I don't get it. They're just sort of weed plants, right? How do they grow out of the ceiling like that?

[Rapunzel's at her job at the tea shop, since she's still working there for now, and she's just completely baffled by the mistletoe that appears to be growing out of the ceiling.]

[ooc: heheh. This is gonna be great.]

But shouldn't she want what's best for you? And your happiness is part of that. ...you taught yourself star charting? And you're talented. [Too nice for anything nefarious to be the cause. At least she seems really nice, not fake nice.]

Good. It makes things easier, even situations like yours. Maybe you can explain to your mother the outside world isn't bad, so there's no reason to keep you in any longer, especially if you've already been there.

Mother does want what's best! That's why I stay inside, she's trying to keep me safe from everything else out there! I know she means well...

[Siiiigh.]

I did! I don't think I have the constellations right, though, so I came up with my own names for them.

[Magic hair isn't nefarious, it's just sort of there.]

That's very nice of you, thank you!

I'd like to tell her that. Maybe when I go home, I'll find a way to talk to her...

But that's not necessarily best. She's being overprotective, and that might be bad for you in the long run. Especially if you've ended up here anyway. I bet you've learned way more since coming here, haven't you?

What kind of names?

[He'd still say cut it off.]

... [Nice. He's nice? Wow. She's nice herself.] You're welcome.

It's a worth a try. It would help to give her examples, as well. Show her you're responsible and the outside world isn't going to be a problem for you.

I have, actually. The world outside the tower is...amazing! And, yeah there are bad things, but there's plenty of good things too! And I've done so much since leaving home...

Oh, they're nothing special...just descriptive names. I know they have to have real names, but I haven't had a proper astronomy book...

[But Mother would be so mad if she did!! Also, new friend get!]

I just need to prove to her that I'm strong enough to survive on my own. It doesn't mean I won't come home, it just means that I can go out and survive!

I like you, you listen to my silly complaining.

What else have you done since leaving?

Well, if we find someone who knows the stars very well you can exchange your information and learn the official names. Until then, it takes some sort of creativity to name them like that.

Exactly. If you explain all of that to her and show her, hopefully she'll come around. [The whole keeping her locked up thing reeks, but since Rapunzel seems otherwise happy...he doesn't want to make too big a deal out of it, for now.]

[And have a single, light laugh.] It's not silly. You have an honest upset, and every right to speak of it if you want.

Oh, lots of things! I have my own place now, and a job, and I've nearly drowned and I've slept in a forest and I've met a very nice group of bar thugs, and I've made friends and worn shoes! I never needed to wear shoes before!!

I'd like that a lot, actually...it'd be nice to know what they're all officially called.

[She grins and nods, laughing a bit.] I hope so. I mean, I'm not a child anymore, so she has to let go eventually, right?

Well, that's very nice of you, thank you.

You nearly drowned? That's...not a good experience! But you survived, so I suppose it says something for your abilities. [Never worn shoes? He doesn't even have words.]

I didn't study them, other than some of the stories in relation to them, so I can't be too much help there.

She does.... How old are you, anyway?

You're welcome, though, it's really just the truth. I hope no one else calls it silly complaining.

Date: 2012-01-09 02:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Oh, no, it's okay, it worked out just fine!!

There are stories in relation to them? I didn't know that...

Oh, well, I guess I'm 18 at home. I'm 19 here, though.

Well...[Mother does.]

Date: 2012-01-10 03:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oceantrauma.livejournal.com
.... Still. How did you almost drown?

Yes. Myths and legends. Have you heard any of them?

[He's a bit stunned. Thought she was a tad younger, but being so sheltered, well, it makes sense.]

Well...? [That's sad.]

Oh, I got stuck in a cave that was flooding after a dam collapsed. Eug--er, Flynn, my friend, and I, we found an opening and were able to get out.

No, I haven't. I'd love to, though.

Well...Mother thinks its silly.

I'm glad to hear you escaped then. And there is another example of how friends are good to have, I suppose.

We should meet up then, sometime when there are...no suspicious green plants growing everywhere.

...it's not silly. I can't believe a mother would think that. [What kind of mother is she? If he started to complain his parents would listen immediately, probably just be happy he's talking to them!]

I know! Flynn is great. He was here for a while, but he's home now...I'll see him again when I go home too.

I think that's a good idea! The library might be a safe place...

Well, Mother is sort of old fashioned, I guess.

From: [identity profile] oceantrauma.livejournal.com
Oh.... I'm sorry to hear your friend is no longer here. Maybe it's better for him, though. And hopefully you'll go home soon.

The library a good idea, too. We can find some books on the constellations and stars for you, so you can read them yourself.

Old fashioned? She doesn't sound too concerned for your feelings.

From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
That's what I thought. It was sad at first, but now, I miss him but I know he's okay.

Okay, that sounds really nice! I'll meet you there!

She loves me, she's just a bit stern, that's all.

Date: 2012-01-11 01:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oceantrauma.livejournal.com
When should we meet? Definitely not today. Would tomorrow work for you?

As long as you know she cares for you. [He really hopes she does, but doesn't like what he's heard thus far. Still, he doesn't want to upset his new friend until he has proof.]

Date: 2012-01-11 02:34 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Tomorrow sounds fine!

I know she does. She's my mother! [She has to, right? Just wait until Gothel shows up. If she shows up. Then you'll get your proof.]

Date: 2012-01-16 03:22 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oceantrauma.livejournal.com
Alright. I'll see you there.

[He says nothing else to that. But yeah, if she ever does, and he gets his proof, that won't be a happy day.]



[ooc: I think this thread is done, but if you actually want to thread out them in the library looking up myths about the stars, just drop a line and let me know. I'm totally up for that to have something going on DW, and to continue their CR. It was cute. ;A;]

[ooc: :D I think they should totally do something on DW, once everything gets settled there. They were adorable!]
