26 [Accidental Video]

[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 -- yetSoon, 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

That looked fun.

[showchoirstar]

I can assure you, it was not.

Why not?

[Totally an adrenaline junkie.]

....[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]

[showchoirstar]

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

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

[video]

[untamedantinous]

[Pfff, whatever.] It is generally considered a wise decision to request assistance when you cannot do something. I have built a number of barricades, mademoiselle, why did you not come to me?

[video]

[showchoirstar]

[THE FACT THAT YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE MAKES HER MORTIFIED.]

Well, generally, but I thought I could -- it's not heavy or anything, it's just... large.

[And she is so not explaining why she did not ask Enjolras' help in building a barricade.]

[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?

[showchoirstar]

[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.]

[hasacarebear]

[...The urge to smile rising but he's still worreid -]

I'm fine. Not a zombie if that's what you mean. Are you hurt?

[showchoirstar]

[Rachel looks better at that, before:]

I'm perfectly fine.

[Sort of. She's pretty sure she's going to be regretting that decision in the morning, but for now, Rachel seems to be pretty good. There's no bleeding, anyway.

... then, a little sheepishly, in explanation:]

I know how to fall properly.

[Tired Angels are confused by Rachels.]

What are you building?

[showchoirstar]

.... nothing.

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

[gotbackupagain]

Aren't you a bit too old or too sober for mattress sliding, though?

[showchoirstar]

-- that wasn't my goal.

[feel_nevermore]

[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]

[showchoirstar]

[She is very talented.]

...small graces.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

[She is indeed.]

[A small smirk at that.] The quiet gifts of everyday life.

[And a pause because that's what she should have asked in the first place.] Are you hurt?

I have been dropped from much higher distances and had only a hard wood floor to land on -- I will be find.
