[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]

[healing_sunflower]

[She's apparently unaware of the phone.]

How did I get here? Why can't I see you?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

I don't know the answer to your first question, but as for your second there's a device nearby I'm communicating to you through.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

[What? Oh, hello little box thing. She studies it with wide eyes.]

Is it...some sort of magic?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

That's probably the simplest way to describe it, for now.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

Oh...

[Here, have a nice attempt at a smile.]

I'm Rapunzel. It's nice to meet you.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Likewise, it's a pleasure.

[He smiled as well, friendly and welcoming.]

I wish I could give more details as to how and why we've arrived here, but I'm afraid I don't know.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

Maybe they want something from us? I don't know what they'd want, though.

[Except for her hair, but that's broken now, so...]

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

I don't believe that's the case, exactly. Many of us have lost things we had before arriving, but there has been little sign of where they've gone.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

What kind of things?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Weaponry, magical abilities, things of that nature.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

Magic doesn't work here?

[That would explain so much.]

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Unfortunately, no.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

That explains a lot...

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Oh...did you have some sort of magical abilities? It seems many of us did.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

Yeah. It's...kind of hard to explain without being able to show you.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

It's alright. You're certainly not alone in having lost things that are difficult to explain.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

I guess you lost something, too.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

A few things, but it's not so terrible--I've managed to get used to it.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

Was it...really difficult? Getting used to it, I mean.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Perhaps a little, at first. But after a bit of time it wasn't so hard.

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

I see.

[She ponders something for a moment.]

Do you know anyone who...cuts hair?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

[A quiet laugh. He'd never really seen anyone with hair quite that long, but that seemed like a good priority.]

I don't know anyone that specializes in it, sadly. If you just want it shorter and a little easier to manage, I think I could attempt that.

[Knights of Fianna: Good. At. Everything.]
