The 1st Sundrop [Video]

[tangledintower]

[There is a young woman wandering around, lost and confused in the snow. Her long blonde hair trails behind her, an obstacle for people walking around her, who trip and step on it as she wanders in a dazed state.]

Aah—oh, excuse me—hey!!

[Something yanks on her hair and she falls backwards into the snow, where she sits for a minute as she quickly gathers up her hair into her arms. As she gets up, she continues looking around, becoming more and more scared and upset.]

Eugene…? Eugene? Maximus?

[The realization that she’s alone seems to be hitting her now as she starts looking around frantically.]

They can’t be gone…no, they were right behind me, I saw them…I heard them, they were right here! Eugene can’t have left…Maximus wouldn’t let him…no, Mother can’t be right about this, no, no…

…wait, where’s…

Pascal? PASCAL!!

[The young woman drops her hair and falls to her knees, digging frantically through the snow. Later, she’ll be overjoyed over having experienced snow for the first time, but right now, her chameleon companion is missing, and she needs him now more than ever.]

Pascal, don’t hide, this isn’t funny…I don’t know where Eugene and Maximus are, and they were right here…and the kingdom looks completely different now…and it’s snowing, and Pascal, please come out from wherever you are…

[After a minute of digging, she finds her friend, who is sitting on a little black communication device, looking cold, blue, and just as confused as the young woman who picks him up and hugs him tight.]

Pascal!! Oh, thank goodness, I thought I’d lost you too…they were right behind us, weren’t they…?

[The chameleon turns green, his normal color, and nods, causing her to look relieved. So they didn’t abandon her, something else just happened. Pascal then points to the black box he had been sitting on, and the woman, Rapunzel, looks at it curiously before picking it up and poking at it.]

Oooh, what’s this…?

[And the poking of the communication device commences.]

[She looks a bit shocked. From what her mother had told her, the same thing happened to her!]

Really? That...that happened to me to. I was stolen as a baby, then mother got me back, and she won't let me leave the tower now.

[She grins now.]

It's nice to meet you too. And yes, it is cold. Isn't it great?

[... haha... oh shit. WELL IT'S NONE OF HIS BUSINESS SO...]

I was a little older when it happened, but I don't remember anything from then anyway.

[Not quite a lie either.]

... Great? I don't know about great, but snow is fun.

[He can see the fountain now.]

Rapunzeeeeelll!?

I was just a baby when it happened...so I can't remember it. But I guess it must have scared mother something awful...

I've never seen so much snow before!! Mother doesn't like the cold, so we keep the window closed in the winter, so I can't see the snow...sometimes I take a peek though!!

[She blinks and looks up, waving.]

HELLOOOO!!!

[Luke looks relieved and gives her a wave. This is someone he barely knows, and she does make a strange sight, but if something were to happen to her because he couldn't get to her fast enough... well.

He flashes her a bright smile as he jogs over. He offers her the huge fleece blanket and soon realizes... she has a lot of hair. Damn.]

Here, put this on. [On second thought... he gives up his huge candycane-striped scarf, too. He'll be cold, but that's okay. He quested in Keterburg.]

[She blinks, and looks at the scarf, confused, before wrapping it around her neck.]

Thank you very much!

[He fits the blanket snugly around her shoulders. It might be a problem for Pascal, but nothing so much as her EXTREMELY LONG HAIR HOLY SHIT.]

The Welcome Center is really close. They'll handle everything... or they should. If they don't, just call for me on this thing. [He gestures to her communicator.]

It's this way. [He takes a couple of steps backwards, but in the direction he's about to go, obviously trying to accommodate her pace.]

Oh, thank you very much!

[Her pace isn't too slow, and she's just smiling now, so.]

[That's good! Natalia's dressed a little better for adventuring, so he wasn't sure that she could keep up. He turns back around and waaaalks.]

Heh. You sure have a lot of hair. I used to have it past my waist. [He flashes her a warm smile over his shoulder despite the cold.] It's a lot easier to take care of this way.

[Rapunzel laughs and nods, smiling.]

I know it's a lot...I'm...growing it out, I guess.

[Technically, she can never cut it, but whose asking?]

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Don't people... trip on it and stuff? That has to get annoying after a while.

[He sure isn't.]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well...I guess they did here, but that's the first time. I've never been around so many people before.

action

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right.

[He can tell she's kind of awkward about it.]

People will learn. You can probably figure out a way to put it up, too. Or... something. Maybe a wagon...

I think putting it up will probably work out just fine...I might need help with that, though. It's hard reaching it all!!
