19 [Accidental Video]
[The video cuts on in the middle of Rachel brushing out her hair, watching herself in her mirror. There's a large macaw in the corner, which is the only sign of the event being in her room.
She doesn't seem focused on the PCD -- or the parrot -- but instead on her image in the mirror. Rachel sighs -- the humidity is causing her hair to be curlier and poofier than it normally is and the amount of moisture certainly isn't doing anything for her skin. A tug or two through and the brush makes it through her hair, but the girl looks less than satisfied.
Until Rachel cocks her head to the left and curls her fingers around the handle of her brush and begins to sing to herself, softly, at first, but the more she sings, the louder and more passionate it becomes:]
My mama told me when I was young, we're all born superstars. She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on, in the glass of her boudoir --
[A neat spin and Rachel is full out singing into her mirror -- and seems to be doing a dance, along with her song -- and it appears perfectly choreographed.]
There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are, she said, 'cause he made you perfect, babe, -- so hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far -- listen to me when I say -- !
[The brush is long since forgotten on the dresser, by this point, as she continues her dance.]
I'm beautiful in my way, 'cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way -- don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you're set, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way --
[The PCD times out soon after -- the network has apparently had enough diva for the time being.]

It's unimportant.

-=Pushes on=-
What if I think it's important?
Video
It's hardly important now.

-=Look. Guy taking interest. Guy says you important. Guy fails in communcating. Guy smash.=-

There. It's filtered, or we can speak in person.

I'm selfish. I'm not pretty -- and I'm never going to be the girl that he wants. I want things too much... Everything too much. I hate that the most, I think.
video//private//unhackable
....
I want things too much, too. -=A small smile=- But hey, you haven't lost an arm and a leg yet. So I think you're doing better than I am.
Re: video//private//unhackable
Everyone I've dated hasn't... I don't know. I suppose Noah thought I was, and Finn put up with me. Jesse...
[Every relationship she has ever had has broken her heart. She doesn't walk away from that without some scarring.]
video//private//unhackable
From what I know, if the guy can't handle a strong woman, he's not strong himself.
-=But she pauses on Jesse.=-
You think he does?
video//private//unhackable
[She doesn't know. He's Jesse -- her Jesse, the one who loved her and cherished her and told her she was special. But she can't speak for him.]
He's kind, now. Like he used to be. But I don't know.
[Quietly.]
video//private//unhackable
Back to sweet and kind so he can do something nasty to you again?
video//private//unhackable
[It's always a possibility; Rachel isn't stupid.]
But I believe he is sincere.
video//private//unhackable
Oh.
Re: video//private//unhackable
[She's expecting a reprimand.]
video//private//unhackable
-=He sounds.... a little disappointed.=-
As long as you know what can happen, the consequences, then I... hope it works out.
Re: video//private//unhackable
[Rachel seems very firm about this.]
I don't love him anymore.
video//private//unhackable
Strength in character.
Re: video//private//unhackable
video//private//unhackable
I was just saying... I don't see anything unsavory.
Re: video//private//unhackable
Thank you.
