[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]

[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!

I seen this, back home. They don't stop 'til ya prove ya got bigger teeth than they do. They don't stop with a 'please sir, leave us alone'. They don't stop with a 'let's all get along'.

[He's... yeah, okay. This is what pushed him over the edge. He picks up a big stick in his bare hand and watches it wither to ashes.]

They don't stop, 'til ya make 'em.

[showbizpanache]

It won't work.

They have the power, the resources. They'll twist this into--into some bizarre uprising, like we're terrorizing them or something-- We're giving them more reasons to hate us, don't you understand?

[southernreaper]

Ain't no different than home. Hated an' feard 'cause we ain't somethin' they like. We ain't got no choice but that don't mean nothin' t'them.

[He smirks. It's not a nice smirk.]

They want a reason t'hate us. Maybe it's time we gave 'em one. Back home, a single mutant held the world, the universe hostage, t'make 'em give us a chance at livin' normal lives. An' then they bombed us. I ain't givin' 'em a chance here t'do that.

Maybe they should fear the reaper.

[showbizpanache]

They won't. They have more power over us than we'll ever have over them. This is foolish, rash and completely counterproductive.

[Kevin snickers.]

Boy, we're on the side o' angels.

[Click. ... This is what happens when the boy is addicted to his powers and to voiding not only doesn't get the fix he needs, but also loses his temper. they touched his friends and nothing anyone says will stop him. ... Well, there's a few people who could. Too bad they're not on the island, huh?]
