The 82nd Song

[tangledintower]

[Today has not been fun for Rapunzel. Normally, she can avoid tripping over her hair, and while she does have a little bit of clumsiness to her, she's never had NEARLY as many accidents as she's had today.

Naturally, this has been sort of terrible for business. With Charlie gone for the day, Rapunzel has been managing the kitchen and tables by herself...and it's frankly a miracle she hasn't managed to injure herself or piss off any of the customers.]

Okay...you can do this, Punzie. You've taken care of big orders before with no trouble, and you can do it again today! And...we'll just pretend those other accidents didn't happen, and we'll move on. Deal? Deal.

[Rapunzel, carrying several plates of food on her arms, slowly and carefully heads out of the kitchen, mindful of where she's stepping. She's not having anymore acci--

And just as she's starting to get confident of where she's walking, she stumbles and goes crashing to the ground, plates breaking and food going all over the place.]

Oh, gosh...! I'm so sorry, I...what is wrong with me today... I'm so sorry, everybody...I'll go clean this up right away...!

[Well, at least none of the customers seem to be angry. In fact, they seem to be rather sympathetic, saying nice things and supporting her as Rapunzel gets up to grab a mop, stumbling over her feet as she goes.]

You, uh, okay?

[tangledintower]

I'm fine...just a bit of an accident. I swear, I don't usually have this many.

[immortal_machine]

...This does not seem like a job suited to your abilities. How do you even walk without killing yourself, at this rate?

[tangledintower]

I'm not normally this clumsy, okay?

[paving]

I think you should wear a hairnet, but maybe they don't make them for hair that long . . .

[tangledintower]

We did try one...we had to use about 5 or 6 of them, and...well, it wasn't exactly cost effective. But I'm careful, nobody's found a 70 foot long hair in anything yet!

[paving]

You have 70 feet of hair? That's pretty impressive. You should be called Super High School Level Long Hair.

[tangledintower]

I haven't heard that one before! I like it, actually!

I'm Rapunzel, by the way.

[paving]

That's what the students in my high school are called. They're super talented in their respective fields.

Oh, yeah, I should've introduced myself sooner! It's nice to meet you. I'm Komaeda Nagito.

[tangledintower]

Oh, that's really cool, actually! I like that!

It's nice to meet you, Komaeda! Are you new here?

[paving]

Yeah, it's really cool. I'm pretty lame compared to everyone else, honestly.

Um, yeah. I just got here a few days ago . . .

[tangledintower]

Oh, I don't know about that. Maybe you just haven't found that thing you're really good at yet!

Oh! Well, welcome to the City! I'd say come by the Jasmine Dragon for a complimentary welcome cup of tea, but...well, today may not be the best day...

[She's broken more cups and glasses than she can count today....]

[paving]

I guess so, though I'm pretty lucky. I'm sure I would've found something that I was good at already by sheer luck.

Thanks! Um, yeah, maybe when you're not so distracted?

[tangledintower]

Maybe that's your thing, then! Being lucky! Good luck is a really good thing to have.

[She laughs and nods.]

Good idea.

[paving]

Yeah, it's my title. I'm a Super High School Level Good Luck student. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.

[tangledintower]

I think it's cool! Being lucky is a great thing to be!

[paving]

It's nice that you're so optimistic!

[tangledintower]

[She just smiles at that.]

It's a good way to be, I think.

... Are you alright?

[tangledintower]

I'm okay...

I'm having all sorts of trouble walking and balancing stuff today, though...

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

You sure you should be working then...?

video;

[tangledintower]

Well, Charlie can't come in today...so one of us has to be here...

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Maybe just be a hostess then?

video;

[tangledintower]

I can try that...

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

This way you don't have to carry anything other than menus.

[tangledintower]

I'm just glad I'm not the only person on staff today.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

If you were, I'd tell you to close down for the day.

video;

[tangledintower]

Heh, yeah...I might close up early anyway. Just to play it safe.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Good idea.

Re: video;

[tangledintower]

Am I the only one acting so clumsy today?

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Perhaps? I feel fine. Haven't tripped once.

Re: video;

[tangledintower]

Okay, so it's just me...maybe its not a curse, then.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

But generally you're not this clumsy.

video;

[tangledintower]

No, not normally...
