Hey Donna.

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

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

[stopbleepingme]

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

[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.

[coyote_walking]

Well, that's the other reason.

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

[leathered]

Stay put, you.

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

[stopbleepingme]

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

[stopbleepingme]

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

text;

[stopbleepingme]

You can't just order me about you know.

[coyote_walking]

Yeah. And stop thinking.

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

[iwasherefirst]

Everybody's scared. Giving them some stability should help

[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. ]

[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?

text;

[stopbleepingme]

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

[stopbleepingme]

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

[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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[leathered]

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

[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.

[stopbleepingme]

Ooh, or decorative plastic clings!

text;

[stopbleepingme]

Oh, but I'm the one worried about.

[stopbleepingme]

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

[iwasherefirst]

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

text;

[leathered]

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

[coyote_walking]

Thanks, Donna.

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

[uncounted]

Right. I'll be right on then.
