RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 191

**Machias Banshee** · 11-11-2002, 10:05 PM

Left home.....? *She gave Enigma an uncertain look, and frowned in thought.*

*enigma-1* · 11-11-2002, 10:08 PM

*decides to explain* Brandai is my older sister, my human one. She lived with my human father while I stayed w/ my mother. I never saw her much but she was always getting in trouble. One day she and Father got into an argument and she left home.

*sighs* That was about 10 years ago and they barely talk now. I'm surprised she even lets him see her daughter, Hale.

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

*Machias felt her stomach drop. She certainly didnt want anything like that to happen between her and Splinter...*

Uh....that's not good....

*enigma-1* · 11-11-2002, 10:13 PM

*shakes her head* Don't worry, it probably won't. You're not like Brandai. She just didn't want to live by the rules her entire life, so she took her own path.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-11-2002, 10:14 PM

*Donatello looked up at Mike, his eyes promising that any more embarassment would be taken out of his shell.* Yes?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-11-2002, 10:14 PM

~It still dont make me feel any better....~

Well, *looks down quickly* We'll see....dont think i'm gonna be doing much for a while...may as well kiss the pet goodbye too....

*enigma-1* · 11-11-2002, 10:16 PM

*smiles to her friend* Just remember this. At least Splinter cares about you, no matter what you say or do. That's more than can be said for my human father. He wasn't there for me when I needed him nor is he part of my life now. Splinter is there for you, no matter what.

*nods again, then disappears*

*kyabetsu* · 11-11-2002, 10:18 PM

kya nodded one more time before she noticed he wasn't talking to her anymore. She spun to face the form in the darkness. the flashlignt had ruined her nightvision... squinting she waited for the shadow to speak again. This time she was listening... blushing but listening.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-11-2002, 10:21 PM

*She nodded to her friend, thinking to herself.*
Hmm...swimming can wait. I gotta start off again on the right foot--and that means apologizing...*She tossed her bathingsuit into her open door, and headed back to the poolarea to return the net...*

*terran631* · 11-11-2002, 10:21 PM

Mike: *notices the "death to you" look in Donnie's eyes and turns to Kya* Kya...I'm..really sorry about upsetting you. I never would have said what I did if I was actually thinkin. *looks back at Don* And Donnie..I'm sorry I broke a promise to you. I wouldnt blame you if you never trusted me again.

*kyabetsu* · 11-11-2002, 10:30 PM

kya peered into the dark, willing her eyes to adjust.
Kya: Mike, i know you didn't mean it. you didn't have enough functional nuerons to drink cocoa. I should be the one to aplogize for overreacting.... i took offense when none was intended. I'll let it go if you do...

Kya(internal) PLEASE JUST LET IT GO MIKE... i don't wanna think about this anymore...

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-11-2002, 10:34 PM

*Donatello sighed, and carefully put Kya's foot back down so she didn't bang her heel on the floor. He tried. He really did try, and Don kept having to remind himself of that fact.* At least you apologized brother-mine. I'd say not to do it again, but you haven't been able to keep a secret since we were four, don't know why I'd expect that to change now. *He was blushing furiously, but managed to keep his voice steady, and the corner of his mouth quirked in a wry grin. Hang on a second, Kya was saying that she knew Mike didn't mean it? That wasn't what he was apologizing for....he was apologizing for upsetting her. He DID mean it. Does... that mean she's upset because she thought he was lying? Just teasing her? Does that mean it wasn't the fact that I liked her that sent her out here? She seemed happy enough to see me when she crawled out of that crevice..*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-11-2002, 10:39 PM

*Machias closed the closet door and shut off the pool lights, cosing the door behind her.*

Okay...*She wrung her hands nervously* Next stop....Splinter....

*terran631* · 11-11-2002, 10:39 PM

Mike: *shifted his feet nervously. For some reason it didnt seem like enough. He wasnt looking for them to forgive him or...coddle him. But this was Donnie not Leo and not Raph. And Kya...she wasnt one to hold a grudge either.. He nodded and sighed* Hope you feel better, Kya. *turns and walks away*

*kyabetsu* · 11-11-2002, 10:46 PM

kya's brain reeled...
kya (internal)... DON... uh... Donnie said, "you haven't been able to keep a secret since we were four, don't know why I'd expect that to change now."

She stared through the dark at the turtle at her feet....
Kya (internal)... there was a secret?...

Her eyes were drying out. she took a moment and figured out how to make them blink again. she looked back at the puddle of light at Donatello's feet. she listened to MIke retreat into the darkness.

kya(internal) just don. dark. don.
feeling phenomenally embarrassed for a neverending number of reasons, she leaned over and hastily hid her face as she uncuffed her pant leg.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-11-2002, 10:56 PM

*Don stared after his brother for a second, then down at Kya. She was unrolling her pant cuff, and kept her face turned away. Don suddenly felt his face grow hot. Well, if she didn't know before she certainly does now with that answer I gave Mike. I am such an idiot.... He got to his feet quickly, and looked at a point about six inches to the left of her foot.* Um...we should probably head back to the lair.... *He slowly offered her a hand to help her up if she wanted it*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-11-2002, 10:59 PM

*Machias walked down the hall, slowly approaching Splinter's study, her mind reeling with questions...*

~What will i say? How am i going to begin? I cant just go up to him and say "Splinter, i"m a complete ass, please forgive me"...*sigh* Im just gonna say what comes to me, and if he still stays pissed at me...

*She didnt finish her thoughts, as she knocked on the door gently...*

*terran631* · 11-11-2002, 11:00 PM

*mike wanders into the lair and for absolutely no reason that he can think of heads for the dojo. In the back of his mind he rationalizes that since he cant get to his own room, theres no where else to be alone. He notices the smell of incense and realizes Leo must be in there. Probably meditating on the secrets of life Mike steps in and sits down behind Leo and watches him quietly*

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

*Leonardo worked in silence. The dragon had long since quit offering him smokes, and a short while ago finally ran out of conversation tidbits. It felt weird after the last time he'd been there. Then the dragon had tortured him. This time it was acting like an old friend.*

Dr: That because I'm a little bit of both. Enemy and friend, parent and child, brother and lover. *The dragons image flickered through each of these statements. Shredder and Casey, An old turtle and a baby, himself and a woman with red hair before settling back to the familiar dragon form*

*****, and it can read my mind with the Cheshire cat on crack thing to*

Dr: Yup, because I'm part of your mind you twit. By the way, I'm assuming you've noticed you aren't alone?

*Leo looked out across the landscape, and could see a cloudy image of Mike on the far horizon. Yup, I saw that.*

Dr: You going to go see what he wants?

L: Maybe...

Dr: *Swelled in size suddenly and his head snaked around. His jaws were nearly six feet across, and his breath smelled of oceans and rain. He spoke again, directly infront of Leo* Let me rephrase that. Go see what he wants. Get outta here kid, ya bother me. *Leo saw the tail coming, but couldn't avoid it as it swept him up and threw him back towards consciousness*

*Leonardo opened his eyes*

*kyabetsu* · 11-11-2002, 11:14 PM

Splinter stirred from his thoughts slowly, but steadily. a deepsea diver surfacing into the sunlight of the open air. He opened his eyes and took in his study. the door. a presence there.

Splinter was ready when his daughter knocked.
Sp: Come in Machias.

Kya shouldered her carry-all, she tucked her sock into her shoe and held it in one hand. Encumbered as she was, she didn't think twice about accepting his hand. It wasn't until she was standing that it occurred to her that he was touching her. again.

Kya: (mumbled) thankyou. (she let go headed toward the lair...)

Raph was draped across the sofa. He was bored. He resolved to torment the next person to pass through the living room.
Raph: (dry laugh)(internal) lazy sadist day....
