Twenty-first Theory [Voice/Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[Hi, Luceti library. A giant turtle is rummaging through your card catalog and muttering to himself about how woefully incomplete your filing system is. Then that same giant turtle is conducting a thorough search of your nonfiction section, and changing his complaints to a muted diatribe about how woefully incomplete your research collection is.

Eventually, he gives up, and turns to the one book that's always there for him.]

I'm looking for information about healing magic... can anyone spare a moment to enlighten me?

[Later, the very same giant turtle can be found near the playground, wandering in and out of the area, staring in odd directions and generally acting quite strange.]

Well... that sort of thing's hard to say, you know? I mean...

I hope so. I guess.

[There's a lot of things Don could say to that, but Isamu didn't ask for his commentary. He'll keep his thoughts to himself.]

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

So. Healing, huh. Does Raph know?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[Little cough.] Not really. But I don't much care what he thinks about it.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Another laugh.] Well, good. It's not fair for only one of you to get to be rebellious all the time.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

It's hardly a rebellion. I don't need his approval for my projects.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Mm-hmm. I'm sure.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Please. If I took orders from Raph, I'd build nothing but motorcycles and weight-lifting machines.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[That just makes Isamu laugh.]

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

... I am building him a new motorcycle.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

You can do that?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

What, build motorcycles? Of course. They're just an engine on wheels.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I'd think they'd be a little more complicated than that... But if you say so. Where do you even get the parts?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

At home, in junkyards. Here, at the item shop. If I'm lucky.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Motorcycle parts? In the item shop?

...Huh. Guess they have just about anything.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Like I said. If I'm lucky.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What other shit can you usually find there? I might have to check it out.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

I'll tell you what I couldn't find: There are no computer chips to be had in this place.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Given that I hear there wasn't much in the way of electricity here until shortly before I arrived, that's not surprising. They don't exactly grow on trees.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

It doesn't matter, anyway. I binned that project.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What had you been planning on making?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[Very vaguely:] Something for someone. I'd rather not talk about it.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

All right. Sure. Gotcha.
