[Rapunzel's voice comes across the journals, fairly cheerful but just as last time, there's hints of maturity and somberness mixed in.]

Tammy, I've got everything ready that I need to paint your room. Is there a good time that you'd like me to come?

[A pause.]

I extend the offer to anyone else, as well. I'm...pretty good at painting, so if anyone would like their room brightened up a bit, please -- let me know. I'd be more than happy to help. Just let me know what you'd like, and I will do the best I can to make sure that it's what you want.

[This gives Kid an idea, which is an uncommon thing for him really.]

Um, I think a friend of mine might like that.

[Audio]

[70ftandcounting]

Really? Who? I'd be happy to do it.

[Audio]

[buildsthatwall]

She's my friend Zia. I want to do something nice for her.

[Seeing how she's always doing something nice for him.]

[Audio]

[70ftandcounting]

I would love to, Kid. Just let me know what room is hers, what you'd like, and I'll do it.

[Audio]

[buildsthatwall]

What I'd like? Um, I don't know. It's for her so...I don't think she would want something I'd like.

[Audio]

[70ftandcounting]

[Soft laugh.]

That's really what I meant.

[Audio]

[buildsthatwall]

Oh...then I don't know. Something nice?

[He can already tell he's going to be terrible at this.]

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

[Oh crap Tammy...had totally forgotten. She hasn't left her room in DAYS, never mind cleaning herself up. Crap.]

Uh, maybe in like an hour and a half, if you're still free then? I've got to...I'll be in my room then. [Damn leg still won't let her move quickly everything takes twice as long as it should.]

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

[Bad Tammy.]

Of course! I can do that. I'll see you then.

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Great. Yes. I'll be here. [Oh god she's nervous and babbling stupid mouth.]

If you get here and...you know, just knock and come in, okay?

[Because Tammy still isn't moving that quickly, or that much. Just getting cleaned up might wear her out and...really this is a just in case.]

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

[Don't be nervous! It's just Rapunzel!]

Sure, no problem.

[She waits the allotted time, then heads on over, gently tapping at the door.]

Tammy?

[commentlog]

[needsnobottle]

[Tammy's managed to get herself cleaned up, the bandage changed--that hurt--and dressed again. She's shivering a bit from the cold water and her hair is wet and spikey. She jams her hands through it and pats it down as best she can, bracing a hand on the wall to make it to the door and open it. Her smile is crooked and she's still terribly pale, but she's standing!]

Hey Rapunzel. Come on in.

[commentlog]

[70ftandcounting]

[She slips on into the room, then nearly drops everything that she's holding with a soft cry.]

Tammy! What happened to you?!

[yolonceler]

You're allowed to do that? Paint the walls, I mean?

[If so, he definitely has something in mind.]

[70ftandcounting]

I used to do it back home. The entire tower's inside walls were covered with murals. It was very pretty.

[yolonceler]

That doesn't answer my question about painting them here.

[STOP. Stop. Do NOT be condescending.]

Whatever. Uh, I'd really... appreciate it, if you'd paint my room. Or at least help me do it.

[It's been a long time since he painted anything!]

[70ftandcounting]

[Meep.]

Um...sure. I'd be happy to. Is there anything specific you'd want, or...?

[yolonceler]

Yeah, I can draw it up. It's just a landscape and some trees. [Pause.] Probably the most beautiful place I'd ever seen. [UH] Shouldn't be too difficult, I don't think.

[70ftandcounting]

Alright, that sounds great. When do you want to work on this?

[Video]

[mister10below]

Really, you're offering wall painting? That'd be awesome! I could trade you ice cream, if you wanted?

[Video]

[70ftandcounting]

Yes! I'm very good at it. Is there something specific you'd like.

Ooh, Ice cream? Sure!

[Video]

[mister10below]

Something wintery, maybe? I miss winter. And awesome! I can do vanilla or fruit flavored pretty easily, if you have a preference?

[Video]

[70ftandcounting]

Sure, I can do winter!

...Mmmm. Strawberries? [She loves strawberries.]

[Video]

[mister10below]

Awesome! Just let me know when, and I'll, you know, clean up and stuff.

[And make sure his girlfriend isn't actually in the room.]

Strawberries it is! Vanilla with strawberry bits in it, or strawberry with strawberry bits in it?

[Video]

[70ftandcounting]

Maybe...this evening? I've got a few other rooms to do, but I should be done by then!

[OOOH....dilemma.]

Strawberry with strawberry bits in it.
