Forty-Third Theory [Mostly Action]

[i_speak_softly]

((General post for the next two weeks or so. Preemptive tl;dr, find him anywhere, though suggestion of day/place/activity is appreciated.))

[As May begins, and as a fairly large percentage of May goes by, Donatello can be found doing the following things:

-Jogging through the woods, tracking down any signs of life detected by the departed Mr. Scott's not-really-new-and-not-exactly-improved-either tricorder. ((New Feathers, feel free to jump in here.))

-Hauling huge loads of books to and from the library.

-Studying these books - in and around House 55, at the library itself, by the fountain, at the coffee shop, alongside the river... pretty much anywhere.

-Copying diagrams from the books into his journal.

-Working at the smithy, trying to create physical equivalents of these diagrams.

-Digging through bins at the item shop.

-Practicing wind magic or good old-fashioned ninjutsu in various open areas around the edges of the village.

And a few more specific actions:]


[Don needs a few minutes of your time. If you don't dare to approach him while he's working, he'll come looking for you.]



[Some rainy evening, Don will show up at Robert's door with a duffel bag and a goofy grin. You owe him a nanocomputer demonstration - and he brought you a gift.]



Frederic, a question, if you have a minute...

The water here is deeper. Mold grows on the walls. There is a door leading to the east.

/open door

[i_speak_softly]

The door is open.

/go through door

[i_speak_softly]

You are in a chamber. In the middle of the chamber is a statchue of a man. A glow seems to emenate from the statchue. There is a plack on the base.

A door leads to the west.

/read plack

The plack says:

HAMATO YOSHI
HERO WHO DEFEATED THE MALNOSSO

All who invoke his name will find help.

[Nice, bro.]

/say hamato yoshi

[i_speak_softly]

The light grows brighter. The statchue appears to bow its head to you. The plack swings open on hinges and a shelf slides out from behind it. There are weapons on the shelf. A voice whispers "choose one".

There are katana, sai, nunchaku, and a bo staff here.

/pick up nunchaku

[Duh.]

[i_speak_softly]

Taken.

/walk east

[i_speak_softly]

You walk behind the statchue.

There is a feather here.

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

[i_speak_softly]

Taken.

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

/use feather

[i_speak_softly]

Nothing happens.

[i_speak_softly]

There is a wall.
