RPG: DIA DE LOS MUERTOS -->CONTINUATION WEEK from HELL & - Page 153

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-13-2003, 08:13 PM

*Don relaxed enough to flash Kali a grin.* Good, I'd hate to think that there were more head injuries happening.

*Meko walked in* Speaking of head injuries, how's your melon?

*Vespera's grin flashed a hair wider when Kya didn't answer her, but she winked to show she wasn't trying to embarass her.*

*kyabetsu* · 01-13-2003, 08:14 PM

Kys nodded at Vespera. Her head was still stuffy from crying, but she had her equilibrium back.

Kya: yeah. i do. (smiling quietly) Donnie's very good to me.

Leo spared Kali a quick glance, but didn't say anything. She seemed happy enough, even if the change was drastic. He idly wondered what demons wore when they were depressed. Everyone else wore black, since that was her usual, maybe she wore colors when she got strung out. Dismissing the thought from his head, he flashed Donatello a conspiratorial grin.

L: don't worry about it.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-13-2003, 08:24 PM

*Vespera smiled warmly at her.* You deserve it.

*Don handed Leo two of the mugs, and managed to get the other three.* There's more tea made if you want it Meko. I'm a bit late in delivering these to the infirmirary. You're welcome to join us... oh, that reminds me, we have a couple of new guests in the lair. Don't kill the redhead that isn't Vespera wandering around, and watch out for the dragon. *He left the kitchen, grin tugging at his lips. He'd been dying to say that*

*enigma-1* · 01-13-2003, 08:28 PM

*shakes her head from the corner where she's now stationed* You know, I'm starting to think that this place has been magnatized for some purpose.

*kyabetsu* · 01-13-2003, 08:35 PM

Leo nodded greeting to Kameko, and followed Don back to the infirmary. He couldn't help but smirk at his brother's back.

L; (low voice) there be dragons here.

Kya blushed a little. She sought refuge in hostessing.
kya: you want a cookie, Vesita? how bout a strawberry?

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-13-2003, 08:48 PM

*Don snickered*

*Vespera brightened* Oooh strawberries. I thought they were out of season?

**Kali** · 01-13-2003, 09:16 PM

*Kali couldn't help but smile at how Don broke the news about the dragon. Then she took a huge bite of her sandwich to disguise her frown as she thought about her own pet dragon, Red. Bet he was as big as a good sized car now. She didn't realize how much she missed him.*

*With half her sandwich gone, she got back up to finish washing her brushes. Leaving them soaking was almost as back as leaving them dirty.*

*kyabetsu* · 01-13-2003, 09:36 PM

Kya smiled and pointed at the bag at the side of her bag.
K: no such thing as "out of season"

Leo followed Don into the infirmary were Kya and Ves were sticking strawberry "tongues" out at each other.

L: tea's here.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-13-2003, 09:46 PM

*Vespera immediately sucked the strawberry back into her face.* Gweat!

*She chewed quickly and swallowed the fruit.* Thanks Don, Leo.

*Reaching for her tea, she sipped it and winced back. Slightly sheepish* Its hot.

*Donatello chuckled and handed the other mug to Kya before putting the last one on the counter for Ren.* Where;d our guest go?

*Vespera pointed at the bathroom, Don nodded. Sipping her tea a little more cautiously Vespera looked at Don* So, can I go make those calls I mentioned?

**Kali** · 01-13-2003, 10:19 PM

*Justin patted his steering wheel gently as his van sputtered it's last.* It's okay, girl. *He climbed out of the van, glad that he'd at least made it to a mechanics. He walked right into the main office and tapped the bell for service. A scruffy looking man with a mullet walked in.* Can I help you?

Justin: Yeah, Mr. uh, Casey. My van just died out there. It needs a full overhaul, it'll be at least a weeks work for you. Oh, and have you seen this woman? *he pulled a picture out of his jacket pocket and showed the man*

Casey: Hey, yeah, kinda looks like that psycho-cannibal they've been showing on the news. You a cop?

Justin: I am if it gets me the info I want. Know where she is?

Casey: Hell, if I knew that, I'd be collecting my reward right now.

*kyabetsu* · 01-13-2003, 10:45 PM

kya accepted the hot mug and set it down to grip it by the handle.

Leo looked at Ves.
L; i'd offer to bring the phone in here, but it won't reach... I can help move you if you'd like.

It's clear he's quite worried about her moving alot just yet. Don's talk of blood clots has him even more edgy than he would be anyways.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-13-2003, 10:59 PM

*Don nodded and waved her on.*

*Vespera smiled at Leo.* I should be alright Leo. *She swung her legs over the edge of the bed so she was sitting on the edge.* An arm to lean on would be appreciated though. Study?

*kyabetsu* · 01-13-2003, 11:00 PM

Leo rushes right to her side.
L: yeah. the study's fine. you sure you don't wanna just be carried? it'd be simplier.

**Kali** · 01-13-2003, 11:11 PM

*Splinter set his tea cup down and looked over at Kali. He noticed she was trying to busy herself in any way she could. Avoidance. He frowned.* If you don't mind me asking, Kali, what is it that has you so depressed?

*Kali wrapped her brushes up in a paper towel.* Ha, it'd be easier to say what's NOT making me upset. I keep messing things up, and not only do my mistakes hurt me, they hurt my friends as well. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm wanted on three accounts of manslaughter. And on top of that, my boyfriend dumped me. *gear in hand, Kali moved for the exit* Now, if I answered the question, I have a mural to get back to.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-14-2003, 12:52 PM

*Vespera considered. She knew she COULD walk there with no troubles, she'd been up for a shower already with no problems, but he seemed really reluctant to let her get back on her two feet. She glanced at Don. He didn't meet her eyes. Right. The doctor is staying out of this one. She decided for the middle road.* Well, I don't want to cause you any more trouble... Your home, so you're the boss. *She reached out her arms towards him.*

*kyabetsu* · 01-14-2003, 01:11 PM

Leo eyes took on a relieved light. He was worried about her, though he logically KNEW she was probably okay to walk with a little help, it felt better to be DOING something for her. He scooped her up carefully, cradling her close to his chest. He watched her face to make sure he wasn't hurting her.

L: comfortable?
L: (internal) yeah... it's a bit late to be a perfect boyfirend NOW...

Trying to keep from holding her too tightly, Leo walked slowly out of the room.

Kya watched them leave the room before she turned back to Don. With a solemn expression on her face, she crossed her eyes and stuck the strawberry "tongue" out at him.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-14-2003, 01:28 PM

*Vespera relaxed back into his arms. She was comfortable here. It felt safe. She knew she was in need of that calm. What had happened yesterday weighed on her, and she knew that it would be a while before she came completely to terms with it. The big part now was keeping it from eating away at her. They entered the study, and she smiled as he deposited her in the chair. She gestured for him to stay, and reached for the phone.*

Hi... Kevin? Yeah its me.... *burst of yelling on the other end.* Whoa.. hold on, SHADDAP FOR A SECOND! Sorry I missed last night... I got jumped by my boyfriends ex. *The yelling stops and she listens for a minute* No, I'm fine... I look like I came out second in a prize fight, so I won't be able to work for a couple of weeks, but nothing broken..... thats sweet Kevin, really, but you don't need to call out the boys. Its been taken care of. My boyfriend and his brothers took care of it... problem solved. *Pause and she laughed* Honest! Its ok. Thanks for the time off.... yeah I know. You too. I'll keep you posted. Bye Kevin. *She hung up the phone*

Heh. The good news Leo is I just got two weeks vacation. Now to talk to dad.

*Don blinked and started as Kya stuck her tongue out at him. He got to his feet, and walked over to her, looking down. When she didn't pull it back in, he reached out and plucked the strawberry off the end, and ate it.*

*Kameko* · 01-14-2003, 02:03 PM

Kameko's eyebrows disappeared into her hair at Kali's declaration -- "I'm wanted on three accounts of manslaughter. And on top of that, my boyfriend dumped me."

~Geezum crichey... eh, don't say anything, don't make a deal out of it.... crap! Raph really did dump her?!? Geez... And WHAT is with that OUTFIT??~

Kameko decided to leave this to Splinter. She felt like she was eavesdropping anyway. Taking a mug of tea -- and she still hadn't really found anything to eat -- she headed out into the garage in search of something to keep her occupied.

*kyabetsu* · 01-14-2003, 02:04 PM

Leo tensed when the voice on the end of the line started yelling at her. NOBODY talked to Vespera that way-- her shouts startled him and he stared at her for a split second before the voice on the phone quieted. He relaxed as she explained, but tensed again as she continued.

L: (internal) me and my brothers TOOK care of things, huh?... sh1t. not soon enough.

He counted her bruises while she spoke, but gave up because they all seemed to run together. She was talking to him now.

L: two weeks? wow.
He didn't know what to tell her about her dad, so he looked for an unbruised patch on her thigh and gave it a gentle, reassuring squeeze.

Kya blinked in surprise.
Kya (smile ruining the scolding) i was gonna EAT that!!

Raph looked up as the garage door opened.
R: whadda you want?
The tire patching was not going smoothly.

*Kameko* · 01-14-2003, 02:12 PM

She looked at Raph, and the mess of a tire, and cocked an eyebrow.

"Rough day?"
