[Emporio doesn't know what to say to this. He finds himself glaring at the screen in silence for a few long minutes, tucked partly into his shell as he stares from in his attic.

...

....he still doesn't know what to do. How to say it. How...]

You didn't even message. It was hours, and in the end Nanami just told me you forgot.

I just don't understand.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Hoo boy, he didn't think Emporio waited for hours for him to show up. Now he feels even worse.]

I have... this thing where I kind of get obsessed with stuff and just forget about everything around me, and really that's no excuse for what I did either just. An explanation.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

If you know it's a problem, why not warn someone?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Because he's an idiot who doesn't think about that kind of thing, Emporio.]

Usually... I'm a bit too deep into whatever it is that's caught my attention.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[A delay before he responds. After all, how does he.]

So what are you doing now?

[What are you doing to prevent this.]

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Right now? Aside from apologizing to everyone I was a jerk to... Not going to the Cube ever again.

[Cold turkey over here baby.]

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[That's one way to stop it. But-]

What are you doing to make sure it doesn't happen with anything?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Oof that is a good question.]

I... I don't know.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

You need to set up a system.

You already acknowledged this is a problem with more than just this. Which means the chances of it happening again are up there.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Well, usually my brothers but... I can't put that on Leo.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Also, you were pushing him away too.

[Not a good option if it fails.]

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Considering it kind of failed this time...]

I know, I... get very dumb over obsessions.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

So then you need a new option.

How did you even get out this time?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Leo and Bucky came and got me.

[He's not going to go into more detail than that.]

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

That worked but others coming by didn't?

We can't rely on just two people for a back up like this.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Other than the pink slime girl, no one else came to the Cube before then. [He means Nanami.]

... I usually have three.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[But she was a tr-]

She used the cube to become a slime?

Alright.

So in other words, you need to make it clear from here on that if you spend a certain amount of time with anything, anyone should pull you out.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Yeah she was a nymph first, but the Cube can do that. Make you look like however you want, so I was making it so I was how I was before I ended up here.

[Hopefully that gives some idea for why he got so obsessed with the place.]

I guess I should do that, yeah.]

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Set a time limit, and a level of force then.

I probably would have pulled you out using water cuffs if it kept up.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

A level of force seems a bit extreme, doesn't it?

... hahaha probably a good thing you didn't have to do that.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

If you don't set a level, people can go overboard without thinking it. It's setting boundaries.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Just not going to say that that is probably a good thing, to not have a limit.]

I see, I guess that's something I will consider.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[that's how people die don

don

don that's-]

You're deflecting again.

[yes he'll call him out now look what happened last time he didn't!]

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Look. Look.

Maybe he's a little masochistic. Maybe.]

I am not, I am considering your advice if this happens again.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Donatello, when you say 'I'll consider it' or 'I think about it', it's always been when you thought I was wrong and decided to do something else.

I pay attention to that stuff.

If you don't see the point in setting a boundary, maybe think about what it would mean to others. If you said 'do anything', some people will get worried. If you set a limit though, then those people can have peace of mind.

Besides, it shouldn't take maiming to get you away from something like that.
