- Rapunzel -

[Rapunzel is sitting on the edge of her bed, hair wrapped around her like a blanket, as she knits what appears to be a very tiny scarf. Pascal, looking a bit blue and slightly irritated, is sitting on her shoulder.

Scene not making any sense? Don't worry! Rapunzel has been writing about her whole day, in excessive detail, for everybody to read!]

She woke up this morning and noted how cold it was. It never got this cold in the tower, and whenever it started to, she or Mother would make sure there was a nice fire and warm food. But she can't exactly go and set a fire in the apartment, now can she? That would only end badly, she thought to herself.

Having taken a look in her closet, she noticed that she didn't have very many coats or sweaters. She had a few, to be sure, and she made sure to put one of those on, along with a pair of socks. She's still getting used to the idea of wearing socks and shoes. Living in a tower for years, you never had to wear these things on your feet, and despite being in the City for a while now, she'd still never really gotten used to this whole 'footware' thing.

While she was a bit warmer and bundled up, though, she saw poor Pascal, shivering and looking grumpy and blue! Oh no!

So, she decided that she would make him some winter clothes as well. Starting with a nice scarf. He had a little scarf at home in the tower, but it had been summer when they left, so it was still there...and he could use a temporary replacement while they were here!

And so, she sat down on the bed, placing Pascal on her shoulder where he could observe her work, and started to knit. Her hair, as it often did, got in the way a bit...so she decided to use it as a blanket. She did this when she was in the tower, why not here?


It's been a few hours now, and she's really making progress...though the scarf is probably a bit longer than she intended it to be...

I have NEVER been so happy to see the sun before...I thought the night could be dark before this weekend, but I never thought it could be that dark...

[She maaaay have a bit of a fear of the dark. Blame the crazy mother again.]

I wonder, though...all those people who got special powers over the weekend...do any of them still have them? Or was that just a weekend only thing?

[Rapunzel, you are not going to find somebody who also has magical hair. And this does not count as asking.]

It was probably just a weekend thing. Oh well.

[Rapunzel is sitting on a small chair in her bedroom, brushing her hair. But what would be a relatively normal scene is a bit off for several reasons...

First, and most obvious, is that her hair is now brown. It's still very, very long, but it's gone from being golden blonde to brown.

Second, she's brushing her hair in a frantic, almost panicked state. And third, she's singing to herself, almost desperately.]

Flower, gleam and glow, let your power shine... Why isn't it working? I haven't cut my hair at all, this shouldn't be happening!!

[She slumps in the chair, looking miserable and absolutely terrified.]

Oh, Mother is going to kill me...how do I tell her that my hair just sort of stopped working? She's not going to believe me...Pascal, what should I do?

[Pascal, who's sitting on the floor in front of her, shrugs before tugging on a bit of her hair.]

You're right. I'll keep trying, maybe it'll start working...or maybe if I go outside it'll go back to normal, or something. I'm willing to try anything by this point...

[ooc: Average Joe day. Rapunzel's normally magical hair has been sapped of its powers, and it's now just 70ft of average brown hair. She's freaking out...and this is leading her to inadvertently revealing the fact her hair isn't normal to the Network. :3 Have fun!]

So...what exactly does one do at a birthday party, anyway? How does one go about throwing it?

I mean, I know that my birthday isn't until the 21st, but it's my first birthday party and I want to do it right, so that everybody has a good time. I just don't know what to do!

Pascal was surprisingly not very helpful. And he usually knows everything! But he's at a loss too...I wonder if he's ever had a birthday party. He doesn't know what day his birthday is, so he and I usually celebrate our birthday's together!

Oooh, I wonder if I should throw him a birthday party too! I should ask him if he wants one!

...I'm talking too much again, aren't I? Oh well. So, like I tried to say, birthday parties! I don't know how to plan or throw one. What do I do?

[Rapunzel looks scared and miserable, eyes red like she's been crying.]

I need help...I can't find Pascal or Ishamel anywhere...They were here last night, they were! The door was closed, and the window was too...I don't know where they could be...

[She sniffles and rubs at her eyes.]

...Ishamel had been acting strange lately...he kept trying to burrow through the carpet, like he was trying to dig out of the room...and Pascal...

...I knew there was something wrong, but he wouldn't tell me! He just sat at the window and...and...I should have done something more, I...Why would he leave...? We've been friends forever...we promised we'd never leave each other without telling...

...I have to find them. I just have to!

My goodness, there's a lot of people out today...I didn't think this place could have that many people living in it!

Well, I mean, I know it's quite large here, but...I've just never seen so many people out at once. Is there some sort of festival going on?

Hm. As exciting as this all is...I should probably prepare if I'm going outside today.

...Pascal?? Did I leave my frying pan in the living room, or is it in the kitchen? I think I might need it today...I mean, I don't want to use it, but it might not be bad to have it on hand...

...Oh, I bet there must be something really exciting going on, if there's all these people outside...maybe it snowed again!!

So...I'm a little confused. What is this Valentine's Day thing? It sounds like a holiday or a special day or something like that...is it fun?

And why does somebody need to dress up fancy for a dance? Doesn't that sort of make it hard to dance? I know that when I dance, I don't wear anything fancy because I don't want to ruin my good dress or have it get in the way...

...And what does Valentine's Day have to do with dancing? What else is supposed to happen?


Oh! And I have a brand new friend living with me here. Pascal really ended up liking him, which I think is because he's warm and soft and Pascal sized...and he's not dangerous, so he's with us now! His name is Ishamel. He's the rabbit that got in here a few days ago, and he's very sweet.

[The video starts with a thumb. Rather, it's Rapunzel, poking at the camera as she tries to get this silly little magic box to work. She's all wrapped up in her long hair, and Pascal is sitting on her shoulder, looking at the device with confusion.]

Did I get it on...? Oooh, I think it's on now!

Hello!!

[She grins and waves at the camera. She's starting to like it here, despite not really having a place to stay yet. She's been in a tree.]

I'm Rapunzel, and this is Pascal, and we have a few questions for people! Because, see, this place is...it's nothing like I've ever read about, or thought about, or dreamed about...light inside glass flowerbulbs! Magic little boxes that can talk with people for you!

This place...is...amazing!!

But...I guess it's also a prison. You really can't leave...? I don't...but it's so big!

Oh well. At least it's a nice, big prison.

So! Where do people live in a prison if there aren't cages or cells for people?


And...is there a Flynn Rider around here somewhere? If he's here, people would know him by that instead of Eugene Fitzherbert...
