RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 207

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-13-2002, 11:09 PM

*Leo entered the dojo, and started his warm up excercises.* Sensei? Bare hands, chosen weapons or freestyle?

*kyabetsu* · 11-13-2002, 11:10 PM

kya grinned, and tried to brush a stray curl from her face with the back of her hand. her fingers were slick with the oil and garlic she coated the third calzone with...

kya: Thank you. i'm really looking forward to practice tomorrow.

she set the calzone aside and began the final one.

kya: oh, I wanted to invite my new family to meet my old family. but I didn't want to push the issue. Splinter said it would be best for me to ask folks individually and i agree. I asked Kamita already and Leo. I wanted to ask Mike but i must have upset him somehow because he left before i could. ...

she pushed that curl back again. this time without thought. It picked up some garlic.

Kya: would you like to meet my family don?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 11:11 PM

*Machias felt a part of her tugging her to go watch, but the other part hesitated.*

~Leo might not want me to watch...but it sounds SO interesting!!!!~

*She watched them go, and looked down the hall, and after a couple takes, turned to the dojo.*

~Just for a lil bit...i can see if Mike's still in there too....~

*She went to the doorway, and watched silently...*
~Wait, i'll ask permission first...~
*clears throat* Um...may i ask for permission to watch?
*gives a tiny hopeful smile*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-13-2002, 11:14 PM

*Don smiled at her enthusiasm, and the fact she was seasoning herself* I'd love to meet your family. *Most of them anyways*

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 11:14 PM

SP: *Begins his own warm up and raises an eyebrow* Free style? Against your sensei? *smirks* Are you sure, My Son.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-13-2002, 11:16 PM

*Leo finished his stretching and bounced lightly in place.* Its been a while, I thought you might be able to use the practice Master.... *he hid a grin and turned to Machias.* I don't have a problem with it is Master Splinter doesn't

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 11:18 PM

*She quickly choked off her snicker, and looked to Splinter, failing trying not to smile...*

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 11:20 PM

SP: *almost laughs at Leo's comment and then turns to Machias* You may watch, Machias. Leonardo is obviously not concerned about embarrassing himself in front of an audience. *he walks to the center of the mat and waits for Leonardo to join him*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 11:22 PM

Thank you, Sensei!
*her face lights up, and she gives a quick bow before taking a seat on the sidelines. She opened her sketchbook up to a fresh page, just in case....*

*kyabetsu* · 11-13-2002, 11:24 PM

kya's smile doubled.
kya: THANK you Don!! you're the first person all night who's just said YES.

She smeared the last of the garlic and oil onto the final calzone and dropped with evident relief into a kitchen chair.

kya : i really didn't want to push, but it's kinda important, you know? and everyone else seemed hesitant or skeptical or just resereved about the whole thing... i was being to think i shouldn't have asked. not if it was gonna make everyone so uncomfortable...

kameko rinsed her hands (hey the sink works!) and silently sliped from the kichen feeling abit guilty about her initial reaction to kya's invitation.

neither of them saw her go....
kameko

internal) my family's in a alternate dimension... i know how excited i'd be if i was allowed to talk to THEM again. Even if i never got home again. just for one night... to see MY brothers... and know that they see me... i'm almost jealous.. no. i am jealous.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-13-2002, 11:25 PM

*Leonardo stepped into place, and bowed low to Splinter. He did not break eye contact. He'd had THAT lesson drilled into him through painfully embarrassing repetition when he was younger* Lets dance Sensei.

*He blurred into motion, a series of feints before breaking into a sprint towards the weapon rack*

*Don smiled* After seeing that bag of yours in action, I'm taking nothing for granted about your family.

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 11:28 PM

SP: *Avoids his son's initial assault and as he sprints to the weapons rack, Splinter back flips to where his bo and arrows are kept. He fires two off before Leonardo reaches the rack*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 11:32 PM

*Machias watched like a child going to the circus for the first time ever. She'd Never seen Splinter actually spar with his sons, so this was an exciting new experience for her.*

~Dang, i've NEVER seen him move that fast before...! Incredible.~

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-13-2002, 11:32 PM

*Leonardo dodges the first without looking over his shoulder. The dodge turns into a forward handspring that takes him right next to the rack. The second arrow is already on its way in and he shifts position so it shatters against his shell with a resounding crack. He snagged the first thing that came to hand without looking, and started to advance across the floor towards Splinter, manriki-gusari spinning almost lazily infront of him*

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 11:36 PM

*Splinter fired off another series of arrows knowing that Leonardo would dodge them easily. He used the second it took for that to happen to knock over the free-standing heavy bag that was in the middle of the floor. He kicked it towards Leonardo and used the distraction to arm himself with a bo*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 11:39 PM

*She watched in reverend awe as she watched the weapons whip and spin around, seemingly uncontrolled, in their hands. Oh, how she looked forward to the day when she could learn bo. She flashed her sight back and forth between her book and the action to jot down some sketches...*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-13-2002, 11:39 PM

*Leonardo vaulted the heavy bag, and faced off with Splinter again. Less than thirty seconds ago, they'd been in nearly the same positions, except now they were both armed. Leonardo kept the momentum up on the part of the chain he was swinging, but didn't attack with that half, instead he dropped the other weight and kicked it at Splinters midsection.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-13-2002, 11:42 PM

kya leaned way back in her chair. the garlic paste on her hands slowly drying and sticking her fingers together. She just felt so wrung out. she'd been buzzing since Splinter said her family was welcome under his roof. She'd been so excited about the blowgun, about introducing her future to her past, and she had been so NERVOUS. Not about asking her new family... but that her new family wouldn't understand what it MEANT... but don did. and that made her feel warm inside. the frantic cooking, the frantic cleaning, the worries about Mike and his strange mood, all that tension melted away and she rolled her head along her shoulder until she was looking at Don and not the ceiling.

Kya: you STILL owe me a game of chess, you know. (she nodded and slowly rolled her head back to look up at the ceiling) i haven't forgotten.

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 11:47 PM

*SPlinter dropped the bo down to block the weight knowing even as he did it, it would not take the entire force of the blow. The weight shattered the bo in half and SPlinter bent over a little to try to take the rest of the blow with as little force as possible. He dropped to one knee and used the two blunt halves of the bo to jam into the tops of Leo's thighs to momentarily cramp them. He rolled out of the way towards the weapons rack and came up to his feet holding a pair of katana*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 11:50 PM

*Her entire body shuddered at the impact, and cringed at the jabs with the bo halves. She went slack-jawed as he pulled two katana out.*

~Holee! Good thing he's the master, or I'd be hiding behind something....~
