---

Michelangelo has posed:
There had been rumors on the internet as of late. Of a group of skateboard enthuisists, tired of the rules and regulations on the surface and decided to move the party underground. Taking over an old drain tunnel area, they had converted it into a skatepark of sorts, where they can skate around all day without the police showing up.

But that's not what's drawn people down to this skatepark. It's made itself known as a mutant friendly getaway and on various facebook posts and TikToks there has been video of a green... lizard like creature that has been shredding up the park with some sick tricks and stunts. Calling himself 'MONDO GECKO!', the lizard mutant has made the skatepark his personal playground.

Which is where he is tonight, showing off for a few fellow skateboard enthusiasts. Someone has brought down a boombox and hooked it up to a turntable so that they can have DJ on scene performing while Mondo Gecko is doing his thing, currently making sick twists in the air and landing a 360 footie with ease.

Michelangelo, in the shadows of the sewers is watching with a mix of awe and... "I can do that too!" he tells his brothers, if they're with him. "All those tricks. Totally could." But he's not out there. Because Splinter would have a fit if he did. So he's in the shadows. Sulking. Just a little.

Donatello has posed:
    "I know you can, Mikey," Donatello whispers, resting a hand on Michelangelo's shoulder. "I know you can." He too watches from the shadows, crouched down next to his younger brother. After Mondo Gecko pulls off an especially sweet grind, Donatello winces and side-eyes back to Michelangelo. "But can you do that one?" he asks, his mouth curling to a wry smile.

April O'Neil has posed:
Being that April had caught wind of this little underground event, she'd thought she'd attend it and cover it on her show tomorrow. So she's invited Terry, her cousin, to come with her. "I know, I know, it's in the sewers. But there's more good in the sewers than you'd probably think." She'd tell Terry at some point upon their expedition down into the undercity. Having her yellow jacket on, a pair of black jeans and black boots, April escorts her cousin down the best drainage entry she knows of and is now on her way (their way?) toward the underground Skatepark. She knows of it, Mikey's raved about it and shown her the location before.

"I can already hear the music." She says to Terry, "Its just up here..."

Sally Pride has posed:
It didn't take long for the stories of 'giant gator in the sewers' to spread to other interested ears. People talk, which is overheard by the rediculous number of pidgeons in New York. Which apparently tell what they've heard to one mutant pidgeon. Pete may not be all there in the head, but his extended 'family' occasionally picked up something curious. Urban myths are usually exaggerated from some nugget of truth, so what if there was a reptile of some sort loose in the sewers. It's someone that could maybe be convinced to help them, if it does exist.

And that is why Sally Pride was trodding her way down a sewer tunnel. After ganking herself a pair of boots so she didn't have to walk in who knows what barefoot. "Ugh, figures I'd get the job that's literally crappy," she mutters under her breath. Old Hobb probably enjoyed giving her it, just because she's the one that doesn't blindly go along with his plans. Though the argument that she was the one that wasn't super big or carrying around an extra load she couldn't really disagree with either. Herman would probably get his container stuck in the narrower passages.

The lioness pauses, ears perking as she catchs the hint of music somewhere in the tunnels. "... Not what I expected to hear." But it's a good of lead as any and she starts making her way in that direction.

Leonardo has posed:
Leo analyzes the moves, analyzes his brother, and concludes, "...I think you can do better, Mikey. The training you have is superior to what the Gecko's showing. But we can't show ourselves." And that is why Leo, in particular, is doing his usual fantastically disciplined job of staying in shadows. He actively stands in the places that are hardest to see. There is no 'good enough' for Leo. There's a healthy helping of 'make Splinter proud' in every choice of which shadow to stand in, and when to adjust position.

Kainashi has posed:
    Elsewhere in the sewers, though nearby, there was a huffing sound, followed by the shaking of fleshy canine ears as a head shakes out some dust -- and a mighty sneeze.

    "UGh.... "a figure states as she rustles out of a bunch of discarded boxes "... Alopex is going to be mad..." she trails off a moment, though her left ear lifts. Tattooed inside the ear is the kanji for Useless, from which she gets her name, and the scarred-up rednose pitbull mutant snuffs the air, pulls her sweatshirt a little closer -- and follows the sound of the music out of curiosity.

Terry O'Neil has posed:
"Pfff, Ape- you've got the former murderclown of Gotham as your roomate and your cousin turns into a cat. Do you really think that at this point in my life I'm going to be deterred by a little sewer?" April's cousin shook his head and grinned, "For all I know, we'll find another Wonderland down there."

Terry wasn't /too/ far off. He's wearing a matching yellow jacket, because if the O'Neils had a Roller Derby team, that'd be the official color. "You know, you find out about the most fascinating things. One day you're going to have to share your secret with me. All I come across are the conventional cape and spandex stories."

He could hear the music, alright, and he has a spring in his step, full of anticipation.

Michelangelo has posed:
"'course I could!" In his dreams maybe. Mikey gives Donnie a look over his shoulder. "But Splinter would get all 'You Let Yourself Be Spotted' and I'd be grounded for like a month!" comes the response, but then Leo's backing him up and the youngest turtle gives his oldest brother a smile.

While that's going on, in a tunnel adjacent to Sally, there's a noise. A low, rumbling growl. And then a loud hiss as a figure comes bursting out of the tunnel. It's a massive creature. A gator. April and Terry and those from the surface world will recognize him from the news. Killer Croc. One of Batman's rogues. But what's he doing in the sewers?

That's answered a moment later as dozens of small droids, each about three feet tall, with beaks for heads, little rounded egg-shaped bodies, and a pair of mechanioal legs clack out, a pair of them firing nets at Killer Croc to try to capture him as he roars!

Immediately the teenager humans are breaking up, but Mondo Gecko isn't so lucky. A few of the MOUSERs are marching their way towards the lizard mutant, attempting to capture him as well!

Mikey reaches over, and SHAKES Leo. "That's them! That's the robot thingies! I wonder if that hot lizard woman will be with them again?!"

Leena Danvers has posed:
Earlier: "Ballista." "Madame Null." "We've been seeing reports of a possible mutant in the sewers under Brooklyn. You're going down there to investigate." "The sewers? Ugh." "Enough complaining. Get down there, find out what it is. Capture if you can, but at least get some intel."

Now: Ballista is trudging through the sewers, lost. GPS is useless down here and nobody knew EXACTLY where this hidden skate park was. She's wearing a custom made gasmask because hell no she's not going to be tromping through the sewers unprotected. She'll find where she's trying to get sooner or later. Presumably from the sounds of the massive commotion that's going on, with the MOUSERs and Croc.

Donatello has posed:
"We know, we know, Leo," Donatello drones. "Stay in the shadows." His tone is playful, nothing at all like how Raph might have said it. He gives Leo a smirk and then turns to Michelangelo. "'Course you could," he repeats, nodding in agreement. So supportive!
    As the MOUSERs come spilling out, Donatello's eyes widen and he leans forward slightly, as though the extra inch or two might give him special clarity over the situation. "Look at those..." he whispers, in more awe over them than the skateboarder a moment ago.

April O'Neil has posed:
April smirks over at her jacket twinsie. "A big net." She replies about how she learns about all of this. "The gig at C6 has really lended itself to my internet connections. I can barely get through all my e-mail and DMs now, tipping me off about stuff like this."

There's quite a few people milling about in the sewers tonight and April glances at them, but it's the on-scene arrival of the Killer Croc that makes her stop and reach over to stop Terry too. "Look'et." She whispers to him. "That... is bad news." She points at the Croc and keeps her back close to one of the concrete walls in the tunnel just beside the skatepark entrance.

When the nets start firing from the robots, April quickdraws her phone and starts recording! "I told you we'd find something here tonight!"

Sally Pride has posed:
Reflexively at the roaring ruckus Sally jumps back, feline agility saving her from getting trampled by the massive gator storming through the tunnels. "Holy hell, they were actually onto somethi--"

A net whizzes past at the gator, with the little robots marching after it, some branching off in the other direction towards the park.

Wait, those match the ones that reportedly attacked that warehouse a while back. And now someone was using them to hunt mutants? Or... well, she's already learned that there's more kinds of 'mutant' than like herself, so she's just going to assume the giant gator-man is something akin.

"Annoying little tin cans!" Sally draws her blaster pistol and snaps off a few shots at the MOUSERS, trying to keep them from dogpiling the gator. Crook or not right now he's just a fellow strange creature in trouble.

Leonardo has posed:
Leo sees the mousers, sees a mutant in trouble, and tells his brothers to, "...Kill the lights. We work in secret." Remaining in the shadows, Leo pulls out shuriken, and motions for his brothers to do the same. If they hit all 3 lights at once, they can basically cause a dark shroud to fall over the area. And that's what they like best. He has them wait for his signal...and then motions for them all to throw at once, so all lights drop at basically the same time.

Kainashi has posed:
    It's at that point, when the lights begin to drop that an unfamiliar face arrives. She hears the metallics of the mouses stomping, the roar of Killer Crock, the cries of the skaters as they try to escape, and her ears pin back, her hackles stiffen, and the hoodie-wearing mutant dog leaps into the fray as lights begin to drop.

    Certainly, her 'clan leader' would take some pretty severe issues with being seen by a bunch of skaters!

Terry O'Neil has posed:
Of course, that had to happen. There is a theory, among people close to the O'Neils, that just as there are elementary particles that hold our reality together, there are also other types of elementary particles such as the Troubleon- the particle whose presence implies a high probability of Things Going To Hell In A Handbasket. The proponents of this theory also hold that the O'Neil family are, essentially, massive generators of Troubleons. The effect of two O'Neils present in the same area resulting in this precise scenario was, they would argue, as inevitable as continental drift and the eventual heat death of the universe.

"Holy mother of little lizards, that's definitely a scoop!" April is already recording, so he keeps his back to the concrete wall with her and starts digging into his pocket. "Just in case this goes south, I should probably let the cat out of the bag!"

The portable mirror comes out. "We're all-"

He pauses. There isn't quite enough light to see his eyes, and therefore transform. He steps forward a little, as there is a small amount of lamp coming in from a small and faint light fixture over the wall- perhaps a security access hatch? Who knows, it's too dim to see, being nothing more than a little light bulb, but he will soon be able to see it quite clearly with feline eyes. The mirror comes out again, reflects the light:

"We're all-"

And then SOMETHING flies out from the darkness at Terry- that something being a shuriken, apparently. He doesn't have time to react, but fortunately for him the mirror takes the hit and flies out of his hands.

Before terry can react, it disappears into the darkness of a small hole in the concrete, one of the rough drainage features in the train tunnel area.

"-fucked, sooo fucked-" the redhead says, watching his mirror vanish and, after a second or two, certainly die with a faint shattering noise. He quickly goes back to flattening himself against the wall. "Just so you know, if trouble comes our way you've only got your cousin and not the Cheshire Cat." He hoped the lessons from Harley and Troia also helped him when he didn't have the amazing acrobatic reflexes.

Probably not as much... quickly looking around, he spots a metal pipe on the ground and picks it up, arming himself.

Michelangelo has posed:
"Shuriken out, ninja vanish." Mikey declares, throwing his own shuriken and while he may not have had the same skill as the oldest brother, he does hit the target. He beams a smile at his brothers. "Ninja Gaiden 3. High score!" he announces to his brothers proudly.

At the skatepark, things are going to hell in a handbasket. There's at least four MOUSERs that are trying to get their hands on Killer Croc, but he's fighting and screaming -- and when Sally gets too close to him, there's a swipe at her either! Someone has trust issues here.

Mondo Gecko is not having it any easier. A couple of MOUSERs have bagged him and are starting to drag him towards one of the exits. One of the MOUSERs approaches Sally, as if about to capture the lioness. But after a scan of her, the robot snaps its jaws at her but is wandering away - just in time for Sally to blast it with her laser rifle.

This is what Ballista arrives at the balls of and there is snapping of metallic jaws as the robotic creatures start to advance on the Null Mutant to try to start to snap at her, firing off a net to try to capture the raptor mutant!

Leena Danvers has posed:
As the lights go out, Ballista turns on her enhanced vision HUD, a blue glow surrounding the raptor's face in the gasmask as she looks out into the darkness. But then it's just in time for her to see the net coming straight at her. She puts her hands up and tries to block it, but it knocks her down and pins her to the ground, "Son of a bitch!" She yells out, upset at the sudden attack from the MOUSERs. She slashes at the net with her scythe claw, slashing through it, as she grabs her knife off her side. More of a sword than a knife from the size of it, as she gets back to her feet, "Come on you fucking robot shits, lets do this!"

Donatello has posed:
    Donatello nods at Leo, turns to look at Michelangelo and nods in his direction, as well. His arm extends back, shuriken in hand, and tweaks forward in perfect unison with his brothers. The shuriken sails forward, briefly dancing in the air with Leo's shuriken, as birds do when they're in love. It flies so gracefully that even a picture couldn't do it justice. A poem would be needed to properly capture the majesty. Fly! Fly, oh shuriken!

    ...Right into Terry's mirror. Before Donnie has a chance to either fix his blunder, or properly explain to his brothers how taking the mirror out is advantageous to them, if you think about it, and something about how light waves work, his brother Leo properly takes out the light for him. Donnie looks over to briefly glance at his older brother. The darkness has one extra benefit. It's very difficult to see if turtles could blush and, if so, if Donnie's doing it. Yes.

April O'Neil has posed:
April is recording the madness of the robots trying to grab on to Killer Croc. "We might need to get out of here soon, if those things don't contain him." April warns her cousin amongst all the shouting going on now. "If they piss him off, we might be turned into red gooy mist. I haven't heard anything but horror stories about hi--" April yelps audibly when the shuriken hits the mirror out of Terry's hands, her eyes look over at him as the lights start going out and she is forced to flip the LED Light on her phone on! Now there's a bright white spotlight on April's phone shining around inside the sewers. "This is a little intense, even for me." She admits. "Chesire cats, angry crocs and a skateboarding lizard being drug off by ... robots?" April's voice is a little shaky becaus eof the adrenaline!

April hasn't spotted the turtles yet, but her light does glint off of the shuriken on the ground now. "I think we might have some help near by." She guesses!

Sally Pride has posed:
Then the lights go out. Fortunately Sally has nocturnal vision like felines are known for, and sharp enough ears to still hear the little munchers clicking about. She ducks as Croc is flailing about, not really blaming him considering, you know, he's being attacked and all that.

Followed by a "Oh just wonderful," as Ballista also shows up. And the Mousers go after the raptor instead of her. Are they only hunting reptiles? Oookay. "Check yourself Ballista, there's an ENTIRE CITY above our heads remember!" Hopefully that'll keep 'Collateral Raptor' behaved, relatively.

The lioness takes a few steps into the converted skatepark, gripping her blaster in both hands for stability as she takes aim at another Mouser and opens fire. It's dark but she's likely a bit easier to spot now, especially with the energy flash of her blaster.

Leonardo has posed:
"...That's gonna be a week of training. Maybe more if Splinter's disappointment exceeds mine when he finds out. Remember not to leave the Shuriken behind, or he'll make it a month. No traces." Leo, naturally, automatically covers up the error with a second shuriken, flinging it at the last remaining light to douse it. The last thing Donnie will see before the last light goes is sheer disappointment on the face of the eldest brother.

Only once the last light is down does Leo even consider going to work out there. And when he does, it's time to cut loose! Leo is stealthy as they come, but even he can't dim the clamor of ninjaken slicing metal mousers. Nor can he dim the sounds of exploding mousers either. But at least his feet don't make noise.

Kainashi has posed:
    Kainashi is Foot trained, but isn't nearly as stealthy as the brothers.

    THere are audiable canine snarls as she moves into the robots, sniffing out who remains -- there's a liard being dragged. Two humans who are still there, maybe a smattering of others. One who does *not* smell human.

    There is Sally Pride, that scent she knows. And Ballista -- whose cursing is as recognizable as her voice and scent, and then there were three others.

    Something similar to what she experienced before -- but for now?

    A section of grinding rail is ripped out of the concrete as Kainashi joins the fray, lighting up the dark with the spark of metal-on MOUSER.

    "Bad robot!" she snarls "/HEEL!/"

Terry O'Neil has posed:
"Yeah, well, there's people throwing stuff at us out of the shadows!" Terry exclaims, and when April's LED light comes on- "Oh no... that ... lizard dude is also getting netted." Killer Croc, well, can handle himself, but the other guy doesn't look like he's fight-worthy. He's just getting dragged by those... robots.

And that makes Terry angry. "Hold the fort, Ape, I'm going to do something super stupid. Make sure you keep that light on me."

Fortunately there's people fighting already- there's energy emissions from guns that help illuminate some. Human Terry is not nearly as super as feline Vorpal, but he /is/ an accomplished parkouriste with a not-too-shabby bag of acrobatics to pull from. When he runs, he keeps low and ready to spring. He leaps and uses whatever mousers he comes across as stepping stones or vaulting points, as they fortunately seem to be ignoring the humans (at least for now). His progress to the ones dragging Mondo, therefore, isn't as difficult, provided what faint light there is from April doesn't falter.

"Oh no you /don't/ you little shits!"- that's Terry, vaulting into the air and using his momentum to bring that metal pipe down hard across one of the mousers dragging Mondo- a certified Harley Quinn opening move. Even if he lacks the mallet to make it a true signature attack.

Michelangelo has posed:
Just when Sally thought she had the MOUSERs figured out, one of them turns on Kainishi and snaps it's jaws at the mutant dog, just before it's snapped into by her, crushed and buzzing angrilly. Some of the MOUSERs start to turn on the lights on their beaks to try to illuminate the area. As they do so, there's flashes of green, accenuated it orange, blue, and purple. No red though.

Back at the lair, Raph returns from his rounds at the Nightwatchman. There's leftover pizza in the fridge, at least?

Sally blassts through another MOUSER, and to her right, she can see where Mondo is being dragged into a nearby tunnel -- the MOUSERs trying to get away with at least one prize unless he's rescued!

Just as April was about to find herself face to face with a MOUSER, a nunchuk comes down on it and smashes it's head. "...I'm a better skateboarder than that lizard dude, right?" Mikey asks April quietly. Donnie and Leo were split, and Raph's not here to break the tie - so April will have to!

The other two brothers and Vorpal find themselves near where Killer Croc has been pinned down, the robotic creatures trying to secure it to hold it down and keep him from escaping. There's only six there. And the remaining numbers are dwindling fast with the attack on them.

Leena Danvers has posed:
"Don't tell me what to do!" Ballista yells at Sally as she smashes one of the MOUSERs with the big blade, "I wasn't even here for you, I don't know why you're here!" She's actually kind of mad that Sally is here because it'll just wind up making her look bad when she doesn't capture the lioness mutant yet again, "Where is Ray hiding anyway? I always see you but he's never out and about anymore!"

She grabs a robot and smashes it into the wall, and then does it several more times, clearly pissed off, especially when one of the MOUSERs bites through the armor on her leg, making her yelp out in pain.

Donatello has posed:
    "You could, I don't know...not tell him?" Donnie offers, hopefully. He knows it's a done deal at this point, but a guy can dream, can't he? Once the final light meets its death by shuriken, Donnie grips his bo staff. "Just a thought..."

    Donatello leaps forward with Leo, holding his bo staff with one arm extended to the side and the other providing counter-balance to aid in his super-stealthy maneuvers. MOUSERs begin flying off in this direction and that direction, briefly enjoying an opportunity to determine what kind of wood a bo staff is made of, anyway, before they meet their explodey ends. Donatello's path of destruction finds himself squaring off against six MOUSERs with his brother luckily nearby. Those keeping score at home would know that Donnie owes Leo one shuriken and Terry one mirror.

April O'Neil has posed:
April smirks at Terry just before he takes off. "Be careful!" She shouts at her yellow jacketed cousin's back. She keeps her phone up and aimed at him as best as she can to offer as much flooding light as she's able, though the phone's only got so many lumens to shine into the darkness! She watches Terry's parkour skills on display and 'wows' in mouthed realization at what her family member is capable of!

By the time that Mikey approaches her though, April is crouching down to pick up Don's shuriken - she's sat in on their training with Splinter, she knows they're supposed to pick these up.

This is when - sure enough - Mikey arrives and she looks up at him while crouched. "Of course you are!" She tells him, still holding her light up toward her cousin, probably blinding him if he looks back at her. "Now go save the day, but be CAREful!"

Donnie's shuriken is slipped into her pocket as she stands back up.

Sally Pride has posed:
"Why do you keep asking that when you know I'm not going to tell you?" Sally retorts. It's typical banter between the two by this point... And Kainashi's here too? Wow, it's like half the entire people she knows in one room.

Mousers start breaking with no immeadiately visible source, which kind of reminds her of that time with the gang, but there's not really time to think about it.

Not when her blaster makes an irritable tone and blinks a red indicator at her. What a time to be out of charge. Welp, time to improvise.

She flips the blaster to grab it by the muzzle end instead, dashing in to pistol-whip one of the Mousers trying to drag the gecko out with it like a club. "Hang on!" Then kicks at the other, more to knock it off it's feet than anything else. "Sorry, but you little ankle-biters are taking a net loss!"

Leonardo has posed:
Once the mousers start flashing lights, Leo suddenly finds himself needing to be more careful. He studiously avoids the lights, though the crisscrossing lights make that difficult. Far easier for him, however, is freeing the two captured mutants, since a sharp object is the ideal thing for cutting rope. He figures, once they're free, they'll try to escape on their own, and that'll make clean up easier.

Once the ropes are down, it's back to slicing monsters. Whoever controls these robots clearly isn't using them for positive ends. They need to go.

Kainashi has posed:
    Lights flashing, and the canine gets glimpses of the green, Ballista, Sally. the robots and Killer Croc and the lizard man, and she gives a huff, pulling down her hood, ears up as she snarls out a count in Japanese:

    "Ichi-" CRACK! "Ni-" CRUNCH

    "San!" and she goes to physically start grabbing the robots to sling them against the wall. In Ballista's direction.

    After all, hey, if there's two birds with one stone...

Terry O'Neil has posed:
Terry catches glimpses of the other fighters, in the demi-light. It's hard to tell, because he doesn't have his cat eyes on, and his ears can't distinguish a lot of dialogue in the din without his enhanced senses, but it's obvious that some of the mutants that were spectators are now also taking part in the fight. Maybe. Things are happening quickly, there's adrenaline pumping, and Terry is trying very hard to get the mousers off the captives without... you know, dying. A pipe is not as ideal as, say, a sword to cut into these things, but the blunt weapon is helping some, yes?

He'll tell himself that.

He can't quite tell who cut the netting, or when, but suddenly it looks like the captives have a fighting chance. That's good for Mondo-

But Killer Croc on the loose? That can be /bad/

He will try to grab Mondo by the arm, if he's free, "Dude, come with me before the Croc gets smashy!" because it's not safe. Harley has told him stories.

If he can manage, he will bring him and whomever is willing to follow April-wards, there where there is safety. Relatively speaking. Maybe.

Michelangelo has posed:
So this is the strangest of situations - we have Sally, Vorpal, and Leo -- all on Mondo at the same time. The gecko skateboarder looks up at the three of them in confusion. "If I got a choice, I'll go with the purrific babe." Just when you thought the puns can't get any worse. As he's saying that, one of the MOUSERs attempts to snatch onto Terry to bite down on him. It's one of the last ones left.

Mikey doesn't catch April palming the shuriken, but he's making his way into the group and comes up near Ballista as she's trying to secure Killer Croc. "Are you hurt?" he asks her, looking at her leg. Of course he's speaking in Japanese, so who knows if Ballsita can understand him, but he reaches out to lightly poke at her. "Awesome armor."

Leena Danvers has posed:
"I don't speak, uh. Whatever language you're speaking." She replies to Mikey as he comes up towards her, and pokes her, "Huh?" She turns and looks down at him, only to get beaned in the head by a MOUSER. She grumbles. It doesn't hurt but it's annoying. She stomps her foot down on top of it, crushing it to scrap circuits and metal, "Hey Sally!" She yells at the lioness, "Do you know where the hell these things keep coming from?"

Donatello has posed:
    Donatello braces himself and takes his bo staff in both hands, moving to a readied stance. Okay. Six MOUSERs webbing up the mutants. There's six robots to share. That's three robots per turtle. Awesome. Donatello readies himself for what will surely be his redemption. Donnie and his brother Leo are going to move through these MOUSERs together as one. Two pieces created as mirror images to be the inner-workings of a well-oiled machine. No two warriors would ever move in sync as well as these two. It's going to be GREAT! Just Donnie and his older brother, saving the day, having a great time.

    "Oh, come ON!" he stage-whispers to himself as he watches Leonardo cut through the entire group without him. And then there's the massive Croc, free of his netting, while the group forms around Mondo.

    "Uh, guys..." he calls over as he stands alone against Killer Croc!

April O'Neil has posed:
April is doing her very best not to be a trouble magnet in this situation. She's staying back near the entrance to the skatepark and is just sweeping her phone's camera around to record as much of this as she can, while also narrating it with a loud whisper toward her phone since all of this is likely to get uploaded to the internet later... though she'll edit the turtles out of it even if she accidently captures them on it. Sad for their fame, but it's what Splinter wants!

"Are you okay?!" April calls out to Terry into the madness.

Sally Pride has posed:
Sally catchs the motion out of the corner of her eye, but by the time she can look the net is already cut and there's a vague shape fading back into the shadows.... That looks partially familiar... but the other one used those pronged dagger-like things, not swords.

Now she's -really- getting some deja vu feelings. But that's not really important right now.

She helps get Mondo on his feet, and looks to Terry a moment.. "I've got friends like us that can keep this from happening again." And the brothers probably don't want to take strangers back to their lair. Not that she'd be aware of that.

She glances back at the big croc still being tempermental. "... Uh, he's right though, we should probably get out of here before Round 2 starts."

Sally gives Mondo a nudge to go. Then shouts over her shoulder at Ballista. "I wish I did! They're almost as annoying as the Roadkills!"

Kainashi has posed:
    When Ballista got hit with the mouser, that had caused Kainashi to give a bit of a laugh -- well, you know what they say about distractions -- and her count got knocked off. The dog mutant glances around with her big pole in hand, bent and twisted about and she looks for the Next Likely Subject. She snuffs the air a couple of times, looking about in the dimness and oddball shapes, her vision a bit better than a human's in the dark, and hesitantly, looking to the brothers over to the side and heedless of the Gotham Sewer Dweller's anger -- her tial gives a slight wag, her ears rise up and she asks: "Raph?"
