[Shredder and Karai are both gone.. He's glad for it. At least he no longer has to wonder when the Saki was going to make his move. Or try to figure out what he was up to. But on the other side of it. He's disappointed that Karai is gone. Near the end it looked like she was starting to see why he kept trying to get her to switch sides. Seemed to ( Read more... )

a relief and a disapppointment, too much to do too little time, doing his own thing

[Leo isn't alone at the Memorial Garden. Robert, after all, is one of its co-founders, and the unofficial caretaker for it. As such, he's there, tending to one of the plots.

... It's a plot for Mike. Mixed feelings towards the turtle aside, Robert was still sad to see him go. There is still an ache, an emptiness of a kind... he wonders if perhaps things would have gotten better, if Mike had stayed longer. Maybe they could have forgiven each other. Maybe they even could have been friends.

He doesn't notice Leo right now, lost in thought as he is. Want to approach him, Leo?]

[Leo had noticed the plots for his brothers before. It was good to have someplace where they could be remembered.

He's heading out, but decides to go visit the plots to his brothers. He slows when he sees Robert at one of them though.]

Hey. [May as well try not to startle the man.]

[Action] semper_cogitans October 5 2011, 10:50:30 UTC

[Even so, Robert does startle a little - he hadn't been expecting to be approached.

Leo's voice is unmistakable though, and so Robert glances up at him with a small, if sad, smile.]

Hello, Leonardo. ... Have you... come here to pay respects to someone...?

[... He is, vaguely, wondering if it has to do with Oroku Saki and Oroku Karai being sent home - but he doesn't quite ask aloud. His eyes might do that for him, though.]

[Action] honorthecode October 7 2011, 04:55:37 UTC

Uh, yeah. To Karai, we were once friends. [And allies.]

Nothing fancy.

[He honestly had no clue what to put there, except flowers.]

[Action] semper_cogitans October 7 2011, 07:38:28 UTC

[Well, that answers that question. Maybe Karai wasn't as bad as Robert had thought.]

... I am sorry that... circumstances went the way they did...

...

Perhaps she will return, one day. [He traces a finger idly across Mike's marker.] ... I hope others will, too... despite knowing it is selfish of me.

[Action] honorthecode October 7 2011, 07:51:32 UTC

It can't be helped. If the roles were switched, I'd probably do the same as she did. [It's the way they were brought up. To obey their master and father. Whether he was an evil overlord or not.]

Perhaps. [He looks to the plots for his brothers with a sigh.]

I don't know what I want more. Them to be here, or for them to stay home. [One part of him wanted his family to all be here, together, complete. But the other is thankful he no longer has to worry about them getting killed or injured.]

[Action] semper_cogitans October 8 2011, 01:28:26 UTC

[He nods, slowly. It's difficult to see other peoples' perspectives, but if he tries...]

... In the case of Vivi, I... I know I would w-welcome her back here with open arms...

... but I know she... she should be safe. With her mother. [His voice hitches just a moment.]

[Action] honorthecode October 8 2011, 05:38:07 UTC

[He nods.]

Yeah, I know they're safe at home, but a part of me wishes our family was complete.

[Action] semper_cogitans October 8 2011, 05:46:37 UTC

[Rather abruptly:] I... sometimes feel more a part of your family than... than I feel with my own.

[... It's been such a long time that he could relate to his parents the way he relates to Leo and Don. ... Or even Splinter.]

...

I wish they... were here too. Even if Raphael despised me...

[Action] honorthecode October 9 2011, 08:02:49 UTC

I'm kind of wary of their reactions to it when they do come back.

[Come from a world where they're hopelessly single, and find their brother noit only taken but by a guy. Yeah, that won't be awkward at all.]

[Action] semper_cogitans October 9 2011, 09:01:15 UTC

If they were to forget, you mean...? [It makes him wince to think about. Yeah, it would definitely be uncomfortable, to have to explain everything again - not just that he's Don's partner, but also that he lives with them.

...

Not awkward in the least.]

[Action] honorthecode October 9 2011, 21:53:07 UTC

Yeah. It is a possibility after all.

[He knows he was here once, but he doesn't remember it. He kind of wishes he could know what the other him knew.]

[Action] semper_cogitans October 10 2011, 13:09:10 UTC

... I... still wish I understood the mechanism by which we were drawn here. [Robert traces a finger idly around the leaves of a freshly-misted flower.] It seems that, at some points, different multiversions of people are taken...

... but there is never any sort of corollary as to when, or why...

[Action] honorthecode October 14 2011, 07:23:28 UTC

I'm starting to think they bring people and take them just to mess with our emotions.

[Action] semper_cogitans October 14 2011, 20:03:50 UTC

Well... it is not known if the actual bringing of people to this world is deliberate. The consensus seems to be that it is a natural phenomenon, of sorts...

... But the sorting of individuals into each colony here seems to be. [Quietly:] According to that "commandant" individual, we... are not the only "region" under jurisdiction...

[Action] honorthecode October 24 2011, 01:50:49 UTC

Yeah, that last couple of drafts have given me that impression too. So there's the chance that they are on this world, just not in this enclosure.

[That's not a great thought either, and might not even be true. But he wouldn't put it past this place.]
