[She'd met brits, so 'mates' could mean one of two things to her, but she was going to assume that it was the closer of the two until something proved otherwise. Giggling a little, she rested her chin on her knuckles and bobbed her head briefly.]
Then I am glad that the two of you have each other here, rather than having to be apart, even if this place is awful. It's hard to deal with alone.

Oh, it's not so bad here. A just a bit of trouble in-between.
[Is the cheeky remark. The only awful thing is staying in one place and no Tardis and then a silent and strong, 'thank you' because the month without Rose was hard. Though he does miss Natasha]

It hasn't been too bad lately, at least until the dream world in the dream, where I'm unsure what the point is other than to make glowing coins? Maybe we'll get to buy a ticket home with them?
[She doubted it.]
But it's much easier to at least have someone you trust. That much I know.

[Ten blows his cheeks in frusration]
Have you ever read Charles Dicken's A Christmas Story? In that the main character Scrooge is also buried with one coin each eye. In some Earth mythology that goes back centuries, they believed that a coin in each eye was to be buried with the dead or you couldn't pay Charon the boatman who would ferry the dead across the river Styx and then you were doomed to stay on the shore of Hades for ever.
No. Don't think it's a way home but it is paying for something.
[There's a cheeky grin about Rose and how it is easier with her here now]
Hope we can bring the same to you.

I have not, but that's ... both a little disturbing and at the same time I suppose it makes some sense. At least as far as old legends go. I wonder who our Charon will be.
[She bobbed her head in response to the other comment. She was relatively sure that she was already glad to have met them both.]

You should. Charles Dickens, Shakesphere and J.K. Rowling absolutely brilliant writers!
[A mouth pop, he'd say go to the library sadly the books there are weird]
I could recite it. Know his books by heart. And the Muppet version.
[A pause and more serious note]
Could be a what with this place.
[Then on a more happy note]
I'm glad, me too.

Sort of - thar televised puppet shows with the puppets with a vast height range and the group of them have adventures and the majority are anthropomorphism creatures.
Christmas Carol - No. Takes place at Christmas a very old human tradition. Has to do with greedy human and haunting visits from the spirits at Christmas.
Why, what's wrong with Santa Claus?

I'm afraid much of your explanation makes little sense, but it still sounds like it was fun. And yes, hauntings sound nothing like this strange "Claus" figure. I'm afraid the stories I've heard of that one, while cute, make very little sense to me.
This sounds like a morality play of sorts. That I understand.

It's Muppets. Not supposed to make sense. [Cheeky chin] That and something created by human beings who are extremely remarkable with being creative.
Well, Santa Claus is complicated. Thar was a person called Saint Nicholas who was known long after his death of being generous to the poor. Practically to the children.
Then in 1823, Clement Clake Moore, wrote his famous poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas that he wrote based on all sorts of lore around the Earth and different cultures which became Santa Claus.
Humans are remarkable and thar creativity.
[There's a head nod and The Doctor looks more serious and clears his voice which changes to story mode]
Marelely was dead to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker and the chief moaner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he choose to put his hand too. Old Marelely was as dead as a door nail....

Ah, so it is like that then. I see. Interesting...
[When he started in, however, she went silent and started to listen to the story with almost rapt attention. Honestly? The story was interesting, even if she had to think about a couple things while he went through the tale, occasionally asking him to pause so she could figure out a word for things she had no knowledge of.
When the story came to an end, likely hours later, she was sighing.]
mmmm I owe you a drink for this. Thank you. You did help make my day there. Far more than thanks for you...for our friend, mmm? But, perhaps you should rest your voice?

[As The Doctor tells the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge - does a narrater voice, a Scrooge voice, ghost Marley voice, and some other voices. Which he may be trying to show off his vocals.
At the end there's a rather cheeky grin and Father Christmas twinkle in those eyes. Which then becomes a bit of a cute pout]
You don't want to hear the song?
[Which someone had been resisting adding the Scrooge song from The Muppets into the actual novel]

[There's a huge grin from The Doctor before clearing his throat and sings in his voice a certain song and completely enjoying himself doing so]
[She'd take it with a little chuckle.]
This has been enjoyable Doctor, but I should get some rest. These coins will not make themselves glow on their own, after all. [A wink of her own.] You're welcome to join me among the dreams, but I suspect you have a friend to watch over and keep out of trouble.
See you around? Thank you for the bedtime story.

You never know - might just find me in thar.
She can handle herself. I believe in her.
[A deep inhale and uneasy look.]
It's more she's - well - probably best if she told you.
Quite welcome.

The person in question in wrapped tightly in one. Veiny. Still breathing. The only thing visible are the eyes. Both of which is as if they're watching something. Completely out of touch with reality.
No signs other signs that this is in a nest in the person's home.

That is disturbing to say the least, without question. I have never seen anything like that. If it is this world's version of a cocoon, it is a sign of it changing something about them, but then again who can trust anything that happens in this place to be the way that you would expect.
Do they react to any form of stimulus? Are they unhurt in any fashion? I can possibly come forward and attempt to do some form of mystical scanning to see if there is anything wrong with their life signs, or we could summon Mercy or Moira. One of them might have a medical test they could perform.
(OOC: We will need to double-check with Grindewald's player to make sure this is ok if VL is doing the test. I haven't ever been in contact with the player, so I'll want to check in first.)
