First Theory [Action]

Mar 01, 2010 20:33

[Donatello has been hiding out in his apartment for most of the past two weeks (i.e. his entire time in Luceti) because, well, that's what mutant turtles do. And also because 90% of his fellow inmates, including his brothers, seemed to have gone insaneNow, though, a semblance of normalcy has been restored, and Don has decided to test this thing ( Read more... )

look a giant turtle, studying!, doing experiments

[Action] here comes Cloud to disprove that theory herobydefault March 2 2010, 01:43:47 UTC

[...that's a Sahagin wearing a purple mask.

Cloud slooooowly unsheathes his sword, staring at the turtle-monster.]

[Action] This is not the scientific method i_speak_softly March 2 2010, 01:49:30 UTC

[Unsheath as slowly as you like, Don is a ninja and he knows that sound. He drops his book, jumps up, and draws his bo, falling back into a defensive stance.]

[Action] this is field research okay you can't be so structured herobydefault March 2 2010, 01:53:50 UTC

[Okay, it stands like a Sahagin, but it's just got some stick. Maybe its trident broke. Cloud mumbles, talking to the Sahagin but more to himself since he knows it won't understand him.] Now how did you get here?

[Action] Edison never had to work under these conditions i_speak_softly March 2 2010, 02:00:51 UTC

[Don eyes the very large sword, and wonders whether his bo will hold up to it.] The same way everyone else did, I think.

[This little girl was on her way to the smithy, and who does she find by the fountain in the square? Donatello of course! Winry approaches. What's he reading? What's he reading?]

Action i_speak_softly March 2 2010, 02:54:55 UTC

Oh, hey, Winry. [He folds the book closed around his finger, and shows her the cover.] You know, for a world without vehicles, Luceti has some surprisingly good books about jet engines.

Action wings_thatwait March 2 2010, 03:07:29 UTC

[Winry blinks twice. Jet engines? Were they like anything Alfons was working on? She leans in for a closer look.] Oh?

Action i_speak_softly March 2 2010, 03:15:23 UTC

The diagrams are very edifying. [He opens the book again, and passes it to her.]

[Leonardo happens to be walking by, and thus stops to say hello. This . . . is the correct one, the one he knows, right? He thinks so. First at the library and now here, reading -- Don must be the bookish type.]

Donatello.

[action] i_speak_softly March 2 2010, 03:01:06 UTC

Leonardo! Good to see you again!

[action] nadarejin March 2 2010, 03:05:23 UTC

Likewise. [His gaze rests on the books.] You must enjoy reading.

[action] i_speak_softly March 2 2010, 03:09:33 UTC

When I can find something to read. [He's not sure how to read Leonardo's gaze.] Bibliophile yourself?

[ YOU ASKED FOR IT. ]

[ Or, well. Usopp's going to walk up, look at you and try to decide whether or not to say anything. When he talks to turtles, it usually ends up with him flailing and/or being challenged to epic battles. You can understand his hangups here, right? ]

[ Action ] i_speak_softly March 2 2010, 03:07:08 UTC

[A weird guy with an enormous nose (well, to him, all humans have enormous noses, but this is just ridiculous) is staring at him. Don stares back, warily.]

[ Action ] sniperkingftw March 2 2010, 12:12:59 UTC

[ Damn, it's always the nose with people. This is obviously going to go well. ]

...hi. [ So far, so good. ] It's a good library, right?

[ Action ] i_speak_softly March 3 2010, 00:23:25 UTC

... It's the best one I've ever been in.

[Assuming that this is earlier in the day and before any... shenanigans, Raine will have to pass by this way after school is out. She's carrying a bad full of students papers, and some books. He might recognize her from that meeting a few weeks ago, at the very least, should he look up.]

[Action] i_speak_softly March 3 2010, 00:26:51 UTC

[Oh, it's what's-her-name, who was running the town meeting. Wasn't she a teacher, also? She must be a very wise and important person. He doesn't have a good reason to interrupt her from her business, so he'll just go back to his book.]

[Action] wise_maiden March 3 2010, 03:00:12 UTC

[Raine'll notice him as she walks by anyway. Leonardo...? No, he wore blue. She didn't really catch the names of the others, either, but now is as good a time as any to start.]

That seems like it must be quite the read.

[Action] i_speak_softly March 3 2010, 03:05:43 UTC

I'm getting through it. [He shows her the book.] Aviation mechanics.
