A tall, blonde, pretty cheerleader walks into the bar, immaculate red-and-white uniform not even a hair askew.

And she stops.

... Quinn?

Santana?

"Uh-oh."

[ooc: This is Brittany from early season one of Glee, around episode two or so. Incredibly decontextualized spoilers through the season finale in the icons!

There's a teenage boy--about fifteen-- not far from herwearing a soft short-sleeved button down shirt and a pair of worn jeans (the bottoms are a bit muddy, but dried). He has a sword belted at his side, but that's a little hard to see from the barstool he's sitting on. He's working on a sketch.

He glances up at her, a mildly concerned look on his face. "What happened?"

[birdinherlocker]

Brittany stares at him.

(This is not really an unusual expression for her.)

"... I think I went through the wrong door," she says, resigned.

[takiena_called]

...

"Oh," Finn says, catching on. "You're new."

[birdinherlocker]

She looks offended.

"I made Cheerios freshman year."

This, as it happens, is a Big Deal, and makes Brittany a Big Deal by association.

Hellooooo.

[takiena_called]

"You make those?" Finn asks, as excited as if someone had just suggested they had been in charge of a popular movie's set creation to a room of design students. "How do you--um, make them all the same?"

[birdinherlocker]

Brittany scrunches up her face in confusion.

Why are they talking about cereal ...?

"What?"

[takiena_called]

"The circles," Finn clarifies, uncertainly.

[birdinherlocker]

"I don't know what you're talking about."

[takiena_called]

D:!!!

"You don't have cheerios?"

[birdinherlocker]

This is like one of those things. Singing "Row Row Row Your Boat"? Brittany has no idea.

"Um."

She points to herself; her uniform says WMHS across the chest.

"I'm a Cheerio?" She eyes him. "Are you like an exchange student?"

[takiena_called]

"Oh," Finn says, looking as if he kind of gets it. "It's a group.

"We're--not, um. At a school? The door goes here sometimes. Er, from different places.

It's a restaurant."

[birdinherlocker]

Brittany looks at him.

Give her a minute.

[takiena_called]

Finn looks back!

Patiently.

[birdinherlocker]

Now Brittany is looking left.

And right.

And up.

Then she looks back down to Finn.

"Are there breadsticks?"

[takiena_called]

"Probably." Finn's expression is very sincere and explanatory. "Bar has everything."

As if to prove his point, breadsticks miraculously appear in a basket on the Bar's surface. (There're six. And a small bowl of marinara sauce.)

[birdinherlocker]

Brittany stares.

"Wow," she breathes.

"It's like a microwave."

(That's probably not the word she was looking for.)
