[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.

... No.

[She doesn't, because she thinks you can be homesick for something that isn't there. She misses her mother, though by all rights the woman ISN'T her mother and she sees the woman die but...]
no subject
Annnyway, what was it like where you're from?
no subject
Not good.
no subject
[They have something in common!]
Mmmind if I ask why?
no subject
I was kidnapped when I was a little girl, and -- the woman that pretended to be my mother was very controlling. I spent the first eighteen years of my life locked in a tower.
no subject
W... ow...
[Should he even believe this? He's just going to give her the benefit of the doubt.]
So being here must be, uh... really... great. For you.
no subject
She looks very distant, and stares hard at the paint on the wall.]
Mmm. It's...a little easier, in some ways.
no subject
Just some?
no subject
But...things are so unresolved for me, back home. I still haven't met my real family.
no subject
[This is depressing. What do you say in a situation like this? "Wow, I'm sorry you were kidnapped and locked in a room for the majority of your life"? Seems a little blunt.]
I'm... sorry, that's just downright awful.
no subject
It's all right. I know now, and...if I ever go home, I know what to do.
no subject
Well, that's good. Knowing what to do, I mean.
no subject
Yes. It...will be helpful, I think. In the long run.
no subject
... How long have you been here?
no subject
Over...a year.
no subject
[Gulp. It seems like everyone he asks has been here an obscene amount of time. He can't imagine being trapped in this castle for more than a fucking year.]
Has... anybody been here longer than a year?
no subject
A few have been here a few months longer than me. If -- you wanted to talk to someone from the beginning, you'd need to speak with -- with Kevas. Or, there's -- Megamind. I don't really know him well, though.
no subject
That... is depressing in so many ways.
no subject
I--I know.
no subject
Well, uh, we can't possibly be here forever. So, hey, look to the future. I guess.
no subject
Of course -- you're right. [Even if she had more freedom here, it was as she had said -- if she went home, she'd...know what to do.]
no subject
[Pause. He steps back and admires their handiwork.]
... Not much left, but some.
no subject
[She gets on her tip toes, so she can reach the very last bits and pieces of it.]
no subject
I think I'm done over here.
