[The lights are low, the curtain is drawn, and Rapunzel is a bit nervous backstage. She loves her job, loves preforming and doing tricks and singing, but she always gets nervous before a show...]

Okay, Rapunzel. You can do this. The crowd loves you, and you love the crowd. You look good, you sound good, you got plenty of rest...you know this routine! You can do this!

[She nods to herself, before twirling some of her hair.]

Okay. Let's go do this. Me and my hair against the world, just the way it should be.

[She grins and goes to take her place on stage behind the curtain, swinging her hair up and forming a swing that she casually lounges in, as the announcer comes over an intercom.]

And now, ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present the one, the only, Rapunzel, the singing, swinging, blonde bombshell!


[The curtain comes up, and Rapunzel peeks out from behind her hair hammock, smiling demurely.]

Mama thinks I'm living in a convent...a secluded little convent in the southern part of France...
Mama doesn't even have an inkling that I'm working. In a nightclub. In a pair of lacy pants...

[She swings out from her hair, beginning her routine, and she continues to sing.]

[ooc: The song our showgirl Rapunzel is singing is 'Don't Tell Mama', from the musical Cabaret.]

[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.

[ooc: Ghost World
