The 41st Song

[tangledintower]

...I'm really worried about Flynn...

I haven't seen him in days, I haven't heard from him in days...I went by his room to see if he was there...and I knocked on his door, he didn't answer, so I went on in, and it looked like nobody'd been living there in ages...

I don't know where he is, or what could have happened to him! I...does anybody have any idea where he could've gone? I've started looking, but I don't know all the places to check...


Oh, I hope he hasn't left...he promised he wouldn't...

Suppose you ought to look into the Hall of the Missing.

I...I can't...he can't have left...He promised he wouldn't...

[signatures]

We've as little control on our leaving as we do on our arrivals.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

But...I know, but...

He was my guide, my friend...He wasn't supposed to leave me behind...

[She's just getting more and more heartbroken. If it wasn't for the fact that Flynn had no control about whether or not he left, she would have started to believe her mother was right about him.]

Well-

You still have your little lizard, don't you?

Sorry, Sweetheart. Sounds like you're gonna need to look in the hall of Missing.

[She doesn't respond verbally, right away. In fact, it sounds like Rapunzel is crying on the other end. After a few deep breaths and sniffles, she manages to compose herself enough to respond.]

...Okay.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the deities suck. Sorry, Kiddo.

[She has to stop and be quiet, because she feels like she's going to start crying again.]

...Where...Where's the Hall located...?

[Pretend he gives competent directions here.] You need somebody to go with you?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

He hasn't been at work for the last few days, either. I take it you're the young woman he was always talking about?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

He talked about me?

[She can't help but sound a little excited at that...but then that's gone, replaced with the worry that comes learning that he hasn't been at work either.]

I mean, yes, I guess I am. I'm Rapunzel...he hasn't come in at all the last few days? Really? Did he leave any sort of note or anything?

[Please don't be gone, please please...]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Rapunzel. But no, there was no note. To be honest, I was considering a post like this myself.

...have you checked the Hall?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh...

...I don't really have a choice anymore, do I...It's just not like Eu--Flynn to do this. I mean, it was like the old Flynn, but not the Flynn I knew...

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to here he's gone. Is there anything I can do for you?

It doesn't matter what he promised. The deities make people leave anyway.

voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I hate the deities! I've never hated anybody before, but I know I hate them! What they're doing...it's not right!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

It isn't! They shouldn't be allowed to take people away without warning! From here or to here. It's not fair.

Re: voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No it's not! They don't have any right to do what they do!

I liked this place at first, but now I know it's just a bigger version of the tower! It traps people and won't let them leave! Only here it's worse, because they make it seem like everything's alright, with other people and places to go...but it's not!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Tower?

Yeah. It's like a really big prison. I have more freedom than at my parents' house, but it's all the same in the end. I can't go where I want.

[totallyinaband]

Hey, Rapunzel. I hadn't heard back from him either, so I checked the hall. I'm sorry.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

He...he's really gone....?

[She's off crying now, excuse her for a minute or two.]

[totallyinaband]

Hey, hey. It's alright. People leave here, you know?

It still makes you feel like crap, though.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

It does...it really hurts...

[totallyinaband]

Do you need chocolate? Or hugs or something?

[He would normally offer booze, but she doesn't seem the type...]
