[Did you hear that scream? If not, she's not sure how you missed it while her windows and door were wide open.

Frying pan in hand, she scrambles away from her angry adversary, fumbling to get her phone to call out to her fellow technologically-stunted acquaintance.

There's a terrible noise in the background as she puts out a mass call over the network for a single young man.]

Hiccup! Can you hear me? The sink, it... it's roaring at me-- no, growling! There must be a monster or something terrible living in it, and I don't know what to do, and it won't stop!

[That's right folks, Rapunzel has unfortunately discovered the garbage disposal. And who can be bothered to read the unopened mail on the counter when the sink immediately next to it has "come alive" and is on the offense?]

Yeah, I'm sure Hiccup can handle it.

Well, he braved the wall levers and the funny lanterns; I just thought he'd have a better idea of what to do.

Uhhh. Okay. Growling. In the ...sink? Uh.

[ checking his own sink. THIS LOOKS NON-MONSTERY. ]

Should I come over?

[Don't mind her having to talk over the terrible noise.]

That might be a good idea; it's not stopping.

Uhhh-- okay. Okay. Stay calm. Which house is yours?

South 202; uh, second floor right across from the stairwell if that helps any.

Oh, you're downstairs. Okay! Be right there. Just. Don't touch it.

[ you can time him he'll be there in 1 minute ]

I won't.

[Is the front door partially open for no good reason in particular? Yes, yes it is. Rapunzel hasn't been very good about closing it while she's home; she doesn't really see a reason why it should be closed then.

Should Hiccup venture in, he'll find her in the kitchen immediately to the left, standing about seven feet back from the sink, frying pan extended for safety's sake.]

A monster in your kitchen? Um.. are you okay?

For the moment! But it's not stopping and I don't know how to get it to stop. I-I mean, it must have been living in there before, but it has never growled!

Golly! It must be really, really upset!

...Did you try attacking it? Maybe it wants to hurt you!

[LE GASP.] Do you think?!

It looks to be in the pipes, so I can't exactly hit it...

Hm... Well... Maybe if you hit it with water! Maybe you can drown it? Oh... well since it's in the pipes maybe it can breathe underwater... Do you think it's just trapped and scared?

[...because she's done this before...]

It is more likely to be one of Midgard's numerous devices.

[Cause if it's a monster she'll be there to stab it, but having put her sword through one microwave...]

...What do you mean? The cold box doesn't put up an angry racket...

[Though it does hum pleasantly. The sudden and unexpected terrible noise is what has convinced Rapunzel that there's something else in the sink besides drains.]

Ah, please calm down. It's not a monster, and it cannot hurt you.

You must have simply turned on the garbage disposal. There should be a switch - much like the ones that turn on the lights - somewhere near the sink.

The garbage... what?

[All the same, she finally looks back at the wall; indeed, she had turned on a switch hoping for some more light in the kitchen, so that makes sense.]

So all I have to do is pull the lever back down and it will stop?

The garbage disposal. It's simply a machine, placed under the sink to shred food waste into small enough pieces that they won't clog the plumbing.

That's correct, just pull the lever and it should stop.

Edited 2013-08-26 02:22 (UTC)

Okay then...

[She sets the phone down and carefully makes her way to the wall, quickly flicking the switch with the extended reach of the frying pan. The noise whirrs to a stop, and there's a loud sigh of relief as she pads back to the mobile.]

It worked! Thank you so much.

But... um, don't people scrape their food from the plates before they wash them? I don't see why there ever needs to be something so horrible-sounding in the sink.

I'm not really sure, to be honest. It seems to be more of an American thing, I never use it myself.

Well, as long as you and your roommate are good about cleaning your plates, you probably never need to turn it on again.

In the sink? What the devil have you been putting down there?

Just water! And a bit of leftover soup broth no one was eating. But other than that, it's just been water from the funny, pump-less faucet.

Pumpless--.. [Bloody hell, that takes him back.]

Never mind. What were you doing when the noise started?

Well, I was trying to turn the ceiling lanterns on with the wall levers. But I think I got to close to the sink and upset the monster, so when I did, it started growling at me.

Oh good Lord. You turned on the sodding-- what is it America always...-- the garbage disposal.
