IDK my BFF Donna?

Who: Castiel, Donna, the Doctor, Mina
Where: Donna's house
When: night of day 53
What: The Doctor asks for his friends to bring back his best mate.


The Doctor was anxious, wondering if what he's asking would singly be the worst decision he's ever made. Really, this was utterly ridiculous as he had no access to the TARDIS or anything familiar to him if something were to go wrong. If all else failed, at least he would've had the chameleon arch to rewrite her memories.... Or he'd just have to go hiding them again himself, which he really wasn't sure if he could do that again.

He was so lost in his thoughts, he didn't realize he was causing his knuckles to show white as he squeezed his thermos to death as he sat on the front steps to Donna's house. It was filled with tea, of course, as if that would make matters any more pleasant.

Let's have some friends over, yeah? You, me, Castiel, Dr. Barrett... Donna had seemed fine with the idea at the time he mentioned it in passing to her one afternoon. He just hoped this worked or else he would feel even worse than he had just a couple nights ago after an unfortunate meeting with the Hulk.

"Make a habit of sitting on peoples' front steps do you, Pretty Boy?" He had been so lost in though he must not've heard her open the door. Or if he did hear her he showed no sign of it.

"You know... a girl might mistake your doorstep brooding for stalking. I could scream for help, if you like. Or you could drag that skinny arse of yours inside. Whatever works."

"Or instead of screaming, you could beat his arse yourself," Mina said, rounding the corner and appearing in front of the house. "After all, I'm told that modern women are far more self-reliant than they were in my day."

She was dressed in her finest, her full suit with the blazer, tie neatly tied, all of her rings shining, and her fedora tilted at a jaunty angle, over one eye. If they were going to play at house party, Mina was certainly dressed for her role, though she did have her medical kit hanging off of her arm instead of a purse.

Politely, gentlemanly, she bowed her head to Donna. "Much obliged for the invitation, my dear."

Mina was certainly made to look even better with Castiel next to her, looking like he'd worn his clothes while sleeping at a bus stop for a week. His idea of looking cleaned up was checking his coat for dirt or blood and he hadn't even bothered to do that, so the bottom was tattered in the places where his admittedly dangerous pet had gnawed.

"I don't think he's stalking you, but if you're concerned, I can keep a closer eye on him." The irony of this offer was lost on him.

Poor Doctor. Not even those adorable puppy dog eyes of his could stop them from ganging up on him. "Well, I suppose I could wallop him myself, Mina, but look how skinny he is! I might break him in half. And Cas? If I get worried, I'll be sure to call you to protect me."

She smiled at her group of guests and pushed the door open all of the way. "Well you lot, coming in? Or we going to stand around on the doorstep gabbing all night?"

"After you," Mina said, gesturing grandly for Donna to lead the way. It was her home, after all. And even if they were going to invade the most intimate of her privacies, there was still no reason not to be polite.

To her, anyway.

Mina cast an amused, sideways glance at Castiel. "Darling, do remind me to teach you a bit about the art of small talk sometime."
happytobleed: (Almost smile)

[personal profile] happytobleed 2013-03-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'd prefer you didn't." There was no bite in his voice and he was almost smiling, but he had no interest in learning how to talk about the weather. It seemed like a waste of time to him. He could have pleasant conversations, but the idea of talking about nothing seemed counter-intuitive.

He stepped inside, looking around curiously. He'd been in Donna's home once before, but it had been when she'd been suffering from her headaches.

"The day I don't have a headache the whole Cape will know about it because I'll be throwing a party. Might even streak in celebration." None of them better hold her to that if their plan worked. Really, the whole cape didn't need to see her waltz across the land in her birthday suit.

She offered a smile. "But I'm not curled up under a pile of blankets, so I consider today a good day. Please, make yourselves at home. Seems John already has." Mug thief. "There's cake in the tin."

Donna sat herself down. It was kind of nice to have company. "I'm not sure if my roomie's here or not, but he'll just have to deal with it if he is."

Mina moved over to Donna. "Why don't you tell me about these headaches," she said. She set down her medical bag on a nearby table. It was all just a prop anyway. She hoped. "Perhaps I can do something for them."

She sat down next to Donna. At the Doctor's signal, not a moment before, she would begin.

Fortunately, she now had a perfect entry.

Last Castiel knew, Donna had lived alone. He would have to ask after that later. With the number of untrustworthy people showing up lately, he wanted to make sure his friends were safe.

He sat down on Donna's other side and let Mina do the talking. If anything went wrong, he would be right here to help, but he couldn't deny that Mina was better at the talking part and as a doctor, he imagined her questions would be far less suspicious.

After a moment, he let himself cast a quick glance at the Doctor.

Donna couldn't help but suddenly feel a little closed in on, like an animal being dragged off to slaughter. Was this an intervention? Is this because she told the newcomers that alien scientists might be giving people lobotomies and anal probes? Because it could be the truth!

"Oi! My dreams aren't silly! Insane and crazy and terrifying. But they're not silly." She huffed and took the cup, curling her fingers around it.

"Look, they're just headaches. Migraines. I'm fine. I'm always fine."

The nod was all she needed.

Mina dipped her head, forcing Donna to make eye contact with her. That accomplished, she reached out with her willpower, allowing a part of herself to flow into Donna's mind. Some Kindred thought of Dominate as a bulldozer. Mina preferred to think of it as a paintbrush, lightly touching the target.

After all, the mind was a delicate thing.

"You're completely at ease," she told Donna in a hypnotic tone. "You trust the three of us completely. And you want to tell us about your dreams."
happytobleed: (definitely just heard one of Dean's joke)

[personal profile] happytobleed 2013-03-24 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Castiel hesitated. Touch wasn't something that he was loose or easy with, but Donna was clearly in need of comfort and hadn't been skittish about touch so far. He rested his hand on Donna's arm, hoping that it was more comforting than awkward.

He was a little concerned about this. He didn't think that Mina would hurt Donna on purpose, but what the Doctor had told him did worry him. It was too much like Sam and his wall, though Castiel was pretty confident that if he could tear one down, he could build one that held back what could hurt Donna without holding back everything.

Part of him wondered if Sam's wall would have done this eventually, though, especially given how hard he scratched at it himself.

Donna had been so prepared to brush her dreams under the carpet. After all, they were just as the Doctor had said - silly dreams. But suddenly she found herself compelled to talk about them.

"It's wonderful and terrifying all at once. I travel with him," she pointed in the Doctor's direction. "We travel through space and time in a little blue box that's bigger on the inside - how mad is that? A box that is bigger on the inside!"

The edges of her irises started to take on a golden hue, her headache beginning to kick in. "We save people. And sometimes it feels so real, hardly like a dream at all... more like a distant memory..."
primogen_vampirate: (Interested)

[personal profile] primogen_vampirate 2013-03-24 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
The change in Donna did not escape Mina's attention. Nor did the fact that she had never seen anything quite like it. Which, of course, wasn't going to deter her, but it did put her on her guard somewhat.

"Pick a single dream," she instructed Donna. "A specific instance. And tell me about it in as much detail as you can remember."
happytobleed: (Turned to the side)

[personal profile] happytobleed 2013-03-24 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Keeping his hand on Donna's arm, Castiel glanced at the Doctor again to see if this was an expected reaction. If needed, he could delve into her mind and try to put a stop to any damage if it started to go wrong, but he didn't want to interfere if Mina and Donna were both alright.

Unfortunately for the Doctor, the 'dream' Donna decided to focus on was not one of the happier ones. The one about Agatha Christie was definitely one of her favourites, yet she wasn't ready to tell a roomful of people that she dreamed of snogging him on a regular basis - even if said snog was to save his life.

Donna appreciated the comfort Cas offered. She knew from the few times she had tried hugging him that physical contact was hardly his strong point.

"Pompeii. Volcano day. We were there. It was so real. The heat and the ash and the smoke and when I think about it, it's like I can feel it choking me, filling my lungs. And the crying and the panic and the chaos. It feels so real, like I could reach out and touch it."

Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she recalled the vivid dream.

Mina turned, briefly, to glance at the Doctor. "Tell me how you want her to remember it," she said quietly. It really didn't matter too much if Donna overheard. Mina fully intended to erase both her presence and Castiel's presence when they were done.

Assuming any of this worked at all.
happytobleed: (in pain or pooping)

[personal profile] happytobleed 2013-03-25 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
It fascinated Castiel how fragile the human mind was that even a creature like Mina could control it so easily. Of course, he could do a great deal to a human's body or mind, but he'd been made for that sort of power. He wasn't entirely sure what vampires were created for, but he didn't think it was this.

He frowned. "You intend to do this for every memory?"

"What are you lot on about?! They're just flippin' dreams! It's just in my head. All of it!" So why was she so defensive about them? Because they were her dreams and she didn't want people poking and prodding at them. Thank you very much.

She wanted to run. Run and hide and pretend everything was a okay and she was fine.

"I'm sorry, but I think I want you all to go now..."
