WHO: Mirabel and you!
WHERE: The Labyrinth, and then the city
WHEN: Jan. 19th
WHAT: Mirabel is here!
WARNINGS: Sad girl alert

[Labyrinth]

[Mirabel felt like she was in a dream.

Maybe it was a dream - she remembers posing for a family photo, and while she was still in her house something felt... wrong about it. Her biggest clue was the glowing doors in her path, none of them with names or faces attached to them.]

Casita...?

[The house doesn't answer her like it usually does. None of her family was in sight either. With a lot of hesitancy, she tries to open one of the doors.

And just like when she was little, the door fades into a solid wall before her eyes. Oh so... we're doing this again. Mirabel might have learned that she doesn't need a Gift to be accepted by her family, but there's still something... very painful about watching that glowing door fade.

She manages to open the next door, but it doesn't have her name on it - or anyone's name on it for that matter. It just leads to a room with more doors. This... isn't Casita. It's all wrong.]

Hello...? Is anyone here?

[The City]

[At some point, whether someone helps her or she gets out on her own, Mirabel finds her way to the city. It's completely unfamiliar territory, and she doesn't even know where to go or where she is. She tries to wave over the first person she sees - maybe they can tell her how to get home?
It's also freezing here. She wraps her arms around herself as she talks.]

Hola! Can you tell me where I am? Are we far from Colombia?

Threaded | Flat

[A heavily tattooed man with elf ears notices her waving and jogs over to make sure she's okay. He's barely wearing anything under his coat except flip flops. It's January. Don't worry about it.]

Sorry? [He has a fairly noticeable accent, but probably not one she would be familiar with.] Colombia? Ah... no, I can't say I know where that is.

[He glances her over.]

Wait, did you just get here?

[Bruno has been here for a few days and he still doesn't really understand what in the absolute hell has happened to him. He's avoided the gate, since he got dragged back out of there- he doesn't want to fight some insane bird lady, thanks, and has largely been wandering the city- trying and failing to find a way home. He just got his family back and he's feeling pretty damn put out that he's lost them again.

And then he hears Mirabel's voice and for a brief, horrible moment, he thinks whatever is left of his sanity has packed up and left. Adios~ But then he can still hear her calling and his legs carry him full pelt towards it- heart in his throat. If he got here, maybe she did too? Somehow.

He doesn't relish the thought of someone he loves so much stuck somewhere awful like he is, but the thought of not being alone feels selfishly comforting. Especially if it's Mirabel- she got him out of the darkness back in the encanto, it makes sense she'd do the same here, too. Just like her. ]

Mirabel?! [He's just gonna start PANIC YELLING.] Kid? Where are you? Keep shouting, I'll find you!

[How he expects them to get out again is anyone's guess, he doesn't care, he's just running. ]

[If Jun had a nickel for every time he ran into a Columbian that was lost and wasn't dressed for the winter weather this month, he'd have two nickels. Which wasn't a lot, but it was weird that it happened twice.

He was outside the coffee shop he worked at, taking his turn to shove the sidewalk in front of the store. He pauses as the girl waves him over, and even more at the question]

Colombia?

[Were this a normal scenario, he'd assume she was talking about a store or a street. But considering what she was wearing...]

Which...Colombia are you talking about? A street or the country?
