[prologue] post-execution, w/ rapunzel

[asswipe]

[Honestly? Returning to the tailor after the execution is pretty horrifying. Not because there's still a mess laying around, but because there isn't. Everything has been tidied up, almost making it seem like nothing ever happened. It's... kind of a lot to process.

But Rapunzel is there, and talking to people is. Good. Probably? It's best to try and gauge other people's current moods, anyway, even if she isn't really familiar with her yet.]

... Hey. [Gives her an awkward wave, whatever she may be doing.] How are you feeling?

[ rapunzel's extremely relieved for both jae-ha and sousei, but she's still a little somber. so, she's been putting herself to work making the clothes she's promised other people --- it's a good distraction. ]

Oh.... hello, Veronica.

[ she gives her a little smile, trying to look encouraging. ] Umm... well.. I still don't fully know what happened, but... I'm really relieved for Jae-ha and Sousei both.

[asswipe]

You and me both.

[People are going to die again, but not today. Veronica's honestly still reeling, and she tries to occupy her hands by sorting through the clothes still left at the tailor.]

I still don't really get it, either, but... Dragon said something. That "they" came through for Jae-ha and Sousei. Like one of us, right?

[ team distraction go. ]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too --- it might be one of the "gifts" we've gotten. I wish I knew who did it so I could give them a big hug.

[ she was really freaking out about sousei and jae-ha, ngl. ]

[asswipe]

You and me both. They really came through for them, even though it didn't sound like they had to.

[hairbrain]

Maybe I'll bake some cookies. As a thank you.

[ probably not a great idea in a murder castle but the sentiment is there.... she supposes... ]

So.... Veronica, what were you doing here?

[asswipe]

[the sentiment is, indeed, there.]

This was the room I checked out when... you know. I guess... I wanted to see if anything had changed.

[hairbrain]

Oh, that's smart. I actually came here because I wanted to make some clothing.

[ she feels bad for not being part of the investigation, though. ]

Maybe I can help?

[asswipe]

Sure. If you want? I mean— Just at a glance it seems like they cleaned everything up.

[hairbrain]

It's like nothing ever happened, really.

[ rapunzel is detecting around. ]
