Molly, Miss Sage - I've redrawn the blueprints.



The major change is that I gave up on the missiles, the generator, and the defensive capacities of the fort. Even with electricity, I wouldn't have been able to make them work. But, I found someone who can cast a magical barrier around the playground. He just needs everyone who should be allowed in to write down their own name. Miss Sage, if you could work on that list... ? There's no hurry, since we need to actually build the playground first, but it will take some time and we should get started.

Ah... I also put in floodlights; it seemed like a good idea...

What do you think, Molly? Does this design meet primary objectives?

Aw, c'mon Donnie-boy. [This time he smacks him on the shell.] I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that I don't like to be snuck up on when I'm working. Don't you have anything better to do?

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Touchy, touchy. I'm just sayin' hi. Ain't my fault you're outta practice.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[A touchy subject indeed.] I'll start again. I promise. I just have to do this first.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[And he didn't even intend to bring it up!] Suuure. I know you, Donnie. You finish one project, you start ten others.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

I - [Yeah, no. He can't deny his way out of this one.] Make me, okay? Put it on my to-do list.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

What, you actually want to train?

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[No. He's never wanted to. But he's always done it anyway.]

[He looks away.] It doesn't matter what I want.

[Action]

[He shrugs.] Not with a war and you two months outta practice it don't. I'm surprised Leo ain't riding your shell by now.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[So frustrating. With the things that come out of his brain, he can protect a whole community. And yet he's always expected to use his fists to defend himself and his family.]

Don't give him any ideas.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I won't. Trust me. That'd be bad for both of us.

But uh, maybe you should get started before he figures it out on his own.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[A noise that's maybe a little less committal than it should be.]

[He opens the journal again, motioning Raph to silence.]

[Peeeeek over Don's shoulder. What's he doing now?]

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[Sotto voce.] I found someone who can provide a defensive perimeter for the playground. Better than what I could build.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[It pains him so much to admit this.] ... Magic.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

You're kiddin'.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

... No.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Ooookay, Donnie. You definitely need to get out more.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

You think I'm making this up? I've been talking to people, Raph. Magic is very common here.

... Kind of disturbingly common.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

You think I don't know that?

It's not gonna do anything weird to the kids, is it?

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[... Ah, so Raph did learn something from his recent misadventures.]

It had better not.

I will say, though - even two months out of practice, I can easily take the individual in question.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

If you can get past the magic.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

... Fair point.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

True point. You're just askin' for trouble.
