[At first, there's just the sound of feet shuffling and rustling cloth, followed by a couple of exploratory taps on the communicator.

Finally, a confused voice can be heard.]

Hello? If there's anyone listening, I need to know where I am and how I can get back home.

[There's a pause that lasts a few seconds.]

If anyone knows how to get out of here at all, that would be great too. [There's more tapping noises, followed by the same voice speaking.] Thanks.

Y'aint the first to ask that, boy.

Oh, getting home's easy. You just click your heels together three times...

[Well, that was a helpful response. Blaine tries to bite back the urge to respond with sarcasm.]

I didn't think I was, since I'm pretty sure I've never seen anywhere like this before. [Though that doesn't really mean anything; there's a lot of places Blaine hasn't seen.]

So I guess there isn't a way to leave. [He was afraid of that, and he's definitely not ready to believe it.]

[Blaine laughs dryly.] That's okay, I'll leave that to Dorothy. It worked for her, but it's obviously not going to get us out of here.

No, but since it seems like nothing else is gonna either - at least for the time being - you might as well try it. If nothing else, it'll kill a few minutes, and if you do it on video it'll cheer everyone up no end.

[There's a static, windy sound before he speaks, as if he's moving his arm around with the communicator on it.]

We don't know where we are or how to get anywhere else.

[His voice is gravelly, irritated.]

[ drily ] You're in Cape Kore, obviously. Didn't you listen to the recording?

[ Her voice sounds relatively young, with a pretty sort of lyricism to it. There's also a hint of an accent — subtle, and she mostly sounds American, but there's bit of something Russian in some of her consonants. ]

If you find an answer to those questions that actually works, do be a dear and let the rest of us know.

I ain't figured out jack shit, and there's fucking wolves or somethin' lurking. Better hope you brang a gun.

I definitely didn't bring a gun. [Okay, now maybe he's getting a bit concerned.]

I think I'll skip that one, but thanks for the suggestion.

Are people here that much in need of being cheered up? [Don't give him any ideas, or he may just start singing.]

The recording said something about this place being called Cape Kore. I guess no one's ever heard of it before; I know I definitely haven't.

I did listen to it, but since I've never even heard of a Cape Kore before now, I wondered if anyone else had. [He guesses not.]

If I find anything out, I'll let you know.

Well, sure. Not a lot of entertainment to be had here. 'Course, they're mostly bored rather than miserable, but honestly? Watching what sounds like a full grown man doing his best Dorothy impression, preferably complete with sparkly red heels... there's not a lot of people whose mood that wouldn't lift.

That was more or less sarcasm, darling.

Frankly, I wouldn't hold your breath — it's been weeks, for most of us. I mean, yes, of course, absolutely let me know if you make any breakthroughs, but just asking over your communicator like this isn't going to get you much progress. None of us particularly want to be here, as far as I can tell, and none of us have found a way out.

...Oh, I'm Anna, by the way.

[There's a wry laugh, and Kurt can be excused for not recognizing Blaine's voice, because people sound very tinny and different on the communicators.]

Unfortunately traveling here is very one-way. People come and then they don't leave.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be doing that, but maybe sometime I'll sing something. [Not with the communicator, because that would be weird, but in a cafe or bar or something.]

Though, I suppose even if I can't pull off a Dorothy impression, at least I know someone who might be able to. Or at least, he would if he were here. [Never mind the fact that he'd kill him if he asked.]

Well, is there anyone else who might know more? I was just asking over the communicator because I didn't know who was listening in.

I'm Blaine. It's nice to meet you, Anna.

[He sighs, letting out a long breath as he does so. He doesn't sound disappointed, because he really didn't expect any different, but he's not thrilled either.]

I was afraid of that. What do people do with themselves around here?

Of course it is. [ a small laugh — her tone mostly playful, though there's a bit of impatience there too ]

And, like I said, no one really seems to know much. People have been known to disappear, and sometimes they've reappeared and sometimes they haven't. But when it comes to a deliberate way out, well... you can bet that as soon as someone finds something out they'll be sharing it with the class — at least they'd better — but so far we're all just a bunch of sitting ducks.

[He echoes the sigh, wearily.] Usually whatever they're best at. There isn't exactly a Wal-Mart or hospital around, so people who know about medicine do medicine and people who know about the inner structures of coastal communities do...that.

[Now it's Blaine's turn to laugh dryly.]

I don't know anything about either of those. The only thing I'm really good at is singing. [And without an actual glee club like the one at McKinley, Blaine guesses he'll look pretty silly if he goes around singing all the time.]

Really? Me too. We could start the Creepy Abandoned Cape Town Crooners. Or something of that ilk.

I'm not sure how much I like that name, but I could definitely get behind the idea of doing some singing sometime.

Oh, and I'm Blaine, by the way. [He hasn't recognized Kurt's voice yet either.]

It was spur-of-the-moment. Cut me some slack.

[Looooooong pause.] ...Blaine what?

There has to be some clues, right? I mean, there has to be something we can learn about this place, other than the name and the location.

[He's mostly talking to himself at this point. He's no detective, but if there's really not much to do around here, then at the very least, he can try doing some digging.]
