I don't understand why everyone is freaked out. I mean, we'll have to put off the plant-gathering expedition outside the gate until the flood clears up but otherwise this is great! It's water! Everywhere! And not even a drop to drink.

[ All right that was a bad joke. But she's distracted, splashing around as she makes her way through the city on what looks like a plank using her non-braceleted hand as an oar. Normal broadcasts are obviously never happening. ] So— Right! Okay. This doesn't actually have anything to do with the water but I was wondering...

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE FOLLOWING?
- Interpretive dance
- Explosives
- Guitars (electric or otherwise but preferable electric because electric guitars are basically amazing)
- Okay ANY instruments really
- Ballet
- Flying trapeze
- Toothpaste
- Paper cuts

That last one is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY important. Because you can't go snorkeling with a potentially fatal injury. [ You can't go snorkeling in twelve inches of water anyway... ]

Oh, and PS? I'd really like to thank everyone who was involved in the birthday party for me and Nakama. I wouldn't have wanted to turn eighteen any other way and... the presents were all amazing. So— Really. Thank you.

... with the toothpaste or the explosives? I rather like having all my fingers still on my hands.

Only rather?

Fine, fine, if you insist. A little more than rather.

But that's still no answer to the question.

With both. But separately.

... I guess I'm fine for that, yeah. [ even if she's not making herself sound too enthusiastic!! just.. like usual, really. ]

What exactly do you need my help for in that case?

That depends on how much you know about the explosives...

[ she taps her chin ]

AAAAnd on what kind of toothpaste you use.

I've never actually used explosives before, so I guess I know just as much about them as any other person might. I've never even seen them in action, unlike most weapons. [ bombs were one of the few things the Sumaderas didn't have, really. ]

And is the kind really that important, toothpaste-wise?

You guys don't even know what I'm going to do with the information. Why do you assume it isn't important? [ Settled, she leans back and takes a hand out of the water to place on her hip. ] It's very important.

[ ... ]

And... which weapons have you seen in action?

[ at least the latter question is more natural to answer than the first (even though it shouldn't be, life choices and all that). ]

Probably about fifteen different kinds of guns and at least one or two knives. [ ... ] And stakes. I guess I'll leave the more magical kind of weapons out of it for now.

What's magical about stakes?

They weren't exactly ordinary stakes. More like magically summoned demons who happened to be able to turn into stakes.

I... thought demons were evil.

[ for a moment she hesitates - this is rather embarassing to say, after all - but if it's to Rapunzel.. ]

... They were my best friends.

Ah. [ Really that's all she needs to say for Rapunzel to understand. Bending her perception is something she does from minute to minute, despite whatever inflexible convictions she has. ]

Ange... What - were you? In your world? Your life sounds...

Sounds.. like what? [ it's easier than answering the question, since she isn't entirely sure what she is anymore at this point either - a piece, a witch, a little sister, a lonely girl who deluded herself with imaginary friends? ]

You're free to just say it, you know. I won't mind.

I know. [ A smile; she's not as afraid of hurting people's feelings as she should be. ] I'm... just not sure what word to use. Your life sounds - so full.

I guess the phrase 'never a dull moment' could be applied to it, yes.

Not that that's necessarily a good thing. [ considering most of those moments were rather painful instead. ]

Was it a bad one? [ After hearing what she has this isn't at all surprising, but it's still sad to have confirmed. ]

.. Some parts of it aren't too bad. [ she has to admit that much. ] But it's mostly bad thing, yeah.

So... [ She gestures for her to explain. ]

Ah, no, it's just.. when you get involved with witches like me it usually isn't a good thing, you know?

They love making people miserable more than anything.

What? [ Rapunzel actually almost laughs. ] You don't like making people miserable.

I'm sort of an exception to the rule, since I'm not really like the other witches. [ even if it's difficult to explain. ]

One of the witches who is actually a lot like that is here too, but it's probably better to not get involved with her. Nor with the other witch from my world here. They aren't exactly good company.

[ she sighs. ]

What's this witch's name?

Bernkastel. She has long blue hair, so it's fairly easy to recognize her.
