Hello, everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Sorry for not checking in for a while, things have been...rather hectic.

[And he looks harried as hell to prove it. Wedding planning is hard okay especially when it's in the middle of some time travel bullshit. Have a sweet smile, though.]

Most of you are already aware, but if not-- Blaine and I have our wedding scheduled for February the 22nd at four o'clock, with the reception at the Luxe immediately following. Those invited will be receiving formal invitations with details any day now. I know there's been a lot going on lately, but... I really hope you'll all attend.

[A breath, and he really sounds stressed now.] And I know the invitations are a bit late coming, but I wanted them to be on separate stock than the save-the-dates, but it took me forever to find the right ones and have enough copies made, and I wanted to use a specific typecase as well which also took forever to pick out... [He rambles on, obviously nervous.]

I'm sorry. I've organized so many weddings, just not--my wedding. My. Wedding. [And he just rests his cheeks in his hands, taking a deep breath, looking overwhelmed.] Oh god...

[So here's a Kurt looking much different than he has in the past few months. He's bright, energetic, and practically glowing. He looks just a touch guilty, though, as he focuses the camera on his face.]

Blaine's at work, but I just couldn't wait, I'm sorry--

[He holds up his hand and wiggles his finger, showing off his ring, which is now inset with brand new precious stones. He bounces up and down a little.] I'm engaged! We're engaged! Officially! [Finally.]

I'll be planning the wedding, of course, but I can't even think about it right now-- [He has tears in his eyes again. Seriously, he's been happy-crying on and off since last night.] I just can't. I'm too happy!

[He brushes a tear asway.] I'm just so happy.

[Kurt's at the mall food court, surrounded by bags of what are more than likely girl's clothes. He left first thing in the morning before Blaine woke up, leaving a note. And now... Well, there's only so much time he can blow before he has to go home and face his boyfriend.]

U-um. Hello. It's Kurt.

Does anyone-- I need some advice.

What am I supposed to tell my boyfriend?

[Kurt is at the Community Center, looking well-dressed and businesslike. He has placed his NV in front of him and speaks cordially into it.]

I'm afraid this is a tad belated, but I'd still like to extend my greetings to any and all new arrivals in the Port. I'm Kurt Hummel, assistant director of your Newcomer Community Center, and I'd like to--

[He's cut off by noise and laughter. A group of teenagers can be seen at the window, messing around with the Darkness proofing and attempting to vandalize the Center. Kurt has an unreadable expression as he pulls away and calmly steps outside.

Once he's out there, a gunshot can he heard. He's fired one into the sky.]

GET OUT! YOUR MOTHERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU! GO HOME AND DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU HERE AGAIN, YOU LITTLE--

[They scatter, and he calmly re-holsters his pistol and walks back over to the camera. He straightens his clothes and sits back down.]

As I was saying, welcome. If you have any questions about life in the Port or our status as Newcomers in general, don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you!

If I hear about that dead Hunter one more time I'm going to lose it. There is a man you should all be mourning-- His name is Franz d'Epinay.

I'm getting really sick of how backwards this place is.

[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]

showbizpanache

[It's Kurt's second post within a relatively short while. It's video this time--and he looks put-together, crisp and diplomatic. He clears his throat delicately before speaking.]

First of all, it seems we've received some new arrivals. I'm Kurt Hummel-- And as assistant director of the Newcomer Community Center, I'd like to welcome you all, and encourage you to come by the Center if you need any assistance or wish to lend a hand toward our cause. If you have any questions about the Port or our objectives as a community, please don't hesitate to ask.

[A pause, and he looks uneasy.]

Second of all, I-- I didn't really publicly acknowledge it before, but... I was among those hunted last weekend, and--and I don't find it prudent to deny that anymore.

I am currently working with the NPP to mobilize our forces to do whatever we can to pursue justice--but in the meantime, I think it's more important than ever that we work as a community. To pursue individual acts of revenge is futile and dangerous to our survival here in the Port. I ask that everyone involved remain open to the idea of releasing an official statement to the mainstream media about what happened-- And for all Newcomers, even those who have just arrived, to commit as much time and energy as you can afford to contributing your support. Any donation--whether it's money, time, or lending a few moments to talk to someone--it all counts.

[He hesitates.] I know this may be shocking to some of you, but I think it's better if you all see this before I show anyone else. [Slowly he sets the NV down and pushes up one sleeve. Though he doesn't appear to be in pain (thanks to Michael), his arm still looks absolutely terrible--a skinned, mangled, hideous mess.] This is what those hunters did to us, among worse things. I'm showing you all because you're all part of this community we have built here as Newcomers, and you should all be as disgusted and incensed as I am--along with Ms. Mary, and Gohan, and Mercy, and all the Newcomers who have ever faced violence and prejudice here in the Port.

[Hastily he pushes the sleeve back down.] Let's fix this together. This can't happen again. It won't. Not if we work together.

Thank you.

[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?

[Here's Kurt, looking much healthier than before, though still a bit scrawny and pale from the illness. His attitude is bright and cheery, though, and he offers a big smile.]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all feeling better. This is my obligatory 'checking-in' entry-- Please let me know how you're all doing, if you can spare a moment. Things really have been insane lately, and not even in the interesting reality t.v. way. [Clears his throat.]

Which brings me to my second point. As Mr. Creed previously announced, the NPP Block Party is taking place this coming weekend. So many people are stepping in to help, and I want to thank each and every one of you. It's not to late to sign up, though, if anyone else wishes to promote their business or offer a hand.

[He clasps his hands together and looks hopeful.] I sort of see this festival as an opportunity for the Newcomer community to come together and kind of...prove our worth here in the Port, if that makes sense. Maybe it'll help resolve some of the tension between us and the other citizens, if we can mingle and celebrate together--and even if it doesn't, it'll still be fun.

Feel free to approach me or Mr. Creed with any questions you may have. I hope to see you all there!

[Here's Kurt a little more world-weary than before, but completely recognizable now. He looks calm, peaceful, like he'd just accepted something. He's also draped in an over-large leather jacket that looks frankly bizarre on him, but he doesn't seem to care.]

So I... I'm back.

That is to say, my memories have returned. The funny thing is that--when they did? The first thing I thought about was the Out of the Darkness Project. More specifically, the fact that I haven't made an entry of my own yet.

I hadn't wanted to. It seems rather narcissistic, honestly. But now that I think about it, I think I just avoided it because I was scared. Scared of being vulnerable, I suppose. But... I think I can do it now. So--here goes.

[He clears his throat, curling up his legs, perching on the couch in his apartment.]

[It isn't hard to notice the boy splashing around the streets of Sector 4 that afternoon. Maybe it's because he's wearing bright red jeans that look painted on and isn't carrying an umbrella--or maybe it's because he's wearing a look of fear and confusion, and that's a bit unusual for someone who uses this route to get to work every day.

He finds a place to sit and fiddles with the NV until the video feed clicks on.]

Hello-- Hello? Is this working? Is this like a phone? Can anyone see me?

[He swallows hard.]

I don't know where I am. What's happening? Someone said this is Canada-- That can't be real, that's absolutely impossible. I wasn't here a minute ago, I was--

[Some more people pass by and he lowers his voice. He brushes a hand through his hair, clearing his throat, trying to appear calm.] I was with my boyfriend. His name is Blaine. Please, we--we need to get home. I would be very, very grateful to anyone who can tell me where he is. Where I am, for that matter.

Thank you--in advance. Thank you. If anyone's actually... I don't even know what I'm doing.

[He sets the NV down and curls up in a ball on the bench, the rain pattering around him.]

[Kurt looks...like shit. The only reason he's doing video is so he doesn't have to speak up to be heard over Voice. The 'little head cold' he said he has turns out to be a big, kind of shitty head cold. He sniffs before talking to the camera.]

I haven't been sick since I was in middle school. I exercise every day. I eat healthy food, I avoid unnecessary human contact, I take vitamin supplements every day before my morning skin care routine... Ugh. [He sneezes.]

Well, the show must go on, as they say.

Good evening, everyone. First of all I'd like to thank everyone who has submitted something to the Out of the Darkness project thus far. Submissions are open indefinitely, so I strongly encourage everyone to consider making a post and to spread the word as much as possible.

Secondly, the Community Center has been offered as a location to hold support group meetings for those who have suffered losses in the Port. If anyone is still interested, please let me know what day and time suits you best, so we can coordinate a schedule.

[He takes a breath.] Now, without further ado, here are today's Out of the Darkness submissions. The second submission mentions suicide, so please bear that in mind before reading.

[Back to Kurt.]

Feel free to respond with your own messages, or discuss what the messages mean to you. Thanks again to all of you for making this happen. You're all so brave and generous. And I can't stress enough how important this is.

[Kurt has been off for quite a while now--so it seems as though nothing has changed, not really. When he starts to speak though, it's in this falsely smooth, oddly controlled tone of voice. His face is very pale.]

Recently, Blaine made a post about a movement from our home called It Gets Better. To reiterate, it's a way in our world for people to reach out to one another via the Internet to share experiences and assist in the prevention of suicide for LGBT youths. I'm pleased to inform you all that he and I are establishing a similar program here in the Port, hereby named the Out of the Darkness Project.

[He presses his lips together for a moment.] If anyone would like to share their experiences with finding light in dark times--whether here or at home, and for any audience, LGBT or otherwise--please send your videos, texts, and audio posts to me or Blaine Anderson. One of us will broadcast it for you. Hopefully this increased communication between Newcomers will assist with the day-to-day tribulations of living in the Port.

That said, I... [A deep breath.] I'd like to add something else to this. I've been considering creating a support group of sorts for those who have lost people here in the Port, to the Darkness or otherwise. I'm not a therapist by any means, but just to have a group of people with similar experiences to confide in... I think it would be beneficial for a lot of us. I was thinking the Newcomer Memorial might be a nice place to hold meetings. If anyone is interested or has any suggestions, feel free to let me know.

[Pause.]

The Darkness is... It's a lot of things. I'm aware of its origin, literally, but... I sort of think of it as the opposite of It Gets Better. It's everything in the world that no one can escape, those evil things that happen to good people, the absence of light and hope. It can't ever go away, but we can choose to live above it. So please, if you can...consider making a video to contribute to our project. We all have our differences, but when you break it down, we are all in this mess together. Let's start acting like it.

Thank you for your time.

If anyone has seen or heard anything from Blaine Anderson please let me know. He has been missing for more than a day now.

He hasn't gone home; I know that for sure. I've attached a photo of him for those who haven't previously met him.

Here. His hair is black and curly and he's about 5'7" in height. He was wearing a red Ralph Lauren sweater and cropped jeans.

Thank you.
