ten paintings burned (and one girl lost)

[He awakes, and his head is still swimming with thoughts of useless inventions and painted roses and ferocious queens. It takes Garry a few seconds to realize that he's back in his room, and dressed in what seems to be a full suit of white armor which he definitely does not remember ever being in his wardrobe, ever.]

[But then he remembers riding a horse, and talking to people as if he knew the entire strange world on the back of his hand, and it all comes back. That...that dream was all real, wasn't it? And he had behaved as if he had lived there the entire time...]

[After checking his blue rose is alright, he heads right over to Rapunzel's room. Of course he would. She had been there too, and he couldn't wait to have an amusing conversation about how they both acted there, and how silly he looked in this armor of his, and how beautiful she was, no matter where they were, until he's realized that he's already in front of her room.]

[It's a blank door.]

[Oh, well...that's odd. He knocks, frowning slightly as he tries to understand what it meant. And he knocks again. And again. There's no answer, so he goes and opens the door because he's suddenly feeling the fear rise up in his chest like bile, and...]

[No. No no no no no. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.]

[...No, wait, this isn't what it looks like, this has got to be the wrong room, he thinks as he goes back into the hallway. He just chose one of the empty rooms by mistake, he probably wasn't thinking straight about the whole thing after his experience in Wonderland. Garry feels a nervous laugh bubble out of his throat. Hahaha, this was just a mistake on his part, silly old Garry, silly old him...]

[And after a few minutes of walking up and down the hallway, he sinks to the ground against the wall, his legs no longer feeling like they want to walk anymore. He's taken his journal with him, he realizes, and after a few seconds, he opens it, not even looking down to see what the rest of the castle is up to.He doesn't care about that. He doesn't care about anything right now, except...]
 

[The voice on the other end is unmistakably Garry's, but this time, it sounds broken. Hollow. An odd sort of state for someone who usually seems full of so much life.]


She's gone.

[There's a sharp intake of breath, and a few quiet mutters of "god god god this can't oh god", before there's another period of silence. And then he begins again, but with more difficulty this time:]

R-r-r-...she's left. Ra-rapunzel, she's no longer here...

[A shuddering sigh.]

Just wanted you to know.

[And with that, he's closed the book and thrown it harshly against the wall. People will find him sitting against the wall in the hallway, looking rather ridiculous dressed in his white armor, head buried in his hands.]

[Is he...sobbing?]

were you guys close?

[Because he doesn't really sound ok, and tbh she didn't even know they knew each other, I don't think.]
psych0p0mps: wide-eyed surprise (♈ madness takes its toll)

==> Action.

alright im coming

[And she is - not that she really knows what to do. Being comforting is not really her area of expertise. But she shows up from the stairs within a minute or two, nonetheless.]

Garry?
psych0p0mps: looking away, sad (♈ on the unforgiving land)

[personal profile] psych0p0mps 2013-02-27 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[That is without a doubt one of the saddest smiles she's ever seen. She tries to give him a real one in return, but can't quite get her mouth to turn upwards... failing that, she comes and sits down next to him.]

... What's with the armor?
psych0p0mps: shrugging apologetically (♈ do you think of a way)

[personal profile] psych0p0mps 2013-03-11 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aw, that's... kind of neat, actually. She pats him on the shoulder.]

I didn't know you were an inventor.
psych0p0mps: thinking with eyes closed and one hand on her chin (♈ in the morning when you rise)

Hmm. So the castle gave you a new ability, probably... That's weird. Normally it's more inclined to take stuff away.
psych0p0mps: covering her mouth in shock or disgust (♈ i've got to keep control)

[- OH SHIT, she just said that without even thinking. she claps a hand over her mouth.]

Sorry!
psych0p0mps: smiling gently (♈ spread the news)

['Cause... it literally just took Rapunzel away, that's all. Well, if he didn't notice, she's not going to press it.]

Ah... I guess that makes sense. But you still know how to make dresses, right? And those are things.
