RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 246

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-20-2002, 11:01 PM

Ves: *To Leo* Yup. With him. *She turned to Machias, and her voice was more hesitant than it had been before* So how are you feeling?

*Don sighed and shook his head.* Circumstances? Sensei, you need rest. Short of the lair being on fire, there should have been no reason to leave.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-20-2002, 11:05 PM

*Machias turned to look at Vespera, and gave a small smile.*

I'm okay...*shakes head sighing* Better now that everyone's over their shock....* Glances over at Mike then back at V, grinning, and raises her voice for him to be able to hear* Heh, thought Mike was gonna wet himself when he saw me....

*terran631* · 11-20-2002, 11:07 PM

SP: Donatello. *pauses. He did not want to be forced to defend his actions to his sons but as long as Donatello kept his tone respectful he would have this conversation with him and afford him the courtesy of an explanation.* Donatello...Kya was in here quite distraught over the loss of her bag. She ran out of here in such a state that I decided to follow her to make sure all was well. My students' well-being comes before anything. I would have worried more had I stayed here.

Mike: *returns from the kitchen with a scowl* I wasnt THAT bad.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-20-2002, 11:10 PM

*smiles, arching an eyebrow at him*

Okay, I"ll believe you.

*kyabetsu* · 11-20-2002, 11:14 PM

Raph lounged in the chair. Keeping quiet and watching it all like some kind of reality TV show.....

Leo smiled...
L: i don't know mike, i've seen you take blows to the head with milder shock....

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-20-2002, 11:17 PM

*Donatello looked at Splinter. This was going to suck, but it had to be done.* Sensei, Kya and I have been working on the altar for her ritual tomorrow night for the last forty five minutes. In that time, I didn't see you once coming to enquire about her state of mind, or whether she had indeed found the bag or not.

Master, I'm sorry about this, but I did not ask you to stay in the infirmirary overnight for no reason other than to have you sleep in a bed that is less comfortable than your own. I asked you to stay in here because I have deep concerns about your health and wellbeing, and would like to monitor both. This is your second collapse in less than a week. Last time this happened, I let you talk me into letting you out of the infirmirary despite my better judgement, and you collapsed again. What I am saying Sensei, is either you trust my skills as a physician, or you don't, but that doesn't change the fact that I am currently in charge of your health, and if I need to, I will bring in everyone else in the house to ensure that your health is of paramount importance, and that you follow your Doctors orders whether or not you agree with them. I am not going to let you do serious harm to yourself because you are feeling stubborn Sensei.

*terran631* · 11-20-2002, 11:17 PM

Mike: *sits down on the floor and looks up at Leo with a smile* Gettin hit on the head doesnt bother me much after livin with Raph all these years. Seeing my girl suddenly change isnt something I see everyday. And still...I wasnt THAT Bad.

SP: *stands silently for a moment taking in what Donatello has said* Donatello....I believed Kya had found her bag when she left the living room. Your brother had been seen with it and when she did not return, I surmised she had found it. The reason I remained afterwards was to have a nice conversation with your brother and his girlfriend. I was not aware that by resting, I was to remain in seclusion even for tonight. I was not tired, I did not want to sleep, but I was relaxing as you ORDERED. I am not trying to be stubborn. I am trying to be understanding of your concerns.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-20-2002, 11:21 PM

*grabs Mike's masktails, playing with them*
Well, you didnt faint on me...
*smiles, and slips it off his head...*
so I'm happy for that...

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-20-2002, 11:37 PM

Don: Sensei, you are treating this entire situation as a mood of mine that should be indulged, not as a possible threat to your life. When I had left the infirmirary earlier this evening, it was under the assumption that you were going to meditate, then sleep. I even recall asking if I could bring you a book to read. I am asking you to trust my diagnosis and medical opinion Master. In here, I am not your son, nor your student. I am the person whos been studying medical texts since he was seven years old. I'm the person who managed to cobble together, beg borrow or scrounge the equipment we need to make this place a working infirmirary. I am the person you trust to put your sons and daughters back together when something has gone wrong. This is not a minor deal sensei, and I am not overreacting to this situation.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-20-2002, 11:44 PM

*Leo shook his head as the two messed around with Mike's Bandanna, and looked to Vespera. She was leaning on him, and he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, looking at her lovingly.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-20-2002, 11:51 PM

Vespera checked the clock on the table. It was 10:40 and while her head was clear of alcohol, she was getting WAY to comfortable curled up next to Leo.
V: (standing suddenly) WELP! Nice talkin' to you Raph. Glad you're okay Machias. See you all tomorrow... Leo, you wanna walk me to the door?

Leo looked at her with a puzzled expression. She just smiled and took his arm in hers.
V: You are just too nice to drowse next to... I was all warm and happy and in another 20minutes, your living room turns into a pumpkin or your Sensei into a little white mouse with glass slippers... (she was confusing him and she knew it. She smiled at his vaguely lost expression. She took pity on him and spoke plainly) It's time for me to go, Cindershello.

He nodded slowly and walked her to the door.....

back in the livingroom.
Raph watched Mike being taunted with his own bandana.

*terran631* · 11-20-2002, 11:52 PM

SP: *sighs* Donatello...*he looks down and then back up* I trust you with my life as well as those of your brothers and sisters. If it seems I am taking your diagnosis as merely a whim than I am sorry, that is not the case. I was relaxing, I was not stressed. I was drinking a glass of water and speaking with your brother. I did not realize that this is detriment to my welfare. My son...I will do anything that you deem necessary to restore my health, but I can not...I will not stop living to prevent myself from dying.

Mike: *gave up on getting his bandana back. Grins* Gives me a headache sometimes anyway.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-20-2002, 11:59 PM

Well, i know the color gets annoying after looking at it after a while...
*she smirked at him, tossing it into his lap.*

*terran631* · 11-21-2002, 12:01 AM

Mike: Well...I coulda gone for the puce green color..but that woulda matched Raphael's skin so I decided against it.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-21-2002, 12:03 AM

*glances at Raph out of the corner of her eye before looking back at Mike*

I guess you made a good choice...

*kyabetsu* · 11-21-2002, 12:05 AM

Donatello would not be deterred.
D: Sensei, i cannot believe that one night in the infirmary constitutes "not living."
He signalled the end of the argument by pulling down the blankets on the cot.
D: Please.

Raph casually flipped off his brother and Machias, but his face held no particular annoyance. It was a reflexive gesture to Mike's tone and the use of his name. Raph's thoughts were elsewhere.

*terran631* · 11-21-2002, 12:26 AM

SP: *closes his eyes feeling very frustrated at his son's audacity. It was good that hair still covered a good portion of his face so that Donatello could not see it heat up with humiliation. Anything he could say now would seem terribly childish and giving in to his son would seem even more so. No..one night in the infirmary did not constitute "not living". But one day of being seen as weak could lead to a lifetime. He could forsee a future where his every move would be monitored. Every action judged against a scale of healty or not healthy. What would happen the next time he decided to spar Leonardo? Who would object? He opened his eyes and gazed at Donatello. Would things ever return to how they were before?* Very well, My son. This discussion is over for the night but we will finish it tomorrow. THank you for everything you have done for me today. Now...please...go.

*kyabetsu* · 11-21-2002, 12:39 AM

Don almost smiled with relief, but kept his face nuetral.
D: (without any particular emphasis) thank you sensei. Good night.
AFter a quick check to shut all the opened cabinets and make sure all was in order, Donatello left his patient to sleep.

kya finally got her face under control and headed out towards the living room. Donatello was no doubt long done with 'checking' on Splinter, and would be waiting. She entered the living room and blinked at the bathrobe-clad girl who had stripped Michelangelo of his "turtle clothes" ... kya stopped in the door way, but entered when Raph waved her in.

R: don't stare, people'll get the wrong idea. Mike you wanna put'cher clothes back on? yer makin' kya blush....

kya (internal-- memory) ...D: feel naked without it... kya; tortuga desnuda... (she blinked it back and red-faced, watched the girl playing keep away with mike.)
Kya

she spoke to cover her blushes) does machias know your flirting like that?

*terran631* · 11-21-2002, 12:45 AM

MIke: *grins at Raph* Its almost bedtime...I like sleepin naked. *but he put his bandana back on and turned to Kya* Flirting? Who's flirting?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-21-2002, 12:47 AM

*Machias grinned, and spoke in a low seductive voice. Heh, with the lousy french accent..*

It dont hurt no one....he's still in one piece, isnt he?
