writing warm-up
prompt: mikey, raph, and leo complain about the heat.
time taken: 43:04 (oops)
word count: 452
"Urgh," Leo groaned. "It's so hot."
The turtles were splayed out across the concrete top of a building, laying on their stomachs and sides. The sky above was an unyielding blue, filtered through the thin layer of smog that offered nothing but a distinct, smoky aftertaste to each breath.
Billboards buzzed and blinded, advertising restaurant chains and insurance. 'Have a coke and a smile!' 'Fly the friendly skies of United.' 'Great Wolf Lodge -- Bringing joy to families. All together.'
The sound of midday traffic faded into the backdrop of the city, voices shouting back and forth mixing with sirens in the distance. Up here, the sun beat down on their shells with little care for it's burn. The wind they had hoped to find high up on the rooftops was stubbornly absent, nothing more than a few half-baked attempts at a breeze.
"It's been three hours, he has to be done by now," Leo whined.
"I dunno, Leo," Raph replied, fanning himself with a large, red sensu fan. A dragon in shining black ink weaved across it's folds as if scaling a mountain, jaw outstretched in a yawn. "You know how Dee gets when he's doin' tech installation. A single misstep and we get a repeat of The Incident of '14."
A collective shudder passed through the group.
"I see your point," Leo admitted, rolling onto his stomach. "But also-- you couldn't even let me take my comic book? I'm right in the middle of "Jupiter Jim: Return to Shiroshi!"
"The sooner we got out, the better," Raph stated. He dipped his chin in a solemn nod.
"He'd better be installing a new air conditioner," Leo grumbled, but offered nothing more, languishing in dramatic silence.
"Hey!" Mikey piped up, sitting up. He'd been watching the street from above, arms crossed beneath his chin. "I know what we could do!"
Raph and Leo glanced over.
Mikey pointed over the edge. "Let's go to the aquarium!"
"Urgh, no thanks," Leo groaned. "Right now, the only thing I want to see swimming is myself."
"And plus, we don't have our disguises," Raph added. "Sorry, buddy."
Mikey deflated a little, drawing Leo's eye.
"Hey, wait a minute," Leo said, sitting up. "That's not a bad idea! Why don't we go swimming?"
"That sounds great, Leo, but uh, where exactly?" Raph asked. "Unless you're looking to take a dip in the Hudson, we're not exactly spare any secluded beaches."
"Actually," Leo mused, "I was thinking something a little more..."
"Biocompatible?" Mikey quipped.
"Flashy?" Raph deadpanned.
Leo's mouth took on a slight curve, fingers across the hilt of one of his katanas. Glancing across the street, he set his eyes on one of the billboards.
"How about... splashy?"
