[When the screen clicks on it is covered by a small, pale thumb, with only bits of the Porter room visible around the edges of the digit. The bits appear to be moving though as the phone is swung about.]
That voice said people will talk to me through this, Pascal. Do you think Eugene will? Or maybe Mother? Although she's already mad at me and getting sent somewhere even further from home is just going to make her more angry...
[After a few seconds the phone is placed on a surface and the thumb disappears, only to be replaced by a featureless wall. For ten seconds there is nothing.]
...Nothing's happening. Do you think...
[A few seconds later the screen whirls as the phone is turned around, revealing the long haired Rapunzel with a tiny green chameleon on her shoulder. Rapunzel is bent over slightly, her hair tumbling down off the side of her head in waves, and the phone must be propped up on a desk. Girl and Chameleon both look very expectant, eager even, their eyes wide and hopeful, faces maybe two feet from the phone. And nothing happens, of course. Eventually Rapunzel frowns.]
Maybe I'm supposed to say something?
[This is whispered in an aside to the Chameleon, who just shrugs at her, and she turns back to the screen and holds up a hand, giving a little wave of her fingers.]
Hello? I'm Rapunzel. I just woke up here, but I don't know how. Or why. The voice in the ceiling was not very helpful. Uhm. Eugene, if you can hear this I didn't mean to leave the boat, and Mother if you can hear this...I don't know...I'm sorry? [And then in another aside to the chameleon.] Do you think that's enough?

Not everyone is though.

[She frowns.]
The voice in the ceiling said I'm supposed to be one too. A hero, I mean.

I'm not really sure how to be a hero. In the books the heroic knight always wears a suit of armor and rides a big horse and rescues a princess.
[Rapunzel is pretty sure she can't do at least two of those things.]
no subject
Being a hero is just helping people and everyone thinking you're the best thing ever. Not hard.
no subject
...I can see helping people but how do you get everyone to think you're the best ever?
oh dear god why am i the slowest
[ dry sarcasm ]
no subject
[And then she's distracted.]
But I don't have to try and have people think I'm the best ever, right? If I'm not trying to be a hero?
no subject
[ OH THANK GOD ]
No, probably not. If you don't want to.
