mnt_raphINT. TENT THAT DREAMS OF BEING A STUDIO APARTMENT
The scene opens on the interior of Raph's tent as it exists at present, the scene is a desolate one. The camera pans through the space, starting with the front door flap and moving counter-clockwise through the space. As it travels through the living room/sitting area there is a brief pause to take in the one shred of magic still left on the roof: the Raph-shaped clean spot that claims the left-most cushion of the couch. The tour continues over the breakfast bar and through the galley kitchen, before coming to a halt on the remnants of what was once a bed.
Suddenly the alarm clock on the bedside table sputters to life, and the moonlight which bathes the room is augmented by the blue blinking display. The camera pivots to take in the face of the clock which blinks the time: 1:22 am. When it pans back to the bed proper, the bed is not only whole but currently occupied as well. A shirtless Human RAPHAEL lays on his back, his eyes closed.

Date: 2006-12-04 05:29 pm (UTC)It's hot. Tropical. Like a sauna, except saunas don't have breezes that carry the scent of hibiscus and roasting meat to your nose like a taunt. There's a party, but you're not invited.
But it's a luau. Everyone's invited.
Lahaina Beach sparkles in the sun. The Lahaina Broiler's nonexistent walls and nonexistent clocks tell its patrons that it's half past Happy Hour so drink up, the view's fine.
Tequila sloshes into two glasses, and Bernard lifts his, his black-on-black Hawaiian print buttondown catching the dim bar light. When he speaks, he slurs just a bit.
"You're a fuckin' asshole, did you know?"

Date: 2006-12-04 07:40 pm (UTC)"Really. Next you're gonna try an' tell me the sky's freakin' blue. You gonna drink, or you gonna squawk some more? I won fair an' square, an' you know it."
Raph picks up the glass, and gestures with it for emphasis.
"This whole poor loser thing o' yours ain't ladylike....did you know?"
His impressions aren't anywhere near as impressive as his brother's.

Date: 2006-12-04 07:46 pm (UTC)Then he grumbles something about Bernard's inability to find his own ass with both hands, before downing the Takillya.

Date: 2006-12-04 08:02 pm (UTC)"Whaddaya mean, you don't fuck?! Everybody fucks! Fucking is why we're on this earth!"
Bernard looks at Raph like he's the goddamn moon man and smokes his big cylindrical boomstick, until he notices that he's not getting any nicotine out of it. Then he looks at it, takes an actual cigarette out of a pack of Camels, lights that off the wick, then sticks the burning wick in his mouth and pulls it out of the dynamite with his teeth.
"Doethn't fuck. Jethuth," he mutters around a burnt tongue.

Date: 2006-12-04 08:29 pm (UTC)This strikes Raph as particularly funny, so he has to call as much attention to it as possible.
"YO! Bartender! Can we get the award winnin' monkey over here a medal?"
no subject
Date: 2006-12-04 08:35 pm (UTC)"Ow."
Then he unwraps it and takes a bite. "Want some? 'S dark chocolate. The good stuff."

Date: 2006-12-04 08:39 pm (UTC)His skin turns green in direct sunlight, changing back to pale pink once the harsh rays retract.
"That ain't too bad right there. Tastes like....jerky."

Date: 2006-12-04 08:57 pm (UTC)"Blargh...what are you some kinda racist or somethin'? Mind your own damn business."
He attempts to pull himself further into the closest shadow. It's not easy to hide from the light.

Date: 2006-12-04 10:36 pm (UTC)The shadow isn't enough, they can still see him. Everyone can still see him. Almost frantic, Raph reaches for the zip-front sweatshirt that hangs on the back of his chair.
He brings up the hood just in time to conceal the changing color of his skin tone. Green fingers, not pale pink, zip the jacket closed.
Something, somewhere, begins to growl.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-04 10:43 pm (UTC)He's never been to Lahaina. It's nowhere he's been before. Unfamiliar territory.
Something's.
Wrong. Just.
The growling is louder.
"Raph," Bernard rasps, suddenly terrified to an unreasonable degree. "We need you to come home now. Please listen."

Date: 2006-12-04 10:52 pm (UTC)He's prey.
He's been prey before.
And he doesn't have the cover of darkness to conceal him.
no subject
Date: 2007-03-22 02:37 am (UTC)He doesn't.
The shadow leaps and swallows the Outlaw whole.
