[Filtered to Raphael // hackable]

Hey... Raph?

C'n you... c'n you come to my place? Maybe?

I think I did somethin'... I... Just...

...Okay?

[Forward-dated to late evening. Takes place after this and after/during this.]

...Yeah. Of course you do. [Glowering at the table now.]

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

You can come with if ya sober up before then, but I don't see that happenin' any time soon.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Isamu grumbles something indecipherable.]

When're you gonna leave, then?

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Just got here. He can live without me for a little while. And I'll come back, all right?

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

...All right.

[Satisfied that Raph isn't going to leave him immediately, Isamu slouches a little more in his seat.]

Then... can you get me some water?

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

That what you called me over here for, to wait on you hand and foot?

[He kids. He's getting up to grab a glass as he speaks.]

Well ain't I privileged.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yep. Wanned my own turtle waiter.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Gotta say, you got fine taste.

[Raph rummages through the cupboards for a glass and finds them behind the third cabinet he opens. He turns on the tap.]

Pay better be damn good.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Payin' with my soul, aren' I?

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He fills the glass and turns off the tap.]

Now that's emo bullshit if I've ever heard it.

[Then sets the water down on the table in front of Isamu.]

Here's your beverage, princess.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Isamu laughs a little, reaching for the glass.]

Sorry. Please don't beat it out of me.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He stand there, hands on his hips.] So waddya want me to do, stand here and watch ya ooze into the furniture? Maybe I should beat it out of ya.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Isamu just laughs again, bitterly, leaning his forehead against his wrist.]

Go ahead.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[Raph rests his hand on Isamu's shoulder, giving it a rough squeeze.] I'm kidding.

[Then he moves to take his seat across the table again.] I ain't no better than you. I know.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Isamu just shakes his head, though what at he's not quite sure.

Then he's right back on the original topic, his mind running steadily on one track.] He'll probably move out.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Eh, if he does, he does. If ya need a place to crash, door's open back at my place.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

That's just it... I'll have this place all to myself. [Just like before. But there was nothing wrong with it then, was there?]

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that's gotta get way too quiet. I'd go nuts.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I don't mind quiet...

[He lets his head fall forward, burying it in his arms.]

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Maybe not, but it's better with people around. Gets too borin' on your own.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[If you only knew the sort of world Isamu had once tried to create, Raph...

He's just going to utter a faint] Mmph. [from where his head is buried.]

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Should probably move to the livin' room or somethin'. Y'don't wanna pass out here.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Who said anythin' about passing out?

[He raises his head again anyway and begins pushing himself to his feet. He'll move away from the table just as soon as it stops moving.

...Any minute now.]

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I did. [He goes to grab Isamu's arm and lead him in the right direction.] C'mon, tipsy. Bedtime. I gotta go check on Donnie soon.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Hey. Whoa. Movement. Oh boy.

Isamu leans into Raph, holding onto his arm with both of his.] Shit, man...
