3/3 BUT I KNOW SOMETHING'S STARTING RIGHT NOW hair_fu December 30 2010, 19:51:57 UTC
Third person sample: Once they had managed to drag themselves out of the river, there was another minor issue to attend to:

Getting dry.

Now, normally, Rapunzel figured this probably wouldn’t have seemed like much of an issue to Flynn-well, Eugene- happy to get out of his wet, heavy clothes and find some place to sun himself dry, like some big, shaggy dog, but-well, maybe he was shy. And there was a girl present.

With seventy feet of sopping wet hair of her own.

“It glows,” Eugene managed, eying her hair somewhat suspiciously.

“It does,” Rapunzel supplied helpfully, beginning the long process of gathering it all up. In her tower, dealing with it when wet wasn’t as much of an issue. She had a big tub for it, and a lot of ceiling beams to drape it over-no problem. In the woods, however... with Flynn- Eugene! Eugene, she was going to need to remember that-with Eugene’s hurt hand, and Pascal being as tiny as he ever was, she wasn’t about to ask favors.

“What are you gonna do with all that, huh?” There was a minute hesitation mid-sentence, and Rapunzel vaguely wondered if he planned to say “blondie” and dropped it, or something. Who knows? He looked a little bit lost, cradling his hand to his chest and staring at her hair like it would rise up at any moment and bite him.

It was cute, really.

“I’m going to hang it up to dry- like laundry! And while we’re on that subject- give me your shirt.” The sentence was accompanied with a smile, but was met with a sputter and an incredulous stare.

“I’m not just going to-“

“You’re going to get sick. Just the blue one, keep the other one on, and when one’s dry, you can switch it for the other!”

“It’s navy,” he protested weakly, unfastening the latches and peeling it off.

“Nuance,” she chirped, smiling back at him. Pascal gave a happy little grin.

“I think I deserved that.”

“Yeah, I’m thinking you did.”

First person sample: [Oh hey, Vertiline, how's it going? Don't mind blondie here, she's just wandering around and peering into buildings.]

Eugene? Come on, where'd you go? Stop hiding!

[All seventy feet of her hair is braided into a very elaborate plait, with flowers carefully tucked away in the knots. She wanders the smooth cobblestones completely barefoot, tripping over the occasional stray root as she goes.]

Eugene, this isn't a good joke!

[Another pause, as she turns around, hoping to see him sneaking up behind her, and-- nothing.]

It's not funny... I'll turn the whole place upside down if you don't come out! I never lost a game of hide-and-seek against Pascal!

[She's torn between pouting about it-- she was really a few seconds from kissing him, she's convinced-- and bargaining with him.]

Fine! Be that way, don't come out. I'm sure I'll manage fine without you.

[Beat.]

Eugeeene? Come on...

[It comes out as a whine.]
