[The camera flickers on, and Kurt is there, directly facing the camera. He's sitting in a rather modern-looking white chair in his room, with one leg delicately crossed over the other, and his hands folded in his lap. Since all of the evidence of horrible makeovers and other things that shall not be discussed is gone, he's opted to just proceed like they never happened. Ever.]

Greetings, Wonderland. As I'm sure you may remember, there were attempts to start a glee club here in the mansion. There were many distractions along the way, some cruel and unusual, and others quite the pleasant surprise - [He gives the tiniest little wave at the camera as he says this - HI DAD. ♥ ] - however, it's about time we attempted to restore some normalcy.

Glee club, for those whose cultures are sadly lacking in high school-level musical education, is also known as a show choir. We sing and dance, and compete against other show choirs. Granted, competition would be near impossible, unless there's some other prison-like mansion in the near vicinity with an active glee club. But even without that, singing can be rather cathartic, so after all of these rough events, who wouldn't want to turn to something therapeutic for comfort?

[He adjusts his hair and beams at the camera, feeling like he's rocking this PSA just as much as he's rocking his current ensemble. Military chic with the tallest Doc Martens he owns was simply the only thing appropriate for a state of the union-esque video.] Now, there's only so many high school-aged people trapped here, sadly, so we're widening our circle to anyone who wants to join. We only have a small handful of members at the moment, which is problematic for a show choir, so I highly encourage any of you who have any interest in music whatsoever to join us. We could always use musicians as well, and our pianist seems to have disappeared.

Anyway, if you're interested, we're going to start meeting on Wednesday evenings in the Music Room. It's likely the safest day, since these events seem rather prone to falling on the weekend, but should that theory be proven wrong, well, we'll reschedule.

I believe that's all for now. We hope to see you at rehearsal. [He smiles, and the camera clicks off. PERFECT TAKE.]

Sounds fun~ I'm game just so long as there's going to be more people there than just you or me~...I don't know if I'm any good though.

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

There are at least four other people who expressed interest initially, if not more. Counting us, that brings the total up to six, which is half of what we would need to compete, if we actually could.

Don't worry about whether you're good or not. I mean, we would prefer you not shatter glass of course, but we're not expecting Tony Award winners either. We need all the members we can get, really. I'm sure you'll be fine.

It's like watching a bad PSA.

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

I wanted to shoot an elaborate commercial, but the lighting was completely wrong in here, and by the time I obtained enough people to act in it, it would be Halloween. It really needed to be addressed as soon as possible.

Besides, with a lack of technical equipment or an AV Club's generosity to take advantage of, I doubt you could have done much better.

[gypsyjean.livejournal.com]

I can't really sing, but I'm a professional dancer.

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

That's fine! That's excellent, actually. We can always use dancers, and there will be background parts if you're nervous about your vocal abilities.

[so-please-die.livejournal.com]

Why doesn't that sound like fun..~

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is fun, once interest picks up anyway. Will you join?

[devildom-diva.livejournal.com]

Ohmigod.

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

Is that a yes?

[helena-campbell.livejournal.com]

...I guess I'd like to join except I don't actually sing very well.

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

You should join anyway. It's not about being able to sing well - it's fun. At home, glee club wasn't just a club. It was an escape from the traumas of high school to a pseudo-family where none of it mattered.

Besides, every voice is important, even a background vocal, and there are other things to do too, like costumes. And our glee club doesn't even have a name yet.

Choir? Stellar doesn't know of 'choir'... but Stellar likes to dance.

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

A choir is...it's a group of people who stand and sing together. A show choir is like that, except there's usually choreographed dance numbers.

You're welcome to come. We can always use dancers.

[sitarslacker.livejournal.com]

Glee club, huh? Sounds like a blast. I'll be there- you need any musical accompaniment?

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

We do! That would be great - we don't have any at the moment. What do you play?

[Coraline, for fashionably inclined minds who want to know, is going to take the entire month of October as an excuse to wear stripy orange-black leggings, her pointy witch hat, and her atrociously clashing 'C' Weasley Sweater.

Because October is the best excuse to be a witch for a whole month.]

Yes yes yes! I'm gonna be there this week, Kurt! What are we gonna sing?!

I'm not sure yet. I have a few ideas, but I wanted to see what sort of people would be expressing interest....or, if anyone would express interest, but that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. It might just be introductions with "auditions", of sorts - everyone will get in of course, but it will show what kind of voices we have to work with.

Though clearly, with all of these different worlds, there is a lot of music to expose people to, so tribute weeks are a definite possibility. Like to Lady Gaga. Or Madonna. Or Britney Spears. ...And Sing-A-Long Sound of Music would be coming up around this time at home, so there's always that.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

My, that sounds quite interesting. [ ahh young people ]

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

It should be fun, if we can really get it going.

Would you like to join us? ...There really aren't enough high school students to keep it exclusively high school students anyway.

[brbgottagodie.livejournal.com]

...Is this what all American high schools do?

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

It's what all of the American high schools that matter do.

[fratermaior.livejournal.com]

[Have a long silence.]

I can play the harpsichord, and the piano, by extension.

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

Really? That's excellent. Would you be willing to do us the honor of playing for our glee club? Rachel had lined up a pianist for us when she was here, but I don't know where he ran off to. It's entirely possible he was sent home.

[trinityaffinity.livejournal.com]

If Demyx is doing it, I am, too!

[audio]

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

Well, far be it from me to stop you if you want to join with him! We'd be glad to have both of you.

[balladtodadsurn.livejournal.com]

...we're having rehearsals here? For the club?

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not. We're all from different times, I think, so we won't be able to rehearse exactly. But in times of chaos, such as being forced to a strange mansion in the middle of nowhere as prisoners an subjected to random horrifying "events", a little bit of normalcy helps.

Besides, I miss it. And Rachel isn't here to give herself all of the solos.

[guyshaveitgood.livejournal.com]

Where is the music room?

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

It's on the first floor.
