RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 35

*Kameko* · 10-24-2002, 05:23 PM

What about Leo, eh? He hates me. You've seen him lately. This morning, he looked ready to murder me, because I pretended to tell Mike something REALLY embarassing about him. Something that only he and I know about. I can't blame him for hating me. I've done nothing but make his life a living hell lately.

*terran631* · 10-24-2002, 05:27 PM

SP: *faces Kya. Gently* Kya, the one thing that you and I need to have is trust. I know that it is not easy for you to trust anyone, but it is important. For your lesson today, we are going to work on you trusting me. Will you try this for me?

*kyabetsu* · 10-24-2002, 05:29 PM

Raph worked his way through his katas, stretching and limbering his joints and trying to concentrate, but coming back over and over again to a list of non-profane things to say to kameko.

kya pinched her lips shut for a moment.
Kya: Sensei, I promised to obey you, and if you give me time, I WILL learn to trust you.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-24-2002, 05:29 PM

But he WILL forgive you...it just takes time...*sigh* Raphael and I...Oh, i shouldnt even be talking about this...*takes a breath* Raphael and I have hated each other ever since we first met. Nothing can change that. But you and Leo...you cn work it out, set things straight. I dont know what you said to upset him, but i know you should talk to him or maybe write a letter, or SOMEthing to show your regret.

*They enter the kitchen, and Machias sets Kame at the table, pulling out one of Splinter's teas*

You are learning from your mistakes, and are becoming better about your behavior. Just dont stop trying....I unfortunately have to learn the hard way, that's why i'm not in class with you...*sighs, turing around to face her* I LOST Splinter's trust--heck, Everyone's just about. Splinter has taken away my privilege to be his student, and now am just his daughter.

*She pauses, walking over to the stove to heat the pot*

DO NOT LOSE the privilege. Just keep trying your best, and you'll do fine...

*Vespera Blaze* · 10-24-2002, 05:32 PM

*Leonardo looked around him. The stone tripod was still cracked and broken, but the rubble had been cleared away, leaving him a clean place to work. The broom went away again, and on a whim he turned and walked. The barren plain gave way to a garden. Small hedges lined the stone walk ways, and herbs and flowers grew neatly in cultured beds on either side of the path. He wound through the garden, finally finding his way to the center. A pond stretched away from him, gold fish swimming in its depths. Curled around a stone statue that decorated the center was a small gold dragon. It raised its head and blinked at him*

Dragon: Well? What are you looking for?

*Kameko* · 10-24-2002, 05:33 PM

*stares at the tabletop, unseeing* Whatever... Y'know, I've never been a perfect kid or anything, I mean, far from it, but I NEVER got in this much trouble back home. NEVER. Not to this extent, not so many times in a row. I dunno.... I'm just a total screw-up. Think what you want, Machias, but I'm a piece of sh!t and everybody knows it.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-24-2002, 05:39 PM

*She sits down, looking sympathetic* Heh, youre talking to the Queen of troublemaking. I was always shy and quiet til i came here...now I've been scolded, lectured and paddled so many times, i've lost count...

*The pot whistles, and she rises to take it off, bringing it over to the three mugs*

If youre such a piece of ****, why doesnt Splinter just give up? why doesnt he just throw you out of the house? Hmm? Why dont your me, brothers and father disown you?
*She brings two mugs over, and sits down, looking into Kame's eyes.*
Because they love you. I love you. We all do. We dont give up on the people we love, just because they've had a hard time...We're hard asses to the end...*winks*

*Vespera Blaze* · 10-24-2002, 05:40 PM

*Leo was taken aback by the dragon's direct question*

Leo: I guess I'm looking for myself.

Dragon: Try a mirror. Anything else?

Leo: *cleverly* huh?

Dragon: If you want to find yourself, look at your reflection. Eyes are windows to the soul and all that junk, so look into yours.

*Don worked through the katas, moving slowly to keep from jarring his head*

*Kameko* · 10-24-2002, 05:41 PM

*Looks up at Machias, an empty look in her eyes* Somehow, I don't think Leonardo would agree.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-24-2002, 05:42 PM

*She sighs, and wraps her arms around her, giving a motherly hug*
He's upset about wht you did, but HE WILL get over it. Splinter will help him, and i'll help you. you can get through this....

*Kameko* · 10-24-2002, 05:44 PM

You didn't see his eyes...

*terran631* · 10-24-2002, 05:46 PM

SP: *smiles* Good. *he sits down and motions for Kya to sit across from him. He holds one hand out, palm up* Kya, will you place one hand on top of or over mine? I am going to show you what a hara is.

*Vespera Blaze* · 10-24-2002, 05:50 PM

*Leo stood there and stared at the dragon. It stared back.*

Drgn: If you're waiting for me to blink, it ain't going to happen.

*Leo looked away, and his eyes fell on the pond at his feet. Almost absently he got to his knees and and leaned over to stare at his reflection. He noticed that he wasn't wearing his mask here, but his katanas were strapped in their usual place along his shell. He stared at his reflection for what felt like an eternity, and came to the conclusion that his eyes really were mud brown. With a sigh, he looked away*

*As soon as he broke eye contact with himself, his reflection lunged out of the pool grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him in*

*kyabetsu* · 10-24-2002, 05:50 PM

kya sat and tenatively, but steadily place her hand over his.

Kya(internal) so warm... or my hands are that cold... i hope kamita's ok...
(a shiver made her hand tremble and brought her concentration back to her Sensei)

Kya: a harra?

**Machias Banshee** · 10-24-2002, 05:57 PM

*Machias pulled away, sighing*
I dont know what he's feeling right now...probly never wil, but...you cant give up before you've even had a chance to begin...!! I was like that, and I only dug myself into a deeper hole of despair. Dont give up on yourself...no one else is going to either...

*terran631* · 10-24-2002, 05:57 PM

((Remember...this is fiction...IE: Not real..complete fabrication and ********...heretic this means you..leave me alone.

))

SP: Hara is a place right here. *with his free hand he points to a spot right above his stomach.* It is from here that energy is drawn. Chi energy. *his hand starts to get a bit warmer and warms hers as well* This is where your power will come from, CHild. Not from your arms or legs

*Kameko* · 10-24-2002, 06:03 PM

*sighs, sips her tea* I hope your right, Machi. I gotta talk to Leo, but first Splinter wants to talk to me... *moans, dropping her head down onto the table, repeatedly bangs her forehead against it* Why can't I just die? Is that REALLY so much to ask...?

*Vespera Blaze* · 10-24-2002, 06:05 PM

*Leo struggled with himself, falling away from the surface faster than he could believe. The other him wrapped his hands around his neck, as if attempting to choke him.* They twisted and churned through the water, the surroundings of lily roots and surprised goldfish fading away until they stood on a black glass plane, still locked in struggle. Leo broke the hold, and danced away, drawing both katana smoothly before falling into a ready stance.*

L: Why?

L2: Why not?

*they came together in a clash of whirling steel*

**Machias Banshee** · 10-24-2002, 06:06 PM

Ahh, he wants to talk to you about Leo, huh?
*puts a comforting hand on Kame's head*
Well, i think i'd prefer his lectures rather than death...at least with his lectures you can talk to him...
*without thinking, she starts to rub Kame's head, like Splinter had done with her so many times*
Things will be alright, you'll see...

*kyabetsu* · 10-24-2002, 06:09 PM

Kya sat still, she felt his hand warm under hers.

Kya (quietly) ... harra... gives chii... what. what is chii energy?

Raph had run through the katas twice and was just finishing the third.
R: (internal) screw it. (he sat against the wall).
