"The Barn. We can put her in Betty's room."

"And it's further from the fire..."

"Got it. Need help with h.. nevermind, forgot who I was talking to. You could probably lift her one handed. " Olgar says "Later, you... and maybe Tove, can go throug her clothes see if she has some ID on her. I ain't sure, but I get the feeling that it was some guys who did this to her... and one thing you do not do is compound trauma with things that remind folks of the trauma"

"Tove should feel safe. Yeah..."

"I think..." A frown. "Yeah, guys did something."

"There's some kind of suggestability glamour on her, when that fades it might be easier to reassert herself, but who ever dragged a mortal into the dreaming and put suggestablity on her? No wonder she's a veg.... geez when Frank hears about this he's gonna want to break someone. Liam take crusades against folks who pull this crap. And I'm none too happy myself" They knock on the door of Dagmar's house.

No response, either no one is home or Tove is recording

"I get why, yeah. I wanna smash them. Rapist scum."

Dagmar shifts the girl to a one-armed hold, like a sack of potatoes, and unlocks the door.

They go in and immediately Twobit comes up ready to attack Olgar if he tries anything funny

Odin stretches, curious.

"TwoBit, be nice!"

Twobit sits

"TOVE?"

"It's okay..animals can be good... " Olgar says "They calm... and allow contact on good terms. "

No sound

"Oh yeah. If she stays sleeping, Odin'll check her out."

PUtting the mortal on the coach for a moment "Go look for her if you want. She's not going anywhere"

"She might not hear, she wears these giant headphones..." Dagmar tromps upstairs.

Sure enough, a red light is on. nothing fancy, but she's recording

She does NOT knock, but quietly opens the door.

Yup, recording... Tove has those big head phones on and then turns to see Dagmar. Whatever she's doing it can wait as she hits pause kind of button and takes the headphones off "Everything okay, daughter mine?"

Tove has, Dagmar notes, been happy to use daughter as a term a bit more often lately.

"Well, um, not exactly?"

"Olgar took me on patrol, and we found a... he said 'dreamstruck' mortal. On the trod!"

"What?" she stands up and almost forgets the headphones swinging there "That's not supposed to be possible, I mean, there are stories of those the sidhe abducted ,and perhaps wizards but... where is this mortal now?"

"...On the couch..."

"My word... " She races down "Are any of you injured, there are almost always dangerous chimera after mortals in the Dreaming its said"

Dagmar follows. "They did something to her..."

"No chimera really on her," Olgar says 'Which is odd... some WERE possibly on her.. she's bruised, but ..none there when we came out. Hell, we stepped onto the silver and she was close, damn close. Odd stuff"

The mortal woman lays there limp, eyes open, looking like a doll waiting to be played with

"SOmething worse than dragging her onto a trod?" Alarm in Tove's eyes

"Worse" The blonde human repeats

"But safe now." Dagmar reassures.

"Safe" the mortal repeats

but otherwise doesn't even change expression

"She's been hit with some kind of whammy to make her suggestable" Olgar says in a low voice to Tove "Try to be positive until it wears off. Tove, sorry to do this to you and Jaymes, and Dagmar, but she can't stay at the hold.. it'll keep the problem going. "

Tove nods "We'll put her in Betty's room"

Dagmar sits on the floor next to the couch. "She might have ID on her..."

They search, but no obvious ID, they do find a big K on her Key chain

"Name might start with a K. " Tove says "But might not"

"Hey, girl, tell us your name." Gently, but trying a command instead of a question.

"I.... Karen" she says "Cuddly Karen, Karen Bear, 'K'..." She rambles

"She's talking like a child" Tove mutters

"Karen's a pretty name."

"I'm Sam, and this is Tove, and you're safe."

"She's a teenager, " Olgar says "Wasn't that long ago.. and regression is hardly surprsiing." He whispers

"Sam..." Karen says "Tove. Safe."

"That's right. You, Karen, are safe."

"Do you wanna meet a puppy?"
