RPG: DIA DE LOS MUERTOS -->CONTINUATION WEEK from HELL & - Page 158

**Kali** · 01-22-2003, 10:11 PM

*A sad glint washed over Kali's eyes.* Hopefully. *she suddenly started and moved aside.* I'm sorry. You probably want to relax from your trip.

**Machias Banshee** · 01-22-2003, 10:19 PM

yeah...I'm itchy all over, and my clothes reek like heck...

*terran631* · 01-22-2003, 10:19 PM

((yeh that chat is not being my friend tonite and AOL is locked on me. I have to reboot my comp and I'll be back))

*Kameko* · 01-23-2003, 02:00 PM

((((This thread has gotten so SLOW!

And that reminds me -- Kya, V-Blaze, Ren, You guys still alive out there???

))))

Renee · 01-25-2003, 07:55 AM

((Gads, time flies. And yeah, Kame, I'm still here. Sorry, but I've been real sick for a while. I can't come on tonight cause I'm working ('least not till 10 or so), but I'll definately be on tomorrow.))

*kyabetsu* · 01-25-2003, 03:27 PM

(((....(hangs her head)... i been a baaaaaaaaad gamer. sorry!! sorry!! sorry!!)))

Raph grunted and went about patching the tire.
R: if i just took the keys, Mike woulda hot-wired the bike. 'sides. it was quicker ta slash the tire. not like i had a lotta time ta go huntin' down the spare set'a keys.

He finished and smirked.
R: now hold it like that fer a few hours.

He was on his way to the work bench, cleaning the adhensive off his hands w/ turpentine and a rag. He was lookin for some clamps.

Leo sighed. He did want to hold Ves, but that knock at the door probably saved him from having to explain anything. He held her a bit longer. God, he was gonna miss doing that. He collected himself and let her go.

L: we should probably go see who that is.

He moved to pick her up again and carry her back to the infirmary.

Kya smiled he was blushing again.
kya: (internal) big turtle man all shy about bein' hand fed.
She thought the idea was funny though, and wasn't gonna let him feed himself. She picked up a chocolate covered one and held it up to him.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-25-2003, 03:55 PM

*Vespera shook her head slightly, but allowed herself to be lifted up. They were headed to the infirmirary.* I thought we were going to go see who that was? *They turned a corner to see Machias in the hallway* Machias! You're home!

*Don managed to conquer his blushes a bit, and offered her another strawberry. Swallows his mouthful of fruit.* So you ARE feeling better, right Kya?

*kyabetsu* · 01-25-2003, 04:01 PM

L: i'll see who it was as soon as you're settled.
He blinked in surprise.
L: Machias! Welcome back.

kya took the strawberry from his hand with her own, more on reflex than because she didn't want to be fed.
Kya: i'm fine, don.

**Machias Banshee** · 01-25-2003, 04:02 PM

*Machias heard Vespera's and Leo's voices, and gave a quick smile.*

Hi...yeah, i'm back....*pulls on her coat slightly. God, she felt strange...* I'm actually about to go take a much needed shower, but I'll talk to everyone on the way back, if thats okay....

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-25-2003, 04:15 PM

*Don sighed.* Thats just it. You shouldn't be "fine" after something like that happens. *He shook his head.* Nevermind. We can worry about it later.

*He took another strawberry, and popped it into his mouth, flirtation forgotten*

*Vespera watched Machias head up the hallway towards the bathroom.* Right Machias, talk to ya when you're done.

*She nestled back in Leo's arms, and spoke quietly to him* When things calm down a bit around here, after Machias gets settled in again Leo, can we find someplace private to talk?

*kyabetsu* · 01-25-2003, 04:20 PM

Leo shut his eyes briefly. He knew it was coming. he answered her with a lead weight in his stomach.
L: (quietly) yeah, Ves, of course.

He carried her towards the infirmary.

kya frowned a little at a plain strawberry.
kya: (low voice) ...but i do feel better then i did... and that's okay, right?

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-25-2003, 04:37 PM

*Vespera felt his muscles tense slightly when she asked for a private chat, and his tone when he answered her was carefully devoid of emotion. All of it just confirmed in her head that there was something horribly wrong. She lay her head against his shoulder, and didn't speak as he carried her back to the infirmirary. What did she do to your head Leo? What did that witch make you dream that has you so rattled? They entered the infirmirary and he set her down carefully on the cot.* Thanks for the help Leo.

*Don smiled at her, but it was kind of sad too.* Feeling better than you did is good, but being fine? I don't think anyone else is "fine" with what happened yesterday. Probably won't be for a long while. *He captured her uninjured hand, and just held it.* Kya, it drives me to distraction when you're not happy. But, I can't accept straight out denial either. Forgetting about it doesn't make it go away. *His voice drops.* I want to help Kya. Please, don't shut me out? *He hadn't meant for the last bit to sound like a question, but it did anyways. He ignored Leo and Ves as they entered the infirmirary.*

*kyabetsu* · 01-25-2003, 04:58 PM

Kya shook her head.
Kya: (whisper) no don. i won't.
Her eyes were on Leo and Ves as they entered the room. Leo set Vespera gently on the cot.

Leo: there. comfy?

**Machias Banshee** · 01-25-2003, 05:08 PM

*Machias waved to Leo and V, and then uttered a quick "see you later" to Kali, before going deciding to first go into her own room. She closed the door behind her, and dropped her bags onto the bed.*

God, I'm so worn out right now, I'll be glad just to get--

*Her voice froze as she unzipped her jacket, and she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her jacket opened to reveal a neverending wall of red. Smeared blood clung to her cothes, and the smell that suddenly wafted up to her nose almost made her gag. She ripped her jacket off as quickly as possible, her heart skiping as she saw more and more blood on her clothing. She pulled at the neck of the turltleneck to take it off, when she felt something strange. with her fingertips, she pulled on the flesh that sat on the front of her chest and neck, and began to pull upward. She gasped as she saw the blue reptilian flesh underneath...*

No.....no....no.......

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-25-2003, 05:11 PM

*Donatello squeezed her hand gently, and let go. There was nothing else he could really ask for. He turned to Leo and Ves.* Phone calls done?

*Vespera smiled at Leo, but it was just slightly distracted.* Yes. Thank you love. *She relaxed back onto the cot, worming her legs under the blankets.* Phone calls are done for now Don.

**Machias Banshee** · 01-25-2003, 05:24 PM

*She threw the mask and gloves down to the floor, looking at the raptor head that sat upon her human shoulders in dismay...*

Wait, if my head's changed...*She quickly unzipped her jeans, moaning in dismay as she saw the two straps. She quickly unbottoned them, and reachened down behind her, finally feeling what had been bugging her ever since she'd returned to the lair. She took the tip and pulled, continuing until her whole tail showed again, and threw it with the mask, before she quickly rezipped her jeans. She pulled the turtleneck off and looked at it in angry horror.*

Dammit, what the hell happened?! I didnt change into those...i would have known if--*She dropped to her knees shaking, and held her face in her blue hands, stained by the blood of the unknown innocents.....*

*kyabetsu* · 01-25-2003, 07:23 PM

Leo considered his options. Machias was home. Vespera wanted to talk. His head was a mess. He could stay here and fret until Machias came out of her shower, or he could go and try to pull himself together before things got hectic again.

Leo rested his fingers on Ves' cheek lightly.
L; i think i need some time to think okay?
He looked to his brother.
L: it'll be okay if i leave you all for a bit, right?
Kya: (watching him go) i'll come find you if something happens.
L; thanks.

Taking silence for assent, Leo kissed her forehead gently and slipped out of the room. He headed down the hallway, and feeling only a twinge of guilt, picked the lock on his bedroom door. it was dusty and stale smelling. He wanted privacy, so leaving it open was right out, but he lit up some incense and knelt on the floor, seeking the calm of meditation.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-25-2003, 11:05 PM

*Vespera smiled at Leo, but she was lost in her own thoughts again, trying to think what could be wrong. She watched him slip out of the room, and leaned back to stare at the ceiling.*

*Donatello stifled a yawn, and puttered around the infirmirary. He stared at the futon matress on the floor, and considered if it was worth the effort to move it into his room now. He hefted one corner, and decided that no, it really wasn't. He had a sheaf of papers that needed sorting, and instead sat on it to work. Within five minutes, he was curled up on one end of the mattress, papers scattered around him, and fast asleep.*

*kyabetsu* · 01-26-2003, 07:58 PM

kya had kept quiet for a bit. watching Don sort papers and trying to sort out the confused jumble in her head. She wasn't fine. He'd been right about that. The more she thought about it though, the more she DID want time to herself. Somewhere that she'd be safe. Somewhere she could hide for a while. Maybe light some candles. She hadn't been to church in what felt like years. She couldn't go now, but she had a next best thing in mind. Sure, it'd be a bit freaky getting back there. Easpecially since she couldn't very well ask someone to come with her if she wanted to be alone when she got there... but there was no way that Venus or anything else bad to get to her in there. the opening was far too narrow. She'd be out of the way. and ...

She looked up. Donatello was sound asleep. She smiled and scrawled a quick note. The look on Vespera's face was sort of out of it. She didn't want to make a big fuss. she took her bag and slipped out of the room.

The note sat on the Ves' bed side table.

***NOTE***

Went to the grotto in the back caves. have bag. just need some quiet. come and get me for dinner.

Love,
Kyabetsu

*****

She made it to her grotto w/out incident and squeezed through the crack in the wall. once there, she lit some candles and lost herself in prayer.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-26-2003, 08:05 PM

*Kya put something on her bedside table, but Vespera didn't look over at it. She stared at the ceiling as if it held the answers, but it didn't tell her a thing. She KNEW something was wrong, but she had no idea what it could be. With a sigh, she looked around. Kya was long gone, and Don was passed out on the mattress pad in the corner. Vespera got to her feet, and slipped out of the infirmirary. She could smell sandlewood and cinnamon incense. She followed it to a bedroom door. She knew those were Leonardo's favorites. Quietly, she opened the door, and slipped inside, shutting it behind herself.*
