This might seem like an... odd question, but is there anyone who's scared of themselves?

[Rapunzel choose for once to not use video when talking to people. It was so people couldn't see her right now. She didn't want anyone to worry about her because she didn't look like her usual cheery self.]

I have become a werewolf of all things and it just reminds me of an incident that happened to me... Some people might be able to remember which incident in question. [One can see hear a small sigh passing by her lips for a moment.]

So... I guess I admit that I am scared of myself and scared that I might attack or even hurt someone. So... I wanted to ask if anyone would be willing to let me stay with them until this passes? Someone I can trust to not get hurt just in case.

[She sounded anxious. But she knew this was the right idea, the right thing to do.]

I would make sure to repay you for the help, of course. Just name it and when this is over I'll give you that payment.

I'm sorry you're scared of yourself, your high- ah- Rapunzel.

I wish I could give you a hug, but I can't do much more than hug a finger or a thumb in my current size. Would you like one anyways?

The children's home is empty right now, so maybe you can stay with me?

[Voice]

[ivegotadream]

Ah, does that mean you shrunk?

[Because last she saw they were not that size. So it seemed like the obvious answer.]

I could, I mean I believe one adult is allowed there, but I think I'd need to ask the owner.

[Voice]

[madcuriosity]

About 3 inches tall, yes. I can't lift the phone or even Basil... It's a bit lonely to not be able to carry him with me though i've only had him a few weeks.

[Voice]

[ivegotadream]

Basil? Who is Basil? A friend?

[Voice]

[madcuriosity]

A friend and my companion! He ah- well if you turn on the video I can show you.

[Voice] ---> [Video]

[ivegotadream]

I can do that.

[After a moment or two she switches the feed to video.]

There we go.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Miss Rapunzel, meet Basil! [She gestures down to the rabbit beneath her feet, because, as she said, she's three inches tall with fairy wings. The plush rabbit is dressed quite smartly in a waistcoat and even in the video, he is clearly very, very fluffy.]

Video;

[paradoxically]

Hey, I know it might not seem like it, but it's a good thing that you know the danger. Knowing is half the battle.

It means I bet you won't hurt anyone

Video;

[ivegotadream]

I only know because I had to face werewolves during a bounty once and I got badly hurt.

So it is good, but the way I found out was not.

Video;

[paradoxically]

I'm sorry. That sounds like it was rough.

But now you can make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else, right?

Re: Video;

[ivegotadream]

It was my own fault. I made a mistake with my trap and was probably overconfident. But mistakes happen, I know that much. Doesn't make the fear any better, though.

I guess... Though I am still worried about what I might do regardless.

[Sounds like her emotions will be positively delicious, so Phibrizzo tugns on the video feed.]

I only have a treehouse, miss, but you can stay in it. My big sister is the best in our world when it comes to magic related to beasts and transformations, so werewolves don't scare me at all.

[Video]

[ivegotadream]

Oh! So you have come across them before? To not be scared of them, I mean.

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

Yeah. I live in Everglade, and there's all sorts of magical beasts and beings where I come from. I lived in a town beside a place called Dragon Valley for a while, and those dragons ate people sometimes. I made money guiding people through there safely sometimes.

[Video]

[ivegotadream]

Do Dragons eat people? I thought they just hoarded treasure like in storybooks and guard princesses, though I never really understood why i that latter case.

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

The dragons in my world eat people and livestock. They're a real pain. Especially since regular spells don't work on them. You have to know some high level spells to deal with them. My father invented a spell that can take out even the most powerful ones in one hit.

[Video]

[ivegotadream]

That sounds pretty impressive. Your father must be a wonderful man.

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

[That amuses Phibrizzo more than he'll admit out loud. His father is darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood which flows - a god of destruction. Outwardly, he just smiles.]

The only magic user in the whole world who's more powerful than him is my mother. One of her best spells can cut anything, including dimensional barriers. If she was here, I bet we'd all be free in no time.

[Lea himself looks different than usual. His red hair bears a striking resemblance to real fire, shifting and flickering, and his eyes have red irises and yellow sclera.]

I have a spare bedroom you could use. And I could probably handle a werewolf if things got hairy; pun intended.

[video]

[ivegotadream]

I must admit. No idea what a pun is...so I don't get it.

But I will consider the offer regardless.

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

A pun is a play on words. In this case the word 'hairy'. Because 'hairy' can mean dangerous, but if someone turned into a werewolf they'd literally get hairy too. See?

[video]

[ivegotadream]

Wait... so hairy also means dangerous. I never knew that.

[Might take a while to get the joke however. Once she does she smiles and gives a small chuckle.]

Okay, now I get it at least.

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea rubs the back of his neck a bit, causing his flame hair to flicker.]

Eh, it loses a lot of effect if you have to explain the joke.Glad you understand now though.

But anyway, the offer's open. And if you just wanted to come visit sometime after all this is over, you'd be welcome to do that too.

[video]

[ivegotadream]

I should really come over and visit more often anyway, so I will come over either today or tomorrow, maybe?

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Sounds good. Any particular time on those days, so I know when to be ready?
