seeking backup singers and dancers

[showmance]

[ sup, tranquility. enjoy this tiny, chipper teenybopper with big dreams. ]

Hello, people of the Tranquility. I'm Rachel Berry, from Lima, Ohio, circa 2011-2012, and I have a question for you all.

[ a deep breath. THIS IS IMPORTANT, TQ. ]

Does anyone here play an instrument? Or sing? Or dance? Or have any artistic inclinations whatsoever?

[in response to the 'I know but LOOKIT MY FACE' grin he gets a 'you didn't really just say that' face.]

And I'd hang up.

Generalizations hurt feelings, you know.

[she could be hurt. do you want her to be hurt.]

Then it's good we're not going to do either one, isn't it? Besides, apparently I'm a "hipster"-- thanks, Mike-- but I strive never to cross the line into frat boy.

[ mock solemnly drawing an x over his heart. ] And hope to... you get the picture.

[oh god okay she's laughing.]

As if Mike has any room to call anyone a hipster. Gonna have to muzzle that boy one of these days.

[ahem.]

Though I will hold you to that. You're much more interesting when you're reciting Shakespeare than you would be as a pretty frat boy.

I did threaten once to wear a sheet as a toga before I'd resign myself to a jumpsuit, but that was largely hyperbole.

[ come on, donna, you know he's charming ]

The Shakespeare is reasonably regular, though.

[he is charming, that's why he's dangerous--

But she just arches an eyebrow, clearly imagining that. And not minding the image at all.]

I can't say I'd mind the view, even if a sheet toga is hardly any classier than the jumpsuit.

[seriously, that's like highschool.]

Though I can appreciate anyone who can quote Shakespeare regularly, as charmingly roguish as you may be.

It's a little Revenge of the Nerds, right? Not my ideal look.

[ it's tacky, he agrees. ]

'Charmingly roguish'. [ CHEEK SQUISHING EMOTE HERE ] And I thought I was the one trying to win you over.

[good sir, it is so nice to be around someone familiar with pop culture and classics alike.]

You're certainly not going to win any hearts with a sheet toga, I'll grant you that one.

[ohoho.]

I call it like I see it. But oh? You were trying to win me over? I didn't notice.

[not trying hard enough]

[and a bright smile!!]

Take it as you will.

[she's totally expecting this.]

Challenge accepted, then.

[ donna he loves you. ]

[that's because she's totally lovable, but that just draws a very calculating look out of her for a moment.]

Take thy fortune; thou find'st to be too busy is some danger.

[and oh is she dangerous.

But for now, she's just going to flick her fingers in a wave. Challenge accepted, the game is on, good luck, she's hanging up now.
