So, Alice mentioned that I should probably look at getting some shoes? I never really needed them back home, but she said it would be a good idea here for when it gets colder or something. I'm not sure what else I might need when it gets colder, but if someone could point me to where I can get some shoes or boots that'd be great. [She doesn't really think they seem all that comfortable, but still. If it stops Alice and Eugene worrying about her, she can at least try.]

As for the spy, well, I'm glad he wasn't executed at least. But even so, he's stuck in that same place now. I...I know what it's like to be...well, trapped somewhere. I wouldn't want to wish that on anyone else. But I do understand, he is more useful to us alive, and it's better than killing him. I'm sure we could gain some information, maybe figure out if there are other spies here, have him give us names?

[She still seems uncomfortable about this, however. It's taking a while, getting used to the idea that she would need to make those decisions a lot more, or at least contribute to them once she returns home and claims her crown and title as the princess of Corona. At this stage though, she isn't entirely sure she is ready for any of that. She shakes her head, trying to put on a more reassuring smile for the network.]

I see we have some new faces though, that might not know about any of that yet. I'm Rapunzel for those who are new here. Oh yes, I guess some of you might have already talked to him or met him, but Eugene is here! Isn't that great? Oh, but I don't mean it's great he has to be involved in this war and everything. I'm just...I'm glad he's here.

[Alice giggles.] I think we're in summer, Miss Rapunzel. Not much of a need for shoes unless it gets so hot here in Asgard that the ground is scorching! Still, I'm glad you finally thought about getting shoes! [She giggles again.] And I agree! I had my own idea on spies and such. I think it can't be helped but to think about it.

And I met Mr. Fitzherbert! He's really very nice. And just like I promised, I didn't tell him how nice you said he was!

[seethelanterns]

Oh, well I wasn't sure if the seasons might be different here, in terms of how long they might be. And we did get some supplies in Utgard for colder weather, so I figured I should ask about the shoes. You did? What was your idea, Alice? I must have missed it if you talked about it with the ring.

[She can't help but give a small smile at that. Oh, Alice. You know mentioning that at all negates the promise if Eugene sees. But Rapunzel is more amused than annoyed about it.] That's good. 'A fake reputation is all a man has', as he put it.

[madcuriosity]

Well, why not have people with drawing life abilities, like you and me and others but who are at the highest level, draw little birds and bugs and attach items on them to spy on the giants. The ring? Oh, I suppose I could talk about it with the teacher's council or so?

Oh! I never knew that!

[seethelanterns]

Oh, that does sound like a good idea, if they know what sort of birds they might have where the frost giants live. I'm not sure I would be good enough to be able to help with it myself, but it's certainly something to consider at least. The teacher's council might be able to help.

He tried to act all tough, but he's actually pretty sweet once you get to know him.

Eugene? [ .. blink.. ]

Wait, is that someone you talked about before? You say it like you're pretty close.

[ She has some thoughts on the spy thing too, but she doesn't voice those out loud for now - she'd just get into fights with people over it, she knows it. ]

[seethelanterns]

I probably have mentioned him before. He's the one that climbed through my tower window and I got him to take me to see the lanterns. But...we are pretty close.

[After everything they had been through together, him getting stabbed in his attempt to rescue her from Gothel.]

[integrous]

Oh, the criminal guy! [ That's forever how Asahi will remember him from the time she told her that story.. ]

You did tell him to pull nothing funny while he's here, right?

[seethelanterns]

Oh. Well, I don't really think we'll need to worry about him trying to steal things here. He's...changed a lot, since I first met him. [But she does seem amused at that. In a way, he'd always be a thief to herwith the way he 'stole her heart' over the time they spent getting to Corona.]</small

You must be Rapunzel. [ Unless there's another Eugene out there, which is definitely possible. ] I'm Allison; I talked to Eugene shortly after he first got here.

[seethelanterns]

I am! It's nice to meet you though, Allison. I'm glad Eugene has been making friends already. [But really. She's relieved to have him here, safe and well.]

[gymnast]

He seems like a decent guy. [ Not that she really knows him all that well, but he comes off nice enough. ] He also seems really into you. It's cute.

[seethelanterns]

He is, once you get to know him. I admit we didn't have the best start, but over time I found he's actually pretty sweet. [Rapunzel can't help but give an almost sheepish smile at that, as she tries to contain her happiness. She's still even now a little giddy over finding he returns her feelings after realizing he didn't abandon her after all.] I know. He's my new dream too.

[better]

[Erica understands the plight of being without the right clothing. She arrived in Asgard in an ER gown.]

There should be clothing you can get at whatever house you're living in. It's not the most fashionable things, but it's good enough until you figure out what sort of shoes you like.

[seethelanterns]

Oh, really? I guess I can see, and figure out if the shoes might fit me.

[better]

What house are you in? [Maybe Erica can make her way there and help.]

[seethelanterns]

I'm in Freyr's house.

[ghani]

I would not pretend to be familiar with the situation, since I am quite new to this place, but I believe I have heard of this spy and I find myself wondering just how he would be of more use alive?

[ She's not exactly disputing it, not without knowing more, but she is curious nonetheless. ]

[seethelanterns]

Oh, well...I mean, if he's alive, they could still have the chance to ask him questions and things, figure out how much he knows and how much he has told the giants?

[ghani]

Forgive me, for some reason I was assuming that this had already been done since execution was being discussed.

[biifurcatiion]

Who the hell doethn't wear thoeth.

[seethelanterns]

I didn't. I mean, I spent most of my time back home in the tower, so...there was never any need for me to have shoes, I guess.

[biifurcatiion]

Oh, I thee. Yeah, the tower explainth a lot. I guethh human highbloodth don't have crappy floorth either, and never have two worry about thingth like thplinterth or blood in the carpet from your upthtairth neighbor.

[hairgels]

Wow, Rapunzel! They really do bring everybody here! My name's Blaine. I'm new around here. What's all this about spies?

Oh, and to answer your question, I'd suggest getting a heavy coat and a scarf too. You'll want that for when it gets cold.

video;

[seethelanterns]

Why is my name so surprising...? [Maybe he knew a Rapunzel back home like Jamie did?] Oh, you're new, Blaine? I guess this could be a better time to show up than in the middle of dealing with it. But we found and caught a spy for the giants earlier and all voted on what to do with him. He's imprisoned, as we asked for.

A coat and scarf? Okay, I'll talk to Alice and Eugene, thanks!

video;

[hairgels]

Oh, no, it's nothing. Rapunzel is just— It's a unique name!

[Yes, good save, Blaine. Let's not break any world continuums today. Besides, this spy stuff is more pressing.]

I see... Well I'm personally against death penalty and it's like you said, he's more useful to us alive, right? Does this kind of thing happen often around here?
