The 83rd Song [Video]

These weekends are always so strange.

[ooc: Nope, no idea that this memory was posted. Poor Rapunzel.]

She's some piece of work, your 'mother'.

[She's only just realized what's made its way onto the Network.]

I didn't know this was up...

Ever considered knocking her upside the head and escaping?

Well, technically, I knocked my escapee associate upside the head...and I guess I'm technically still escaped at home, so it hasn't been necessary yet.

But I'll keep it in mind.

Nothing like a clunk on the head to start a good business relationship.

[ Good on you, Punzie. ]

...She is insufferable. And I've only been treated to a few moments of her prattle.

Hey, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

[She can totally take care of herself. Her and her trusty frying pan.]

She's my mother...well, I know she's not, but she raised me. I'm used to it.
Just hope she never comes here.

[ Wry but not quite sarcastic. ]

A few bruises - [ And dislocated bones. ] - usually does herald a memorable start.

[ Just ask him and his family. ]

She didn't raise you so much as lock you away. Smother you. There's a difference.

[Flynn's got a skeleton made of steel. He can really take a hit to the head.]

I know...but she could have just kept me in a cage for my entire life. At least she let me have my hobbies..and I don't know. Maybe, on some level, she does love me for more than the hair.

[ Sighhhh. ]

That's Stockholm Syndrome talking.

[Blink blink.]

Whatholm syndrome?

It's a condition where you start to think your captors care for you. Mostly because they hold so much power over you.

She raised me for 18 years, what am I supposed to think?

Hardly blaming you. It's a natural reaction.

[ His eldest brother, Amshel, kept Diva locked in a tower for decades. Performed hideous experiments on her. But he was also the only contact Diva had to the outside world. She clung to him, even after she was freed. ]
