RPG: DIA DE LOS MUERTOS -->CONTINUATION WEEK from HELL & - Page 74

*kyabetsu* · 12-11-2002, 09:54 PM

Raph burst out laughing. It wasn't that funny, but it didn't matter. It was the relief of a problem that WASN"T his fault, having one that was so bizarre was just a bonus.

Leo looked up from the chocolate. That was Raph... laughing? He glanced down a Kali, but if she had any thoughts, she hid them well.

L: (internal... still stirring) what the HELL are they talking about?

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-11-2002, 10:12 PM

*Vespera grinned back at him* Nice to know that at least some things that look weird around here actually are. C'mon. Kya could probably use us back in the kitchen, and its starting to smell too good in there to leave it any longer.

**Kali** · 12-11-2002, 10:17 PM

*Kali focused on rolling her last churro when she heard Raphael laughing. Well, that was a good sign, if he wasn't determined to stay angry at the world, maybe she had a chance to set things right with him. But it would have to wait until later.*

*kyabetsu* · 12-11-2002, 10:24 PM

Leo's eyes tracked them both as they re-entered the kitchen. Raph seemed less tense, but the fleeting glance he shot Kali could have given penguins frostbite. Vespera---

Leo: (feeling guilty about worrying) ... she looks like she always does... like she knows a funny secret or a joke or something, and for a piece of gum or a kiss, she'll share.... (he chuckled at the idea, and with a small flash of frustration for Raph, tried to put the matter out of his head.)

kya: Leo? excuse me. Casserole out!

Leo took a few seconds to adjust.
L: oh! the oven. the casserole. right.
He moved out of the way.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-11-2002, 10:34 PM

*Donatello glanced up as the two walked back into the kitchen. Both looked happier, although in Raph's case that still didn't qualify as "happy". He had a ways to go yet. Brushing the remains of cinnamon and sugar off his hands, he looked up at Kya taking the casserole out of the oven. Waiting until she put it down, he called* What's next boss?

*Vespera returned to her chair at the table, but didn't sit down quite yet.* What he said Kya. And that smells even better cooked than it did before. How much more torture do we get to go through before we can eat?

*Kameko* · 12-12-2002, 11:04 AM

((((Morning, guys!

....Wherever you are...

. I'll post later, prolly around 2 oclock Texas time. I got caught up with the thread (thank God

) but I've got to go study for/take my Art Appreciation Final. It's the last of my finals for the semester.

Wish me luck -- I'll need it! If I don't make at least an 85 or so, I won't pass the class. An eighty will prolly scrape me by with a D (60) but mom'll kill me. On the other hand, NO MORE ART CLASS!!!

Depressing 1:20PM update: I think I failed.

I hate college. ))))

*Sits on her bed, playing with her knife and trying to ignore the tempting smells wafting in from down the hall*

Geeziz, can't I even decide whether I'm gonna be happy or a miserable hate-all?

*Flinging her knife at the abused dresser once more, she stands up and toys with the radio. When she finds nothing she can stand for more than a minute, she turns on her Eminem cd once more.*

I'm torn in my limbs, by each one of my friends;
It's enough to make me just wanna jump out of my skin.
Sometimes I feel like a robot; sometimes I just know not
what I'm doin' -- I just blow -- my head is a stove top.
I just explode; the kettle gets so hot.
Sometimes my mouth just overloads the ass that I don't got.

*Laughs, humorlessly.*

You and me both, buddy.

**Machias Banshee** · 12-12-2002, 05:19 PM

*Machias watched the strange orb fade away to nothing, and shook her head.*

Never a dull day around here, is it....?

*kyabetsu* · 12-12-2002, 05:30 PM

Kya closed the oven on the last on of the tamales.

kya: gimme 20 minutes, but um. the only thing left that i can ask you guys to help with is clean up and setting the table and getting drinks and stuff.

She was already back at the stove top, juggling rice, beans and tortillas.

Leo: So, what do i do with this? it's all melted now.

Kya(big grin) perfect. stir this stuff (points at beans) will you? i'll take the chocolate.

Leo: right. more stirring.

*terran631* · 12-12-2002, 05:36 PM

Mike: *comes back from wherever it was he had been for the last hour or so and walks into the kitchen whistling. He takes one look at Leo at the stove and his eyes get wide* Oh no! Leo's cooking again! Somebody have the fire extinguisher handy just in case?

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-12-2002, 05:37 PM

*Donatello started to clear the kitchen table, while Vespera went to the cupboards and started pulling out plates.* How many of us are there today? You, you, you, you, you, me, Mike, Splinter, Kameko and Machi, right?

*it probably would have been easier to identify the "you"s if she had pointed when she was speaking*

Renee · 12-12-2002, 05:53 PM

*Splinter smiled in agreement*

Sp: It certainly isn't...although it would be nice to have a day or so to relax in my old age.

*He was silent for a bit before returning to their previous discussion*

Sp: You said the images you see seem to be related to someone's death...is there a possibility that it may have been someone you knew?

**Machias Banshee** · 12-12-2002, 06:05 PM

*she gave a lil grin at his comment.*
You and 'old' in the same sentence? Heh, nah, just well aged....

*She shook her head, getting back to the topic at hand.*

I dont know...I mean, I've had these kinds of things happening ever since middle school, but i never know if theyre related until i actually see it happen. That's what scares me....
*she sighed, looking back down at her clasped hands*
If someone i know died, and i knew that i could have done something to stop it from happening....*shakes her head* But i guess its stupid to worry...

*kyabetsu* · 12-12-2002, 06:08 PM

Raph leaned back against the doorframe. It was easiest to just get out of the way.

Kya looked up from a mixing bowl.
kya; mike! good. Can you heat tortillas for me? Leo's got his hands full.
(she indicated the skillet on the one open burner and the tortillas sitting next to it.)

Leo'd smirked when Mike made his crack aobut the fire extinguisher, but didn't let it get to him. Mostly because with the kitchen was full to the brim with family. And everyone was actually getting along. He stole a look at Raph and Kali. Kinda.

Renee · 12-12-2002, 06:16 PM

Sp: *gently* Do not scold yourself for worrying when it is only natural to do so. *pause* You believe that these events have yet to happen?

*His eyebrows furrowed a bit in thought. If he had understood Machias correctly, then she had a very rare and sometimes dire 'talent'. He looked at her seriously.*

*terran631* · 12-12-2002, 06:16 PM

Mike; Eh..yeh. Sure. *he starts warming tortillas* Umm...*looks around at practically every member of the family* Um...we havin a cooking party or something?

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-12-2002, 06:18 PM

*Don managed to stay about one place setting ahead of Vespera. He'd clean a spot just before she started depositing dishes on it. She managed to get all ten settings at the table, but it would be a tight fit. She rummaged around inside the fridge and came up with the condiments for the table*

We're almost set here. Kya, should we start rounding up stragglers?

*kyabetsu* · 12-12-2002, 06:19 PM

kya (smiling like she was gonna go nova) Yeah. Looks like! (to mike) sorta; it's a FEAST tonight. this is what kitchens are FOR. Try some of this.

she holds a spoon with some fluffy white stuff at him.

**Machias Banshee** · 12-12-2002, 06:20 PM

*She saw him giving her the look, and shrank into her seat slightly.*

I forgot to tell you about this too...*rubs her neck* I guess its just been a while since i've had them, so i hadnt been thinking about it....*sighs* great....

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-12-2002, 06:27 PM

*Vespera looked around.* Anyone have any idea where I find the others?

*terran631* · 12-12-2002, 06:27 PM

Mike: *takes a taste of what kya offered him and grinned* yeh this is what kitchens are for. *he put the tortillas on a plate* I love your cooking kya. Don-San will never starve with you around. Although he better be careful he dont get fat. *he keeps adding the tortillas to the plate as he warms them. He turns to V* Not a clue. Who we missin? Machi...Kameko and Splinter?
