Twenty-third Theory [Action/Voice/Accidental Video]

[i_speak_softly]

((Backdated to this morning, of course.))

[An earthquake in Luceti? Don doesn't know how likely that is, except that apparently it's possible.]

[Somewhere in the back of his brain, he knows that you're supposed to stand in a doorway when an earthquake hits. But as the first tremors rumble through C6, knocking Don's journal off a shelf so that it falls open on the floor, all he can think is protect Raph.]

[He throws himself over his still-bedridden brother, holding him to the mattress and trusting the springs to cushion both of them from the worst of the shaking.]

[As soon as things are quiet, he'll dash to the other room and grab his bo, in case this earthquake was caused not by movement of fault lines but by big-jawed robots chomping their way through the building.]

[Noticing the open journal, he'll shout into it.] Did anyone else feel that?

[You can probably hear the last of the juice glasses hitting the floor in house 55 when Derek answers, Don.]

It was a quake. You guys all right?

[If Don hadn't practically thrown himself over him, Raph probably would've slept like a rock through the entire thing. But sensing his brother's panic, he surfaces back to the realm of consciousness, blinking sleepily up at Don while the room shakes around him. The lamp on the nightstand smashes to the floor, the windows shudder in their frames, and the entire building is roaring and creaking on its foundation.

But earthquake or no, Raph's a-okay. He's not even sure if it's a dream. Even if it isn't, who cares? Whatever shit they're drugging him with makes everything just peachy.]

Wussat? What-?

[Not that he really cares. He just wants Don to get out of his personal space.]

What're you doin'?
