[ Our model Kurt Hummel wears Alexander McQueen pyjama pants in "dark denim", a loose plain white tshirt from Urban Outfitters, and thick grey knitted socks. In fact, he looks a lot like he just climbed out of a bed in a fashion catalogue. But a little more distressed: he's pressing a hand to his temple, his lips tight and his eyes shut. ]

[ But he opens them to look at the Forge: not an accidental broadcast after all. His high, feminine voice is petulant. ]

Great. Just great. I hope you're happy, whoever you are.

[ One hand gestures down the length of his body as if to indicate his headstrong dissatisfaction with his current attire. ]

Next time you decide to drug me and kidnap me to some sleazy motel, couldja at least let me pack a change of clothes?

[ He folds his arms, scowling, and lifts his upturned nose. ]

I don't know if this is because of my father or sectionals or some sort of ... creepy ... sex ... thing, but you have officially ruined the most perfect night of my life, and no amount of retro-design cellphones or wrinkle-removal creme is going to fix it.

[ An ugh noise, and under his breath: ]

At least Christine Daaé got singing lessons out of the deal.

[So, not only does Kurt show up in Anatole, but he shows up in that?

Wait.

Still waiting.

It's starting to sink in]

Kurt! You're here too.

[hummel]

[ He's just fortunate he wears so many clothes to bed. Even when it's a bed with Blaine in it. Not that that's really a discussion he plans to have with Finn soon or hopefully ever. ]

Well, don't look too excited about it.

[thequarterback]

[Finn gets wanting to wear layers of clothing, but he's still not sure he believes that Kurt wears quite that much to bed. Doesn't that get uncomfortable?]

I'm not. I mean, having you here is cool and all, but it kinda sucks that you are here, stuck like the rest of us.

[hummel]

At least it's with the rest of you. I really thought I'd been kidnapped by that guy from that movie I could only watch the first twenty minutes of.

[thequarterback]

Yeah, that's what I thought when I first got here too.

[hummel]

So uh... how long have you been here? Because I could swear you were meant to be going to Artie's after party at Breadsticks.

[thequarterback]

The one after the West Side Story thing?

[Wait, he actually knows what Kurt's talking about. Well enough, too]

I'd sorta been thinking about sitting that one out anyway.

[A pause]

I've been here for about a month.

[hummel]

That one exactly. Not that I went. I hope someone went, though.

[ A pause, considering. ]

Poor Artie.

[ It is an effective distraction from HOW CAN IT BE A MONTH, FINN, I SAW YOU YESTERDAY. ]

So what's it like, here is the fair city of Anatolé?

[thequarterback]

Rachel didn't go either. Everyone else probably went though.

[Maybe? Probably]

So far it's been, I don't know, not terrible? I mean, this isn't home, and I sorta miss mom and Burt, but I guess it's not so bad?

[LOOK HE DOESN'T GET IT EITHER! They're from the same ~timeline. But Finn's been here for a month. It doesn't make sense]

[hummel]

[ Awkward-casual, ]

Blaine didn't either.

[ Which is both the leads. Poor Artie. ]

But that's relieving. Sure, a new place, far from home is gonna have its downsides. But if Dorothy could persevere in Oz, I'm sure we'll do just fine.

[thequarterback]

Funny. I figured Blaine would definitely go. You know, remind everyone that he was the lead or something.

Well, whatever. You're right though. We'll probably do just fine. I mean, it hasn't been all that bad so far.
