Hi, everybody! I happen to be a new arrival here but I've been here for a few days, so I think it's about time I introduced myself. My name's Blaine.

But that's not the only reason why I wanted to introduce myself. Everybody on the Tranquility can hear this, right? See, I'm looking for some friends of mine. It's kind of a long list, so I thought it would be better just to show you.

[Hence, he holds up a photo to the feed.]

Now not everybody I'm looking for is in this photo. Their names are Joe, Rory, and Sugar. Joe has really long dreads and Rory is Irish, so you'd probably recognize them easily. Sugar is...um, money. Anyway, if you've seen any of them, I'd really appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks!

— Oh, and New Directions, if any of you guys are here, give me a call?

[ There's a 17 year old speaking on the other end. Doesn't sound like anyone from Blaine's homeworld, and yet-- ]

We need to meet. Now.

Relax, Broadway, just want to bump gums. We're not drinking from the same bottle but I'm not going to play any chinmusic on the guy.

Just so you know, I read the FAQ and know how to call security.

So don't even think about trying anything funny.

[jfc rachel somehow he should have expected this]

Rachel, it's fine. Let me handle this.

1/2 fuck me

[showbizpanache]

[What.

No. Nonononono nope nope nope.

Kurt is immediately fractured into a thousand emotions--just a few of which are shock, hope, anger, happiness, fear, resentment and dread. It's like he's feeling just about every emotion there is to feel right now, which is why he doesn't reply right away. He just sort of stares at the mobile device as if frozen, torn between hoping this isn't a dream and wishing it was.]

[showbizpanache]

[Tears fill his eyes and he sets down the device for a while, pacing around, holding his hand to his mouth. This can't be happening. Not now. Why. Why, why, why.

He feels sick. He feels alone. He wants to scream. He wants to run to Blaine and throw his arms around him and sock him in the face at the same time.

He doesn't. Instead he finally sits down and picks up the device again, switching it on. Quickly he scrubs the tears out of his eyes then takes a deep breath, turning on the video feed. He can do this oh god I can't do this--]

Blaine. Hi.

[vindicating]

Your friends? I can't say that I've seen them but if they are here they'll see your message.

[UM. OKAY. Cooper is here. He wasn't expecting that. Maybe he should feel some guilt that he didn't include his own brother on that list.]

Coop! You're...also here!

[heltersskelter]

Did you find Kurt?

[hairgels]

[going to assume this is after the Kurt conversation so he looks like a kicked puppy]

Yeah... Yeah. You know Kurt?

[video]

[biffail]

One of your friends is...money? Is that like, secret code or something?

[video]

[hairgels]

You'd know what I mean if you met her. Sugar is, for lack of a better word, Sugar.

[showmance]

Blaine! [ Somehow she is way more excited to see you than your boyfriend. ] I think only Kurt and I are here — other than you, of course — but if anyone else was hiding, I'm sure they'll see this. [ Because she read the faq, guys. She knows everything now. (No, she doesn't.) ]

I'm so glad you're all right.

[hairgels]

[tell him about it ;o; But anyway, Blaine is relieved to see Rachel. Hopefully somebody will be normal about this whole situation!!]

Rachel! Kurt said you were here. You look good.

[Blaine's grinning but he doesn't look too excited or eager. In fact his grin gets smaller and smaller by the second until it's just a tight line of concern.]

So you've talked to Kurt already? Do you mind if I ask you something? Did he... Did Kurt seem off to you? I think something might be going on.

[theyalldieforme]

You're Kurt's-

[Well. Not anymore.]

[hairgels]

[why would you remind him ;A;]

Yes. — I mean, I don't know. I think so. I thought so.

You're...?

video;

[lacksgrace]

Yeah, I know one of 'em. [ And he probably doesn't want to know how, let's be honest here. ] But I don't know why I should help you. What do I get out of it?

video;

[hairgels]

[bells you can't just not help people das rood

Blaine isn't expecting a response like that but alright. If that's what it takes to find out who's here.]

Um... Okay, well what do you want?

[ringbearer]

You know Kurt?
[ have a small, somewhat tired looking thing peering into the screen curiously. ]

[hairgels]

[OH W O W covering his mouth with his hands because he can't believe this]

Oh my god, no way. Elijah Wood? You know Kurt?

[cons]

[ wow. well. this was. interesting. she almost feels bad for the kid. okay, not almost. she does. so finally, after a bit, she turns on her feed, encrypts their transmission, and tries not to wince too much. ]

... Welcome to the Tranquility?

[All the shit has blown over by this point, so he just sounds really small and defeated.]

Thanks, I guess...
