RPG: DIA DE LOS MUERTOS -->CONTINUATION WEEK from HELL & - Page 35

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 12:02 PM

MIke picked machias up by wrapping his arms around her thighs and lifting.

M: (to Machias) just lay forward over my shoulder babe.... donnie'll fix it promise. ( to Meko..) yeah.. done. you can leave. sorry for INTERRUPTING. (To machias.) okay. you keep your head down and i won't take it off on a door frame, ok?.... (stupid voice) good teamwork!

Leo considered Kali's words.
L: personally, i'll like to believe that there's always SOME measure of control that a person can exert on their own behalf. (he shrugged) I can't say i know that's true, but it makes me feel better anyways. the worst feeling in the world is helplessness...

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 12:11 PM

Yeah, whatever. I'll just go back and work myself into a coma. <snap> Bye. <foop pop>

**Kali** · 12-03-2002, 12:11 PM

*Kali nodded* Though there really is no control over what happens. The real control is in your reaction to events. You can either face things head on, flow with the current, or run away all together. *she looked sadly into her glass, then looked away. She noticed Mike's chalk grid and sketches on the wall.* What's that?

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 12:18 PM

Mike: yeah. knock yourself out ....

Leo startled at the change in topic, and leaned forward in his seat.
L: what? oh. Yeah that. Mike's doing a mural to cover up Donnie's repair work. Apparently, Don'll install bathtubs, repair plumbing, and install fresh drywall... but he draws the line at painting... Mike's all psyched though. He's being all "HYPER SECRET" about it... you know.... humming the "James Bond" theme while he works on it... the whole Mike "keeps a secret" bit....

**Kali** · 12-03-2002, 12:22 PM

*Kali laughed a bit* Mike? Keeping a secret? There's a novel idea. *she tilted her head from one side to another, trying to figure out what the picture might be* Why'd Don have to repair the wall, anyway? Flood damage?

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 12:23 PM

*steps around M & M and leaves the room, slamming her bedroom door behind her. Puts on the Eminem cd she purchased on her 'little trip' and cranks the volume on her stereo back up to it's previous level. Flops back down on the bed like before, letting her mind wander where it may.*

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 12:34 PM

Leo cursed the gods of conversation. He was back on an awkward topic. He decided to act casual.

L: Naw... Raph put a coffee table through it. (He sips his iced tea casually).

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-03-2002, 12:38 PM

*Don blushed a little as he inserted the stethescope up the back of her shirt.* Deep breath.... and again... one more, there.

*He removed the stethescope.* Interesting

((Alright, this was just a short post inbetween classes, I'm gone again indefenitely.... Kya, lemme know what Don hears.... ))

**Kali** · 12-03-2002, 12:41 PM

*Kali looked back towards Leo with a questioning look. Then down where the coffee table should have been* Ah... that would explain a few things. It's not exactly odd behavior for Raph, though. Don't suppose I wanna know why.

**Machias Banshee** · 12-03-2002, 01:00 PM

*She slowly laid foward, resting her head on his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his neck, her energy spent from tensing, her annoyance of certain individuals, and the constant wave of pain that worked down her back.*

*tired voice* Thanks Mike...

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 01:02 PM

Leo felt like he was prodding a tiger with a stick. He wasn't even sure that telling kali would be a BAD thing, necessarily...

L: (internal) i mean... i could just say, "Kali, your aunt showed up and told Raph he was scum. Then they left the kitchen so I didn't see or hear much of anything else, but Raph shouted a lot and put our table through the wall." .... uh... YEAH... she's sitting here CALMLY and just talking. I really don't know that i want to hold a match to her to find out if she's flammable.

L: oh. he was mad. i don't know exactly what lead up to it.

Leo groped desperately for a change in topic.

L: How's the kitchen? in your new apartment i mean. you said it caught fire. is it all fixed up again or do we need to farm Donnie out to you for a bit?

**Kali** · 12-03-2002, 01:10 PM

*Kali shook her head* Landlord took a look at it yesterday. Gonna fix it today. Which really means next month. But I'll just grab a camp stove or something second hand for the time being. I don't cook much anyway.

*Mike walked slowly down the hallway. He measured each step carefully to make sure he didn't jostle Machias too much. He reached the infirmary door and kicked it open gently. He grinned at Kya and Don* Um, are we interupting something?

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 01:21 PM

Leo: Well, if that's the case. You should stick around today... All the stuff that kya was making yesterday gets eaten today... apparently lunch yesterday was "just a sample"...

Leo trailed off a bit as it occurred to him that she and Raph may not be on the best of terms right now... and that her staying would doubtless lead to strife.

L: (internal) but when ISN"T there strife around here?...

L: (smiling at her) yup, you should stay.

kya looked over at the doorway and tensed a bit. Mikey was smiling though.
Kya (internal) he's not mad. Don't MAKE him mad. it's done. let it go.
She registered his question a bit late but found herself blushing a little anywas...

Kya: no.
she hopped down from the stool and moved over to the far side of the cot where machias was laying earlier.

At the sight of Machias' back coming through the door, Don filtered out his brother's comments. kya's breathing had concerned him a bit, but Machias needed immediate attention. Enigma's warnings had made him anxious to get this resovled.

Don: put her on the cot, Mike.

Don put water on to boil for sterilization and collected his tools. He wasn't in a huge rush. First the scabs had to release the strips of cotton cloth they were bound to; rushing now would only cause her more pain.

Don: kya, can you wad some towels along her sides... this may bleed a bit.

**Machias Banshee** · 12-03-2002, 01:39 PM

*She felt herself get lowered, and quickly held tight to her wet towel as she was laid on her stomach. the cool air in the infirmary made her shiver, but she knew she couldnt have a blanket, Don needed to be able to get to her wounds. She shifted uncomfortably in her wet jeans, now regretting have left them on. She moaned in her throat at Don's words, and looked up at Mike, giving a weak smile*

**Kali** · 12-03-2002, 01:43 PM

*Mike knelt down beside Machias' head, trying to keep out of Don and Kya's way. He held her hand, running his thumb over the back. He noticed how cold it was, and he could see her shivering* It's gonna be okay, sweetheart. *he grinned* I promise I'll warm you up later.

*Kali smiled at Leo* Yeah. At least until I talk to Splinter.

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 01:43 PM

kya looked at the wet mess on the cot.

Kya (surprised) you put her in the tub with her jeans on?!

**Machias Banshee** · 12-03-2002, 01:47 PM

*She gave a little smile to him, when she heard Kya's 'comment' and gave a sheepish look*

Uh...yeah...we had to have Kameko help me into the tub, and---well...*drops her head back down onto the cot* She wasnt exactly in the best mannerisms to really help us out...I'll survive in wet jeans, i have before...

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 01:58 PM

Kya shook her head and pulled a blanket from her carry-all.

Don: ... mike, machias... this is gonna TAKE TIME. We will need to keep her warm.....

He gestured for Kya to pass him the far edge of the blanket. Disregarding Mike's presence, she and Don covered machias. Don considered his options. Kya knelt down by her carry-all and began to pull out a folding panel. Don stared as the folding screen came out of the bag, narrowest width of the panels easily sliding out first, rhe tall length of the screen dissappearing impossibly into the depths of the bag. Kya pulled it clear and it stood taller than she did.

kya (to mike) help me set these up around the bed. (she was already pulling out a second one)... the jeans are wet. her skin is too. Unlike JEANS, skin gets FRAGILE when it's wet.

Don: (catching on to what kya's doing) If we try to PULL the stubborn material off her legs, we'll put stress on the wounds higher up on her back. The jeans are gonna have to be cut off....

kya

nodding) hence the privacy screens. I'll tend to it. but i'll need help to lift her off the wet pieces she's laying on.

Don moved to help Mike block off the bed from the doorway.

**Machias Banshee** · 12-03-2002, 02:08 PM

*Machias's head shot up as she heard them say "cut off" and "privacy screen", and felt her face grow hot, despite her shivering. She lowered her head back onto the table, closing her eyes.*

oh no....

**Kali** · 12-03-2002, 02:11 PM

*Mike helped shift the privacy screens into place, silently wondering why they didn't just close the door. He knew Machias loved those jeans, and would be upset that they had to be cut up. He quietly peeked around the edge of a screen* Is there anything else I can do to help?
