[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 really hope that isn't sarcasm.

[beenwaitinglong]

Who, me? Never.

You are right. One hundred percent correct.

[showbizpanache]

[He's honestly surprised by this.]

Th-thank you.

They hunt and kill Newcomers like animals. So Newcomers respond by acting like animals. How is that not playing precisely into their expectations? Justifying what they've done?

[showbizpanache]

But Mr. Armando, they're not listening. I know they want a solution now, I know that-- Better than anyone! I was hunted too, remember?

I just-- Please, help me convince them. This can't happen, it can't.

[beenwaitinglong]

We can talk until our tongues turn blue, but if they're not listening there's little we can say to convince them. It's hard to derail a stampede.

But deaf ears have never stopped me before.

Iiiii'm assuming godot's been handling legal shit I hope thats okay

[showbizpanache]

How are things going? With pressing charges-- Have we made any progress?

I can revise my statement if you'd like.

Tis fine!

[beenwaitinglong]

Your statement is fine. But I'm not handling it anymore. I had to hand off the case to one of my colleagues. Having a Newcomer prosecute a case like this would come off too biased.

[showbizpanache]

But isn't that--

We should oversee this carefully. Could I meet him?

[beenwaitinglong]

You'll meet him if he decides to call you as a witness. His name is O'Malley. He's a good guy, or I wouldn't have let him take it. I'm keeping my eyes on him.

Provided any of the idiots from this round survive long enough... I'll be handling the next one personally.

[showbizpanache]

I trust you.

Thank you, sir.
