*The swinging door to the Staff Hallway bursts open, and out walks a very purposeful Raph. He's an ex-turtle on a mission, and it seems that mission's destination is the front door. A door he opens, and then quickly slams shut again when it appears it doesn't open to the right place.

He turns and scans the bar for someone, anyone, who could help.*

*Tim is certainly a helpful person. Oh, and look, he has a table full of weaponry. Thats a nice combat shotgun he's cleaning.*

*Raph rushes over.*

Question for you.

*Tim looks up, points the gun in the oppisite direction.*

Answer for you.

*Raph eyes the gun with a look that closely resembles distaste.*

You got any sway on the front door?

Opener.

*Tim consider.*

That means yes.

Think you can open it to the Wizard World?

*You know, an oh so conversational request considering the current climate of the bar.*

*Tim thinks for a long long moment. He weighs the options. Let raph do it, or tell him no and he goes find someone else. Hmm.*

Gimme your badge.

*Raph unfastens it from his front pocket, and is just about to hand it over to Tim, when he stops.*

Why?

Two reasons. One, so you have a way back. Two, so I can test out a spell to allow you to communicate with me while you're out there.

*Tims fingertips sparkle.*

After all, if something goes wrong, we need to know where to send the rescue party.

*Raph hands over the badge.*

So I ain't fired?

Why the hell would i fire you Raph?

*Tim turns the star over in his hands several times, the shine dulling as he does so.*

You're one of my best. But I also know the likelyhood of my stopping you from waiting until we ahve an actual plan is nill, so I prefer to make sure you go on my terms. So you sttay safe too.

Wait for what? Another cup of tea? While we're sittin' around here the trail is growin' cold!

*Tim hands the badge back.*

Keep that on you. Two taps, hold down on the second tap, say what you have to say, it works like a walkie talkie, so it'll send the whole message in one burst. I want you to keep my updated, if you find anything, anything at all, send back to us, okay? So when others get sent, they know how to track you. And when you want to come hom, just touch this to a doorknob and open up.

How do I get it to shut off? I mean, it ain't gonna do me any world of good if it suddenly goes off when I'm tryin' to be quiet.

*Raph takes the badge, turning it over in his hands before putting it in a pocket.*

*Tim turns away from Raph, and touches his own badge, muttering for a moment. Then Raph hears Tims voice in his ear, not out loud.*

"Don't worry, I thought of that. I know our staff, and silence is usually needed. Are you taking anyone with you?"

*Raph grins*

Nope. Run better alone anyway. All I need's the door.

*Tim nods.*

I'll let Bernard know you've gone ahead. Remember, update if you find anything.

*And Tim leaps from his seat, striding towards the door. His palms are placed evenly on the paneling, and his eyes close as he bows his head.*

Door. I need the Wizarding World. One man against an unknown quantity. It is story.

*There is nothing for a moment. And then the door opens quite smoothly on an empty alley way.*

*Raph claps Tim on the shoulder.*

Thanks, man. I owe ya'. An' I'll keep you posted.

*He walks through into the unknown city.*

A girl has been watching from across the room. Her face is puffy and blotched, but her jaw is set with determination. When the door opens, she immediately sets off across the room, keeping out of sight as best she can, and slips through the door after Raph.

*Tim was watching Raph leave as she moved across the room. When she was almost upon him he was turning to the left as she was passing to his right. And by the time he's turned around to close the door, shes already past him. For a moment he frowns, then brushes it off as the wind, and closes the door firmly.*

Thank you door.

*For some reason, he gets the feeling Milliways is laughing at him. He doesn't like it.*
