[The video turns on to reveal a very very skeptical face. Very skeptical, and he shakes the communicator a moment before clearing his throat.]

Right. So... the, ah, completely normal little talking mini-pig, er, things... have been helpful enough to answer some questions. But frankly, I'm still feeling a little in the dark here.

More than a little.

[A wave of his hand.] Look, I guess this is supposed to let me talk to people. Which is great. Yay new friends. [This is all said quite flatly. He does not sound excited in the least.] I'm sure you're all fantastic. But I'm a little on the busy side. So if anyone could lend a hand, that would be fantastic.

First. I need a blonde. [Pause.] A very specific blonde. Small, perky. Dragging around about a million feet of impressively shiny hair. She goes by Rapunzel which, yes, I agree, is a mouthful. Anyway, we were separated and we've got a deal to complete. [Maybe he's just a little worried about her.]

And beyond that... [He lifts his hand to show that a small and rather determined chameleon is clinging to his wrist, despite his best efforts to shake it off.] I've got a very insistent frog to return to her. ...as soon as possible would be nice. I'm afraid it might turn violent.

Second. Where am I and how do I make it so that I am not here anymore? I have things to do. People to see. Kingdoms to escort blonds with frogs to.

No time for this weird abducted-to-a-strange-new-world business, thank you very much.

[She has to do this. It's basically automatic.]

Chameleon~

[video]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

[...well. What a useful little magic talking thing this is. He's probably more relieved to see her than he lets on, especially since his reaction is a sigh.] One small scaly thing or another. The point remains-- HEY!

[The yelling is because Pascal has launched himself from Flynn's hand and basically leaped at the communicator and the picture of Rapunzel on it, knocking it straight out of the thief's hand.] Give that back. Drop it!

[He picks it up, more or less by Pascal here, shaking both chameleon and communicator.] Blondie, where are you? Your chameleon is misbehaving. I need a hand here.

[video]

[letdownmyhair]

[She's just giving him that look that basically says "Oh, Flynn, you're so strange and misguided."

That is, until Pascal appears. And seeing Pascal makes Rapunzel's eyes light up immediately. Someone's missed her best friend something awful.] Pascal~!! Ohmygosh, you made it here, too!! I'm so glad you're okay~

[Then she turns that look on Flynn again, complete with a tiny shake of her head.] He's not misbehaving! Pascal never ever misbehaves~

[video]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

[Flynn just stares still trying to pry the chameleon off the communicator, and at last giving up and just trying to peek at her around him.] Yes, great. Happy reunion. Hooray.

[Does he not sound thrilled? He'll be thrilled that chameleon and blonde are reunited later. Right now? Mostly. He sighs.]

And I'm fine too, not to worry.

[How are they ganging up on him when Rapunzel isn't even here in person?]

[video]

[letdownmyhair]

[She's giggling a little, both with Pascal and at Flynn. Mostly just because.]

Oh, I'm glad to see you too, Flynn~! It's been very confusing walking around this place without someone who knows more about all these things than I do.

[A new person has arrived...and she hasn't even finished her gift basket.]

Hello there and welcome to Traverse Town, I'm currently making a welcome pack, which will be delivered to your inn door as soon as possible, this comes with a booklet which might explain things better than I can, but I'm willing to for now answer whatever questions you might want to ask.

[Smiling as bright as anything.]

I've seen someone of that name around here, though I think she's moved worlds since then.

video;

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

Welcome pack? [...seriously? This has to be the weirdest thing that's happened to him in a long time. Which is saying something, let him tell you.]

Uh... thanks. I think. Though I have to admit, I'd prefer a way back home over a welcome basket, even if I'm sure it's lovely.

[A pause.] Moved worlds?

video;

[offrillsandswords]

I'm sorry, I lot of us would like to go home, but so far only two worlds have managed to return from the darkness.

[She glanced down, the basket is to help settle people in, somewhat.]

Yes, if you use the Gummi ships that are found at the stations you can go to other worlds.

video;

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

Uh...huh. [Sorry, kiddo. Skeptical Flynn is skeptical. He raises an eyebrow.] Gummi ships. Sure, all right.

Other worlds though, that I am having some trouble wrapping my mind around here. What sort of other worlds? [The Moogles tried explaining this to him too, but he was too busy trying to figure out what the hell they were.]

[ video ]

[thisonemaiden]

You have arrived in Traverse Town, from there...you should be able to go anywhere you like.

This one is sure that you will find your friend.

Re: [ video ]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

The only place I"m really interested in going is back home. But that doesn't seem to be an option, does it?

[Bit of a bemused smile. This one? Well, sure.] Thanks. I hope you're right.

[ video ]

[thisonemaiden]

Your world has been lost like the others here and this one. It is not completely gone, however.

[ video ]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

Lost but not gone. The darkness that I keep hearing so much about?

I'm really not sure it makes any sense. Am I dreaming? Asleep or knocked out somewhere?

[Video]

[speakstojeffy]

[In response to your video a completely normal witch answers while flying through the sky on her broom. You might notice a few clouds drifting by in the background. ]

Aw, that little frog-guy just looks scared. Would it really attack? I think you should really watch out more for the heartless. They would attack, if they saw you, and thought you had a nice looking heart, and... I guess I'm not really sure why they do that except they don't have hearts of their own and they want one. So, um... you should watch out for them!

[Rambling and non-nonsensical, but it is Sae and she's excited to meet a new person. ]

Re: [Video]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

[Wow. That was a lot of information all at once. Flynn sort of blinks and tilts his head to the side.

...is she flying?]

Scared? You've never met him. He's ruthless. [There's an extremely indignant squeak from Pascal at this.]

Well, I'm pretty safe then. My heart can't possibly be nice looking.

[Video]

[speakstojeffy]

He looks cute!

[Not ruthless at all. ]

I'm glad he isn't really a frog!

[Cause... ew. ]

But I don't think nice looking is really what they look for. They just want any kind of heart.

[Video]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

Oh. Yeah. Adorable.

[He shakes his head at that.] Yeah. He's... a chameleon or something. I don't know. Minor detail.

[A frown.] You're serious about this. They're out to get hearts.

[video]

[moonbeams]

Hmmmmmmm...... [This is Usagi looking into the video feed very very closely and very very skeptically. She may not always be the sharpest crayon in the box (that definitely goes go Ami, as far as her friends are concerned) but she's pretty certain that's not a frog.]

That doesn't look like a frog to me! [she smiles a little.] I think I heard someone say that was their name though! I'm sure your friend is here.

[video]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

[Oh hey another blonde. Not the one he's looking for, but well, at least she's friendly.

But he does sigh a bit.] So I'm told. But frog. Lizard. Salamander. Whatever he is, he's got issues.

[There's a very unhappy noise from Pascal at that.] But I hope so. She's a nice girl, but it wouldn't do her much good to wander around alone.

[moonbeams]

I think he looks pretty nice! [If a bit sassy, but she has a cat who bosses her around so she's not really someone who can talk.]

Hmm.. so you're worried about her then! Hehe. That's sweet of you! I'm sure she'll be happy to hear that you're here!

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

Looks can be deceiving. Let me tell you.

[So sassy, Usagi. Pascal is made of sass and stomach.]

Worried? No... nono. I never said that. Just a matter of professional courtesy.

[video]

[sanguineheels]

Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about getting back home until our worlds are recovered from darkness. [She frowns, considering.]

I haven't heard of your friend, but I'll be sure to keep an eye open for her, if you haven't already heard from her yet. She may already be here herself.

[video]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

So the pigs had it right, huh? Fantastic. [It does not sound like he means "fantastic" though.]

Yeah, I'd appreciate it. You really can't miss her. [He gestures around his head.] Hair. Hair like you would not believe.

Re: [video]

[sanguineheels]

..They're moogles. I don't think they appreciate being called pigs. [Though the tone is scolding, she smile faintly.] I'll keep her hair in mind.

Do you think you'll be alright on your own to get to the hotel? They did give you a key to your room didn't they?

[video]

[muchlesstouchyfeely]

...everyone is so keen on zoology here. [Seriously. Not a frog. Not a pig. Picky girls.]

Yeah, I'm sure I'll manage. I'm used to getting by on my wits and charm.
