[vigilantics]

[ uHHHHH ]

Oh so they... found her quickly then.

[alchemenace]

Is eighteen years quick?

[ because. like. yeah. ]

[vigilantics]

But she is eighteen!

[alchemenace]

19. [ wait. no she isn't yet according to her memories/timeline ] I mean, um, almost nineteen.

[vigilantics]

[ varian get your cover story together smh ]

Oh my god?

[alchemenace]

[ whatever it was like a week off so she probably is nineteen now! ]

Yeah I suppose when you haven't heard the story your whole life it is kind of a big deal.

[vigilantics]

So I guess you guys met after she was found then?

[alchemenace]

Yep. Fun fact, she came by Old Corona because she thought I was a wizard. Common mistake back home, but it usually does not bring royalty to my door.

[vigilantics]

You must be so excited for all of those wizard visits.

[ no ]

[alchemenace]

... No. Not really.

[ the rumors that he's a wizard aren't friendly but ofc he won't say that out loud ]

[vigilantics]

Why did she need a wizard anyway?

[ why is this such a stereotype ]

[alchemenace]

Magic hair issues.

[vigilantics]

Ah, of course. Magic hair. That explains all seventy feet of it.

[alchemenace]

It is very, very... long. But that's not all it can do. Outside of this place, it's also virtually indestructible.

[vigilantics]

[ what ]

You mean that she somehow doesn't get split ends?

[alchemenace]

[ well that's just a lack of imagination steph ]

... I mean virtually indestructible? It can't be cut, broken or anything.

[vigilantics]

[ listen, steph has been wondering this entire time how the fuck rapunzel has been taking care of all that hair. ]

That's... huh. No wonder it's so long.

[alchemenace]

[ Varian decides not to mention that the ability to cut is a new development ]

Yes. It is very... long.

[vigilantics]

How hasn't her neck snapped...?

[alchemenace]

I believe it's something to do with the-- [ wait ] why are we talking about this.

[ HOW DID THEY GET HERE ]

[vigilantics]

I... don't know?

[ someone died ]

[alchemenace]

I don't think sleep deprivation is doing us any favors.

[ they're so fucked tomorrow ]

[vigilantics]

Did you tell anyone about that?

[ she... has not. ]

[alchemenace]

No.

[ said like the sheer idea of it is Ludicrous ]

Have you?

[vigilantics]

God, no. They already fuss enough.

[ imagine how much worse it would be if they Knew ]
