RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 218

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 02:26 PM

Raph glared at his brother.
R: (internal) if he gets fvckin' HALLMARK on me...

Raph paused, cutting off his own thoughts
R: (quietly)... Mike, how old is sensei anyways...?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-15-2002, 02:39 PM

*Mike frowned in thought.*

M: How the hell would i know...? *He paused for a moment to think. Well, Splinter had been mutated for almost twenty years, not to mention being a normal rat in Japan for some time. But rats aged differently from humans. who knew..?* Probably like, middle aged, maybe....

*terran631* · 11-15-2002, 02:41 PM

*Splinter was between sleep and awake--dozing lightly. He heard voices but they spoke in too soft a tone for him to hear. He wanted to tell whoever was talking to speak up, that he couldnt hear..but his mouth was too dry to form the words. He needed water. His eyes closed he struggled to sit up to get something to drink*

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 02:54 PM

Raph let Mike's estimate sink into the silence of the dojo.
R: (low mumble)... i don't know Mike, i know someday, whenever the fvck that is, he'll be gone... but ****.... i never once thought we'd WATCH him leave-- FVCK! (louder, stronger) I KNOW he ain't dead or dyin' and he'll be up and chewin' out our asses for some half-cocked piece'a **** idea you put me up to in NO TIME. ... (quiet) but mike. It will happen. And i just don't wanna see it. (angry) BASTARD is supposed to either live forever or DIE with HONOR... in battle, like he fvckin' taught us...

Raphael had wound down, nothing left but loathing for himself for THINKING these things. let alone talking about them.

Kya looked beyond Don and saw Splinter struggling with the mask. she unfolded from the chair and approached slowly. She was giving Don a chance to get to his sensei's side first. And he took it without hestitation or acknowledgement.

Don: Sensei?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-15-2002, 03:03 PM

*Mike looked at his brother, trying to take in what he'd said, forcing himself to stay calm. Raph was unstable right now, and he didnt want to make him topple...*

M: He taught us that, i know. But....would YOU want him to die in a battle? all alone? *Mike looked down, considering his words carefully.* If i were him, I'd want to be with family..with the people who care about me. Not left for dead in some battle field or something...*sigh* but thats just me....

*terran631* · 11-15-2002, 03:08 PM

SP: *pushed himself up a little and heard DOnatello call to him. His eyes opened slightly. His mouth tasted like glue. He wanted to reassure his son that he was just getting something to drink but he couldnt even begin to say that much. He knocked the mask from his face and whispered* Thirsty.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 03:09 PM

Raph all but growled.
R: you want your family to WATCH you piss yerself and GUM yer FVCKIN" FOOD. you want yer LAST MEAL through a TUBE?! YOU WANT MACHIAS TO SEE THAT MIKE?! THINK ABOUT THAT NOW CAUSE WHEN it HAPPENS-- yer brain'll be fvckin' SHITPASTE MIKE and you won't KNOW TO BE ashamed!!

Raph stood up and stormed from the room.

Don dashed for a water bottle and inching the head of the bed upright a few more notches, slowly squeezed some water into his sensei's mouth.
Don: i know you're thirsty and you just want to drink but go slow. (don's grin had an edge on it) you don't wanna end up like MIKE that one time he drank an entire gallon of water just cause Raph dared him, do you? Take it slow. As much as you want but let me help.

kya had stepped back. she knew it was important that Don help his Sensei without interference. This was something that don could do to help NOW.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-15-2002, 03:14 PM

*Mike watched his brohter storm away, and drew his knees up, dropped his head, and shuddered....*

Mike: Oh Sensei.....

*Machias turned away from the living room, and made her way down the hall. She was anxious to see how Splinter was doing, but she knew she probably wouldnt be allowed in, so that he could get the rest he needed. She saw Raph glowering as he walked towards her, but said nothing..*

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 03:18 PM

machias was in the middle of the hall. Rather than move to the left or the right, raph walked straight on and shoulderchecked her out of the way. it felt good.

He grabbed his coat and left the lair.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-15-2002, 03:23 PM

*She caught herself from bumping into the wall with her hand as he shoved past her. She glared at him as he left, and hissed under her breath.*

~What the hell was THAT for?!~

*She stepped from the wall, brushing herself off lightly, and sighed.*

Jeezum, talk about a week from Hell....

*terran631* · 11-15-2002, 03:25 PM

Leo: *watched his brother storm through the living room and leave without a word to anyone. Turns to Kali and Vespy* Excuse me for a second. *he runs after Raphael* Raphael! Raph? Where are you going?

SP: *accepted the water gratefully. He frowned at Donatello's insistence that he help but did not argue with him and drank very little before pushing the bottle away* Thank you, Donatello. *he put his head back on the bed tiredly and took the mask off the rest of the way*

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 03:33 PM

kya looked at don who nodded. She silently closed the oxygen tank and moved to the other side of the bed to remove the mask. She moved gently but firmly to remove the elastic band that held the mask on his head. Over one ear. Over the other. she coiled up the tubing on the now mostly empty tank and wheeled it away from the bed. The fewer pieces of equipment laying near the Master, the better everyone would feel.

Don had pulled up a chair and settled in to watch Splinter drift back to sleep. The water bottle stayed in his hand, just in case.

Raph stopped. sighed and tried to remember NOT to hit his brother.
R: OUT. AWAY. SHUT UP and JUST LET ME GO, OK?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-15-2002, 03:42 PM

*Mike rose to his feet, brushing himself off. He headed to the door, when he saw machias's sketchbook on the floor. He scrunched down and picked it up. casting a quick glance down the hall, he began to finger through the pages...*

*Machias looked at the door. She wanted to knock, GOD how she wanted to go in and see how thing's were going. But she didnt want to bother them if they were in the middle of something. She leaned against the wall, folding her arms. She could wait a little longer...*

*terran631* · 11-15-2002, 03:44 PM

Leo: *hesitated. If he stopped him it wouldnt serve any other purpose than goading his brother into a fight and the last thing he wanted to do right now was fight. He stepped back and sighed* Fine. Go. Just keep in mind, whether Splinter's sick or not...we're not supposed to leave the lair. *he turned to leave his brother to make his own decision*

SP: *eyes closed started to drift off, felt much better now that the mask was gone and his throat felt less on fire. He could feel Donatello's eyes on him and smiled* How interesting is it, My Son, to watch someone sleep?

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 03:52 PM

Don: (his edgy grin slid into a genuine soft smile) it's fascinating sensei. Unfortunately you aren't sleeping yet, so this bit is kinda dull.

kya's lips pulled up at the corners. it was good to hear Don and splinter teasing each other.

After the word "FINE." Raph's mind muted Leo's rambling to a mildly irritating buzz. he shouldered on the coat, left the lair and stood down on the lake shore.

*terran631* · 11-15-2002, 04:03 PM

SP: *chuckles and turns his head to look at Donatello. Such a calm demeanor..even his eyes betray no sign of fear. But you can not hide from me, Donatello He looks up to be sure they were alone before saying anything and finds Kya* Kya, do you too find me as dull as my son while I am awake?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-15-2002, 04:09 PM

*Mike continued down the hall, flipping through the drawings, when he rounded the corner and saw machias by the door to the infirmary. After one last grinning glance at one of her pictures, he closed the book and approached her.
He knew she was probably going through just as much mental hell as the rest of them. He didnt show it, but when he'd heard that she'd been there helping Splinter when he'd collapsed, not to mention trying to help some of the others in the living room, he felt a little proud. He hated to say it, but this incident had seemed to show that she was starting to think more about the others, rather than like before.*

*Machias was looking dazedly at the floor of the hall, when a book suddenly filled her vision. She looked up, seeing Mike's face. She managed a small smile, taking the book from him.*

Thanks....
*Mike hung his hands from his belt. Not knowing what else to say, he tried to make some simple conversation...*
Mike: Uh...I like your pictures....you never said you liked to draw...
Huh? oh, thanks* she gave a small grin* I guess i'd forgotten to show everyone...
Mike *nods, and grins slightly* I uh...i saw the pic of us...*blushes slightly* uh, heh, it looks really good...
Thanks...*her smile dampens a little* splinter liked them too, when i showed them to him....*she cast a glance to the door, sighing as she turned back to Mike* I want to go see him, SO bad...but--i dont want to wake him or something....I mean...*Her shoulders dropped, and she closed her eyes.* To just see that he's okay...that's all i want.

*Mike sighed, and looked at the door for a second.*
M: Well....Maybe you can just see if he's awake now, or if you can see him later...~Me too~ Go ahead, and knock. I'm sure Donnie wont get upset for just asking about him...

Okay okay...I just dont want to wake Splinter, if he's asleep. *She stood upright and went to the door. Mike took a small breath, reached up, and knocked gently.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 04:10 PM

kya: Yes, but i think i prefer the dullness. No more excitment from you tonight, thank you.

Raph picked up a rock and hurled it into the lake, raising the water level just a hair.

*terran631* · 11-15-2002, 04:15 PM

*Splinter smiled and nodded* I give you my word, Kya. *Turns at the knock on the door* You have another visitor, My Son.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 04:22 PM

don sighed and opened the door. without even looking he spoke:

D: yes. if you can keep quiet.

he turned from the door and sat along the far wall in the chair next to kya's. watching mike and machias file in...
Don(internal) i can't keep him to mysef forever.
