RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 178

*terran631* · 11-09-2002, 03:11 PM

Mike: Yeh...not until DOnnies done fixing the plumbing anyway. It would be a big mess to clean and no water. *smiles* SO...what do I do?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-09-2002, 03:15 PM

*She chuckles, looking over the recipe as they walked down the hall to the kitchen.*

Well, we have to cut up some onion, pull the hamburger from the fridge, get some chicken broth, rice, stewed tomatoes, okra, chicken, carrots, green beans....and hope that the frozen veggie and Minestrone blends are done thawing...

*looks up and grins* Heh, like i said, its good stuff... One bowl fills you up...two lasts you a day, and it gets even better with age...

*terran631* · 11-09-2002, 03:21 PM

Mike: *gets to the kitchen and starts pulling ingredients from the refridgerator and sets them on the counter*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-09-2002, 03:22 PM

v: See you around Kali

*she turned back to Leo, her eyes thoughtful* You don't know? What about the rest of her scars?

*Splinter settled down in his chair. He had hated saying that to Michaelangelo, but he could not continue to heap punishment after punishment on his sons. He wanted to know what the root of the problem was, and fix that, but it seemed so elusive...*

*Donworked delicately with the pipes, but one wouldn't fit no matter how much he attempted to ease it in. Finally he drew back his fist and banged on it hard and watched it slide into place* Perfect.

*terran631* · 11-09-2002, 03:35 PM

Leo; *froze and his mind started working at a furious pace*Not this again. But this is Vespera, not Raphael. I tell Vespera everything A little voice in his head reminded him that he never told her about what happened the last time this question came up. He argued with the voice. Oh yeh...honey..I had a nervous breakdown, almost killed my sister and all because someone asked me the exact same question. Well you said you told her everything. Shut up Leo looks at Vespera and settles on an answer thats no answer* She didnt get those here.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-09-2002, 03:40 PM

*Vespera watched Leo suddenly freeze like a rabbit in headlights. A quick internal battle raged behind his eyes, and he answered her vaguely with something that barely touched on the original question. Interesting.* Well, I was talking to her when we went for a swim yesterday, and she was saying that Splinter had adopted her. I guess this means she isn't going back to where ever she got them right? She's made a clean break?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-09-2002, 03:41 PM

*Machias pulled out a cutting board, and a large knife. She then pulled out a large soup pot, and set it on the heat.*
Okay...first we brown some onion...you can take out the chicken and the other cutting board. They gotta be around bitesize...

*She started cutting up the onions, and putting them into the pot with some butter, allowing them to sizzle...*

*terran631* · 11-09-2002, 04:02 PM

Leo: *relaxes a little when he realizes she's not pushing for details. But she was making him realize how very little about Kya he knew. She very seldom talked about her brother, going home or even trying to get in contact with him. But it still was her brother. He didnt think Kya had plans of breaking off ALL ties with him. Feeling like an idiot he decides to answer her as honestly as he can* Splinter invited her to stay with us and he's starting to train her. She seems to like it, and she's trying really hard. It's more about getting her confidence up now anyway.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-09-2002, 04:10 PM

*Vespera thought about that. Again it wasn't really an answer to what she had asked. She tried a different tack.* OK, I was just worried about her. After she came into the living room yesterday all freaked out like that I wanted to make sure she was alright. *pause* She seemed to bounce back pretty quickly, but then when we went swimming I saw more of the scars she's carrying. After seeing that, I just want to know that she isn't going back to it. Too many people do.

*terran631* · 11-09-2002, 04:17 PM

Leo: *nods and sighs* I dont think she will go back. She's never told me she had plans to. *with a little more confidence* We wont let her get hurt like that again.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-09-2002, 04:24 PM

*Vespera nodded* Oh good. *smirk* I'd hate to think the knight in shining green armour thing was an act to get my attention. That would have been so disappointing. *she stuck her tongue out at him*

**Kali** · 11-09-2002, 04:30 PM

*Kali comes across Don working on the plumbing* Hey Don, how's it going? *looks around* Was all this necessary to replace one bathtub?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-09-2002, 04:34 PM

*Machias put the cut chicken, hamburg and assorted spices into the pot, warm delicious smells filing the kitchen.*

Okay...once those are done, I'll put in the broth, and let it sit for a bit...

*She puts the lid on the pot and goes to the pantry, pulling out the canned vegetables.*
Hmm...does anyone in this household like okra? Or is that just an adult thing?

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-09-2002, 04:40 PM

*Don looked up* Oh hi Kali! I didn't hear you get in. No, the bath tub is in already, but most of the pipes down here gave way for some reason at about the same time. I have to replace just about the entire outgoing water pipes. How are you feeling today? *Good move Don, sound a little more awkward why don't you.*

*terran631* · 11-09-2002, 04:41 PM

Mike: *shrugs and wipes his hands on a towel* Not quite sure. We'll usually eat anything though. *grins a little*

Leo: *looks surprised for a minute and then smiles and nods* SO..anything else you want to know or are you going to amuse yourself by taking more shots at me?

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-09-2002, 04:42 PM

V: Umm....lemme think about it?

**Kali** · 11-09-2002, 04:44 PM

I'm doing fine, I guess. I'm mostly settled. Machias' making lunch, thought I'd walk around until it's ready. Huh. Is everything okay Don?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-09-2002, 04:46 PM

Heh, i know...*rolls eyes, grinning* I remember the first time i cooked for you guys...nearly cleaned me out...*chuckles* okay, we'll keep it...if you guys are as sneaky as i am, i'm sure You'll be "coming back for seconds"....have nothing but a pile of okra left in the pot...

*She sets the cans on the counter and pulls out the opener, giving it to Mike.*

Here Mr. Muscle, do your worst...Im gonna open the thawed stuff....

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-09-2002, 04:52 PM

Don: Yes...no...maybe *sighs and chuckles a bit* all of the above.

*terran631* · 11-09-2002, 04:54 PM

MIke: *sets to work starting to open cans. He doesnt feel much like talking to he lets his mind grow blank and hums to himself*

Leo: Ok...you do that. While you're thinking, can I get you something to drink?
