RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 231

*kyabetsu* · 11-16-2002, 11:58 PM

Leo chuckled
L: Scare tactics. All that proves is that you're good at shuffling.... For the first month raph had his Sais, he got REAL good at drawing 'em and putting 'em up. But it you asked him to DO anything with 'em. (Leo shook his head and snagged the candy out of the air without looking) ... He'd nail you with his foot....

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-17-2002, 12:02 AM

*Vespera grinned* Live and learn Greenman. *She paused* Whats a sai?

*She waited for an answer as Leo distributed a stake to each person*

*Donatello blushed a little at Splinters open display of affection, but grinned at him as he left* I might surprise you Sensei. *After he had gone, Don found the nearest chair and collapsed into it. He looked over at Kya.* It has been one hell of a day.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-17-2002, 12:02 AM

*she smirked, setting her soup back down on the corner table.* Heh, let us play, shall we? I'm looking forward to a game where everyone's not saying i'm cheating....*Makes a face at Leo and Mike.*

*terran631* · 11-17-2002, 12:05 AM

MIke: *smirks* You DO cheat! And whats the ante? *he counted out the candy Leo gave him* And speaking of Raphael...where is he?

Kame *having exhausted every other possible place to look finally found Raphael in the garage* How's the indigestion?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-17-2002, 12:11 AM

*She gives a quick snort, counting up her ante.* Hmph, i try it ONE time, and they havent trusted me since....*She grinned at Vespy* They'd wagered on a game with me versus Raph that either they'd have to do all my chores for a month, or i'd have to do their chores, heh, as well as do something else for the rest of the game...*she grinned* Let's just say they all had a very busy month....

*kyabetsu* · 11-17-2002, 12:12 AM

Leo raised an eyeridge and thanked whatever was responsible that Raphael hadn't been in the room to hear that.
L; the three prong blade he carries. His weapon. It's called a sai. He has Two of 'em. ... I have NO idea where he is... I haven't heard anytihing break, so i figure it's safe enough...
Leo had finished dividing the candy evenly minutes earlier and now he ate the remainders leisurely.

kya averted her eyes from Splinter and Don. It was not that she was uncomfortable, but she'd been raised in a household where men, even fathers, just DID NOT show open affection to their sons. Sons were expected to learn by example what a strong man was. Daughters were the ones expected to show emotion at the drop of a hat. They were women after all....

Even though it was strange, it did make her feel better about being here with them. Her new family didn't do things better or worse than her old one, just different...

She looked up as Splinter left and watched Don collapse into the chair.
kya: De Acuerdo... ( the freverant agreement in her voice made tranlation unnecessary).

(((trans: I AGREE...)))

Raph looked up at Kameko and belched at her.
R: what indegestion, ****-head?

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-17-2002, 12:23 AM

*Vespera chuckled as she listened to Machias* Half the fun is catching people when they cheat, at least when the stakes are this small. These two have their work cut out for them. No sleeves to hide cards in.

*She riffled the cards one last time.* Alright ladies and gentlemen, the name of the game is poker. Two of three, one eyed jacks are wild. Any questions? *She was already dealing*

*Don smiled at Kya's agreement. His brain drifted back over everything that had happened today, back to Mike, and his confession in the van. *Surrepticiously he eyed Kya. She'd been fantastic today. There to help, getting exactly what he'd needed, when he needed it. He'd heard Raph snarl at her, and her calm reply. He pulled up his own feelings and reexamined them. He did like her. A lot. He didn't know how she felt, but he was just tired enough that he wanted to get everything clear. Even if she didn't like him, he didn't have the energy for worry about this anymore. He called softly* Hey Kya?

*terran631* · 11-17-2002, 12:28 AM

Mike: *wide eyed shook his head as he picked up his cards* Damn, glad I HATE this candy.

Kame: *shrugs* Wishful thinkin on my part, I guess. *pauses* Sensei's doin a lot better. He's up and eating.

*kyabetsu* · 11-17-2002, 12:31 AM

kya hadn't been thinking about anything. She was full and the emergencies had all passed. Her thoughts had strayed briefly over her imminent family reunion. The warm feeling she got from letting her thoughts touch their faces fascinated her more than anything specific. She heard Donatello call to her and she drifted away from her waking dreams almost lazily.

kya: yes, don?

Raph didn't take his eyes off the bike. He'd taken most of it appart and cleaned the old oil off, replacing and re-lubing parts as he went.
He wasn't done yet and he refused to stop now. with the engine casing off and it's insides exposed that was ASKING to get grit and dust in the engine.

R: (grunt)
that covered everything from "thanks for telling me." "it's good to know that sensei's improving." "That's a BIG relief." and the obligatory "now leave me the fvck alone." in one syllable.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-17-2002, 12:37 AM

*Don smiled a little self consciously. Now that he had her attention, this didn't seem like such a good idea. But it was too late now. I was... I was thinking. Um, you know what Mike said in the van? You know, right after we went to get him? *Of course she knows dolt, she was there!*

*terran631* · 11-17-2002, 12:42 AM

Kame: *folded her arms* Sorry...I dont speak baboon so I dont know what that meant. But, since you're busy, I'll leave you alone. *walks away muttering* Someone in this place Must speak English

*kyabetsu* · 11-17-2002, 12:46 AM

kya's daydreams were gone. They'd fallen through the trapdoor that opened right under her stomach. They must have taken her dinner and the rest of her thoughts with them, because the only insides kya was hearing from at that moment were her throat and the lump that suddenly sprang up in it. Spiralling out of the hollow space in her tummy, a tiny voice called, "SOMEONE in this van likes you a WHOLE lot."

kya: yes.

Raph didn't try to stop her anymore than he had Kali.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-17-2002, 12:56 AM

*Don didn't like the sudden stillness he saw in her face, so he dropped his eyes and studied the floor. In retrospect, this seemed like a really BAD idea. And growing more so with every passing moment. What he'd been planning on saying suddenly sounded incredibly lame to him, but his thoughts were chasing themselves around his head like butterflies on crack, and he couldn't think of anything better.* Um... *Come on. Say it. Then she can say no, or laugh at you or something, and you can go back to not caring. It'll be easier that way But... I don't want to go back to not caring. I...I want her to like me to. the voices snickered Like that will happen. You're a turtle. Not only that, you're a turtle, AND a nerd. Who in their right mind would want to like you? Face it. She hung out with you because you're safe. You weren't a threat. Just tell her, and life can get back to normal. Don closed his eyes.* Yeah... uh... he was right.

*kyabetsu* · 11-17-2002, 01:00 AM

kya shut her eyes.
Kya: Donnie?
Her voice sounded so loud to her...

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-17-2002, 01:06 AM

*Don kept his eyes shut. He could feel his face turning purple. Here it comes.* Yes?

*kyabetsu* · 11-17-2002, 01:09 AM

kya's voice was almost painfully hopeful.
kya: please tell me you'te not just teasing me

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-17-2002, 01:18 AM

*Dons eyes flew open.* Of course I wouldn't tease you about this!

*kyabetsu* · 11-17-2002, 01:27 AM

kya's eyes were still squeezed shut. She'd put together a coherent sentence and now others just leapt out after it, completely out of her control.
Kya: 'cause i was mad when i thought mike was just teasing me, but i could handle that. I don't think -- i mean-- you. I trust-- Don. you're my best friend, donnie. i promise i'll believe you but.... just please tell me you're serious.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-17-2002, 01:35 AM

*Don scooted his chair the six inches closer it needed to be. He didn't say anything yet. The comment You're my best friend Donnie. had kinda thrown him. He thought about it. She was right. She was his best friend, and he'd known her for all of a week. Slowly, he reached out and hesitantly, he took her hand, ready to pull back if she showed any sign that she didn't want this.* I'm serious.

*kyabetsu* · 11-17-2002, 01:45 AM

kya's features relaxed. Her shoulders unwound and while she was still tensed enough to shake just a little, she trusted donnie. She had no idea WHY he picked her, or WHAT he thought he saw in her, but that did not matter right now, beacuse he was holding her hand.

kya: (opening her eyes) Donnie i... (she trailed off. she had no idea what to say)
