...M-Mother might come to Garden? Really?

If she drinks some of my blood her aging will pretty much stop. Along with some other fringe benefits.

[seethelanterns]

Drinks your blood? [This...is new. It sounds a little like those cannibals her Mother warned her about.] How does that work? What benefits?

[daughters_of_janus]

Some added strength, a body that can take a beating and some other things.

Though in return she would have to listen to me.

[seethelanterns]

I'm not sure. I think we'd need to talk to these mods about her....um, circumstances. [ie what would happen if Eugene kept Rapunzel from Gothel and/or Rapunzel was updated.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Then I might be the tie breaker to avoid her from going all decrepit?

[seethelanterns]

I don't know. My mun isn't sure yet about updating me and it might affect Mother....

[daughters_of_janus]

Don't worry if I have my way I'll take good care of her in a way where she won't keep you locked up in a tower.

[seethelanterns]

That probably won't be necessary. There aren't any towers at the Garden for her to keep me in. [Besides, even at the highest floor of the school she could easily escape from the windows climbing down her hair, even if Gothel managed to separate her from Eugene.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Still, you're aware of why she is your "mother" right? It's a little odd you're still concerned for her health.

[seethelanterns]

Just because what Eugene told me means she -- that doesn't mean I would want to hurt her or anything. I just want to talk to her about it, to find out why.

[daughters_of_janus]

I could tell you why if you want. Obviously you'll still need to find out in the game but I know the story.

[seethelanterns]

Well, I am going to talk to Eugene about it more, but....could you tell me?

[daughters_of_janus]

Okay; once upon a time was an old woman who didn't want to grow old. She used a magical plant to regain her youth every so often, becoming young again with just a song. However one day the plant was taken away; used as a medicine to save a dying member of nobility. The properties of the plant were passed on to the noble's daughter's hair.

So the old woman snatched the baby away and raised her, made her grow her hair out nice and long so that she could live forever.

[seethelanterns]

So....it's because of my hair. All that time she was warning me about how others would try to kidnap me and use my hair, to cut it or sell it....when really it was her... [She had sort of gathered as much from what Eugene had said, she just didn't want to believe it.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Exactly. I'm sorry I had to tell you kitten.

[Rapunzel would get hugs, because Jeanette knew a lot about family issues.]

But hey, now you have Eugene and all those other friends.

[seethelanterns]

I know....

[She doesn't even know about her haircut and that it kills Gothel yet, even this is hard enough to come to terms with.]

[daughters_of_janus]

[She'd rub Rapunzel's back.]

Hey come on now, is that any way for a princess to look? What do I need to do to put a smile on your face?

[seethelanterns]

[Even though this girl hardly knew Rapunzel she was still showing she cared. While Gothel had in some ways, this was just more proof how wrong she had been.]

It's just...a lot to take in. I mean, I kind of suspected, after what Eugene told me, but still....all this time, she was lying to me.

I guess I just hope my real parents will accept me. Merlin says they should, that the floating--the lanterns show they never gave up.

[daughters_of_janus]

It's fine I understand. I had something sudden thrown on me like this too.

[She smiled.]

I think your parents do still love you. Of course I doubt they knew what a great woman you would turn out to be.

[seethelanterns]

You did?

I guess I'll find out....when I get to meet them myself.

[daughters_of_janus]

Yeah, my blood didn't become different by accident kitten.

[She nodded and smiled a little.]

That's the spirit and you have that cute boyfriend to keep you company in the mean time.

[seethelanterns]

...How did your blood become different?

[She's not sure if that might be a little too private to ask, but she's never heard of something like that before.]

I don't know if I'd call him my boyfriend, but Eugene has helped me a lot.

[daughters_of_janus]

Well it sounds more extreme than it is but; my sister killed me.

[She was not at all sure how Rapunzel would take that.]

[seethelanterns]

W-what? [Eyes widen, but if her sister killed her how was she still alive? Standing here and talking?]

[daughters_of_janus]

[Jeanette realized this might take more explaining than she thought.]

Do you know what a vampire is?
