[Kurt's soft, high-pitched voice pipes up, breathy and energetic as usual, and he sounds like he always does. The only difference between this post and his usual ones, really, is the fact that it's not a video-- But that could be for all sorts of reasons, right? Right.]

It was quite startling, to have to fix our Darkness-proofing this morning! It's lucky I wake up so early, really, or I might have missed it. [A small laugh.] I wouldn't eat any of those Skittles, though, as tempting as they may be.

[Avoiding the issue, avoiding the issue...] Anyway, I-- I apologize for not answering calls over the weekend. I've been very busy. It's never my intention to worry anyone, so I apologize.

Especially you, Ms. Vesper-- I'm terribly sorry. Can I take a rain check on that coffee?

Yes, of course. We've received reports as to what happened... I'm sure you'll understand that we need to take some precautions.

That said, there are some things you will need to do, to keep this job.

[showbizpanache]

[Well, that's unexpected.]

Yes?

[rapturescreed]

I am making a strong suggestion that you seek professional mental health. We cannot afford any emotional issues get in the way of the work we are doing, and I believe it may be of help, considering all that you have been through.

'Emotional issues'?

[He bites back a snippy retort.]

I'm fine, sir. I'm perfectly capable of doing my job.

[rapturescreed]

Yes. Emotional issues.

Like I said, this is a strong suggestion. I would hate to have you take some time off right at the beginning. This way, you wouldn't have to take any days off.

[He sighs, and resigns himself; he has no energy to argue right now.]

I'll...look into it.

[rapturescreed]

I have a few names, if you'd like to come in and get the list. [Awkward time is a go.]

I am... glad you are okay, Mr. Hummel.
