Seventeenth Theory [Action/Incidental Voice]

((Continuity notes: While taking care of Polka after she collapsed, Don and Raph learned that Leo had been mallynapped. They promptly barricaded themselves in Polka's room, but quickly realizing that this was not a long-term solution, they determined to Get Serious about their plans to disrupt the barrier and escape.))

[This morning, the Turtle Twosome can be found stalking around Luceti, sticking close to one another and glaring at everyone else as though just daring them to turn into giant brother-stealing robots.

Their first stop is the library, where they will spend a couple hours poring over books about electricity, magnetism, plasma, and other esoterica. (Well, mostly Don is poring while Raph runs books back and forth from the shelves.)

Later they descend upon the smithy, rummaging through the items there and carrying off a number of metallic parts.

After that they go directly to the item shop, where they bin-dive for more random-seeming objects.

Then, they retreat to C6, lock the door, and start assembling their booty into a device that is essentially the World's Most Awesome Lightning Rod.

In the evening, when it is slightly less excessively hot, they will emerge again, to spend some time cooling off at the lake. This will largely consist of long periods of sitting underwater, punctuated by brief forays to the surface for air.]

((Feel free to run into them at any point, or to eavesdrop through the journals as they're working. Tags will likely be answered by both.))

I don't talk about her that much. [Yes he does 8|]

Whatever that means. [And so does he.]

Don't think so.

[Then he pauses, realizing he has no idea what he's actually looking for. So his attention drifts to his own workbench, seemingly untouched since the last time he was here.]

Whaddya think I should do about my stuff? It'll disappear once I'm gone, won't it?

Maybe. [Still kinda bummed though. He walks over to the bench and starts pocketing the mostly finished shuriken in his belt.]

All right.

[He sidles up to Don again, ready to go. But before he leaves, he holds out his hand for his brother to see - four intricately designed shuriken, all in different styles, two finished, one mostly finished and the other still in the preliminary stages.]

I was makin' these for you guys.
justicereigns: (hmm)

Hm. I don't think so. I'm not sure if devil fruits work the same way as that... but if they did, Blackbeard couldn't have stolen Whitebeard's. So you're probably safe.

...I really don't like that idea.

Then avoid them. It's a giant hole in front of the shops. Straw-Hat fell in, but that's not saying much. He could probably fall anywhere.
justicereigns: (gruff)

A few people used it as prison cells I'm told. If something more formal could be made, at least there could be actual consequences to some of the bullshit people do around here.

I'm all for that.

Go for it. [He's not really sure if they'll actually work, being so fancy, but it'd be kinda pointless if they didn't, so why not.]

[Action]

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-05-28 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes it back and tucks it in his belt with the others.]

Thanks.

[He's still feeling a little mopey over god-knows-what.]

[Nods.] Even if people don't die as permanently, doesn't mean people should be allowed to dissolve into anarchy. [Eyes narrow.] Especially when only a very select few actually want that.

[Action]

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-05-28 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. [He'll just follow, not really paying attention.]

Well it's a good thing those tunnels take away powers, otherwise we'd never be able to hold 'em. People would just magic their way out.
