considering luceti or asgardeventide.

[madskillets]

Whoa whoa whoa, hey! Let's not get ahead of ourselves, here. You're not even done watching the movie! And more of me is never a bad thing, right?

So, where'm I going this time? Back to that village? Maybe... someplace new? Or nowhere at all? I can't say I care too much. Gotta say, it's a nice break when no one's chasing me around, trying to kill me or arrest me or what have you.

But, hey, we should talk. You know that canon point you're thinking of taking me from? That canon point where I died? Yeah, no, not cool. Way to make a guy believe he's gone forever, run out on his girl, all sorts of unpleasant stuff. C'mon, maybe we can negotiate. No? What if I smoulder? Would the smoulder work as compensation?

No?

You're a tough one. You know what? We'll talk. Finish that movie. It's just getting good! My big escape. Good stuff, right?

[seethelanterns]

Having another off day, are we?

[The smoulder does not work. At least, it didn't on Rapunzel, and apparently doesn't on his mun. How fitting and amusing.]

My mun is considering whether to take me somewhere else as well.

[madskillets]

Iiii have more of those than you think. If we're being entirely honest here. But don't tell anyone, alright?

[ Something of a grin. ]

Yeah? Where d'you think you're going?

[seethelanterns]

Of course. That reputation of yours, right?

[A small, teasing smile.]

Oh, she rather one of the other two games she is in before trying a new one entirely, but, either scorched or soul_campaign for now, if she does actually go ahead and app.

[madskillets]

[ .................... ]

You know, I gotta say. Both of those seem preeeetty ... cheerful! Bright. Sunny. Totally safe. You know. No ruffians or thugs whatsoever. Your munny sure about that, Rapunzel?

[seethelanterns]

That's....one way to describe them? But, I mean, the game I'm currently in is a military school so I guess that Death City place with Shibusen wouldn't be...too different. She's just considering it for now though.

That Luceti place is the one with the wings, right? What about that Asgard one?

[madskillets]

A military school. You know? Somehow, I can see it. Kicking but one lock of seventy foot hair at a time.

Yep, wings. And other stuff, like scientists that nobody likes. Asgard... dunno. Never been. Something about gods. Iiii don't know, I don't keep track. I go where she sends me and I just try to hang on in the meantime.

[seethelanterns]

Well, I'm still learning in classes, but my focus is on recovery magic. I've been helping out at the infirmary quite a bit.

Wings, Eugene! That would be so amazing! Gods? Well, whichever she sends you to, I'm sure it won't be...too bad?

[Though. Scientists. :l You don't seem too keen on that, Eugene.]

[corona]

Wow, Flynn. You're getting really popular all of a sudden! [ L-LOW BLOW ]

Huh. I didn't think I'd ever see more than two of you at once. It feels kinda like bird watching now.

[madskillets]

Wh-- what do you mean, all of a sudden? I've always been popular! Thaaat was sort of the problem.

Anyway! Hey, come on. I'm not like a dime a dozen, right? There's only one Eu-- uh. I mean, Flynn Rider. Right? Right.

[corona]

Well. You aren't like a bird! If... that's what you meant. Heh. But I don't know if I'd be the right person to ask that question, really. You're pretty much the only person I know.

[madskillets]

You know what? Let's just totally forget that comparison, because I am not like a bird. Not even a little bit. I'm so much cooler than that, right?

[ A beat. ]

You know, you really need to get out more. I mean, I'm a pretty great person to know. But you should still... you know. A few girlfriends, maybe? A penpal? You know. Somebody! Anybody, really. [ Another beat. ] Not that I want you to leave or anything. It's just...

[ Smooth, Flynn. ]

[corona]

A penpal. [ And lucky for him she is like comically easy to please. ] That's a beautiful word. Penpal. What does that mean?

[madskillets]

That doesn't-- you don't--

Uh.

[ ... ]

You've ... never written a letter before? To anybody?

hi i'm late

[gleamed]

[...Wow no that is an awful canon point. That sort of, uh, never happened to her. Sooo apologies if she's kind of hung up on that despite the fact that there's a chance she'll actually see him soon.]

Eugene...? Um--! What do you mean, died? Are you okay?

[SERIOUSLY THAT ISN'T COOL

THIS IS A DISNEY MOVIE]

LOL OH NO you're terrible

[madskillets]

[ Opens mouth.

Shuts it.

Sighs out, slowly. ]

Rapunzel...

[ How do you explain the fact that you died to save the person you love to that person? Who hasn't been through that yet? ]

... let's just say things didn't ... go exactly according to plan.

But I'm fine! Really. Take a look. Not a scratch on me.

i know, i know

[gleamed]

[It's okay, Eugene! He still saved her like, kind of...he just didn't momentarily die in the process! It's kind of a funny story. She'll have to tell him sometime.

BUT NO SERIOUSLY SHE IS STILL FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW.]

Whatdoyoumeantheydidntgoaccordingtoplan[BREATHE]--are you--sure you're okay? I mean, really? You're not...?

[SHE CAN'T EVEN SAY IT.]

[madskillets]

I'm fine. [ Spreads his hands in a placating gesture. ] See? I'm still here! Breathing, living, all that good stuff.

[ ... but his eyes search her face. ]

... I guess you don't ... remember, huh.

[gleamed]

[Living. Breathing. Yes, that's good. It is very, very VERY good but the fact still remains that there was a time when he wasn't and oh, what if it was her fault? Did he hurt because of her?

She speaks past that swelling feeling.]

No, I...I don't. Oh, Eugene, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry!

[madskillets]

It's okay, it's okay! You don't have to apologize for anything. [ He reaches out, before he can think better of it, to brush the backs of his fingers across her cheek. ] Trust me, you ... weren't exactly happy with my decision.

[ He lowers his eyes, briefly, then looks back up at her with an uncharacteristically serious look. Sort of soft, and knowing. ] Besides, this ... isn't my story. It's yours. How would you want your story to end?

now I will break the combo

[ofbravery]

That's an awful lot of bellyachin' comin' from someone who says he doesn't 'care too much'. Which is it? Do yah or not?

YES GOOD

[madskillets]

Hey now! There's a difference, alright? I don't care where she sends me. But I do care when she takes me from. You'd care too, if it was you.

[ofbravery]

[Oh, blah blah blah.] I wouldn't! That's half the fun, isn't it! Keeps yah on yer toes! I woudln't go off whinin' to me mun.

[madskillets]

You wouldn't care about being dead?

[ofbravery]

I wouldn't! [She would.] Because I would've died in some ways livin' up to me clan! Fightin' a--a great beast, perhaps!

[SHE CAN SEE IT NOW...] We'd be at the cliffside, face to face, tooth to claw, battlin' for our lives! He'd swipe and me, one-two, I'd shoot it down with me bow. An arrow straight through his eye, and it'd clatter over the edge--but! He'd catch me just at the last second, takin' me to a watery grave of legends.

[What a way to go.]

oh my god that icon

[madskillets]

[ Lifts a brow. ]

Do you ... you know, get out much? Because a lot of this sounds to me like, you know. The voice of total inexperience.
