9 Lanterns | Video [Locked to those she knows]

[ivegotadream]

[Rapunzel was very close to the feed, she seemed happy if a little bit nervous. After a moment or two she moved back, moving some hair behind her ears before she speaks. Her nerves were clear in her voice, after all, she was doing something she figured was majorly big for her to do.]

Uh, hi there. This might seem a little odd in me doing, but hear me out. I've... spent most of my life unable to leave my tower. My fear and hate were to be forced back into which... Some people saw and I am very grateful for them. I actually owe them something for how brave and kind they were. I'm thinking cookies, maybe.

[She is starting to play with her hair a little bit, she was getting a little bit more nervous. Deep breath before she carries on.]

But anyway that's now what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about the reason, my mother was so protective of me, to the point where I wasn't allowed to leave. She... even went as far as to always tell me about all the awful things that could hurt me, that people will use me should they know about the gift I have.

Which... I know at this point isn't true. At least those I have met, which is everyone who can currently see this. it means I trust you with what I am about to say and... please no one freak out, okay?

[She takes a small breath, closing her eyes for a moment as soon she starts... singing?]

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

[As she started to sing, her hair from the root all the way down to the tip started to glow of all things. That... certainly wasn't normal was it? but the young woman continued on.]

Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.

[Once the song was over, her hair slowly went back to normal as she opened her eyes once again, breathing a sigh of relief that she had done it.]

To explain it... The song kind of makes it a little clear, but I'll explain it anyway. But my hair... can heal most wounds or turn back the clock as the song suggested. Make it so whatever wound you had is no longer there, no scar, nothing. It even works if someones been poisoned. Also, works on animals. [She was not going to go into the whole can make you look young thing. No reason for that one.]

So...yeah. I've said it now. I trust you all to not abuse it should you need it, okay? Don't purposely get yourself hurt because you know. [She smiled, her nerves were slowly melting away, it was over. She had done it.]

Oh, also again, those who helped me with my whole... mother thing. Let me know what kind of cookies you want or if you don't want cookies, what else do you want and I'll be so happy to do it.

[ Look at him, thinking he doesn't get cookies.

Actually, he's more distracted by the magic glowing hair at the moment. Befuddled, asking dumb questions: ]

Uh.

You have magic healing hair?

[ Video | Private ]

[ivegotadream]

I do have magical healing hair.

[A pause.]

It's weird, I know.

[ Video | Private ]

[mortal_son]

... You know, I think I've still seen weirder.

This ranks up there, though.

[ Video | Private ]

[ivegotadream]

You've seen weirder?

I mean what else is weird?

[ Video | Private ]

[pianola]

... Many people would do a lot, to obtain or keep that power.

[ Video | Private ]

[ivegotadream]

That's what my mother always told me. That people would come and take me away because of it.

[ Video | Private ]

[pianola]

[ Her father had been afraid for her, too. But ... she had a lot of conflicting thoughts about her father. Even now, it still seemed very ... complicated.

What would she have wanted to hear, if he was still alive? ]

You are also right, however.

"Many" does not mean "all", and I suspect you trusted a lot of people with this transmission.

[ Video | Private ]

[ivegotadream]

Yeah, it seems weird that I might come off as naive with all of this but... I've seen people who look scary but aren't, I've met a lot of people who are nice.

it seems rare to come across someone I wouldn't trust at least a little bit.

[She was starting to think it was a little odd, and she felt a little bit embarrassed.]

{ Zeref listened patiently. Hair Magic actually did exist in his world; a certain Raven Tail mage made great use of it during the Grand Magic Games, Zeref's familiar - and by extension, Zeref himself - spent a lot more time around that guild than he would have liked. But healing Hair Magic? That's a new one. And-- did she just say turn back time?

Fascinating. }

Would you care to elaborate on 'turning back the clock'? Is there a limit to this ability?

[ video ]

[ivegotadream]

I guess the best way to explain turning back the clock is...[Give her a moment while she thinks about a good example to mention.]

Say you got into a fight and you got seriously hurt, potentially life-threatening. My hair can be used to heal the wounds that were given and potentially save that person from dying.

I guess another example I can use if my mother sometimes starts getting gray hairs and when I sing the song while she brushes she suddenly doesn't anymore.

[ video ]

[deathsought]

So, it's limited only to the span of a few minutes at most, then.

{ Makes sense. Eclipse took an enormous amount of magic to power, more than any single mage could ever provide; that's why it took all twelve Zodiac Keys to open. Neo-Eclipse literally needs an infinite supply.

The implication that she can reverse aging, though... at least on a cosmetic level? That was also interesting. But useless to someone like Zeref, who is immortal. }

You sound nervous, revealing this sort of power. Why is that?

[misalignment]

I'm glad you had help with your mother thing, whatever it was. I can only imagine it wasn't an entirely healthy situation based on this post alone.

[ And getting to why this was actually an incredibly interesting thing: ]

Not to start introducing myself by asking a thousand questions but are you suggesting your hair can prevent death? By changing fate and turning back the clock?

How did you know the right song to sing?

video;

[ivegotadream]

Asking questions is perfectly okay, I mean it is a strange ability to have to some people might not understand.

[She was currently playing with her hair as she spoke.]

I don't know if it can prevent death or bring people back because that's never happened, but given the song, it's a possibility, but not something I want to find out either.

[She really hoped that never was the case, that she would never have to do that.]

My mother taught me the song.

[Video]

[mother_of_monsters]

I guess that explain what happened in Attleton this last week with that woman.

Wait, is that why your hair never gets dirty even if it touches the ground? [Because that's the kind of magic Dray thinks it's more impressive.]

Video]

[ivegotadream]

Uh, yeah. She always wanted to keep me safe from people who'd want to use my hair for bad purposes.

[She paused, she never really thought about that as much.]

I can get dirty if things get stuck in it anyway. But that isn't anything to do with the abilities I have.

[mother_of_monsters]

She had a really strange way to show her concern.

Bo? Oh then you are lucky.

[Dray's eyes narrow slightly. he doesn't know the fulls tory and he shouldn't pry but he knows people like Gothel all his life. People worse than her too. There were some big warning signs int eh things he had seen in Attelton when he witnessed Rapunzel's fears. So he locks the conversation.]

[Locked]

Don't you think it means something important that she was part of your fears, last week?

[k2so]

That's amazing, Rapunzel. [Also kind of illogical but Kay knows that magic doesn't make sense.] Does it work with droids?

[ivegotadream]

I don't think it's that amazing, but... if it helps. As for if it works on droids, I have no idea.

[k2so]

The ability to heal yourself and others at such high rate is extremely rare, I'd say it fall into the amazing category, without doubt. Hm...we are not organic so it would make sense if it doesn't.

[video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[OK, that's cool. And kind of pretty. But more cool.]

Whoa...

OK, I can see where that would come in really handy. Never met someone with a built-in Curaga before.

[Only it doesn't look quite like a Curaga. And it also apparently works like a Panacea. But that's the closes thing he can think of to compare it to.]

[video]

[ivegotadream]

Curaga?

[She has no idea what the heck that is.]

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

'Curaga' is a healing spell; the strongest one most people can learn. It doesn't work exactly like your hair apparently does, but it was the closest comparison I could think of.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Well. That's different. Magic hair. You never stop learning new things in this place, huh? But this is far more than a curiosity. ]

I've never seen anything like that. [ Cassian's voice is soft, soothing. ] I thank you for letting me be one of those you trusted with your secret. It's a great power, I can see people going to great lengths to attain it. So... I thank you.

[ivegotadream]

You're welcome. I just hope people actually don't go to great lengths to attain it, or at least me anyway.

[She had a reason for saying it in that manner.]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian gives her a sympathetic look. ]

If you ever run into any trouble, the Guardians will not stand for anyone trying to attain you.
