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...

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.

A door leads to the west.

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

/take sai

[i_speak_softly]

The sai vanish!

The statchue seems to wave its finger at you.

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

[Alright, that's about all Mike can stand.]

Nnng, Donnie, this game is lame.

[i_speak_softly]

It isn't finished yet.

[But look what is finished - the plugs of the Xbox controllers are somehow fitting into the ports of the Playstation. Isn't your brother awesome?]

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

Hey, cool.

[Par for the course.

Mike gets up and walks to the kitchen.]

Want something?

[i_speak_softly]

[You're welcome.]

Just something small.

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

I think there's still some of that better than sex cake. Want a piece?

[What? It could be a small piece.]

[i_speak_softly]

Sure.

[As long as you don’t make any obnoxious comments about it.]

since once was not enough

[He already got it out of his system like a million years ago. We're talking like he hasn't made a crack about it all day. You're safe, bro.]

Want some milk too?

once was enough for me.

[i_speak_softly]

No thanks.

[Mike returns with the cake (your slice is quite a bit smaller than his, which means it's about a normal sized piece) and sits down again.

With his mouth full:] Man, who knew mayonnaise went so good in cake?

[Oh, did he mention that yet?]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don sets the cake aside. He may or may not remember to eat it. Purposely or otherwise.]

I don’t want to know.

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's what the recipe said.




Are you gonna eat that?

[i_speak_softly]

I don’t think cake crumbs will help the read lens work better, Mikey.
