[ The Forge was turned on, but it seems the girl who turned it on isn't aware to that fact. She knocked into life as she lifted what seems to be a little pink trolley and laid it on the bed. Currently she's talking to herself in a very frantic way. ]

-- So low and disgraceful of them - they must have finally understood the true extent of my talent

[It... really doesn't matter what he's been doing right up until this moment, right now? His jaw is dropping and brows lifting high enough on his forehead to do most of the talking for him.

Don't mind him while he mutters in a low, bewildered voice:]

Oh my God...

[ Tell her about it Cas. ]

Who is this? If you are in this disgraceful plot run by Vocal Adrenaline to depress my musical talent, I'll have you know that I intend to sue. This is barbaric and unnecessary.
I understand that while the extent of talent can be threatning a competition needs to be fair, and stealing a show choir's female lead in her prime and just before Nationals does not count as fair play.

Uh... yeah, so... [He dips his head, laughing before looking back up again.]

I uh... have no idea what you're talking about, but you really have an amazing set of lungs there. Welcome to Anatole.

[andagoldstar]

Welcome to -

[ ...what? ]

I don't know of any Anatole.

video;

[buryindecadence]

Yeah, me neither. But apparently? That's what they call this place.

What's your story?

video;

[andagoldstar]

But where is it?

I - I'm Rachel Barbra Berry. I'm from Lima, Ohio. Destined for Broadway stages and stardom. I'm -

I can't believe this is happening -

[ Oh God. She's getting so upset. ]

[buryindecadence]

Not sure-- [Uh oh. Waterworks incoming in 3... 2...]

Hey, hey, Berry... take it easy. It's gonna be okay. You might not be in Kansas anymore, but I've only been here a few weeks and it's not so bad.

[Quick, think fast before she starts crying.]

...You know, you probably hear this all the time, but your singing? You sound like an angel.

[andagoldstar]

It's - Rachel - [ She wipes at her eyes. 'Berry' reminds her of her school's bullies. The Wizard of Oz reference doesn't go unnoticed. She does feel a little like Dorothy. But - where is the light at the end of the tunnel? Why is nobody telling her of a Wizard that could send her home?

The last part gets a teary smile. ]

Nobody told me - that in this way.

[buryindecadence]

What? I like Berry... it reminds me of something sweet. Like your singing.

[You'd think he was laying it on thick, but nope! He just really thinks she's got an awesome voice, that's all!]

I'm Cas.

[andagoldstar]

[ She smiles, albeit a bit shyly since she's not. Really used to compliments. ]

Cas? [ She nods a tiny bit. ]

Is this - some - mass kidnapping thing? Or - were you kidnapped as well?

[buryindecadence]

[Doesn't matter to him as long as the waterworks stop. Crisis averted.]

You know, that's probably a good word for it? But in my case... they kinda did me a favor.

I was in the midst of coming to an extraordinarily bad end when I woke up here.

video;

[andagoldstar]

That's awful.

[ Said quietly. ]

video;

[buryindecadence]

It is what it is.

...I mean it though. I'm not gonna lie and tell you everything is peachy, but it could be worse. I think most of us have the right idea with the whole 'making the best of what we got' approach, you know?

video;

[andagoldstar]

I -

My dads will go crazy. I - I need to let them know somehow that I'm ok.

video; aaaand Cas is utterly indifferent to sexual orientation. It's canon now XD;

[buryindecadence]

Yeah, I'm not sure if there's a whole lot you can do about that. Sorry.

[Don't look like that, Berry... you're harshing his buzz.]

You know, I think you're gonna have to take a moment and focus on yourself, alright? Worry about your parents later.

...How much have people told you about this place?

video; XD

[andagoldstar]

Not much - just that I'm stuck here.
