Going to theinstitute

[mother_gawful]

If you think I'm going to argue about being sent to this game, you're wrong again, darling~. I like this "power" you've picked for me.

Not that it truly suits me, of course. But it could be fun~.

I am, however, going to object to this new "life story" you've written. You've made things very grim, dear. Yes, I'm talking about Rapunzel. Or, rather, the lack of her. What are trying to do to me?

[Elian isn't liking his AU story much either. Either way, canon or otherwise, it's tragic. The little person teen looks no older than ten and looks at Gothel with a stoic expression.]

My condolences.

[mother_gawful]

I do hope that's not sarcasm, dear~.

[mother_gawful]

[Time for self-focused melodramatics, clearly.]

The one beautiful thing in my life, and he takes it away! He was going to give me some sort of "replacement" (as if she's replaceable) and then take her away, of course, but no! I'm not allowed one bit of sunlight in my life.

[absolute_perception]

I am incapable of sarcasm.

[That was pushed out of him during his "conditioning". However the melodramatics did make him raise a brow.]

Replacement?

[His mother signed him away once his powers erupted to the government for experimentation.]

[mother_gawful]

Really~. How interesting~.

2/2

[mother_gawful]

[She sniffs and wipes at an eye dramatically.] Yes--a daughter that wasn't Rapunzel, but was quite like Rapunzel. And for some reason he insisted that it was essential that I lose her, too--but then he decided I couldn't even have that! No, I need to have been alone all my life!

[absolute_perception]

Correct.

[He tilts his head and listens. Of course he really didn't understand everything that was going on, he does pick out what he could.]

I'm sorry that he chose to take you along the route of such cruelty, however, it would help to understand why he chose to do so. If he is anything like mine, your questions would only provide fruitless answers.

[seethelanterns]

You mean I won't be at this Institute place?

[squeak_squeaker]

Did you lose your rapunzel, ma'am? [Gee... that poor lady! Kronk had no idea what it was, though.]

What's it look like?

[mother_gawful]

Oh, you will be. We just won't know each other. [She sounds bitter.]

You'll have a different mother, and I won't have a daughter at all.

[mother_gawful]

Rapunzel is my daughter. [Wary...]

I'm afraid a search won't help. You'd have to argue my case with our muns.

[squeak_squeaker]

[Gasp.] You lost your daughter?

But...uh. But that's not very nice of your mun, that you can't go look for her! [Kronk didn't approve, mun.]

[mother_gawful]

Heh. Oh, I know his reasoning... It's simply ridiculously cruel.

[mother_gawful]

[This one isn't very bright. She can work with this.] No, it isn't! And he did it on purpose! [Wailing now.]

[M-mun insists there's a reason, Kronk...]

[squeak_squeaker]

['Not very bright' was an understatement here.]

He DID? That's... that's really mean. Yeah. [He blinked slowly, before smiling brightly at her.] I'll help you find her! The Junior Chipmunks taught me all about tracking stuff and finding stuff, ma'am. And since Yzma's not around I'm moving onto the next creepy villainess I have loads of free time to help other people!

[mother_gawful]

It is! [Sniffling!]

[mother_gawful]

[And then she breaks into laughter.] You won't have to look far. Try the conversation just above us.

3/3

[mother_gawful]

The problem is my mun won't let me keep her.

[squeak_squeaker]

Oh... that's weird! You're her mama. Why won't your mun let you keep her?

[Kronk was very sweet, especially for such a big guy, but he kind of wanted to poke that mun really hard in the tummy or something, now! What a mean-spirited fellow.]

[mother_gawful]

I don't know! He says it would interfere with my ability to teach. Which is ridiculous. I have her in a different game, and I'm a wonderful teacher there. [That's... one way of putting things...]

[squeak_squeaker]

Seems like your mun's not the nicest guy, ma'am.

[Kronk felt very bad for her, especially since his' was such a nice girl. Sort of. Right?]

Do you want something to eat? Cake? It'll make you feel better!

[mother_gawful]

No. No, he's not. [Indignant sniff.]

...It won't help.

[squeak_squeaker]

Wanna hug? [Spread arms! Kronk gave nice hugs and he only broke someone's spine by accident once.]

[mother_gawful]

Ah... That's alright. ...I'm not much of a hug person. [This is a lie. But he looks a bit too strong for hugs. ...She likes her spine the way it is.]

[squeak_squeaker]

Do you want some chocolate cake, then? It's even better than hugs! [Kronk wanted to do SOMETHING to cheer that poor lady up.]

[absolute_perception]

I see.

[There's a small amount of sympathy. Very subtle, but it's there.]

Cruelty is only the beginning of what they are capable of and no amount of power we possess can change what they do to us. It is now twice I lose my father. She is fortunate that I cannot retaliate physically otherwise I would be free.

[seethelanterns]

But....

[Unsure. Gothel was the one who raised her, who she had grown up believing was her mother. However, life could certainly have been very different if she had had someone else.]

This game can do that? Change your memories?

[mother_gawful]

My mun calls it an "AU" game. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I think it does a bit more than change memories, dear.

[seethelanterns]

Oh.....That's...confusing. I'm sorry. It looks like I will be there though, or, another me, at least. Even if we might not remember each other.
