[The PCD is now granted to Jesse and Rachel sitting in the theatre that looks like Christmas has arrived early. Tinsel and ornaments and everything Rachel has hoarded for the past... well, since she got here, really, is in piles around them. And Rachel seems to just be finishing a muttered warning of ‘Behave yourself’ to Jesse before she begins to speak.]

Good evening, Adstringendum! We’re looking for volunteers to decorate.

[And Rachel elbows Jesse lightly to continue.]

Preferably those with actual skill, taste and with a normal, sane personality. But this being nearly impossible to find - at least two of the three.

[ And then he mutters to Rachel ‘are you sure about this?’

Rachel’s smile, in response, only becomes tighter, while she works to perform necessary damage control. After shooting Jesse a look that clearly says ‘Yes, I am sure’, she fluffs a stack of papers in her lap. ]


I have already drafted up a list of individuals to designate to specific tastes, which includes decoration, set design, costumes, the ability to chop down a tree, and ornament creation. We would also like to know whether or not individuals who have the ability to sing would like to participate in our holiday extravaganza. Our fellow glee club members, of course, will attend, but I wish for everyone to be involved, not just those of pre-determined talent.

[ Jesse, in response, looks like he might be considering his girlfriend’s sanity, after all. ]

There will be at least one audition though, to make sure we will not sing carols along to Rebecca Black’s voice, or worse, Faith Hill’s ----

What Jesse means to say is that we will be equal opportunity to all individuals who wish to take part in this holy time.

[Keep on smiling, Rachel. Just keep on smiling.]

What - That’s not what I -

[But then he sees Rachel’s expression and well, she can get scary ok? He just gives a small eye roll and then nods. But not without muttering something about ‘they’ll probably be drowned in our awesome vocals anyway’.

And Rachel, for that comment, elbows him lightly, before refocusing her attention on the camera.]


Now! Remember! Everyone deserves a chance to shine! I expect plenty of volunteers and if you do not volunteer, I will certainly come find you. The holiday season is about giving and sharing, not being lazy.

[And she flashes a grin.]

Have at it!
somethingspecial: (♪ It's too soon.)
[Rachel is on stage, pacing in agitation. She looks positively exhausted -- there are circles underneath her eyes and her hair is pulled back instead of hanging loose around her shoulders, like it normally is. The music following her is quiet, at least -- but soon, drums are heard -- a guitar, and Rachel stops in her tracks, in the dead center of the stage, before she closes her eyes.

And finally decides to give into the event and sing.

She does the choreography perfectly -- the voices heard alongside hers are exactly as Rachel remembers them -- the music is perfect -- and the event purposefully leaves out Rachel's voice, in the 'recording', so that she can sing along. When she gets to the end, she's grinning, and she stops on the edge of the stage, a hand outstretched to the audience, before she begins to speak:]


If we sing that every single week before Nationals, it would help our morale enormously -- because the most important thing, fellow Glee club-bers, is that we remember precisely where we came from. That is our true strength --

[She clasps her hands together.]

I really think we have a shot at beating Vocal Adrenaline, but Finn, you need to project mo --

[But as Rachel looks up, to her right, she stops speaking abruptly. Because there isn't anyone there.

Her shoulders slump slightly as she presses a hand to her forehead, sighing to herself shakily as she turns back towards the curtains.

Someone hates this event way more than she thought she would.]

somethingspecial: (♪ Living on a prayer.)
Well, now that the insanity has passed.

[Rachel is hanging up her green scarf, a testament to her own team loyalty, before she turns to her PCD, hands on her hips. She means absolute business.]

We can get down to actual business! Our talent has rested far too long and I believe auditions have been postponed long enough. So, I move to make an official date -- next Monday, at the old schoolhouse, at 4:00 PM. You will arrive promptly and, on a first come first serve basis, Kurt and I will judge whether or not you are worthy to join our singing ensemble.

Blaine, you will also have to try out, as I have no proof of your talent.

[With one last smile to the camera, Rachel shuts off her PCD.]


ooc: An open log can be thrown up next week for some funtimes, if that's okay with Lydia. ♥

[Rachel, in her argyle glory, looks like she's ready to conduct a group of people into war. She has a clipboard in front of her, tongue between her teeth, scribbling soemthing that can't quite be seen by the camera. When she's finished, she looks up with a smirk that can only be described as diabolical.]

Adstringendum!

I need volunteers to provide entertainment for the Halloween party this Sunday, location to be provided by Negi. I will need people who can play instruments or sing. Those who have actual training would be preferred, but seeing as we're living in a post-apocalyptic nightmare, it's understandable that we'll have to make do with what we have.

I will need, as soon as possible, to coordinate with those that can play guitar, drums, piano -- though, I'll be able to play piano if needed -- and sing. We have until Sunday to put together whatever performance we can for the party.

Please tell me as soon as possible so we can have auditions.

[People have gone home. Sebastian is a demon. Ciel Phantomhive is on a skyscraper. And some weird priestess girl can apparently sense evil.

So what does Rachel Berry have to say about this?

Have our resident diva carefully setting up the PCD on her windowsill, looking uncertainly at the camera. When she's assured that it's recording, she peers into it like this is the most important question she will ever ask anyone in her entire life.]


Does anyone have a piano or any other musical instruments? Oh, and I need a sound system. Preferably surround, if that sort of thing is available around here.

[And she pauses to contemplate this.]

And has anyone tried holy water on this whole 'demon' problem? I mean, I don't believe in it, but I think Quinn told me once that holy water can melt sin. Or something.
[The feed clicks on to show a girl dressed to the nines sitting on a rock. In the rain. In any other moment, Rachel Berry would appreciate the dramatic nuances of the scene, but for the moment? The girl looks scared, arms wrapped around herself, and she's shivering.]

This isn't funny. Whatever has happened, I'm going to figure it out. You hear me, Vocal Adrenaline?!

[And she's calling into the woods now, because obviously, this is the rival glee club's fault. She's serious.]

I'm going to get back to the performance hall and we're going to win, without your cheating! I demand to be returned at once!

[Her bravado is broken by a small sob as Rachel tucks her head into her arms once again, totally ignorant of the PCD recording her.]

Oh, Finn, where are you?
