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.))

[Raph hates studying. Hates it. He has no idea why building something would need this many books.

He sits across the library table from Don and his mountain of reading materials, hunched forward in his chair and impatiently drumming his fingers on the table.

An entire week of restless pent-up energy has just about reached its breaking point.]


How much longer are we gonna sit here?

Great. [He sighs in frustration, shoving away from the table and standing. Time to start pacing again.]

[He stops, snapping over his shoulder.] What?

[Action]

[He wanders back, this time standing behind Don with his arms folded, glancing at the open books over his shoulder.]

You can read back at the apartment.

[He glances at the title, reading it over twice more to put it to memory.] At this point, I wouldn't mind some runnin'.

[Then he turns and heads off toward the section he needs. Lucky it's all alphabetical.]

[ Voice, much voice ]

[ 8| ]

Talk to me, guys. We got all our body parts or what?

[In the background:] Why're you askin' him that?

[Then, louder:]
Hey, Case.

... Just gonna take that to mean you guys managed alright. [ Gloves? ] Sorry, can't say I do. Need me to go on a hunt for a pair?

[ And two out of...technically two. RELIEF. ] Yo, Raph. Doozy of a week.

[Raph just shakes his head at Don's weirdness and hopes Casey says he'll meet them later. Having him around would definitely cure some of his boredom.]

[ Voice]

[identity profile] ny-vigilante.livejournal.com 2010-05-23 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, no problem.

Y'know- long as razor-blades don't fall outta the sky on the way over.

[Voice]

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-05-23 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure.

Don't give 'em any ideas, Case. They might take you up on that.

We're headin' over there now if you wanna swing by.

If they get it from me, you guys can have the good umbrella.

See ya there. [ He will be there like a boss, possibly a little fidgety until he actually catches sight of you guys. ]

[Several minutes later Raph returns with the book, setting it down rather loudly on the table before taking his seat opposite Don again.

As his brother reads, he starts inventing new ways to entertain himself. First it's tilting his chair back, trying to balance it on two legs, but once that gets boring he silently takes out his sai and starts secretly carving at the side of the table with the tip.]

[Runs into them in the item shop where Smoker is stocking up on rope, grappling hooks and lighters.]

Yo. [Half-wave, half-lazy as all hell salute that would get him in trouble with the brass in a second if they saw.]
