[The screen first opens up to feet. You see feet. Feet, and a sway of hair. Is that hair? ...no, it’s the end of a braid. A very, very, very long braid. There is shuffling of feet, and the swish of the skirt of the dress, before hands suddenly cover the camera, as it is shifted. You see lime-green eyes, fingers…]
How do I use this…
[There’s more moving, and you now can see down at the young face of the girl. She’s arching a blond brow, biting her lower lip in thought.]
Are you a mirror… [She can see her reflection in it.] Oh! Maybe if I press this thing… [She sets down the device and presses a button. It switches the screen blank, and she makes a confused face.] Um…
[She presses the button again, and the screen comes back to life.] Oh, I get it now!
[She sets down the device and backs away from it, so you can now see her even better. Indeed, she has an incredibly long braid that barely brushes the floor, and she’s wearing a proper pink and purple dress. She gives the camera a smile, and a little wave.] Um, hello! My name is Rapunzel, and I really like your city.
[She lowers her hand to her side.] I’m not really sure that I want to be here, but I’ll stay if you really need me to. [She sways a bit, looking down at her bare feet, looking...uncertain? She looks back up, that smile back on.] I just need something first.
[Her smile grows - toothy and bright.] Can I have a frying pan?
