we can't hold back in our time of need

[So that was... yeah. That happened again. Rapunzel is sure she's not the only one who was hoping it wouldn't happen again, so she's sure some of the others are as rattled as her. But Sugarplum had a good idea last week; maybe a little gathering after they all make it out of the trial room. Court house? It feels like it should be called that, but even the strange way Corona staged their trials was nothing compared to what they're forced to do.

It's over now, though... for now. For now they're left to the aftermath of the deaths of more people, and Rapunzel is hit with the need to step up; she's a princess. Her job is to help others. If she can just... make everyone feel a little better after all of this, that's good enough for her. So after a quick stop back to her room to grab some supplies, Rapunzel scrawls out a few quick notes, enlisting Cassandra's help to pin them all to the doors of the survivors - even making sure the ones for Foxy and Ace are low enough for them to see and grab!]

I bet we're all in need of a little pick me up after everything that happened. I'm making lunch for everyone, if you want to come to the salon! I'm taking requests, to the best of my ability.

[Unlike Sugarplum (no offense!), Rapunzel has more than sweets on her menu. She managed to rope x-23 in to helping her and Cass at this point, setting up the tables in the salon with plates and utensils like a proper little dinner party.]

[AH... How does she comfort this woman.]

You feel that way because Bill was awful and Kronk wasn't. He didn't deserve being used like that, and then dying because we didn't get a say in it.

[Her voice is gentle but Bill's name gets a bit of venom in it.]

[primafacie]

Yes, I. I suppose that's it. That's still a choice we made, though, and I don't. We'll find a way to fix it, won't we?

[Please lie to her. She's dealing with emotions for like the first time in years.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[God she wishes she could be you right now.]

It's a choice we were forced into. Don't forget that. None of us would've voted for Kronk had we had a choice. [That's what's keeping HER going.] We'll make sure this never happens again...

First, we have to stop the Master from controlling the Genie, and then us.

[primafacie]

I suppose you're right. It's all just so awful that I don't know what to think, honestly. [Do dolls have morality? Not really! She's learning. It's fine.] Maybe it's better to focus on ways we might be able to get out of here.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Listen, Cass is all for a lesson in morality. It's been a while.]

Sure, but... if you ever need to talk, I guess.

[She exists? Ask her, maybe.]

But getting out of here together should always be our number one priority.

[primafacie]

Yes, of course. We - all of us are in this together, are we not?

[There's something sad in the way she says it, clutching the book to her chest tightly.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Yeah. For better or worse.

[Said almost immediately. Of course, their track record hadn't been great so far...]

They'll just keep trying to pull us apart.

[primafacie]

It's ever so unfortunate. I would love to have met you all under better circumstances, but we should make the best of what we have.
