12th ♪ video ♪ jan. 6 (morning)
[ Kurt is sitting at the kitchen table, cup of coffee and his breakfast, half a grapefruit, visible in front of him. There's a copy of the newspaper folded up in one hand, and he's frowning with great uncertainty into the video feed as he puts it down. ]
Pretty grim news these days, if you ask me. Somehow it doesn't seem right doing nothing. I don't want to get swept up in madness, and as much as I hate it...
[ He looks for a moment at the ceiling and gives a huff of a sigh before practically grimacing as he starts to speak again. ] I need a new partner. I tried earlier on but then I stopped after the whole... Gamzee incident. I'm decent with a sword and all right with knives and willing to use whatever other less conventional Weapons are out there. I realize there are better trained Meisters who have more of an idea of what the hell they're doing but if there's anyone willing to try out a mission or two with me, contact me. It's not like I have zero experience, either, just so you know. My previous Weapon and I downed our fair share of kishin eggs...
[ Another deep breath. He's trying not to let it show too much, but Kurt is really nervous about this. He's tired of getting hurt, but maybe if he starts small for once... At least half of the time when he got hurt in the past it was because he was trying to help in too big of a way. Start small. Easier missions. But even easy missions have a certain amount of risk. You just never know, do you?
Kurt shakes his head and tears his eyes away from the video feed before turning it off, but not before one final: ] Thanks.
