THE MOCK WEEK

[You find yourself waking in a large dressing room, incredibly spacious, but in intense disarray. The bed is comfortable enough, and each room seems to be equipped with a working bathroom and shower, so it's at least livable. But aesthetically, the place has hit the floor.

The horrifying clock
mounted on the wall reads 9 am. After enough searching, you'll find a large tourist-y map of the studio on one of the dressers. An ominous note attached to the map with a paperclip reads "12PM WAITING AREA". It's not like you have any choice in the matter, seeing as there doesn't seem to be any way out.

Upon exiting the dressing room, you note a crooked star attached to the door bearing your name. There are 24 others like this, bearing names that you may or may not recognize. A quick tour around the studio reveals it to be in a similar state of disrepair, but something doesn't sit...right with you. Though the place is certainly creepy, you get strange vibes as you explore the building. As you move about the dust-filled halls of the abandoned building, you may spot movement out of the corner of your eye, or hear strange noises from behind you. It's nothing to be worried about, though...right?

At the very least, you'll find some comfort. The projection room and attached theater still seem to be in working order, though you'll have to manually grab one of the reels off the wall and start the thing yourself. In addition, the waiting area and lounge are both filled with reading materials, and the later features a large stage and a microphone. The commissary seems to replenish itself with food whenever you take your eyes off of it, ensuring that we won't be going hungry anytime soon. There are also cabinets full of ingredients and a small kitchen should you not trust whatever your benefactor is placing out for you.

Fortunately for them, the smaller individuals amongst your party won't find a great deal of difficulty moving around. Though their beds remain oversized, there seem to be appropriately-sized staircases and escalators placed about in appropriate spots, so as to make their lives easier. After all, they can't just keep relying on the others to get up to the cabinets and such, can they?

While you're waiting to find out what the deal here is, you might as well come out and socialize.]

[Is it pathetic that the moment the hair's around her waist, Kim suddenly feels more comfortable with this whole situation? Finally, something attacks her. She sees it coming about...a split-second before it grabs, her reflexes are quick, but not quick enough.

Ah, she assumes, a hair monster, of course that's what's going on. It solves everything, ridiculous and doesn't match up with this place at all, why wouldn't it be a hair monster.

Knowing it's a hair monster fixes nothing, though, especially since Kim lets out a little reactionary shriek as it lifts her into the air. What to do here? If only she had her Blade Blaster- her power coin, not hers anymore remember Kim- to cut it, but she'll have to make due.

Kimberly pushes off the ground with one foot, and she uses the hair's momentum to her advantage. With that combined, she hopes it'll send her up to the rafters, so she's got a nimble and flexible leg outstretched, to kick!

...For good measure, she lets out a hyah.]
tonewlengths: (Do not mention the dog park!)

an epic battle for the ages!!!

[Her hyah is met with a girly shriek and clambering to get away, Rapunzel ducks behind one of the wooden beams to restrategise.

Okay so her kidnappers know kung-fu. That's fine. The ceiling is her turf! She's got this! Rapunzel loops her hair around Kimberly's foot and takes the hair, jumping down to a lower level with it in her hand so that if she's quick enough, she can flip the girl upside down.]


H-Hold still!
pinkflip: (open up and let me be)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hair monster, shrieking? Kim has but a moment to think that before she's turned upside-down, with her own super-girl shriek, to match the one the hair monster made.

...Or...not hair monster. This just kind of looks like...a girl.]


H-hey-- okay, mega-head rush. [She's very glad she has a leotard on under her sundress, because being upside-down makes it ride up and fall. With one hand, she tries to push it so it's at least out of her face. The other hand...

She's a very flexible girl. And she's spent the last few months training for international competition, the last few years defending the world. Kim takes a deep breath and folds her body up, grasping at the hair tied around her foot. She's not trying to untie it. Rather...]


Sorry 'bout this, but let go! [To pull on it. To get her to let go.]
tonewlengths: (Do not mention the dog park!)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2017-05-09 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[The thing about the hair, there's just so much of it, and half of it is looped around beams for leverage because this isn't Rapunzel's first rodeo, that you'd have to pull much harder on an entirely different part of the hair for her to feel anything.]

Me let go? I'm the one that should be saying that! Where is this? I demand you let me out of here, you, you kidnapper.
pinkflip: i know you think that god will solve them (i know you think it's not your problem)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, nothing? Kim grimaces. Hair-pulling should get something. But, uh, hold on there, she keeps pulling at the hair and twists her torso around to try and look at the girl again.]

Wha- kidnapper, I'm no kidnapper! I'm a kidnapee, goldie!

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2017-05-09 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[The girl sounds so outraged that Rapunzel almost relents, but she steels herself, it could be a trap!]

A likely story! That's just the kind of trick a kidnapper would say, I'm on to you! If you're a kidnapee, where's your proof?

And it's Rapunzel.
pinkflip: (done looking for the critics)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Proof? [She huffs, and lets go of the hair and just lets herself straighten out. Staying all bent up for a long period of time is annoying.] I'll give you proof, if I kidnapped you, do you really think I'd let you get the best of me so easily, or without a whole bunch of backup? Just let me down, there's been a misunderstanding!

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2017-05-09 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you're a kidnapper that got more than you bargained for. Ever think of that? I bet you thought I'd go down easy, well that shows you.

[YOU DON'T SCARE ME POTENTIAL KIDNAPPER I'M IN CHARGE HERE]
pinkflip: why do i do that? (why do we do that‚ why do we do that)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhhhhh...!! [She flails and again tries to adjust her dress.] I just woke up in a garbage icky dressing room and my communicator's broken and I've so missed my plane and you are giving me a headache, let me doooooown!

[...there are sometimes you just gotta. channel your inner rita repulsa. and scream. and whine.]
Edited (italics....) 2017-05-09 23:08 (UTC)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2017-05-09 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[This was not as planned. Rapunzel doesn't know what to do with whining. This is making her feel guilty and that's not fair, that's a dirty trick!]

H, Hey, that's not - I didn't mean, don't, h-hey come on!
pinkflip: please, don't leave me (when my heart is broken)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh, hey, it's working. Kimberly is not above whining to get her way. She is very much not above that.]

Noooo! Let me go, let me go, I just wanted to spend a nice car ride with my boyfriend, let me go, pleeeease!

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2017-05-09 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's so sad, what if she really is a kidnap victim? What if Rapunzel got it wrong and she's just making a girl sad for no reason? What if she's the worst person in the world?]

Just, calm down, if you're really not a kidnapper then, help me find a way out, and we can get you all the car rides and boyfriends you want.
pinkflip: (i forgot to say out loud)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sniffles. It's only half-exaggerated, she really thought she was done with kidnapping and helplessness. The flailing's stopped and she's just trying to keep her sundress up now, biting her bottom lip and making her eyes real big.]

Of course I'll help, just- put me down and we can talk? My head's all spinning.

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2017-05-11 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay... Okay, fine. Just hold still, and don't try anything, alright?

[Gathering up her hair, flicking her wrist to unwind some and gently lowering her down.]
pinkflip: (mistreated‚ misplaced‚ misunderstood)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-12 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[While upset, Kim isn't stupid, so she cooperates, reigning in her frustration and taking a very deep breath. Once she's on the ground she's much calmer, and...not being upside-down probably has something to do with that as well.]

Thank you. [There's a tinge of "finally" in there, and...she's looking up at the hair-captor, still on one of the upper levels.] Now, will you come down? ...Please?
