[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.

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.
no subject
[She gets down, and reaches for his hand -- come on, back here. You can't see it so good up close like that.]
...Pretty impressive.
no subject
Insanely impressive, more like it. See, check it out. [He holds up the drawing so Rapunzel can see.] Almost exact.
no subject
It is, I think -- ooh.
[She eyes the picture, then the mural, eyes widening as she nods.]
It is. You're right -- it's perfect.
no subject
[He gets to look at this every single day. The Once-ler isn't sure if that's a good thing or not. He'll figure that out later. For now, he's just going to smile.]
Thanks a million.
no subject
[More than happy. It's -- really nice, to help make someone else smile.]
If it needs any touchups, just let me know, alright?
no subject
[He WILL repay you, Rapunzel, and you're going to have to DEAL WITH IT.]
no subject
[She smiles at him, and starts to gather her paints up. She doesn't want to linger, and be a bother.
Plus, she needs a bath. She's covered in paint and smells like tobacco.]
