Daily Discussions

Do you have a question?

Ah, Player. Tell me: What do you think of my daughter, Rapunzel? →  I'm her friend. A "friend." How sweet. Let me make one thing perfectly clear, "friend": →  She's part of the Village. I see. How civic-minded of you. The happy leader of a happy little Village of happy, simple people. Well, let me make one thing perfectly clear... →  She wears her heart on her sleeve. You're not wrong. It seems we share an ability to read people. Perhaps we might even work together. However, let me make one thing perfectly clear... ...If you hurt a hair on her head I will take you apart piece by piece. You have no idea what I've done to protect her. Do we understand each other? →  Yes. I'm so glad. →  No. Be careful, Player. You don't want to upset me. Bad things tend to happen to people who upset me. →  You're awful. Oh, now let's not be churlish, dear. It's very unbecoming.

You look worried.

Player! Did I see a gray hair in my reflection? Look at my hair. Is any of it gray?! →   No gray hairs. Oh, what a relief! One must be very careful about one's appearance, you know. →  You look great! That's kind of you to say. Of course it's true, but it's still sweet of you to say it. →  How old are you? Didn't anyone ever teach you that it's impolite to ask a woman's age? And I know you'd never be impolite to me. Isn't that right, dear? →  I see a wrinkle. AHHHH! NO! MY BEAUTIFUL SKIN! →   I see one gray hair. Grrr... I must find Rapunzel quickly. If only she cared about her poor, dear mother. →  You're such a good mother. I am, aren't I? Why ever would Rapunzel run away? She's terribly ungrateful. →  You only want her hair. What a horrid thing to say! I love my daughter. It's the cruelty of the world that wants to take advantage of her gift. →   Lots of gray hairs! No. NO! I'm becoming old and withered! →  You look fine. Do I? Well. Perhaps for now. But this is just the start. After the gray comes the wrinkles. I will NOT lose my youthfulness! →  There's nothing wrong with getting old. Ha! You're almost as deluded as my daughter. When you're old, the world discards you. You become... irrelevant. I WILL stay young, no matter the cost! →  Yep. So cruel. When YOU are old, I hope YOU have an unfeeling reprobate who taunts you with it.

Do you need any advice?

Ah. Player. Just who I wanted to see. I'm trying to come up with more dangers I can tell Rapunzel about. I've done poison ivy, quicksand, bears, spiders, and large spiders. What other terrifying things can you think of? →  You shouldn't scare Rapunzel. All I'm trying to do is keep her safe! Sometimes she has to be a little terrified to be safe. That's just how it is when you have children. →  Men with pointy teeth. I actually already have that one. But it's a good one. Points for effort. →  Hippos. Interesting. I've heard about those animals. They're kind of cute, but also extremely dangerous. I like it. It will make Rapunzel scared of cute things.

You seem to have a lot on your mind.

Player, good. Let's talk through a purely hypothetical situation. If you were, say, tracking your wayward daughter through the forest... How would you convince her to come home? →  Ask her nicely. Yes, I'll just ask her politely to stop acting out and sit in her tower like a good girl. You've obviously never met a teenager. →  Trick her. Well, of course that's my instinct as well. I'm glad you agree, Player. →  Let her go. Never! Rapunzel belongs with me, and NOTHING will ever change that.

You look upset.

I've been criticized for how I treated Rapunzel, but you must understand... ...it was all for her own good! She really was far too naive. The dangers of the outside world would have destroyed her! →  I don't think that's true. If you were her mother, you would know better than to say such things. No one loves her like I do. Or cared for her like I did. →  Right. It has nothing to do with the fact that you needed her hair. Needed her hair? What on earth are you talking about? What an absurd concept. Needing hair. What does that even mean? Let's pretend you didn't say it and never talk about this again. →  Is it possible she was naive because she grew up in a tower? Now don't come at me with that silly logic of yours. It wasn't her upbringing. It was her nature. She was too soft. A delicate flower.

You look like you have a question.

Tell me, what do you think magic is, Player? →  Power. Oh, you couldn't be more wrong. →  Cheap trickery. Ha! That skepticism will serve you well. But you're wrong. →  I'm not sure. Well, at least you're willing to admit your ignorance. Magic is simply an advantage. A tool to be utilized to meet one's goals. →  That's very cynical. Perhaps to you. To me, it's merely practical. →  That's very practical. Perhaps to you. To me, it's merely practical. →  I believe there's more to magic than that. And people will use that belief to take advantage of you.

Do you never tire of looking at yourself?

Ahh, I never tire of looking at my cheekbones. High cheekbones are universally attractive, and mine are particularly fine. Good bone structure is the foundation of beauty. →  That's kind of creepy. Only for those who don't share it, dear. →  I imagine you like that because it doesn't fade with age. Very insightful. Now be a dear and never speak to me of age again. →  Beauty comes from the inside. People say that, but they never mean it.

Anything you need?

Player, you have my attention. Shall I give you some motherly advice? →  Okay! Oh, it's so nice to have someone appreciate my kindness! Unlike some ungrateful children who will remain unnamed. →  You're not my mother. True, but I give very good advice. →  Your advice is kind of toxic. Toxic! Oh, I'm wounded, Player! I come to you offering nothing but support, and you insult me. player sigh* Fine. Give me some advice. What would you like advice about, dear? →  Life. Well, life is a race, Player. If you're not winning, you're losing. And most people are forever losing. You must make sure you win -- always. →  Romance. Oh my advice about romance is simple... Don't. It's never worth it. You can only depend on yourself. →  Reasons I shouldn't leave my tower. I see. Now you're the one teasing me. I'll remember that.

Something bothering you?

Have you seen that absurd stall in the Meadow? Run by... who is it... Doofy? The selection is so paltry. →  What do you mean? The wares are nothing but bland, common items. →  I like Goofy's Stall. And I'm sure it's fine if you need something common, such as apples. →  Excuse me. His name is Goofy. Whoever he is, he has an inexcusably sparse stock. It's completely useless if you're in need of more... unique... ingredients. →  Like what? Well, as a purely theoretical example... A youth serum. Or parsnips. →  Are you gonna brew evil potions? Evil potions? Never. Perish the thought. And don't ever confuse me with Ursula again. →  You could talk to Goofy about it. I've spoken to that... individual. I fear that whatever changes he attempts to make will be less than inspiring.

What's wrong?

Player, I'm feeling a bit run-down. Unappreciated. Alone. Say something to make me feel better. →  Your hair is so dark and glossy. I've often thought it's one of my best features. →  Your dress sense is on point. It is, isn't it? This is velvet, you know. →  You're capable and cunning. Mmm. That's true, I am. Go on. There must be more. →  You're absolutely ruthless. I'll assume you meant that as a compliment. Ahh, I feel much better now. Thank you, dear. →  You're a strong, independent woman. I am, aren't I? Ahh, I feel much better now. Thank you, dear. →  Your skin has very few wrinkles! Correction, dear -- my skin has NO wrinkles. Clearly, your eyesight leaves something to be desired.

You know so many things.

Player, I feel that I must share a bit of my knowledge of the world, so you have a chance to survive out here on your own... Now, you must have noticed the flowers growing around the Village. So beautiful and majestic... like me! Ha-ha-ha! →  I love flowers! Of course you do. After all, who doesn't? You must remember that every part of the Valley is home to one or two specific types of flowers... →  What about them? Well, I know how children are, so I feel it needs to be said... Try not to eat them. It wouldn't be good for you. Also... You must remember that every part of the Valley is home to one or two specific types of flowers... →  Ugh, flowers... Player, you really don't have an eye for beauty, do you? Oh well, not everyone can appreciate the finer things. Still, you should remember that every part of the Valley is home to one or two specific types of flowers... [random response from the following options] In the Plaza, you'll find Dandelions, a common, charmless weed that reminds me a little of you! Ha-ha, only kidding, dear. But also Penstemons of many colors. If you want Rising Penstemons or Daisies, you'll have to go to the Meadow. Some flowers even grow on the sand of Dazzle Beach. Hydrangeas and Sunflowers to be exact. If ever you need Bell Flowers or Star Lilies, look under the trees in the Forest of Valor. For example, if you visit my beloved Glade, you'll find all sorts of Marsh Milkweed. White, orange, purple, blue... Almost a rainbow of them. But only one type of flower grows in the Frosted Heights -- the Passion Lily. Though it does come in many colors. Bromeliads and Houseleeks grow only on the Sunlit Plateau. If you feel brave enough to explore the Forgotten Lands, you can gather Impatiens and Nasturtiums. Appropriately named flowers for that ugly place, if you ask me.

I love taking care of the Valley.

Ah, Player... It's occurred to me that only you and I have the interests of this Valley at heart; don't you agree? →  Yes, I do. Finally, someone who listens to me! →  What makes you think that? Well, just look around... →  I think everyone cares for the Valley in their own way. Perhaps, but how many of them have proof to support their claims? Few or none, I'm sure. They're all living in their grand Houses, only caring for themselves and their personal whims. Unlike me. Why, I've truly dedicated myself to tending to the Giant Willow. →  I love the Giant Willow! Then maybe YOU ought to live in it! Ha-ha! Only kidding, dear. Don't look so serious. After all, I was the one who helped you grow that Giant Willow in the first place, you know. →  Why do you look after it? Because someone needs to! Plants are like children. They require constant care if you don't want them to grow up spoiled. I was the one who helped you make sure the tree would grow strong and tall. So... of course, I stayed to watch over it. →  You can always stop, you know... Then there would be no one to care for the willow I helped you grow. No, Player. I must stay where I am. And that is proof that only you and I care about what's best for our Valley.

Observed Conversations

General

With The Beast

...did she use plants? A potion? sigh* A wand. Blast! That does me no good! I don't understand. Of course you don't, dear. Why would you?

With Hades

Yes, it's me, the myth, the legend— Hades. I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yeesh. Anyone ever tell you you're about as charming as Medusa? Well, if she's a sophisticated, strong, confident, beautiful woman, then I accept the compliment.

With Jack Skellington

Tell me, madam... What sort of things do you find most frightening? Oh, you silly skeleton! Why would I ever tell you that? It's my job. My vocation. You might even say it's my calling! But that doesn't mean I have to tell you. Usually, I have a sense for these things... Does it involve... a fear of aging...? *gasp* ... Oh... um... don't be ridiculous, dear. Why would I fear that when I'm doing it so beautifully?!

With Merlin

Merlin, as a wizard, I assume you have great power, hmm? Well, I... uh... I certainly have skills based on years of magical study. Then you really must tell me, what is your secret to— Guiding others? Imparting wisdom? ...to looking so old? Ha-ha, I'm just teasing! Ahem. Madam, I see no value in furthering this conversation. Good day.

With Minnie Mouse

Excuse me, Miss Gothel? Hm? Yes, dear? I was making some new bows, and I had some lovely dark red fabric... So I made this one, and I thought it would match your dress. Would you like it? ...Well, it is rather fashionable, and I see you've sewn it with a backstitch. I'll consider wearing it as a favor to you. Oh... well, here you go. (I suppose that's "villain" for "thank you.")

With Ursula

Secret to Smooth Skin Gothel... do you use any sort of potion on your skin? Potion? Goodness no. Why do you ask? Your face is so smooth and your color's so... healthy. Oh, you flatterer. I'll tell you my secret. Parenting. Having children keeps you young. "Vanessa" *gasp* Ursula! You look so... different. Close your mouth, dearie. I know you're jealous. Jealous? Ha! Don't be ridiculous. I'm merely impressed by your powers of transformation. And I bet you're just dying to know how I did it, aren't you? Well, I do admit I'm curious. That's what I like to hear. Why don't we discuss terms for a little trade?

Quests

With Ursula ( Secrets & Schemes)

Did you find that last batch of potions to your liking, dear? They worked like a dream. I'm quite grateful. Now if only there was a way to get rid of the biggest pest of all around here. That pompous, blustering windbag... You must be referring to that insufferable know-it-all– You guessed it – MERLIN! Ah well, a girl can only dream. Talk soon, my dear!

With Olaf ( A Place for Joy)

Hello, Mother Gothel! We've got a very special gift for you. ... Raw fish?! Why would you possibly want to give me raw fish? ... Because I thought you'd like them. Did you know that salmon change color and have an excellent sense of smell?! How nice for them. Now, run along and stop pestering me with useless nonsense.

With Beast ( The Crown or the Claw)

Well, well, if it isn't the overgrown kitten! Grrrr... does that mean you'd like to see my claws? Oh, don't be ridiculous. You're not going to do anything to me. Think of what people might say. Think of what your darling Belle might say! Don't you dare say her name! How feisty! Someone's in a tizzy over unrequited love. ROARRRR!!!* Yes dear, yowl away. I'm sure that will make her come running.

With Vanellope ( Boss Up)

Prepare to greet candy-coated destruction, WITCH! Reveal your ODIOUS FINAL FORM! Oh, you can't possibly be talking to me. Your manners are deplorable, dear. You... aren't going to throw lightning or fire at me? Nothing?! You're just a vain old lady who lives in a tree...? I'm kinda sad for you. Old? OLD?! How dare you! This conversation is OVER!

With Stitch ( Bon Appétit, Stitch!)

Aloha! Hm? Oh. It's the little blue furball. Why are you bothering me? Stitch bring gift. Oh, what a charmless little confection. What is this for? Stitch read in storybook that mean old witches who live in trees like gingerbread houses. Why I— How dare you, you little troll! You not like gift? Saka... Get out of my sight before I... before I... ...put Stitch in a big pot and eat me?! Naga bootifa! UGH!

With Scar ( Curious About Critters)

Are you certain now is a good time for this? You're looking a bit... peaked. Peaked. Oh relax; I'm just teasing. You really do take things far too seriously, you know. If you're not interested... Wait... I admit you caught my interest. I even started a little something of my own. AHEM. The wilted flower, the wilted life, as time moves forward, I'm filled with strife. Terrible tempo. And rather derivative, no? Derivative?! Sorry, I'm feeling too "peaked" to be constructive in my critiques.

With Rapunzel ( Glowing Up)

What's this? An Eternal Sundrop Charm? How... charming. Thank you, dear. You can go. Um... Mother? I've been thinking— Thinking someone as lovely as me doesn't NEED a charm? Tell me more, darling. I want to say that I can't— Can't believe I've forgiven your for breaking all my rules and betraying my trust? That's not it— I just— I want— ... I mean, I DON'T want— Speak up, Rapunzel. Stop mumbling. You know how I hate the mumbling. I... I... I don't want to see you anymore! ... Unless it has nothing to do with my magic. Oh? Aren't we independent? Very well... Go and have your fun. But you'll come crying to Mother soon enough.

With Hades ( Yes, Your Lugubriousness)

Welcome to Scrooge's Store, currently under new management! No need for chatter. I require a new crimson silk gown. And none of that low-end imitation fabric.. Oh, unfortunately I think we're out of crimson silk. But can I interest you in— No. If I wanted something else I'd ask for it. We have many other valuable— Never mind. If you can't help me, you can't. Ta-ta! ARRRGHHHH!!!
