26 [Accidental Video]

[somethingspecial]

[Adstringendum, you have a wonderful view of a staircase within Solve et Coagula. The PCD looks like it's on the floor and no one seems to be in sight -- yet.

Soon, a mattress appears at the top of the staircase, wielded by the tiny diva powerhouse that is Rachel Berry. She looks like she's having some difficulty pulling the mattress upright, but one does not master the art of the pique without having supreme body strength. So, on the very tips of her toes, Rachel manages to place the mattress near the top of the stairs --

But unfortunately for Rachel, the mattress is much taller than she is, and when it tips forward, so does she, and with a massive yelp, Rachel lands on the mattress, on her stomach, as the mattress flies down the stairs like the hounds of hell were after it.

She rockets past the camera and there is a resounding crash as the mattress slams into the front door, along with a groan and a shuffle off-screen as Rachel pushes herself up. Soon, she falls back into frame, rubbing her head with an irritated look, wincing as her fingers find the back of her head.]

Building these things is much easier on stage than it is in real life...

[OH DEAR LORD.]

Are you all right?

[Yeah he'll make sure of that before he laughs and congratulates her like he would a frat buddy. Because seriously. That was kind of awesome.]

[somethingspecial]

[Rachel looks over at the PCD and blinks before she frowns to herself.]

...oh, marvelous.

[Mutter, mutter, irritation -- ]

My take at mattress sledding was recorded, I'm certain I'll win a Tony for that performance --

Beginner's luck. You'll have to try it again for the gold medal I'm afraid.

[... that noise can not be good. Have a Negi peeking his head out from the study.]

... Miss Rachel?

[Rachel may have taken out a table in that epic blunder -- but she looks more or less okay, on the surface. She's sitting on the mattress, her legs splayed in front of her, very ungracefully.]

Yes?

[NOTHING TO SEE HERE.]

[exarmatio]

[OH NO, THERE IS PLENTY TO SEE THERE.]

... um... what were you... trying to do?

[Okay, even if that hadn't been caught by the PCD Blaine would have heard the bang and come rushing to see what happened.]

You need some help Rachel?

[Though really...he might not be that much help.]

[somethingspecial]

Blaine!

[Rachel is -- well, flat on her ass, on her mattress, rubbing the back of her head with something of a sheepish expression.]

Hello.

Hey...

[He sort of just...stares for a moment before running down the stairs and holding out a hand for Rachel to take so he can help her up. Because that is what dapper gentlemen do.]

You alright?

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

What are you doing...?

[Video]

[somethingspecial]

Auditioning for the role of klutz, apparently.

[capuletguarddog]

And you were attempting... what exactly?

[somethingspecial]

I was auditioning for the role of Christine Daae in Love Never Dies.

[... get it, because it was a flop. Get it. Get it.]

[reckless-equine.livejournal.com]

That looked fun.

[somethingspecial]

I can assure you, it was not.

....[So, so quietly amused. But he manages to hold it in, masking a slight grin with the palm of his hand.]

Shall I venture a guess as to what you were doing? And if my guess is correct, why did you not ask me for assistance?

[video]

[somethingspecial]

[...shut up, Enjolras. ;;]

No, you may not venture a guess, and whatever that guess is, it is most definitely wrong.

[There are moments in which Jesse is convinced his girlfriend is the most brilliant woman in the world.

...And there are my-mother-is-Patti-Lupone moments in which he - doesn't even know what to -

Yeah well that's one of those. That and he's worried]

Rachel - are you ok?

[somethingspecial]

[Shut up, this was a completely and utterly brilliant idea, do not question her genius.

She cringes to herself as she rubs her head, but looks over at the camera with a blink, before she brightens.]

Jesse! Are you?

[... like she had not just mattress surfed down a flight of stairs and slammed into a door at full tilt, there is a zombie apocalypse running around, okay.]

[Tired Angels are confused by Rachels.]

What are you building?

[somethingspecial]

.... nothing.

[She is most certainly not building a barricade, okay, hush.]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[Wow Rachel. How do you manage to make going down a staircase look more dangerous than going a zombie killing spree? Raven is so flabbergasted, she has forgotten to facepalm for once.]

...At least the front door was not open. [Because Azar knows where you'd have ended up, Rachel.]

[Video]

[somethingspecial]

[She is very talented.]

...small graces.

[saintedsinner]

What the hell are you doing?

[somethingspecial]

[Rachel is rubbing her head with a scowl before she tilts her head backwards to look up at Edward.]

... nothing.
