RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 201

**Machias Banshee** · 11-12-2002, 10:58 PM

*She blinked at his harshness, and her eyeridges drew up.*

Okay, I'll leave you alone...gotta go find Splinter anyways....I'll see you later then...

*She turned back to the door, glancing at him worriedly as she left the room...*

*kyabetsu* · 11-12-2002, 11:06 PM

kya's face was wide-eyed.
kya: No.. you don't understand. that's TRADITIONAL, but hardly something I would want to achieve in our home. I just wanted permission to FEAST you all. and maybe invite Vespera over. I'd be happy with a nice dinner and some funny masks. if the radio came on at some point, that would surpass my expectations. It's a carnival holiday, but i'm only one person. I can't organize a carnival in a day and a half.... when you consider the secular half of the holiday, please, think all day baking, some paper masks and Vespera as a guest. ... is that ok?... i mean to THINK about...?

Kya bobbed her head with a grin,
kya: I only wanted to see my family. anything else would just have been nice. I promise i won't badger you about it. I'm already SO HAPPY. thank you.

Raph held his breath.
Raph (internal) i can't do it again... please, don't make me do it again....
Raph(his voice husky) that's why i'm here. privacy.

*terran631* · 11-12-2002, 11:14 PM

SP: *nods* Very well...I shall have my decision by the end of tonight. I do not foresee a problem with a family "feast" as you say. For now, let us say the matter is in deliberation. *he stands and goes to a drawer pulling a small case from it. He sits down and sets the case next to him* Kya...I wish to give you something. Something special, but before I do that, I must ask you some things. If ever I stray into uncomfortable territory I give you the option of saying so and I will end the discussion. *he takes a breath* Have you thought about or considered contacting your brother at any point? You mentioned the possibility once, but have said nothing about it since,

*kyabetsu* · 11-12-2002, 11:20 PM

kya did not hesitate.
kya: Beto is my brother. Of course i will speak with him again. (she faltered, a panicked look flickered across her features. she continued more quietly) I tried to think of that today too. I have no idea how to tell him the truth or when I will find the courage to call him. (she pinched her lips a moment) but I have to. he's my family too.

**Kali** · 11-12-2002, 11:20 PM

Oh. *pause* I guess you want to be alone then... *starts to stand up*

*terran631* · 11-12-2002, 11:25 PM

SP: *looks at her curiously* Tell me about Beto. What is he like?

Mike: *starts to punch at the bag again and nearly screams in pain* Dammit! Stupid hand. *he unwraps it carefully and finds that it is once again starting to swell. He closes his eyes and wraps it back up.* SO..do I go tell Splinter who will tell me what an idiot I am..or Donnie..who probably wont say much at all...? *heads to the basement*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-12-2002, 11:33 PM

*Seeing that Splinter's door was still closed, Machias walked into her room, picking up her sketchbook. She turned back to the family portrait. She looked at it carefully, and picked up her pencil.*

~Time to start fixing things....~

*She held her book close to her, and with a small smile, headed to the living room...*

*kyabetsu* · 11-12-2002, 11:50 PM

the word slid through Raphael's walls before he could help it.
R: ...NO....

kya's eyes travelled inward.
Kya: Raphael reminds me of him a great deal: that same Machismo... Beto is Proud and strong. He was the eldest, and the first born son. He felt responsible for all of us. but it's just me now.... He's taller than me. but has the same eyes. and he works as a mechanic in a garage that specializes in high-end foriegn car repair. He is a good provider. Mom and I never wanted for anything. He's very determined and very traditional. He never expected anything from me except a clean home, hot meals, and respectful obedience. He never disciplined me unless i deserved it. I miss him so much, but I know he'll never approve of you all... not that you aren't all wonderful, but that i DARED to run away and become ADOPTED when he's still my guardian. I don't know what he'll do... i almost don't wanna call at all.... but THAT"S WRONG...

she trailed off. she wasn't crying, but she'd become very quiet.

**Kali** · 11-12-2002, 11:58 PM

*Kali stood but didn't move* Raph... I want to be with you right now, but if you're still upset with me... I'll understand.

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 12:04 AM

SP: *stands up and pours a glass of tea which he hands to her and begins gently* Kya..this family..will do whatever is necesarry to help Beto adjust to the circumstances. This family..also protects its own. That is part of our tradition. Beto sounds as if he is a strong and capable person. I am sure we can get him to see reason.

*kyabetsu* · 11-13-2002, 12:05 AM

raph felt so draggingly tired. she was back. he'd pushed her away as hard as he could and she came back. TWICE.
Raph(internal) first lunch. now, NOW. how many times do i need to do this to prove that she wants to be here...? what the fvck right do i have to keep pushin' her away anyways. that's not what I want. it's obviously not what she wants...
Raph: ...fvck...
He reached out and roughly pulled her to himself.
Raph: can't push anymore. stay. please stay.... i'm an ass but you know that. just STAY.

kya stared into her lap.
kya: i know i listed strong and capable. but i don't think reasonable was on the list of Beto's attributes. in fact i'd say that STUBBORN and PROUD should be added a few more times-- Splinter. I KNOW that Beto will not like this. and i DON't want anything ... bad to happen to him... HE"S my FAMILY too....

she was pale and a bit shaky.

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 12:18 AM

SP: *calmly* An unreasonable person can often be reasoned with giving the right circumstances. I have dealt with Raphael all his life. However, Kya...and you do not have to say anything more about this if you do not want to. You say that he will be angry about you being here. There may come a day when you are forced to choose. Do you wish to make him happy and return to your previous life or remain here..with us. Remember though...the choice is always yours and no one elses. Do what is right for yourself, Kya. *he sighs* To that end..I have a present for you. My sons were very far along in their training before they touched any weapons...but you are unique and this is yours. *he hands her the case*

**Kali** · 11-13-2002, 12:26 AM

*Kali returned Raphael's tight embrace. It was so comforting to be back in his arms again* I can deal with an ass, if you can deal with a monster... *she buried her face against his neck*

*kyabetsu* · 11-13-2002, 12:27 AM

she slowly reached across the table and sliding the case in front of herself, she opened it. she ran her fingers over the black bamboo pipe and let them linger over the feather-tufted spines in their own compartment. She looked up with wide eyes.

kya: a blowgun?... mine? ... you mean not on loan, but for me?... (the eyes that stayed dry through everything else they'd discussed began to water a bit... she wiped them dry and that was the end of her water works.)

Kya: (quietly, sincerely) thank you...

Raphael couldn't speak. she was back.

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 12:33 AM

SP: *nods* You are very welcome. The shuriken are one thing, but they are quite awkward and dangerous to carry. The blow gun has the same principle but is more convient. *he took one of the darts carefully from the case* The tips are often coated with some sort of chemical. A sedative or a poison. Most are usually extremely fast acting. But this weapon is suited to your strengths and talents. Bring it with you to morning practices. You must still learn the basics..the katas..the hand-to-hand..*he returned the dart* But you will master this.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 12:36 AM

*Machias made it to the living room, and took a seat by the window, smiling at the sunlight. The perfect drawing light. She opened her book again, and began to put the fianl pieces of the picture together...*

*kyabetsu* · 11-13-2002, 12:41 AM

Her smile was back, full force. Shakier and a trifle sad for brief moments, but she was definitely happy.

Kya; (couldn't repeat herself enough) thank you. yes. I will bring it. thank you...

she stood and excusing herself, she raced from the room. she stumbled across kamita, machias,and leo in the living room. Kamita was cheating at solitaire. Leo was deep in his novel. and Machias was drawing something in a sketch book in the window seat.

Kya: KAMITA!! Guess what!!

**Machias Banshee** · 11-13-2002, 12:45 AM

*She nearly fell out of her chair from the loud excitement from Kya. She looked over, seeing the giant smile engulfing her friend's face. She set her pencil down, and walked over to her...*

what's going on, Kya?

*kyabetsu* · 11-13-2002, 12:46 AM

Kya: SPLINTER SAID MY FAMILY COULD VISIT AND HE GAVE ME A WEAPON!!!

*terran631* · 11-13-2002, 12:46 AM

*Kame jumped and the cards she was holding went flying* What Kya!!? What's wrong?
