70ftandcounting[Rapunzel is shown sitting on her bed, book propped up to show her cross legged and toying with her long, blond hair.]
Have any of you ever had something that bound you? That..just…kept you somewhere? Your entire life?
And then when you finally get away, when you think you’re free, you realize that you still aren’t free, because you have that one thing that still holds you in place?
[She looks up at her journal, eyes a little wet.]
There comes a day when you know that it’s time to really be free.
[She’s been at the Keep a year, today.
And now…now because of that truth, because of flashes of real memories she’s had since, she knows the truth. She knows everything.
And she knows what she has to do.]
Today is that day.
[She gets up, and shuts the book.]

Date: 2012-04-19 05:18 am (UTC)Hey, Sniffles. You okay?
[Her expression and tone are all concern, teasing a bit.]
[video]
Date: 2012-04-20 01:09 am (UTC)Yes. I'm fine.
Re: [video]
Date: 2012-04-20 02:20 am (UTC)Oh.
[She searches for something more intelligent to say.]
How'd you um. Find hair dye?
[Yeah, nice try Tammy.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2012-04-20 02:24 am (UTC)[Quizzical look.]
I -- cut it.

Date: 2012-04-20 02:26 am (UTC)[video]
Date: 2012-04-20 02:27 am (UTC)My hair...had a special power. It held a healing power that worked only when I sang a certain song.
And only so long as my hair wasn't cut. When it's cut, it turns brown, and it's just -- hair. Like everyone elses.

Date: 2012-04-20 03:07 am (UTC)[Tammy smiles a bit, indicating Rapunzel's hair with a vague motion of he hand toward the journal.]
Short hair looks good on you.
[video]
Date: 2012-04-24 01:51 am (UTC)[Sigh.]
...Thank you, Tammy.
[video]
Date: 2012-04-24 09:12 pm (UTC)You sure you're okay?
[video]
Date: 2012-04-25 02:54 am (UTC)...
Not really.
[video]
Date: 2012-04-25 03:28 am (UTC)Wanna talk about it?
[video]
Date: 2012-04-26 03:36 am (UTC)Yes. I would.

Date: 2012-04-26 01:06 pm (UTC)[And Tammy is there pretty quickly, though she detoured to the kitchens and grabbed a snack; not so much for herself as for Rapunzel. There was something about talking over food that always seemed to make it easier.
So she's got a couple of citrus fruits and two thick slabs of warm, fluffy bread spread with jam. And she just manages to rap her knuckles against the door without dropping anything.]
commentlog
Date: 2012-04-28 03:08 am (UTC)Ooh, you brought a snack. Thank you.
[That makes her smile, and she waves Tammy in, shutting the door behind her.]
commentlog
Date: 2012-04-30 07:28 pm (UTC)Tammy offers a half smile to Rapunzel as she offers the bread to her.
"It's not much, but I didn't want to take too long getting over here."
commentlog
Date: 2012-05-03 03:06 am (UTC)"No, it's perfect. It's...just what I needed. Thank you, Tammy."
She tucks a short strand of brown hair back, and takes a bit bite. "It's really good."

Date: 2012-05-06 08:22 pm (UTC)"These are amazing."

Date: 2012-05-08 08:22 pm (UTC)Having her room brightened up would be a miracle in this place, and who knows? It might help make everything less depressing.
commentlog
Date: 2012-05-09 04:02 am (UTC)Even if she could just make someones day a little better, then her time here would be completely worth it.
Besides, she likes seeing Tammy smile. It's -- pretty.
commentlog
Date: 2012-05-09 05:57 am (UTC)Almost, but not quite. Tammy is finding that she's enjoying Rapunzel's sweet hesitance.
"Maybe dancers? Something to remind me of home. Or just...mountains? My family lives in the mountains, and I miss seeing them. Whatever is easier."
commentlog
Date: 2012-05-11 12:22 am (UTC)"I'll have to be able to get into your room, though...I can just let you know when I have everything ready on the journals! Does that work?"
commentlog
Date: 2012-05-15 02:25 am (UTC)Seemed to fit that it was coming from this direction, too. Even without all of that long, long, bright, beautiful hair, Rapunzel had a lightness and glow to her that was easy to be drawn to.
Speaking of...
"So..." Tammy offers up a piece of fruit, her smile softening a bit. "How're you feeling?"
commentlog
Date: 2012-05-22 12:59 am (UTC)"I'm...all right. I mean, I feel lighter and heavier at the same time. Have you ever felt like that before?"
commentlog
Date: 2012-05-22 05:14 am (UTC)Makes her wonder what such things feels like for other people.
"Yeah, I think I have. And I'm guessing you mean more than just the weight of your hair?"
Not that cutting all that hair wouldn't have been a huge difference in weight. Tammy would put money on Rapunzel having very strong neck muscles. Probably really tense ones too.
Hm. Think about that later.
