First Strand * [accidental voice | action]

Flynn? Halloooooo? Flynn Rider? Anyone?

I seem to be.....I seem to be tangled up, over here? This is SO embarrassing...

[Rapunzel has landed in the woods not far to the northeast of House 46. Unfortunately, 70 feet of shimmering golden hair is looped and knotted and snarled every which way in nearby trees and bushes. Her journal is lying not far ( Read more... )

landing, this is a long-haired-people problem, tangled

[Rokuta was heading out to check on the New Feather stations up north, but doesn't get very far before he runs into one. And one in a rather... unique situation.

So there's now a golden-haired kid sitting on a large wolf and staring curiously at the draped hair. Maybe he should offer to help.]

[Well this is awkward. Rapunzel kind of...waves. Smiles and waves. Just pretend nothing bad is happening. Oooor pretend this kind of thing happens all the time. This is nothing. This is a long-haired people thing.]

......Hi.

[action] entaiho July 7 2011, 01:58:13 UTC

[Don't mind him, he's just looking around and trying to trace the length of hair from end to beginning. Which is a little difficult, since he can't really find the end from where he's sitting, and he doesn't want to move any closer and maybe make the mess worse.]

So... do I want to ask how this happened?

[action] paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:03:02 UTC

Um....so there were these trees, right? And.....

They're not so very conveniently located, for some reason.

[She sighs and claps a hand to her forehead. This whole thing is literally giving her a headache.]

I have. Absolutely. No. Idea.

[ ...not much manages to strike anne shirley speechless. she is ever such a grand talker. but this? this is a moment that defied words. she had been on her imaginative, winding way to nowhere-in-particular when she comes across...this.

for land's sakes. her jaw goes slack and anne is frozen somewhere between admiration and good samaritanish concern.

give her a moment. the speechlessness shan't last long. ]

Sooooooooooo hi. I'm, um. I'm Rapunzel. It's...nice to be here, in this forest.

...Rapunzel? [ awe. pure, girlish awe.

of course! the hair makes sense, now. anne breaks out into a rather ecstatic grin. ] Oh. You simply must be new. Hello -- I'm Anne Shirley. Anne with an e. Would you like some help?

[ action ] paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:24:37 UTC

[This girl seems nice! And polite! And mannerly! She can't mean any harm.] A little help would be very helpful. I can't find the end of this piece, Anne Shirley. With an e.

[She holds up one very taut section of hair to show her.]

[That doesn't sound very good.]

Are you alright?

[voice] paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:16:09 UTC

Hmm? Yes! Yes, I'm fine! I'm---everything's under control!

[That is one tense voice, Yue.]

[voice] that smile is terrifying dfgsfdhghdfhgd after_themoon July 7 2011, 02:26:11 UTC

Oh... you're sure? [Yue doesn't mean to pry, but Rapunzel sounds... very, very tense.]

THAT IS MY FAVORITE ICON. XD paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:29:49 UTC

Mmhmm. This is just...communing. With nature. I've never had a real chance to do that kind of thing.

[Whoa, that's a lot of hair... A lot of tangled up hair. So, being a curious derp, he'll follow that hair to the source.

Welp, nevermind the length of her hair. This doesn't look good!]

Hey, d'you need some help?

action paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:28:50 UTC

Hello? [She tugs tiredly on a strand, trying to free it. She would be more paranoid about this newcomer but she's just plain TIRED, now.]

Help would be nice. I'm kind of in a jam.

action risingwinds July 7 2011, 02:49:08 UTC

It's okay. I'll see what I can do!

[First thing's first: he's grabbing the journal for her. Once that's done, he'll turn his attention to all that hair.]

You've sure got a lot of hair! I can try and get it loose, I just don't know how long it'll take.

action paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:56:49 UTC

Long hair is kind of my thing, I guess. Would you mind just not...cutting it? Or tearing it? Because then long hair wouldn't be my thing anymore!

[Ginia is out exploring the area and memorizing all the locations and paths to get there. She comes to a halt when beautiful strands of gold begin draping across the trees. Huh. Curious as to what the source is, she begins to follow along, stopping short once she sees Rapunzel.

Huh.]

[Action] paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:48:56 UTC

[Rapunzel is busy struggling with one particularly tough section of hair, which is caught up in one of those double trees. She is climbing through the middle of the trunk, trying to chase down the end of it.]

Come here, hair. Time to get packed in!

[Action] shadedsunlight July 7 2011, 02:51:58 UTC

[Definitely something you don't see everyday. Ginia watches the struggle for a bit before thinking it's probably time to be a little more helpful. She whistles loudly to get Rapunzel's attention, then gives a little wave.]

[Action] paintsthewalls July 7 2011, 02:56:03 UTC

[That gets the girl's attention. She whirls around---which was a mistake, because it HURTS. Nervous fingers pluck at leaves and other detritus in the hair.]

Hello? Yes? Who are you?
