Sea monster attack!

[kore_npc]

Who: The kidnappees, rescuers, and whoever wants to wait on the beach with towels. See here for an explanation.
When: Afternoon Day 102
Where: The beach
What: The device holding the sea monster at bay has been without power for two days, and now he's... lonely. Or angry. Angry and lonely. But now he's kidnapped some new friends!

The network has been spotty, cutting in and out for a couple days now, but luckily for everyone currently in the monster's grasp, Stane happens to be standing in the middle of a decent signal area.

"The sea monster is taking people! Hurry!"

Donna is beginning to think she's a bad luck charm. Seriously. Death just seems to follow her everywhere. Oh fabulous. Maybe she's some kind of flippin' death bringer, how wizard is that?

Those tears that had been threatening to fall down run down her cheeks.

Maybe she should spend the rest of her life in solitude so no one else has to get hurt because of her.

"What about everyone else?"

"I saw Dean jump in, too, and a few others. We have to have faith that they will be recovered, too."

He looks out at the water, torn. He wants go in after Dean, but he knows that that's not where he's needed right now.

"You should both get dry clothes."

He avoids her gaze, face fixed in a frown as he looks up back towards the beast. "I dunno. I know there's others out there." But if he were honest, he wasn't sure how much use he was to them.

"It's fast and powerful. We don't have anything that can really ward it off." He wasn't typically this defeatist over it, but he really didn't know what they could do.

"Are you going back?" He looks over to Castiel.

Donna doesn't know the details of Cas and Dean's profound bond. But she knows that Dean is his friend and Dean is a good man. She knows how it's easy to be reckless and risk everything to save a friend. And she knows if Cas decides to go after Dean there's nothing she, or anyone else, can do to stop him.

In Castiel's case that's probably literally too, since he could easily overpower just about any of them if they tried to pin him down.

Donna shivers. The adrenaline is wearing off and dry clothes sound amazing. "I want to stay. To help the others..."

[happytobleed]

"I'll do what I can to get everyone back to shore. You need to get out of those clothes."

He moves away and turns back to the beach. He'll do what he can, but he's not sure what that will be as he sees a few more figures dragging themselves out of the water.

The Doctor slips his hand in Donna's. "Castiel is right; we're of no match to that thing, Donna. There's no way we could help; if anything, it'll kill us too. C'mon, now."

He hated it. This wasn't him, this wasn't the Doctor. The man who was told with a snap of his fingers, could open the TARDIS doors. The man who's name was spoken across the universe. He hated what this place had made him become, and he was horribly aware of his limitations now more than ever.

"Be careful, Cas." She feels so helpless. People put their lives in danger to rescue her. Wallie died to help her and yet she can do nothing to help the others in return. It's a bad feeling. And the fact that the Doctor seems equally defeated does little to set her mind at ease.

"Come on, Spaceman. Let's go get dried off. At least we can make sure there are extra towels available for others to use."

[happytobleed]

"I'll do my best." He nods absently and walks away. His best isn't usually very good when it comes to his own safety.
