[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.

Who are you talking to?

Ah...Rapunzel, i-is everything all right?

Mother...She's not happy with me.

...Oh, yes, everything's fine. Mother is a bit angry with me, that's all.

[She hasn't realized nobody else can see her mother.]

[He's a little confused, not entirely certain how to broach that glaringly obvious problem...]

I-I...would imagine she's simply concerned for you, but...

['Rapuuunzel~! Mummy isn't getting any younger over here! Who are you talking to?']

I'm just talking to one of my friends, Mother!

['Rapunzel, how many times do I have to tell you, the furniture isn't alive and it doesn't talk?']

No, Mother, I'm not...it's sort of complicated, but I can talk to people through this little box, see?

['Rapunzel, dear, this is exactly why you can't go outside! You believe everything you hear, no matter how stupid it sounds. Now, come here, dear.]

...sorry, Mother, I'm coming. Sorry, Gremio...

['What did I tell you about the mumbling, Rapunzel!'


Sorry, sorry...

R-Rapunzel, you-

[This is worrisome, seeing her have a one-sided conversation. One that obviously leaves her unhappy.]

Please, don't apologize, Rapunzel. You haven't done anything wrong.

[She speaks quietly. Better to have her mother get angry about the mumbling than about...well, all the other things she's angry about.]

Mother...is angry that I left, and that I didn't go back with her, and that I'm here instead of in the tower like I'm supposed to be...but she's happy because at least she can keep an eye on me now and make sure I don't go out again...

...I'm not, Mother!

...I have to go, I'm sorry.

[She doesn't want to leave, though, and she just conveniently forgets to turn off the device.]

Mother? There's nobody else there with you.

Date: 2011-01-15 04:42 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Nobody...? But she's right here....

...Am I the only one who can see her? Oh, no, I really am going crazy...

Sorry, Mother! I didn't mean to mumble!!

You're alone. Unless your male friend is there with you. But don't see him, so doubt it.

Could be a curse. Not sure. Strange day. Many different things happening.

[His expression turns more fretful as she goes on. This isn't right; her mother shouldn't be angry--worried, maybe, but she should be happy her daughter is safe...]

A-ah, please, wait! R-Rapunzel, are you...truly certain your mother is there?

Date: 2011-01-15 05:18 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Why, can't you see her?

Date: 2011-01-15 05:19 pm (UTC)
axeofoath: (whatever it takes)
From: [personal profile] axeofoath
N-no, I'm afraid I cannot...I don't see or hear her.

No, Eu--Flynn isn't here, but I wish he was...maybe he could make Mother stop worrying...

A curse day...? So...she's not really here?

Date: 2011-01-15 05:20 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
...oh...Is this one of those weird days...?

Date: 2011-01-15 05:21 pm (UTC)
axeofoath: (Oh. Master Teo. You were there?)
From: [personal profile] axeofoath
Could it be that--perhaps this is the effects of a curse?

From: [identity profile] doctor-tangent.livejournal.com
Most likely. We should have seen her if she was really here.

Rapunzel? You okay? Um.....your hair's sort of....glowin'. .......you still sick or sommat?

Date: 2011-01-15 08:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Oh...

Well, I suppose at least I'm not going crazy...

Aaah, mother, too rough!

Date: 2011-01-15 08:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
I...guess so? Mother doesn't think so, she thinks I'm being silly, listening to people...

...but if she's not here...Ohhh...

Date: 2011-01-15 08:03 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
...Oh, no no no...nobody is supposed to see...

I promise, I didn't tell anybody, Mother!! I don't know...[Oh lord, this is bad.]

...Rapunzel, has anyone other than yourself been able to see her?

Date: 2011-01-15 08:13 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Yes! Mother goes out everyday at home to do business...other people do see her, so maybe I am imagining her here...

Perhaps...I have heard the curses can do anything. What of anyone else in the City? Can any others here see her?
