[ Hang on, she might be getting over that you're a cat. The sign said there'd be talking animals, but...cat. ]

[Yeah let him just get over whatever the hell you are first, Rapunzel. WHERE IS YOUR FUR. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. You look like an amputee victim to the cat D8]
.....
And just what on earth are you?
[Pixie? Leprechaun? Monkey? TALKING MONKEYS?]

Oh. Um...
Human?

... Human.
... I'm half tempted to believe you made that name up. [But whatever] But that is beside the point at the moment.
I would like to know where I am. And a way to get back to Saint Louis. Immediately.
[We are so charming yes we are]

Well, ummm...[ Ah, the sign, here we are! ]
You're in this Ink City place, on the monotone side.
...Is Saint Louis home for you?
Reply
[HELLO SIGN.]
The... monotone side? There are two sides? [One is in color? D8 WHAT IS GOING ON]
That would be it, yes. Now, if you would kindly direct me to where I might purchase a map in this insane asylum, I will be on my way.
Reply
[ Maps. How come she never came to think of a map? ]
Oh, well, um...I'm not sure, actually. I'm a bit lost myself. You think after being here a few weeks I'd learn where things were at, but...this Inkwell is all I'm really sure where.
[ Head scratch. That's a bit embarrassing to admit for her. ]

A few weeks.
[:|]
Yes, you would think one would know more by now, wouldn't you?
[Siiiiiiighhhhh]
Is there anything else you can tell me?
Reply
It's harder without colors, you know.
[ Anything else, let her mull this one over a bit. ]
Well, my name's Rapunzel, it's nice to meet you. And...uh. I can help you look and see if you have any place to live? I mean, until you find your way home, that is.
[ She didn't particularly like the 'THERE'S NO LEAVING' ultimatum when she first arrived, so... ]

[Looking at the hair, yeah]
A fitting name.
[He straightens his coat and tie, before carefully adjusting his glasses.
You talk as if I might actually have a place laid out for me here.
[BUT THAT'S JUST SILLY, RIGHT]

When I showed up, I was out...err, camping. And then I woke up here, wandered for a while, and found my tower. So you might! Maybe. I haven't heard yet of anyone not having a place to live...
Reply
... Fantastic.
Though it seems in this case it will be the blind leading the blind.
[SEEING AS YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING EITHER >:(]
Do you have a general idea or will we both be wandering aimlessly?
Reply
Well, I don't know where anything but my home, and here is. So! I can always get back here, it's just, anywhere else...not so much.
So maybe...half blind.

This is not the impressed face, Rapunzel.
DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD NEWS FOR HIM? ANY AT ALL?]
Reply
I'm sorry...
I-If you don't have anywhere...you can always stay with me.
Reply
No.
[There's a long suffering sigh as he massages a temple]
... I suppose we'll simply have to be methodical. Do you have any method of marking a street or a wall?
[A pointy rock would even do right now seriously]
