Eleventh Theory [Action/Voice]

((For the duration of the experiment Don's thoughts will be in {curly brackets}, OH GOD SORRY FOR THE BRAINSPAM.))

[Today Donatello is wandering around the village center, enjoying the nice weather and generally exploring. Unbeknownst to him, he is being followed by a thought bubble.]

[As he passes the clinic, on his way to the fountain:]

{... disassociative delusions. Induction of kinesthetic misperception. She thought her arm was artificial, so far as to... I should go visit her.}

[And as he comes into view of the school, he opens his journal:]

Molly, the weather is getting warm... do you want to start building the playground soon?

[Minato rubs the back of his head, but he seems more amused than embarrassed.] 'Don' would be much easier, yes--thank you.

... Most people call me by my given name--if you want. Whatever you're most comfortable with.

[Action] Just... easily amused. Don't worry!

[identity profile] daddyflash.livejournal.com 2010-05-01 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good question.

[Minato's eyes are full of mirth.]

I guess we'll just have to explore until we find it?

[Action] Check your inbox. :)

Let's hope--I'm famished!



((I looked for it and couldn't find it, either. I'm sure it's somewhere!))

((Sounds good to me!))

[Minato gives a short bow and walks through the door.] Thank you.

[Minato laughs softly.]

How about we start with the menu? I don't know what they have, either, which would make it hard to give you recommendations. Two cafes can serve very different menus.

It's usually best to start with something like the House Blend. Every cafe has their own specialty roast, and it's generally made to appeal to the most patrons. Then you figure out if you like it black or with cream or sugar. The staff can always give you suggestions if you decide to try other blends.

... Then there's the food. That can generally differ, too--cafes serve anything from pastries to lunch, but not all do so. It really differs from shop to shop. I'm pretty sure you don't need pointers with the pastries, though, do you? [There's that grin again.]

At least, that's how cafes work in my world. Not sure about yours.

Sounds good to me--House Blend it is. ... And cinnamon rolls, too, of course. We can't forget those.

[After a few minutes, Minato's heads over toe the table with a tray carrying two large coffees and two... very large, gooey cinnamon rolls, the delicious smell proceeding his arrival. He sets the tray down on the table, then puts Don's coffee and cinnamon roll in front of him.

We're in luck, Don! These look good enough to send us both into diabetic comas.

[Minato sets his own place and ninja slides the tray table to the side of the table before sitting down.]

[Minato grins at that.]

That would be because I'm a ninja.

[There was no reason to hide that part of his identity in his world, and he feels like he doesn't need to hide it here, either.]

[Minato blinks.]

Why? Are there ninjas in your world, too?

[A blink.] I knew you were trained in something, but I wasn't sure what. [And a slight, worried frown--yes, he's already worried.] How so? ... Er, if you want to talk about it, that is.

[His eyebrows go up.]



I'm going to guess you don't enjoy training much, do you?

[Action]

[identity profile] daddyflash.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Minato grins.]

Could've dropped out of the academy if I wanted to. Didn't. ... I liked the training, I liked learning new techniques, I liked making new techniques. Liked the challenge of stealth missions or of trying to figure out how your enemy's techniques work so you can use them against him. There's some things I don't like about it, of course, but what can you do?

[Minato shrugs. In other words: yes, not only does he enjoy being a ninja, but he quite possibly excels at it. Not that he'd say that he does; that'd be rude.

The ninja sighs. He's picking at his cinnamon roll, too.
