[ when the PCD clicks on, it shows a blonde teenager in a red and white cheerleading uniform, trying her best not to cry. that was supposed to be over, the tears being something she left behind with that part of her she shed while she was working off all that weight over the summer after giving birth to beth. she was less hormonal, less prone to

[Is that -- ?]

[Oh, for the love of -- ]

[...but it's nice to see her. Weirdly.]

Quinn!

Please cease yelling, you will attract unsavory attention. Calm down. I will come get you and bring you to safety. Okay?

[ and how strange it is to feel a surge of relief upon hearing rachel berry's voice, of all people. it's familiar, and that's all quinn cares about. ]

Oh my God, Rachel? How are you here; did they get you, too? ...please tell me this isn't some sort of really messed up Glee Club hazing.

[showchoirstar]

I think they'd be stupid to bring you into the joke too.

[It looks and sounds like Quinn is behind the times -- which makes Rachel slightly more hopeful. She's had enough of the future.]

We're in Adstringendum, Quinn -- look, press the yellow button on the side of the device you are holding and I will come get you. Quickly -- an event started and people are acting extraoridnarily ... weird.

Weird ain't the half of it.

You really think that's wise? Maybe it'd be better if she went to the clinic.

-=Both Negi and Al off their rockers is not making him a secure guy, right now.=-

... I don't want her to be alone, Edward.

[Somewhat reluctantly. Quinn Fabray has made her life ever loving Hell -- but still, Quinn and Rachel are friends. Or, at least, Rachel thinks so. Quinn told her the truth. Not very many people would care enough to do that.]

But if you think she would be safer -- ?

[saintedsinner]

Have you seen Negi lately? -=He's a little shocked that she would ask him that.=-

Al isn't any better, right now. I don't know what's going on, but things should settle down first, alright? -=He doesn't need to be saving another girl who will freak out if things get out of hand.=-

[showchoirstar]

Of course I have, but --

[Negi wouldn't actually hurt them, would he?]

... I will bring Quinn to the clinic.

[saintedsinner]

That would be best. The Animus have control over them. -=He wishes he could say no, but they're talking about Animus, after all.=-

[showchoirstar]

Then that's where she'll stay.

-=He just nods. Good.=-

You're crazy. This is crazy.

[ quinn, don't insult rachel while she's trying to help you. at least she obeys and presses the button. ]

[Rachel bites down the urge to tell Quinn oh, yes, she's absolutely insane, because she's been stuck here for months, and is she complaining? No. But she simply tosses Quinn a look before setting out, bringing her dog Evita with her. Company is always necessary in Adstringendum.]

-- what is the last thing you remember? Before coming here.

Mr. Schue gave us a duets assignment. Sam asked me to sing with him, but I said no.

[ and that's it. quinn was pulled before rachel had a chance to talk her into singing with him. ]

[Rachel stops walking, for a moment, to contemplate that, before she keeps walking, a pit growing in her stomach.]

-- this isn't Ohio, Quinn, or even America, or Earth. It's a brand new city. You were brought here by beings called the Animus, and I know it sounds like some bizarre cultish Charles Manson scenario, but it isn't. I've been here since -- since March, that I remember, but it's really been more like October. Some of my memories are missing from my time here --

[A sudden pause, as Rachel digests that.]

... it's almost been a year.
