dissonates | [Action / Voice] backdated to the 25th (alternatively, any time last week)

[This week Asch had debated whether or not to deal with the ridiculousness of what happened at the hotel, but in the end went with his usual method of ignoring things until they died (or at least left him alone). Thus, he won't be speaking to anyone he tried to wed last weekend for as long as humanly possible. (Unless they bully him. Or they are Luke. Because he can't escape Luke.)

He's also slacked off a lot in his responsibilities at the bar this week, in part due to excessive sharing with a certain vampire slayer (more than he's used to, anyway) but mostly because he's had very good reason to hang around at the bakery instead. Reason being a particularly long-haired young lady.

And said young lady is the purpose of his journal usage today.]

[Locked from Rapunzel | Voice]

Hey, I've got a question for Rapunzel's friends. Her birthday is coming up, and she's had lanterns in the sky every year on that day. It's easy to tell that she's upset about it not happening here, too.

Is this something we can change? Does anyone know how to make paper lanterns? I've never done it before, but I can't just let it go like this. We'd need a lot of them.

[He just wants to make her smile, okay.

And he'll continue to be a bit of a sap when it comes to Rapunzel until the whole experiment inevitably wears off by the end of the day, which is good because by then people are probably going to be very very sick of him. |D]

I'm... actually not sure. All I know is that there's a sun motif.

[Of course there would be a sun. The girl is her own light source.]

I'll try a few things. It's fire inside? Or glowing rocks?

From what I understand, an oil-soaked wick is suspended inside a paper covering. The oil is lit and the light shines through the paper. The fire inside also keeps it floating.

[Noooo he hasn't been reading about it this week or anything.]

The fire makes it float.

[This is the voice of someone who is very skeptical of your thinking.]

...I'll try.

[Don't question the book he was inevitably quoting...!]

If it doesn't work, we can figure something else out. I'm still looking into it.

[Made of paper on the outside, a wick on the inside, has to float, sun motif...

Yeah, this is going to take some test runs.]

When is it? The day.

It's- [Oh shit he should check the actual or something-] The 5th of March, according to this world's calendar. So just over a week.

[This world's calendar. A kindred spirit at last.]

Okay. [No, wait. She remembers him, now. Which is going to lead to some awkward questions.] Do you want to...mmh. [To see it when she's finished but the Asch she met once is blind.]
