RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 145

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-05-2002, 05:39 PM

*Leonardo walked over to the chest that held the shurkien and other smaller weaponry. His eyes were useless in the dark, so he let them slide closed as he opened it, and removed a half a dozen or so of the lethal pieces of metal. Behind him and to his right he could feel Splinters presence, and he drew from memory a vision of what the dojo looked like. There was a thwipp next to his left ear, and a thwap as an arrow with a rounded head hit the wall next to him*

SP: And you will do this while under fire. *The arrows were blunted, and wouldn't penetrate, but they could and would leave a nasty bruise if he wasn't paying attention*

*Leonardo didn't answer. In cases like this, any noise was frowned upon, and would more than likely get him shot. He burst into motion, throwing the first two stars and hearing them impact on the board before he switched direction. Splinter was easily the best shot out of all of them, and he was making Leo work at not getting hit.*

*Vespera laughed as the conversation drifted away from the songs she and Kya had picked. I should have come out and met everyone ages ago.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-05-2002, 05:40 PM

Raph stood and grunted at her. He walked out along the trail to the bonfire and silently cursed his coat that was sitting back in the hall closet.

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 05:45 PM

*stifles a snicker at his grunt*

~He Raph, King of Cavemen! He no need speak -- he just grunt!~

*The visual image of Raphael in a tiger-skin loincloth and carrying a big stick, his knuckles dragging the ground, came unbidden to her mind, and she snickered out loud, instantly regretting it*

~...Oops...~

*terran631* · 11-05-2002, 05:46 PM

SP: *grins easily knowing his son could not see it* Very good, Leonardo. You hit the board but they hit the outside edge. I hope by the time this exercise is through, at least one will have hit center. *he fires two more arrows in rapid succession and hears one of them hit his intended target*

*kyabetsu* · 11-05-2002, 05:52 PM

Raph heard Kameko snickkering behind him and it occured to him to be mad, but he was just so damn tired. He religated her presence to "Bothersome Gnat" status in his mind and kicked the leaves as he travelled the trail.

Kya caught Vespera's eye..
Kya: one more song? Do you know "To Morrow?"...

Mike's expression made her rush to clarify... NO. not the THAT "TOMORROW" song... I'm hurt that you'd even THINK i'd suggest an ANNIE song... no... TWO words "To. Morrow."...

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-05-2002, 05:55 PM

*Leonardo muffled a grunt as one of the arrows connected at the edge of his plastron. He immediately dropped flat, and felt more than heard the passage of the next one just over his head. He grinned. Time to play. He thrust himself back into a handstand, and flipped over the next imcoming missle. Two more stars winged towards the board. Another clipped the outside edge, but the second impacted a little closer to the center. Better, but not good enough He almost tripped over one of the spent arrows, turning it instead into a cartwheel and picking it up. He tossed it at where he felt Splinter to be, and smirked as the rate of fire dropped while he dodged. Last two stars were in the air before he danced away again*

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 06:00 PM

*breathes a sigh of relief when Raph DOESN'T go postal on her, but her relief turns to concern. She catches up to him and walks beside him*

*Tentatively puts a hand on his arm. When she speaks, it's with a maturity that rarely surfaces*Hey, uh, Raph... Raph, if you, uh, need to just talk about... whatever -- even if it's how much you'd like to beat me to a pulp -- I'm here for ya, alright, bro? Just, y'know, hang in there.

*kyabetsu* · 11-05-2002, 06:01 PM

Kya grinned when no one objected.
Kya: no promises i make it through this tonguetwister without having to stop ... but see if you can keep up Mike:

I started on a journey about a year ago
To a little town called Morrow in the State of Ohio.
I've never been much of a traveler, and I really didn't know
That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.

So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
For tips regarding Morrow not expecting to beguiled.
Said I, "My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return
No later than tomorrow for I haven't time to burn."

Said he to me, "Now let me see if I have heard you right.
You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night.
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.

If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don't you see,
You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right,
Today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night."

Said I, "My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat.
There is a town named Morrow on the line now tell me that."
"There is," said he, "but take me a quiet little tip.
To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip.

The train today to Morrow leaves today at eight thirty-five.
At half-past ten to Morrow is the time it should arrive.
So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump,
can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?"

Said I, "I'd like to go to Morrow so can I go today
and get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?"
"Well, well," said he to me, "and I've got no more to say.
Can't get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today."

Said I, "I guess you know it all but kindly let me say,
how can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?"
Said he, "You cannot go to Morrow any more today
'cause the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way."

I was so disappointed. I was mad enough to swear.
The train had gone to Morrow and had left me standing there.
That man was right in telling me that I was a-howling jay.
I could not go to Morrow so I guess in town I'll stay.

Raph looked down at her. She meant it.
R: yeh. yeh. good.
R

internal) ... the last thing i need right now is sentiment.... ****, she's gonna make me feel WORSE for trying to make me feel better...
R: go on ahead Kameko, somebody's singing. Beat 'em up for me. (sad smirk).

*terran631* · 11-05-2002, 06:07 PM

*Splinter was more than a little surprised as one of his own arrows came at him. He dodged it just in time and fired his remaining arrow as the last two shuriken struck the target. One of them dead center* Well done, Leonardo. Although your aim needs some improving. Only one found the center of the target. *he set his bow to the side and struck a match lighting the candles in the center of the room* Come, my son and sit down. Time is short and there is a great deal to discuss.

Mike: *frowns trying to figure the song out* ok.. Morrow is the town..but you had to go yesterday or was it tomorrow if you wanted to get there by train...but you missed the train because it left yesterday..but you couldnt eh...if a guy rides into town on Sunday, he stays for five days and leaves on Sunday..how is that possible?

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 06:12 PM

*smiles back, understanding.* Will do, bro.

*takes off down the trail, following the voices, and hearing Kya sing some weird sort of song she didn't recognize*

Whoa, nice singing Kya! You sound almost exactly like an angry cow!

*grins widely as she nears the bonfire, it's obvious from her expression that she's only kidding*

So, I hear you guys have food! Any left?

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-05-2002, 06:17 PM

*Vespera had run out of fingers trying to organize the points of that song*

*Looks up as someone new bursts on the scene* Hello!

*Leonardo moved over, and took a seat across from Splinter* Hai Sensei

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 06:19 PM

*blinks across the fire at the stranger* Um, hi, who are you?

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-05-2002, 06:22 PM

*Vespera stands up and offers her hand* My names Vespera. I came by to meet Leo's family

*terran631* · 11-05-2002, 06:25 PM

SP: *looks at his son* Leonardo...the first thing I must tell you is how sorry I am. Yesterday, I spoke with Michaelangelo and he confessed to saying some rather harsh words to you. I was about to reprimand him when I realized I had done the same thing. During our sparring the other day, you were asking for my help and in my anger did the opposite. I ask for your forgiveness, Leonardo and I hope that you will talk to me about what has been bothering you the last two days.

*kyabetsu* · 11-05-2002, 06:26 PM

kya cast a glance at kamita
Kya : (deadpan) it was NOT the cow voice. I was impersonating your shower noises. (smile cracks through) There's food. But first you've GOT to meet someone... (she stands and pine needles clinging to her pants, scurries over to Kamita and drags her by the hand over to Vesita.)

Kya: (to kamita) This is Verspera. She's really sweet and Leo had the good sense to bring her home!
(to Vespera) This is Kameko. She was raised with the guys and she's really strong!

Raph rounded the bend and stood in the shadows as he watched Kya's enthusiastic introduction.

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 06:27 PM

'Leo's Family'? Leo brought her home? Leo's got a girl? Heh, who'd'a thunk it? Good for him. I don't know what you see in him, but more power to ya, just the same! *lopsided grin*

*glances at Kya, blushing* And I don't sing in the shower...

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-05-2002, 06:29 PM

*Vespera smiled and shook her hand.* You know, I seem to be hearing that a lot around here. What is so incredible about Leo having a date?

*Leonardo felt muscles relaxing that he hadn't realized were tense.* Hai Sensei, of course I forgive you. What you said was not completely wrong, although not what I had been hoping to hear at the time. For now...its complicated...and I'm still trying to get my head around it.

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 06:32 PM

*quickly forgets her embarassment* Uh, lets just say he, uh, ain't exactly the 'dating' type...

*terran631* · 11-05-2002, 06:34 PM

*on the opposite side of the fire, Mike chuckled* C'mon, Kame...I'll get you some hot dogs. You like chili?

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 06:35 PM

*grins* Is that a trick question, Mike? I love chili, and hotdogs!
