006 ❂ video

[The video clicks on to reveal a very tired looking Rapunzel. Her eyes are red-rimmed and her cheeks somewhat blotchy with color. It's very apparent that she has been crying. Pascal is perched on her shoulder. There's a sympathetic look in his eyes and he rests his head against her in a pseudo-hug. Rapunzel manages a weak little smile and waves at the camera.]

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let people know that Pascal and I will be staying with Stiles and Derek for a while. My suite was feeling a little...empty all of a sudden.

[For a moment she looks like she might break down and cry right there on camera but she takes a deep breath and holds it in.]

I'll still be working at the clothing shop, welcome center, and hospital as usual so there's no need to worry about that. I just didn't want people to be concerned when they saw I wasn't in my suite.

Well, that's all. Thank you. [She waves again and turns off the feed.]

Rapunzel...

[Anna looks concerned, but she's trying to be strong for her friend. She understands completely what Rapunzel's feeling.]

I... If you ever just... wanna talk? I'm right here for you, okay?

[Rapunzel manages a smile because she really does appreciate Anna's offer.]

Thank you, Anna. It's just...something happened. It's something that's hard to share.

[She returns that smile with a small one of her own. "Hard to share." As if she hasn't had her fill of secrets just yet...]

Oh- Of course. That's okay. I just meant- I guess- Well, whenever you're ready.

I guess-

It's just that-

[She's trying so hard to share but it's as if saying it makes the situation more real and true than it already is. She takes a deep breath.]

Eugene. He's gone.

Oh- You really don't have to--

[But her words seem to come to late and she trails off upon hearing Rapunzel's admission. Immediately, her face falls as well, and then her eyes drop toward her lap.]

..I.. I'm so sorry, Rapunzel... A-At least that means that he... he went home, right?

[She nods slightly.]

I hope so. Home...but without me.

... It- It'll be okay, Rapunzel. You'll get to go home and see him again! They said that things back home would be just the way we left it whenever we go back, so...

I know. I know.

It's just so hard to believe it when he was here just the other day.

I know... I felt the same way when Elsa disappeared...

But it's not like they left on purpose or anything! They just... were taken away.

What? [Rapunzel gasped, looking shocked.]

Elsa is gone too?

Oh... Yeah. And... Hans, too. And I haven't really... seen Kristoff lately either...

[She shakes her head quickly, waving a hand.] But they're all probably home now! And that's good.

Oh, Anna! You should have told me! I'm so, so sorry. [She just wants to reach through the network and hug her right now.]

Is there anything I can do to help?

Oh, no, it- It's okay. I'm okay. [No she isn't, not really, but she's used to putting on a smile and a brave front. Which is what she's doing right now.]

I mean, I- Of course, I miss them! But I'm just gonna have to... wait. Until I get to go home, too.

Would you like to visit? I can ask Stiles and Derek. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

[She manages a smile.]

Maybe. Maybe a little later, if that's okay? I wouldn't want to bother you guys or anything like that...

Of course it's okay!

[Well, she's assuming a lot on Stiles and Derek's behalf, but she'd take the blame for that.]

Whenever you want to come over just...come. We've been cooking and baking a lot so there's lots of good food to eat.

[That gets a little bit of a laugh out of her.]

What've you guys been baking?

Um...bread, pie, muffins...

Oh! And lots of cookies!

Ooooh! That sounds great!

I... Could you maybe, I don't know... teach me how to bake some time?

[Rapunzel lights up ever so slightly.]

Sure! I'd love to!

[So does Anna.]

Really? That's great!

Of course! Whenever you want to learn just let me know.

Oh, I definitely will!

And you're sure that- that Stiles and Derek will be okay with me coming by?

I'm sure. As long as I tell them you're coming they should be fine with it.

They do seem nice. I mean, I've really only spoken to Stiles before, but- He seems very nice!

They are! Stiles is one of my closest friends here. Derek can be...well, he can be a little rough around the edges, but he's a really great guy under all that.

[Anna laughs a little again at that.] Oh, I know the type.

If they're friends with you, then I can't wait to get to know them better!

I just know you'll get along great with them, Anna!

[ Sharon's tone is brisk, businesslike. ]

Who's gone missing?

[Rapunzel looks a little started. She thought she was being so clever about not mentioning it.]

What-? How did you know?

[ Rapunzel, you're a very sweet girl, but Sharon will never let you work as a spy. Ever. ]

You said your suite was feeling empty all of a sudden. That generally means someone has disappeared. Who's missing, Rapunzel?

...

Eugene. He's from my home. He's...[Her breath hitches.] He's someone I care for. A lot.

[ Sharon is quiet for a moment. She's lost so many people here, she has an idea of what Rapunzel must be feeling. ]

I'm sorry, Rapunzel.

Stiles and Derek are good, though, right? You trust them? And they can help you get by until Eugene comes back?

[ If he does. But... optimism. ]

[She nods.]

Yes. Absolutely. I just hope I won't become a bother for them.

[ This girl... How does she even survive? ]

I'm sure you won't be.

What if they do something to bother you? You'll call them out on it, right?

If you don't think you can, you know where I am.

[Rapunzel actually laughed a little at that. It was hard to imagine when Stiles always seemed to be tripping around to make her as comfortable as possible.]

I don't think I'll need to but I always have my frying pan around.

Do you know how to do a right hook? For if you get separated from your frying pan?

[ She doesn't put a lot of stock in frying pans, herself. So come on, Rapunzel. She can show you a whole new world... ]

A right hook...that's punching, right?

[Actual practiced fighting techniques were lost on her. She was more the type to improvise with what she had - namely her frying pan and her hair.]

[ Is she... seriously asking? ]

Yes. It's a kind of punch.

[ Sharon sighs. ]

Yeah, you're getting lessons. I'm not going to have something happen to you because you didn't have your frying pan with you.

I have my hair too, though!

[She pauses, biting her lip.]

But that could be helpful. The more I can defend myself, the better.

Exactly.

When's a good time for you?

[ She'll make a man out of you, Rapunzel. Or at least a woman warrior. ]

[This girl is ready for a train montage like woah.]

Evenings are probably best for now. I'm pretty busy with work and some other things the rest of the day.

Things are getting dangerous at night. I'll come visit you, okay? Does seven sound good?

Yes. That's good. Thank you!

What's your new address?

WO-1D.

Good. Then I'll see you at seven.

[ ooc: Want to just show them training in May or backdate it? We could even handwave it! ]

Great. Thank you!

[ooc: I'm fine with any of those options. Whatever works best for you.]
