The 67th Song [Action/Video]

[tangledintower]

[Rapunzel is sitting on a bench in the park, looking up wistfully at the sky. Floating around her head are paper lanterns that glow softly. Copies of the lanterns she's still dreaming about seeing when she gets home.

She goes to touch one, but the instant she does, it dissolves into dust and a voice that only she can hear, and she sighs.]

I know they're not real, but I just keep hoping...I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever get to see them for real at this point, or...

...I miss Eugene.

Eugene?

[tangledintower]

Oh! Er, I guess he prefers Flynn over Eugene....he's a...friend of mine from back home. He's been gone a while, but I guess I still miss him.

[favoritetraitor]

It's difficult to be separated from those we care about, isn't it?

[ooc: unusual behavior to be explained by being under the effects of a powerful enchantment.]

[tangledintower]

[ooc: works for me! :D]

Yeah...I keep telling myself that he's okay and I'll get to see him again, but...I still miss him. He was my first real human friend.

[favoritetraitor]

Do you have many non-human friends?

Private

[worldofourown]

Who's Eugene~?

Private

[tangledintower]

My first friend that wasn't a chameleon.

Private

[worldofourown]

How did he manage to scale your dreaded tower?

Private

[tangledintower]

I...actually, that's a very good question. I'm not sure, I was too busy freaking out and hitting him on the head when he first showed up.

[Raiden's been on the look-out for his nightmare self and dozen of other soldiers he usually ends up killing. He spots the laterns and can't help but stop and watch for a moment before he approaches Rapunzel]

Excuse me, miss...

[tangledintower]

[She's a bit surprised to hear another voice, and jumps slightly.]

Oh!

Oh, sorry, you surprised me. Hi.

action;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Sorry.

[Might I mention he's dressed in his Skull Suit. SECRET AGENT MAAN. Who sticks out like a sore thumb.]

You might not want to be outside today...

action;

[tangledintower]

[She did notice he was dressed sort of...odd. But she's decided to not say anything about it.]

I know there's a curse on, but...is there a specific reason why?

audio:

[charring]

I want to make paper lanterns, Rapunzel.

audio:

[tangledintower]

[This is surprising to her.]

Really?

I...that's a great idea...I have no idea how to make them, though...

audio:

[charring]

Oh, definitely. I'm sure we can find information somewhere for it. Maybe at the library? We can go after work someday and look.

audio:

[tangledintower]

I think that's a great idea!

[They won't be the lanterns from home, but she'll finally get to see them...]

[oceantrauma]

Eugene? Friend of yours from home?

[He's thinking this is a rather sad dream. Not being able to touch something she wants to see so badly. As for Ken, he's surrounded by large, shiny bubbles.]

video;

[tangledintower]

He goes by Flynn, but I always call him Eugene. He's back home now, and I guess I miss him.

...do you mind if I ask what's up with the bubbles?

video;

[oceantrauma]

I miss people from home, too. Why does he have two names, though, if it's alright for me to ask?

No, not at all. They're.... I'm not really sure. I've been dreaming about them more since the day of the pictures. I have one of my brother and me blowing bubbles together. That's probably why.

video;

[tangledintower]

Well, one's his real name, and the other is the name he goes by that he gave himself. There's a story there, but it's not really mine to tell...

Oh. Well, at least it's a nice dream, right?

video;

[anunluckypenny]

Feeling homesick?

video;

[tangledintower]

Yeah, maybe a little bit.

video;

[anunluckypenny]

Do you want to talk about it? I can listen.

video;

[tangledintower]

I just miss my friend from home, that's all...he was here for a while, but then he left and it's been...lonely without him. Even if I have friends here.
