RPG: DIA DE LOS MUERTOS -->CONTINUATION WEEK from HELL & - Page 37

SP : *sighs* Raphael...what I am about to tell you is not going to make you feel any better. Your relationship with Kali is becoming extremely complicated and neither of you know what to do about it. There will be no words that I can say to help that. However...I too was beginning to feel frustrated recently. All of you seemed to be on some sort of downward spiral that I could not do anything about. It was not until I received advice from....a very wise person that I began to realize why. You are all entering adulthood Raphael and I cannot always protect you from your mistakes anymore. Kali too is changing Raphael. A more profound change than what you are your brothers are experiencing I admit. And as much as you want to, you cannot always protect her either. Perhaps this is one problem she needs to solve on her own and that is why she left the lair.

Mike: *grins stupidly trying not to wince in tandem with her* Yoshi...ya know. Splinter's sensei. A ghost. Thought Splinter's eyes were gonna fall out for a sec there.

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 04:36 PM

*stares after the knife, and soon can see nothing else*

*pained, but not crying* Gawd, why is this happening to me....? I just wanna go home... I wanna see MY brothers and MY father again! Not these.... imposters! But there's no way home, is there? I'm trapped here.... won't ever see them again..... ever......

Machi: *tries to smile* You're kidding... Splinter must've been pretty-- *sharp breath* ...shocked....

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 04:38 PM

Raphael felt dead inside.

R; (quietly stilll not looking up) you always taught us that to walk away was to admit defeat. That a true warrior has control, in his life and in his battles. that regardless of circumstances, quitting is not an option.

Raphael stood and without looking back, paused in the doorway.

R: hypocrite.

he left.

*terran631* · 12-03-2002, 04:52 PM

SP: *clenched his fists and tried to fight back a wave of anger. He failed. Agree or disagree with his words, that didnt bother him. But he tolerated just as much disrespect from Raphael as he was going to take. With a quick stride, he followed Raphael from the study and caught up with him in a few steps. He didnt say anything and moved silently that Raphael never knew he was there. until Splinter grabbed his shoulder and tossed him against the wall. He kept one hand on his chest and said angrily* NOW, you are in trouble.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-03-2002, 04:53 PM

*Don carefully searched for the splinter in the raw cut on Machias' back. When he found it, he didn't want her to tense, so he said nothing. Instead, he grasped it firmly with the tweezers and drew the length of claw out smoothly, in one fluid motion. The shard was nearly an inch and a half long, and smooth. He deposited both on the tray beside the bed* OK, the fragment is out. It looks whole, but I'm just going to make sure nothing was left behind, then we'll seal it all up. How are you holding up Machias?

*Leonardo felt the silence stretch longer and more uncomfortably between them. He wanted to talk about something else, but he didn't know how to bring it up. He shifted a bit.*

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 04:58 PM

Raph stared back at his Master from his place pinned to the wall. His eyes registered surprise and in growing amounts, rage...

R: (quietly) which mistake're you protectin' me from NOW?....

Coughing intermitantly, but never on the patient, kya just kept the flow of fresh gauze constant. She dabbed up the areas around the wound site, and took the old swabs away when the disposable trays got full.

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 05:04 PM

Machi: *Cries out as the splinter is pulled from her flesh, a fresh flood of tears running down her face and soaking into the bedsheet* DAMN IT THAT HURT! Why didn't you WARN me??? *clutches Mike's hand*

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-03-2002, 05:20 PM

*Donatello's voice was calm, but compassion and sympathy lurked under the surface.* Because if I told you, you would have tensed and it would have hurt more. Don't worry, there's no fragments that I can find in here, so we're ready to seal you up again, then it will be over. *switches to conversational tone* So, did you catch any movies while you were out?[/i]

*terran631* · 12-03-2002, 05:23 PM

SP: *doesnt rise to the bait. His hot anger cooling a little. He presses Raphael further against the wall* Since the first time I saw you this afternoon, you have tried your hardest to make me angry. You have succeeded. I have tried understanding and patience..the mistake was mine not yours. I have learned from it. I am the master, you are the student. It seems I had forgotten for a moment. Close your mouth. Do not say another word until I tell you otherwise. *he removed his hand* Go to the dojo.

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 05:27 PM

Machi: Good... I want it... to be over. ........Movies? Uh, no, I was a little..... distracted........ *to Mikey* Are you alright?

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-03-2002, 05:29 PM

*Don is still completely converstaional.* Too bad, I heard that the new Harry Potter one was OK... Almost done back here.

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 05:33 PM

Machi: Yeah... I heard it was good.... *sharp breath* .....That Lord of the Rings...... one is supposed to be out soon, too.... Mikey? .....Say something.

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 05:33 PM

Raphael narrows his eyes and tightens his jaw to the point of pain, but he straightens and grunts something that might have been "HAI" had he not been ordered not to speak.

He strode off toward the dojo.

kya kept her eyes on the wounds and her mind focussed on her task. A stray thought of admiration flitted through the back of her head and was gone.

Kya (intrernal) for only having three fingers, he's remarkably deft at his work...

She threw out another tray full of swabs and let herself cough a few times before returning to her post.

*terran631* · 12-03-2002, 05:42 PM

Mike: *jumps a little startled when Machias asked him to speak. His hand was numb, but oh well. One more hand in a cast.* Yeh...yeh I'm fine. Harry Potter? Havent seen the new one either. Maybe we'll go see it tonite or something huh? *keeps babbling completely ignorant of anything logical. The only thing he could focus on was how much pain Machias was in and what to do to the people responsible*

SP: *takes a deep breath and follows Raphael to the dojo. He goes to the front of the room and sits* Run. Laps around the room.

**Kali** · 12-03-2002, 05:44 PM

*Kali shifted in the uncomfortable silence* I think... I should go see if I can see Splinter. *she stood up and headed back down the hallway*

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 05:47 PM

Machi: *tries not to laugh despite the pain* Just....... making sure....... you were still with us. .....Was afraid I'd .....have to shop for his ....his and her IV poles....

*kyabetsu* · 12-03-2002, 05:51 PM

Kya watched, soaking in the new ideas as Donatello cut some poly-derm to fit the patch on Machias' back. He used it as a layer between the bandagas that now covered her back and the open wounds.

D: there. It's a reusable layer. We can wash it off and put it back use the same piece of artificial skin until that whole thing is healed. It should allow your wounds to breathe, but not to get infected and it'll promote scabbing and clotting without getting caught in it like the tshirt did. no showers. I'd just take bathes if i were you Machais... you'll want to try to avoid getting that dressing wet for the first 48 hours. if you notice sharp pains, swelling or a fever, tell me IMMEDIATELY.... otherwise, i'll want to check on it tonight before bed and tomorrow morning when you get up. other than that... you're done.

kya pulled the sodden towels from beside the patient and came back with a hot rag. She wiped down machias' face and pulled her hair back into a tighter ponytail.

kya (internal -- and just for Machias' sake) ... maria concebida sin pecado, nos rogad .....

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 05:54 PM

*It hurt. It simply hurt. She's never see them again... they were as good as dead to her.... She got up slowly and tried to come up with a plan of action.*

~Has to be SOMETHING in this hellhole that can help....~

*Her cd came to an end at the same moment that she stepped into the hallway. The silence was more deafening than the noise.*

*terran631* · 12-03-2002, 05:56 PM

Mike: *bends over a little until he's face to face with Machias* You ok babe?

*Kameko* · 12-03-2002, 05:57 PM

Machias: I've been better, I guess. I'm glad that's over.... Still hurts, though...
