Machias' Punishment (split from FF.net restrictions) - Page 74

**Kali** · 09-24-2002, 11:35 PM

*Kali managed to sneak out of the infirmary and into the kitchen. She really didn't envy Leo at the moment. She thought as she made herself a mug of hot cocoa. Maybe she could convince Splinter to let her help with Leo's phobia if the session with Cooler didn't turn out well, which she guessed they wouldn't. By the way Leo was acting, it didn't sound like he'd react to total immersion therapy very positively.*

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 07:00 AM

*human girl appears outside the entrance of the lair, dressed liked an average teenager in jeans and a shirt*

*sighs* Well, I guess this is it. No turning back now.

*heads inside, wondering what she's going to say*

*terran631* · 09-25-2002, 07:23 AM

*Raphael sits on the couch in the living room watching TV. He looks up and sees the strange girl.* What the he!!? *He flips over the couch and pins her to the wall.* Who are you and how did you find this place?

*Splinter leaves Leonardo to sleep and enters his room where the remains of his breakfast sit. Sighs and picks up the cold tray to carry it back to the kitchen* Well, it was a lovely thought.

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 08:16 AM

*glares at him, but w/o her usual intensity and w/o struggling* I'm Enigma, you creep. Now let go me. I'm not in the mood to fight with you.

*terran631* · 09-25-2002, 08:18 AM

*Raph looks at her curiously and then grins* What the he!! happened to you? *he lets he go*

**Kali** · 09-25-2002, 08:34 AM

*Kali looks up as Splinter enters the kitchen* Splinter, can I talk to you?

*Splinter set his tray on the counter and sat down at the table with her* Yes, of course. What is on your mind?

Well, I'm a little concerned about how you're dealing with Leo's phobia. *she bit her lip* I don't think that's the best way to go about it.

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 09:22 AM

*sighs, seeing no reason to fight, not anymore* I did this to myself, Raphael. This is what my human half looks like and this is the way that I'm staying from now on. I'm giving up my magic for good. All I came here to do is to get my Nagas and to say good-bye.

**Machias Banshee** · 09-25-2002, 01:58 PM

*Machias approaches the kitchen, the empty glasses in hand, when she sees Splinter and Kali talking.*

Oh--Sorry, i guess you two wanna talk....*turns to leave*

**Kali** · 09-25-2002, 02:15 PM

*Splinter glanced at Machias* You may stay if you like, Machias, this may concern you as well. *turns back to Kali* Now, you were saying that I should not have Leonardo help with Cooler.

Well, yeah. I know he has to get over his fear, but I don't think that's the best way.

Splinter: I understand that you have a great intrest in psychology, but I also think I know what's best for my son.

You aren't even recognizing his fear for what it is! *realizes she's shouting and quickly sits back down* Splinter, you compared his fear of snakes to yours of losing your sons, but they are not the same. Leo has a Phobia, an irrational fear. Being with Cooler may help him... but not this soon. *waits for Splinter's reaction, hoping he won't be too angry at her outburst*

**Machias Banshee** · 09-25-2002, 02:26 PM

*puts the glasses in the sink, and leans against the cupboard*

*In a quiet voice* I'm sorry to say i kinda have to agree...I think Leo would fare better with a gentle introduction, instead of just throwing him to the lions--er, snakes, for that matter...

*feels her heart beat a little faster, wondering what Splinter will say...*

*terran631* · 09-25-2002, 03:19 PM

SP *looks angry for a moment and then sighs* It appears that I have been mistaken about quite a bit in recent days. *sits down and covers his eyes* Leonardo is my strongest student, yet this morning he was as helpless as an infant. Do you realize the damage to him should he ever find out everything? I fear he would never recover.

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 07:13 PM

*starts to walk away* So good-bye and so long, Raphael.

*terran631* · 09-25-2002, 07:15 PM

Raph: *blinks in confusion* Wait wait wait...why are you suddenly going for the all human look? And why are you giving up your magic?

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 07:18 PM

*stops, but doesn't look back* You saw what happened when I got split. I became a maniac and nearly caused your brother to go insane, all b/c of my magic. The only way to make sure something like that doesn't happen again is to give up my magic and everything that goes with it. That means being human, for keeps.

*terran631* · 09-25-2002, 07:20 PM

Raph: *snorts* Leo was insane looooong before you should up. And it a'int like it was your fault anyway. Things just got screwy.

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 07:22 PM

*gives a dry laugh* Here's a twist. You trying to reason with me and you're the one who's always telling me to get lost.

*terran631* · 09-25-2002, 07:25 PM

Raph: Don't think its because I like you, cuz its not. It's just that somehow, someway, this is gonna end up being MY fault. Then Splinter is gonna make sure I'm perfectly tenderized for that Naga of yours to snack on. I don't need anymore trouble.

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 07:27 PM

Nagas don't eat turtle. It makes them sick and in your case, it might just poison them with spite.

*sighs* As for you getting blamed, I don't think Splinter and the others would go that far. This is my decision and I'm sticking by it.

*terran631* · 09-25-2002, 07:30 PM

Raph: Well, Cooler took a nice sized chunk outta my leg the other day. And in case you didn't notice, I ALWAYS get blamed. Besides, what's so great about being human anyway?

*enigma-1* · 09-25-2002, 07:32 PM

Cooler's only a baby, he doesn't know any better. And just so you know, he did have a stomach ache after that.

*glances over her shoulder* And if I'm human, then I know that no one will be hurt. The only way I can access my abilities unless I'm shifting is to go hybrid or total cybertronian.
