First Stolen Jewel ~ Voice/Action

[stop_chasing_me]

[After a minute or two of silence, anyone who's listening will hear Flynn start to speak. There's a hint of garrulousness in his voice, but most of that is covered over by surprise.]

Uh, hello? Is... is anyone there?

[He takes a long look around him, hoping that someone, anyone, will make an appearance and explain to him exactly what's going on

It's a city called Splendor.

[stop_chasing_me]

Splendor?

No, that can't be right. I was- I was somewhere entirely different. But wait, I'm pretty sure I've never seen this place before.

Hold on.

[He poses dramatically as he takes a long look around.]

Wow. No, I'm definitely sure I've never seen this place before.

[He drops the pose.]

So... Do you think you can tell me exactly what I'm doing here?

[patternprophet]

[Have a slightly odd look as Leoben is finding him rather strange]

You've been transported here by a magic music box. As for what you're doing here, you'll have to decide that yourself.

[stop_chasing_me]

[That's because he is rather strange.]

...Right. Now I remember; I was asleep, and I had this weird dream. There definitely was a music box involved.

[That doesn't make any sense, though. Music boxes don't just transport people places.]

Okay... So, there was this tower, and this creepy old lady, and I'm pretty sure she knocked me off. She doesn't like me, you know.

[He sounds pretty casual, just 'cause that's who he is. Oh, and sorry for the explanation, which you probably weren't wanting.]

[There's a pause, as Rapunzel hears that familiar voice. Was it really--she hadn't seen him in months, of course, but...]

.....Eugene? You're here?

Video;

[stop_chasing_me]

[Whoa. Now there's a voice he never expected to hear.]

Rapunzel?

[He sounds appropriately incredulous.]

Video;

[seethelanterns]

Eugene! You're here! You're here!

[She sounds so excited and relieved. She's been wondering if or when he might show up ever since she arrived.]

Where are you? By the entrance still? I'll come get you!

Video;

[stop_chasing_me]

I guess I am, but...

[He has to ask.]

Where is here? And uh, I think so. It looks like a giant hall.

action;

[ofhymns]

[Tear is still trying to get accustomed to the city when she spots something strange out of the corner of her eye. Is that... blood? Though the locals are probably ignoring him, Tear does not. She quickly approaches Flynn, followed by the tap-tap of white heels.]

It looks like you've been hurt badly. Let me help.

action;

[stop_chasing_me]

Huh?

[Oh, right. He's just shown up in a city he's never seen before, covered in blood and reasonably certain he should be dead.]

Oh, this?

[He laughs awkwardly, trying to downplay the situation.]

It's nothing, just a little scratch. I'm used to it.

action;

[ofhymns]

[It happens. Her eyes narrow slightly; she's so not falling for that.]

I'm a trained healer on the battlefield. It's no problem.

[Hopefully it's not her hair that does it.]

action;

[stop_chasing_me]

That's great and everything, but I just met you, so don't you think it's a little weird if you just go poking around?

[Not that he minds, because she's obviously female and well... you can draw your own conclusions from that. But still, she's someone he just met, so it is a little weird.]

Action

[at_a_climax]

[The guy looks confused. And a little roughed up too. Momo's going to tap him on the shoulder.] Hey, bud. You need help?

Action

[stop_chasing_me]

[He turns around to someone tapping him on the shoulder.]

Uh, hey. Look, I know this looks kind of bad, but it's really, really not!

Some crazy lady with a dagger just got a little angry, and well... It's nothing I'm not used to!

Re: Action

[at_a_climax]

Dagger huh? Could get infected. You should see a doctor about that.

Action

[stop_chasing_me]

Huh, you know, you're probably right.

Care to point me in the right direction?

[video]

[talkstoacat]

This place is called Splendor.

[video]

[stop_chasing_me]

Okay... Anything else about this place I should know about?

Someone said we've all been brought here by a magic music box, but anything else?

[video]

[talkstoacat]

Well... yeah. We can't go back home, this place grants wishes and you should have a key to one of the houses in here.

[video]

[stop_chasing_me]

Nope, no key.

So does that mean I have to live on the streets?

[That's not such a bad thing, not really. He's used to it, after all.]
