slightly. He made his way over to where Bobbi was kicking the ball up.

"Thanks for the warning, grommet. Not a lot of action outside. Like everyone else is clucked by the watchers."

[iced_cherub]

She nodded catching the ball. "I had to get outside, was feeling too caged inside. That and I think I was driving Rose nuts kicking my ball against the wall in our room." She grinned a little though. "You play?" She held out the ball.

[fourshelled]

"Kinda sorta maybe. When me and the other turtles gather 'round." He smiled a little. He imagined a soccer game at a pond with little turtles around would go his way easily.

"You any good, grommet?"

[iced_cherub]

She thought on that a moment because she had met Pete, and she's still trying to tell the others apart.

"I was just a bench warmer back in my old school, but that was because Mom and Dad wouldn't sign the permission slip. Said it was too dangerous. Figure here, they can't say no as long as it's just fellow students in a game." She grinned at him.

[fourshelled]

"Phht." He sounded utterly dismissive of the danger of soccer. "Let's get... dangerous."

He reached for the ball. "Or as close as a teach will let us with a ball full of air."

[iced_cherub]

"I'm good with that." She tossed the ball his way. "Besides, don't injuries help build character or something like that? Really doubt we could do enough damage that we need more than an ice pack."

[fourshelled]

"Cheyeah. Except if we played with powers, you'd be a turtle coma-matic." He tossed the ball from hand to hand before dropping it onto the lawn. The man-sized turtle checked around for ready goal lines.

[iced_cherub]

"If we used powers, you'd be a turtle-cicle." She grinned a little. "Though don't worry, I only do that bit to ugly shoes."

[fourshelled]

"Harsh. Turtle-cicle means goin' over the falls for bodcious reptilians like me." He paused and squinted.

"Turtle shell shoes?" He dribbled the ball between his feet for a few seconds to get a feel for kicking.

[iced_cherub]

"Aw don't worry, I like you guys so I'd only do it if you guys went all bad, and only enough to slow you down so I could hide." She smiled up at him.

"And on anyone else... The shoes would be trashed. You might be able to pull them off. But really it's a bad fashion statement anyway. Like fur coats." She stretched a little, her wings spreading out some as she rocked on her feet. "Figure we use the trees there as goals?"

[fourshelled]

He nodded in agreement. "Gnarly."

Then he grinned and kicked off toward one of the goals. He chased after the ball. "Takeoff, grommet! Woohoo!"

[iced_cherub]

She grinned as she ran next to him, going for the ball.

"Totally on."
