[ This is Rachel Berry you guys. And she looks very professional. Well, as professional as you can seem in an owl sweater, a school girl skirt and knee socks. ]

Hello Anatole! To those of you who don't know me yet, my name is Rachel Berry and I have a few issues I'd like to point out!

As the city's [ self proclaimed ] musical icon, I couldn't help

[Hesitation but oh, she's so bored.] I can sing.

[andagoldstar]

Really? [ she's smiling but oh God this is dangerous. She can sing and she's pretty like Quinn ;; but this place has no place for competition antics surely - ]

You should audition!

[stopkissingme]

I don't know if I could audition... I'm not sure I'm that good.

[andagoldstar]

You'll never know if you won't try! And I am sure practice will help to improve your notes.

[slaythemoon]

...so that's what it sounds like in English.

[andagoldstar]

-- You heard it in another language?

[slaythemoon]

Yeah, in Japanese. It's been... I couldn't tell you how long, though.

[andagoldstar]

[ she beams! ]

I am sure it was as lovely in Japanese as it is in English. It is a masterpiece, after all.

[To his credit, Bran at least listens all the way through. This girl is a lot more enthusiastic about music than his sisters ever were, which he supposes isn't so bad, but he still scrunches his face up after she finishes singing.]

Is that a love song?

[andagoldstar]

One of the most well known ones! Though to be exact it's a song about an unrequited, rather tragic love.

[He is unimpressed.]

I've never heard of it.

Why would you want to sing about that?

[andagoldstar]

-- Why wouldn't I? It's a beautiful masterpiece and filled with emotional depth.

[stakesthings]

My experience with singing and dancing is pretty much limited to 16+ club dancing and black magic wielding demons, so the chances of me helping with that are pretty close to no.

But entertainment-wise... I'm guessing my world's is pretty much your world's. Mindnumbing boobtube and all.

[andagoldstar]

Dancing and demons?

[stakesthings]

Yeah, there was this... thing with... his name was Sweet. Or Suite? You know, I never did get his card.

[andagoldstar]

Oh --

Well, do you like music?

[oathbroken]

Every world enjoys a decent song, girl. I expect that is a constant from place to place.

However, on my world, such things are generally performed by a traveling bard and perhaps presented between farces and mummer's shows. Assuming we speak only of the gentler forms of entertainment, of course.

[andagoldstar]

Rachel. [ she is more than a girl, after all. ]

-- It was once popular where I come from. Now people come to see singers especially. In a concert.

[oathbroken]

[He waves that name away with a short flap of his hand.]

And what purpose would there be in going to see them when they ought to be coming to see you?

[andagoldstar]

[ She couldn't think of anyone more disagreeable right now. Well except for Coach Sylvester. ]

Because where I live in modern times, art is well appreciated and performing artists give their songs and live performances all that they have, which is why people always come to see and pay money to hear them! Artists should celebrate their creation not to go around because they have to.
