[video] un: cupkate (Bready or not, here I crumb.)

[ Coming to you live and in living color, straight from inside of her bakery, a domesticated Kate appears on the network. ]

Good evening everyone. I've decided to hold Flour Power's grand re-opening on August the first. There will be free food and a game in the way of a cupcake naming contest. It'll be from seven until nine pm. I hope to see you all there.

If you have any favorite flavors of cupcakes, now is the time to mention them. Ciao.

[He nods quietly, with only a little regret showing on his serious face.]

I'm starting to understand that, though it's an adjustment.

Staying in one place is going to be strange, but I don't see many other options. And I feel like things could be much worse, even knowing the...complications of this place.

[bossyboiler]

It is an adjustment but hey. At least this place provides us with housing so we can have our screaming fits in private.

Never say things couldn't get worse here. They can. And very quickly too.

[bloodalwaystells]

The apartment helps, definitely. Having at least a little time to make sense of it, and to adjust to the idea. It's not perfect, but I would say it's about the kindest kidnapping I've even been through.

[He chuckles drily.]

I'll try not to Jinx us again, then. I should know better but my circumstances before were unpleasant. So I might be feeling a bit of gratitude, even. Fool that I am.

[bossyboiler]

That's a kind way of thinking about what's happened to us.

Oh yeah? Here I'm not being persecuted for my genetics. I'm not afraid to go out and be who I am. I can exist here... usually peacefully. So, whatever your situation was back home, I wouldn't think you a fool for thinking that way.

[bloodalwaystells]

I don't know that it's kind...simply that I've been through enough in the past that it's comparatively gentle.

[He pauses, before offering...a little more. Not the details, because Kate is too nice for that, but he can offer a little bit of truth.]

At home, I was hunted by some very dangerous people. They'd caught up with me a few times and none of those have been good. I don't think for a second that this place is *safer*, but at least I'm alive and have a chance to catch my breath.
