[network/open] Set During the Deep Event Prompt

[thedoctorsmate]

Who: Donna Noble
Username: supertemp
Warnings: None

Show of digital hands, who hates this?
I didn't sign up to be stuck in a flat with a psychopath, personally.
Dunno about the rest of you lot.

So, in the interest of not going insane...
Games.
Two truths and a lie.
Rules are like it sounds.
List two true things about yourself, then one lie.
Don't say what's true or not.
People have to guess that.

I'll go first.

1. I've been to a planet made entirely of emeralds.
2. My best friend has two hearts.
3. I've met Agatha Christie.

((ooc: Everyone please feel free to threadjack around, have your characters respond to each other, rather than Donna!))

[It kind of is? Was? Mirabel was taken away from her family before she could really resolve that.]

Well, tia Pepa can control the weather with her emotions. Tio Bruno can see the future. My mama can make food that heals you. And then there's all my sisters and cousins! Luisa and Isabela are my older sisters. Luisa is super strong and can lift anything, and Isabela has control over plants. My cousins Camilo can shapeshift, Dolores can hear anything, and Antonio can talk to animals!

[Sorry Donna, she comes from a LARGE family.]

[thedoctorsmate]

Wait... Bruno?
Is your Tio Bruno the one here?

[nonmagical]

Yeah! You've met him? He's the only one of my family members that's here.

[thedoctorsmate]

Yeah, I met him.
Has he always been... y'know?
Like he is.
I met Hernando...

[nonmagical]

Well... it's complicated.

[She hadn't seen him since she was 5.]

He hasn't really had an easy life.

[thedoctorsmate]

No, it doesn't seem like he has.
Is he getting help here?
I know they've got a department for therapy.
Once we get out of all this snow, it seems like he could really use something like that.

[nonmagical]

I don't... think so? I don't think he's considered it.

[Therapy was not... really an option for the Madrigals, not one that they ever considered, even though THEY PROBABLY DO NEED IT.]

[thedoctorsmate]

You might want to talk to him about it.
I dunno how old you are, but if you could convince him?
He seems like he's had a really hard time of it.
Maybe you could go together.
Make it less scary.

[nonmagical]

I'm fifteen. I'm not sure if he'd want to, but I'll see what I can do. If it helps him feel better, I'm all in.

[She's a little unsure of going herself, even though she probably needs it too.]

[thedoctorsmate]

Honestly?
He seems like a pushover.
You can probably just set up an appointment and drag him there.
Or if you need me to do it for you?

[nonmagical]

I don't really know how to set these things up. I've never... had to? Before?

[thedoctorsmate]

That's all right, then.
You let me take care of that, and I'll send you a time.
You'll just need to get him there.
What was your name, sweetheart?
I'm Donna.

[nonmagical]

Okay, I can do that.
It's Mirabel! Nice to meet you, Donna. Thank you for helping my family.

[thedoctorsmate]

Of course.
Happy to do what I can.
Bruno helped me out.
Thought I might return the favor.

[He'd pointed her in a direction, which is basically helping, and he'd clearly been mustering a great deal of courage to show her the way.]

[nonmagical]

I want to help him too. He’s my family, and he deserves to be happy.

I’ll go with him so it won’t be so bad alone.

[And she needs it too, not that she realizes that.]

[thedoctorsmate]

Right you are.
I'll give you a ring when it's all set up, Mirabel.
Until then?
Keep warm.

[nonmagical]

Thank you so much. I will.
