(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.

[Feel free to discuss another prompt with me at
no subject
Still... that doesn't sound very convincing. Is she... really fine?
Well, she has to be, right?! She's awake! What else could it mean! So... why does Kris sound so...
... glooby?
Is it because of him? It- it can't be, right? Even after everything, Kris said they were fine! They're friends now, right? Right?!
His smile doesn't waver, but something about this bothers him.
"Kris... did you not go yet? I-I'm not holding you up, am I? Or maybe..." They're blind now! He remembers! "Oh! Were you trying to get inside? Don't worry, we can go together! I'm sure Noelle would love that!"
no subject
No No No No No No
They hiss the word out through clenched teeth, but it's not enough to stop them from saying it. Sure. Why not. They'll just pop in and say hi and be extremely normal about all of this.
Why did they even try? Once again, their body starts to move on its own. They turn back towards the clinic, dragging their feet with every step like a little kid throwing a tantrum.
... but they can't even do that, can they? Because Tenna knows them. He won't see this as a funny quirk of theirs like everyone else. He knows what they're like, and he'll figure out something is wrong with them if they keep trying to fight it.
They try to relax, feeling all the more nauseous for it. Glooby would be an understatement. They look like they might throw up just from the stress.
no subject
Something is definitely wrong. They look like they're going to be sick. Tenna's first instinct is to keep smiling, and pretend like nothing's wrong, but... that's not going to work anymore. No, he can't just keep pretending everything is hunky-doody, can he? That'll just end up the same as last time. He... he has to act!
"Whoa there, wait up," he says, before they're able to enter, his appendage landing on Kris' shoulder. "You look like you're marching to the gallows! What's wrong?" He gives them a smile, trying to project kindness. "You can tell your old pal Tenna! We... we're friends, right? Friends can tell each other when they're feeling glooby!"
The please say we're actually friends is unsaid, but Kris probably knows Tenna well enough to know it's implied. He doesn't mean for it to be, but it still is, sort of.
no subject
... it feels like, if they wanted to, they could get away with staying silent. But their mouth moves anyway, voice quiet and hoarse and exhausted beyond measure.
"I'm a bad friend."
To Noelle, or Tenna? It might as well be both. They're a bad friend just in general. And Tenna should know, having seen a glimpse of what Kris is really like. They threatened him, used him, lied to everyone the entire time...
"Doesn't wanna see me. I'd make her upset."
mfw tenna tries to comfort you and makes it about himself
Their words, however, are not what he expected, and he gawks in surprise.
"K-Kris! What makes you say that?" he stutters, unmoored. "You're not a bad friend! Far from it! You can be a bit, er, quirky sometimes-" to put it lightly! Kris has been acting really weird lately, and honestly, they're kind of scary sometimes, "-but who isn't! Right?" He forces a grin. "I mean, look at me! I was the worst! I attacked you all, and I went back on our promise, but you all still helped me and wanted to be my friend!" Probably. Maybe. He isn't sure, most days. "I... I can't believe Susie was so kind to me, after everything, haha!"
There's a pause, before he continues.
"I wouldn't know what you could've done to make Noelle- sweet, kind Noelle not want to see you!"
no subject
He wouldn't know. He doesn't know anything at all.
"Ignored her." This time, the words have to be forced out. They don't want to talk about this. "Years. Stopped talking."
... they already know what he'll try to say next. They suck in a breath, focusing their energy, willing themselves to finish the thought on their own.
"Don't want to. She's right. I never cared about her, not when it mattered."
no subject
Tenna's sweating now. The smile on his face is trembling- he's trying very, very hard to keep it up. If he still could, he'd be trying very hard not to shrink, either.
"I... that is, I... she..." He's stumbling over his words. For once, he doesn't know what to say.
Is that why... Noelle stopped coming? Because Kris... ignored her? What exactly... are they implying here?
Tenna... can understand that feeling. He knows what it's like to be abandoned by everyone- by the people you love most. He was so, so very alone for so long...
But- but! He has hope now! (He does! Really! Nothing can stop him anymore, haha!!!) Kris clearly doesn't, so he'll just have to- he just has to-
"Well, Noelle told me that she misses the days where all of you were together!" Tenna belts out, full of conviction. "If she didn't want to see you, then she certainly wouldn't have called them the best days of her life!"
Yes! He's got this! He's got this after all!
"I think that she'd be happy to see you! As long as she hasn't said that she doesn't want to, I don't believe it for a second!"
no subject
"Things are different now. Can't always go back."
... even if they want them to. Even if everyone does. Not everything can be fixed with just wanting.
They slowly lift their head, following the hand on their shoulder to look to where Tenna is. Their expression is strained, as if there's something else they want to say, but... they can't. They can't.
They swallow the words, staring down at their feet again.

Hope can only do so much.
He tries, he tries so very hard to keep smiling, to give Kris a reason to smile, too, but what can he say to that? Their expression says it all; nothing that he says will change their mind.
"You're not wrong. I know that," he murmurs. "That's what you and Susie taught me earlier, but is it so wrong to try?"
He doesn't 'got this' after all, does he? Oh, what is he even good for?
"If... if you really don't want to," he says quietly, pulling his appendage away, "I can't force you. I- I won't force you. But..." he lifts his head, attempting another weak smile. "I really do think Noelle would be happy to see you. It would..."
Should he even say it?
"... It would make me happy, to see you two getting along again, at any rate!"
no subject
"... she would be." The words crawl up their throat, out of place after everything else they've said. It still wants them to try, too. Spitefully, they snap their mouth shut.
... they don't try to change the wording, though. Maybe, some part of them... thinks she'd be happy, too. If they could be friends again.
They let that thought linger, still staring down at the dirt. Eventually, they unclamp their jaws.
"Could you say hi to her for me?" Compromise.
sorry for the delay! Brain fog happened
... Though he quickly wilts when Kris speaks again. Oh. Nevermind, then.
"... I... really can't convince you to come, can I?" he murmurs quietly, before shaking off his gloobiness, forcing a smile. "I mean- of course I can say hi for you! That's the least I can do!"
Still, the facade dims quickly enough, smile wavering.
"But... whatever is going on between you two... I hope you'll make up soon." It breaks his heart to see Kris like this. It really does.
no worries!
"Sorry," they mutter, because they can't say they ever will. Whatever they once had with Noelle is gone. There are some things they can still fix, but this? ... if they're lucky, if they do everything right, maybe they can at least make her happy again. But it won't be because Kris is there with her.
They lift their face once more, tilting their head slightly to acknowledge the bug at their side. Their feet stay rooted in place.
"Go on. I'll be fine."
no subject
He wishes he could fix it. If only he were just better- more fun, more entertaining, if only he could be what they need. He tries so, so very hard.
He waits a moment longer, just to see if Kris'll change their mind... but they're not going to, are they? He wilts a little.
"Well- I'll see you later then, Kris?" he says- though it's more like a question. A plea that they'll actually come to see him, later.
