[Hear that, Keep?

--Or at least, anyone around her room.

This is the sound of Rapunzel screaming.

She just watched the pumpkin of her mother die, and now there’s voices that wont shut up.

Feel free to come check on her, or run into her as she flees her room in a PANIC.]

action all the way!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

Blondie?

[Flynn darts from his room at the scream and starts heading right for Rapunzel's. No time to think here.]

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[It won't take you long to run into her, Flynn - she's barreling out of her room at TOP SPEED And is probably going to crash right into you.]

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

[And he quickly grabs her, trying to calm her down. He's been hearing the Stabbington Brothers hiss threats at him, (it was creepy, but suddenly unimportant when he heard Rapunzel), and seen others complain of voices, so he has a vague idea of what's going on with her, but he's not sure he's right -- Or if he is right, of the details.]

You hearing them, too?

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[She doesn't even think - she throws herself into his arms and flings her arms around him and buries her face into his chest.]

Y-yes and...and she...

It died!

[No that's not traumatic at all for someone who went through almost the exact same thing.]

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

Hey... Hey, it's alright. It's just a pumpkin.

[He strokes her hair.]

Who's she?

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[Not just a pumpkin.]

M-my mother!

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

Oh...

Gosh, Blondie. I...

Here, come on. This has to stop eventually, right? So we'll go back to my room and I'll help you wait it out, okay?

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[She sniffles - at least his room probably doesn't have dead pumpkins and guts all over the place?]

O-okay...

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, Flynn was far from eager to bring the Stabbington Pumpkin Brothers back to his room.

He carefully lets go of Rapunzel and gently takes her hand, leading the way.]

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[She clung to his hand and followed after him, tugging her hair behind her with her other hand.]

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

[At his room, he pulls her inside and walks over to his bed, sitting down on it and leaning to drum on the base, noisily. He'd been doing so earlier to try to drown out the Stabbington Brothers, but it seems particular important to do for Rapunzel now.]

Come on, we need to talk about something... Anything.

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[She nodded slowly, following after him. She sat next to him, hands in her lap as she toyed with her hair.]

A-alright. Anything.

[Anything at all to stop the whispers.]

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

God, that's a lot of hair.

[It's the first thing that comes to mind.]

Is it a pain to take care of it? I look a girls with normal heads of hair and I think it must be a hassle.

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[She blinks, then laughs a little - it's borderline hysterical, but at least it's a laugh.]

O-oh, actually...yes. It takes forever to brush...and braiding it in the mornings is pretty...hard.

Re: action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

So... Why don't you cut it?

action!

[70ftandcounting]

[She looks a little horrified, and tugs it closer to her.]

I...I can't!

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

You... Can't.

action!

[70ftandcounting]

...No. Not really.

[She shifts, and chews on her bottom lip. Just keep talking. This is Flynn - you can trust him, right?]

It's not...just ordinary hair.

action!

[storyofhowidied.livejournal.com]

[He notices her discomfort and puts a hand on her shoulder.]

...Yeah?

[mister10below]

[Bobby's wandering the halls, looking for very specific pumpkins, the ones he can hear whispering, can hear the things they're saying, but he forgets all about it when he sees Rapunzel fleeing.]

Rapunzel? What happened?

[He, uh. Also forgets that he's currently in his ice form.]

lololol Bobby |D

[70ftandcounting]

[As if watching her mother metaphorically die wasn't bad enough, Rapunzel has to run into a giant ice monster.

She takes one look at Bobby, screeches bloody murder, and whirls to run in the opposite direction.]

haha OOPS

[mister10below]

[He has a moment of absolute confusion when she screams and runs away, and then it hits him that, yeah, he's in his ice form.

Right, great job there, Drake.]

Wait! Rapunzel, it's me! Bobby!

XDD

[70ftandcounting]

[She only stops when she is sure there's a good distance between them - which means she's around a corner and peeking carefully around it.]

...Bobby?

[SUPER suspicious here.]

[mister10below]

[And he gives a slightly sheepish wave here.]

Yeah. It's me. Sorry, I forgot you didn't know about my ice form.

[70ftandcounting]

[Still not coming out from around that corner.]

Ice...form?

[YOU LOOK LIKE A MONSTER D:]
