The 82nd Song [Video]

[tangledintower]

[Rapunzel frowns, focusing on the row of plastic bottles set up in front of her. She’s got a frying pan in one hand, her hair in the other.]

Okay, so...let’s go through this again. I’m gonna tie my pan to my hair, then use it basically as a whip, and hit the cans...right?

[Mindy nods, grinning. This had been partly her idea and it was beautiful. Rapunzel had taken to this beautifully.]

Yeah. Try for the bigger empty soda bottle. [Mindy drew a frowning face on it and three fingered claw-hands.]

Okay, hold on.

[Rapunzel ties her hair to the end of the frying pan, frowning in concentration.]

Okay, here goes nothing...

[Despite the weight of the frying pan, Rapunzel has no trouble using her hair as a whip, throwing it and the pan at the bottle, knocking it down with ease. She grins in triumph, making a slight ‘oomph’ noise as she pulls the pan back.]

I did it!! How was that?

[Mindy is is too excited to answer at first, whooping and shouting excited obscenities, both fists in the air.] That was fucking awesome! Try for the soda can next to it.

Can do!

[She repeats the process, knocking down another soda can, going for a third one.]

I think I’m getting the hang of this!

[Mindy’s grinning from ear to ear, clearly proud of Rapunzel.] You are! Check you out! This is the coolest thing I’ve seen.Now...tough question. [A pause.] How many do you think you can get in one shot?

Hmmm....three? Maybe more if I angle the throw right...want me to try?

[She pulls her hair back, readying it for the throw as the video cuts off.]



[ooc: Red is Mindy, pink is Rapunzel.]

You're really gonna whip your hair back and forth? —Aim it from the side!

[tangledintower]

[Poor Rapunzel will never understand why people think the hair whipping is funny.]

Good idea!

[And she's able to take out FOUR bottles this time!]

[errandry]

Hey, you nailed it!

[tangledintower]

I'm really starting to get the hang of this!

[hatedbyfanboys]

... That's quite a weapon.

[errandry]

Isn't it kind of a pain to have to pull the whole thing back after every shot, though?

[tangledintower]

A little...but you get used to it. And it really isn't so bad, if I'm not throwing all of it.

[tangledintower]

Oh, thank you! I never really thought to use my hair like this before...

[errandry]

Wait—

[ peering at the feed a little more intently - ]





You're serious, that's really not the whole thing, is it!

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Good for self defense, that's for sure.

[tangledintower]

Oh, no. I think it'd take a long time if I tried to throw all my hair at once...

video;

[tangledintower]

Mindy thinks so! It'll take some getting used to, using it like this...but given some of the curses, learning how to do this isn't a bad idea.

[hatedbyfanboys]

I could probably give you a few pointers as well.

video;

[tangledintower]

Really? I'd like that, actually...

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

I've already taught you how to swim, after all.

video;

[tangledintower]

And I am very grateful for that, thank you very much! You're a good teacher, too.

[errandry]

Could be another weapon all by itself, yeah. Man, it's gotta grow pretty fast.

[tangledintower]

Well, it's sort of slowed down now, but it was sort of like a weed for a while!

[errandry]

That kinda makes sense, but it's still pretty unbelievable! You can't—control it or anything?

[tangledintower]

Not really, no...

[errandry]

... well, I guess if you ever had to catch somebody running out of a building, you could just lean out of a window and dump it on 'em, too.

[ USEFUL CONTRIBUTIONS. ]

[hatedbyfanboys]

Heh, thanks. That's my first time teaching anyone.

[tangledintower]

[...she never thought of that. And as insane as it is, it makes her laugh.]

I could! I bet 70 feet of hair would really slow them down!

video;

[tangledintower]

Well, it was really great of you to do it at all. Thank you again.

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

No problem at all.

video;

[tangledintower]

So! Extended lessons! What are you thinking of, specifically?

video; did I srsly forget to log in Raiden...

[hatedbyfanboys]

CQC. Close quarters combat. Incase people get past your hair.

video; I didn't even notice...^^;

[tangledintower]

Okay, good idea! When should we start?

video; Raitwin magic.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Whenever you want.

video;

[tangledintower]

Does this weekend work?

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

As long as there isn't a bad curse, yeah.

video;

[tangledintower]

Sounds good to me!
