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.]

If I could have an indigo for every time I heard that.

Why do you want a color?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

It's a monetary unit for this place. Whatever currency you use in your world doesn't apply here.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

You use colors for money?

...Okay...[She clearly doesn't understand, but hey.]

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

The coins we use are colored.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh! Okay, that makes more sense!

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

For some. Anyways, you'll have to contend with curses and monsters in certain areas while you're taking residence here.

C-curses and m-m-monsters?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Curses happen at random times during the course of the month. The monsters reside in the darkest reaches of the forest, the Underground, and apparently near the peak of the mountain.

[And now she's completely freaked out now, because monsters seem to be everywhere!]

Do they...stay in those places?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Usually.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh, good!

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Just check the network most mornings when you wake up just to be sure you aren't walking outside into a virtual battlefield.

[Aaaand she's freaked out again.]
