[Aah, morning. The sounds of city streets in the background, and an American idiot in the foreground. What could be sweeter to the ears?]

Hellooooo, City residents! Love your shoes, by the way. Now, correct me if I'm wrong - and I rarely am - but this whole 'super-powers' thing. You're actually meant to... know what they are, right

[Rapunzel is sitting on her windowsill combing a section of her massive hair.]

What's a psychic detective?

[video] That advice is not worth the five dollars I paid to get into this mysterious tent.

[paints_lanterns]

But...

Why would ghosts know about Mother's tower back home?

[video] I'll give you a dollar back if you get me more customers.

[shawnariffic]

Oh, Rapunzel, Rapunzel. The ways of the spirits are mysterious, and their quirks manifold and manifest and mani... thing. Manicured? Whatever.

My point is, these things aren't for we mere mortals to know. I'm blessed only to receive their wisdom, not question its source.

[video] As a psychic, shouldn't you already know where customers are?

[paints_lanterns]

[Suspicious Rapunzel is Suspicious.]

...If you say so. But it still doesn't make any sense.

[Also there is now a very suspicious chameleon peering at the camera from Rapunzel's shoulder, where he just popped out from under her hair. Pascal's got his eye on you.]

1/2 [video] GET OUT.

We must abandon logic and have faith, to comprehend the answers of the spirits. So now you know, and knowing's half the--

You have a lizard on your shoulder. [what is this and where can he get one 8|]

[video] Worst. Fake Psychic. Ever. Also Yo Joe.

[paints_lanterns]

He's not a lizard, he's a chameleon. This is Pascal.

[She holds her arm out and he scampers down it to peer more closely at the screen. And he makes a sort of 'I've got my eye on you, mister.' gesture before he scampers back up her arm and settles on her shoulder again.]

I'm secure enough in my masculinity to say that's the cutest thing I've seen since Gizmo. And boy, was he cute.

[video] Would it be rude to point out that a psychic should know about tags without a notif?

[paints_lanterns]

[She grins, and Pascal preens a bit. But he's still oh-so-suspicious.]

What's Gizmo?

[video] The spirits were angry, and possibly hung-over.

[shawnariffic]

Gremlins? The movie? You've never seen it? [how can this BE?]

[video] Well, ghost-vodka does a number on anybody.

[paints_lanterns]

No...

I've only ever seen one movie. It was on my television last night. '101 Dalmations.' It was adorable!

[video] And it goes right through you. GET IT? AHAHAHAno.

[shawnariffic]

[Oh boy. Oh wow. Clearly, this girl needs a movie night. Or movie week. As Shawn is a charitable and kindly soul, he will take it upon himself to traumatise educate her.]

Okay. You, me, Pascal, a TV and a copy of Gremlins. Maybe a couple of other movies and some snacks. We can fix this. We have the technology.

[video] Wow. That was just...wow.

[paints_lanterns]

[Well, to be fair, she didn't know what a movie was two weeks ago.]

Uhm. Okay...that sounds fun!

What other movies?

[video] They're GHOSTS, they go THROUGH TH- never mind. ¬_¬

[shawnariffic]

Mm, classics. Star Wars! The originals, natch. Indiana Jones. E.T. Short Circuit. The Karate Kid. The Princess Bride. Those should be suitable for... what are you, fifteen? Pascal, amigo, you in?

[video] You should probably be ashamed.

[paints_lanterns]

I'm eighteen. I turned eighteen the day I wound up here, actually...

[She hadn't thought about that much since she arrived. Pascal seems down with this idea though, since he nods.]

What's 'Indiana Jones?'
