I ♔ ＬＡＮＴＥＲＮ 【Action】

[alwaysgrounded]

[It was one thing to go from summer time to winter time, but it was another thing to do that when something very dire has just happened and one had been taken. So the first thing on Rapunzel's mind was not that she was in a brand new place as much as she needed to go to Eugene's aid. She had been so frantic in her actions that she fell out of the pod and into the chilly water. Pulling herself out of the water, she tried to ring out her dress a little to get rid of some of the water at least. Her dress was one thing, but her hair was another story. Reeling in her hair, she tried to pull it all out -- or at least most of it -- before attempting to sort of ring that out as well.

The stuff that you arrive with? Yeah.... She forgot them in a hurry, so with no idea about these items, she tried to find somebody or something to go by. She needed to get back to Eugene somehow.]

E-Excuse me! Please help me! I need to get back to my friend.

[Calling out to people, with no avail.]

Please! I need to get back. He's going to die on me!

[Despite being soaked from head to toe from the fall, there were also tears running down her cheeks. Eugene was going to die and she could save him. She could have saved him with her hair and... Now she was gone. She didn't have time for this!]

It was fortunate then that Sakuya happened to be passing by. The maid was doing some last minute Christmas shopping and was carrying a bag filled with several select items (as well as a small box of still meaty rib bones for Castlevania's werewolves).

She paused upon hearing Rapunzel's voice. An incident perhaps? She took a moment to check her pocket watch before vanishing into the void of time, quickly locating the source of the screaming. No, not an incident. Just another panicked new arrival.

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes she straightened up, tapping her watch once and resuming time, seeming to appear in a ripple of chilling energy. Hopefully that would be enough to snap the frantic woman out of her hysteria.

"Please calm down. No one is going to die."

But... Eugene... He's been stabbed..

He needs my help. I can help him but I need to get back to him!

[sakuya_izayoi]

"I gathered that someone has been stabbed." Sakuya had to avoid sighing, closing her eyes for a moment to keep her irritation in check. Maybe someone was actually stabbed and things will get interesting? She held up a hand to stop Rapunzel.

"Is it safe for me to assume you just woke up? In a metal pod?" Then again she was soaked. No doubt she fell out into the bay...

[alwaysgrounded]

[Well sorry if the guy she loved was dying while she was taken here and she could save him.]

Well.. Yes.. I.. I think so?

[sakuya_izayoi]

"Then you have nothing to worry about. You've been spirited away to another world." She held up a hand to stop Rapunzel before she could object again. "Time will not advance in your world until you return. So your friend will not die."

She straightened her shoulders. "This is all explained in the information provided in the pamphlet. I assume you did not read it?" She also didn't seem to have taken the provided phone and necklace. "You will need that as well as the other objects given to you if you wish to survive here."

[alwaysgrounded]

But... How is that possible?

[So he... She could save him after all..? If that was true, she would feel a little better, but that doesn't change much for her. She was still worried.]

I... No I didn't. I didn't even notice those...

[sakuya_izayoi]

"None of us are really sure how this was possible. All we know is that we are here now. There's no changing that." The maid let out another sigh, though this one was far less irritated than the others.

Her eyes flashed red and there was a ripple of chilling energy as the maid vanished momentarily, reappearing with a necklace, the pamphlet, the phone, and the envelope in hand, offering them all to Rapunzel. "Here. You will need these. The necklace especially. Do not lose it."

[alwaysgrounded]

[You'll have to excuse her shocked reaction. How did she... do that?]

Oh uhm... Thank you....

[Taking them now as she observes them finally.]

[sakuya_izayoi]

Sakuya gave Rapunzel a small bow. "Be sure to read the information carefully. Once you have done so I suggest taking time to settle in and then getting a job. Good luck to you."

With that the maid turned to leave. Even if the encounter hadn't been nearly as exciting as she had hoped it was, at least, a little interesting. And she had helped someone. She would be content with that.

[alwaysgrounded]

Y-Yes... I- I will. Thank you.

[Despite the news, she's still been helpful, so Rapunzel will try to figure things out after reading the material.]
