[ Helios sounds...well he sounds tired but beyond that he seems normal enough. At least he's trying to fake the normalcy after what happened last night it was...it was very hard to do so. ] You don't have to apologize for that Robert.

[ Besides they all knew it was an experiment. There's a few seconds pause before he responds again. ] I'm sorry a-about Splinter...

[ What a terrible time to have someone leave. Just after the effects of the malnosso kidnapping worn off. He can't even imagine how Donatello and his brother must be feeling. ]

[Helios. One of the people Robert loves, who he just forgot. He remembers exactly how Audubon felt towards him - wary, fearfulness mixed with wonderment and vague longing and some part that thought just maybe it should consider what was said -]

...

E-everything has been... t-terrible, Helios.

[Softly, wetly:] I am s-so sorry I forgot you... you, of all people...

... A-are, are the others alright at least? Are you, with... with this latest a-abomination occurring?

It'll be alright Robert. You're...you're you again and everything gets better. I-I'm sorry it had to come during this, this experiment though. [ He sighs on his end it's slightly shaky. He vaguely wonders if Giles will remember him when he gets back. ] It wasn't you fault. Y-You've nothing to apologize for.

As for the others? We're c-coping yes. These mask some, some of them are dangerous. Y-You should be wary just, just to be careful around them.

[ He says his reply far too quickly when Robert asks that question. ] And I'm fine.

... I... I r-remember. Audubon - I - had two of them on b-before.

[He shudders at the memory of how he acted with the Garo Mask on. He remembers trying to hurt Eggman, and that person, and others...]

...

... I... t-tried to attack people...

[Some time in the morning, Leo's waking up with a start. In the back room usually belonging to Robert. Memories of the last week flash through his mind, and he groans. What a mess that was. But his mind is distracted by the pain in his shoulder making itself known. Feeling like he was impaled all over again. But fortunately this time there's no bleeding. He closes his eyes, working to work the pain down. He can't stay in here forever, someone's likely to come looking for him. He finally manages to get it down enough to push himself up out of bed.

He grits his teeth, when finds the rest of his muscles sore too, from being in the wrong places for the last week. He heads out of the room. He has to find Don, and make sure he's all right. He goes to their shared room and opens the door quickly. He's relieved to find his brother there, sleeping.

The sound of the front door opening abruptly, and Robert's shout has him turning though, and heading for the living room.]

We're here Robert.

[Relief floods Robert a moment at the sight of Leo and the sound of his voice. They're okay. They're here and they remember him. This isn't some strange, sick parody of Leo like that "Rodney" was, some mockery of him wearing his face and body like the mask Robert saw at his side earlier.]

Wh-where is Don...? [He sways slightly, dizzily; Robert clearly looks exhausted and sick, weak enough to qualify as anemic. Over twenty years of trained muscle, gone in an instant; and organs reshuffled, and the loss of a balancing tail...

... Needless to say, he's completely out of sorts.]

[A voice wafts out from the bedroom.]

I'm up.

[He's not up. He hurts too much to be up. Too much to remember quite why he hurts, or how far from normal everything has been for the past week. Give him a minute to relocate reality.]

[Leo's taking in Robert too. No tail, no weird looking skin. No anger toward him.]

He's in--

[Be then Don answers for him. He heads back to the bedroom. Trying to determine if Don is back to normal too.]

Don, where are you from? [He vaguely remembers that convo in the labs. If Leo was anybody else, he probably wouldn't be up either. But he's determined to check on everyone before he lets himself relax again.]

[Not many of her friends are sounding very happy lately. Have one decidedly concerned Grune responding to your post, Robert.]

Robert? Are you all right?

[Maybe Master Splinter was one of his friends.]

[... Grune. How does Robert even begin to explain...?

... By being blunt, maybe. He doesn't really have any other way to phrase it.]

No... f-far from it.

[Softly:] Things are... i-incredibly difficult for the Hamatos and myself at the moment, Grune...

Go us? lostinmyway October 30 2011, 15:37:23 UTC
[She considers that for a moment.]

...Where do you live, Robert?

... House 55.

[... He's told her this, before. And probably added her to the list of people who can bypass the house's barrier, since the mun totally forgot about mentioning that on the last post... d'oh. But it's Grune. He can't bring himself to be angry or anything.]

... I am n-not certain if... the others want company, though. [Really, he hasn't been able to get them out of their shared room for awhile. And part of him suspects that neither of them want to deal with him right now.

He can't really blame them, either.]

Professor Hastings! You're back?

[... Eggman, you have awkward timing. But Robert's composed himself to talk. He's ready for this.]

... Yes. I am... b-back.

[He doesn't sound very good at all, though.]

I'm not sure which would be better for you. Being in a Malnosso cage still, or being amongst this mask madness!

[Bitterly:] I have been here for the p-past week. I was just... not myself.

... In fact, I have... a-already had encounters with the masks. [Uncomfortable ones.]
