[ A loud, short, and sudden shriek breaks the opening silence. She was kneeling at the lip of a tub when she made the mistake of glancing in the mirror because now her neck aches (she slept in the goddamn bath) and she is in Diva's body.

And her balance is so completely fouled with eleven less pounds of hair that she falls forward immediately upon standing and smashes her brand new nose into the porcelain. ]

...eech. [ But what she does following the initial panic and expletive is a bit more clever, even as it plays more like a strip show taking itself too seriously. She stands, whips Diva's hair around a bit, and after feeling herself up from head to toe (and back again twice), confides in the tap: ] Is this what everyone's head feels like? It's so...cold. And light. And my voice is so hi—

[ Which is about when she notices the renegade bracelet recording. Though instead of freaking out or scrambling to end the message or even reacting at all to any of this weirdness she simply bites a lip. Rapunzel is only good under pressure because she always expects the worst anyway. ] I'm sorry. It seems like I only make recordings when I need something. I mean, I didn't make this one on purpose. But I am going to ask for something while I'm here so it's... sort of leading up to the demand-making part in the end anyway and - well - aha. Okay.

Does... anyone maybe want to find some Y. pestis-free blood for a fourth shopping list scavenger hunt? Maybe? Heh.

[ replies will come from cambiante! ]

... Rapunzel? [ YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE RAPUNZEL, but at the same time, he doesn't look like himself either. There is a panda latching onto his shoulder, also staring at her. ]

Why would you even need that?

[cambiante]

[ what the fuck ]

Experimenting. [ lie ] Again. It's kind of a thing.

[ ... ]

Why do you have a monster on your shoulder?

... [ He doesn't get it, but okay. He looks at Jinjing for a loooong time, trying to remember what did Damien call it. Of course, he squeaks and paws Red's nose. He'll turn back to Rapunzel though. ]

It's... A panda.

[rapunzel why were you sleeping in the bath...]

[Diva is glad to see this post, since at least she isn't suddenly like... Rapunzel's doppelganger. Not that apparently switching bodies was much better, but you know, this is at least somewhat more acceptable.

Of course, Diva has had precisely the opposite experience, having been weighed down by her hair so much that it took a while to figure out how moving her head was even possible. Walking was much more difficult, unsurprisingly, and all of that hard work that Rapunzel put into making her hair beautiful and luscious was lost in about five minutes of Diva getting frustrated with trying to walk outside of her room, so she's just. kind of chilling on the floor tangled in hair. nbd.]

Ahh, I didn't know it was this heavy, you know? I mean I figured it was heavy, but I didn't imagine it was like this... Oh, and um, I'm sorry for messing it up.

[But let's not dwell on that, because there's no way Diva is going to fix it] You're hungry too, huh?

[cambiante]

Diva? [ Slightly weirder than waking up in another body is seeing someone else in hers, so this one's going to take a few seconds to adjust to. ]

Here, let me - [ Leaving the bathroom is a more successful endeavor than standing was. ] If you're just downstairs I can help some. But you're probably going to have to braid it if this lasts too long... I can't believe they'd come up with something like this after everything else.

[tangledup]

[She nods lightly, glad Rapunzel isn't upset. Which is silly because Rapunzel's upset-threshold is, uh. different.]

I am! I'm just in my room... [a beat] How long does it take to braid anyways?

[good thing he's been browsing the network out of boredom all night and into the wee hours of the morning or this would be very confusing...! as it is, he just looks like he's on the verge of developing a headache.]

I believe the colorless disease is the only one you have to worry about contracting here. If you stay put I'll fetch you something from the hospital, you don't need to be going outside like this. [the potential of reputations being ruined is TOO GREAT]

[cambiante]

What? No! If you're leaving, I'm. Coming. I'm not going to - stay in the house all day and wait for it to wear off. [ Which isn't to say she hasn't considered it. ] This could last days for all we know and I don't have that much paint.

[onceknighted]

I could get you paint if you needed that. [but in the long run he's assuming Rapunzel will probably go lolloping off into the sunset regardless of whether or not he tries to get her to stay indoors, so the next best thing is to accompany her outside, right?

the most weary sigh, and then:] If you must, I'll be leaving for the hospital when I finish watering the flowers.

[ .. wait.. 'Diva's hair'? What's this even about-- but she catches the name at the end, so.. ]

Rapunzel? Is that.. you? [ since she does seem to talk about how strange it is with less hair, right? and if there was one easily defining thing about the other girl.. ]

[cambiante]

Yes. [ And Diva's hair is getting played with at the mo. It's just long enough to serve as kind of a blanket but not so long that it's much comfort. ] You're just Ange then? It has your name on the bracelet. Why aren't you in someone else's body?

[text and private in perpetua]

[ryuuzaki]

Rapunzel. I'm not sure the plague is your most pressing concern. You should go to the hospital.

[cambiante]

What? Why? Is something— You don't think I'm already infected do you? But it's pneumonic most of the time! Isn't it?

[darkbreak]

...Blood?

[Blood and Rapunzel. The girl's asked for some weird things before, but this might take the cake.

That is, of course, assuming she's the right person. Hopefully, the bracelets won't lie for him.]

What, did you turn into a vampire or something?

[Riku, don't talk. You became a 13 year old girl with dog ears.]

[cambiante]

No. [ That is exactly what she did. ] But at least I'm female.

[piplups]

[If Rapunzel is taking note of the poster names during this day, she'll notice this is Himari. Just, in some guy's body. Yeah.]

Eh--? Rapunzel-chan? Why do you need blood?

video;

[glistens]

Um. [ Surprising no one she's a little distracted by this one. ] I'm...experimenting- Ethan are you really Himari?

[idealfuture]

Wait—Rapunzel?

[he's just focused on her being in this body at first... the blood issue will come later... though why exactly he's surprised when he's been bodyswapped himself is a different question. whatever.]

[cambiante]

[ Probably because Rapunzel with anything but blonde hair and freckles is publicity fodder. ]

Guilty.

(video)

[counterbalanced]

[...that's a very colourful, unique way of cursing.]

Perhaps you should put on some clothes. [a beat.] And what do you mean by "Y.pestis-free blood"? Any scavenger hunt with blood on the list sounds awfully suspicious.

[cambiante]

Most things in Asgard are awfully suspicious.

I meant what I said though. Plague can be transferred through the blood and... I'm not really sure I want to deal with that. [ His observation about clothes goes ignored for now. Largely because she doesn't actually see much wrong with her current state.

But she smiles. ] Think you can help?

[playerkills]

Why would Rapunzel need blood?

[ squints ] You haven't done anything to her, have you?

[ because if Diva did, Yozora will FUCK HER SHIT UP okay no but she will be depressed.

also she's in this body, hi. ]

[cambiante]

I am Rapunzel, Mister... [ n a m e c h e c k ] Yozora! Oh - Yozora, you're a boy too... Huh. at least you look like a little like your person. Your last name sounds like a type of ice cream. Anyway I need it for the same reason you have flatter breasts today. I woke up somewhere I do not belong and I'm doing an experiment. [ NOD ]

text; wow I am late

[aniceperson]

Light-headedness is not usually a good sign

you are never late

[cambiante]

Who said anything about being light-headed?
