II ♔ ＬＡＮＴＥＲＮ 【Video】

[alwaysgrounded]

 [Somebody has gotten better at using the device that was given to her, because now you can actually see the blonde for the most part and she doesn't look happy while holding the sunday paper.]

Okay, is this going to be happening a lot or something? Because this is the second time that this paper has broken one of my windows. I just got it repaired too...

[With that, she'll show the broken window in question before moving it back in her direction. If you look closely enough, you might notice her walls have a few things here and there that Rapunzel has painted.]

.... However.... I am in need of a job and I see that there's something about a popcorn artist? I'm not really sure what popcorn is but.... I'd love to get a job where I can paint if it's possible.

But then I also saw something about a shrine in there? I don't know if I'm really spiritual, but I'm pretty good at cleaning?

Anyways, that aside... Could somebody please tell whoever is delivering these papers to be a little more careful? I don't really have a lot of bills to keep repairing my windows and it's too cold out to have a broken window.

Maybe he can't see that he's throwing it through your window and needs glasses. I'll try to see if I can find him to ask about that for you!

If you're worried about being spiritual, all you have to do is really keep an open mind going in unless you're trying to make direct contact. A lot of shrines where I'm from decorate the entire place to make the spirits feel more welcome, you could probably paint the walls for them inside! That wasn't in ad but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

[alwaysgrounded]

That would be great, thanks.

[And then with the next topic she listened quietly, considering options from it.]

Ah! Really? That would be great if I could. I spent a lot of time painting back home.

[She literally ran out of space. If only she could show her tower to people here.]

video;

[energybends]

You're welcome.

[ he tips his head to the side, as if that will give him a better view of the wall behind her - which from what he can tell is probably sparse on blank space ]

Really! I was going to go over there later to check it out, you should come with and we can see. Are you a painter back home or is it a hobby?

video;

[alwaysgrounded]

[She still had a good amount of space here, but that was bound to change eventually.]

That would be great! I'd love to. It's been a hobby of mine for a while since I didn't have much to do.

Oh! I'm Rapunzel, by the way.

video;

[energybends]

Okay! When do you want to go look? How come you didn't have much to do? I bet you're really good at it if you've had a lot of practice.

I'm Aang! It's nice to meet you, Rapunzel.

video;

[alwaysgrounded]

I'm free whenever. [And then a small pause.] Well I... I couldn't leave my tower for a long time, so I kept myself busy with painting and other things around the tower.

It's nice to meet you too, Aang.

video;

[energybends]

We'll go after lunch then! [ he pauses himself, frowning curiously. ] Why not?

video;

[alwaysgrounded]

Where would you like to meet up?

Oh well... My... "mother" insisted to me that... I had a very special power that many would take advantage of. She also told me that the outside world was too dangerous to go out and that while I stayed in the tower, I could stay safe.

[There was a hint of sorrow and maybe even hate in her expression as she paused, combing through her long hair as if to calm her down.]

I just didn't realize the person I should have been running from all this time had been fooling with me this entire time...

video;

[energybends]

I'm kind of new to the area so uh-- Oh! There's this tea place nearby it. We'll meet there.

[ someone keeping her trapped and lying to her for a long time. that's horrible. he frowns further, sympathetically. ]

Sorry to hear that. You're away from the person now though, right? [ nice and safe for real. as safe as being kidnapped to another world can be anyway. it's less boring, at least ]

video;

[alwaysgrounded]

Sure, that'll be okay. Would you like to meet up now or later?

[It doesn't help that Eugene was dying when she came here, but she's forcing herself to believe that she can still save him when she returns. And she still misses Pascal...]

Yeah. I guess being kidnapped into another world isn't the most ideal thing, but I don't have to deal with her here.

video;

[energybends]

Now? Now. Unless you're busy then later.

Whenever you go back, the universe usually has a way of correcting itself. I'm sure it will all turn out okay.

video;

[alwaysgrounded]

I'm pretty sure my schedule will be pretty free. At least until I find a job.

[Unless she has to brush her hair. That might take a while.]

Yeah. I'll find a way to make things right.

video;

[energybends]

Then I will see you soon!

[ he would know nothing about hair brushing. how does she do it. ]

Definitely.

video; -> action;

[alwaysgrounded]

Okay!

[Don't you brush your fabulous invisible hair? But a while later, Rapunzel made her way to the tea shop. She had a good idea of where it was by this point, but she did get turned every now and then. Eventually, she found her way, her long hair trailing behind her. She's also carrying a frying pan, because apparently they work for a lot of things. Maybe it's out of habit? It won't be hard to notice that.]

action;

[energybends]

[ he's there waiting by the time she turns up, looking into windows of the neighboring stores out of pure curiosity while leaning one side on his staff. some of the stuff he has no idea what they are so it's momentarily distracting until she gets there. and when she does his full attention is immediately on her, smile big and welcoming. he'd question the frying pan but his eyes get completely stuck on her hair. the video did not make it clear just how much of it she had. ]

Wow, I've never seen so much hair before! Except for that one time Appa shed but it wasn't all attached to one person's head and that's more like fur and, uh, sorry. I mean, hi Rapunzel! [ he waves a bit awkwardly ]

action;

[alwaysgrounded]

[Frying pans... Who knew right?

But she just laughed a little timidly to that.]

Yeah.... I probably should have mentioned that. Brushing it takes a long time.

[At least she doesn't mind. Really. She's used to it. In fact she accidentally tripped Toph with it when she got here.]

Hi, Aang. It's nice to meet you in person.

action;

[energybends]

Doesn't your arm get tired?

[ so impressed. he looks awed. she must have some super hero strength and a lot of patience. ]

It's great to meet you in person, too! Meeting people on video has been a really strange experience so this is better. Did you find it over here okay? I got a little lost but I gave myself a lot of extra time to do it.

action;

[alwaysgrounded]

Sometimes, yeah. But it's also very useful, aside from the magical properties.

[Yep. She has magic hair.]

I've been for a few weeks myself and I get lost at times, but I managed.

action;

[energybends]

What kind of magical properties?

[ does it grow crazy fast? is that it? she'd never run out of rope then. ]

We'll get the hang of it. [ encouraging grin ] Do you want to head over there now? I'm pretty sure it was the next street over. I made sure to double check.

action;

[alwaysgrounded]

Well... I can heal people with it, but it loses it's power once it gets cut.

[Moving her hair too the side to show that one random brown clump of hair mixed in with her golden blonde.]

Sure!

action;

[energybends]

So that's why it's so long. Having healing powers is great though! I haven't figured it out yet but in my world we have people who can heal using water. How does it work with your hair?

[ he starts heading in the direction of the shrine at the confirmation, making sure he's in step with her. ]

action;

[alwaysgrounded]

With water? How is that possible?

[She's not knocking it, because it sounds interesting. Besides, she didn't have room to talk with magic glowing hair.]

Well... It seems silly but... I sing a certain song incantation. I'll have to show you sometime.

[Since he doesn't seem to be a threat towards her hair.]

action;

[energybends]

Waterbenders, that's the people that can control water, draw on the life giving and replenishing properties that exists in all water and use it fix a wound or an illness. If my friend Katara gets here, I'll have her explain it better. She saved my life doing it once.

[ he raises an eyebrow at her then simply smiles. he is not a threat in the slightest. ]

I'd love to see it. And I don't think that sounds silly. Unless it's a really silly sounding incantation!

action;

[alwaysgrounded]

That's amazing. I'd love to meet her too, if she comes.

action;

[energybends]

I hope she does. She's the best person ever. [ which is a completely unbiased opinion, he swears. ] You guys would get along great.
