๐// everytime a non Francine ID or the narrator types out Rapunzel instead of rapunzelle itโs bc Iโm exhausted and forgot or ran out of character space
ok I mirmir now my head hurts So bad โฆ. Gn โฆ
@PARANOIDHATRED โI guess we donโt know eachother then.โ
She say that part without thinking too.
It takes a moment for the truth of the retort to actually sink in.
They didnโt.
They never really did.
โโฆ I donโt think I like this โyouโ as much.โ
@LCB_Rapunzel โYou whatโ
Francine stares at her stupidly.
Not.! Part of the plan! !! Not what was supposed to happen! Oh Rapunzel definitely knew. And if she didnโt know, she was about to know. Francine should die right now . It would be less embarrassing.
โY-yeah! Sure! Of course..!โ
[ Beach Day! ๐๏ธ ]
The last time sheโd spent time at the beach was when the LCR had its outing, and sheโd hated every bit of it. The heat, the sand, the heat again, she really really hates the heat โ
Itโd been nearly a year since then. And โฆ
Yeah. No. she still hates this.

Entering one of U Corp's beaches ahead of the people, Hanako climbed the rocks and leaned over the edge, admiring the view of it all.
The sea breeze hits her like summer kissing her cheek.
She's happy.
[QRT WITH YOUR INT BAIT!]

@LCR_Perona [ ๐ชข ]
The pinky apprentice notices of course. Sheโd been taught to pick up on the tiniest differences in her environment โฆ something this close was impossible to miss.
โMastโ Peronaโฆ?โ
@rightdooropened Perona pauses.
Places a hand on Francine's head.
"Well, good job kid, I probably never say it, but I am proud of how strong you are."
She scruffs Francine's hair slightly with a small smile.
@Neonrunner1129 [ ๐ชข ]
The apprentice accepts the coupons with a confounded look.
โForgive this unknowing self.. I fear this is yet another thing I know little of.
But why would a service as fast as a Warp Train offer first class..? 10 seconds is hardly enough to even become comfortable.โ
@LCB_Rapunzel waow sunscreen applied. Francine zips the swimsuit back up an turns around again.
Her face is just as pink as before. Flustered, she holds the bottle out to Rapunzel.
โDid you.. um .. you already applied your own right? Youโre ah, probably not as forgetful as me ahaโฆโ ๐ฆ
@remnantsofacage [ The tigerโs smile strains a bit at that.
Not untrue โฆ but..
โฆ ow, itโs hurting her head to try to picture that right now. ]
โIโve just had a lot on my mindโฆ โ
[ She turns as asked to. ]
โโฆ Iโve not seen you in a while โฆ I didnโt know you were coming. โ
@Regrets_endLCB [ she crouches down, dipping her hands into the lake and feeling the motion of the wage through her fingers. ]
[ this oneโs Moderately warm.
Not cold like the one back home. Not still. ]
โฆitโs sort of depressing when you put it like that, isnโt it..?
@Regrets_endLCB I know .
[ Did she want to be friends..? It didnโt matter, probably. He didnโt want to be.
Maybe itd be easier this way. ]
โฆ Iโd never thought about it that way, honestly. The uhm. Water. I try not to think about it.

@stradanie24 โ..Iโd .. appreciate thatโฆโ
Sighโฆ the initial startle has passed. Francine back to her low energy self again.
โItโs fine. I think I was just in my own head againโฆ you know how it is.โ
@epicureansmoke โ I donโt follow your artsy-talk very much but โฆ stuff has to be a little balanced or something, doesnโt it?
This is overwhelming.. too bright, too hotโฆ too /loud/.โ
@epicureansmoke Francine follows the gesture with her eyes, but only winces away at the brightness of the beach. Maybe a pair of sunglasses should be added to that list too.
โThen Iโm going to โliveโ in doorsโฆ seriously, isnโt this hurting your eyes at least a little bit?โ
She huffs.
