The 76th Song

[tangledintower]

Um, so...I've been thinking...actually, I've been thinking about this for a while, but given how hot it's been lately, I think this is the best time to ask.

But, well...I can't swim. Or, I can swim, but only a little, and I'm not very good at it...that's 18 years in a tower for you, I guess.

And I was wondering if there was some place here where I could get swimming lessons? Or somebody who wouldn't mind helping me learn?

I can pay, if you want...

I could help. I'm a pretty good swimmer.

[tangledintower]

Really? I'd really appreciate it, Raiden...

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Yeah. I don't mind teaching you.

[Just ignore his tattoos when he's shirtless...]

What days do you have available? I can try and work it around my police duty.

[tangledintower]

[She won't stare too much...and if she does, it won't be cuz of the tattoos.]

I usually get weekends off. Evenings, too, but that depends on how busy the shop gets...

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

[Hurrhurr.]

Hmm. I think the weekends will work.

video;

[tangledintower]

[Though she's never seen tattoos before, so there might be a little tat staring.]

Awesome, thank you so much!

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Heh, you're welcome. Guess I need to go swimming trunk shopping now.

video;

[tangledintower]

Oh, do I need to get a bathing suit?

[She's never had one before.]

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

That'd probably be a good idea.

video;

[tangledintower]

[She wasn't aware that this was a necessary part of the process.]

Is there anything else I need?

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Hmm. Maybe some flotation devices... Oh, and a way to tie up your hair.

video;

[tangledintower]

...I'll need a lot of hair ties, won't I...

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Probably.

video;

[tangledintower]

I'll get a whole bunch. Maybe some sort of hat or something, too. Do you think that would work?

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

If you can fit your hair into it, yeah.

video;

[tangledintower]

I can certainly try to fit it all in!

[She's going to look ridiculous.]

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

If your hair doesn't really bother you, you don't have to tie it up or anything. I just figured it might make things easier.

video;

[tangledintower]

No, it makes sense, I'm gonna try and keep it out of the way...it's always a bit of a chore taking a bath with it, so...

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

You can't trim or burn some of the length off, can you?

video;

[tangledintower]

Ah...no, not really...

[She doesn't remember if he knows about her hair being magic.]

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

[Nope. Just knows she's Rapunzel. But he can sense she's uncomfortable answering]

That's fine then. We'll figure out something.

video;

[tangledintower]

I'm sorry...I know it makes things more complicated, but...

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

No need to apologize.

video;

[tangledintower]

Still, I didn't mean to complicate things.

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

If you were afraid of water, that would be difficult. A lot of hair we can work around.

video;

[tangledintower]

Nope, not afraid of water! Not yet, anyway, and hopefully, not ever!

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

I'll make sure you avoid drowning.


[OOC: It's true.]

video;

[tangledintower]

[ooc: Oh my god that was great.]

I appreciate that!

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Let's just hope there aren't any curses to interupt us this weekend.


[OOC: Raiden is so derp.]

Re: video;

[tangledintower]

Well, now that you said something, something awful is bound to happen!

[ooc: I love his derp.]

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

... Dammit.

video;

[tangledintower]

Don't worry, I'm sure it won't be a bad weekend.

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

I hope not.

You might need a pair of those 'floaties' one wears on their arms to keep from sinking. While you are learning, anyway.

Permavideo

[tangledintower]

I might. Considering I've never really swum before, that might not be the worst idea ever.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I shall find you some. Perhaps ducks. Or lizards. But... how do you intend to swim with such long hair? It will go everywhere and likely tangle.

Permavideo

[tangledintower]

[Serrure, you are so awesome. Duck or lizard water wings? Awesome.]

That's true.

I guess I'll have to put it up somehow...
