[The odd recent behavior of her friends since she arrived has left April a little bit stressed ( Read more... )

quiet time, yoga for health, yes it's just water in that bottle

[Sometime after April sits down, Don emerges from the house, stumbles down the hill, and crumples face-first into the river.]

[Don't worry too much. He'll be out in a minute.]

[April's eyes are screwed shut in the most intense "I'M GOING TO RELAX NOW AND BE AT ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE AND FEEL PEACEFUL AND CLEAR MY HEAD OF QUESTIONS LIKE A FREAKING JEDI BOSS" expression anyone could hope to muster.

Therefore, when she hears the big splash, she very naturally gets kind of pissed off. She's trying to meditate, people.]

WHAT NOW?

Donnie?

[She scrabbles down the bank and just...waits. He's a turtle. He can handle water.

Right?]

i_speak_softly September 18 2010, 21:46:55 UTC

[Of course!]

[After a few minutes, Don rises up like Swamp Thing and sloshes out of the water, only to collapse on the grass and bury his face in his hands.]

[April makes her way to his side and pats his shell awkwardly.]

Hey---hey, what's with the swan dive?

i_speak_softly September 18 2010, 21:59:40 UTC

[Ouch, April. Why the banging?]

Hangover.

[Ohhhhh yes. She shouldn't be surprised, she'd been watching his antics in the bar. She makes no effort to keep her voice low at all. In fact--just the opposite.]

That's why I stick to Diet Coke, Donatello. Did your swim help?

i_speak_softly September 19 2010, 13:38:15 UTC

[A groan.] Ask me later.

You're not going to throw up, are you? Sometimes that helps, or so I've been told.

i_speak_softly September 19 2010, 17:04:37 UTC

I'm not going to throw up. [He peeks from between his fingers.] Were you meditating, April?

after_march September 19 2010, 18:47:37 UTC

Oh, that? Sort of. First I was thinking, "Clear your mind, April." Then about six thousand different thoughts popped in. So, you know--it wasn't going well.

i_speak_softly September 19 2010, 20:21:40 UTC

Takes practice. [He lays down, very slowly.] Don't let me interrupt you.

after_march September 19 2010, 23:47:38 UTC

Your passing out on the grass interrupting my non-meditation? Never! Come on, let's go get some coffee. It's getting too relaxed out here.

i_speak_softly September 20 2010, 00:40:27 UTC

Impossible. [The last thing he needs is more chemicals in his system.]

after_march September 20 2010, 03:46:13 UTC

Okaaaaaaayyyy...you want some of my water instead?

i_speak_softly September 20 2010, 23:12:43 UTC

Had enough, thanks.
