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.]

Rachel...!

[video] <3

[somethingspecial]

[Blink.]

Hello?

[video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

You've returned.

It is... I am glad to see you once more.

[video]

[somethingspecial]

So I'm told. A good deal of people here seem to know who I am, but I have absolutely no idea where I am and no memories of this place before.

It's like a modern fairy tale.

[Or a nightmare.]

[It takes that a few moments to sink in.]

...You don't remember me, then, do you?

[video]

[somethingspecial]

[A blink, before she sobers slightly.]

No... I do not.

I'm sorry, I don't seem to remember anyone here.

Re: [video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[A few moments, before he responds again.]

I suppose that I should re-introduce myself again, then. The last time you were here... We were friends.

My name is Arthur Pendragon. Before you ask again, yes, that Arthur.

[video]

[somethingspecial]

Then I'm... very sorry I don't remember you, Arthur -- Pen -- wait, you --

[But then, she laughs, because Arthur beats her to the punch.]

That Arthur. I see.

[video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

[He just smiles a bit of that.]

Even if you don't remember me, I'm nonetheless glad to see you again. If we have to re-establish our friendship, so be it.

[video]

[somethingspecial]

I'm certain that won't be difficult.

[A genuine smile, this time.]

It's nice to see a friendly face in a strange place.

[video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

To call this place strange would be an understatement.

[Another smile, and he chuckles.]

Edward is getting you, right?

[video]

[somethingspecial]

He is, yes. I'll be wherever... I lived before, I guess, shortly. Kurt is there, as is Blaine.

[video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

Good. I know where that is. Is it fine if I visit you?

[video]

[somethingspecial]

Oh -- certainly, that's fine.

[He's a friend, so... Rachel supposes that's okay. Edward didn't kill her, so.]

[video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

Good. Tomorrow, then? I'll give you some time to settle in again.

[video]

[somethingspecial]

Certainly.

Maybe meeting you in person will help my memory...?

[video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope so.

[video]

[somethingspecial]

Well -- either way, I would love to meet you in person, anyway. A friend is a friend, right?

Re: [video]

[kingoftheround.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[He's a little bothered by Rachel not remembering him, but in the end? He's just happy she's back.]

Would noon be fine?

[video]

[somethingspecial]

[Don't worry, Arthur, she'll remember bits and pieces soon enough. Jogging her memory will do wonders.

She's still convinced this is some kind of weird dream, but she'll smile all the same.]

I wake up at six AM every morning. Noon is fine.
