[ 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.]

Maybe he'll give better information if we return it?
no subject
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.
no subject
[ Wait. What if he can? Her voice sounds concerned. ] Can he? Is it a really special umbrella?
I can tell you where he expects it to be returned to.
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
He wasn't very open about answers. I didn't think to ask about why he wanted the umbrella back. He was really stubborn about it, too.
no subject
Thanks for putting this out there.
no subject
But, do you have a way to keep from getting sick? Someone else said he can make people sick.
I feel fine, if that helps.
no subject
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?
no subject
I don't think it was a gift if he's asking for it back. Either he needs it, or maybe he regrets giving it. That could be a thing, too.
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
Sure. Just tell me where you want to meet.

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. ]
Action
I'll be there soon.
[She shows not long after, walking at a normal pace, she slows when she sees the umbrella.]
Is that it? The thing that's caused so much fuss?
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
It would be, if he didn't want it so badly.
Yeah. You would have to talk to him. [ She keeps staring at the umbrella as she hands it back. ] If he needs protection, what does that mean for the rest of us?
