7th Kata [Action/Timed to earlier today.]

[fearless_leader]

[After recovering from the kidnapping affect, finding out Splinter is gone. Plus the madness of the last couple of days with the moon coming down and all. Waking up to everything normal is surreal. He, Robert and Don will head back to House 55 for a while, getting things somewhat settled, even if they're still getting over Splinter being gone. Leo's shoulder still aches pretty badly. But it's not as bad as it was. Though the colder temperatures probably aren't helping it either.

He and Don will head out eventually. For two reasons:

First to get supplies for winter,
Second to get stuff for some Halloween fun. Especially pumpkin's for carving.
Maybe some candy too.

Feel free to catch them around Luceti. At the stores, or even out at one of the farms, looking at pumpkins. You could also catch them at house 55 if so inclined.]

((OOC: Joint post with Leo and Don. Feel free to specify if you want both or just one of them. But you can catch them anywhere in Luceti.

[Aww but Leo.]

[Don circles the patch some more, still just looking. Once he's touched something it's hard to put it back.]

We can take a few home, but that's it.

[One for each of them and Robert, plus an extra. Plus, there's probably other people that want pumpkins too. One makes him pause, as it kind of reminds him of the one Mikey made the 'Leo-o-lantern' out of. He sighs a bit, glancing away from it.]

[Don pauses in the midst of reaching for a pumpkin, catching that odd reaction.]

Leo?

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

Just remembering last Halloween back home.

[He's not letting go of those memories, even if he wasn't in the right mind at the time to enjoy it.]

[i_speak_softly]

["Last Halloween back home" must mean something different to Leo than it does to Don. He's really not in the mood to ask.]

What about this one?

[Supervise Don's decision-making. You always enjoy that.]

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

[It probably does. Back home is back home in New York for him. Not house 55 in Luceti. But he'll welcome the distraction. He'll cross to where his brother is, and crouch down to eye the pumpkin in question. He'll certainly supervise. Not that he's a pumpkin expert or anything.]

Not bad. It's a little flat on this side, but it's nice. [He'll carefully roll it to show the the part he's talking about.]

[i_speak_softly]

It'll make a good jack-o-lantern. [He stands up, the pumpkin nestled in the crook of one elbow.] Which one do you like?

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

[Leo nods and straightens up.]

There's been a few.

[He'll head back a bit, critically eying one again. A part of him knows it's crazy to find perfection in something like this. But another part can't help trying to find the one that's about as close to perfection as it can get. The not crazy part of him wins out for now. He can't linger out here forever. He picks this one up. It doesn't sit straight, and has a spot on it, but it'll do.]

I'll take this one.

[i_speak_softly]

[He's kind of surprised you picked one that fast, but okay.]

It's nice.

Ready to get some food?

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

[He's been thinking about it for some time. In fact he's he's double checking, mentally, to make sure he'll be happy with it.]

It'll do. Are we getting one for Robert?

[i_speak_softly]

[Don smiles and produces a small pumpkin he had ninja'ed into his belt. Isn't it perfect?]

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

[It certainly is. That must have taken a while to find.]

I'm sure he'll like it.Let's go then. [He'll shift his pumpkin to be easier to carry.]
