[1st orb]

[70ftandcounting]

[ It...took Rapunzel some time to figure out how to work the orb; her hands were trembling so much that she'd dropped it several times before she'd even managed to get a good look at it.

When her message comes through, her voice is shaky and her eyes are narrowed in frustration and a bit of fear. What a way to start her birthday… ]

I--I need to know where I really am, what's going on. Please. It's...it's really important that I go home right away. [ A deep breath. ]

F-Flynn? Are you here?

...

Oh my gosh, Mother really is going to kill me...

W...why not?

Nobody knows. It's true either way.

[WELL that's no good. Rapunzel looks a little lost for a moment, looking over her shoulder and dry-washing her hands.]

So...what...do we do?

[and why are they calling her a princess and why is she decked out in this RIDICULOUS GOWN]

[bondsoflove]

Wait.

[He frowns, watching the movements the girl makes. Skittish--it puts him in mind of a rodent.]

...Wait...for what?

[bondsoflove]

For something to happen.
