Sylar's gears were still turning as the nurse and a burly orderly escorted him down long halls and through a strange, sunlit room. He'd been forced to drop his pen when the orderly had seen it, and since then, he'd realized that this place had better security than he'd originally anticipated, as well as a large population of patients. It looked

As strong as she had once felt... she couldn't face this horrible place alone. She was weak.
And yet, the thought of collecting pawns to protect her made her ache inside.

Usopp had woken up slowly, still mulling over his conversation with Sai. They had gotten enough done for one night, considering that Captain Zelnick hadn't been able to show up and Mello had been off doing something--maybe even really working in the clinic, as he'd said. But there was still a lot to be done. More importantly, it had been a long time since he'd spoken with his crewmates, or it felt like a long time. He hoped Nami and Sanji weren't still sick...
The breakfast looked good, if a little heavy, and he took some fruit to balance it out. Then, to find a seatmate. In the crowd, he didn't see anyone from his crew, although that could have just been thanks to the business of the cafeteria in full-swing. Sai he spotted, but he already was talking to someone.
Meeting new people was always a good thing. There was a pretty girl with tan skin, a little darker than Usopp's, sitting by herself. He decided to come over, smiling a little. "Hi, I'm the great Captain Usopp. Mind if I sit here?"

"Not at all," She said, primly cutting her waffles. It wouldn't hurt to be a little social and yet... she rather feared forming attatchements, considering what might be needed to escape this place.

After cutting into his own waffles, and taking a bite, Usopp realized something else. She was as hard to read as Sai. Usually, Usopp considered himself a good judge of people's moods, but she was very self-contained. "Do you like pirate stories?"

"I know a few..." She said with some caution, unsure of where he was going with this, "I'm familiar with many kinds of stories."

"Sailing from port to port over the tumultuous seas, never knowing what awaits just over the horizon, trusting our lives to the wisdom of our navigator and the scant mercy of the ocean as we cross over the great blue depths!" He gestured wildly with his fork hand, a little syrup dripping on the table by accident.
Then, in a more conversational tone, "A bunch of my crewmates are here too. Do they have pirates, in your world?" A few people he'd talked to had implied that pirates shouldn't even exist, which was about as depressing a thought as Usopp could imagine.
