this might be a cdc setting thing who knows

[starblazes]

[She hadn't turned them down when they recruited her. She didn't have much of an opinion one way or another, even though these people are dealing with the living instead of the already dead. But what is a Black Shooter if not a doll to be used for the agenda of others? Rock had listened compliantly and said little (nothing, actually), which they had taken for agreement.

The planet doesn't surprise her that much. There isn't any familiarity to it, but she's used to that from the phantasmic worlds stagnant souls create for themselves. Urban cities, small European towns, jungles - this is just another in a long line of curious places that need to be dealt with before she can move on to the next.

There is something that's begun to nag at her, though. Curiosity. It might just be from the fish raining down from the sky. It could also be the result of being thrown into such a bizarre situation, no Ron to guide her (just a nonsentient weapon to resemble him, looking like a huge black metallic snake currently coiled around her upper arm), no stagnant souls to purify, only the orders from these new people to follow.

She isn't sure, as she passively watches the fish from underneath a giant spire.]

((Using this setting.))

[It certainly is, and she isn't going to turn him down even if it's a half-eaten fish that fell from the sky.

She'll take it and bite into it, chewing quietly.]

[lettdown]

[ She's even quieter than he is. And the fact that he notices that right away off the bat is a big thing for him. Rapunzel actually blinks a little as he watches her eat, but it's only for a few moments before he decides to stand a foot or so off to her underneath the spire.

He doesn't even mind that they aren't really having much of a conversation. It's actually a relief after all the hustle as bustle so far. ]

...Good?

[starblazes]

[She doesn't mind the silence, either. It's nice, given Ron has a tendency to talk her head off all the time.

But that fish is, frankly, pretty awful. She's swallowing that mouthful hard, and because she's hungry enough her next one is just going to be swallowed without chewing.]

............. It'll do.

[lettdown]

[ RAPUNZEL WONDERS ABOUT THAT. He can see the colour drain from her face during those two mouthfuls. It definitely looks like she's forcing herself there maybe he should have not offered her the fish?? ]

.................

Um...

[starblazes]

[Yeah, yeah....

After she's got the bare minimum of food in her she'll hurriedly hand it back.]

Th... thank you.

[lettdown]

....Sorry. [ Which also doubles as a "you're welcome" in this case. Poor human girl(?). Maybe it wasn't a good diea to give her something uncooked. Humans tended to vomit a lot over the smallest things after all. ]

[starblazes]

[She's wishing that the fish had at least been cooked. Raining fish is already pretty strange, what's wrong with going one step further and cooking it? But she's tough, so she'll survive.

She'll give Rapunzel another glance. It was nice of him to offer the fish, no matter how awful it was. She hesitates, before deciding to respond:]

Rock.

[lettdown]

[ The best choice in rock-paper-scissors. But he's pretty sure she's not just saying that to boats the clear superiority of rock in that particular game. And the spires aren't exactly rocks, so...a name?

He blinks. ]

...Rapunzel. [ ... ] Nice to meet you.

[starblazes]

[She nods in response, though she doesn't smile.]

Yes. Nice to meet you, too.

[lettdown]

[ Her default expression is almost the same as his c: ]

.... [ He's not sure what else to say here now though, so after a moment of silence he'll lift the remaining bit of fish to his mouth and take another squishy bite. ]

[starblazes]

[She glances over when an unusual shape above catches her eye. It's one of the supply batches being dropped, and she watches it curiously as it... proceeds to land on top of a nearby spire.

Welp.]

[lettdown]

....? [ He catches the glance and follows her gaze on a whim...but hey look, it pays off. He sees the supply drop as well...and then realizes how high up it is. Wow is he so not going for that. Holy. ]

[starblazes]

[Rock considers the height of the spire, and the fish falling from the sky, then glances over at punz.]

I can get it.

[lettdown]

...You can??

[starblazes]

[Rock nods, looking very certain.]

It would be useful, right? [The supplies, that is. No more eating raw fish!]

[lettdown]

[ But the raw fish isn't so bad D: ]

...Yeah, probably. [ Nodnod. He's can't see it not having some use. ]

[starblazes]

[That's enough reason for her. She'll trot out from under their spire, breaking into a quick sprint to avoid most of the falling fish, though she doesn't go for the spire that the supplies are stuck on. She goes for one close to it, using it as a launching point to start bouncing upwards from spire to spire.]

[lettdown]

[ Holy--it's like watching Gil or Enkidu or something. It's not as if Rapunzel can't when he tries, but that height would cripple the heck out of him and she's just...fearless. Dang. ]

[starblazes]

[Up up up she goes, until she lands lightly on a small rocky ledge next to the supplies. Scooping them up she'll then carefully make her way back down, doing her best to avoid the falling fish.

And the she darts back under the spire, holding the parcel out.]

Here.

[lettdown]

[ Takes it mutely for a moment, looking between it and her...and then nodding, keenly. ]

...You're fast. And strong. [ APPROVAL. Rock is a Prince, he's decided now. ]
