( Filtered AWAY from Rapunzel | 90% )

[ It took some time to learn how to do this. He had to enlist Kurt's help, and even then it took days and days of practice. This filtering thing just doesn't come naturally to him. Not to mention he only finally caved to the idea of asking the village at large for help after he realized he couldn't learn to

[ this...this is too perfect for buffy not to respond to. too fairytale -- to absolutely positively exactly the sort of thing to help her feel bett--...did he just say rapunzel?

the slayer stares. clears her throat. ]

I...I know a guy with a little dinghy. He uses it to get from shore to a bigger boat, sure...but -- uhm. [ she loses some steam. caught up in the story. ]

[ voice ]

[gasconadead]

As long as it can hold two people and won't capsize at the slightest movement. [ He remembers Rapunzel's excitement knocking him over the first time. ] I'm not gonna be too picky.

[ voice ]

[slaying]

...It's well-built. But it's also not mine. I'd have to put in a good word.

[ voice ]

[gasconadead]

You wouldn't mind? [ Quietly, a little hopefully, a little humor. He's trying to convince himself not to rely too much on the kindness of the other villagers, here -- he's more than willing to put in work of his own. But still ... the offers are good. This is good. Maybe it'll make her happy. ]

Huh? [ He turns from staring blankly at the shelves to look at her. Spaghetti just flicks her tail and kneads her claws into Flynn's shoulder. He makes a manly show of not wincing. ]

[ It is impossible to resist the adorable allure of the teeny ninja cat. He should know. He reaches up to scritch Spaghetti's head, and she leans into his fingers. ]

Uh ... I'm looking for books on lanterns. Or boat building. Or both.

[Voice]

[beardpuddle]

I do not know how it is done on your world, but making something as small as lanterns float should be simple. I can offer my assistance in that, if you wish it.

[Voice]

[gasconadead]

.... can you make things bigger than lanterns float? [ Totally off topic, but come on, that kind of statement begs the question. ]

[Voice]

[beardpuddle]

Yes. The spell is most often used on people, rather than objects.

[Voice]

[gasconadead]

You can- you can make people float? Like, whenever you want? [ Why isn't this guy insanely rich and/or in some kind of jail? ]

[voice]

[thedicearecast]

[Amelia recognizes the girl and the story. Otherwise, she wouldn't be making a reply.]

So you're Flynn.

[voice]

[gasconadead]

The one and only! The great and wonderful. [ Imagine a mock bow goes here. ] Why, does my reputation precede me? [ Part smarm, part charm, all cheerful. ]

Re: [voice]

[thedicearecast]

[And all directed at the wrong target.]

Oh please.

[He'd sounded almost sincere when he was talking about the lanterns too.]

I was going to offer to help, but if you're just another idiot, forget it.

[voice]

[gasconadead]

Whoa, hey! Isn't that a little quick to jump to conclusions? Judging a book by its cover? For shame. [ He gives a quiet tsk. Then he shrugs, grinning. ] I'm in a good mood, what can I say? You would be too, if you could make someone else's dreams come true. [ Sincere, again. What's with this guy? ]

[pugilistinpink]

[While listening, Mac cannot help but feel that it's 'real nice a' this guy t'wanna do somethin' like this'. He doesn't know he could be of service, but he volunteers nonetheless, both for Flynn and Rapunzel's sake.] ... How can I help?

[gasconadead]

Know how to make lanterns that float?

[pugilistinpink]

... No idea.

T'be honest, I never heard a' floatin' lanterns 'til now. When y'say floatin', y'mean, flyin'? Like, these things actually go up in the air an' stay lit up an' all?

[gasconadead]

[ Holy moly, that's some accent. ] Yeah, that'd be the idea. Sooooo ... not lanterns, for you. How about boats? You got a boat hiding anywhere?
