somethingspecial | 34 [Accidental Video] Forwarded to early morning.

[Rachel is sitting on the steps of Solve, outside, holding a beat up acoustic guitar. It is a little big for her -- as are most things in Adstringendum, save for the clothes that Kurt managed to hem and tailor for her to fit her small frame -- but she manages it well enough. She carefully picks through the strings, frowning as she tunes it, her head tilted to listen to each note carefully. Apparently, it isn't to her satisfaction -- Rachel looks displeased as she fiddles with the strings before, finally, she beams.]

Oh, finally -- now...

[Rachel frowns to herself in concentration as she tries to remember a certain chord, just to test out her tuning and stringing job. She strums the guitar gently, singing something softly to herself, before she picks a song, brow knit in focus as she plays. There are a couple mistakes -- Rachel is only a recent fan of classic rock, after all -- but she manages pretty well -- and just when she opens her mouth to sing the first verse of the song --

Snap.

Two strings snap and whip across Rachel's fingers, causing her to nearly drop the guitar in surprise as the ugly sound echoes. She immediately shakes out her hand, tears welling in her eyes at the cut, before she glares down at the guitar.]

That was unnecessary -- ow --

[And the PCD cuts off at Rachel shaking out her hand, blood dribbling down her fingers.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You should probably put a band-aid on that.

[Actually, she's here more for the hint of artistic talent. She misses Jane. She even misses Jane's paintings.]

Yes, I am very well aware --

[It's just a cut on her finger, nothing life threatening, and Rachel is busy putting pressure on it with her other hand. She's more upset over the lost guitar strings than her injured hand.]

You don't need to get snippy over it.

[This would be why she typically doesn't bother with her peers.]

I spent hours hunting down guitar strings and two of them just broke.

[She sounds irritated -- frustrated. And she sets aside the guitar to avoid getting blood on it. Priorities: Rachel Berry has them.]

You okay, Rachel? Need me to bring you a band-aid or something?

That would be great.

I'll be there in a few minutes.

I will not be moving, as I apparently am accident prone today.

Ah, Miss Rachel...! Are you alright?

No, my strings broke --

[This is a far bigger problem than her finger.]

[But Rachel there is BLOOD on your FINGERS-]

Miss Rachel, you're bleeding.

That tends to happen when taut strings go across flesh.

I only need a bandage and I will be fine.

[She is a trooper. 8(]

[Color Morgana curious]

Is that - a musical instrument?

-- yes. It's a guitar.

[Rachel is trying to salvage the strings, but -- no, they are ruined.]

A guitar? [she knits her eyebrows together. She looks timid, careful. In case Rachel still thinks she's deranged]

Are you alright?

I will be perfectly fine once I find replacement strings.

[Rachel doesn't seem nervous or scared -- in fact, she seems positively indignant. Mainly because it took so long to find workable strings and now they're ruined.]

Rachel? Are you all right?

Fine, yes, thank you --

And your instrument?

It will need new strings. Again.

You're bleeding.

[First aid kit get.]

... can it be fixed?

[She scowls to herself as she pulls at the strings.]

No, the strings are ruined. I will have to find replacements -- if they even exist.

[Her fingers do not even matter right now, Al. 8(]

[A couple of seconds later and he's out on the porch, settling down beside her.]

There's a music store in the mall, though I'm not sure if there will still be strings there.

[He takes out antiseptic and a wipe, and holds out his hand for hers.]

You should wash and bandage this immediately, Rachel-san.

Alphonse did it for me, Miss Unohana.
