WHO: Mirabel and the network
WHERE: In her room
WHEN: A few days after the event, late at night
WHAT: Mirabel has some questions
WARNINGS: Maybe near death mention? Possession talk.

[It’s been a few days since the fae realm ordeal. Mirabel’s learned a few things. One, she’s still furry. Two, she can’t sleep. Not after… everything that happened. She doesn’t want to talk about it, not really. But she really needs to sleep. So she has a late night question for the network.]

I’m having problems falling asleep. Either I can’t fall asleep or I keep having nightmares. Is there something I can do so I can get some sleep?

[And then she has another question. She’s very careful about asking this one, so she locks her second question from the rest of her family.]

So I’ve been reading up on possession. [A lie.] It seems like a pretty scary thing to go through. Can anyone tell me more about it? Like… what happens if it happens to you?

[A pretty innocent question, right? She hopes no one sees right through it.]

[Nyquil… she doesn’t think they have that in the house. They never really needed it when she has a mom with healing food powers.]

I’ll see if I can get some…

I’m all right. Just dumb nightmare stuff keeping me awake. It’ll probably stop soon enough.

[It has to stop… right?]

[oathkeeper]

i mean yeah, if you're having nightmares about that sort of think i don't blame you.

plus with all the crazy stuff that's been happening.

you should try to get some rest whenever you can!

[nonmagical]

Thank you, I'll try. It's been a really crazy week... well, for me it's felt more like a really crazy month.

[oathkeeper]

no doubt, i don't know what's been happening but everything was normal until all those gates started show up...

[nonmagical]

Were you around for all the fae craziness?

[oathkeeper]

uh. yeah. big time.

i was one of the people that was kidnapped.

[nonmagical]

Me too. It wasn't so bad at first, but it was really dangerous towards the end...

Definitely wouldn't recommend being kidnapped again.

[oathkeeper]

Yeah, I'd be okay with that never happening again.

Uh... And the fae? They gave me wings too. It's uhhh. A Thing.
