[Action, timed before Helios' post] honorthecode October 28 2011, 01:37:53 UTC
[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.

... No. Not at all. [Robert shakes his head, frowning deeply.]

... I haven't been n-near the house in... over a week, though. Surely either of you two would have seen him...?

What? [Surely he would have noticed his partner being absent from the house for that long. The sense of dread in his stomach grows stronger, and he moves past Leo towards the end of the hall.] Sensei?

He...was avoiding. Well, not just us. [He's refering to Robert, er Audubon. As for Splinter..]

I don't remember seeing him all week.

[He'll follow Don out.]

Master Splinter? [There's no answer.] Maybe he's out somewhere. [Considering what's going on, it's possible.]

Where's our journals?

[Hearing Leo calling for the journals makes Robert want to get his.] Sh-shall I fetch mine? It... sh-should be in my room... Now where has my nanocomputer gotten off to...?

[... He should probably check Don's room soon, shouldn't he?]

He wasn't in my dream.

[The analytical part of Don's mind has already concluded that it wasn't a dream, but his coping mechanisms are staunchly denying this fact admittance to Don's consciousness.]

[He knocks softly on Splinter's door, then again, louder.] Master Splinter?

[Don's journal is on the bookshelf near his bed. So is Robert's nanocomputer. Now how did that get there?]

I don't think it was a dream, Don. Robert, find yours if you can. See if you can contact him.

[As Don goes to the bedroom, Leo goes out to check the garden, just in case, maybe he was out here. Some how didn't hear them. Which is hard to believe considering their Sensei's sensitive hearing. While he does so, he does glance up for a moment and is startled to see the strange moon.

[At this point, Robert glances into Don's room as the turtles exit and go to find Splinter.

... His nanocomputer is in there. What...?

... Well, he can't just leave it. Robert steps into Don's room slowly - gingerly, though it's getting easier to walk - to retrieve it, conscious of how everything seems subtly rearranged and even more conscious of how it reminds him, inanely, of his own room. Except when he went into his room, it had also been rearranged.

What the hell?

He turns and begins the trek back to his own room once more, intent on locating his journal. He'll probably get there by about the time Don starts calling for Splinter...]

[A few moments after Robert passes, Don gets worried enough to just open the door.]

[Splinter isn't there, and - his things are gone. His things are gone.]

[Don practically falls out the back window in his haste to shout to his brother.]

Leo, he's -- [And then he catches sight of the moon.] What the shell?!

[He doesn't even know where to start panicking.]

[Screw the moon. Don's yell makes Leo snap around to him. He moves swiftly over to the window.]

He's what? [His first thought is maybe Don found him injured.]

Don...? [His journal clutched to his chest, along with his nanocomputer, Robert looks out into the hallway. He's... worried, to say the least. Don sounds absolutely horrified and it's downright unsettling.]

[Focus, Donatello.]

[(Even when his father is absent, he's still with him.)]

[Don grabs Leo's shoulder - his good shoulder, if any of their shoulders can reasonably be described as 'good' right now.]

He's gone!
