Twenty-fourth Theory [Action/Accidental Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[Happy Sunday, Luceti. Donatello hopes you're having a better morning than he is. That shouldn't be very difficult, given that right now he's wishing he were dead.

He tends to feel that way when he's having a migraine. And right now he's having just about the worst one he's ever had. He woke up this morning with thirty-two years worth of memories trying to cram themselves into his sixteen-year-old brain, and the laws of nature just don't really like that kind of thing. Thus, Donatello will be lying in a dark room, moaning quietly to himself, until the superabundance of memories sorts itself out and normal mental functioning is able to resume.

He'd really appreciate some silence right now. But the journal is open on his nightstand, you can probably hear his misery, and nothing but the goodness of your heart is stopping you from making his horrible day even worse.]

[Have a pained grunt, Winry.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

[i_speak_softly]

[It takes him a minute to psych himself up to the effort of answering that.] My... head...

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, should I...?

[i_speak_softly]

[A little moan. Draw your own conclusions, Winry.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'll talk to you later, then.

[There's some scuffling before another voice comes across the journals, obviously not Don's.]

Sorry, Win. He ain't feelin' good.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I gathered. Will he be all right?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I...hope so. Think it's just a migraine.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

The last week was a lot to take in. Maybe it's a side effect?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Probably.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

And what about you?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Just fine?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

That's what I said, ain't it?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess it is.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Right.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Will you keep me updated on how Don is?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[He makes to close the books, but hesitates.]

You're...fine too, right?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yes. Now that everything is how it should be.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

No. It ain't.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

How so?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

...Never mind.
