WHO: Pepa Madrigal
WHERE: Labyrinth and then the city
WHEN: April 16th
WHAT: Another Madrigal appears!
WARNINGS: n/a




The Labyrinth:

[Pepa does not understand what's going on. The last thing she remembers is being surrounded by her family. Happy. Safe

And now she was huddled in an unfamiliar building while a hurricane raged outside the doors. She assumes it's her doing. The weather usually is. So she's frantically petting her hair as she murmurs to herself.]

Clear skies... clear skies... clear skies...

[Was her family here somewhere? She had to get this under control and find them.]


The City:

[Maybe someone finds her and helps her out. Or maybe she finally plucks up the courage to brave the hurricane and escape on her own looking for her family. Either way, Pepa is in the city now. With a phone and some instructions.

Soaking wet from a hurricane, shaken up from her ordeal and very lost.]

What is going on??

[He catches the cloud- hard to miss. It's been so long and there had been such a distance put between them, so he dithers for a moment, before putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. Not trying to stop the weather from happening, far from it, just being...there. A presence for her. ]

Well, one of them is called August- he can see the future too...kind of. He uses tarot cards. We get together with this other kid who can see the future to try and work out what's coming in this place. It's...kinda nice. Being able to talk about it.

You found other people with the gift of vision? Are they people from this world? Or are they like us? From other places?

[She's still getting her head around it but... she reaches out to cup his cheek.]

Ay, I'm so happy for you, Brunito. You deserve all the happiness in the world. You know that, don't you?

[wedonttalkabout]

I have! Both of them are from here, it's just me that's from...not here.

[Aww, Pepa. He manages a tired, nervy little smile.]

Gracias, mi hermana, I'm trying to uh...get used to that idea. It's a work in progress. So do you.

[weatherforecast]

You'll tell me more about them, si? I've been missing a lot of things. And I could use some good news.

[wedonttalkabout]

Sure! Arthur's pretty new to it, he's a kid- about Camilo and Mirabel's age! He's getting his footing, but her trying. August, he's a friend of mine, he sees them through these tarot cards. He's been helping me with telling people what I see? Been passing it on for me so I don't have to...y'know-

[He waves his hands vaguely to try and encompass all his issues in one gesture.]

It's made it so much easier. Not having to directly tell people myself.

[weatherforecast]

They sound lovely. I'm so happy you have people who understand, hermano.

[She squeezes his hand. Really. It does her heart good.]

Something good has come from... all of this.

[wedonttalkabout]

Thanks, it's...really nice. To have people who get it?

[He'll return the little hand squeeze.]

It is, just small victories, you know?

Sometimes the little things make a big difference.
