Kya smiled happily as his lips found her hand, but he looked dead on his feet and she wasn't going to have him toppling over out here in the hallway. She reached past him and opening the door to her room, ushered him in.
Kya: Ten suenos dulces, Caballero Tortugado. She caught his hand and ran her thumb lightly over his knuckles. She gave it a final squeeze before she stepped back into the hallway and shut the door gently behind her. (((TRANs: Sweet Dreams, Sir Turtle.))) Raphael looked up at the sound of someone humming. Kya had her headphones on, a ridiculuous grin on her face, and had just swung round the doorframe into the kitchen. He just watched as she threw her carry-all onto the countertop and bobbing to a rhythm he could only just hear, pulled an apron and several hair claws from her bag. kya: (singing quietly to herself.) ...Listen babe, I got somethin' to say. I got no car and it's breakin' my heart but i found a driver and THAT"S a START... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP YEAAAAH.... Kya threw the apron over her head and tied it as tight as it would go. Dancing lightly, her eyes shut, all her attention 5,000 miles away, she piled all her curly hair on top of her head and clamped it down with the hair claws. Kya(still happily singing) Baby you can drive my car! Yes, I'm gonna be a STAR!... She turned to get a good look at the kitchen and lay out her battle plans and nearly jumped out of her skin when her gaze caught Raphael lounging at the table. Raph had long since finished his popcorn, but he'd been quietly snickering at the floor show and saw no reason to leave. Kya (removing her headphones with what dignity she could muster and blushing) Good Morning Raphael. R: (laughing eyes) mornin. kya (encouraged by the vaguely civil answer, starts pulling out pots, pans knives, skillets, etc) ...What do you have planned for today, Rojito? R: (opened his mouth to tell her it was none of her fvckin' business when the truth of the matter hit him like a load of bricks.) ... not a goddamn thing.... Kya: ... well if you wanted to, you could always help me in here.... R(standing abruptly) no fvckin way. i don't cook. (he heads for the doorway) Kya: (looking at his retreating back, calls after him) I wasn't going to ask you to COOK, Raph. (she pulled a load of glinting knives from the carry-all and laid them on the table with a clatter) I was hoping you'd help me slice and dice...? R: (gaze lingering on the cutlery) ... i got better **** ta do than chop vegetables. kya wordlessly pulled out a chopping block and laid a large bloody chunk of cow across it. Raph turned back around in spite of himself. Kya: not vegetables. I don't need you breaking my paring knives. I was hoping you'd help me BUTCHER some stuff. (taking his silence as an assent, kya spoke again) Oh, before you get your hands all bloody, why don't you get us some CD's or something. I'm not much of talker when i'm cooking, but i like to listen to somethin... Raph nodded slowly and went to the livingroom where the stereo system and the common property CD's were kept. kya was hip deep in cookery when he got back. Without asking her musical preferences, he put on a CD of his choice: Blur, Greenday, Weezer, and Fatboy Slim on one of Mike's old Mix CDS. Raph hefted a cleaver and with little regard for the mess he made, dismantled the the side of beef... |

*Donatello watched the door shut, and smiled. He hit the lights, took the three steps to the bed, remembering to step around the altar, and flopped. He thought vaguely about getting under the covers when sleep reached out and claimed him.* zzzzz
*Leonardo felt the sweat start to pour from his pores, and turned it up a notch. He moved a shade faster, hit a little bit harder. THWACKthackTHWACKthudTHWACKthwack. It could have been worse. Ves could have still been here and seen that. At least Kya was trying to save me the embarrassment of wandering around with that for much longer. I'll have to do something for Mike. Soon. THWACKspinTHUD. And what were they talking about last night? Last I knew Raph had called her those things... The next day she's having a conversation with him like nothing happened? A good conversation. I just don't get how she does that.. He was breathing hard now, but it felt good. His knuckles stung a bit, as well as the bottoms of his feet, and he thought about calling it quits. Nah... Not yet*

kya sprawled in a kitchen chair. the entire lair smelt heavenly, and it was only 2pm...
kya (listing her accomplishments aloud): shortbread cookies, chocolate chip, bodas, deadbread, bunuellos, sopapillas, flan.... the last batch of tamales are steaming, fried up all the empanadas, the swordfish is marinating, vegeatbles are ready for steaming... all that's left is the candy skulls... but a BREAK first... Raphael had left the kitchen maybe two hours ago. They hadn't really talked much, but Kya had been surprised he'd stayed as long as he had... she popped another grape in her mouth and willed the kitchen to clean itself before she started playing with the sugar sculptures. |

*Don pulled himself upright in the darkened room, confused. Where was he? It wasn't his room, not the dojo... Memory returned in a rush and he lay back down. Kya's room. He sat bolt upright. Kya's Room! He felt much better for the sleep and was ready to face everyone again. He slid out of the bed, and pulled the wrinkles out of the coverlet before leaving the room. The smells hit him like a wall, and his stomach growled loudly in protest. No breakfast, and then being assaulted by this? He had to go find the kitchen. Now.*
*Leonardo put his book down and wandered out into the kitchen. He'd made a move to get his chores done and clean three times, and all three of them Kya had chased him from the room. Now he was just looking for something to nibble on.*

kya looked over her shoulder as Leo and Don appeared in the doorway. She smiled and waved them in.
Kya: hungry?... me too. Can i make a deal with you? You can have your pick of the lot,( but don't even THINK of finishing off any one thing!) if you promise you'll help me clean up this mess before the second wave of cooking... i've run out of clean pots. If you're not keen on cleaning, you can have some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or somethin... Kya pushed herself out of her chair and snagged a toasty empanada from the basket of them. Kya: (smiling as she bit into it, she swallowed and spoke) so what'll it be? eat good and help? or grab somethin' INFERIOR and get outta the way? |

*Don and Leo glanced at each other, and the bounty infront of them. Leo headed for the sink, and Don for the tea towels. In chorus* Yes Maam.
*Vespera pulled her car infront of the house. It had taken her nearly two hours to get here. The jinx had hit hard today. Her car had started when she was six feet away from it, and would shut itself off everytime she sat in the drivers seat. It had taken some fairly grisly threats and shameless pleading with the hunk of metal before it finally behaved. She opened the trunk and pulled out two large shopping bags before slamming it. She headed for the front door, and behind her, the car radio started. It stopped when she glared over her shoulder at the car. Muttering* I really don't like country music...

kya smiled to beat all, and started pulling down plates and assembling the "sampler Platters" for their lunches.
Kya: there's a few things left: gotta steam the veggies, and broil the swordfish, but that's closer to dinner time. Wanted to try to fry some icecream for you guys, but then i remembered that whole "lactose" thing and decided that the baked Alaskan kinda thing'll only happen if there's still time after i'm done with the candy skulls.... Oh, leave the dishes for a second. Your lunches are ready and i"m gonna take a breather before i start up again, anyways. Kitchen Rule # 46 NEVER OPERATE THE TORCH WHILE TIRED. She set the plates down and served out small dishes of the various dipping sauces. Kya: what did you want to drink? |

*Leonardo pulled his hands from the water and dried them on one of the towels as Don put the last of the dishes away.*
D: Yeah I can see that, I tried welding once on no sleep. I set my mask on fire. L: That was exciting. You were so tired that you ran around yelling instead of taking it off. D: You didn't have to tell her that Leo... L: Consider it revenge for this morning. Water's fine Kya, thankyou *As they bantered back and forth they moved over to the table. Conversation stopped as they started to eat.* *Leo, with a full mouth* Woo Thish shtuf ish grea *D also with his mouth full* Fig. *Vespera came up to the front door.* Avon Calling!

*Machias had stayed for a while after Leo had left the dojo, and looked around the room for a bit. She missed the thrill of being a part of the class, but she knew that she had to work hard to gain back the privilege. She scolded her Reptilian form for causing such trouble, and shook her head.*
~Well, I can at least practice my Karate, so I'm pleased for that. I can work on Wansu...~ *She smiled slightly, and took a few steps forward. Doing the kata in the outfit she was wearing was going to be a bit difficult, but that didnt matter to her. She did the formalities, and went through the movements at a steady pace...* *Mike found himself being pulled on by the smells emanating from the kitchen, and peeked in the door.* |

kya's response lagged a moment as she translated "mouthful" to normal engish.
Kya(smiling proudly) Thank you... (she set out water glasses and sat down to eat just as Mike popped his head in and Vespera called from the door. She stood up and gesturing for Mike to have her plate, ran to go get the door.) |

*Mike stepped into the kitchen, not letting Leo see his grin. He didnt want to take Kya's plate, he didnt want to be rude. He snagged one piece of something from the plate, and stood off on the side.*
M: Man, i cant believe she cooked all this for her holiday thing...*munchmunch* |

*Vespera grinned at Kya from the other side of the screen door.* Happy Halloween! How's your day? *She walked into their home and took her shoes off, brandishing one of the shopping bags.* I come equipped with a pumpkin, but I'm going to need a carving knife to make a jack o lantern out of it....
*Both Don and Leo made short work of their own sample plates. the little pastry wrapped bundles had a surprising variety of fillings, and playing mix and match with the dipping sauces came up with some truely unique flavors.* *Leo with a slightly malicious smile* Hey Mike, how do you feel? Get enough sleep last night?

kya opened the door and waved excitedly for Vespera to come in.
Kya: Hey Vespera! Come in! The boys are in the kitchen... and a PUMPKIN?! that's great! (laughing at herself) You know, I did all that baking today and I COMPLETELY forgot about a pumpkin... They reached the kitchen in time to watch Mike raid another bit of food from kya's plate. Kya(mock stern) Michelangeloh! don't PLAY with your lunch, just EAT it.... (laughiing she took some of Vespera's parcels and cleared space on a counter top for them) Are you hungry, Vespera? I was just takiing a lunch break, if you wanted to join us... |

Leo: Good to hear. I'd hate to think your foray into fashion design last night left you short. *He was in an immensely good mood, but struggled to keep it from showing in his voice or on his face.* You know, I've been thinking about getting into accessory design myself... For example *He adopted a horrible Zsa Zsa accent* I think you would look absolutely fabulous with the salad dressing bottle accent for your tail. Fabulous dahlink! Ranch I think. Thousand Island would clash with your colouring. *By this point Leo was grinning madly and made a move towards the fridge, missing Vespera's and Kya's entrance*
*Vespera sniffed, and pretended to swoon* I thought you'd never ask Kya. Hi Leo, guys

*Kali absently flipped through the newspaper as she walked the last leg to the lair. The weirdos had come out early this year, and they even had an article devoted to her little "snack" yesterday.* Wonderful, just what I need...
*she hit the front steps and froze. She'd been so excited about today that she had totally forgot what had happened yesterday* Damnit! *she was about to turn back when the smells drew her in. She groaned as her will power collapsed and she rapped her knuckles on the doorframe.* ~Just wish everyone a Happy Halloween and maybe grab some food. Maybe I'll get very lucky and I won't run into Raph...~ |

kya looks funny at Mike.
kya: you getting MORE stuff stuck to you? (shaking her head, she pulls down two more plates--- one she resolves to EAT from, the other for Vespera.) Once that's done, she sits down and announces. Kya: LUNCH. Raph had been on his way to the kitchen, but heard the knock on the door. R kali stood in the door way. |

*Mike looked at his brothers, his blush starting to come out. He snagged the plate on the table, and stood by the door, as far from Leo as possible...*
~I'm not sleeping tonight....~ *Machias stopped to catch her breath and smiled. She was getting better, she just needed to work on her pivoting on the throw near the end, but that could be fixed later. She stretched, and headed out of the room, following the smells to the kitchen. She saw Mike standing by the door, and crwpt up behind him, and tapped his shoulder.* Hey, mind if i join? Mike: *turned his head, and smiled* Hey, where've ya been? *snags a piece from his plate* Busy.... |

*Vespera munched happily on the food. It was fantastic, and she told Kya as much.* Have you ever considered doing this for a living? You could make a killing in the catering biz with food like this. Oh! Speaking of catering... *she turned to Don. You're in charge of Splinters diet at the moment right? I had a question for you, and I figured I'd ask you first. I brought him a bottle of Merlot as a thank you for opening his home to me, but with the whole thing yesterday I'd like a second opinion.
*Leonardo chuckled and went to sit back down. He saw Vespera sliding into a chair at the table and Kya putting another couple of plates together.* Ves! I didn't hear you come in.

~That's it, the world officially HATES me!~
*Kali ran through several greetings and excuses before setting on one that he wasn't likely to get too upset by* I set my kitchen on fire. *she tried to not look in his eyes. She just started folding up the newspaper* And I figured Kya'd be cooking up a storm considering today is a holiday and all. ((Note, I actually DID manage to set at least one electric stove burned on fire last Sunday. Luckily I managed to put it out before any damage was done.)) |
