17 [Accidental Voice]

[somethingspecial]

[Twelve Midnight.]

Is this a -- ?

[A dozen beeps -- whoever has the PCD is pressing an assortment of buttons.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? Mercedes? -- has she not set up her voicemail, this is ridiculous --

[Another series of buttons.]

Kurt? Hello, it's Rachel, I need someone to come pick me up -- is there no service? --

[A much longer pause, before the girl dials another series of numbers.]

... Finn?

[As if she would rather utter any other name and, this time, her voice trembles slightly.]

I really need someone to come pick me up, I think I've been kidnapped --

[But when no one answers, three buttons are pressed.]

Hello? -- even without service, 911 should work, what is this -- I told Dad I should have switched to Verizon --

[And then, the PCD clicks off.]

... how?

[exarmatio]

I'm a mage.

[Patiently. He's used to explaining this now.]

[Video]

[somethingspecial]

... a mage? Like Harry Potter?

[Video]

[exarmatio]

He's a wizard, but yes, it's more or less the same thing. He's here, too.

[Video]

[somethingspecial]

... Harry Potter is here?

[Video]

[exarmatio]

Mhm. And a few others, too.

[Video]

[somethingspecial]

... Harry Potter is fake, Negi.

[fskdjfsa PUTTING ON A FILTER SO FAST.]

M-Miss Rachel, please be careful of what you say... Some of the people in this place are fictional in someone else's world, but they don't know that themselves. A few of us do, only because of an event, but for those that don't...

[Private//Unhackable]

[somethingspecial]

This is absurd.

Negi, you have just told me Harry Potter is real, and I have just met a character from the seminal Broadway classic, Les Miserables.

[Private//Unhackable]

[exarmatio]

... Yes. And we had a unicorn here once, and Sherlock Holmes, too.

I know it's hard to comprehend, but... It's the truth of this place. It's many worlds, both real and fictional, combined into one place.

[Private//Unhackable]

[somethingspecial]

This is completely absurd.

[Private//Unhackable]

[exarmatio]

It is. But I assure you, I'm just as flesh and blood as Kurt. We live here and survive here and love here just the same as anywhere else.

[Private//Unhackable]

[somethingspecial]

... of course, but -- Negi, Grantaire is here.

[Private//Unhackable] ahaha autocorrect

[exarmatio]

... eeh? Who is that?

[Private//Unhackable] <3

[somethingspecial]

He's a member of Les Amis d'ABC! Of Les Miserables! The Broadway musical!

[Private//Unhackable]

[exarmatio]

O-oh! I've heard that!

[Private//Unhackable]

[somethingspecial]

I should hope so.

[Private//Unhackable]

[exarmatio]

W-well, you got after me the last time for not having seen a lot of musicals.

[Private//Unhackable]

[somethingspecial]

As I rightly should have. To not know Les Miserables is a sin.

[Private//Unhackable]

[exarmatio]

Ah... y-yeah...

[He's... really only heard of it.]
