The 6th Sundrop [Accidental Video]
Jan. 15th, 2011 12:32 am[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: 2011-01-15 04:19 pm (UTC)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...

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

Date: 2011-01-15 04:34 pm (UTC)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.]

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