[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?

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

Someone told me we were all kidnapped.

[blackestomen]

That sounds like a very accurate description of the situation. If you're looking for the "why", however... I am sorry, that, I do not yet know.

[There's a pause.]

Are you dressed for the weather? The days here have been dreadfully cold.

[She shakes her head.]

No. It was spring when I left.

[She 'tsks' sharply, and shakes her head.]

That won't do at all. You should come inside. There's a "hotel" here, likely not far away. You can warm yourself and recompose yourself there. I believe they'll even provide you with your own room.

That sounds nice. I think I'll find it soon.

[blackestomen]

Good, good. I'll keep an eye out for you. And ah... your name, dear. What's your name?

[healing_sunflower]

Rapunzel.

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Rapunzel. I am Zeal. Have you been warned about the "Dark Hour" and the creatures? [She pauses and blinks once, then shrugs to herself.] Well, I suppose you've been warned, now. Don't be out too late.

[healing_sunflower]

It's nice to meet you. Yes, someone told me about that. I'll be sure to find the hotel before dark.

[blackestomen]

Good. I'm relieved. I would hate to hear that something has happened to you.
