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.

Uh, I donno. Monsters tend to have weird names.

[righttrack]

Okay, you've lost me.

[waterproofed]

Right, I forgot. In my world, monsters are real.

[righttrack]

Lucky you... God...

[waterproofed]

I have the best luck, man.

[righttrack]

Sounds like it...

So they're just, what, everywhere?

[waterproofed]

More or less, but they're attracted to kids like me and my family.

[righttrack]

Kids like you? Am I forgetting something?

[waterproofed]

You studied Greek mythology in school, right? Read about all those ancient heroes who were children of the gods?

... Yeah. I'm one of those guys. Minus the ancient part.

[righttrack]

Are you serious?

Actually, you know what, I shouldn't be surprised by things here anymore.

So... Which God was your parent?

[waterproofed]

Poseidon.

[righttrack]

[...Not Zeus or Hades. So he really doesn't know who that is. WAY TO GO, KURT.]

And he was...?

[waterproofed]

[geez, Poseidon seriously gets no love]

The god of the sea and storms.

[righttrack]

[Kurt also knows most of his Greek Mythology from the Disney version of Hercules. |Db]

Oh! That's exciting.

[waterproofed]

[we do not speak of that okay]

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I made friends with all the horses in the castle stables, and I have a giant squid friend who lives in the pond.

[righttrack]

[XD]

Really? That sounds fun.

[waterproofed]

Yeah, you should stop by to meet him. His name is Alcaeus.

[righttrack]

...What do you say to a giant squid?

[waterproofed]

Just say "hello". He understands human speech, he just doesn't talk like us.

[righttrack]

Really? Well, okay, then. Count me in.

[waterproofed]

Awesome.
