RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 255

*kyabetsu* · 11-22-2002, 11:29 PM

Kya(absorbed in delciately taping the gauze down.) Um... almost done with her OPEN wound, but I wanna check out her knuckles just yet--

kameko immediately protested.
KAM: LEO taped those up LAST night. THEY're FINE.

kya

noddiing at that. and in a tone completely free of irony) I'm sure your brother knew exactly what he was doing. So there! it's done. (she stood back and shooed Machias out of the kitchen.) I'll clean up and be in the dojo in a few minutes.... Promise.

She was already washing her hands in the sink. Kameko wordlessly started tranferring dirty swabs, bandaids and paper towels to the trashcan.

Only after Machias left did she mumble an unsure, "thank you." She left directly after.

Kya said, "you're welcome" to any emptry room.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-22-2002, 11:38 PM

Leo: Hey Raph!! Rise and shine. Time for practice.

*Don enetered the dojo to start his warm up.* Hey Leo, I still dont want Splinter to over exert himself. You got practice this morning?

L: Sure

D: Great. Splinter will be here to supervise shortly, but he shouldn't participate yet

L: *internal* Great....

**Machias Banshee** · 11-22-2002, 11:38 PM

Thanks Kya...

*Machias chuckled after her bouncing from the kitchen, and headed down the hall to the dojo. She paused at the doorway and started automatically bowing, but quickly stopped herself. She sighed and walked in, her gaze down at the floor, and cleared her throat.*

Leo...? Kya just wanted me to tell you that she'll be coming, albeit a bit close to the starting time...*She looked up and saw Don standing there, as well as the sleeping turtle at their feet, and decided to turn and head to the study before questions were asked...*

*kyabetsu* · 11-22-2002, 11:45 PM

Raphael flopped out of his blanket and wadding it into something that could charitably been called "kinda folded," he dragged it and himself to the linen closet. He returned a few seconds later CONCENTRATING on ignoring Kameko who followed at his heels. She had tried to hide the glaring white bandage on her forehead with her bandana but the gauze was still very much evident.

Kya came scooting in a moment after and placed her carry-all to the side of the gym before beginning her stretches.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-22-2002, 11:53 PM

*Machias entered the study, and took a seat on the pillows in the corner.*

*Mike peeked into the study on his way to the dojo. he saw Machias sitting in the corner, eyes closed. He supressed a chuckle as he entered the dojo.*

Mike: Well, how Is everyone this morning? *gives a big grin*

*kyabetsu* · 11-22-2002, 11:57 PM

Splinter walked in past Michelangelo, gently swatting him on the shell.
Sp: Warm ups. now. I believe Leonardo will be leading practice this morning.

Splinter seated himself on a comfortable section of matting, near the wall and with a good view of the entire dojo. Settled adequately, he surveyed his students warm up. He noted to himself that Kya would need to be taught some better warming up stretches. His gaze locked onto Kameko's newly bandaged head.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-22-2002, 11:58 PM

*Splinter entered the room with a slow grace. He took a seat on the sidelines, and gestured for Leo to come over. In a quiet voice.* I would like you to start Kya on instruction of the blowgun Sempai. Otherwise, please run the practice as you see fit.

*Donatello felt muscles loosen and warm up as he worked them. The only thing keeping him going currently was the thought of uninterrupted sleep after this was done, assuming he could find a quiet corner. He was willing to settle for the corner of his lab at this point, whether or not it was completely dried out.*

L: Hai Sensei.

*Leonardo called everyone to order.* Alright, I want everyone to start with ten laps and twenty five pushups. Go! *He started his own laps around the dojo.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 12:05 AM

kya was the last one to finish jogging, but not the last to finish her pushups.

Kameko was determined to do all of them and her knuckles had quite a convincing arguement to the contrary. Stretching her hands flat almost made her eyes water.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 12:08 AM

*Mike jumped from the sudden swat, and sheepishly went to running laps. He finished those, and quickly went to his one-handed pushups...*

*Machias's face grew more tense, her brow furrowed. Her eyes snapped back open, and she groaned.*

~Never could meditate to the astral plane in human form...Guess its time to just wander the lair....~

*She closed her eyes, allowing her astral form to rise and wander the lair...*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-23-2002, 12:20 AM

*Leonardo ran through the practice quickly and efficiently. It wasn't the longest morning practice, but it was still a good work out. While everyone else worked on drill as Splinter looked on, he had Kya go and bring her blow gun out for her first practice. He explained the basics of how the weapon worked, and how to wrap the needles used in it with wadding so they worked correctly. They practiced on the target, and Leo was impressed with her hand eye coordination. Most people barely managed not to inhaloe the darts on their first try, and here Kya was, hitting the targets consistently*

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 12:25 AM

*Unfortunately, her astral form did not get far. In frustration, she opened her eyes and stood up. there was no way she was going to be able to concentrate now. With a defeated sigh, she exited the study, and quietly made her way to the dojo, carefully watching from the doorway...*

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 12:30 AM

Kameko wiped the back of her neck with a towel and hurried from the dojo before Raph or Sensei or Leo or Kya could say ANYTHING to her. She snagged a bottle of wood glue from the garage and vowed that she would not leave her room until the dresser was dry.

kameko(internal) or i have to pee..

kya was thrilled with her new weapon. She put it away and caught up with Donatello on his way out of the dojo
Kya (nattering happily) I'm still not too sure about aiming at a target from mouth level. But it's SO light weight and there's NO KICK. Target practice without padded shirts! That's CRAZY Don... (she smiled up at him) So how is Splinter anyways? He looks so much more relaxed this morning. Has all the trouble passed?

Raph hit the showers to work the last of the soreness from sleeping on the floor out of his muscles and the sweat off his skin. Towelling off, he realized that, even after haviing eaten enough for a family of 6 at dinner last night, he was hungry again.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 12:37 AM

*Machias slowly approached the door after most of them had left. She leaned on the doorframe, watching siletly.*

*Mike saw her and walked over, towel around his neck.*
Mike: Hey...*flashes a smile* how did your Meditation go?

Uh...*glances at Splinter then back to him* I've been standing here for a good while, actually...I couldnt concentrate. Human mind's not focused enough alone...

Mike: Hmm...well, I'm gonna hit the showers, then i'll meet up with you, how about that?

Okay...*He kissed her cheek, and left her in the room...*

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-23-2002, 12:38 AM

*Donatello grinned at Kya's enthusiasm. He had barely made it through practice. He had troubles keeping his eyes open at this point. As they walked the halls* For now, I'd say yes, but I dont know about all of it... I'd need to run more tests. Right now, I think I'm going to go curl up in the corner of my lab for about 2 or 3 hrs and sleep.... it was a long night.

*Leonardo watched the others leave the dojo. It had been a good practice, a hard work out, followed by a good cooldown. He moved over to where Splinter was sitting and observing.* How do you feel sensei?

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 12:46 AM

kya looked apalled at the idea of sleeping in the lab.
Kya: the lab?... but it's COLD and DAMP down there... you'll catch your death! (she shook her head and without a hint of innuendo made a different suggestion) I"m gonna be in the kitchen ALL MORNING. You can have my room. You'll have a REAL mattress AND a door to shut the noise out. (she nodded like the issue was closed.)

Raph stuck his head in the fridge.
R: old fruit. ****..... oh well... there's that halloween candy in the pantry...
Leo lost fully half of his winnings before raphael found a bag of microwavable popcorn.

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 12:51 AM

*Mike walked to the shower once again...*

*Machias looked around the room a little bit before seeing tht Leo and Splinter were the only ones still in the room. She contemplated either blitzing from the room before they could see her, or staying still so they wouldnt notice any sort of movement...*

~I'm supposed to be in the study, meditating, but i couldnt concentrate....~

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-23-2002, 12:54 AM

Sp: I am fine my son. *the empahsis on fine made it clear he felt he'd answered that question too many times already. I'll be in my room if anyone needs to see me.

*He left the room, and nodded to Machias as he passed her.*

*Leonardo nodded.* Hai Sensei. I'll be in here for a while longer. I enjoy teaching, but there isn't enough time to work on what I feel needs to be done. *He watched Splinter leave for his room before beginning his own work out. Teaching was well and good, but it didn't raise a sweat like he wanted to. Right now he was looking for something to relieve the tension he felt, and working out against the speed and heavy bags seemed just the thing.*

*Donatello considered arguing. He even had a few of his arguements lined up. But the more he thought about it, the more the idea of sleep on a matress, where it was quiet, and no one would find him appealed.* You wouldn't mind Kya?

**Machias Banshee** · 11-23-2002, 01:00 AM

*Machias nodded slightly, noticing the look on his face.*

~He's getting frustrated about something....~

*She watched Leo silently as he worked out with the bags, leaning against the wall.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-23-2002, 01:01 AM

kya just smiled and assured him
Kya: I would never have offered if it bothered me, Donatello. the room is yours until late afternoon. Then i need some privacy okay?

raph propped his feet up on a kitchen chair and wondered idly why kya hadn't made breakfast.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-23-2002, 01:06 AM

*Splinter entered his room and settled down to meditate.*

*Leonardo felt good with the work out. He sensed Machias watching him, but decided he really didnt care. He could guess which of his brothers had done the tampon thing, and just as sheer release he imagined his face on the heavy bag. To give it balance, he put Raph's on the speed bag.*

*Donatello smiled, but it broke off into a huge yawn which he covered with no little embarassement.* Then, thank you Kya, and I'm going to sleep. Good night. Or is it morning? *He glanced both ways down the hall and seeing that they were alone he took her hand and pulled it to his lips. A side part of his brain wondered if he should do this exhausted more often as it played merry hell with his inhibitions.* Good night fair lady.
