[Kurt's alive~ Albeit a little worse-for-wear looking, all bedraggled and pale and looking very much like he hasn't slept at all for the last four days.

But he manages an anemic smile for the camera, reaching up and patting futilely at his mussed hair.] So...I think I've finally gotten the diner up to code. Or as close as it'll ever get. So....feel free to..come over...please. [His voice breaks a little and he blinks rapidly before abruptly turning the camera off.]

...talk to me. Tell me what you're up to.

[Oh, the usual. Finding out he and everyone he loves are probably on the verge of developing various types of cancer in a world where they have no access to modern medicine anymore.]

Hanging out with Dan and Lyds, mostly, and Kenzi and V, too. There are some cool people here. And Bruce is totally a bigwig rocket scientist or something. It's cool.

I've met him. It's nice to have some people who are skilled in those areas.

Yeah, he's pretty nice, too. [Seemed really apologetic about telling Kobra that he was going to die.]

I don't know, man. I know for a lot of you, this place is rough, but for me it's way better than anything back home if I ignore how much I miss my friends.

Well, that's....that's a little sad. You don't have anyone who'd make you want to go back?

I miss my brother a lot. And my friends. They're family to me. [He wrings his hands a little on the table.]

I don't think they'd expect me to fight my way back to that, though. I don't think they'd want me to. I wouldn't expect them to if they found something better. If there's a way to bring them here, I'd do it, though. They deserve this, too.

...does anyone deserve this? We're being constantly watched. I think it's some sort of sadistic experiment.

Better to be watched in paradise than left alone in a radioactive wasteland. Also I wasn't left alone.

...oh. I guess....

...yeah. That's....I feel like an idiot now.

Don't. I get it. [He smiles.] What's it like back home for you?

...wonderful? [Smiles, a little embarrassed.] I have my dad and my boyfriend and my friends and...I've been out of town overnight exactly once.

I'm sure you'll get home, Kurt. I'll help if I can. [Even if his life isn't the fanciest, that's no reason for Kurt to not be allowed to be happy or enjoy his.]

...that's the nice thing about this place. So far everyone's been exceptionally nice.

Lydia's actually a little mean. I like it, though. [He laughs.] She's kind of fun to poke at.

I can handle a little mean. I meant nobody's murderous...thus far.

I'm actually a serial killer, but I only kill ugly people, so you're safe.

Flatterer. I'm blushing under all this flour and grime.

As long as you and I know. [Kobra grins. He likes Kurt. He's a sweet kid and it must be weird to be stuck here when there's a great life waiting at home.]

It'll be our little secret.

...cookies! Right. What's your favorite?

Chocolate chip! Simple, but awesome, just like me.

[That's a lie. Kobra's far from simple, but it's not to pretend.]

Tried and true and loved by all?

Exactly!

Man, I haven't had a freshly baked cookie in years. [He's getting really excited now.]

[He'll bring over a plate and lay them down in front of Kobra with a flourish.] Bon appetit.

Marry me? [And that's about all he gets out before he starts to stuff his face. It's not quite cookie monster, but it's still an odd image given how skinny he is.]

[Turns a little red, but laughs, hopping back up onto the table.] That good, huh?
