[It's audio only. Kurt doesn't trust himself to be seen on camera, at the moment. His voice cracks a little bit at the beginning, but he tries to maintain his composure. He's pretty sure he already knows the answer deep down, but...Excuse me, but has anyone seen my dad? He's...relatively tall, a bit overweight, balding....and his face looks a

Unfortunately I have not seen your father for quite some time. When did you last speak to him?

[audio]

[thisisherson]

It's...been some time for me as well. We're very different people, so we tend to live our own lives and meet up for dinner or coffee every so often. It was like that at home too, to an extent, but we sometimes go even longer without running into each other here.

But, I don't know. ...It just feels like it's been too long this time.

[echo_of_utopia]

I will search for your father whenever I can, but you may have to trust your intuition. Wonderland's population is always changing, for better or worse.

[audio]

[thisisherson]

...Right. I understand. [Unfortunately.]

Thank you though. If you do happen to see him, please let me know...but, realistically, he probably isn't here anymore.

[It's not possible to sound more disappointed than this.]

[notursalvation]

How long has it been since you last saw him?

audio;

[thisisherson]

It's been a while. I'm not sure exactly when I last saw him, and we often go a few days without seeing each other, but it's been way too long this time.

[notursalvation]

I'll look around for him, if you'd like.

[thisisherson]

[His pride wants him to say no, that's not necessary, but...]

...That would mean a lot to me, actually. Thank you.

[Santana, who hasn't left her room in days, has barely been paying any attention to the networks. Kurt's upset tone catches her attention though.]

He's probably gone for good.

[Not that it helps, but she sounds...basically a little dead inside, not taking any pleasure in saying it.]

audio

[thisisherson]

[He's quiet for a little too long after that, as if maybe his line just went dead. Or maybe that was just his heart falling into his stomach.]

...I was hoping that wasn't the case. But, I guess that was too optimistic of me.

audio

[itsahotone]

Probably.

[Yep. This is the sympathy you get.]

audio

[thisisherson]

...Are you okay?

[There's something not...right about her.]

[isntitgrand]

Jesse is is missing too.

[Not like she's going to mention Finn, Kurt is obviously fragile at the moment, he isn't going to want to worry about his almost kind-of, sort-of a brother right now.]

I-I looked for Jesse. Everywhere. I wanted to patch things up with him, I wanted to yell at him, I don't really know what I wanted to do. All I know is when I went to his room, it was empty.

...

I think he's gone. And I think your dad is too, Kurt.

[Yeah, she wishes that this were a text instead. She's full of waterworks, and it can clearly be heard from her end.]

I-I'm sorry Kurt.

Audio

[thisisherson]

[Again, he's quiet, allowing it to sink in. I think your dad is too.

There are all kinds of things he wants to say, and could be saying, but Rachel's tears are making it very difficult to keep from choking up over his father. He'll try though.]

I-It's...

[No, it's not okay.]

...I'm sorry about Jesse too. He was surprisingly not terrible while he was here.

Re: Audio

[isntitgrand]

[That hits hard. She didn't actually get to know Jesse here. She just assumed he was a douchebag. She never gave him a chance.

Ahh, so many thoughts in her head.]

They're in a better place now. They're where they belong. I just wish we were too...

Audio

[thisisherson]

[Suddenly Kurt chokes up a bit on his end, letting out something like a strangled sob.]

That's probably the worst way you could have possibly...I-I mean. Home is obviously better compared to this hellhole, but...just. Don't say it like that.

[His mother is already gone. He's not sure what he would do if his father died too.]

[ audio ]

[beyourwarmth]

Did your family leave here?

[ audio ]

[thisisherson]

...Sadly, it seems that way. My father's gone.

[Wait. Wait he has another family member here who's been missing for some time too.]

...And I believe my eventual step-brother is as well. So, yes. Apparently all of my family here has disappeared in one sitting.

[ audio ]

[beyourwarmth]

Oh.... I'm sorry. A lot of people left, I think...

Um...are you okay?

[ audio ]

[thisisherson]

I-I'll be all right. I just miss him. ...I miss both of them.
