[ You might've noticed; the sidewalks surrounding the tower's 'front lawn' have been done up in all sorts of shades of chalk. There's doodles and pictures of all the people she's seen on the comm and met in real time, like Barbara without her wheelchair, a palm-tree haired guy who's shaded a little lighter than the rest, a tiger-looking animal, and

[ She sort of sinks further into her hair, only her eyes able to be seen. However, it's blatant that she nods. ]

Mmhmm.

[ Pascal rolls his eyes, and explains by turning the darkest shade he can, and making a demonic face. ]

[illuminarian]

[ You can see her pouting in her eyes. ]

Just...a lot of horrible things on the talking box happening...a-and---

[ She sort of shrinks further. Blondie doesn't want to admit she misses him, exactly. ]

*Ichigo pops up on the screen, looking concerned.*

...Rapunzel? You okay?

Re: [Video, Inkside]

[illuminarian]

O-Oh! Uh, I'm fine.

[ She nods from across the room, still, buried in her hair. Pascal begs to disagree, making himself the darkest shade possible, and imitating sharp teeth. ]

[strawberry_roll]

*She nods slowly, not really looking convinced.*

...Uh-huh. Well... Will you do me a favor? Keep an eye out for anything... anything green, alright? And... if you see it...

*Pausing, she bites the inside of her lip, then sighs.*

...If you do see something green, smash it if you can, or... or just avoid it. It's dangerous, okay?

Re: [Video, Inkside]

[illuminarian]

[ She nods, still looking pitiful. ]

O-Okay.

Will it actually...be green? Or...

[fragiledollie]

[Dahlia had to blink a few times and wonder if the bundle of hair was alive. Though it seemed like it belong to someone that was actually inside.]

Um, hello? Are you alright?

[illuminarian]

[ Hello! There's a voice she'd never heard before. ]

O-OH! Yeah, I-I'm fine! Are....are you?

[ Question of the year. ]

[fragiledollie]

[Ditto. And that question should be on a bumper sticker.]

I'm just fine. Thank you for asking...do, do you always hide in your hair?

[illuminarian]

[ She shies up, feeling a bit foolish. ]

Not always, I probably shouldn't, but...it's better than the armoire...

[acoffeetable_ed]

[The screen shows a somewhat concerned Barbara.]
Hey, Rapunzel, everything alright over there?

[illuminarian]

[ Hey! That's a familiar voice! She crawls out from her bundle of hair to see if it is Barbara---and it is! ]

Yeah, everything's...alright.

Just a lot of...scary things coming from this...box thing.

[acoffeetable_ed]

[She's unsure at first but then realizes 'box thing' means communicator, and nods...]
...yeah, there are, no denything that... Think you'd feel safer if I came over there? Or you over here?
[She smiles warmly.]

[illuminarian]

If....if you'd like.

[ There wasn't any way she'd be pried from this tower, nope. Even though Mother wasn't here, she was certain she was safe this high up. ]

D-Do you know where I'm at? I mean, will you be okay?

[hello_bart]

[honestly -- this reptillian friend was far too intelligent for his own good...this was not of import, however, as the young woman he had become so quickly fond of was very clearly distressed]

...Rapunzel? My dear, are you all right?

Re: video//inkside

[illuminarian]

[ Ah, her other new friend! Pascal looks absolutely elated to see him on the screen. Maybe he'd cheer her up! ]

Huh? O-Oh. Yeah, I'm fine.

Just...Not feeling well.

[ Not the whitest of lies. ]

[hello_bart]

[that little creature had a wider emotional range than half the men he's bunked with over the years--]

While I'm hardly the type to call anyone in a lie--my past transgressions, after all--..are you certain that is all that is the matter?

Re: video//inkside

[illuminarian]

[ She was terrible at lying. Oh yeah. ]

...

Just a lot of scary things on the screen lately...
