RPG: DIA DE LOS MUERTOS -->CONTINUATION WEEK from HELL & - Page 93

*kyabetsu* · 12-15-2002, 10:16 PM

Raph narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, but kept his seat.

R: (growl) then i guess it's a GOOD thing that Vespera accused me a beatin' the **** out of yer girl. 'cause between you and Leo, I just don't hear ****.... (he sighed--tired sounding) look. there was a big-ass demon-shaped HOLE in my vision. Not sayin' it was right, just that it's gone. sorry about your throat an' yer girl an' ANYTHIN" else i fvckin' missed. Now, will yah pull yer head outta the bottom'a yer shell?

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-15-2002, 10:32 PM

*Don opened his mouth to retort, and closed it again without saying a word. He closed his eyes, and took a couple of deep breaths before opening them, and looking at Raph again, a hint of a smile tugging at his face.* I HAVE been whining, havent I? Just... listen. Its not just you. I had it out with Mike earlier for screaming at Enigma in the infirmirary and sending her into a fit too. Its anybody raising their voices, or getting angry. Just, if you can try to take it outside, or into the back caves, or something. I dunno. I'm flailing around in the dark trying to deal with this, and I'm afraid that I'm just going to make it worse.

*he chuckled but there was no humor in the sound, and snagged the last fry* Damnit, whining again. I'll try and stop that.

*kyabetsu* · 12-15-2002, 10:56 PM

R: talkin' ain't always whinin' Don. (raph begins playin with a sugar packet) honestly, i'd rather hear you piss a moan for a bit than watch you explode later. (he flicked the packet as Don's head) ... as for settin' her off... ****. mike. me. i know Leo squashed her wrist when he was arguin with Meko about somethin. She got weird on Machias that once. kali was arguin' with me... think you and Splinter're the only two who haven't triggered anything yet--And Vespera,i guess.

Raph paused, considering his words, but asked anyways.
R: if we freak her out so bad, why's she still here?

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-15-2002, 11:08 PM

*Don blinked as the packet caught him between the eyes, and briefly considered retaliating with the ketchup. No. That would probably be bad.* At a guess? For all that she gets scared here, she hasn't got hit yet. And family is important to her. Splinter adopted her, and we're her family now. I'm just worried that at some point she's going to decide that she needs to see Beto again, and doesn't let me go with her...

You know, after everything that bastard did, she still considers him her brother, and loves him?

*kyabetsu* · 12-15-2002, 11:10 PM

Raph traced a lazy circle on the table.
R

quietly) did she ever say WHY he did it?...

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-15-2002, 11:13 PM

*Donatello's head whipped up, and his fist clenched.* Does it matter?

*kyabetsu* · 12-15-2002, 11:20 PM

Raph held up a hand palm facing Donnie in the classic "look, no weapons" position.

R: no, of course it don't matter, Donnie. Just wonderin how much you KNEW about what was goin' on with her. if there was somethin' else i oughtta be watchin' out for... ****, man.... cool it.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-15-2002, 11:27 PM

*Don slumped back into his seat.* She said she deserved it. That she made him angry, that all she had to do was keep the house, and look after her mother after the accident, and that she wasn't doing a good enough job. That some of those scars are lessons. Consequences of not doing something right, or well enough or whatever. That if she'd done BETTER, he wouldn't have done THAT. That it was worse if she cried, or fussed....

*his voice was flat, as if he was merely discussing something unimportant like the weather in a different state, but his knuckles were white*

*kyabetsu* · 12-15-2002, 11:43 PM

Raph looked frankly disbelieving.
R: he had a problem with how she 'kept house?' ... (he shut his eyes and was quiet for a few seconds) ... at least THAT ain't a problem. Ain't nobody gonna give her **** about THAT, especially after that dinner. (he let a grin perk the corners of his mouth, trying to lift the mood) don't think i've EVER seen that much food on our table. Her an' that freakin' bag a' hers could prolly end world hunger.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-15-2002, 11:54 PM

*Don thought about that magic bag of hers, and he was unable to stop the grin that tugged at his mouth* Well, she ended any thoughts of hunger I had for the next three days. That was alot of food she served.

*Don looked at his coffee mug, but it was empty. He thought about another one, but decided against it.*

*kyabetsu* · 12-16-2002, 12:05 AM

Raph noticed his brother's disinterest in his coffee mug.
R: you feelin' any better, yet? Cause i'm thinkin' it's time for me to move on... can only handle so many hours 'a main-lining frickin truck-stop coffee.

He waited for an answer, but it was clear he was ready to go then.

kya checked the clock on the floor by the bed.
Kya: (to no one in particular) too late to call tonight. but tomorrow. call tomorrow over his lunch break or... or after work, but definitely. He's still family and you owe it to him.

She bundled herself into Pj's and with a sleepy 'g'night' at Kali's dozing form on the sofa, she brushed her teeth and crawled into bed.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-16-2002, 12:08 AM

*Donatello waved his brother off* Yeah, I'm good Raph. Thanks. I think I'll head home for the night. *He tossed a crumpled bill on the table, and stood up.* See you tomorrow Raph.

*kyabetsu* · 12-16-2002, 12:21 AM

Raph grunted in agreement and dropped enough to cover his coffee and its refills onto the counter next to Don's. He was out and onto the highway without another word to Donnie.

He pulled out onto the interstateand considered his options. He could still go to some bar. The crowds would have died down by now. Drink in the back corner; people-watch quietly. Then b/c he made Splinter a promise, he'd stagger out at last call and crash on a roof until dawn, when he'd be sober enough to drive home.

R: what a crock of ****.
R(internal) is that REALLY what i need? I ain't hurtin' or angry. I don't need to frickin' drown her out of my head. ... This is one of the few times i've actually felt RIGHT about dealin with her. I'll be fvckin' DAMNED if i let her chase me into a bar JUST BECAUSE. I don't need it an' i don't need her. Raph rode the highway until the lines blurred. He pulled off at a rest stop, parked his bike and crashed on the roof of the builing until dawn when he'd be awake enough to drive home.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-16-2002, 12:43 AM

*Vespera's alarm shrilled, startling her into wakefulness. She looked over blearily at the clock. 4:45?! Why on earth did I set my alarm clock to that time in the morning? She rolled over to go back to sleep, and came nose to nose with Leonardo. Oh yeah. Thats why. He's got to be home for 6:00 His eyes were open, and he was smiling* Gads... don't tell me you're a morning person Leo.

L: Alright, I won't.

V: Good. Your future depends on it.

*For all her complaining about not being a morning person, she was ready to go in a remarkably short period of time. Yawning* C'mon. I'll take you home, then I'm coming back and getting some more sleep.

L: Sure thing. You be by again later?

*Vespera chuckled.* What, you arent tired of me hanging around yet?

L: Never.

V: In that case probably.

*They got in the car, with a few laughs over the movie that had never made it off the seat. The drive back was pretty quiet, neither of them up for too much conversation early in the morning. She pulled up infront of the house.* Door to door service. There you go.

*Leo gave her a quick kiss goodbye, then paused and did a more thorough job of it.* Mmm. Talk to you later?

V: Sure. Now scoot. You don't want to be late.

*Laughing, he left the car and headed into the house.*

*Vespera pulled a tight uturn and headed for home. Last night had been fun. They'd talked for hours... among other things. She looked up from her remeniscing, and her eyes widened. She moved her foot, and slammed hard on the breaks. Her car screeched to a halt, the bumper mere inches from the mutant turtle that had stumbled into her path. The seatbelt was undone and she was out of the car in a flash.*

Ves: Oh my god, are you alright?

Venus: I'm... I'm fine... I need to find my brothers... do you know my brothers? Donatello? Raphael?

Ves: I didn't know they had a sister *shook her head*, nevermind, yeah, I'll take you to them right now.

*Vespera turned away back to the car. She heard more than felt the impact on the back of her skull, a kind of thudding noise that filled her mouth with the taste of electricity and her vision with stars. Her knees buckled, and she didn't feel herself hit the ground.*

*Venus looked down at her coldly for a minute, then tossed the wrench she'd hit her with into the backseat ignoring the blood smear it left on the seat. She picked Ves up, and piled her into the car after it. Taking the spot in the drivers seat, she drove the car off the road, and concealed it in the bushes where it couldn't easily be seen from the road.*

Venus: Well B!tch, the games begun.

*Venus dragged Ves from the car again, and back into the bushes. From farther away another vehicle could be heard starting up, then the engine faded into the distance. Behind them Vespera's car lay hidden, the bloody wrench left in the backseat.*

*kyabetsu* · 12-16-2002, 12:58 AM

Raph phased in and out of sleep in the cold of the roof top.
R(internal) That's one thing for gettin' plastered. You sleep through ANYTHING...

He gave up trying at some point when the stars were beginnin to fade and false dawn pinked the eastern horizon.
R: (internal) lost track of how long i drove last night.... and i probably need gas too, before broad daylight sets in.

He pissed off the back of the building, adjusted his coat, and headed back out onto the highway, headed home.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-16-2002, 01:08 AM

*Don's watch alarm went at 5:30. Blearily he looked around. The dojo was empty, just like it had been last night when he'd gone to sleep. He got up, and moved his blankets into the cupboard again before heading towards the kitchen for his coffee. He walked in, and blinked when Leo handed him a cup, already made.*

D: Morning?

*kyabetsu* · 12-16-2002, 01:13 AM

kya's showered last night before the movie, so she wasn't worried about it for right before practice. She was only gonna get dirty again. She felt so much better ofr sleeping more than 3 hours last night.

Kya(struggling to get into her gi with minimal skin exposure to the cold outside her blankets) ... target practice!...

She slung the bag over her shoulder and hoofed it to the kitchen for morning churro.

Kya (upon entering the kitchen-- chirpy) Morning, Leo! Donnie.
She made a beeline for the tupperware with the churros, and pulled some grapes from her bag.

**Machias Banshee** · 12-16-2002, 01:16 AM

*soft snoring came from the floor beside the bed where she lay. All seemed peaceful, that is on the outside....

Machias shifted in her blankets. the night had provided many a strange dream, waking her several times in the process. She had emptied the water bottle again during the course of the night, as well as bundled up more in her blankets, looking more like a pile of laundry than a person. The muscles in her face twitched, and she shook her head slightly. It felt as though there were something on her face. She raised a hand trying to wipe the invisible object away. Her breath suddenly paused in mid take, and she slipped into the whirl of visions again...*

~~Organ music......point of no return.......hospital beds.....Time of death.....simple operation..........broken mirrors, white masks...........blood on the floor....come home, honey.......we miss our baby girl...........complications in the procedure......~

She gasped, trying to pull herself away from the noise, and suddenly found herself alone in a waiting room, the smell of hospital goods overwhelming. She lifted her head, to see her father standing by the doorway sadly. He had a look of worry and fatigue. He turned to look at her, and gasped. She looked at herself and cursed. She was in Raptor form. They had NEVER seen her like that! She jerked her head up to look at him, and he had backed up, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. She approached him carefully, speaking softly at first.*

~Dad, its me, Machi....you know, Baby girl....please Dad....what's going on? Why are we here....Dad.... *He continued to back up towards the door, shock still filling his features.* Dad, please....dont go.....*She looked around nervously* Where's Mom? Dad, where's mom.....is she okay?.....Please Dad, talk to me....its me, your daughter! What's wrong? please, why wont you tell me...? Dont hide stuff from me Dad, please....~

*She reached out to him, but he gave a yell, and she suddenly was attacked on both sides by security guards in white and blue jackets, and began to pull her away. She struggled as much as she could, and began crying out...*~~

Lemme go! I want My Dad...! Where's my Dad!? *Her blankets were tangled around her tightly, and she struggled with all her worth.* Dammit! DAD DONT LEAVE ME!!!! Where are you, where's Mom?! NOOO.....!

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-16-2002, 01:23 AM

*Donatello looked up as Kya came into the room* Good morning! Sleep well? *He waited until she claimed her breakfast before giving her a quick hug and kiss on her hair*

*Leo finished his tea. He'd gotten breakfast at Vespera's earlier, and was just having tea while waiting for everyone else to wake up.* Morning Don, Kya. Did you have a good time at the movie last night?

*kyabetsu* · 12-16-2002, 08:27 AM

Kya tensed for a split second before his arms surrounded her, but relaxed when Don's voice and his embrace assured her that any anger from the night before had faded away. She let herself melt against him a bit, more than happy to forget his tense words in the infirmary. She smiled brightly when he kissed her head and nodded to Leo.

kya: yes, the movie was lots of fun.

She didn't offer any details or mention Machias' collapse.

Dad, where's mom.....is she okay?.....Please Dad, talk to me....its me, your daughter! What's wrong? please, why wont you tell me...? Dont hide stuff from me Dad, please....~ She reached out to him, but he gave a yell, and she suddenly was attacked on both sides by security guards in white and blue jackets, and began to pull her away. She struggled as much as she could, and began crying out...~~ Lemme go! I want My Dad...! Where's my Dad!? Her blankets were tangled around her tightly, and she struggled with all her worth. Dammit! DAD DONT LEAVE ME!!!! Where are you, where's Mom?! NOOO.....!

He waited until she claimed her breakfast before giving her a quick hug and kiss on her hair Leo finished his tea. He'd gotten breakfast at Vespera's earlier, and was just having tea while waiting for everyone else to wake up. Morning Don, Kya. Did you have a good time at the movie last night? __________________ Vespera Blaze

She let herself melt against him a bit, more than happy to forget his tense words in the infirmary. She smiled brightly when he kissed her head and nodded to Leo. kya: yes, the movie was lots of fun. She didn't offer any details or mention Machias' collapse.
