31 [Video]

Good afternoon, Adstringendum!

[Rachel is outside today, wearing a red shirt and a blue skirt, with white leggings and blue shoes. To the majority of Adstringendum, it appears that she's just wearing what she always wears, but to those that are hip to Rachel's tremendous amount of jive, she's rather... patriotic today.

She adjusts the PCD quickly before nodding firmly to herself.]


I do believe that should do it... well! For those of you that are American, today is Independence Day! And while the majority of you are not even from ... well, Earth or anything resembling it, I thought it would be appropriate for those to celebrate it accordingly. And back home, when I celebrate it, my dads take me to the parade, in which I sing the National Anthem, and we celebrate by eating Tofutti and vegan dogs -- but that is entirely besides the point.

[DEEP BREATH.]

The point is that I would like, very much, to sing it for you, so you may enjoy it for the beautiful song that it is, and so we can all share something of an Independence Day -- even if you aren't from America or Earth or the universe that I reside in.

[aka she's not going to give you a choice, adoring public. But to her credit, at least she sings the anthem beautifully and without error. And when she is done, Rachel gives a winning smile, before giving a curtsy, and the feed is shut off.]

[He smiles and gives a brief applause.]

Very beautiful, Mademoiselle.

[Jesse refuses to dress as anything but his epic self, ty very much - and yet as she sings she might hear another voice singing with her. WHAT IT'S REQUIRED.]

Of course- Happy fourth of July, Rachel.

We must all sing praise to our autonomy. As a Luxembourgian citizen, I shall be the first to celebrate any country's rightful, political independence.

[A nod.]

The importance of national independence can't be exaggerated.

..We'll raise our glass to a country that created such fine music, musicals and artists such as you and me.

[video] but Enjolras is a revolutionary, Mireille doesn't like those :(

America has had the time and inclination to develop a multitude of traditions in regards to it, I imagine.

Never celebrated Independence Day before...though I'm hardly American.

[The accent totally gives him away.]

What's a...tofutti?

Perhaps. There are benefits to working for your freedom.

Pretty much - except now it's celebratory.

I suppose, but my family was never really into muggle holidays.

I'm not entirely sure what tofu is.

[HE EATS MEAT, OKAY RACHEL.]

Surely there must be speeches and military parades too? An official celebration of your nation's proud history?
