RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 241

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-18-2002, 10:08 PM

Don: Sure... *he hesitated for a moment.* Kya, about tomorrow. You've said that your family is going to be coming here... Um, I don't mean to be rude, or step on your toes about this or anything, but how exactly do you mean? I'd assumed you'd meant in a spiritual sense, but you've been very concrete about them being here. Are we talking about... manifestation *he chuckled at himself and shook his head* I sound like Ray from Ghostbusters... *He headed towards the stairs with her*

*Vespera wandered the hallways randomly, and turned a corner to see Raph coming in her direction.* Heya.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-18-2002, 10:11 PM

True...*She sat up, and looked at him.*

It's been a bout a year since you've seen me like this, and it had only been for a short while...so i shouldnt be upset if you forgot. *shakes head.* Anyways...I was kidnapped when i was younger, and taken to some place up in the woods of Northern New Hampshire. I was taken to a hidden facility and genetically changed by inGen.

*kyabetsu* · 11-18-2002, 10:23 PM

Kya thought about that.
kya: Don you won't step on my toes, as long as you remember that this is a religious holiday. and anything that invovles religion means that there will be questions that I cannot answer and answers i cannot explain. the whole 'faith' thing... blindly accepting that we cannot know everything. --- (She led him down the hall to the doorway of her room.) Having said that, I can look you in the eye and say that they're already HERE. the only difference the day makes is that tomorrow night, We'll be able to see them and they'll be able to see us. (she opened the door and invited him in.)

Raph saw Vespera coming too late to duck down a side hallway. He was still in a fairly good mood from watching his brother dance around with TAMPAX stuck to him, and when he realized that she was not accompanied by Leo he decided to be civil.
R: the bathroom's THAT one. on yer left.
(he kept walking)

Leo settled back and resolved to do a better job of remembering life stories in the future...

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-18-2002, 10:31 PM

*Don followed her into her room, and looked around for a place to sit. He studiously ignored the bed, and took a seat on the floor* Ok... that makes sense... sort of. You might have guessed, but I'm not a particularly religious person. I'd like to believe only in what I see, and can measure, but having said that... *he paused* Being Splinters student has also taught me that there are things out there that just don't respond to the world as I'd like to see it. You're bag for instance, or even half the things he can do with chi energy. I don't know that I have much faith in it, but I'll be there, and I'll suspend disbelief.

*Vespera grinned at him.* Not looking for the plumbing actually. Leo and Splinter are talking to Machias, and I was in the way so I took off. She lose her scales often?

*kyabetsu* · 11-18-2002, 10:45 PM

R: eh? Scales? (he stopped walking) LOSE?... what the hell're you talkin about?(he turned around and crossed his arms over his chest waiting for Leo's hot an' flakey girlfriend to explain herself).

Kya nodded and began to clear the few items from the bedside table. She wasn't going to push the whole concept of the afterlife down his throat. She would prepare him as best she could for the visitation and provided he was willing to be openminded, she was sure things would work out. She set the clock, the lamp, her hair brush and the loose change pile onto the floor and turned to him.

Kya; the family shrine or "altar"--- it's said just like the word 'altar' in english, but not awl-tar.... there's more "ahh" in the Spanish "ay", so it's "ahl-tahr." It can be a cardboard box if that's what you have. I"m gonna use the nightstand.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-18-2002, 10:50 PM

*Don looked interested* "Ahl-tahr." Right. So does it need to be moved anywhere or does it stay where it is.?

*Vespera faced him, and leaned against one wall in the hallway comfortably.* She walked into the living room. Human. No tail, no fangs, no scales. *pause* I'm guessing from the reaction this is not normal?

*kyabetsu* · 11-18-2002, 10:57 PM

Raph: human?... she's sitting, all HUMAN an' **** in the livingroom right now?... right. well. then i ain't going in there. she's prolly just as whiney as a human as she was as Barney's step-child.

(he eyed Veapera to gauge whether or not he's shocked or offended her. he might have been pleased if he had).

kya: well not too far. I was just gonna move it away from the bed so that i can reach to light candles around it without setting my pillow alight.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-18-2002, 11:02 PM

*Vespera chuckled a bit and shrugged* Couldn't really comment on that. I don't think we've said more than half a dozen words to each other in the last day and a half.

*Don nodded feverently* Oh yes... the last thing we need around here is a fire... *he looked around for wood to knock on, then laughed to himself*

*kyabetsu* · 11-18-2002, 11:08 PM

R(snorted) i envy you. ... So if Leo and Splinter are firmly wedged into her vortex of suck, what are YOU doin' wanderin the hallways? You'll getcher'self fvckin' lost...

Kya gripped the side of the night stand away from the bed and lifting a little, pulled on it moving it SLOWLY across the carpeted floor.

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

*She smoothed her hair back, thoroughly unsure of what to say next...*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-18-2002, 11:12 PM

*Don stood up and moved over beside her.* Can I give you a hand with that?

*Vespera smirked* That was yesterday. Today the lights are on, and I've got a chance of not doing that again. Actually, I was looking for something to do. They're busy, can't find Kya, and I'm not reorganizing your kitchen again.

*kyabetsu* · 11-18-2002, 11:56 PM

LEo blinked. She'd stopped. after he leaned back.
L: Sorry Machias, I'm listening, really, it' just been a long day, go ahead. Tell your story, I'm ready. I'll even ace the quiz at the end. Promise.
He smiled at her encouragingly.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-19-2002, 12:07 AM

*She grinned at him, and relaxed a little.*

Well, this isnt just a sit down and listen kind of story, if you'd recalled...

*Splinter looked at her encouragingly*
Sp: Please Child....it has been a busy day, and some time since we have heard about what had caused your present day changes. *pauses* It may somehow help you find a way to learn to...make peace with your two parts. *He smiles softly* And it will help jog this memory of ours...

*smiles, sighing* okay...*She pulled her legs up underneath her, looking back and forth at Leo and Splinter as she spoke...*

Okay, well, when i was about 6, me and some of my family were out camping, near lake Winnipisaukee in NH. I was walking with two friends that i had made at the camp, when we were suddenly kidnapped by men in military outfits w/ the word InGen on the shoulders.
We arrived at this big camouflaged area and were thrown into a corral that had some other kids there too. As we wer thrown in, men in white labcoats came in and took 3 kids away. Some kids sat with us and told us that down in that room, horrible things were being done to the kids. Some said they were being brainwashed, some said they were being dissected by aliens....
*sighs, taking up Leo's glass of water* that was the first hour....

*kyabetsu* · 11-19-2002, 12:13 AM

Leo shifted uncomfortable. In passing he wondered if Raph remembered this story when he came down so hard on Machias all the time.
Leo (internal) ... probably...
Leo shook his head and returned to what machias was telling them.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-19-2002, 12:15 AM

*She looked up after a minute, seeing that she'd still had their fullest attention.*

Well, a couple hours later, the guys in the labcoats came out again, and said,"We need another one for Velociraptor. One got so violent, we had to shoot it. You can get two others, too."
They looked at us and grabbed us. I struggled and fought as much as i could, when one of the men shot me with a tranquilizer. The man smiled and said,"This should hold her for a while. We can use HER for the raptor." Then i blacked out.

*She folded her hands up in her lap, feeling her face grow slightly warm...*

When i woke up, we found ourselves in this big silvery room, and we were strapped into these really weird looking chairs that were hooked up to computers. The men had these three vials of flourescent green stuff and put into the chairs' computers. The one who put it in was wearing a lot of radiation-proof stuff. Once he finished, he took the empty vials out and started typing on the computer. Suddenly My first friend Vanessa started to change. When they finished, she had been turned into a plesiosaur. Then a group of soldiers came in and took her away.
Then, they started to change my other friend. He was changed into a pachycephalosaur. Theyre the ones with the domed heads. When he was finished, they shot him with a dart, and took him away. One of the men in labcoats said,"Take him to the park." I never saw him again...

*A chill spread through her, and she fought it back as a small patch of teal appeared and disappeared on the sides of her face.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-19-2002, 12:22 AM

Leo snapped forward in his chair.
Leo: Machias! your face! it just changed again... but-- it's gone again... what... did you see that sensei? ... Machias, did you notice anything weird feeling just then?...

**Machias Banshee** · 11-19-2002, 12:31 AM

*Splinter stared at the kaleidoscope effect that just undulated on her face, and he arched an eyebrow*
Sp: I saw, Leonardo....Machias....*taps a finger against his own cheek* Your face changed slightly. Is that also a sign of your metamorphosis?

*She raised a hand to her face* Oh...*grins sheepishly* That happens whenever i get a little cold....I always exhibit some of the characteristics, no matter what form i'm in....the temper, the vocal sounds--*she felt slightly foolish as she gave examples* the teeth, the eyes, the strange walking and posturing...*groans* the head bobbing. No real biggie....

*Splinter nodded, sitting back in his chair. His mind went over the details she had given, and finally began putting some of the pieces to the puzzle together. This story helped explain much of who, what and why she was what she was. He looked into his daughter's eyes, gently coaxing her to continue...*

*Machias saw him look at her, and nodded her head slowly.*
Well, I started to get changed. It was like waves of hot and cold, and a LOT of pain. I changed to a dark Blue-green, with a dark blue...ornamental (?) coloring. Luckily i still had my hair, so i wasn't bald. They were having trouble with computers, and i took the opportunity to to break loose and ran. The soldiers saw me and came in to shoot me. Luckily with the strong body, i was able to jump onto the second floor landing and i crashed through the doors.The soldiers started to aim their guns, grenades and tranquilizers at me. I somehow ended up by the river, and saw the tank where Vanessa was being kept.
I called her name, which surprised many because you'd think that the killer instinct would take over. The reason it didn't was because the computer had malfunctioned before they could change my behavior, so i was just a raptor body with a human mind and capabilities.
My friend must have recognized my voice, cuz she came over to the edge of the tank where i was. I could hear and smell the troops coming, so i pulled a lever with my claw and released my friend into the river. She escaped, only God knows where to...I swam across the river and by the time i got to my family, i had returned to human form.

*She took a shaky breath, and drank some more of her water. She set it down carefully, away from the other items on the table.*

Here's the last part. I suddenly got REALLY sick and was put into the hospital. The doctors didn't have a clue of what was wrong, but then something happened to change them. They just called it Lyme Disease and gave me some secret stuff called TC-36, and i got well. Well, that's what my mom told me, anyways...
I was behaving normally until i changed when i was 13, and i have been having spontaneous changes ever since. I also gained some Telekinetic/pathic powers from the strange DNA changes that they had done. I still use them to this day.

*She narrowed her eys at the water glass, and it slowly began to rise, until it reached her eye level. She plucked the glass from the air, holding it in her hand.* Well, as you already know...

*kyabetsu* · 11-19-2002, 01:01 AM

Leo sat in a overwhelmed daze.
Leo: thank you machias. I hadn't realized half of that had happened to you. It explains a lot. I mean, my borthers and I are so sick of hearing our own crazy origin story, that I know i've kinda learned not to ask or pry too much.

Leo took a deep breath and tried to re-evaluate how much he actually knew about the people he called family. His brothers and his Master: he knew them like he knew himself. Which, lately, wasn't saying too much, but it was still more than he had known about Machias, or Kya, or Kameko, or even Kali...
Leo: (internal) crap... (dry internal chuckle) i don't really know very much do i?...

**Machias Banshee** · 11-19-2002, 01:12 AM

*She gave a dry grin* I like to hear about you guys. At least your story has a kinda happy ending...
*she rested against the back of the sofa, half-closing her eyes.*
I've been getting past it as much as i can. Just...*She opened her eyes, looking at the coffee table* the more this stuff happens, the harder it is to control. I'm never gonna stop trying to figure out some way to fix the imbalance. Dont get me wrong, there's parts of being a dinosaur i dont mind...*grins* night-vision, better stealth abilities, better running and jumping, among other things...but its hard having to wear disguises to hide from your own family....*She stifled a yawn, setting the glass on the table*

*kyabetsu* · 11-19-2002, 11:42 AM

kya's shoulders ached from all the pushups required of them at just this morning's practice. She'd been tense most of the day. The carpet and the wooden nightstand had allied forces against her. In short "grateful" barely covered her reaction.

pride whispered: oh just move the stupid thing yourself.
her shoulders and chest snorted: like hell.

Kya

responded to his offer of help with not a moment's hesitation and a lopsided grin) please.

Raphael's features were blank.
R: You got lost here yesterday. in the blackout. in the lair. and you re-roganized the kitchen, while you were at it. (he nodded, as the respecto-meter that had been on the rise paused in confusion.) He shook his head... somethin' to do? Dunno, what'd'ya do when you're not here? I mean besides takin' yer clothes off. (pause.) and Leo.

It explains a lot. I mean, my borthers and I are so sick of hearing our own crazy origin story, that I know i've kinda learned not to ask or pry too much. Leo took a deep breath and tried to re-evaluate how much he actually knew about the people he called family. His brothers and his Master: he knew them like he knew himself. Which, lately, wasn't saying too much, but it was still more than he had known about Machias, or Kya, or Kameko, or even Kali... Leo: (internal) crap... (dry internal chuckle) i don't really know very much do i?...

At least your story has a kinda happy ending... she rested against the back of the sofa, half-closing her eyes. I've been getting past it as much as i can. Just...She opened her eyes, looking at the coffee table the more this stuff happens, the harder it is to control. I'm never gonna stop trying to figure out some way to fix the imbalance. Dont get me wrong, there's parts of being a dinosaur i dont mind...grins night-vision, better stealth abilities, better running and jumping, among other things...but its hard having to wear disguises to hide from your own family....She stifled a yawn, setting the glass on the table

She'd been tense most of the day. The carpet and the wooden nightstand had allied forces against her. In short "grateful" barely covered her reaction. pride whispered: oh just move the stupid thing yourself. her shoulders and chest snorted: like hell. Kyaresponded to his offer of help with not a moment's hesitation and a lopsided grin) please. Raphael's features were blank. R: You got lost here yesterday. in the blackout. in the lair. and you re-roganized the kitchen, while you were at it. (he nodded, as the respecto-meter that had been on the rise paused in confusion.) He shook his head... somethin' to do? Dunno, what'd'ya do when you're not here? I mean besides takin' yer clothes off. (pause.) and Leo.
