The 84th Song [Video/Action]

[tangledintower]

[Another day, another curse, and Rapunzel is hard at work in the kitchen of the Jasmine Dragon, Pascal hanging out on her shoulder.

It's her first time making pie jars without Charlie's assistance, and she wants to make sure she can get them down perfectly before the Weasley's birthday party.]

Okay, Pascal...moment of truth. They're almost done...all that's left is to take them out and let them cool. You think they came out all right?

[Pascal smirks, nodding before gesturing to the oven.]

Right. Only one way to find out.

[And with that, the oven dings, and Rapunzel grabs her oven mitts, removing the pies and placing them on a cooling rack before taking a closer look.

They're perfect. She lets out a noise of joy, before picking up Pascal and smooching him. The gesture came out of nowhere, and they both look rather shocked.]

Er...sorry, Pascal...I don't know what came over me...

[She laughs nervously, putting down Pascal, who gives a fond and exasperated sigh.]

I should get these out to the customers...

[ooc: Action to anybody at the Jasmine Dragon, or whoever wants to smooch Punzie!]

[ If one more human kisses him, he'll start a massacre.. ]

[ -- Annoyed, Karl makes his way through the crowded streets. He's half-considering traveling by flight. The better to avoid unwanted encounters. He's not in a playful mood today. Between Diva's departure and Solomon's 'condition', there's too much on his mind. ]

[ And so he accidentally bumps into Repunzel, with a little more force than necessary. ]

...Watch it. [ The warning is out before he even recognizes her. ] Oh. Hello.

[tangledintower]

Oh, hi, Karl!

[She gives him a bright smile.]

Sorry, didn't mean to bump into you.

[worldofourown]

That's fine.

[ He steps aside to let her pass. A polite, formal, absolutely human gesture that would fill anyone else with suspicion. Fortunately Karl's not in a sanguinary mood today. ]

[tangledintower]

[And she can tell. Karl, being polite? Suspicious.]

You're not normally out and about at this time of day...

[worldofourown]

[ A muted sigh. Why is everyone is the City so curious? ]

It's as good a time as any. It's not like I'll burst into flame.

[ He's taking a walk, okay? He's got broody thoughts on his mind. ]

What's wrong with kissing your pet?

[tangledintower]

....er....well, it just sort of came out of nowhere, I guess. I don't normally smooch Pascal like that...

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

You were happy? ... Unless today's a curse day.

video;

[tangledintower]

...is it a curse day today?

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

I.. think so. A lot of people have been feeling kissy today.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

He does not seem to have minded.

Permavideo

[tangledintower]

I think he's used to this sort of thing by this point.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I kissed a dog on the nose.

It was... rather moist.

Permavideo

[tangledintower]

Really?

[She laughs a little at that.]

Well, at least I'm not the only one who's kissing animals...

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Animals seem a safer bet than some of the people here, I should think.

[firesneeze]

So this is Pascal.

[ Going to tease her a little. ] He's pretty cute.

video;

[tangledintower]

[She blushes. This is incredibly embarrassing.]

Er...yeah, I guess he is...he's my best friend.

Bolin told you about him?

video;

[firesneeze]

Nope. But I'm sure you mentioned him when we first met. You talked about the teashop.

Pascal to you is kind of like what Pabu is to Bolin by the looks of it.

video;

[tangledintower]

Oh, I probably did.

Yeah, Pascal is my Pabu...they've actually met, and they tried to out show-off each other...

video;

[firesneeze]

Did they? I didn't take Pabu as the competitive type. Huh.

[errandry]

[ well, he was looking for Chinese takeout when he ducked into the shop to ask, but now he's just distracted. ]

Whoa—is that a chameleon?

[tangledintower]

Oh, yes. He's Pascal, my best friend.

[errandry]

Pascal, huh. Nice to meet you! [ this to the lizard. ] Is he sentient or something?

[tangledintower]

Well, he's pretty smart.

[errandry]

Capable-of-higher-communication smart?
