26 Ghosts [voice]

[schrodingersghost]

This... has been one of the weirdest weeks of my life.  And considering my life?  That is definitely saying something.

But more to the point.  Don!  Stop blaming yourself right now.  You didn't make me go along with it.  It was my decision.

And that goes for everyone else too.  It was just as much my fault that we got hurt.  We were stupid, okay?  But everything turned out fine. 


...And Jazz?  I need to talk to you.  In private.

I know I didn't. But I should have calculated for that. I should have been prepared for a collapse like that. ... and I wasn't.

And I should have remembered that I'm only human right now. That something like collapsing buildings are actually dangerous to me.

I'm a ninja, Danny. I've been trained almost since I could walk. I don't have an excuse.

... I understand it's both our faults, though. What happened. But we were each responsible for the other, as friends.

But it isn't right that everyone is punishing you for it. I'm just as responsible. And don't tell me that you're not blaming yourself. I'm not that bad at reading people, no matter what Jazz says.

Heh. Everyone else is blaming me, so why shouldn't I blame myself? You have no idea how mad Leo is... He won't even let Master Splinter punish me.

Look, I've taken the blame and the punishment tons of times for things I didn't do. Even more for the things I did do, but couldn't explain to my parents or my teachers. I'm not going to let you take on an unfair share of the blame for something I actually deserve to be punished for. That's something Vlad would do.

...Jazz was really upset.

Well, Leo needs to take a chill pill.

[Don just lets out a sigh.]

That.. sucks, Danny. [A beat.] WHat I was saying was rhetorical, anyways. [Actually it wasn't.] ... And even if it wasn't, how do you plan to convince Leo that he's gone overboard? This is more than just a punishment from a family member. He's our leader. We're ninja. It's not just Don the tech-loving turtle that's being punished, but the Don the ninja turtle as well.

I'll think of something.

I don't really get any of that.

You'll likely just make him punish you more during training.

... Well, you're not a ninja.

Probably. [Danny tosses this off in an uncaring tone.]

No. I'm not.

You are an idiot, though. [Don says this almost fondly.]

[He grins sheepishly.] I can't really argue with that. And I don't regret it either.

... Why am I not surprised?

Re: Locked, 99%

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Because you've known me for a while now?

Shush! That was rhetorical.

Must have missed the disclaimer.

You missed the nonexistent fine print!

Amazing how easy that is to miss.
