What.... SERIOUSLY!? Who? Like an assassin?

Tch... Looks like I really did skip town at the right time. Is anyone we know hurt?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Keimi's at the clinic now. Busted a couple ribs. I don't know. Nobody'll fucking let me check it out.

[doubleppk]

The mermaid?

I'm sorry Raph. Does she know what happened?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I don't know. She's sleepin' and now we're at Robert's.

[doubleppk]

Okay, so what's he freaking out over?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He seethes through his teeth.]

I don't know!

[doubleppk]

[SIGHS. Why you do this Raph? And then she remembers why Robert fears Raphael so much.]

Well give him his space and let Don talk to him, all right?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

What do you think I'm doin'!? You think I can do anything about this!? I can't, all right!? I can't do shit!

Raph.

[doubleppk]

You're plenty strong. And you can do a lot. And the minute you find out who did it, I have no doubt, you'll beat him to a pulp until he won't ever think of hurting your friends again. For now, give Robert space and maybe go check and see if anyone else has any leads.

[There's a thump and a crash somewhere in the background. Hold on, Fujiko. Raph's busy putting his fist through a wall.]

[doubleppk]

[Temper temper... although she's not too fazed. When she's mad she shoots things, so there's that...]

How's your shell?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He's just gonna knock over a chair for good measure and ignore that question completely. Reminding him of what those fucktard Malnosso did to him isn't gonna help matters.]

[doubleppk]

[Oops. Well, lalala waiting out the tantrum.]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[Eventually the other line goes silent.]

[doubleppk]

[Calls him back to double check.]

Hey love, you all right?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He growls lowly.]

I'm fine.

[doubleppk]

Want me to fly down there to keep you company?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He's silent for a moment. When he speaks again, it's still a growl, but it's made raspy by some other emotion.]

I don't want you gettin' hurt.

[doubleppk]

I can take care of myself. [But she sounds really relieved. Dealing with unknown assassins attacking the whole village was not her idea of a good time.]

You're not allowed to get hurt either though. Try not to do anything too scary, all right?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

But I want to, though. I want to hunt it down and kick the shit outta it. But I can't do a damn thing.

[doubleppk]

You will. You just have to find it first. I've got faith in you.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He turns this over in his mind for a moment, letting some of his anger drain into defeat.]

But I'm sick of gettin' the crap kicked out of me. I'm sick of always bein' hurt 'cause of something. If nobody else could stop it, I sure as shell can't.

[doubleppk]

[... Raaappph why so moe? Gdi.]

Raph... You don't have to fight if you don't want to. Just protect the building and your family best you can. But if you want to fight, don't think you're weak. You're not. I've known hundreds of tough guys and I'd bet on you against almost all of them combined. If you want to hunt this asshole down, you'll do it and find a way. I'm sure of it.

You're stronger than you know.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I ain't lettin' nobody touch my family, but I can't do nothin' if they got magic.
