(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
Maybe he should just offer to take Shoka back home to the Spire, with how long it's been already. There's a clear look of worry on his expression, but he still doesn't think she'd take him up on it. Not right now. Instead, he matches her sigh with one of his own. Quieter. Softer. ]
If she really doesn't need that from you— [ He's already kicking himself for phrasing it the way he is. ] —then why are you here?
[ At least his tone is far from accusatory. There's a level of understanding, enough that he might not even need an answer. How many times did he tell himself the same thing back home? She doesn't need him, and yet he'd drop everything for her — isn't that just the joke of it all for people like them. ]
no subject
Good question.
[Suddenly she moves, drawing herself up and lurching out of the corner she'd tucked herself away into. She has no legs, but she still seems to stumble, swaying and teetering on the foot of her body as she shambles toward where she (incorrectly) thinks the nearest exit is. The skirts of her form flare out in wider, erratic shapes to right her when she comes close to falling, but her gait remains slow and unsteady.]
no subject
Hu — hold on. [ Honestly, what was he expecting. He's almost too stunned to follow after his fumble, but seeing her stumble away snaps him out of it. ] Shoka, wait.
[ Whereas before he would have thought twice about reaching for her, he does so now without hesitation. Paw gently at the shoulder of her disguise, he tries to hold her back, but more importantly, help keep her steady. ]
Look, I don't know what's going on between you two, but I know what's going on with you, and... [ He pauses with the realization that he's veering right into territory he has no right to speak on. ] You're allowed to care about her. Even if she — even if you don't think she needs it.
[ That said, Shoka does look like she needs a break from this place for a while. They both do. ]
no subject
Oh—I'm allowed? Gee, thanks for not tossing me in Pokéjail for that one, detective. For all the good it does...
[She's completely useless. Couldn't help Noelle, can't do anything now... Might as well push Bigby around, too, while she's at it. It wasn't enough that she almost got him frozen to death along with Siffrin, was it?]
no subject
[ Bigby immediately winces at himself right after. He can't do that. Not right now. Not with her. ]
... Even if she doesn't need you, that's not going to stop how you feel. Neither is punishing for yourself for it. [ Suddenly he's worried all over again. He never thought about how hard it is, watching someone close themselves off like he's so prone to do. ] Just... just let yourself have this. Let yourself care.
Maybe that's what you need right now.
no subject
What I need? [Who cares about that?] I'm not the one in a coma right now.
no subject
[ Again, there's probably a better way to put that, but when he's not looking too hot himself, it should be obvious he's speaking in solidarity at this point. ]
Shoka, it's hard. I know it's hard. [ He has to be emphatic despite his exasperation. ] You don't deserve to beat yourself up over whatever happened, and honestly? I'm not in the mood to argue otherwise. You think I'm only here for Noelle?
no subject
If you know so much, then—!
[She whirls around to face him—too fast. She isn't sure how she even intended to finish that sentence (Then why didn't you do more for her? Then you know you're just saying that? Then you know I do deserve it?) because her head spins with her, sending the words flying right out of it. Static floods the visible parts of her form, fluttering over her eyes; she lurches again, nearly careening into him before she manages to right herself.]
Then—... Then what am I supposed to do now? Other than—care...
