RPG: DIA DE LOS MUERTOS -->CONTINUATION WEEK from HELL & - Page 143

*Ren frowned at the wind. It wasn't that strong, but it was definitely enough to have pushed the scarf around a good bit. She took a few hesitant steps into the yard wondering if it was really worth the search. At least it was a good break from the convo they had been having inside. Prob'ly confused the guy more than anything else! It was easy to tell that they'd both run out of things to say. Ren was curious about Don's species too, but didn't feel that it was her place to ask. She paused as she caught a glimpse of the striped material a ways down the lane. Solves that...

*She walked a ways to retrieve it, but soon changed her mind. Her wings needed a stretch anyhow, now that the tea had helped her back to her normal state. Making sure no one else was in sight, she muttered a few words. Fire sprung from her back and arched outwards, leaving large bright orange wings edged with red and purple in its wake. (And, strangely, all without damaging the coat!) A few minutes later, she was once again knocking at the door, scarf in hand.*

*kyabetsu* · 01-02-2003, 04:50 PM

Raph stood and stretched. He'd been down in the lab, sifting through Don's CRAP for what felt like hours.

R: all i wanted was a new set of fvckin hinges...

He tackled another pile.
R: (internal) i know where he USED ta keep spare hardware... but thanks ta the flood, he's gone and stacked everything...

Nothing was where Don used to keep it. Raph shifted a pile of circuit boards and a few tackle boxes worth of components before he found the spice rack that Don used to hold all the nails, screws, nuts and bolts they could possible EVER use. Beside that was the shoes box labelled "DOORS."

R: HIGH fvckin TIME.

Raph opened it and threw a jar of wood screws in along with a philps head screwdriver and a hammer label "LAB HAMMER DO NOT REMOVE." He tucked the box under his arm and turned out the lights behind himself.

R: that'll do it.

On his way up the stairs he heard someone knocking on the front door. Peering through the peephole in the door, he squinted in confusion at the young lady on their door step.

R: (loudly) We found god YESTERDAY, and we buy our girl scout cookies online. BYE.

Renee · 01-02-2003, 05:17 PM

*Ren rolled her eyes at the comment, but her eyebrows furrowed at the unfamiliar voice. She flexed her wings. Whoever it was, it sure as hell wasn't Don. His aura, although stronger, was somewhat similar. Taking a guess, she shot back at him.* Lucky for you, turtle-boy, that I ain't no girl scout! Wouldja mind either opening this door or telling Donatello that his 'guest' is back to take him up on the tea? It's kinda cold out here...

*Kameko* · 01-02-2003, 06:04 PM

*Kameko sat on her bed, staring at the various ...'things' on the wall. She absently rubbed her knuckles, although the salve had long since been absorbed and the rubbing was actually causing more harm than good at this point.*

~Gawd, I'm bored.... but what's left to do, when half the house is injured or taking care of the injured, and the other half hates me?~

*She flopped backwards, laying across the width of her bed, and stared at the ceiling. Compared to the new paint job on the wall, the ceiling looked rather sadly bare. Maybe later she could talk Mike into another art session.*

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-02-2003, 06:33 PM

*Don leaned back and watched them play cards. He stifled a snicker as Vespera kept reaching over to poke Leo's knee, then attempting to look innocent when he looked up at her. It wasn't working. He looked at Kya. Who's expression told him exactly NOTHING about the cards she held. Don thought hard. There were some things that they NEEDED to talk about, and soon. He'd noticed a disturbing habit she had. When something was bothering her, she pushed it COMPLETELY away. She didn't deal with it, talk about it, or take the time to understand anything about it as far as he could tell and that wasn't healthy. Asked about yesterday, she'd repeatedly answered that she was fine, but she shouldn't be. She should be upset, and shaken and worried. God knows he had been. She looked happier now though, and he resolved to leave it alone until he could talk to her privately without making a big deal about it.*

*Vespera: Poke.....poke.....poke....*

*kyabetsu* · 01-02-2003, 06:51 PM

Raph stepped back from the closed door.
R(internal)... COMPLETE stranger... 'turtle-boy'... DONATELLO... 'guest' ...tea...

R: (eyes pointed at the sky) why the fvck don't NOBODY TELL ME NUTHIN.

He opened the door.
R: WELL? in or out? you gonna just STAND THERE?...

He trailed off. Now that he wasn't looking through the tight lense of the fish-eye in the door, he could see she had wings. Flaming wings. He leaned out the door and scanned the area for passers-by. He didn't see anyone, but grabbed her by the shoulder and jerked her inside.

R: (growl) Okay, GUEST. House Rule #1: BE SUBTLE while you're outside where folks can SEE YOU. Can you extinguish those or put 'em away or SOMETHIN' before you light the house on fire and the WHOLE FRICKIN" WORLD knows we're here?!

Leo shot another look at Ves. She was worse than MIKE, and that innocent expression wasn't fooling him a bit. He lapsed into "standard Mike Ignoring procedure." It seemed to work on her too.

L: Quit it. ... Quit it. ... Quit it. ... Quit it...

kya loosened her blanket just a bit. She was feeling better and Leo and Ves had established a rhythm. It was almost like being in a room with a ticking clock.

Renee · 01-02-2003, 07:16 PM

Jumpy, aren't we? *Renee smirked. She closed her eyes and, in a second, the wings were gone* I'm not worried. It's practically a ghost town out there. And if anyone did see, I highly doubt they'd let themselves believe it. Oh and, by the way, the name's Ren.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-02-2003, 07:17 PM

*Vespera drew her next card, and meeped happily before putting down a run. She forgot to poke Leo that round.*

*Don relaxed on the stool, concentrating on NOT moving, and STILL. It felt good.*

*kyabetsu* · 01-02-2003, 07:27 PM

Raph snorted.
R: Regardless of how many people YOU saw, you don't know how many--if any-- saw YOU. And when it's YOUR home that people are hanging FRICKIN neon SIGNPOSTS around, you'd be just as paranoid. So don't argue with me.

Raph shut his eyes and rubbed them with one hand.
R: (internal) guests....
He looked back at her with mild amusement when her name registered in his mind.
R:Wren, huh? Makes sense. C'mon Bird-Girl, let's see if i can find Donnie for ya.

He turned abruptly and stalked down the hall, the box of hardware jingling under his arm. He stuck his head in the kitchen.

R: (internal) Empty.

the livingroom.

R(internal) Empty

the infirmary.

R: Don. Bird-girl here says you owe her tea.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-02-2003, 07:37 PM

*Donatello looked up as Raph called into the infirmirary.* Morning Raph. Find your scarf OK Ren?

*Vespera looked up at Raph and the spiky redhead.* Hello!

*kyabetsu* · 01-02-2003, 07:44 PM

Leo frowned at Raph's tone infront of a guest, but it didn't last long. Raph grunted good morning at Don and had disappeared down the hall even before Ren stepped into the room.

Leo tried to size up the red headed girl in the doorway, before it occurred to him that as a mage, she wouldn't have to be physically strong to be dangerous. She seemed friendly enough and Don was calm. If she'd dealt with raph already, then she'd had her fair share of anti-social behavior aimed at her already.

Leo smiled at her; she was a guest.
L: Come on in, Ren, is it? My name is Leonardo. This is Vespera. That's Kya.

kya waved and smiled politely.

Leo stood and offered Ren his chair, before he crossed the room and pulled up a stool for himself.

Renee · 01-02-2003, 07:49 PM

*Ren didn't argue. Considered arguing, but didn't. How many people could there be around here? The house seemed pretty secluded to her. But she let it drop. It was his house. She glared at Raph briefly for the comment about her name, but also decided against showing him exactly what this 'bird-girl' could do. He'd stopped at another doorway now, and she could see Don inside. She called out to Raph as he left.* Thanks, turtle boy!

*She turned back to Don and the crowd she hadn't yet met with a smile.* Hey. Nice to meet you. All of you. And yeah..*she held up the scarf to Donnie*...I found it.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-02-2003, 07:57 PM

*Don moved over slightly, making more room for another chair around the cot as Leo pulled it up.* Good to hear Ren. Let me go put on the kettle, and I'll get another pot of tea going. Or would anyone prefer coffee?

*Vespera shook her head at the offer* No thanks. Although water would be good.

*kyabetsu* · 01-02-2003, 08:29 PM

Leo folded his cards up and set them on the bed face down. He'd had bupkiss for a hand anyways.

L: tea sounds great Don. (he turned and addresses the spike-haired one) so what brings you to our door, Ren?

Kya nodded to Don, flashing him a quick thumbs up.
kya: i'll take tea too please.
She did a quick head count.
kya(internal) tea for five...
She got up, leaving her blanket on her chair and followed him over to the teapot.
kya: can i help somehow?

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-02-2003, 08:34 PM

*Don eyed the teapot he kept in the infirmirary.* I think I'm going to have to use the one in the kitchen, this pot only does a couple of cups at a time. An extra pair of hands would be useful... but don't you have a game to play?

*enigma-1* · 01-02-2003, 08:40 PM

K: *growls in frustration, her tail lashing fiercely as she glares at the youngster before her* What do you mean you lost him? You're the one w/ the heat seeker in her head.

Trianna: *light gray and white Naga, only about four feet in height at her tallest, hisses back* It's not my fault. You know that he can lose anyone when he wants, even me.

*kyabetsu* · 01-02-2003, 08:44 PM

Kya glanced over at the cot where Leo's conversation with Ren had effectively put the game on hold.
Kya: I don't think Leo like Rummy.

She headed for the kitchen just ahead of him.
kya: and an extra pair of hands might be nice, but how bout you settle for just one for now?

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-02-2003, 08:48 PM

*Don grinned* Whatever you've got to spare ma'am would be appreciated.

*He rummaged around for the largest teapot they had, and decided to test his theory.* So Kya, about your hand. How is it doing? Do you need more painkillers for it?

*kyabetsu* · 01-02-2003, 08:52 PM

kya shrugged.
kya; fine; i haven't been moving it, so it's okay. How can i help?

*enigma-1* · 01-02-2003, 08:56 PM

Keiko: *brushes back a stray lock of hair* I know, I know. Just see if you can pick up his scent again.

T: *merely hisses again and slithers off, Keiko following*

*gasps sharply a second time as she manages to fall back against the wall* Primus, I hate this!

*reaches for her satchel, pulling out a vial of liquid which she promptly swallows*
