[ the hesitance is practically palpable as the screen flickers for a second and reveals this cute little face, looking all sorts of uncomfortable. you see, Rory doesn’t ever get drunk. ever. so waking up in a strange place after full-body paralysis is actually really really terrifying. help please. ]

Um. I’ve seen videos like this and I imagine that’s how everyone finds one another so I’m going to try it. So. Me name’s Rory Flanagan and I’d really like to know what’s going on. I mean, I’m all for discovering new places and learning new things but I don’t really think this is the right way to go about it…

[ his voice is very small. ]

Can I at least know if anyone else from McKinley is here? Does anyone know Finn Hudson? [ he’s got very few friends and Finn’s one of them. the only one. so if anyone knows him for the love of God, tell Rory. ]

Whoa, hold up. I know every guy in McKinley, and between me and Britts we've made out with all of them, I dunno who you are or how you know Finn, actually, I don't care how you know Finn, but quit your lyin'.

[ b-but. ]

...Santana?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

...How do you know my name?

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

Because I know you. You're Brittany's friend. You should know me!

Unless this is one of your... "pranks"?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

Look leprechaun, I don't know who you are, never seen you before!

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

[ his face falls. ]

...maybe I'm mistaken, then.

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

Hey, um, how's Brittany?

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

How was she last you saw her?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

We lost Nationals because Finn and Berry decided to suck face but besides that Britt was happy because, well, we were just happy, okay? What's she up to?

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

She's runnin' for senior president, mostly. She seems happy enough. [ he's not going to mention the rest of what's happened. then his voice goes kind of soft.] You really don't remember me?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

She'll win, I know it. [she frowns at him, but not a harsh frown, more of an I'm sorry frown, she has enough people here who don't like her, she won't bitch out the one person who has connections to her home] I've never met you before, honest.

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

[ he perks a little, because IDEA. and a much less dangerous idea than his last one. ] Would you like to be friends, Santana? It would be an honor, really.

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

Um, not until you tell me who the hell you are and why you know Brittany.

Is McKinley what your world is called sir? [Romeo smiles at the man.] Is Finn your friend? I can help you look for him but he might not be here...

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

[ person ;A; ] It's my school. McKinley's the name o my school, and Finn's my best mate. Why wouldn't he be here? [ if Santana is here why aren't his other classmates here? ]

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

[A person who is now staring at you in amazement.] You go to school sir! Do you learn lots of things? Is it fun?

[He frowns slightly] Well the bad people don't kidnap everyone, what does your friend look like? I can help you look for him! [Because best friends are important]

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

[ well. ] I learn lots of things there. You mean you've never been to a school before? [ now he's the one looking in mild amazement. ]

He's real tall, taller than me even and he's got a sort of goofy-lookin' grin and probably he's wearing stripes. And he might be being followed around by a real short girl. [ who's annoying as hell. ]

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Do you get to read lots of things! [He shakes his head] No, Doctor Casella was going to try and help me get a job so I could go to school when I went back home but then I got kidnapped and brought here.

I'll look for you sir! And tell him that you're looking for him!

oh god can you tell i'm on my phone yet ;;

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

Loads. Mostly old classics like Huckleberry Finn and Ender's Game and lots of other novels.[ a tentative little smile ] I could always tell you about them sometime. I paid pretty good attention.

[ he looks slightly more cheerful! ] Thank you.

sob no worries

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

I never read them before, but I did read Moby Dick have you read that one? That would be nice sir! If you didn't mind that is!

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

No, I think Moby Dick's junior year, but I do know the story fairly well. It's no mind whatsoever, really!

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

What is junior year sir? And thank you!

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

Well, there are four years in high school in America. Junior's the third, I'm in my second right now.

And you don't have to call me sir or anything, I like Rory better. Sir feels awfully stiff.

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

You come from America? That's a long way over the ocean from me. I come from Italy!

Okay mister Rory! I'm Romeo!

[2toadstoolsdown.livejournal.com]

Oh. No, no, I'm from Ireland! But I moved to America. So we're a lot closer than that.
