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.]

[Private//Unhackable]
What are you doing?!
[Private//Unhackable]
-=Yeah, you can't see Negi, Rachel. Ed has him pinned. He's looking down at Negi.=-
What the hell are you doing?! I thought I was making good enough progr-- SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE BURDENED WITH THIS!
[Private//Unhackable]
I-I-I'm sorry...! I-I didn't mean-- I-I just wanted to--
[Private//Unhackable]
That Negi was talking about --
Jesse.
Cue bright red Rachel Berry.]
I'm -- I'll just let you sort that out.
[HANGING UP NOW. D8]

-=Then he deflates somewhat, standing up and getting off of the teen.=-

... I-I'm sorry...

He's going to follow. Because he can't allow himself to just let things sit and fester.]
Edward, wait, please--

....
-=If Ed ignores him, maybe he'll go away.=-
[Offline]
Please... I didn't mean... I wasn't trying to tell her...!
[Offline]
-=He's calm. Calm!Edward is scary.=-
What were you trying to do.
-=Monotone, calm. He'll even turn to look back at you, now.=-
[Offline]
... I was... just trying to gently introduce an idea...
[Offline]
Considering she thought you were talking about someone else.

-=he just... if he was important enough, he'd be remembered by now, right? Well, his own logic says if he wasn't remembered now, it wasn't going to happen=-
[Offline]
... maybe some good will come of it.

-=Last time he offered a 'push' he was rejected.=-
[Offline]
[He's silent for a moment, and then there's a soft laugh, lacking in any kind of humor.]
I should... go make sure Marge has enough hay.

-=Negi might catch the smallest of lip wibbles before he turns and heads off into his room.=-
[Offline]
Whenever Ed comes out, there will be a piece of loose leaf notebook paper on his door, and Negi won't be there.
The paper just says one word. "Sorry."]
