Rpg: Funny how things work out - Page 8

"And you thought I'd get no yogurt..." Donatello told Raphael.

"Well, I'm getting some too!" Raphael responded.

"How about this? We both eat our yogurt in peace." Donatello proclaimed.

"Works for me." Raphael complied.

*heretic888* · 02-16-2003, 01:07 AM

Michelangelo sat down beside his brothers again and gave them their yogurt. A slightly more serious look had taken over his face. "So... what do you dudes make of those guys that were goin' after you?? They were too well-organized and well-armed for that to have been an accident.... that attack was planned."

*R-iZZy* · 02-16-2003, 01:11 AM

Donatello looked down at his knees, then up at Michaelangelo. "I can sense that this is a highly dangerous group of thugs on the streets. What I make of it is that those guys felt as though we were trespassing in their territory. It makes no sense though..."

Raphael cut in, "Sure it does. It's like a stranging coming into your house and making himself comfortable. Our situation was similar to that. Since we violated their space, they became very vengeful people..."

Donatello figured it out, "Hell-bent on making us learn a lesson. This is one great group of thugs. And the artillery used was out of this world. Punks with rocket launchers? Unlikely. I have a feeling they've had this before. Otherwise, their plan wouldn't came out so masterful."

"Mike's right" Randi put in, "But in my opinion, it wasn't all that well thought out... it was like they hastily put it together."

*heretic888* · 02-16-2003, 01:15 AM

"You think someone is pullin' their strings from behind the scenes, Randi??" Mike asked Miranda.

*Jade Green* · 02-16-2003, 01:23 AM

"I do like a good puppet show." Randi replied, "Did you two find out anything about the hole in the roof? from what I saw it looked like the same kind of steel my knife is made out of made that... only wealthy people can really afford it... so that gives us some links..."

*heretic888* · 02-16-2003, 01:25 AM

"Yeah?? Like what?? You know of any connections that could come by weapons like that???"

"Li for one, then there's Sandra Ripley, when you're a millionaire you can buy a lot of stuff." Randi finished her cereal, "There's others, of course, Li could give us a better list when she gets back."

She glanced at the clock, it was only Nine am? Geeze, so much could happen in so little time.

"Then again, she does have a computer..."

((Sandra Ripley is a well known Millionaire in New York

*heretic888* · 02-16-2003, 09:38 AM

Michelangelo seemed deep in contemplation for a moment. It was weird for him to play 'leader', but with Leo not around somebody had to do it. And, out of three of them, he was probably the most capable for the job....

"Alright, we'll wait until Li comes back and Randi can talk to her about it... until then, maybe you should find out what you can on the computer, Don??"

*Jade Green* · 02-16-2003, 01:31 PM

"Computer's over there." Randi gestured, "Cable connection and full access."

She then stood up and went to the phone, quickly dialing a number...

"Li, you're not in Japan... Yeah, fer' now at least. Say look, you know anything about the steel used for my knife? Yeah, I know it was sold there but where was it made? ...That far away? Who else could afford that steel?" She clicked her tongue, "In New York, Li! ...Yeah, I guessed her, who else? I need people who'd actually associate or at least hire thugs--I'll tell you whats going on when you get here... Yeah, right... tore a hole right through the roof of a van Mike's bros were drivin'..." She nodded, though Li obviously didn't see it, "Right, see you then."

*R-iZZy* · 02-16-2003, 05:13 PM

Donatello walked over to the computer and cracked his knuckles, staring at the computer in satisfaction. "Ah, isn't she a beaut (short for "beauty")? I could definitely work with something like this."

Raphael paced around the room, a hand cupped under his chin. He bowed to the floor in contemplation of the thugs, then with a swift movement of the leg, kicked the plastic cup of yogurt across the room. "I want to get to those *ssholes as soon as possible. And the hole on the roof? That needs to be explained as well. Donny, you better be the best analyzer you can be at the comput-a-ma-thingy." Raphael growled in verocity.

"You can count on that," Donatello replied with an eased tone in his voice. "With me behind the screen, nothing but good things can come about this."

*Jade Green* · 02-16-2003, 07:52 PM

"Hey! Hey! Pick up that cup." Randi growled, "No need be slobs."

*heretic888* · 02-16-2003, 10:52 PM

Michelangelo laughed at Randi's chastising of Raph's manners.

"So, Randi," Mike asked, "what did Li have to say about it??"

*R-iZZy* · 02-17-2003, 01:49 AM

Donatello stared at Randi with an annoyed look. He looked back at the computer with a sorrowful look in his eyes. "Don't worry... I'll see you again, you beauty, you!"

Raphael inserted his big toe into the yogurt cup and kicked it up to his hands, where he snatched it swiftly. He walked to the kitchen and threw the yogurt cup in the garbage.

Donatello sluggishly walked over to his yogurt cup and picked it up. "Pick up your yogurt cup. Pick up your yogurt cup!" Donatello mumbled to himself, mocking Randi's words.

*Jade Green* · 02-17-2003, 11:27 AM

As Don was walking away from the garbage can, something bounced off the back of his head. It was a brightly colored rubber ball about one inch in diameter; Randi easily caught it on the rebound

"Don't mock me, this is both Li and my home." She put the ball back on the counter, "And that's Li's computer, so have some respect, will ya?"

"As for Li, she said to keep digging and she'll be here when she can."

*R-iZZy* · 02-17-2003, 12:41 PM

Donatello held the back of his head, "Ooooow!" Donatello rubbed his head, as the hit of the ball aggravated him. Not in pain, but just because the feeling was there.

"Fine, fine! You didn't have to clock me in the head with a ball! I'll just go put away the yogurt, but don't hit me on my way out!"

*heretic888* · 02-17-2003, 01:07 PM

Michelangelo rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Just find out what you can, Don." he said. "The rest of us will wait until Li comes back..."

"Until then," he added, "I am gonna work on Kihon Kata (Sanshin no Kata, Kihon Happo) for a while."

With that, Michelangelo began to practice the fundamental kata of ninjutsu.

*R-iZZy* · 02-17-2003, 04:28 PM

Donatello lifted up a thumb to Michaelangelo, acknowledging and complying with his demand. Donatello booted up the computer and stared at it with amazement.

"Sweet gig Li's got here, what does she do for a living?" Donatello asked, but it wasn't meant to be answered. It was more of a compliment to her. "Well, I can do some things with a system like this. I won't let you down."

*heretic888* · 02-17-2003, 11:22 PM

((To give you all some idea of what Mike is doing right now, I thought I'd explain things a bit. The sanshin no kata [the triple heart or triple spirit form], or gogyo no kata [the form of five elemental directions] as it is sometimes called, is one of the two basic sets of kata fundamental to ninpo taijutsu. It comes from the Gyokko-ryu Ninpo Kosshijutsu. The sanshin consists of five specific kata identified with the five elements: chi [earth], sui [water], ka [fire], fu [wind], and ku [void/emptiness].

They are as follows with accompanying links showing them done graphically:

Chi no kata - http://www.bujinkancanada.com/chinokata.shtml

Sui no kata - http://www.bujinkancanada.com/suinokata.shtml

Ka no kata - http://www.bujinkancanada.com/kanokata.shtml

Fu no kata - http://www.bujinkancanada.com/funokata.shtml

Ku no kata - http://www.bujinkancanada.com/kunokata.shtml

It should be remembered that these kata are NOT fighting techniques in and of themselves, but rather teach the ninja the fundamentals of balance, momentum, movement, distancing, etc etc. They are also essential for the development of ki.))

((OOC: Ah, thank you Mikey... I mean heretic888... now I can sort of comprehend the terms you're using. Maybe I can adopt some of these terms and use them in my posts...
