[Accidental Video]

[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?

...miss, are you alright?

[video]

[doudemoe]

Do you need help?

[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]

[Oh, another voice from the magic box.]

You could say that...

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

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

Is it...some sort of magic?

[video]

[doudemoe]

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

But you're not the only one they took.

[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]

[healing_sunflower]

So...I've been kidnapped?

Were you kidnapped, too?

[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]

[doudemoe]

Yes, and yes.

[Poor girl.]

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

I'm sorry.

[No real point in apologizing for something that wasn't her fault, but hey, maybe it'll make him feel better.]

My name's Rapunzel.

[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]

[doudemoe]

[Why'd she apologize? It's not her fault he was brought here.]

No, that's okay...Rapunzel?

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

Yes?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Weaponry, magical abilities, things of that nature.

[assaultedramen]

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

[video]

[healing_sunflower]

Magic doesn't work here?

[That would explain so much.]

[healing_sunflower]

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

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Unfortunately, no.
