[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.]

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

... Miss Rachel?

[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.]

[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 --

[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.]

What are you doing...?

Blaine!

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

Hello.

Auditioning for the role of klutz, apparently.

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

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

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?

[... busted.]

... build a barricade.

[Somewhat sheepishly.]

But -- I was hoping to just bring the mattress downstairs, for now -- I wanted to see Jesse, first, before I tried blocking the door. I don't like him being in the clinic with all of the infected people.

[Aww, Blaine, you are a sweetheart. She takes his hand to pull herself up with a wince, rolling her shoulders slightly.]

I'm fine... thank you.

That did not go as expected or planned.

Glad you're okay. You could have gotten hurt and that's really the last thing we need right now.

You think we need a barricade in the house? I mean I don't think any of those...zombies are going to get in.

[At least he hopes not. He's freaking out so much in his head but he's trying to appear calm.]

[Oh.]

I'm sure he'll be fine... Unohana-san and the other shinigami have an ability that allows them to stop movement, so I'm sure if anyone at the clinic turns into a zombie, she could stop them. She's not going to let someone get attacked there.

And, ah... there isn't really a need for a barricade. I have a barrier set up.

I suppose.

[She doesn't look entirely convinced, but if Negi says so... Rachel trusts his judgment.

She does blink, though, at the knowledge of the barrier, before Rachel frowns.]

It keeps everything out?

And you were attempting... what exactly?

I have fallen off of far worse things than a flight of stairs and a mattress.

[She looks down at the carnage, with a blink, before she tilts her head.]

It couldn't hurt, right?

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

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

I guess there are worse things that could happen.

[...like getting bitten by a zombie.]

Better safe then sorry, I suppose.

Everything. And as long as I'm conscious, it will stay up.

[Which means, yes, he's been pretty much staying awake for the last day or so.

He looks down at the mattress, nudging it with his toes.]

... I suppose we need to bring this back upstairs, don't we?

Definitely.

[She huffs her bangs out of her face -- Rachel needs a haircut desperately.]

This event is more than a little ridiculous. Being a zombie in costume is more than enough for me, thank you very much.

... Negi, you need to sleep. That isn't going to do anyone any good, if you pass out or make yourself ill because of a barrier.

[Though, at the question, Rachel sighs.]

I suppose so.

I'm okay. I don't sleep most nights anyway. I'm a little used to it.

[He's inspecting that mattress. He and Rachel are the same height. She clearly couldn't get it safely down the stairs, so having her take it is out of the question. And it's a little big for him, too. At least, at this height.]

Mm... I can take it back up myself, so you don't have to worry about it.

[Sup, Rachel, there's a sudden puff of smoke with no warning from Negi whatsoever. And when it clears in a second or two, there's a much taller person there that looks an awful lot like Negi.]

There. That should do it.

Never thought this place would put us through the zombie apocalypse. It's like the bad horror movies that David insists we watch on Warbler movie nights.
