3rd Petal | [Action] | First Day of Event and Beyond

[tailasoldastime]

[Beast has a bit of a suspicion that today is rather... odd... as soon as he gets up.  Mostly because of the chewing noises he hears beforehand... and the fact that these chewing noises are coming from a bunch of rats that are raiding his room.  What.  The.  Hell.  He'll loudly and viciously scare them out of his room without even the slightest

[Rapunzel, too, is on her way out of the grocery store. When she turns around and sees the Beast, her face goes pale. Big. He's big. And pointy teeth. And..........

AND CLEARLY HE HAS EATEN SOME SMALL CHILD AND STOLEN HER CLOAK.

Rapunzel cannot even scream. She is too busy groping for any kind of weapon to defend herself. Unfortunately there are no frying pans near at hand.]

[Oh no, someone's seen him. Really, it's to be expected when you're walking around in public in broad daylight, but that doesn't mean Beast enjoys it any more.

This... remarkably beautiful girl obviously reminds him of Belle when they first met is scared, so he'll do his best to move around and past her as soon as he can to calm both their senses.]

[Calm down, Rapunzel. CALM. DOWN. Just because he has pointy teeth---big, large, huge pointy teeth---does NOT mean that he is going to hurt you!

Trembling, she tries to get a hold of herself. Maybe just a hello. The creature isn't attacking her.]

[paintsthewalls]

Um..........hi.

What a small cloak you have.

[Action]

[tailasoldastime]

[All the better to embarrass the Beast with, my dear. If he had visible skin, you would see it blushing tremendously.]

I... h-hello... uh... th-thank you? [That's the right answer, right? Won't scare her too much, right?]

[Action]

[paintsthewalls]

[OH. He seems shy. That's startling. Maybe he is a nice sort of monster. Like Kurt. Although Kurt's not a monster, he's just blue. Not like this, all hairy with horns and ears and that cloak is just WAY TOO SMALL.]

Why don't you wear a bigger one?

[Action]

[tailasoldastime]

[Phew, she seems okay now... now wait, that hits a bit of a sore spot.

It's not like he decided to put on this dumb thing today!

But oh how he's trying to hold back this frustration through gritted teeth.] I... I can't.

[Action]

[paintsthewalls]

Sure you can! It's easy! You just have to hunt one down.

[A looooong glance at him. Then:]

Possibly in the Big and Tall section? I'm not sure if they have a Big and Tall Hunchback section so we're just going to have to make do. Now. Um. Did you want another one with a...kind of...adorable little...tie-in-the-front bow on it?

[Action]

[tailasoldastime]

[Hey, watch it, Rapunzel, Beast doesn't like being reminded about that!]

N-n-n-n-NO! [Oh no, he flipped a little. Crap, please don't leave pretty girl! Uh, maybe explaining will help! Hopefully?]

I... [Said with a lowered head.] I-I can't b-because i-it w-won't... c-come off.

[Action]

[paintsthewalls]

[SHE JUST WANTS TO SIZE IT RIGHT, BEAST. And then it dawns on Rapunzel:]

The experiment! Oh, you poor......wait. If it won't come off, why don't we just make it BIGGER! You know? Sew it, patch it?

[Action]

[tailasoldastime]

[She... sh-she was going to pity him? Really?

Beast has always wondered if anyone would pity his condition, always kind of hoped, but...

Hey, why didn't he think of that before? Well, he doesn't make clothes, but...] Y... y-you think th-that would work?

[paintsthewalls]

Well it wouldn't hurt to TRY. I've been known to sew a thing or two in my day, you know.

[And there is a great deal of pride in those words.]

[tailasoldastime]

[...]

Wait... y-you're g-going to...?!

[Not that he thinks you're incapable of such skills, but gah, really pretty girl who he's sure is a princess is going to help him?! What will he do? What will he do?]

[paintsthewalls]

[Oh, no; maybe he's another person here who does not approve of long-haired people. Rapunzel is unsure, all of a sudden. But that cape looks so TIGHT.]

It won't take very long, you know.

[tailasoldastime]

[Pft, who is Beast to criticise long hair? Overwhelming, yes, but its shininess and the beauty and kindness of its owner makes it a little easier to overlook.]

B-but you... i-it's no... [He means to say it's no trouble, but he's too flabbergasted by her offer to say so properly... not to mention that it is quite the trouble.]

[paintsthewalls]

Come with me. We can go get more fabric.

[Wow, she didn't mean to freak him out this much. It must be the hair. It's happened to her before, here.]

The shop is just over there. Not far.
