[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...

Are in Schwanheim! Schwanheim is good! [Not quite so good these past few days, but still plenty good enough]

[70ftandcounting]

What...where is Schwanheim?

[Maybe that's the name of the town Flynn was taking her too...]

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[Oh, this is a hard question. Um.... Um..... Oh! Faolan knows the answer!]

Here!

[70ftandcounting]

[....Huh.]

I...I see.

[Except not really.]

Is there a way out? Home? I don't understand how I got here...

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[Faolan's breath catches and he has to look away. There's a whimper in his voice when he answers.]

Some go home.

[ she's said something wrong. she's not sure what, biut she's definitely said something wrong. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't -- I didn't meant to...upset you.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Daddy left. Left without Faolan! [Lower lip is now trembling.]

[70ftandcounting]

[ ...UH OH. BACKPEDAL. ]

W-well...perhaps...perhaps he'll be back?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Might be back? [Perk]

[70ftandcounting]

[ UM. ]

I suppose...that it's possible?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[And he is instantly back to poing.] Could! Thor came back! You came back!

[70ftandcounting]

Thor?

[ what ]

I-- what? What do you mean?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Don't remember? Were here! [Hm. Thor didn't remember either. This does not give him much hope that if Daddy or Daddy or Snow ever come back they will remember him. This is sad.]

[He pouts a bit]

Don't want to be friends with Faolan?

[70ftandcounting]

I don't remember...no.

[ D: ]

W-what? Of course I do!

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[Th is is greeted by the return of a brilliant smile]

Can play?

[70ftandcounting]

Well...alright! What do you want to play...?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Can play chase? Faolan likes to chase! And catch!

[70ftandcounting]

Well, sure -- I can do that! [ pascal likes that right?! suuuure he does. ]

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[Faolan positively beams]

When really meet, will play!

[70ftandcounting]

Okay, that sounds wonderful!
