[Accidental Video]

[healing_sunflower]

[So now there's a very confused and frightened young woman sitting in an alley and cradling...her hair. Her very very long hair that covers most of the ground. and...is she singing? Yes, yes she is, but it's very fast and frantic and probably hard to make out.]

Flowergleamandglow, letyourpowershine, maketheclockreverse, bringbackwhatoncewasmine... Why isn't it working?

[She seems to be yelling at her hair and getting a little hysterical...]

It's all here, none of it was cut off, and Eugene didn't have anything to cut it with anyway, and he knew it wouldn't work if he did, so he didn't, right?

[She drops the hair in her lap in favor of covering her face.]

Mother was right, I never should've left...I'm so lost...

...Mother... Mother! Mother, are you there? Eugene! Pascal!

...Anybody?

[croibhristeoir]

...miss, are you alright?

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

[Why hello, magic voice from nowhere. Rapunzel has her frying pan out in a flash. Yes, a frying pan.]

Who's there?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

It's alright--er, I'm over here, sort of. My name is Diarmuid, you're in a city called Prospero.

[video]

[doudemoe]

Do you need help?

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

[Oh, another voice from the magic box.]

You could say that...

[video]

[doudemoe]

Hnn. This place is called Prospero. They...took you here, for some reason.

But you're not the only one they took.

[assaultedramen]

Aren't you a little old to be calling for your mother?

[healing_sunflower]

She was with me before I came here. I was hoping she came with me.

[assaultedramen]

Oh. I guess that's a bit different then.

She's probably not here though.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Are you okay? I can talk to you, but I don't know where your mother is, I'm sorry.

[Video]

[healing_sunflower]

I'm fine now. This still doesn't make sense, but freaking out won't really help anything.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

That's right. What do you want to talk about? You have a very pretty voice.

[Video]

[letsplaylady]

You're lost, lady? Alice is lost, too.

[Video]

[healing_sunflower]

I'm pretty lost, yeah.

Alice? Is that a friend of yours?

[Video]

[letsplaylady]

[Alice nods.]

Alice is Alice's friend. How did you get lost, lady?

[Action]

[myblimpisbigger]

[Oh, hey, vulnerable young lady sitting in an alleyway and shouting at her hair. Klaus was going to go and see if he could make any more progress on that mechanical eye he's been working on to replace the one he lost, but this seems like it might be more important. He counts as 'anybody', right?

...Also, woah, that is a LOT of hair.]

Excuse me. I couldn't help overhearing the, ah, shouting. Are you alright?

[Rapunzel, there is a very large man with an eyepatch in your alley with you. Wat do?]

[Action]

[healing_sunflower]

[Big guy with an eyepatch = ruffian? Maybe. She grabs her frying pan just in case.]

I'm lost and nothing makes any sense.

[Action]

[myblimpisbigger]

Hm. I am not sure how much I can do about the former, but I can likely make progress on fixing the latter. Would you like to perhaps change locale to somewhere more hospitable and perhaps better-lit?

[He doesn't talk like a ruffian, at any rate. Also, have fun trying to place the muted Transylvanian accent.]

[Video]

[blackestomen]

[Oh. Well. This is tugging at heartstrings that she had forgotten she even had.]

Hush. You're going to be alright. Be calm.

[Video]

[healing_sunflower]

I've never been this far from home before.

[Video]

[blackestomen]

This city is a long way from many of our homes. You are hardly alone, child.

[Video]

[golden_witch]

Eh? Calm down, child. You're going to give yourself a heart attack.

You must have just been dropped off here, is that right?

I assure you it's nothing you did wrong.

[Okay, so Beatrice kind of has a soft spot for girls with awful mothers.]

[Video]

[healing_sunflower]

It's just...way too new for me. I think I'm over the shock a little, though.

I'm Rapunzel.

[Video]

[golden_witch]

It's understandable. I was angry when I first came here. I even threw some things around as I recall.

I'm Beatrice.

[socializing]

You were kidnapped and brought here.

[ Suddenly there's a lanky gray-haired teenager about Rapunzel's age standing beside her. ]

Like all of us.

[ Souji will brandish his "gifted" phone, one matching hers to show that he is one of them. ]

Can you stand?
