[Hyde sighed with frustration as he stumbles back to where Kurt was, rubbing his shoulder.]

I think I'm having flashbacks to Mom's. They really just lock you guys in closets? Harsh.

[He folds his arms and spreads his legs, getting comfortable in his standing position.]

So. Kurt. What's the deal? Government lab? Conspiracy cover up? Did they find Aliens finally?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt reaches out to help steady Hyde.]

Last time I got locked in a room that looked like a train. It had really pretty scenery and everything. That one lasted several hours before the door unlocked.

There are aliens here, yes. I don't know about the government lab. We do think there is a conspiracy here.

[fighttheman]

[Hyde stares at him, eyebrows falling behind his glasses. He was suspicious that Kurt answered him so openly. He must have something to hide.]

Real Aliens, like swamp man or the Fly?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

Real aliens... do you know what an elf is? One sort of looks like that.

[fighttheman]

Huh.

[This would require investigation... Or a circle. He could go for a round with the circle. Two people make a circle, right? Hyde pulled a rolled up brown paper bag from his back pocket.]

You smoke?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt frowns.]

What is it? And no.

[fighttheman]

[Hyde made a noise of indignation.]

Grass, man. What else do people carry around in brown baggie?

[Hyde unrolls the bag and fishes out a joint, rolling the bag back and tucking it away in his back pocket again. He gets a lighter and looks at Kurt, joint hanging from his lip.]

Hope you don't mind.

[Because he lights that bad boy up anyway.]

If I'm going to get locked in a magical closet, I'm not going to do it sober.

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt frowns, but he doesn't say anything. He finds a spot to sit with his back against the wall.]

So what was your world like?

[fighttheman]

[Since he doesn't want to feel like a heel standing, Hyde sits down where he is, chest hitching once as he keeps the smoke, knees cocked wide.]

I'm from Point Place, Wisconsin. Known to the locals as the seventh level of hell.

[He exhaled towards the ceiling, the only way he could still be polite while doing what he wanted.]

What about you?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

What's so bad about it?

I go to school in New York, but I'm from Lima, Ohio. It's your average Midwest small town, I think.

[Kurt isn't thinking about the fact he can still get a contact high from this.]

[fighttheman]

[Hyde pulled again, his head tilting back.]

If you're from a small town, then you should know. There's nothing to do but hang out at the Hub and in Foreman's basement.

Or throw rock off the Watertower in town. Any kind of good bars are on the outskirts of town.

[rumchocolatesouffle]

Well, I was pretty active in school. I was on the football team, cheerleading, and glee club.

I take it school isn't exactly your forte?

[fighttheman]

[Hyde's gaze dropped back to the young man, still hidden by his shades. He's a very intelligent guy, as much as he won't let people know it.]

My grades are passing.

I guess parting isn't yours?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

I like partying. I just have never smoked or done drugs. Both are bad for your body.

[fighttheman]

[He scoffed.]

Smoking cigarettes, yeah. They do chemical shit to that, man. But God.. He made the marijuana plant. There's no chopping or pesticides or nothing. All Nat-Ur-Al.

[As though to prove his point, he pulled another draw from the joint and held it for a second before letting it out with the rest of it. Anyone who opened this closet would be getting a roll of smoke. The joint is crushed out on the sole of his boot, the roach slipped into his hip pocket.]

It only got banned in the 40's because America wanted paper to sell, instead of hemp. That shit is useful man. They make ropes and paper, fabrics...

[rumchocolatesouffle]

I've heard the reason it gets you high is because it's constricting oxygen to your brain. It can kill brain cells.

[Kurt was starting to feel weird though.]

[fighttheman]

[Hyde looked almost offended.]

See, this is why it gets such a bad rep.

[He shook his head, crossing his legs and leaning forwards.]

Basic Chem, man. It's THC. Grass puts THC into your system like cigarettes do with nicotine. Except, you can't get addicted to grass and it doesn't leave tar in your lungs.

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt's honesty could get him trouble sometimes.]

What's THC? What does it do to your body?

[fighttheman]

[Hyde shakes his head, sighing.]

I can't explain that, man. Grass makes you happy, hungry and sleepy.

Do you know that they're building a car that runs on water?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

I heard someone say it made you horny too.

I know they have electric cars but I didn't know they were making any progress with water.

[fighttheman]

[Hyde laughed, nodding.]

Yeah, that too.

Whoa really? That would be wicked.

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt shakes his head. He would not be talking about this if he wasn't getting a little buzzed.]

I definitely don't need any help in that department.

And yeah, my neighbor has what they call a hybrid. It's half regular gas and half electric. I think it looks funny. Kind of like en egg.

[fighttheman]

[He just grinned. Kurt didn't look like he could be that much older, maybe a year or two and to compare that statement against his own sex drive, he really did understand.]

That's crazy. Maybe that will help the government run 'gas shortage'.

[rumchocolatesouffle]

What do you mean by run a gas shortage?

[Excuse him, his mind wasn't working as fast as it should.]

[fighttheman]

They've got barrels of oil, hidden out in the desert in like, Arizona or something and they're holding out on us, man. It's their way of keeping us passive and handing over power to fascist leaders.

[He was serious about it too.]

But it's not going to work. I heard that in Chicago, people are protesting outside courthouses with like, picket signs.
