(Mingle Log/Open Prompts) found
WHO: Noelle, clinic staff, and you!
WHAT: Mingle logs after the rescue & opportunities to visit Noelle while she's recovering
WHEN: After the conclusion of the 'Flight and Freeze' quest, through late October
WHERE: Bottlecap Bay Clinic
WARNINGS: Hospitalization/emergency departments, recovery from severe injury, comas, themes of depression & disassociation. Any spoilers for Deltarune will be marked.
After being found, Noelle was thawed by resident Fire-types and teleported by a helpful Abra to the clinic in Bottlecap Bay. An expert in emergency medicine- an Audino referred to as Dr. Dino- and her team immediately took Noelle into the back of the clinic and didn't come out for what seemed to be hours.
When Dr. Dino finally emerges into the general waiting room, she announces tiredly that Noelle is likely to make a full recovery. Unfortunately, the Deerling in question is comatose doesn't seem likely to wake up for a while. She might be ready to visit soon, but for now, she needs careful monitoring.
1. Shortly Thereafter (Open; Mingle Log)
A. A nurse Chansey prepares some hot drinks for anyone who was waiting to hear if Noelle would be okay-- especially those who were in Icefall Lake. Feel free to rest here and decompress a bit before returning home.
B. Dr. Dino offers to take a look at any characters who were injured during the rescue operation. If your character works at the Clinic, maybe you're the one treating the injured instead to give Dr. Dino a break.
[ooc; Feel free to interact with each other in either prompt. The only limitation is that Dr. Dino requests you avoid Noelle's room for now.]
2. A Few Weeks Later (Open)
Noelle remains asleep, but Dr. Dino has declared her able to receive visitors. If you enter the room where she's resting, you'll find her curled up on a little cot and heavily bandaged. It seems she sustained several injuries from her rampage, both from being attacked and using high-power moves to attack others without training properly first. Every so often, Chansey will check her vitals and/or change her bandages.
In the corner, some gifts and 'get well soon' notes have piled up for her. If you want, you may leave something for her as well. You can also sit by her bedside and keep her company. If you talk to her, maybe she'll hear you?
At the moment you're visiting, Noelle looks...
A. Serene. Angelic, even. If it weren't for the bandaging, you might think she's just having an afternoon nap. She emits a faint peppermint scent, as always-- is that from the flower on her head, or is it just her?
B. Troubled. Her ears are down, pressed flat against her head. The flower on her head looks like it's trying to close up. Every so often, she makes a whimper or gives a faint kick to her leg as if she's trying to run. If you listen closely- very, very closely- you might hear her mutter something in her sleep. Maybe it's 'Dess'... maybe it's 'Kris'... maybe it's your name, if you were very close.
[ooc; Noelle will not wake up during threads responding to this prompt. If your character talks to her, she may or may not remember what's said to her. You can also leave a gift or a letter for Noelle if you'd like. Two or more people can visit Noelle in the same thread if you'd like this to be a mingle log as well.]
3. Approaching All Hallows' Eve (set in late October; Open unless marked)
Noelle awakened on her own. It's almost as if she waited for everyone to leave before opening her eyes. The rumor is that she sat straight up, staring intently at something nobody else could see.
Soon, word gets out that Noelle is awake. Dr. Dino wants to keep her in the clinic a bit longer to keep an eye on her, and as it turns out, Noelle struggles to walk on her own. When Dr. Dino isn't helping other patients, she helps Noelle walk around her room so she can stretch, sometimes. Chansey guards her room, both to protect her from anyone who would wish her harm (there are quite a few she fought with, after all) and to stop her from running away again.
Despite the fact that Noelle is awake, she's less accessible than before. Apparently, she doesn't want to see anyone. She seems deeply ashamed of her outburst, and aside from that, there's a fog of melancholy that weighs her down.
A. Whether you sneak in, muscle your way past Chansey, or find some other method, you get into Noelle's room without permission. She's visibly shocked to see you, but doesn't try to call for help or kick you out-- just blithely accepting whatever you plan to do.
B. (Closed except for Bigby, Kinger, Tenna, Umemiya, and Ren. NOT mandatory-- just the approved list.) If you wish to visit her and Noelle considered you a friend, she'll let you in. Sorry, Shoka and Kris, neither of you are on the list for some reason...?
With that said, she's quiet when you enter, almost giving the vibe of a broken doll. The curtains are drawn and she's still curled in on herself, only glancing at you furitively from the corner of her eye.
C. (Closed except for medical staff/helpers at the clinic.) Chansey allows you in, but you're being watched, just in case. Noelle doesn't regard you, allowing you to do whatever you came here to do.

no subject
But Noelle won't get better just because they keep asking. All they're doing is getting in everyone's way.
The silence drags on, long enough that it might seem like they're already done with this conversation... but then they look down, mumbling their words at their feet.
"... can't do anything. Sucks."
no subject
"Yeah... sure does suck. At most, all you can do is help out in the clinic like Noelle did, and give the docs more time to focus on her. Not that it's any more helpful than doing quests, but it's an idea, especially if you're going to be here more more than anyone else."
Anasui lets Kris sit with that idea first before he asks a question he wants to know.
"...Did you know Noelle from before? She your sister or something?"
no subject
... no. It helping out at the clinic. He can't see their face like this, but they're scowling at the floor. They'd rather do nothing than let something else make the effort, again, because Kris is such an awful friend they can't even do the bare minimum on their own. If they can't make that choice then it should be nothing.
But they don't say anything to that. Their opinion doesn't matter, anyway. They'll find out later what their Soul decides to do, and they'll seethe in silence until the feeling passes.
The question only further agitates those feelings, though. Who is she to them, really? Just a neighbour? Something else?
"... friends." Their voice is quiet, strained, but... they don't try to stifle the words, even if it feels wrong in their mouth. It's more than they deserve to say. "Neighbours. Used to hang out."
no subject
He nearly misses Kris' words, only able to catch it with how silent the room is. Anasui nods.
"Ah, makes sense. Someone you knew, even before this whole mess. Makes sense..." Someone Kris knew before becoming a Pokemon. He's getting the vibe that they're childhood friends but he's not sure. Anasui doesn't have any childhood friends to compare to...
"... You know why she ran off like she did?"
deltarune ch.2 spoilers here onwards probably
"Mentioned a weird dream," they say with a hint of confusion. Not the answer they were braced for... they do seem to relax a little, after that. "Something about... getting stronger. Freezing people. Telling her what to do."
... which does describe some of what's been happening recently, but... that was just a dream. Nothing like that happened back in Cyber World. Wouldn't the reason have to be something else?
no subject
"Maybe it's the dream in conjunction with something else that happened to Noelle... Or perhaps something less personal like a Pokemon move being used on her." Anasui scowls, immediately thinking of the recruited Spiritomb that had nearly killed him twice. "I know for a fact some bastard ghost Pokemon can manipulate dreams..."
no subject
It seems like a good explanation, but for some reason...
"Something else." There's certainty in their tone, even if they don't understand why that is. The answer comes too readily for them to have doubts.
... but they have no idea what that something else could be, and no further answers spring forth from their mouth. All they can do is stand there and feel awkward about insisting he's wrong and then not actually explaining anything. Why are they like this.
no subject
"You know Noelle better. Whether you know why she's like that or you just feel it's a different reason, I'll just take your word for it. There's nothing much else to go on." Man, this really was like talking to Weather Report which is equally as infuriating as it's nostalgic.
"Hmph... all we can do is just make sure her body is healthy and we keep feeding her the medication. And when she wakes up, hope she tells us why then."
no subject
It's really annoying, but they can't do anything about it. They sigh, slouching.
"Thanks for looking after her." That part they can at least say genuinely. They've been in and out of the clinic enough to know that Anasui is a volunteer. They feel pretty useless themselves, but at least the clinic is well staffed to make up for it.
no subject
"Eh, it's my job. Nothing to thank me for," Anasui says, pretending he's not a volunteer and actually works here. "Besides, I think one of Noelle's many friends would nag me to death if I didn't keep an eye on her."
"... Kris, right? It would be more work if you ended up in the clinic too, so look after yourself." Anasui steps aside. He'll let Kris leave if they want or continue talking. He doesn't mind either way.
