*merely glares at Leo, red optics flaring* You're daring to talk to me, organic?

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 09:53 PM

L: yes. you are trespassing. my family and i are friends of enigma-1 and her friends. but since she didn't like you well enough to introduce you or take you with her, you can just leave on your own.

kya slowed after a few branches in the tunnels. she stopped and silently passed vesita a flashlight of her own

*enigma-1* · 11-15-2002, 09:55 PM

*snorts* Can't exactly do that, organic. W/o Enigma, I'm stuck in this dimension and since this is where I entered, I'm not leaving until she comes back.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-15-2002, 10:00 PM

V: Thanks Kya. Its appreciated. *She flicked it on and played it over the walls, and down the tunnel they were in.* So Kya.... um, if I can be rude, what does Kya mean anyways? I don't think Ive heard it before. *chuckles* like I'm one to talk

*enigma-1* · 11-15-2002, 10:06 PM

Besides, Enigma knows that I wouldn't stoop low enough to let myself be introduced to some organic. Even the ones she seems to associate with.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 10:11 PM

Leo just blinked.
Leo(internal) it's not a snake. ... it has the courtesy of a lump of dung... but it's not a snake....

Leo: since you are not allowed to wait here. you can wait outside. you should be quiet enough out there. I said enigma's a friend. I'll send her to you when she shows up again. i don't want you here any longer than you have to be. Do you understand? place for waiting is this way...

kya: it's a nickname.... the last of a chain i guess... kya short for Kyabetsu... japanese for col, which was my siblings' name for me. it means "Cabbage" in english.... but Col was short for my real name... (she turned off her flashlight.) We're here. (she tilted her head and by the light of Vespera's flash light tried to gauge whether or not her friend would be able to follow her. she paused at Vesita's full tshirt. and gave it up for a loss) this will do. (she sat) no one will find us here.

*enigma-1* · 11-15-2002, 10:14 PM

(sorry about this)

I'm going nowhere, organic. I told you that I'm waiting where I came in, which is here. I'm staying right here until Enigma shows again.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-15-2002, 10:24 PM

*Vespera took a seat.* "Cabbage" huh? Neat. I used to wish mine was a nickname. 'Specially in junior high. Ah well, chalk it up to my mother being a hold over hippie. Mine means either evening wind, or spirit, depending on what century you're tracing the roots back to. *She paused* Speaking of spirits, tell me more about this holiday thing tomorrow night.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 10:29 PM

Leo desparately wanted this THING out of the lair before it did like all of enigma's creatures inevitabley did and exploded or attacked or turned on the sub woofers or something. It would wake Master Splinter... But it wasn't moving. not unless it was dumb enough to be convinced to move.

Leo: fine. stay there. that's the spot for trash pickup.... we have a port scheduled for this evening. who knows when. They're never on time. so you just SIT there. and wait. for the detritobots to port you to whichever trash facility has space for you. I don't know WHERE you'll end up. AND Enigma'll never bother to look. OR. YOU CAN USE YOUR CIRCUITS AND MOVE 30 feet THAT way OUT THE DOOR and wait SUCCESSFULLY for enigma to find you.

Leo waited to see if the circuit board would buy it.

*enigma-1* · 11-15-2002, 10:35 PM

*reappears btween the 2, murder in her eyes* Wrong, he's leaving now.

RT: Enigma...

Shove it, Rattrap. I told you, let me move on w/ my life. That means, you're not part of it anymore. Whatever happens to you, that's your choice, not mine. Now get lost, tinhead.

*eyes flare once, then makes an arch gesture w/ one hand, zapping him out of sight*

Matrix, help you if you ever come near me again.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 10:41 PM

leo made shushing noises...
L: please, Enigma, keep it down, Splinter's trying to sleep, he needs it to recover, please, BE-- be quiet. ... what posessed you to bring that thing here to begin with...?

Kya pulled a face...
kya: i hated my name when i was young. My real name was pretty. "Col" just sounded too much like "Cole-Slaw" and i didn't pick up the Japanese name until highschool... It's prettier in Japanese, but still a little dippy. (she smiled quietly) kya's not bad at all though and it doesn't mean anything but ME.

So what do you know about Dia de Los Muertos? Or heck, halloween...?

*enigma-1* · 11-15-2002, 10:43 PM

*looks at him, her eyes still reflecting a still healing pain* You honestly believe that I would bring that...that biased tinhead here voluntarily? Sorry Leo, but that's not the case. He followed in my wake when I wasn't looking and I didn't know until I got here.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 10:46 PM

Leo deflates a bit.
L: sorry. I just-- it's be a bad day, ok? Let's forget it was here. come on in, i'll get you something to drink or eat or something....

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-15-2002, 10:48 PM

*Vespera closed her eyes and thought back* Halloween? Bear with me, its been a while since I actually thought about it. Dressing up, candy... ah, the little folk are supposed to be out in force. Demons and goblins, redcaps and pookah.... Some are mean, most are just out for a good time. People carve pumpkins into scary faces to keep away the witches and evil, and dressed up to "blend in" if they had to go out. "Trick or Treat" was just that. Extortion run by the Folk. You have them sweets so they wouldn't curse your home, but bless it instead for the coming winter....

I remembered more of that than I thought I did.

*enigma-1* · 11-15-2002, 10:49 PM

*only nods* I...I can understand that. Mine hasn't exactly been the best either.

*sighs* Look, I'm sorry that he came here and I've already warded the place so neither he or any of the rest can come here.

*shakes her head* No thanks, Leo. I need...I need to go. It's better for everyone right now if I just stay as far away from here as I can. I just came to see if Splinter was doing better. Now I see that that was a mistake.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 10:52 PM

Leo shook his head.
L: you're always welcome here and Splinter IS doing better... his just got to recouperate. you don't have to go. It's good to know you were concerned about Sensei...

kya smiled hugely. SHe'd found someone familiar with at least some of the old myths.

Kya: that's right! So i follow OLD catholicism. the stuff that my grandmother raised me with is almost pagan in it's beliefs... enough so that a lot of what you just said is reflected in the holidays we celbrate. So tomorrow is ALL SOUL"S DAY. Starting at sun down, all the souls in heaven, hell and limbo are free to walk the earth. That's were all the stories of spooks and demons and magic come from. ... for that one night, we're all free to go where we please. The catholic tradition holds that on that ONE night a year, you can speak with your dearly departed. Prayer ritual keeps the demons out and invites your family in, and it will be possible for me to see my family again. to introduce my new family to them. to introduce my new friends to them. to let them know that i'm ok and i haven't forgotten them. ...

*enigma-1* · 11-15-2002, 10:54 PM

*nods slowly* He's my friend. I always worry about them when one is hurt or sick.

*backs away* And...thank you for saying that. It's nice to know there's one place where I don't have worry about having to be on guard. Good-bye Leonardo. I hope I can see the rest of you again soon.

*disappears*

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 11:02 PM

Leo stands and waves a the open air before heading back to the livingroom. He takes a head count.

L: one snoring brother. ... um... where are Vespera and Kya?

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

*Vespera thought about that. Her figments were always worst at this time of year, and halloween was the worst of them all. She hadn't gone out for it in years. That was the main reason she remembered the old legends. It was an explanation for what she could see before they had taken her to that Place and told her she was Sick. But again, this was here. Kya had a bad that went sideways. She was dating a turtle. He was real. They all were real. She wouldn't dismiss Kya's inviting her family over as delusional. Or at least, no more delusional than Vespera was herself.*

If that invite is still open, I'd like to meet them.

*kyabetsu* · 11-15-2002, 11:21 PM

kya's face lit from the inside. Then it flickered and fell.
Kya: i'm so glad you wan-na come Vesita-a... b-but (she wasn't crying, but her breath was catchiing and she was struggling to hold back the tears. She aimed her gaze at the cieling and breathed deeply through her nose. it went away. it took some shoving, but she pushed it all back, when she looked beck to Vespera, her voice was steady if a bit weak and her eyes were glazed but dry) but. I'm afraid it'll have to be NEXT year. Leo didn't seem to think it was a good idead what with Splinter sick an alll. I agree. the last thing Splinter needs is strangeness in his home while he needs to heal. (she caught the look in Vesita's eyes and quickly rushed to Leo's defense). He did tell me he thought it might be ok, but Vesita. He felt GUILTY. if it was a bad idea before, then all the regret in the world won't change that. It's poor timing and that's that. I will not jeopordize splinter's recovery because i'm too impatient to wait until next year....

Leo moved toward the kitchen, he heard voices but not who he's hoped to find: Kameko and Raphael.
L: (to Raphael) you're back... where did you go anyways?

R: (mouthful) to establish myself in the realestate market. lookin at some island property
Raph smiled when Kameko snorted her soda. Leo let it go and after waiting for Kameko to quit coughing and moaning about her sinuses, he asked."
L: you two seen Vespera and Kya?

R: plenty of times.
Kameko: you are SUCH A ... DOUCHE BAG... Raph. (to Leo) sorry, but not since earlier this evening when we were all in the liiving room. They may be in kya's room though...
Raph kept right on eating. His jaw felt better and he'd skipped to many meals to care if he eaten a calzone and a half by himself. Kameko turned back to Raph.
kamekO : Bet you can't FINISH that second one....
