❀ Two Adventures in Two Days [backdated]

Characters: Rapunzel, open to anyone wishing to join!
Location: Luministi Greens West, near A12
Time: Backdated ALL DAY ERRYDAY... say, August 9th thereabouts? With the possibility of retconning. ._.
Summary: Corona and then Luministi? This was an adventure Rapunzel didn't know she was about to take. She reacts accordingly--by freaking out.
Warnings: None



It was all very strange--first she'd been in the kingdom of Corona with Eugene, watching the lanterns lighting up the night sky. It had been everything she'd dared dream, and she'd thought that maybe she'd even been about to receive her first kiss!

So why was she waking up here? Rapunzel looked around the bedroom she'd found herself in, taking in her surroundings. She hadn't been expecting to suddenly wake up somewhere else, and this time...

"Where am I?"

This time she wasn't even sure where she'd woken up. All at once, her mind was flooded with the horror stories her mother had told her--maybe she'd been kidnapped! Something had happened while they were watching the lanterns, and now she'd been captured and brought here. Had they wanted her for her hair? Rapunzel gasped, reaching up to feel her hair. All in its braid, as far as she could tell. She pulled the braid around--still blonde. At least that much was a relief.

"Hello and good morning!"

Rapunzel leapt what felt like a foot in the air in terror, the smallest of shrieks escaping her. At once she slid over the side of the bed, cowering behind it as she stared at the man that had just suddenly appeared, beaming at her from beside the bed.

But he continued to talk regardless, and as he kept on, Rapunzel began to realize that maybe he wasn't actually there. Growing braver, she stood up, rounding the end of the bed to watch him (though she still wasn't getting that close to him, just in case). "...and again, welcome to Luministi!" he eventually finished, and disappeared from the screen.

Rapunzel couldn't help but take a step forward, reaching out for the mysterious man. "Wait!" she cried, even though he was already gone. "But where is Luministi?" It hadn't been in any of the atlases she and Eugene had looked at during the festival...

Wait. Rapunzel twisted around anew, observing the room with a fresh eye. Where was Eugene? He'd been with her--had they gotten to him, too? A wave of panic swept over her: first, she was in some town she'd never heard of. She'd possibly been kidnapped by the sorts of bad people her mother had always warned her of, and to top it all off, Eugene was nowhere to be found.

"Eugene?"

She bolted out of the room, glancing around her for anything that might be helpful. There was a kitchen visible through a doorway. Rapunzel hurried in, rummaging around and--she almost sighed with relief as she caught sight of it. Her fingers wrapped around the handle of a cast-iron frying pan; she lifted it up to test the weight. A touch lighter than her own at home, but she would be able to handle it fine, and just having something to defend herself with made her feel slightly more at-ease.

Properly equipped, she was ready to head out. Rapunzel headed to the door, peering out for anything that might be awaiting her before opening it and stepping out onto the front porch.

"This... what is this place?"

It was so different from anything she'd ever seen before!


[ooc: And after that gigantic wall of tl;dring... Rapunzel will be in the western greens, wandering about, but will soon decide that she needs to go on the hunt to find Flynn, if he's there. So feel free to run into her anywhere in the greens or in the town!]

After nearly two weeks' time, Flynn was beginning to grow accustomed a little to how things worked in Luministi. The main thing he'd supposedly figured out was that there seemed to be nearly no way out.

Despite knowing that, Flynn spent every day prowling as much area as he could of the town looking for some secret entrance -- some hidden portal -- that he might have missed in his first dozen or so searches.

At the time Rapunzel was leaving her town home, Flynn was actually on his way back to his side of town, looking forward to kicking back and dutifully marking off another section of the town searched on the map he'd been working on.

Spotting her, though, he slowed to a stop, head tilting just slightly in disbelief.

"Blondie?"

Surely not. After all this time he had thought that there was no way she would end up in this place with him. What were the odds?
