[Texting? It's a bit beyond her abilities, considering typing mechanisms of any sort weren't exactly available in her tower. Not to mention that typing feels doubly unnatural with the alphabet all out of order and spaced strangely. Initially, the other two options aren't much better for her, and it takes some fiddling around before she gets the audio function to turn on.]

Um... hello? Am I doing this right? Can anyone hear me?

[Well, assuming she's using it correctly, here goes nothing.]

My name is Rapunzel, and while I'm sure that gigantic, talking, magic-living-statue person meant well, I really, really can't stay long. You see, I have a very important thing I recently set off to do, and if I don't go right back to take care of it, I may never have a chance to again... [She mumbles the rest of the sentence.] and I've kind of been waiting my whole life for it. [Ahem.] So, if anyone would be so kind to tell me how I could possibly return home, I'd be really appreciative.

[There's a small moment of thoughtful silence.]

But before I forget, by any chance, did someone by the name of Euge-- um, Flynn Rider get here before me? I know it might be a bit of a stretch, but I thought it might be a good idea to check.

[In all honesty, Rapunzel would be relieved to see a familiar face in this strange, enormous, intimidating world. That said, if there is some sort of hidden way back home, she'd need to make sure Flynn could return with her.]

Okay, I think that's everything I wanted to ask about.

...And I really do hope this strange thing is actually working and that I haven't been talking to myself this entire time.

I...

[ he rubs the back of his neck. it's not his FAVORITE place. ]

I have a friend over here. And I help him out, I guess.

[ like Knock Out really needs his help. ]

That's a reason good as any. Actually, it's a really good reason.

[Aw, that's so sweet that he's that dedicated to his friend. Admirable, really.]

Just don't tell him. He's really awkward with this stuff.

Well, I don't really know who "he" is, so that won't be a problem.

Not that I'd tell anyways. I'm good with secrets.

Oh you'll probably meet him. [ hint: already have! ]

Anyway! I'm Sora.

[She might be able to put two and two together soon enough!]

What does he look like? I can keep an eye out then.

[Very soon.]

It's very nice to meet you, Sora.

His alt form is a red race car. So as a robot he's got a lot of red and plenty of white, a set of his wheels resting on his back. Really all about how he looks. I mean I swear this guy stares at a mirror and makes kissy faces at himself for like an hour or two.

But yeah. Nice to meet you too!

[Alt form? Race car? It's all Greek to her, even though she'll just smile and badly pretend like she has some clue as to what those are.]

I'll keep a look out, then. Someone like that can't be too hard to spot.

[Right?]

Just don't tell him that I said anything...

Knock Out has this thing about his reputation.

Don't worry, I won't.

Though I guess a reputation is all some people have, huh?

[At least, Eugene made it sound that way.]

Maybe!

But you know, I think it's just because he doesn't know better. So if people show him that being nice and stuff is actually a good thing, he'll come around.

I can't imagine anyone thinking being "nice" could be a bad thing. Well, unless they're truly evil, but I don't think there's too many of those people out there in the world. I mean, I met a whole room full of ruffians and thugs, and even they showed they could be nice.

So I'm sure you'll be able to reach through to him. And if there's anything I can do to help you with that, let me know, okay? It's kind of the least I can do for you helping me.

I don't think that there are too many evil people out there... One of the most wicked persons I've met was even able to do something good when it was needed. So... I dunno. Maybe all anyone needs is a chance.

[ at least that's what Sora thinks. who knows. ]

Pffft. I didn't really do anything to help you, though. But if I can do something, anything, let me know, okay? Never hurts to have a few friends, right?

I think that makes sense, so I think that you're probably right.

[After all, the ruffians did good, Eugene did good... and all because they had a chance to.]

The warm welcome is more help than you realize, then. [This world looks to be hard and cold, but if there's people like Sora, then maybe living here won't be so bad.]

Right! And thanks for that, too. It's nice to know there's people here I can depend on.
