(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
...I went to jail because I killed my girlfriend and the bastard who she cheated on me with. The police never found all the bits I disassembled because I wanted them to never be together again. And since then, I've killed other people and hurt them in horrific ways. Because I needed to deal with them. I'm a terrible person.
[There is a point to him admitting this to Noelle that isn't to freak her out but Anasui doesn't get to it. Instead, he pauses, wanting to get a read on what Noelle thought.
Then, his voice softens, and Anasui posits a question to respond to Noelle's earlier one.]
You, sitting right here, right now... Do you want to keep hurting others?
no subject
No.
But that doesn't change what I did before. And I don't... I don't always know if it will be my choice. [She doesn't elaborate. She doesn't know how.]
no subject
Getting locked up isn't going to help though. If you've hurt people, you have to make amends. If you keep thinking about how to hurt people, you have to learn how to curb it. Curb the urges and your thoughts. Simple, but definitely not easy.
[Anasui pauses, letting his words sink in. Letting her protest. Then... he asks her firmly...]
What do you mean, 'it won't be my choice'? Have you been controlled before too?
no subject
Curb the urges... curb her thoughts. (Are her thoughts even her own?) And then his question...]
I... I don't know. I mean. You'd probably think I'm crazy.
no subject
Nothing you've said so far has sounded crazy to me. [Which is the truth, though Anasui knows he's not the best metric.] Tell me your truth. I'll let you know if it sounds crazy or not.
... But if it helps... Just know that I've been controlled by someone before too. I was forced to act against my will because some bastard wanted to hurt my... friend. [Friend. He never considered Weather a friend before he died but Anasui can't figure out any out any other way to describe him.] And I've seen and heard a lot of weird shit in my life. I'll believe just about anything you say.
deltarune ch2 weird route spoilers
... I thought it was a dream. I woke up in this magical world with my, um... friend. I guess. [She brushes past that stumble quickly.] They kept telling me to use my new powers to freeze enemies. So I kept doing it, because... because I didn't know. It didn't seem real. And they just wanted to protect me, right? They... they just wanted to help me get stronger.
But they kept asking me to do... worse things. And I couldn't say no. Even when they passed out, I could still hear their voice. No, I mean, this voice that wasn't theirs but was mixed with theirs all the same. All-consuming, and... then I... I...
[She can't finish.]
no subject
Yeah... It was like that for me too. I wanted to say something else, do anything else, but I had to follow that voice no matter how much I didn't want to. [At least for Anasui, he knew at the time that it was his enemy controlling him. For Noelle, it seems so... abstract. It didn't seem like she had Stands in her universe and yet something was using her friend as a mouthpiece and Noelle as a weapon. Anasui shudders to think what could have that power.]
... Do you still hear that voice now? Have you heard it at all while you've been a Deerling?
no subject
... I liked it. I really liked feeling strong. I liked not being anxious anymore. I liked having someone to please, even, I... guess. [Even with her new friends, she's been so lonely ever since Dess vanished. Ever since Kris stopped talking to her.] And now she's gone and I'm just ... here.
no subject
[Anasui has been trying to avoid thinking about the festival at Skull Town since he didn't like the idea of being controlled again. But as she goes on, Anasui gets a bit of a clearer picture.
It takes him a moment to think of a response that isn't 'Froslass is a bitch'. But when he speaks, Anasui sounds a bit more firm.]
You are here. You want to feel strong but you don't want to keep hurting others. So what are you going to do about it? Because wasting away and letting that tension build up inside you isn't the answer.
no subject
... It's not like she can go back now.]
Maybe I should train. That's what people do here, right? Like it's a role-playing game. I could learn how to control my powers. Or... something. It sounds stupid when I put it like that.
no subject
[Anasui pauses. There's something in her words that trigger a faint memory, as if he recognises what (who?) Noelle's talking about, but he can't quite place it. Maybe it's something he should ask later. For now, Anasui is content with not knowing.]
Hmph, I never played many games as a kid... At least, not RPGs. But what you're saying isn't stupid. If you don't practice a skill, you can't get good at it, no matter how naturally talented you are.
[Anasui sighs and shakes his head.]
...I usually train in the mornings by the edge of the forest, not too far from the Archives. I don't like holding back, so I try stay away from others unless we're training together. That being said, I don't particularly care if I have a partner. As long as they're willing to take things seriously, got that?
no subject
no subject
Hmph. I've spent enough time here. I have to go back to my rounds but I'll be back to clean up whatever you leave me. [He does give her a little smile though.] If you want to show your gratitude, take a bite to eat and your medicine. You'll need your strength if you're going to train.
