The 78th Song [Video]

[tangledintower]

[Rapunzel is working in the kitchen, chopping up vegetables while whistling. Pascal is nearby, peeling a potato.]

It'll be nice when the Dragon reopens...I've missed working in the kitchen there, you know?

[Pascal nods in agreement. Rapunzel isn't paying attention to where she's chopping as she's talking to Pascal, and...]

Ah!!!

[She cuts herself. Yep. Rapunzel winces, immediately pulling back, sticking her finger in her mouth...before she blinks, taking her finger out and staring at it, confused. Pascal looks over at her, concerned.]

...Pascal, I taste like peaches. Why do I taste like peaches.

[ooc: Backdated to the 4th, because I keep forgetting what day it is.]

[unflagging]

I dunno, why does she taste like peaches, Pascal?

[video;]

[tangledintower]

[Pascal stares at the video, raising an eyebrow and shrugging his little chameleon shoulders, while Rapunzel goes to get a bandage for her finger.]

[video;]

[unflagging]

Yeah, I don't know either, man.

But, hey, between you and me, she looks like the kind of sweet girl who'd taste as good as peaches, right?

[video;]

[tangledintower]

[Oh, and now you've gotten Pascal into protective mode! He goes red, a nasty look on his little chameleon face. He's got his eye on you, buddy.

And oh look, Rapunzel is back, and she sees Pascal shooting dirty looks at her communicator!]

Pascal, what are you doing? I'm sorry about Pascal, he's...well, he gets grumpy easily.

[And yep, Pascal is grumpy now.]

[video;]

[unflagging]

[Pascal, you're wise to have your eye on him.]

Oh, no--no worries.

How's your finger?

[video;]

[tangledintower]

Better, thanks! Got a bandage on it and everything.

[video;]

[unflagging]

Good! I'm glad. I'd hate for you to bleed all over--especially just because of an accident.

[video;]

[tangledintower]

I should've been paying more attention to what was carrot and what was't...heh.

I don't think we've met before. I'm Rapunzel.

[video;]

[unflagging]

Yeah, well, at least you know how to chop up carrots at all. I think I'd cut my fingers every time if I tried it.

I don't think we have either. Hi! I'm Rory. It's good to meet you.

[video;]

[tangledintower]

I'm usually pretty good about where the knife goes.

It's nice to meet you too, Rory! Are you new here?

[video;]

[unflagging]

It's a useful skill to have, to be pretty good about where the knife goes.

No, no, not really. I've been kicking around for a couple of months now, trying to get my feet under me. You seem pretty well settled here.

[video;]

[tangledintower]

Well, I've been here for a few years now, so I'd say I am! It took some time, though.

I'm good with a frying pan, too!

[video;]

[unflagging]

Now you're just making me hungry.

[video;]

[tangledintower]

[She laughs.]

Well, yeah, I can cook with it...but its useful for lots of other things, too.

[video;]

[unflagging]

Oh?

[A dramatic pause.]

Oh.

Please don't mistake me for a carrot.

[video;]

[tangledintower]

[Rapunzel just snorts and laughs, shaking her head.]

Don't worry, I think you're in the clear.

[video;]

[unflagging]

Whew--! Good!

voice;

[universaltranslator]

That seems to be the curse of the day.

voice;

[tangledintower]

Oh...so it's not just me, then? I guess that's good...

voice;

[universaltranslator]

You don't sound so sure about that.

voice;

[tangledintower]

Well sometimes with these curses, people taste like different things. There was one where everybody was different flavors of ice cream.

voice;

[universaltranslator]

Now that's my kind of curse.

Re: voice;

[tangledintower]

It was really weird!! I was strawberry, or some kind of berry, or something. Can't remember.

[video]

[bendthekey]

I guess if you have to taste like something, peaches are a really good choice.

[video]

[tangledintower]

Oh, yes, I love peaches! Though they're not quite in season yet, so it's a little odd...

[video]

[bendthekey]

Well, tasting like any kind of fruit is odd, whether they're in season or not, I think. Unless you bathed in them. [She laughs a bit.]

If I can taste like a fruit I want to taste like papayas. They're delicious.

[majorcrotchgrab]

You taste like teaches? I smell like them but...

...

[He licks his finger]

... I think today is a curse.

video;

[tangledintower]

...Ah. Well, that would explain it. So, you taste like them too?

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Yeah. It seems like it.

[No wonder Nathan kept nibbling on him]

Re: video;

[tangledintower]

[She laughs.]

Anybody tried to eat you yet? I'm glad I haven't gone out yet...

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Just my lover.

Re: video;

[tangledintower]

[AAAH LOOK AT HER BLUSH]

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Raikov grins]

All in all, not a bad curse.

Re: video;

[tangledintower]

You are terrible.

[But she's grinning, so you know she's teasing.]

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

I know.

video;

[tangledintower]

Try not to let anybody ELSE eat you today, then!

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

I know.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ Yep, people do sure taste like peaches. ]

My money's on a curse.

Re: [Video]

[tangledintower]

I think you're probably right on that one.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Probably. A pretty nice one, considering.

Re: [Video]

[tangledintower]

Could be worse, and nothing is actually trying to eat anybody, so.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Yeah, that's definitely a great plus.

Re: [Video]

[tangledintower]

Do you know if Charlie is affected?
