Hey Donna.

Don't worry about the store till this all clears up. Half the inventory's in shattered pieces on the floor.

[stopbleepingme]

Hate to say it, but I don't think anyone's shopping at the moment, love.

[coyote_walking]

Well, that's the other reason.

I'm not going into work anyway, so...

[stopbleepingme]

It'll be all right, Mercy. You've just-- you've just got to keep moving.

[coyote_walking]

Yeah. And stop thinking.

If I can just tire myself out enough that I can't think...

[stopbleepingme]

Hate to say it, but sometimes that's the way of it, isn't it? If you need help, don't stray from the Welcome Center. We've got lots to do to keep a body busy.

[coyote_walking]

I hear you.

Thanks for the idea. Maybe I'll come by to help out later.

I'm not really the best company at the moment.

[stopbleepingme]

I understand. Been snapping at anyone looks at me too long lately. Offer's open, though! Bad company and all.

[ Just a small pause. ]

You don't have to be alone. You've got friends, when you've have enough time to yourself.

[coyote_walking]

Thanks, Donna.

It's nice to be reminded that I have friends - good people who care about me.

Don't know for sure. Doctors are working on it. I'll bring what I can find to the Welcome Center.

[stopbleepingme]

Tell them to work harder. The more people show up, the more things keep shattering.

[iwasherefirst]

We need to get bandages too. I hadn't thought about people cutting themselves on it.

[stopbleepingme]

Good idea. I've been cleaning it all up as best I can, but there are just so many people. Too much panic.

[iwasherefirst]

Everybody's scared. Giving them some stability should help

[stopbleepingme]

A little privacy, at least. Never thought I'd see the day we're scavenging for blankets just to get a shower.

[iwasherefirst]

Might be able to find some drapes and the like too. I'll keep an eye out

[stopbleepingme]

Didn't think they'd just up and let everything go glass.

[iwasherefirst]

Would've stocked up on Windex if we had.

[stopbleepingme]

Ooh, or decorative plastic clings!

[iwasherefirst]

That would've made this a good deal more fun. Could try some of that car window paint.

[leathered]

Stay put, you.

[ He doesn't want to worry about Donna getting into the Sand City. ]

text;

[stopbleepingme]

You can't just order me about you know.

text;

[leathered]

Can't be bailing you out, either.  Go take care of Rose, would you?

[ And he can tell Rose to take care of Donna. Problem solved! If you're a Time Lord with ridiculously high opinions of yourself. ]

text;

[stopbleepingme]

As if Rose can't take care of herself.
Where've you got yourself off to, anyway?

text;

[leathered]

I'm on the sand side.  Fixing a car.

text;

[stopbleepingme]

Oh, but I'm the one worried about.

text;

[leathered]

No need to worry about me either.  We'll get it sorted soon.

[uncounted]

Are you at the Welcome Center? Is there anything I can help with?

[stopbleepingme]

Heading back now, yeah. What are you good at? Any chance you've got a decent supply of blankets?

1/2

[uncounted]

I'm [ ... ] not good at anything, really, and I don't have more than a few blankets but I'd like to help out anyway I can if I can.

[uncounted]

If that makes any sense at all. I'm sorry.

[stopbleepingme]

Oh, nothing to worry about. I'm Donna, and I'm not good at anything either. Can you make tea?

[uncounted]

Molly Hooper. Hi. And I can make tea, yes.

[stopbleepingme]

Brilliant. We can always use more tea. And if you've got any supplies like blankets or bandages we can use those, too.

[uncounted]

Yes, okay. I could ask about to see if the others have any as well?

[stopbleepingme]

It couldn't hurt. Thank you so much.

[uncounted]

No! No, thank you. I wasn't sure what to do with all this going on. I'm glad I can do something to help.

[stopbleepingme]

See, there. You're hardly useless! We'll keep an eye out for you, I'll be the loud redhead -- hard to miss.

[uncounted]

Right. I'll be right on then.
