[It's strange. You can't quite put your finger on it, but there's something different about today. Not only might you feel different but your families, your friends, practically everything is different.

Can you remember a moment more peculiar than this? Actually...

What do you remember?]

[outforrevenge]

But I have something to do, and I can't be back here!

[Her tone wavers between angry and despairing.]

It hurts too much!

[crazyclownwoman]

Like I said, time freezes. You'll have lots of time.

[Notes the tone though.]

Hey. Why don't you tell me about it. Maybe that'll help you feel better?

[outforrevenge]

But I'm still not doing it, and if I'm not...

I don't know what to do with myself.

[She pauses for a long time at Harley's offer. No other human knows about all her mistakes and all her plans. And yet... The relief of having it off her chest is so tempting.]

You'll think I'm a monster.

[crazyclownwoman]

I won't.

[Said simply, but truthfully.]

Come on. Let's find a nice place to sit and you can tell me all about it.

[outforrevenge]

...Okay.

Thank you.

[crazyclownwoman]

No problem. How about some place in the park. It's really nice today. We can sit on a bench or go on the grass, or sit in a tree if we want!

[outforrevenge]

A tree would be nice...

[crazyclownwoman]

To a tree it is!

[And off to the park, where they can find a nice tree to climb up and get comfortable.]

Alrighty then. Why don't you tell me what happened?

[outforrevenge]

Well, when I went home.... When I didn't remember anythiing...

There was this man. Eugene.

[She starts choking up as soon as she says his name, which also seems to break down her guard. Soon her whole story's spilling out.]

I loved him. I really did. I still do! But he... He died, he died and it was my mother's fault, and I killed them, I didn't mean to, but I did, and I couldn't even save Eugene-- [She takes a deep, shaky breath.] --So I had to get the king and queen, because it's their fault, too, but now I'm here and I remember all these other people, all these other feelings, and I...

I don't know what to do.

[crazyclownwoman]

Oh sweetie...that's horrible.

[:c. Well she's a hero, she's supposed to help people. Though it's probably going to be her psych training that comes into play here more.]

Well then. First of all. Killing someone by accident isn't the same things as being a monster. Trust me, I've meet quite a few in my day.

Now then, you're trapped here for the moment. But you don't have to see it as that. Think of it as a chance for you to think things over and get your life back together. I'm actually trained as a psychiatrist. I can help you if you'd like.

[outforrevenge]

It really was an accident.

[She sighs and stares down at her hands, folded in her lap.]

I just feel like I should do something. Even here... Can you really help?

[crazyclownwoman]

I'll do my best. I promise.

And you can do something here. Get things sorted out. That way when you go back home, you'll know what you want to do, and avoid any more accidents or confusion.

[outforrevenge]

...Thank you. I'll try. I'll try to be... Helpable.

I don't want any more accidents.

[crazyclownwoman]

You're doing great already.

Now, why don't you tell me a little about yourself. My name's Harley Quinn. But call me Harley. Everyone does!

[outforrevenge]

Thank you, Harley. I... I'm Rapunzel. I lived in a tower with just my mother and a chameleon for eighteen years. [That. Seems notable, right?] I live at 917 Bilko Boulevard, but I don't think I want to live there any more.

[crazyclownwoman]

[Just a little strange....but that last bit.]

Why not?

[outforrevenge]

The man I lived with there... I used to really care about him, a-and I'm scared that I'll start to again...

That wouldn't be fair to Eugene.

[crazyclownwoman]

Hmm...well you have to be there for a while at least once every three days. But if you want you can stay at my house. We've got a spare bedroom. My fake husband is a giant robot so he doesn't need one.

[outforrevenge]

Oh, Harley, that sounds wonderful! I'll go there when he works. Yes.

[A beat.]

A giant robot?

[crazyclownwoman]

Yeah. It's kinda weird, but you get used to it. He's a nice guy.

[outforrevenge]

That's... Good.

Yes, very good.

[crazyclownwoman]

I'm at 1249 Williams Road. I can show you it now. I mean it's pretty much like every other house, but I've been here for a while, so it kinda isn't.

[Jumps down from the tree.]

But first, I think we need ice cream.

[outforrevenge]

...Huh?

[But then Harley's out of the tree. Rapunzel loops her hair around the branch she's sat on, lowers herself to the ground, and then pulls down her hair.]

Ice cream sounds nice.

[crazyclownwoman]

It always is.

[Waits for her before starting off towards the diner.]

Hey, do you like animals? You mentioned a chameleon.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I do, yeah. Pascal was my best friend.
