This is April O'Neil. I need...someone. Have to diffuse this bomb. Please. I'm at the playground. And--just keep the kids away. God, don't let any of them near the playground, okay?

[The Malnosso have finally returned April O'Neil, bruised up and battered and wrapped in what looks like a vest of charges and wires. There is a timer attached to it, ( Read more... )

The important thing is to stay calm. Can you distance yourself from the explosive?

[Voice] after_march February 5 2011, 20:59:03 UTC

The explosive that is STRAPPED TO MY BODY?

[Sorry, Green Lantern--she doesn't mean to sound like a bitch. It's nerves.]

[Voice] greenlongjohns February 5 2011, 21:00:09 UTC

[Fortunately he has a cool head, so this doesn't bother him.]

Without moving, can you determine whether or not there is a timer for the explosive?

[Voice] after_march February 5 2011, 21:04:27 UTC

H-hold on a sec... [April gingerly checks over the suicide vest they've supplied her with. There are straps on straps and everything seems to be covered with duct tape on top of that. Wires. And a small box with red glowing numbers ticking away.

April takes a deep breath. There are five minutes on it.]

Yeah. A timer.

[Never mind that Sanosuke doesn't have clue one about how to diffuse bombs; explosives are Katsu's thing, and this is probably some weird messed up future bomb. He's not going to sit around though, in case he can do something to help--especially with the possibility of kids getting involved.

So he doesn't open the book; he's lucky to remember to even grab it before he starts running. And he's not going to stop until he gets to April.]

Red!

Sanosuke?! Don't come near me! I think it's armed!

[action] bearingevil February 5 2011, 21:29:36 UTC

[Yeah, okay. So this would be Sanosuke not listening to you about that staying away bit.]

That's bad, right? [Silently, he's cursing Katsu for not teaching him anything about explosives.] You know how to get it off if it's armed?

[action] after_march February 5 2011, 21:35:52 UTC

[April looks down at the very firmly strapped and duct taped explosive vest.] I don't think I could get it off even if there wasn't a bomb...

[Very slowly, she moves one arm forward to take hold of the ladder on the children's slide. Steadying herself.]

[ there's a breathless "oh my god" from John before he formulates a proper reply: ] Is anyone coming for you?

[ voice ] after_march February 5 2011, 21:37:34 UTC

[April too is breathless and shaky. Very shaky.] I--I think so. Soon, I hope---because...I don't want to die.

[ voice ] sittingtype February 5 2011, 22:05:54 UTC

Don't think like that. You need to remain calm.

[ voice ] after_march February 5 2011, 22:09:21 UTC

I'm trying, okay? I never was good at that meditation thing. Master Splinter would be asking me to take deep breaths or something now.

[There's a slight intake of breath before what sounds like hands slamming down on a table.]

April! Damn it- Is someone on their way?!

[Voice] after_march February 6 2011, 00:44:31 UTC

Yes! Yes, there is! AND THIS IS NOT HELPING ME STAY CALM, LUKE.

[Voice] cakeblocked February 6 2011, 01:42:53 UTC

Gah- Okay, okay, I'm sorry! Just... I don't know, keep breathing until they get there!

[He should follow his own advice - in fact, he takes in a deep breath before he speaks again, a little calmer now.]

You're going to be fine, okay?

[Voice] after_march February 6 2011, 02:02:41 UTC

Breathing. Right. I'll see what I can do. [But she, too, tries to put into practice some of Splinter's techniques and actually get it right this time.]

Thanks, Luke; I---I'm sure this will all work out right in the end. Like some fairy tale or something.

[If April is still at the school after she gets diffused, Raine will be heading over to that general area.

If not, then she'll just have to look for around the village, won't she? In this weather. The snow always seems to be falling lately.]

[action] after_march February 6 2011, 04:40:12 UTC

[By the time April runs into Raine, it's definitely after being defused and probably after she has gotten some clean dry clothes to wear and some food. And like--half a bottle of wine. April is not a drinker but under these circumstances she went all out.]

Raine!

[action] wise_maiden February 6 2011, 04:46:45 UTC

April! There you are. Are you all right? I didn't see you when I went to check the school.

[action] after_march February 6 2011, 04:53:55 UTC

[The words come out in a rush:] I'm fine! [She hurries toward her friend.] I'm fine now. The bomb's gone.
