[The post turns on, and enough time has passed between when Kurt arrived and now for his panic to turn into livid anger. His hands are firmly attached to his hips and he is not pleased.]

Excuse me, but what am I doing here? To the owner of this mansion - if you had actually requested my services instead of stealing me away like Mr. Ryerson

What will happen to Glee club if we don't get back by the end of the summer?

[thisisherson]

Rachel, for once in your life, don't be so dramatic. Summer isn't even here yet. We'll figure something out before the next school year starts.

[dontrainonmy]

Of course the summer is here, Kurt, what are you talking about?

[thisisherson]

...What are you talking about? We haven't even taken our midterms yet. The Cheerios just had their pep assembly the other day.

You can't leave, but time doesn't pass here like it does at home, so whenever you do manage to go home - it's always random - you'll be home in time for your dad not to worry. Assuming, of course, you weren't late already.

[Well, that's a lot to take in at once.]

[thisisherson]

I wasn't late. My dad wasn't due home for a few hours.

But wait, back up. What do you mean we can't leave? Where are we and why does the passage of time sound like it was ripped from a science fiction novel?

[mashespotatoes]

You can't leave because there's no way to get to whatever home you're from. This is Wonderland, but people from all sorts of different worlds are here.

I suppose that the passage of time does sound reminiscent of a science fiction novel, but that's how it works. Anyway, you've been here once before, but I'm assuming you don't remember that, based on what you've said.

You're Kurt, right?

[trinityaffinity]

I think the mansion looks just fine.

[thisisherson]

The halls are magnificent, from what I've seen, but it clashes with the room I was forced into terribly. That, and whoever decorated this mansion doesn't seem to understand the concept of "less is more" when it comes to mirrors.

[trinityaffinity]

Uh... Yeah, I get what you mean. I think the mirrors are bad though, but no one's told me why.

[thisisherson]

How could mirrors be a bad thing? In excess they're a bit gaudy, but generally speaking mirrors are a crucial part of my day.

[Poland is hanging out in his room, which is very fashionably decorated by 1410 standards. Enjoy talking to a boy who looks even more like an 11-year-old milkmaid than you, Kurt--though at least he's not dressed like one today.]

Huh? Oh, yeah, totes. This is Wonderland, the Queen or the mansion or whatever kidnapped us all, aaaaaaaaaaand we're stuck here. Dude, weren't you like, here before? I totally thought you like, knew all this!

[thisisherson]

[Kurt just stares. Though he has to admit, that room is a very nice retro chic that he can appreciate. ♥]

No, I didn't know any of that. Someone named Germany told me I was here before, but it sounded insane. I don't remember anything about this place, but you're the second person who recognizes me.

...You sound way too cheerful for someone who's been kidnapped.

[reckless_eagle]

[He shrugs.]

Oh, Germany? Yeah, he's like, really not the joking sort, in case you somehow managed not to pick up on that. He was probably for real about whatever he said. And the more I look at your face, the more I'm all "ohmigod, I've totally talked to you!", except I like, can't remember your name. How lame is that?

Anyway, like, if there ever turns out to be anything I can do about it, I'll be all over that whole "trying to get back to my people" thing. 'Til then? I totally make the best of what I've got ♥ Plus, after five months here, it's so not worth throwing fits about all the time. That shit like, gives you wrinkles, you know?

[Video]

[thisisherson]

Very lame. I'm Kurt Hummel. Who are you? I don't recognize you at all.

Ugh. Completely understandable. [He touches his cheeks as though just talking about wrinkles will make them appear. You're never too young to start worrying about the aging of your skin.] But you've really been here that long?

[exploring_game]

Hi Kurt. You came back! I guess you don't remember, huh...

[thisisherson]

Err. ...No, I don't. I take it you're someone else who mysteriously knows who I am?

[exploring_game]

Oh right...uh...I'm Coraline!

You've been in the mansion before. I've seen you around.

[thisisherson]

Nice to meet you. ...Again, I guess.

It's hard to imagine being in this place and then just forgetting about it. It's like meeting Madonna and then forgetting who she is the next day.
