This Place Needs a Mural {Rapunzel}

[Kori Ander]

Kori was covered from head to toe in what appeared to be every color of the rainbow. To be slightly more accurate, there were brilliant splotches of brilliant color scattered at various points along Kori's body. In some cases, it was clearly a matter of the paint dripping down, like the streaks on arms or the splatters across the chest. In other cases, it looked like nothing so much as Kori dragging her brush over some part of her body to test the color (which is precisely how it happened). There seemed to be a few other splashes that looked like paint had just exploded and landed upon Kori. Even Kori wasn't quite sure how those got there.

She took a step away from her project, which just happened to be nearly the entire wall stretching from dorm ten to dorm two. Weaving around the various rooms were what appeared to be a partially completed mural. There seemed to be rainbows and bright lights and what looked like smiling, happy people holding hands and possibly singing. There was also what looked for all the world like a giant caterpillar frolicking through a purple forest. Kori seemed especially proud of this.

"It does seem to be quite pleasant," she said, mostly to the air. She tilted her head this way and that, scrunching up her nose as she analyzed the various colors and bits. "I am not sure that it is good...."

She wiggled back and forth a few times, before reaching down, grabbing a paint brush from a can. She raised it, thought better, took a step back, and stared. What she really needed was a second pair of eyes, preferably from someone who was slightly less covered in paint, but who, perhaps, understood the joys that came with being in such a state.

[Rapunzel Corona]

Rapunzel had been up at the crack of dawn doing her chores around her dorm room. It seemed as though some habits were hard to break. But now, with everything cleaned and put back in it's proper spot she couldnt help but feel at a loss. Back in her tower she would amuse herself with all sorts of activities, but here, she didnt have to find ways to amuse herself. She had the world to explore, and no one to tell her no.

So, that's just what she set out to do. Explore. Seeing as how it was still early morning, she had plenty of time to braid her hair back up. Braiding that amount of hair took quite the time when it was just one soul doing the job. But, she was getting better at it, and quicker for that matter as well. Once she was done, she finished getting herself ready and headed out of the dorm, only to be amazed at the sight before her eyes. The walls were painted. Bright colors, and all over. Her eyes moved down the hall, her lips curving into a bright smile at the sight. The whole wall was done in a mural. A very fun imaginative mural. She had to find the artist.

It wasnt hard to find the artist of the mural. She stuck out pretty easily actually. Covered in paint from head to toe, with bright firey red hair. Rapunzel grinned and ran up to her excitedly. Did you paint this!? It's amazing! She couldnt hold back her excitement. She looked back to the mural in front of them and tilted her head to the side a bite. It needed something...

Rapunzel turned and looked back at the girl. May I? She motioned towards the paint brush.

[Kori Ander]

Kori's instincts took over and she turned as Rapunzel approached. This meant that the blonde was able to see the grinning, paint-smeared face first hand, and see the shining light behind the green eyes. Kori nodded at the question, answering it even before she opened her mouth: "Yes! I did the painting of the walls. They were most drab, and most definitely in need of several splashes of color."

She turned to look at them, her eyes quickly going over her work. The colors hit you just by looking at them, and Kori could practically feel their warmth washing over her. As Rapunzel spoke, however, Kori turned back to her. Their eyes met again, their glee likely feeding into each other. Again, Kori nodded. "Yes! Please do be picking up the brush! That is," she hesitated for a moment, looking as though she almost didn't want to say the words that were to come next, "that is if you are to add to it, and not do the harming of the face to it. I did the work and--"

And she wanted people to see it, especially her friends. Kori looked to the mural, her eyes searching the entire facade for a few moments before nodding. She bent over, scooped up a second brush, and offered both a paint brush and a smile.
