"Uh, hi there. I'm probably out stomping through snow right now, so...leave a message?"

[termineur]

Yeah, maybe you're right.

[ He says it thoughtfully, as if he doesn't jump into situations without looking at times. ]

Think he's starting to learn that he's got to be more careful. It's a slow process, but its happening.

[bywolves]

Mm. Hadrian learned. Mostly. [ There's still times he just jumps in, though. ] He's a better man than I'll ever be. Not that it bothers me.

[termineur]

It doesn't? [ He's honestly curious about that. ] You don't ever have a day where you wish you were the guy people trusted, the one who did things the way people are supposed to?

[bywolves]

No, I don't. The people who you can trust, who do things the way you're supposed to - those are the ones who get stolen from the most, who die first.

I don't want to be someone people can take advantage of.

[termineur]

Oh. Well, that makes sense. I don't have a great track record when it comes to people taking advantage of me. Guess I don't have it down as well as you do.

[bywolves]

It wasn't a fun road to take. [ His childhood sucked. ] I learned out of necessity.

[darkincrement]

It'll be there when you get here.

[ UNLESS someone decides to blow something up. ]

I'll check for more trap doors. I might consider giving it another look over.

[termineur]

Yeah. [ He's silent for a moment. ] Feels like I've been learning that lesson the past few years. Don't have as much experience with it.

At least I'm not as bad as Peter, though.

[termineur]

[ Ooo, blowing things up. Sylar can (almost) always get behind that. ]

Good luck, if you do. It seems like one of those buildings that turns out to be a key to something. Like the house with all the doll stands in it.

[darkincrement]

I'll let you know if it winds up interesting.

morning 265; @betterhalf; text (WHOOPS)

[darkincrement]

Lelric has the instructions for picking up your stuff.

[termineur]

Hey. You made it back. I thought we were going to meet up? Don't tell me I took too long.

[darkincrement]

I woke up back where I was before.
I'll be leaving it close to the entrance tonight.

[termineur]

Okay, we're headed that way anyway. I owe you at least a wrench or something for lugging it all over.

[darkincrement]

I'll collect it later.
Heard you got scars.

[termineur]

Yep. Claire's gonna laugh if she ever sees them.

It's fine. Everything's working again. But it does mean that actually happened, on some level. I was really expecting it to be a hallucination.

[darkincrement]

[ He was hoping that, too. ]

Another friend of yours?

[termineur]

Nope. She's my only victim that lived through the process. She probably hates me more than anyone in the world.

[darkincrement]

Do you?

[termineur]

[ He almost plays the fool and says that of course he doesn't hate Claire, even if she stabbed him pretty hard that one time. But he knows that's not what the question is about. ]/small>

I told you I wouldn't blame you, and I don't. So no. Pretty annoyed at whoever started up convertpurge.exe, though.

[darkincrement]

[ The relief he feels is proof something has to change. That he needs to put space there again. ]

I was a fool. I was weak.
Not going to let that happen again.

[termineur]

You think this happened because you were weak? Unless you can rewire your brain like these nanites can, I don't think you had much of an option.

But yeah, I'm on board with not letting it happen again.

[darkincrement]

They picked you.

[ This is way more than he really wanted to admit. ]

Did you get the message from Davesprite?

[termineur]

[ It was an unfortunate pair-up, that was for sure. Sylar didn't want to see Vanitas vulnerable and brainwashed either, honestly. He sort of wished he never found out what the kid looked like. ]

I did. It helped, actually. But did you think I was going to die? What was the 'bye' about?

[darkincrement]

No.
I won't be seeing you.
