track 04: come see about me (written)

[righttrack]

[So, Harry's last broadcast really shook Kurt. But it shook him right out of his shell, and he's finally ready to talk to Paradisa.]

I haven't been as social here as I should be. I didn't want to be, because that felt like giving in.

But I'm here, for now. And I have to deal with it.

My name is Kurt Hummel. I'm a 19 year old intern for vogue.com. I was a member of my high school glee club. It was the best time of my life, and in my senior year we won Nationals. I was also the first openly gay student at my high school in Lima, Ohio. I love scarves and cars and hospital dramas. Or any kind of drama, really. My best friends are girls named Rachel Berry and Mercedes Jones, even if I don't talk to Mercedes as much as I used to. I used to hate both of them. I live in New York with Rachel right now. I'm not in college, currently. Patti Lupone is my idol. My father is my hero.

Fashion and music are my life.

I'm not sure what else to say, but if anyone wants to talk, I'd like that.

Dictated

[i_got_this]

Hey. You got anything you want to talk about in particular, or should we just wing it?

[South Dakota would love to talk to someone who's not her team right now. She's sort of fed up with them after they all went crazy with sins.]

dictated forever!

[righttrack]

[There's a sigh, but it's tired rather than frustrated.]

Winging it sounds good.

ditto! :)

[i_got_this]

Okay, I can do that ... but let's please not talk about viruses or sick people. I've had enough of that.

So, when was it in your Ohio?

:)

[righttrack]

That definitely works for me.

2012. When are you from?

[i_got_this]

[South can't help but chuckle. It's the little moments like this she lives for.]

[She rattles off a number sufficiently in the 26th century vague canon is vague and sounds immensely proud of it.] Although I haven't been to Earth in a while.

So what was it like, back in the medieval times?

[righttrack]

Wow, that... Really put things in perspective. Are you serious?

[i_got_this]

Hell yeah. I'm an Agent in an elite military project, been living on a frigate out in space hunting down Insurrectionists. We got a few colony worlds and they're trying to take over so we have to put them down, you know? [preen preen preen]

[righttrack]

Slow down a second there. What are Insurrectionists?

[i_got_this]

The Innies, yeah. See, we got translight enginges now and can travel between stars, so we started colonizing them, except now there are some out there who don't want to be ruled by the UNSC anymore and they're being assholes about it and killing lots of people. Like, by the millions.

Oh, and there's a bunch of aliens who want to wipe out humanity, too, but we didn't really fight them.

[righttrack]

...

Wow.

Sounds like you kept busy.

[i_got_this]

Yeah, pretty much.

So, you and ancient Ohio. Tell me what that was like? I talked to this other guy about vegetable sheep, what crazy things do you still believe in? [What South is failing to mention is the sheep guy is from the 1500's. It all feels ancient to her.]

[righttrack]

Oh, well... I have no idea what you mean by vegetable sheep.

It's... Pretty ordinary in Lima. A bit behind the times in terms of treating people equally. Maybe more than a bit.

[i_got_this]

Oh, well then you're a step above he is. That's good to know.

Yeah? They still freak out about women in the military? [She sounds amused, wondering what they'd think of her with her scars and full body armor.]

[righttrack]

I'm glad.

Honestly, people freak about women doing a lot of things. So yes.

[i_got_this]

Well, don't worry. It gets better.

[righttrack]

I'm really glad to hear that.

[i_got_this]

Hey, glad I could bring some good news.

You know, asides from ... civil war and genocide.

[righttrack]

...Right. I think I almost forgot that part for a moment.

[i_got_this]

Yeah, it's not something that's going to leave me anytime soon.

[righttrack]

Of course not.

[i_got_this]

So what's this glee club all about?

[righttrack]

Singing!

[i_got_this]

What, like karaoke?

[righttrack]

Well... Not really. More theatrical.

[i_got_this]

Oh, so ... musical ... theatre?

[This is the kind of girl that spent her highschool years getting drunk at parties, most likely.]
