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.]

At least you don't have the Animus in Ohio. [Or Lucifer?] That makes it quite an appealing place to me right now.

...You mean the other members of that choir called "Glee Club", right?

What about your family?

Your dads, as in plural?

...Just how many fathers do people have in the world you're from?

Oh. I see. [It's not very common in Raven's world but she personally doesn't see anything wrong with homosexuality so.] But surely you do have a mother too. Doesn't she live with you too?

[Raven notices and she figures her question was maybe a bit too personal.] I didn't grow up with any of my parents. [She offers this quietly.] But having a team of good... friends makes up for it pretty well.

I know what you mean. [She considers her teammates as her family too.]

[A nod.] I consider my teammates as family too.

Well it's the only one I've ever had so... But they're quite alright.

Sometimes I'd rather I were one. [Make it "every day" and you'll be closer to the truth.]
