[ America stares at the device for a split second after it comes on, like she's still trying to think of how to word herself. Once she starts, though, she just keeps going. ]

Anyone know a Clara? She's got some umbrella this brat wants back.

That's just a start, though. This kid, with a fox mask, told me some pretty weird things I'm still trying to put together. I feel like Five probably knows more about this than I do.

He said he's got a friend he's mad at. Someone who said there won't be people from here-here much longer. He told me some stuff to get back at him, I guess? But it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The part that did make sense was him saying he, his friend who he didn't name, kind of leaves cast-offs of himself in places to prevent the water from getting him. Anyone know about that, the water chasing someone? Looking for them. The castoffs seem to be allowing him to get away from the water because it goes after them.

[ Look, she's still trying to make sense of a lot of the conversation. Maybe everyone else out there can help her. She's not even bothering to hide this, in her confused tone, and frustration. She also isn't entirely sure how to filter. One-on-one conversations, sure, but not filter. She's bad at filtering her mouth, too. ]

I'm guessing this means we can force his hand to make more cast-offs? I asked if we could stop him, but the kid said we can't. So he wasn't much help with that.

[OOC: PLEASE threadjack, threadjack away as far as I'm concerned, because America has very little insight to what she's been told and needs all the help. The original thread, for ooc purposes, is here since what she interprets might not be the whole of it.]

You don't have to bribe me, it's him I don't trust.

That umbrella was given to me by him, so I think he should come and get it from me? Or I can give it to him. Not because I don't want us to have information, but like I said...I don't trust him. Or generally anyone from here.

I was sick, he put the umbrella over me, and I got better. I have no idea how that plays into why he wants it, but if it helps us?

[ She has a healthy dose of skepticism and wariness about what all of this means, what's happening. ]

It would be a helluva lot better if we knew what he wanted it for.

[ What if he needs it to help them? She wishes the Doctor were still here, to tell her what to do, or help her figure it out. She would gladly give the umbrella to him and let him deal with this if she could. Now she just has to do her best. ]

Yeah, he's a stubborn kid and vague with whatever he says. I'm gonna talk to a few others and then, I dunno. We'll probably wind up meeting him with a committee of people or something.

Thanks for putting this out there.

I'm glad you're okay. I mean, as far as 'okay' goes here.

That's why I'm really unsure about giving the umbrella back. If he can make us sick, and he left me the umbrella, it seems like a...I dunno. Gift?

Maybe he didn't know or think he'd need it back.

[ Rubbing at her face, Clara chews at the inside of her cheek for a second before making a decision. ]

I think I should tell you exactly what happened when I met the Child, just to see if there might be anything that overlaps. Feel like meeting in person?

[ Sending quick directions to the space she's sharing with Red, Clara considers the face in the video; just a kid who shouldn't have been brought here. None of them should have been to be clear, but kids? She really can't stand the base facts about this planet. ]

Take your time, I know you're talking to people, and I'll be here, waiting outside. Do some of my best thinking without a roof over my head. I'll see you soon.

[ When America does arrive, she'll see Clara sitting with the unremarkable black umbrella across her lap, staring at it like a snake about to strike. ]

Pretty silly, isn't it?

[ She holds it out for America to hold if she wants because it really is a seemingly normal umbrella. ]

The only thing I know it does for sure is cure a specific illness. But none of us are sick, so him wanting it back is sort of worrying. I can't tell if he wants it to protect himself from something that might happen, or if he wants it to help us somehow. That's why I need to talk to him.
