shout when you wanna get off the ride

[Sigh.] An unfortunate turn of events. And what a storm, too. I mean, trees fell? Is everyone okay?

...Well, at least it gives me some extra time to go through my lines, and rehearse the musical number. But first I need coffee. A caramel frappe, to be specific. Extra high both in caffeine and in sugar. Because Claudia is hyper. Anyone wanna join me?

[OOC: Claudia is Amanda Lee Corsini. Professionally known as "Amanda Lee", but informally referred to as "Mandy" (or, if you're a close friend, "Panda"). Obviously she's brand-spankin'-new to this cast. This is her first studio gig, previously she's only been in theater. Mostly musical theater. She's a dork but is trying very, very hard to hide it, and fit in, and be celebrity-grade "cool". But by entering the world of television, she's basically left all of her former friends behind (her theater group), so she's really very lost. And she's constantly got her head in a magazine for style tips. (At least when in public, alone she's more likely to be reading Steampunk-y action stories. Or mystery novels, particularly ones that star a deceptively intelligent feline.)]
