The 42nd Song

[tangledintower]

So...Flynn Rider has left the City...he's not the only one, either. [He's just the one she can't talk about without bursting into tears.]

My boss, Mister Iroh, is also gone, and I don't know what's going to happen to the tea shop without him...so I thought maybe I should start to look for a new job, just in case.

I don't exactly have a long resume, but I can do a lot of things! Cooking, cleaning, sewing, painting, paper mache, candle making...I'm also good with numbers, too. [The healing hair thing has only just started to come out in the City, and she'd like to keep that quiet for a little while longer.]
I was a waitress at the tea shop, but that's the extent of my actual job work...

...I guess that doesn't look very good, huh...oh well. If anybody needs an extra set of hands for anything, I'm your girl!

[Her cheerfulness is very forced, and she just needs a distraction to keep her mind off of Flynn leaving.]

That's a lot of things.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I had a lot of free time.

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

I wish I'd had that kind of time... I would know how to do so many things!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, you gotta kill boredom somehow, right? Not having free time means you're not gonna get bored easily.

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

Mmm, like pros and cons.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Exactly!! You probably know things that I don't know...

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

Like maybe swimming?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Exactly!!

I'm not a very good swimmer.

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

Want to learn?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I'd love to!!

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

I've never actually taught anyone anything that wasn't a spell before, but- !

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know magic?

[Hey, her hair is magic! She likes meeting other magic-esque people. Makes her feel less freaky.]

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

That's right! I do.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

That's cool!

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

- You believe me?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't I?

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

Lots of people at school...

Marino said they didn't believe in my spells. That they only pretended to, but really just thought I was stupid.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't know why they'd think that...

[innocentvow.livejournal.com]

I don't know why they would either.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

People can be really strange sometimes!

I'm running it. The teashop.

Re: voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Really?

So, do I still have a job, then?

voice;

[beifongbandit]

I could probably use the help if you want to stick around.

Re: voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I'd like that, thank you!!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Then you're hired! Again. I guess I should ask what your name is.

Re: voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm Rapunzel! It's nice to meet you.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Now that's a mouthful. Rapunzel, huh. [ She's already pondering nicknames. ] Well, come in tomorrow and we'll start sorting things out.

Re: voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's sort of a long name...

[She almost mentions that Flynn calls her Blondie, but she doesn't.]

That sounds good to me!

Thank you...uh...I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your name!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

I'm Toph Bei Fong. Call me Toph. Or Boss, that will also definitely work.

voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

How about Boss Toph?

voice;

[beifongbandit]

That's a winner!

voice;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Then Boss Toph it is!

[Yaaay new friend.]

[commarogue]

I knew Flynn, kinda. You were friends?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. We were from the same place...he was sort of my guide back home...

[among other things....]

[commarogue]

Guide, huh? You look a little more upset than just losing a guide, Blondie.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Okay...he was also my friend, and my first human friend at that, too.

[She lets out a quiet sob at being called Blondie.]
