“Hey hey heeey, my dudes! If you’re hearing this, then first of all, WOOHOO, IT’S FINALLY WORKING!! And second, wow, what are you doing listening to the radio at three in the morning?? Anyway, happy to have you here, my night owl buds! How’s the awesome New York life? How we feelin’ about all four of the subway tracks finally being open at the same time, huh? You guys know this is the first time in like twenty eight years that they’re all open at the same time? Definitely the first time in my life that the subway’s been so crowded, can barely go anywhere nowadays!
“Personally, I can’t go on subways, but hey, I almost got run over by like, five, now? So I don’t really feel like I’m missing out. Don’t worry though, guys! I’m nimble, no train could ever hit me, haha! Not to brag, but I think I could take a train in a fair fight, but they have this bad habit of sneaking up on you? One moment you’re seeing if the pizza on the tracks is still good, and next, BAM! Subway train in your face! Leo says if I wasn’t listening to music all the time I’d have noticed it fine, but psh, Leo’s the most bland man on Earth. He’s lucky I like him, the guy’s not deserving of all this effort.
“Man, I could’ve sworn I had a script and everything, you guys, but then the thingy on the thingy kept not working and now there’s stuff everywhere… man, Master Splinter’s gonna kill me. Oh well, we ball! It was probably just gonna be something about me being a majorly radical radio host, anyway! You know, a little tune would play, like–” [ humming a short tune ] “–and then I come in all ‘hello dear listeners, my name is Mich–’ um. Mikan! My name’s Mikan Angelo, yeah! Fancy, right? It’s Japanese! It’s kinda our family’s heritage, we’re cool like that.
“Anyway, love my fam, but they can only stand so much superhero chatter from me, soooo I figured I’ll look for other Justice Force nerds and such! You guys read the last comic yet, came out this Sunday? I’m gonna do like, a no-spoilers-for-a-week policy, but man guys, it was a ride! Expect some big revelations if you haven’t read it yet!
“Hmmm.. what else to say? I’m probably gonna broadcast at pretty random times, life’s kicking my tail all the time right now, you guys get it, right? So no worries if you don’t hear from me regularly, I’m probably just stuck doing boring chores all day.”
[ pause ]
“…Oh, wow, I can’t believe it’s actually working. Our very own radio broadcast. [ unintelligible word ]1 is the best. ”
