I don't know how to check... I didn't even know he has a tracker.

[Toby rubs her eye, worry wearing her down.]

I know he put trackers on the rest of us... I'm gonna make some coffee, I can't think straight.

[She drops into the sewers, rushing through the main entrance into the common area.]

Yo guys! You won't believe what-

[She doesn't find the others, but her eyes land on a... bird yokai? She's never seen or met them before. She stands there just staring at them.]

Mhm...

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

A month or two, I think? I'm not sure... Big Mama messed with my head a couple weeks ago.

[She tugs her wing feathers, chirping quietly.]

He didn't say where he was going, just that it was a mission. I think he mentioned training?

[She drops into the sewers, rushing through the main entrance into the common area.]

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby nods.]

Indeed.

[Her expression turns contemplative.]

So I'm assuming you haven't heard from Donnie? He's been away for a while... I'm worried.

[She drops into the sewers, rushing through the main entrance into the common area.]

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby smiles shyly, returning the handshake.]

The guys have told me a lot about you. I apologize if I surprised you, I didn't see you approaching.

[She gestures to her missing eye, her smile turning wry and her crest going flat against her head.]

Raph is also on a mission but should be back soon. I'm not sure where Mikey and Leo are.... or where Cass and Erin are.

[She drops into the sewers, rushing through the main entrance into the common area.]

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

I'm- I'm Toby. I'm Donnie's-

[She hesitates. Donnie's girlfriend? Partner? Chosen?]

Friend. I'm Donnie's friend, [she finishes, feeling a strange grief.] He's on a mission right now.

[She drops into the sewers, rushing through the main entrance into the common area.]

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby startles, whipping around to see the new human out of her remaining eye. She suddenly feels very self conscious of her missing eye.]

Oh-

[She stares at April for a moment, feathers puffing up defensively.]

Hi?

[She drops into the sewers, rushing through the main entrance into the common area.]

[She hums, a mystified expression on their face.]

Spooky...

[A mischievous smile grows on her face as she gets an idea.]

Hm.

[Leo's in the medbay with Toby and Erin, three of them talking and keeping each other company. He's sitting in a chair not too far away from Erin to make sure that if anything happens, he's in close proximity.]

Do you guys know what you're gonna go as for Halloween?

@mad-dog-red @erin-trees @toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby hums from where she's perched on the back of a chair, preening her feathers.]

I'm going to be completely honest with you, I don't have any clue what you're talking about.

@mad-dog-red @erin-trees @toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby nods, frown fading.]

They work as expected. And there's no side effects I could see, but I'll need your help with making sure they work as you need them to.

[It has been 13 hours since Erin passed out. She wakes up on a cot confused with her heart still beating slow but faster than before. She looks around, her eyes still adjusting to the lighting and surroundings. She tries to touch her head but immediately pulls away, wincing at the pain. But it wasn’t just her head that hurt like a bitch, almost everything was hurting. After a few moments, Erin decides to call out to anyone that was in the room with her.]

…Hello.?

@hamat0leonard0 @cassandra-j0n3s

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby's brow furrows.]

But I'm-

[She growls, sounding frustrated.]

Forget it. I figured out how to replicate your potions.

[Toby stands off to one side, tugging on her feathers. Suddenly she blurts-]

Why did you-

[She shuts her mouth, clicking, and shrinks in on herself.]

Never mind.

@hamat0leonard0 @cassandra-j0n3s

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby freezes, blinking repeatedly before tentatively returning the hug.]

Hey, Erin...

[After a moment, she tightens the hug.]

'm sorry... you okay?

Just worried about everything, I suppose...

[Leo had been lying in his bed when he was struck with the realisation that he needs to relearn how to wield only 1 sword. And he needs to learn how to fight with just 1 arm. He finds himself walking into the dojo, almost instantaneously starting to train.]

--

[It's been almost 4 hours since he entered the dojo, and he's been training non-stop. Maybe he should take a break ... No. No, she shouldn't. They need to keep training. Keep training.]

[Keep training.]

[So they do. And he's doing perfectly fine. Of course he is. Why wouldn't he be? This is Leonardo Hamato we're talking about.]

[Their movements are extremely repetitive and he's going on autopilot. He only snaps back to reality when the world starts spinning and they trip, collapsing on the ground. They shake their head and sit up. They use their sword to help themself stand up, staggering slightly. Maybe he should take a break.]

It's just one dizzy spell. You're fine.

[He's fine. He's fine! So she resumes her training.]

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

[Toby nods, satisfied with his response.]

Thank you for hearing me out. Hopefully Donnie can come up with a prosthesis for you.

[A troubled expression falls over her face.]

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

Doing exactly what you're doing now.

[She sighs, tugging her feathers gently.]

I know it wasn't my fault. I was being controlled by the bracelet. Big Mama forced me to train nonstop for a week before I went to fight. By the time I got to the arena, I was exhausted. I made a mistake.

[Nodding towards the mat, she frowns.]

You stumbled, just now? That was how I lost my eye. A moment of weakness borne of exhaustion. In the split second before I could recover, my opponent stabbed me.

@toby-the-crow

[toby-the-crow]

[Quick as a flash, Toby darts forward and trips Leo. As he falls, she grabs his shell and covers his left eye with her hand. Her voice is suddenly cold as ice.]

Would you like to know how I lost my eye, Leonardo?
