Who: Rapunzel ([personal profile] prodigalhairess) & YOU
What: Catchall for general introdution/settling in and event stuff!
When: Early November
Where: Disaster House + All over

Content Warnings: None for now, will update if necessary


[A; 7 AM, The Usual Morning Lineup... (Closed to Disaster House residents)]

[When Rapunzel starts feeling anxious, she falls back into old habits.

Nothing too bad, but in the past few months, she's taken to really diving into things that just keep her moving and busy for hours on end. In the tower, it was her chores and hobbies that kept her from falling too deep into the dull monotony of a confined life. In the palace, it was painting. She'd painted over and redone her entire room to keep herself from thinking about the severity of her parents' missing memories and the threat of Cassandra looming over her. And... it helped, really. Painting each new scene and each new bit of creative flair helped her focus, to keep thinking about the good rather than the bad.

It didn't work all the time. She still thinks of that big, blank spot on her ceiling a lot. The missing piece.

But the point is, Rapunzel doesn't like wallowing forever. So it takes only a few hours after Varian brings her home with him for her to be up and about; she'd been attempting to clean, but the sheer amount of stuff in the Disaster House keeps on distracting her. One moment she might be outside, marveling at the gorgeous collection of plants and flowers in the garden. The next, she might be in one of the many reading nooks, her eyes practically glowing as she skims so many titles of so many books she's never heard of. Or maybe, perhaps, she's in the music room! She's very good at both the guitar and piano, and will probably lose quite a bit of time alternating between both.

... She notices the grave out back, too. But she doesn't want to dwell on that.

So... yeah! You've all got a new roomie, the fabled princess from Varian's world. No time like the present to start bonding, yeah?]




[B; So Many Roads I've Yet to Travel, So Many Friends I Haven't Met... (OTA Everywhere)]

[Even in a dark, ominous city like Trench, it's hard to really snuff out the excitement and curiosity that often overtakes Rapunzel. This is somewhere new, somewhere different, and though there were definitely times where the hairs at the back of her neck stood on end as she explored, for the most part, she just... wants to dive into anything she can find.

Throughout all the districts and all the shops, the golden-haired princess can be found. Trying on clothes - the clothes too dark and warm to fit with her usual attire, but she still wants to fit in!!! - in one store, examining various trinkets or baubles in another. She'll definitely be found rooting through a bookstore, almost overwhelmed with the vast amount of information in front of her. A whole new world, with brand new stories! What's not to love here????

The one time she seems to mellow out is when she passes by one of the statues of the Pthumerians. She's not... unsettled, exactly, though that feeling at the back of her neck prickles. It's more like she seems to be reminded of something, a wary hint of familiarity glinting in those emerald green eyes. The statues are beautifully carved but...

The Great Tree. Janus Point. Gorgeous altars to old magic, heavy with secrets just as ancient....

... Yeah. It's. Certainly a look.

But she tries not to dwell on it for long! Rapunzel's on a mission to learn everything about this new world, and nothing can stop her. Especially not the person she accidentally just walked into-]


Oof- oh, sorry!! I just- [She laughs.] This is all a lot to take in, isn't it? I've never seen anything like it before!



[C; Mushabooming (OTA Everywhere)]

[Rapunzel had a goal today: try and make herself useful for her new friends. She'd already done her best to organize and clean up bits of the house the other day, but she knows she needs to do more for these people who have been taking such good care of Varian. She'd noticed the way mushrooms have been popping up like weeds, so maybe... some kind of soup? Soup's always a perfect ward against the chill of the cooling weather. And she's made her fair share of mushroom soups just from what Gothel would gather, so this is something she could definitely do on her own!

... Of course, she wasn't prepared for the strange fungi popping up. She's already gotten a few good handfuls of portabellos and buttons stuffed in her bag when she comes across one of the weepers. It's... bizarre, to say the least, and Rapunzel can't help but crouch down to examine it more closely.]


Strange...

[She's not stupid, though. After nearly a year on the road, she knows better than to just pick strange plants - especially fungi without knowing what they are. So instead of doing that, she'll plop down there, right on the side of the road, and pull out her sketchbook. It's not her journal - not the one her mother gave her, so stuffed with memories of her adventures thus far - but it's a new one that's already seen some use. She turns to a fresh page, pulls out a pencil, and begins sketching.]

Looking like that, I bet you must have some pretty interesting properties, huh, little guy? Either that, or you're.... really dangerous.

[A pause, and then she shuffles a foot away. She probably shouldn't take any chances, huh?]

But you're still fascinating to look at!

[ ahiru is used to getting up early. ballet always starts in the morning after all, and even though ahiru is a bit ditzy and tends to oversleep or get distracted, she still rouses herself in the dim hours of the morning. first, of course, she leaves a bowl of birdseed by the window so she can make new friends.

but the siren call of music has her tip-toeing closer, spinning a little on her toes with a faint smile. ]

[After eating, sleeping, and video games, shopping was Usagi's fourth favorite hobby! Currently, she was trying out some new hair pins and examining herself in the mirror making a soft noise and adding it to either the "no" pile (which was very small) or the "yes" pile (which was... somewhat ridiculously large).

She reaches out for another hair bauble, this one a pretty little wing clip, when her hand bumped into someone else's.

Oh! Sorry about that! You have it, you grabbed it first! [She looked up.

AH! RAPUNZEL?! Her eyes widened.

[So just when they get a new addition to their home, it turns out they have yet ANOTHER new on in the house, one that will find Luz, already very familiar with the home, mopping the living room, her hair held back by a bandanna (well, not held back, she just wore that because her mom did when she cleaned). Upon hearing the patter of feet coming downstairs, she looked up and saw Rapunzel, giving her a smile].

Rapunzel, right? Welcome to our happy home! Are you finding things all right?

[Varian and Fern took in people like a crazy cat lady took in cats, and all of them had seemed to get younger and younger. Then Rapunzel had shown up, and Reaper had ghosted the hell out of there because that was a lot of hair and sunshine. His own room almost always had the door closed, but unlike the rest of Disaster House, it was painfully neat, sparse of personal items and downright dark thanks to the dark gray paint.

Of course, he knew who she was. After all, he had seen her corpse on the beach not that long ago with everyone else of Varian's regretful past. She was very, very vibrant in life, and he knew it was going to give him a tooth ache.

Still, after that whole scene with Lance and everyone being up in arms about that, Reaper had decided to bake because he actually did that. They wouldn't last long with the children in the house, so he decided to actually make some sort of small effort with the one who might be more adult than the rest.

He approached when she was playing the piano, a plate with some black cupcakes on it held in one hand. He supposed that he should establish some kind of reputation in the house again, and besides, she probably had embarrassing stories of Varian that he would definitely use against the guy in future.]

[ oof— falco stumbles back just a few steps, too absorbed an assorted flip of pages and pictures of mushrooms that were safe for the picking (and the ones that weren't so safe). when the young looks up and starts already— he can't bring the words to reply. not with the voice, not with the hair, the face, those wondering emerald eyes. falco's mouth drops and his eyes remain shocked, dipping just short of her neck where he's come to know a scar. it wasn't there.

for one, if she had recognized him, she would've said so. recognition wasn't there either, only one-sided. ]

[It's still taking Varian time to truly accept that Rapunzel is here. That this isn't just another twisted game of this world- just a hallucination that will inevitably fade away again. But she is here, she's not going away- even if he does surprised little starts every time he catches sight of her. It'll pass, eventually.

He finds her in a reading nook, a little smile crossing his face as he moves to sit across from her. it's honestly nice to see her distracted and happy with something. He knows Cassandra is one hell of a weight by herself, without adding everything else to the mix.

[ How come this is the second blonde that's run into her in just as many days?!

That's the initial thought that goes through Ange's mind, though she's thankfully not as frustrated as she was the other day, so it doesn't give rise to an instinctive need to snap back at the other person for bumping into her. Instead she just lets out a sigh - a deep one, like her very soul is leaving her body.

Like she truly is suffering this bumper-inside-of-a-pinball-machine fate. ]


Ah. [ When Ange speaks up, her voice is flat, almost devoid of emotion. It matches her pokerface, really. ] You must be new here.

[ Judging by what Rapunzel is saying, anyway. ]

.. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad kind of 'a lot', honestly. [ It could be either, considering what Trench is like. ]

[Luca comes across Rapunzel while she's marveling at some books. Does he have any idea who she is? Nope. But he figures she's either a friend of one of his housemates, or maybe she's living here now. After all, this place is huge, and it wouldn't be the first time a new resident was introduced. He's not really too concerned about details like that at the moment, anyway. Right now, he's more interested in the way she's looking at those books.]

I know, it's amazing how many books they have here, right? I was amazed when I first got here, and then I found out the Archives, and they...oh, mother of pearl. You really have to see the Archives sometime. They're amazing.

Rapunzel.

[He didn't know Rapunzel as well as he knew Cass--they didn't live together, after all, and Archer would unceremoniously toss Erwin out or bother him until he left whenever he was over at Rapunzel's house--but she's still a familiar face in a new location.]

She honestly had been too busy cheerfully thinking of the things that she planned to draw when she bumped into someone's legs. Oof. Usually, she knows how to weave in and out of crowd and not get bumped into

Looking up, she see a tall lady with long hair. Klee's never seen such long hair.]

Careful, for all you know, it's going to pull itself out of the ground and latch onto your face.

[ The voice comes directly behind the young woman as a boy with blue hair stands a foot back behind her. He'd been on his own walk around the town just to see what fresh horrors the city of Trench brought into being. He's been staying out of the town and in the house for a whole month; since October always was an awful time in Deer.

But, right now things seemingly didn't seem as awful. So, when he saw this woman just sitting by herself a brow quirked up. Varian had mentioned a friend from back home with a similar description...and...no it couldn't be, though it never hurt to check.

What Rapunzel would see though is a a boy who clearly was not going with the fashions of the time. He purses his lips before he turns to look between her book and the mushroom. ]

[Cassandra has a goal too: find a way out of this place. Unfortunately, that's been slow-going for the last few weeks. With a particular hang-up being that she has no idea what to do around this place in the meanwhile.

Ergo... mushrooms. Mushrooms were a suitable food, provided they weren't horrifically poisonous. There'd been many foraging trips along the road to the Dark Kingdom, in which Cassandra had to point out just which fungi were safe to eat, and which ones would've swollen Eugene's throat shut. It was a full-time job, but her father taught her well enough, as he did with most things that didn't involve being the father she needed.

But then there's.... Rapunzel. Sitting by herself on the roadside, crouched before a mushroom she was... doodling. Yes, definitely doodling. Of course, Cassandra couldn't see just what she was sketching from her position over in these bushes, but maybe if she was quiet enough, she could sneak over--

SNAP

A twig, underfoot. And just like that, the blue-haired woman has ducked back into the foliage with nary a sound.

[Walking into Maul is pretty much like walking into a brick wall with how solid he's built, all full of muscle and metal parts. Reflexively, he reaches out to grab whoever walked into him to keep them from getting knocked to the ground. His hand has claws, though they're trimmed down and painted a lovely shade of orange right now.

Of course, far more obvious is the fact that Maul has red-and-black skin, yellow eyes, horns, and yep, even fangs. Honestly, he looks exactly like the type of person that Mother Gothel had warned Rapunzel was waiting for her outside the tower. But he doesn't seem quite inclined to attack her or do the princess any sort of harm.

Instead, he stares at her with unblinking eyes. He knows this face, not just from Varian's descriptions of Rapunzel but from his very memories as well, some of which Maul has seen after knowing the boy for more than a year and a half. When he finally speaks, his voice doesn't sound at all like one would expect someone with his visage to have. With the low, smooth, velvety tone he sounds more like he should be a narrator of ASMR videos than possessing the demonic looks he has.]


I was the same way when I first came to the town some of us were in before this one. [He pauses a moment, staring at her hair.] You're Rapunzel, aren't you?
