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.

I think there are some people around here who have some sort of a music group. You should try bugging them sometime.

[righttrack]

Oh, really? I think I'll do just that.

[secondchances]

Pretty sure they're still around, at least. I don't know if they had much to do with singing, but I guess you could always start your own thing here if you wanted.

[righttrack]

I'll find out! Starting something might be fun.

What's your name, if I may?

[secondchances]

People here could always use more things to do.

Stephanie Brown. I'm pretty fond of scarves, too.

[righttrack]

Hello, Stephanie. That's excellent to hear.

[secondchances]

I like talking, too. Let's pick a subject.

[righttrack]

Where are you from?

[secondchances]

Gotham. Not too far from New York, actually.

[Though she doubts that will ring a bell. It rarely does, these days.]

[righttrack]

Hmmm... I don't know it.

What's it like?

[secondchances]

Figures. Happens a lot, here. It existed in your world, you'd know it.

It's sort of like New York, just with a lot more crime, grime, and a lot more abandoned everythings. It's part of the charm.

[righttrack]

Yes, I'm getting exposed to some very interesting cultures here, I'll give the castle that much.

Interesting charm. [A chuckle.]

[secondchances]

Paradisa definitely has that sort of interesting charm, too. Lots of different folks here.

[righttrack]

That's very true. Do you know Violet? She was telling me about how interesting it can be to learn about things here...

[secondchances]

No, but I feel like I should since purple is the best color.

But she's right. For example, those two bickering up there happen to be from the Renaissance. I've learned a lot about that part of history, way better than any textbook.

I also feel like I should apologize for them, but they're not my kids. They're adults. I swear.

[righttrack]

Purple is a good color. I prefer red.

Oh, yes, I... Noticed them. Don't worry about it. It's certainly interesting.

[secondchances]

Then you and Lucrezia will be good friends.

Interesting is the word of the day.

[righttrack]

I look forward to it.

And yes, it seems to be.

[secondchances]

She's one of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet, so I hope so.

Or maybe word of the every day ever here, but hey.

[righttrack]

I'm glad we already seem to be getting along, then.

True. Very true.
