[Kurt is usually pretty composed when he posts on the network, but not this time. He looks frantic, exhausted and frankly ill. His head is in his hands, his fingers gripping his usually impeccably-styled hair as he speaks without looking at the camera.]

All of you, please.

Please don't do this. I'm begging you. There has to be something else, there--there just has to be.

[In case it isn't clear what he's talking about... :c]

[Blaine is going to find his boyfriend and just sort of stay with him right now, okay?]

Kurt... I think you need to get off the network.

[showbizpanache]

[His eyes are wide and panicked.]

No, they-- Do you see what they're doing?

[I'm so sorry for this, but Kevin isn't mentally stable and... they took his Avenger, okay?

He's still sitting on the roof, picking at a stick. His finger caresses the stick and it falls to ashes.]

Sometime, ain't no other way. Stay outta it if'n ya wanna. But if'n ya keep bendin' eventually ya gonna break.

[showbizpanache]

This is a terrible idea. The very worst. Please, just think it through!

[reassures]

There is nothing else.

[showbizpanache]

We're not like them.

We can't become like them.

we need to find a way to stop them or they're going to get hurt

[showbizpanache]

We can't fight violence with violence.

We can save them we just have to find some other way

I'll heal all of them if I have to

[vw_coyote]

Do you want some company?

[Don't mind Kurt's boyfriend is going to butt himself up in your business Mercy]

Yes. Come over and help me calm him down. Bring anything you think will help.

[leaderly]

[His voice is strained to keep it even. There's a reason he's not on video right now.]

There is no other way. It's the second time already.

[showbizpanache]

How will this stop them? How?

If anything, they'll use this as justification! Don't you get it?

[Video]

[beenwaitinglong]

Sure, people. Give them a reason to believe all that hateful propaganda they're spreading.

You're absolutely right.

[showbizpanache]

I really hope that isn't sarcasm.

[safeguarded]

[There's a restrained anger in his voice; not at Kurt, but at what's going on again.]

I'm not condoning anything, but what else do you suggest we do?

[showbizpanache]

We have a legal system. We can fight this from within-- That's what we've been doing. We've been working nonstop--

I realize people are missing now, but we mustn't act rashly. There has to be a way we can rescue our friends covertly--without hurting anyone. This has to be done with care, not just some free-for-all.

[He's too stressed out to have this conversation publicly.]

For whatever it's worth, I agree with you. But I don't know how to convince anyone else.

[showbizpanache]

Their heads are made of concrete, apparently.

[Taking his brother's advice and filtering his conversations about this...]

That was said last time as well.

[showbizpanache]

And I was taken last time, remember?

I know how all of you feel. I feel it, too. But we can't let our anger rule us, not like this.

Kurt, your resolve for peace is admirable, but others will do as they will. If you wish to help, I suggest you be prepared for the upcoming day.

[showbizpanache]

How am I supposed to do that? How can anyone prepare for something like this? Any of this?

[She's not going to comment on what she's going to be participating in later.]

You look like you need a good night's sleep free from nightmares.

[showbizpanache]

I don't think sleep is a thing that's happening tonight.

I was all about being better than them, but it isn't doing anything. You know as well as I do how far the law and the media can take us.

We can't do things the right way. They won't give us that choice.

[showbizpanache]

We can keep trying.

[hostage]

Sometimes the best thing you can do is make people scared of you.

[showbizpanache]

[There's a pause.]

You know, if I wanted to? I could open my mouth and kill all those hunters just by singing a few words. It would be so easy. I could sing 'Happy Birthday' and it would skin them all like dogs.

I did it before. Last year, at AfterglowxXx. I injured some patrons so badly they nearly died. And did it stop people from buying slaves and torturing them? No. Not one bit.

And it didn't make me feel any better, either. I just felt like a monster.
