tangledintower[Rapunzel is sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at the floor, a look of embarrassment, shame, and sadness on her face.
Almost as if she's being yelled at by somebody...but nobody seems to be there, at least nobody anybody else can see.
Rapunzel tries to interject a few times, cut down by the invisible speaker.]
Mother, I--
...I told you I would be back...no, I haven't given it back yet, I...no, it's not--Mother, stop! I still trust him, you're wrong!
[After that, she winces and stares at the floor even more, like she's being yelled at louder.
She sighs quietly.]
...I'm sorry, Mother. I didn't mean to upset you...I just wanted to see the lights...
[She bites her lip, as the mother she believes to be there continues to scold and yell at her.]
...I promise, I won't leave again. I just...just one more day, please...
...okay.
[She looks sad as she looks up to face her invisible mother.]
...I love you more.
['I love you most. Now, come here, sweetheart, Mumsy needs a touch up, it's been sooo long since I've heard your pretty voice. Don't keep me waaiiting~!'
Okay, Mother. Let me go get the brush.
[She steps off the bed, forcing a look of cheer on, but that aura of melancholy remains as she grabs her brush, starts brushing, and singing.]
Flower, gleam and glow...
[The video cuts off just after she begins singing, just as her hair starts to glow, just as she lets that cheerful mask melt away again.

Date: 2011-01-16 12:16 am (UTC)[She winces slightly, as somebody unseen and unheard yells for her to come back in and tell that good for nothing thief to go away..]
...Mother, please...
...sorry, Eugene...she wants you to leave...[She looks sad now.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 12:29 am (UTC)That worry assuaged, he's finally free to concentrate on the strangest part of the conversation.]
What do you mean, she wants me to leave?
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 12:33 am (UTC)...well, taking advantage of me and...and that you don't like me at all...
[She winces a bit as the unseen unheard mother yells for her to come inside and stop letting out the warm air.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 12:38 am (UTC)So he ignores that.]
Is she here now?
[He looks around, but he sees no sign of anyone else.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 12:41 am (UTC)I feel like I'm going crazy...she's acting just like how she does at home, but she's not really here, and...and I don't know...
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 12:45 am (UTC)[Right. That curse...thing. He wraps his arm around her shoulder.]
Why don't you come over to my place. I bet she won't be able to bug you there.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 12:49 am (UTC)Sometimes what she says really hurts, even if she is teasing...
[She looks behind her, and tries to ignore the raging shrieks of the invisible mother as she closes the door behind her.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 12:57 am (UTC)He lets her into his apartment.]
Sorry, the place is a bit of a mess.
[Understatement of the century.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2011-01-16 01:06 am (UTC)[She sort of likes it messy, though.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 01:18 am (UTC)[Wiiiith...nothing. Really, it's amazing how boring life is without high crimes and misdemeanors to keep you occupied. It's almost enough to make him want a job..........almost.
He clears off some space on the wooden crate that serves as a chair. Money for real furniture isn't exactly something he's rolling in.]

Date: 2011-01-16 01:31 am (UTC)[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 01:35 am (UTC)[action]
Date: 2011-01-16 04:14 am (UTC)I know you don't want a job, but maybe you could find one that doesn't really have lots of supervision...just to keep you occupied?
[She smiles for a second, before frowning and looking at the floor.]
...Listen. I know I always keep my promises, but...well, we can't see the floating lights here...so...I feel like I should give your bag back to you. I mean, from what they say, it just goes back to me when we leave anyway...
[action]
Date: 2011-01-17 01:13 am (UTC)[Lies, damn lies,
and statistics.
When she mentions the bag, he gets serious. It's tempting...really tempting.
So he's surprised at what he blurts out.]
It's okay. It's...not really that important.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-17 01:58 am (UTC)So she breaks out into a huge grin before suddenly hugging him tightly.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-20 02:03 am (UTC)Hey! Hey.
[He can't resist wrapping his arms around her...just a little.]
What's with the excitement?
Re: [action]
Date: 2011-01-20 02:05 pm (UTC)[action]
Date: 2011-01-21 12:18 am (UTC)She didn't follow us, did she? I mean, you know, the cursed version.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-21 01:09 am (UTC)...oh, I shouldn't say that, she's my mother...
[action]
Date: 2011-01-21 01:15 am (UTC)[action]
Date: 2011-01-21 01:27 am (UTC)...she doesn't understand, and I don't think I can make her...
[action]
Date: 2011-01-22 07:10 pm (UTC)Not all hurts are bad, you know. Sometimes...sometimes that's just a part of...well, you know. Growing.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-23 06:02 am (UTC)...but she doesn't listen...asking too many questions makes her angry, I guess.
