Sixty-Fourth Theory [Action/Voice]
((First part is backdated to yesterday, November 10.))
[Would it really be so difficult for John's droids to just bring Don home?]
[Apparently, because they instead leave him in a side room of the barracks. On their way out, they drop his journal on the floor, just beyond his reach.]
[He can't feel his legs.]
[He woke up this way on John's table, and while part of his brain tried to assess the situation rationally and offer the mitigating factors that it's just for a week, thank goodness he didn't get this as his death loss, the rest of his brain was screaming too loudly to notice or care.]
[And now he's back in the village, half-paralyzed, still uncertain of his speech, and completely alone.]
[It takes a while, but he pulls himself together, drags himself a few feet across the floor, and painstakingly constructs a filter in the journal.]
Voice to Beast | Unhackable
Help. The barracks. Please...
[He closes the book when he's done. Beast won't get any reply from him through the journals, but will find him prone on the floor of the barracks, just wanting to go home.]
Voice for Everyone, November 11
[By the next day, Don has rediscovered his voice, and wants everyone else to hear it too. Being couchbound, he has nothing better to do than broadcast his every thought over the journal system.]
EVERYONE. Citizens, denizens, residents and inmates of our village of Luceti. Those of you who have just arrived, please find adequate shelter, because this is miserable weather to be out in. You're fortunate, though, to have missed our recent tornado. Also an infestation of ghosts and some messy business involving zombie viruses. Never a dull moment. I advise reading the guide, which can be found in your journal.
Those of you who are already jaded by such events, please entertain yourselves on this dreary day by suggesting a topic of interest: a fascinating subject, an intriguing project, or a hypothetical occurrence that you would find truly surprising. Jokes and stories are also welcome.
[He'll stop there. Finding words is still difficult and tiring, and like exercising any other faculty that hasn't been used in a while, he should take it slowly. Full recovery will come from patient practice, not from exhausting himself all at once.]
((Initial action is locked to Beast. Friends of Don are welcome to handwave hearing of his return and come visit, yesterday afternoon or any time during the week. Today's voice post is open to all.))

[Voice]
I'm fine. I wasn't expecting it to glow and make noise. But um... functionally.

[Voice] 1/2
[MIND = BLOWN]
[Voice]
This is amazing.
[Again the microwave is going. Then it stops as he opens the door, then starts again when he closes it. This goes on a few more times. Roy may have just found his new favorite thing.]
[Voice]
[Voice]
Thank you for your help. I do have one more question, and I hope you don't find me rude for asking but... What are you?
[Voice]
[... Not in the mood to give a straight answer, though.]
I'm an engineer.
[Voice]
[Yeah, that's a word that's completely foreign to him. But had he known it was such a sensitive subject, Roy certainly wouldn't have asked.]
[Voice]
[Voice]
[So an engineer refers to something he does. Not quite what he was going for, but he recognizes dodging a question when he sees it. Thus he'll leave it be out of respect.]
Again, thank you for your help, Donatello.
[Voice]
Is there anything else I can help with?
[Voice]
I don't believe so? But if I think of something I'll be sure to contact you.
[...]
Is there something you need?
[Voice]
[Really. Anything.]
