[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: Oxygen Gardens
WARNINGS: Camping.
SUMMARY: Hanging out in camp, discussing pirates, etc.
NOTES: Open to all!

oh god she's back at Aperture

[toomuchtenacity]

[Luckily for Chell she's been jumpy since hearing about the pirates and is a bit on edge. Which means as something comes flying towards her head she moves quickly and it just misses connecting as she drops and rolls.]

[Getting up and aiming the Portal gun at whatever tried to hit her. Not that this would do much good as it's a portal gun, not a real gun, but still. Old habits.]

sob chell

[sundroplet]

[ The moment she draws the gun, Rapunzel screams and jumps into the bushes, leaving a trail of long blond hair behind that just might be a big hint to her identity. ]

G-go away!

[toomuchtenacity]

[Wait what? She lets the gun drop down in her hands and walks over the to the bushes.]

[sundroplet]

[ and there she'll find Rapunzel and Pascal, huddled just beneath the frying pan, she lifts it again --

And freezes. ]

Chell?

[toomuchtenacity]

[Chell lets go of the portal gun with one hand and raises it in a wave. Still a bit confused.]

[sundroplet]

[ she yelps, covers her face with the frying pan again. ]

It's me! It's me, it's Rapunzel - I'm so sorry! I thought you were one of these pirates who came to steal my hair.

[toomuchtenacity]

[She shakes her head at that and offers the girl a hand up.]

[sundroplet]

[ For a moment, she is all hesitation and lip biting. A moment later she takes it, smiles. ]

Sorry. And - well. Thank you.

[toomuchtenacity]

[Helps her up with a nod.]

Afraid of the pirates?

[sundroplet]

No. I'm...not afraid of anything, especially not pirates who are basically big, ugly ruffians with fangs who came to steal all our food and possibly my hair.

[ ...she's terrified. ]

...I am not frightened whatsoever.

[toomuchtenacity]

[Of course not. She's caught by the last part of that though.]

Why would they steal hair?

[sundroplet]

O-oh well! Um!

[ she can't really say 'because it's magic'. ]

My mother said there were some...in my world who tried. Why would someone steal anything, really? haha.

[toomuchtenacity]

....is hair valuable in your world?

[That's the only reason she can think of why someone would steal something.]

[sundroplet]

Um, sort of..?

[Curious/confused. look. Wut.]
