Hello, everyone! This is Rapunzel! I've seen some of you around, or at school...

Well, anyway, I just wanted to say that it's two weeks until prom, and I can make dresses for anyone who needs one! I've had a lot of practice, and I'd be more than happy to help.

And, uh... I have a question, too. What if someone doesn't have a date to prom? Or isn't really sure they want one?

Comments

[promfromhell]

...they said you don't have to have a date to go.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I thought Haruko said I needed one...

[promfromhell]

...That's not what I heard.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well, that's... Strange.

I must have misunderstood.

[promfromhell]

...I don't want to get a date anyway.

[Also she wouldn't be able to find one. Also her last date died.]

[heavenfang]

I don't think you need one, no.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It's not what I was told, but I think it's a good thing. That way, anyone can go!

[heavenfang]

I mean, the formal dances they had in Gregminster when I was a kid didn't seem to require them, so why should this, right?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Right! Was Gregminster a school?

[heavenfang]

Gregminster was the capital city of my home country. I was born there, so it's my home town, too, heh.

[fifthtimearound]

You can go stag, it's not a problem.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Stag? Like... A deer?

[ooeeooahah]

No, hon. There's some people who are all wrapped up in matching others up, so they insist on a couple, but that's not required at all. You can go by yourself, or in a group. It's up to you.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I see! Thank you.

[ooeeooahah]

Dress up, come out and dance. This is our chance to have fun together.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I plan to! It sounds really nice.

[ooeeooahah]

Do you have someone to help with your hair?

[kingofshadows]

...Rapunzel?

Would you, by any chance, happen to have an absurdly long length of hair?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

...Why?

[kingofshadows]

I knew someone with the name once. ...With the voice, too.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Really?

Not you, too.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Not me, too, what?

[from his seat at the kitchen table, he rolls his eyes. a half-dismantled toaster and a frying pan are laying before him along with several miscellaneous tools.]

You caught the prom bug. I thought you'd be above that.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

What's wrong with that? It sounds fun. I like dancing.
