Hi Asgard.

[ Rapunzel isn't really looking at the screen. Though she throws a distracted wave in its direction with one hand, moving a paintbrush with the other. She's in an alleyway that's just wide enough to be spacious and narrow enough to be innocuous, hanging from something that's just off camera and looking for all the world like what's behind her is normal.

It's all pretty much par for the course with her, really. The massive building wall covered in words too many and small to be properly read, illustrations, bits of paper, and random scraps of junk pasted or hung over them and connected by string. Its all normal.

Normal in the way that being totally batshit is normal. ]

So. Aha. I was wondering if someone could maybe help me out? I've sort been keeping track of things. Things I've learned. [ yeah only sort of ] It's easier that way! When stuff is organized. I like that. Don't you? I like understanding things and taking them apart and breaking them down so they're all nice and sorted. And there's a lot to learn here so keeping track of it is very important.

But one of the things I've been keeping track of? It's the plants. See? Right here underneath - uh. Nuclear physics. I've noticed that there are certain plants are around in the park that are around during my birthday. Which makes me wonder if it isn't around that time of year because it's warm and summery and - even if we don't really know the months it kinda fits?

Aaaanyway. [ She smiles and finally looks up from her current painting, the beginnings of a mural inspired by Asgard itself. ] I was thinking I could find a nice leaf for my birthday. There's a certain leaf I've always wanted to have. And I thought it might be fun to go on an adventure looking for it! And...looking for other things too. Like - clues I guess. So if anyone wants to go on an expedition that would be amazing. And - Heh. I would be very grateful.

I can take other risks perfectly well. [ It's some sort of last line of defense, something she can say no matter what she feels like and no matter what kind of mental conflict is going on, since it's just the truth no matter what - a fact. ]

Just.. not with this.

You don't have to do it right away. All at once. [ Heaven knows it took her years to work up the courage to even entertain the idea of asking to leave. ] But - it gets easier. Once you've started. Then you...can't remember how you ever lived the other way.

...

[ She takes a deep breath and tries to swallow down the feeling the best she can, steady her voice a little. It's not quite deadpan like it always is, but at least more.. neutral. Better. ]

Now it just sounds like you're trying to be my personal therapist.

[glistens]

[ Ah she knows what that voice means now. It's reassuring and troubling at once, but sticking with the former feeling seems the better option. For now. ]

What's a therapist?

[entreats]

[ in this case it's a good thing - it means she can at least swallow it up now and deal with it, leave those thoughts to mull over later when she's more prepared. ]

.. Someone who helps you with your problems, sort of.

Isn't that a good thing? I'd... I would have liked to have a therapist, I think. In my tower.
