Down The Rabbit Hole, Chapter 13

Word Count: 1.2k

Warnings: sexual situations

Abed couldn’t help himself as he heard the piano.

The study group had all but agreed that they weren’t going to be going near Mr. Radison, especially while he was trying to recruit them for the Christmas Pageant, but something deep within Abed called for him to go towards the cafeteria. 

He didn’t expect to see you laying on the stage, singing half-heartedly while Mr. Rad was playing.  And he certainly didn’t expect the sight to pull at his heartstrings.

He hadn’t really spoken to you since he’d asked you to officially leave the group, and everyone in it.  You looked as lonely as he’d felt, knowing that the group was going their separate ways for the holidays. 

“What are you still doing here?”

You shot up, pulled from the dreamy like fog that you’d been introduced into when Cory began to talk to you about when you’d been an emergency substitute from the year prior with the rest of the study group. 

You had originally been lost in your thoughts, seduced by the promises of being with the study group, under the guise of being the emergency substitutes for the Glee Club for the Christmas Pageant.

Until you saw Abed. 

“I-I should go,” you said quickly, shaking your head at the music teacher, “I’m sorry Cory.  I’m not interested.  But I hope that you find someone in time.  The Christmas pageant is always a lot of fun…and it’s a good practice run for regionals.”

Mr. Rad frowned, but continued to play as you scurried off.  He looked over his shoulder at Abed to answer his question, “I thought I’d give her one more tinkle, before I took down the decorations.  No Glee Club means no pageant.  That means no Christmas.  Miss. Michaels seemed to have been considering my offer, but there’s no Glee Club with just one person…and from what she was saying, you in the group may have lost your cheerful spirit with her.”

“Who would have thought if you’re trying to make things better, it just would’ve made more darkness.”

“That sounds like a certain ex-lawyer talking.  Was it him that got rid of her because she’s got a free spirit lurking beneath all that work ethic?” he asked.  Abed cocked his head to the side as Mr. Rad turned more towards him, “You know, I see a lot of myself in you, Abed.  You care about your friends.  And you wish that they cared more about each other.  I was just talking about that with Tawney before you came in.  You know, that’s not an easy position to be in sometimes, choosing between your own happiness and the happiness of others…but she seemed resigned in wanting to make a certain someone happy with her...”

“Tell me about it,” he huffed, “I just want my friends to have a Merry Christmas.”

“Well…maybe you could start by giving them the greatest Christmas gift of all…”

“What’s that?”

Mr. Radison smiled as he began to sing, knowing exactly how the study group was going to fall into his trap.

All because of a very vulnerable Abed Nadir.

“Mr. Rad plans on getting every single member of our study group to join the Glee Club!” Annie said as she disappeared behind a curtain to change into a costume.  Jeff’s brows furrowed as he looked around, surprised that he’d been brought to the costume department.

“I don’t know how that’s gonna happen!” he said softly, “not only do we all have plans, but all of us seem to be in agreement that we don’t want to do that stupid pageant…so I don’t get how it could work.”

“It’s a great plan that Mr. Rad set up.  Here, ’ll show you!” she said openly, stepping out from behind the curtain in a Mrs. Claus costume complete with black thigh highs.

His eyes went wide. 

“Wh-“

“This is just one of the many costume changes I’ll be doing for the show,” she said quickly, playing with the bottom hem of her dress, “we’re a shoo-in for regionals, right?”

“Annie, you too?” he asked, stepping forward, more confused now than ever, “this is beneath you!  You are an intelligent woman.  Also, you’re Jewish!”

“I guess I have a lot to learn about holiday tradition then,” she said innocently enough, while putting a boa around her shoulders.  She began to shimmy against the curtain as she started singing, “teach me how to understand Christmas.”

“Annie…”

She moved to the fabric cart and pushed it over towards him, before grabbing a bolt of fabric and holding it in front of her pubic bone, “show me how to open a box.”

“Annie…stop…”

“It hurts my little head, when I’m lying in my bed, with visions of sugar plum socks?” she sang.

“Is this a bit?”

“Teach me how to understand Christmas,” she smiled, walking him back to the chair and sitting him down.  She wrapped her boa around his shoulders and stepped between his legs, “do I trim the tree, or the deer?  I can’t keep it straight, and now it’s getting late.  Where do the stockings go?  HERE?  I can’t see!”

She put the stocking over her head, before pulling it up into a hat, “what’s a Christmas eve? Is that Santa’s lady?  Or snowmen cold or hot?  Won’t you be my daddy, I’m a silly Christmas baby.  Tell me what to deck, hehe.  Cause I forgot.”

“Annie, get off…I’m with Tawney!” he said firmly, shifting so that he pushed her off his lap. 

“OOOF!” she hmphed, falling to the floor.  She turned around and crawled on her hands and knees, bucking as she went, “brain hurty undie-stand-y Cwistmas.  Mistletoe for eaty taste good?”

“Annie stop!” Jeff demanded, slapping the mistletoe out of her hands.

“You smarty, me dumb! Help pwetty have fun.  Boopy doopy doop boop sex!” she exclaimed, grabbing the front of his head and pulling it towards her chest while she straddled his leg. 

“Eventually you hit a point of diminishing returns on sexiness.”

“What’s a dimini-“ she began, but ended up babbling as she played with the hem of her dress once more.

“Annie…this isn’t working on me…” he sighed, gently guiding her back off his leg, “I-I’m with Tawney.  She’s my girlfriend, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I-I’m in love, and I don’t want anyone else other than her.  I’m in love with her!  And you can’t break that up, or try to get me to join Glee Club with some half-witted attempt of sex appeal…”

Annie stared at him blankly as he stood up and he removed his hands from her, “you’re a sweet girl…but this-it’s not what I want.”

Jeff sighed contentedly as his arms pulled you even closer.

“Jeff…I-I have to go…”

“But baby, it’s cold outside…” he hummed against your ear.  You closed your eyes, and snuggled into him, not entirely wanting to leave yourself.

“I really must go!”

“Baby, it’s cold outside!” he hummed yet again, pressing a series of kisses down your throat.  Your eyes opened as you realized he wasn’t just responding to you.

He was singing. 

You could hear him humming the melody.

“Jeff…”

“Mind if I move in closer?”

“Jeffrey…ar-are you singing?”

He continued to hum happily against your side.

You didn’t want to fall into it. 

But the warmth of his fireplace against you, combined with the warmth radiating off him.  It almost seemed like too much. 

His lips covered yours as you whispered your answer and began to hum along to his melody. 

“We’re a shoo-in for regionals, Tawney…”

Egregiupsaltes

“EGREGIUPSALTES-He is an infernal Duke of immense power and appeareth akin to a man with red skin and horns extending from his ears and chin. He causeth all who surround the summoner to engage in song, dance and other such merriment for as long as the summoner can bindeth him and provides inspiration and talent in the arts of musical composition and stage performance. He is capable of pushing men to reveal hidden secrets that they would otherwise keep concealed. He governeth 20 Legions of Spirits and is summoned by a seal imprinted upon a talisman. Knoweth this should ye summon him: Egregiupsaltes, while oft of good humor, demandeth burnt offerings. If they are not received any personages around thee may be compelled to dance until they burn. Egregiupsaltes also doth from time to time demand a bride, whom he shalt take to his realm if he is given one.”

-Excerpt from De Vermis Mysteriis by Ludvig Prinn, 1269

“NEW YORK, NEW YORK-NYPD sources have confirmed that popular nightclub singer Reno Sweeney was found dead in her apartment this morning at the age of 42. Sweeney, a former evangelist and ex-fiancé of British Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, was found burned to death. The circumstances of Sweeney’s death closely mirror the circumstances surrounding the demise of champion gambler Sky Masterston two years ago, though the cause of Masterton’s death likewise remains a mystery. Sweeney’s funeral is scheduled for next Sunday.”

-Obituary for Reno Sweeney found in the Daily Bugle, April 17th, 1939

“Yes folks, you’ve got trouble! Right here in River City! And that trouble is Satanism! I have found proof—definitive proof—that members of this town have been consorting with dark forces! I want to assure you fine folks that I will work tirelessly to uncover who is responsible for unleashing dark forces on your fair community, so long as I draw breath!”

-Excerpt from a sermon by Reverend Elmer Gantry, 1921

“Blue Rose Case #046-Localized Musical Phenomenon. Seem to manifest in close proximity to teenaged populations (see Rydell High School and Jets-Sharks incidents files). Potential ties to the music of Conrad Birdie under investigation but remain unconfirmed. Known impact on Agent Everett Scott in course of 1959 investigation into alien phenomena. Dr. Scott’s opinion is that aliens in question may venerate a particular infernal entity possessing the ability to create this.”

-Excerpt from a briefing memo sent by UIU Agent Kent Mansley to FBI Director J. Henry Lux, 1961

“The immolation of the gigantic Triffid responsible for terrorizing New York is still under active investigation by authorities. As of this time, police and federal officials remain uncertain as to how it was that the entity formerly known as Audrey II met its demise. Initial rumors that the Justice League was responsible for doing so have been debunked.

Speaking of which, as the Triffid invasion seems to be cast into memory alongside the Mollusc, Kanamit and Furon attacks, we are continuing our efforts to encourage people to help people find missing loved ones. If you are in the Baltimore area and see this woman—Penny Lou Pingleton—please contact the number you see before you…”

-Broadcast by Howard Beale on UBS Evening News, March 16, 1962

“My father’s papers have concealed within them some most foul and infernal documents. I have chosen to destroy them rather than let future generations be forced to confront his mistakes. The ring he had given Anna…was that a token of affection or a curse he sought to pass off? Either way I have ordered it buried in a remote part of Indochina. Hopefully it stays buried.”

-Excerpt from the diary of Thai King Chulalongkorn, written in December of 1868

“No, please, I can get you more sacrifices! I was able to give you a busload before, remember? NOOOO!! AGGGH!”

-Last words of Cory Radison, 2011

“SCP-7172 is not solely responsible for localized musical phenomena. It is estimated that at least 40% of LMPs occur due to the radiation of dimensional energies from the Land of Oz in areas where the boundaries between worlds wear thin for instance. However, SCP-7172 is responsible for a very high number of instances of LMPs including documented instances in:

-Albuquerque, New Mexico, centered on East High School. No casualties documented.

-Salt Lake City, Utah-Centered on the Latter-Day Saints Church Missionary Training Center, effects followed several elders on missions to Uganda, Japan and Norway. 3 casualties documented (2 in Norway, 1 in Japan)

-Cladwell, New Mexico-Effects were felt by the entirety of town. Notably SCP-7172’s impacts were indirectly responsible for the Water Riots of 2011 and the subsequent destruction of the town. Direct casualties: 6 Indirect Casualties: 732.”

“Hehehe, Ol’ Jack hasn’t got anything on me. My sweet muse, my sweet aide, he accepts my blood offerings as good as the fire. And he helps me stay clear of Mr. Noose—more’n he did for Mr. Todd, eh?

Warmest regards,

Mack the Knife.”

-Letter from Mack the Knife to London Police, sent 1890

🎵 Assassins, kitties, prophets—I’ve got range

I made Romans indulge in styles quite strange.

Even if they don’t know all the arts,

Everyone has a song in their hearts.

Theatre troupes, AIDs patients, naval ships,

Revolutionaries, newsboys, even SQUIPS.

I strip away every shred of their doubt

Take that energy, and let it all out. 🎵

Watching Regional Holiday Music..

Mr. Rad says “Annie or Shirley for the lead” but then Abed is the one who has a solo, and he gives that solo away to Britta.

So was Abed the lead? If so, how did Abed become the lead?

Angel: Lorne (Andy Hallet), bi/pan/polyromantic asexual

Andy Hallett, the actor who played Lorne on Angel, was quoted as saying that while it was never officially established, the character was probably asexual.

Are you bothered by the fact that Lorne doesn’t have a love life? No, not at all. Because that’s me too, that’s the way I am in my regular life, so I don’t imagine playing someone who has to deal with a relationship. [Later] It’s meant to be ambiguous. Like Ricky Martin. He’s just got a lot of love for everybody. It was suppose to be this character that has the ability to just live and love. 

The Black Donnellys: Kevin Donnelly (Billy Lush)

“I have never seen a more asexual kid in my life.”

Community: Cory Radison (Taran Killam)

“Maybe it’s nothing.”  “Yeah, if ‘nothing’ wears a sweater vest and seems aggressively asexual.”

Huge: Poppy (Zoe Jarman), aromantic asexual

“I basically identify as asexual.  It’s just how I am.”

Robin Hood: Much (Sam Troughton), heteromantic or aromantic asexual

“[Much is] asexual, really, that's why the Kate thing was so weird.”

“He even goes so far to say that Much only likes "the idea of Kate", and that Much is "asexual."”

Shadowhunters: Raphael Santiago (David Castro), aromantic asexual or gray-aromantic asexual

‘Shadowhunters’ Confirms Raphael Is Asexual, Stays In Canon With Book Series

“I’m just asexual, Brian, I don’t march in parades or anything.” 

The Tick: The Tick (Patrick Warburton)
