59th Hunt

[Back dated to the evening that everyone comes back from the infiltration]

[Voice]

April, Don. I'm on my way. Got what I was looking for. Talk to you when I get there.

Where, Derek, and please give me a real answer.

[Voice] derek_bliss October 14 2010, 11:11:07 UTC

Hey, Don.

[He sounds exhausted but glad to hear his house mate's voice]

Coming down the road now, just passing the square. Need a little help if you can swing it.

[Voice] i_speak_softly October 14 2010, 22:27:26 UTC

Don't move, Derek, I'm coming. [Sounds of a Turtle exiting a house at speed.] How bad is he?

[Voice] derek_bliss October 14 2010, 22:31:33 UTC

Pretty out of it. Not hurt as far as I can tell.

...How are you guys?

[Still trying to keep as much of this off the journals as he can.]

[Voice] i_speak_softly October 14 2010, 22:40:45 UTC

[What an irrelevant question.]

Can he talk to me?

[Voice] derek_bliss October 14 2010, 22:48:36 UTC

...Don.

You'll see him in a few minutes. Probably better if we don't try and make him use the journals.

[Please take the hint....]

[If Don could reach through the journal and throttle Derek, he would be sorely tempted to do it now. But he can't, and in the three minutes it takes him to reach the square the urge has subsided, or at least been replaced by desires that focus on helping rather than on hurting.]

Raph... ?

[Action] derek_bliss October 14 2010, 23:02:51 UTC

[Derek has Raphael...more or less on his back, keeping him there by holding onto his arms and leaning forward a little. It's not comfortable, but it's the only way Derek could carry him, especially since the turtle is so drugged that he's not only limp, but drooling into Derek's hair]

If you can get one side...[Derek says quietly.}

[Action] i_speak_softly October 15 2010, 00:08:55 UTC

[Don hesitates - broken shells are a tricky thing to handle - but then he sees that someone has done Raph the courtesy of properly plastering his fractures.

He slides in at Derek's shoulder, taking Raph's weight onto his back.]

It's all right. I can carry him.

[Action] derek_bliss October 15 2010, 00:42:31 UTC

[Derek nods, letting Don take the weight.]

[Action] i_speak_softly October 15 2010, 00:55:02 UTC

[Don lets the weight ease onto him, adjusting his stance so it will pass through him and into the ground.

It feels good. He can do this.

... But something is wrong. He tips his head back, until his scalp bumps against Raph's snout.

Cold. Much too cold.]

Derek, go ahead of me. There's a stash of hot water bottles in my closet. Find them and start filling them. I'll catch up.

[Action] derek_bliss October 15 2010, 01:11:37 UTC

All right.

[And off he goes. He'll everything ready by the time Don gets there.]

[Action] i_speak_softly October 15 2010, 01:14:03 UTC

[It takes Don a little while to get back, but get back he does. He lays Raph in his own bed, carefully, face-down. Bottles go here, Derek.]

[Action] derek_bliss October 15 2010, 01:24:26 UTC

[Derek remains silent the whole time, simply putting things where Don tells him to put them.]

[Action] i_speak_softly October 15 2010, 02:21:52 UTC

[Once the bottles are arranged, Don pulls the blanket over. Now all he can do is wait.]

[Action] derek_bliss October 15 2010, 02:23:23 UTC

...Need anything?
