[When the screen clicks on, it might take people a few moments to realize who the short-haired brunette standing there looking somewhat lost is, unless they saw her when her hair was cut off last year. But the green eyes are rather unmistakeable, and the green chameleon that hops up her arm into view just cements the obvious.]

I...I'm back.

VIDEO; and he's human this time too

[gatewhatgate]

[ The monster is kind of squinting at the screen, finding Rapunzel familiar but difficult to recognize without the hair. He knows this person, right? ]

You're a princess?

VIDEO; Neither of them will recognize the other!

[paints_lanterns]

Well...Apparently? I, uhm...wasn't really expecting it but it's the only thing that makes sense!

Re: VIDEO; Neither of them will recognize the other!

[gatewhatgate]

You were a princess but you only now now you're a princess and that makes more sense?

[paints_lanterns]

No, I...I didn't think I was a princess, I mean, the whole idea of it...but...

Once I was in town and saw the picture of the baby, and then I was back in the tower, right? And mother was acting all strange and I just...I just knew.

*Kaylee's got her careful listening face on.*

That's a lot f'you to be dealin' with, ain't it?

Re: video;

[paints_lanterns]

[Rapunzel squints at the screen for a few moments before the name pops into her memory.] Kaylee! Hi.

Well...Yeah. It really was. So much happened, it was only...really, it was only a few hours, not even a day but just...

[She trails off and just gives a little shrug.]

[shiny_lilkaylee]

I'm sorry.

*That's one of many things here that she's kind of afraid of, going home and coming back. It just seems like it would be scary and upsetting.*

But just one'a those days changes ev'rything?

[paints_lanterns]

It...that's actually the perfect way to put it, I mean everything I knew about myself was a lie and...

[She trails off and frowns, tugging at her hair again.]

And I'm not supposed to be here, I...was going to see my parents!

[guess who else looks very different? Opposite eye showing and goatee and all that]

Miss Rapunzel! You were gone, too? And you're a princess? Really? Amazing!

[video]

[paints_lanterns]

Sanji! [She smiles.] I like your beard, it's very dashing.

And, I think so? At least, Mother never denied it when I guessed, but I don't...I mean, nothing else makes sense!

[video]

[notadartboard]

Ah, thank you! I try~.

You know, I always had this feeling. I can usually tell. Something about the way you and Miss Giselle used to get along, I was almost sure of it. But then, I like to treat all ladies like princesses anyway.

[paints_lanterns]

But I don't know for sure. I...Eugene and I were going back to the castle to ask to see the king and queen. My...parents. Maybe.

[ofcompanyb]

Are you all right?

[paints_lanterns]

I...yes, I think so. I'm just...it's all sort of coming back in a blur, I think.

Have we met? I'm sorry.

[ofcompanyb]

Well...I don't think so, but.

Hi, I'm Blue.

[paints_lanterns]

Oh. Okay. [She smiles sheepishly.]

It's nice to meet you, Blue. I'm Rapunzel.

permavid & text.

[brevipennate]

Are you really a princess?

[paints_lanterns]

Nill! I...I think so?

I can't say for certain, but...I'm pretty sure.

[brevipennate]

That is very cool. You should watch the movie The Princess Bride it is very good.

[paints_lanterns]

[It takes Rapunzel a few seconds to remember what a movie is, and then she gives a little nod.]

Okay. I've never seen it. Is it a...guide to being a princess?

Because I have no idea what that means, honestly.
