The Final Ball

[fairygodmother]

[For those of you in Splendor already, you'll probably have noticed the spooky decor the city has donned throughout the past week. With nothing else of of notice to be mentioned, it seemed like everything was just going to be a repeat of last year

[Rapunzel looks around. It's strangely familiar, yet a little more comforting in some ways in that she was more aware of her surroundings. The Entranceway. She had been about to leave with Eugene, about to go home, to her real parents when she had found herself here, the Pegasus mysteriously disappeared. Her trademark 70 feet of long blonde hair cut short and now a dark brown.]

Splendor....

[ You are about to bump into a young, confused man. He stutters an apology, but he stops to look at her again. He doubletakes, even. ]

S-Sorry. I didn't mean to... to run into... you?

[seethelanterns]

Ah--it's all right. [She gives a small smile, biting her lip uncertainly before...]

...Edel?

[apathycary]

--!

[ Still caught off-guard. She looks so familiar, but Edel is still under the impression this is all a dream. Certainly not thinking this girl once helped him long ago with his... magical problem. Not at all! He's trying to be as logical as p-possible! ]

...Yes? Do I... know you?

[seethelanterns]

O-oh! It's...it's Rapunzel. I guess you might not recognize me without all the hair....

[She mumbles, a small, sly smile, wringing her hands a little.]

[apathycary]

...

Rapunzel?

[ No, seriously, he turns to face Rapunzel dead-on now. He doesn't want to necessarily touch her to uh, scare her- no, but he's surprised! ]

What happened? You look...

... [ Different. No, that's an awful word. ] ... pretty. Uhm. I- yes.

[seethelanterns]

Thanks. It's...going to take some getting used to. At least it won't take hours to wash and dry anymore though. But I..uh, got it cut, finally?

[She is still adjusting to the idea of not having her hair, the consequences, and realization of her parents and Gothel, along with her death. But she keeps her smile, laughing lightly.]

[apathycary]

By practicality standards, you have made a great leap forward. I'm... a little surprised. Are you a witch? Or did you just dye it? I suppose that's simply your business, but it certainly changes... how you look overall.

[seethelanterns]

It...is more practical, yes. As for my hair changing colour, I'm not sure. It just changed when Eugene cut it.....Probably from losing it's powers.

[apathycary]

...Your magic. You lost your magic...

[seethelanterns]

Yes. I can't...I can't use my hair as before.

[A green lizard runs up to you first, Rapunzel, followed by this weird baby]

[seethelanterns]

Oh! Look Pascal, it's your friend! [Exclaiming as she sees the small movement of green, recognizing it easily before looking to Reborn.]

Hello!

[ombrasolare]

[Takes his hat off and bows, as Leon and Pascal chitter about something] How lovely to see you again, Rapunzel.

[seethelanterns]

It's nice to see you too, Reborn! I'm..glad you recognized me, at least. And I'm still not sure why we were brought back. I trust you've been well though? Did you go home for a while too?

[ombrasolare]

I did. I got dragged away in the middle of something but... [smile] The company is better, so far.
