[While this week wasn't as tough as the last one, Robert still finds himself feeling pretty down. Between
Ami being drafted,
Helios' return,
events that are technically happening at this moment have happened with Vivi and
the last conversation with Donatello from six days ago now, there is a lot to think about for this poor overwhelmed scientist. Though he's been trying to ignore the irrational urge to panic over the fact that the aforementioned purple-mask-wearing ninja turtle hasn't been around at all for the past while - or at least, hasn't been anywhere that Robert would've expected him to be - it hasn't really worked very well, and Robert just finds himself dwelling nearly constantly on it.
So today, he's decided to put things to rest. But first, he needs to deal with some of the other nagging issues that have been bothering him as of late.
He sets to work creating a bunch of filters, because he hardly needs to announce his problems over the whole journal system...]
[Filtered to the Malnosso, 90%]
[Robert doesn't really want to do this one, but it's necessary if he ever wants to see his nanocomputer...] Excuse me. I would like to speak to a cooperative Malnossian scientist, if such a thing exists - I have a request for a certain device from Terra, assuming one wishes to honour it.
[/filter]
[And after that happens...]
[Filtered to Mizuno Ami, 90%]
[This one is more awkward than anything else.] ... Doctor Mizuno. I hope that... that you are well, after the... draft. ... Would you perhaps have some time in which we could speak, or perhaps even meet? ... I wished to talk to you, about... about the events that transpired. [He needs to see if Ami is the same Ami, the Ami he was friends (as strange as it is to think that) with before all this happened.]
[/filter]
[The last one is the most difficult one, and Robert really hesitates before he does it... but eventually, his need to know overrides his absolute terror of Donatello's brother - and so he very reluctantly hits the Call function for Raphael's journal. Should Raphael actually answer, he'll hear the following obviously-anxious, pleading little message:]
[Filtered to Hamato Raphael, 95%]
... W-Well. Er. I realize that you... are not enamoured of me, but I... I haven't seen your brother for a week now and... I'm quite... n-no, very worried as to his whereabouts. Would you - [... and Robert falters a bit...] ... p-perhaps happen to know where he might be? [Robert can't keep the tremors out of his voice, or the obvious strain of fretting over Donatello.]
[/filter]
[After that uncomfortable little foray into the world of bothering various people who may/do not want to speak to him, Robert might go off somewhere to be depressed. Perhaps even Good Spirits - he hasn't set foot into it before, but who knows. It might be a good time to do so today, with so much on his mind that he can't find a good answer to - sitting and curling up in his room won't help today.]
(OOC: I'm honestly not sure about the last part, it's mostly to keep this from being a "Robert does nothing but whine privately to people" post... :D; So feel free to presuppose he's somewhere in the village if you want to run into him outside of those specifically derped at via the filters.)
