{07 Frying Pans; Text} Day 348 @ night

[seethelanterns]

[When the victims return, Rapunzel does with them, luckily having been gone for the least period of time due to being attacked later. But even so she worries for her friends all the same, wants to reassure them and herself.]

Hi? I'm back now. I'm sorry if that worried or scared anyone. I just wondered if it might be Eugene or someone coming to check on me with everything going on. But I'm back. I'm okay now.

[Video] Day 349

[Alice hadn't returned until later the next day. Drenched and maybe even a little sick, she had gone about checking her bracelet when she saw this message. What had happened? What did... what did Rapunzel mean "back now?" Where had she gone?]

Miss Rapunzel? Miss Rapunzel?

[seethelanterns]

[Oh. Oh right, Alice. But Rapunzel can't really take that back now. And she doesn't want to lie either.]

Oh, Alice. Did you have fun on your trip?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

[Alice had lived with the Doctors long enough to know a diversion method when she saw and heard it. It didn't help that Rapunzel didn't make the most convincing face either.]

I did, for the most part. [The walking left little to be desired and she was getting sick thanks to walking for an entire day in pouring rain, but it had been fun until then.]

But... But what do you mean you're back and you're okay? What happened?

Did you die?

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

Might want to go check on Ellie.

[seethelanterns]

I...I did.

[Voice]

[seethelanterns]

I will. I know I was supposed to meet her to practice archery. I hope she wasn't too worried.

[silverkhaleesi]

Rapunzel, where did you go? Why are you okay now?

[Dany was not present during the Gentlemen thing, so she doesn't know what happened.]

[Video]

[seethelanterns]

That's good. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[And oh. Yeah she has never been the best at lying. Rapunzel gives Alice an uncertain look for a moment before giving a sigh.]

I mean that...well, a lot sort of happened while you guys were gone. There were these...Gentlemen that came and took people's voices and kept them in boxes. They...they killed a few of us. Me included.

•´¯`• video •´¯`•

[seethelanterns]

Oh. A lot happened, I guess. But....well, it's all sorted now. Which is the main thing. I guess I can't really lie or hide it though. When those Gentlemen came, I was one of their victims.

[silverkhaleesi]

Do you mean they killed you? Have those men been properly dealt with? I am afraid I do not know much of what happened.

[Jack didn't answer Ellie's post but he saw. And got angry. And went out to smash boxes. So. Yeah. This post is a blessing.]

welcome back goldilocks
don't apologize
not your fault
how are you feeling?

•´¯`• video •´¯`•

[seethelanterns]

....Yes, they did. And it seems like things have calmed down. I don't think they are here anymore.

[seethelanterns]

Jack! are you okay? you weren't attacked were you? i am okay now don't worry.

[2cool4guardian]

i'm fine
bastards didn't get me
wait
you have your voice back too right

[seethelanterns]

oh good. and yes i have my voice back now. i think i worried pascal but he seems okay now at least. took a bit to convince him i am fine now.

[2cool4guardian]

seems you have a little bodyguard there
but at least he's ok too right
found your boyfriend yet?

[silverkhaleesi]

I am very sorry, Rapunzel. I wish I had been here to help you.

[Whether she would have been able to do much...]

[seethelanterns]

he is. he's calmed down now i am back. and no, i haven't heard from eugene yet but i'm sure he'll see me when he hears i am back.

[seethelanterns]

It's okay. I'm fine now and it's not your fault. So don't worry about it, okay?

[2cool4guardian]

we got rid of those gentlemen guys so
if you wanna go out and find him yourself it'll be fine
though if you find something bumping in the night
call me
i wanna see pascal taking care of it

[seethelanterns]

i thought things seemed a bit calmer. i'll have you know pascal can totally also take care of himself. you should have seem him with eugene when they first met. i don't think eugene appreciated pascal's tongue in his ear for starters.

[2cool4guardian]

[This texts takes longer to arrive, Jack is too busy laughing his ass off.]

as calm as they can be here
also pascal is my new hero
does he like popsicles
i'll gift him a whole box

[seethelanterns]

he seems pleased at the 'hero' part. what's a popsicle though?

[silverkhaleesi]

A-Alright then... [She can't help it, though.]

Is there is anything I can do for you?
