Aaaaaaand here we are in scenic Wisconsin, where the wind ripples happily through the cornfields and the sun shines lovingly over the livestock and shit ( Read more... )

And something something something cheese. Or is that Minnesota? Anyhoodle.

"Charming town names. At least it's not something like Desperation, though." Ha ha. Oh, Charlie. Shh. "I wonder how many people."

Well, Mohinder was kind of amused by Purgatory, for a little bit.

"Probably not many," he mutters, in one of his occasional brief flashes of cynicism. "But it's still better than nothing, eh?"

He gets out and stretches. LAAAAAAAAND.

And the waffle haus, no doubt. She gets out of the car, setting her bag on the ground by her foot. "Yes, that's certainly true."

myfatherstask March 26 2007, 04:23:17 UTC

Don't go making Mohinder crave waffles right now. He has more important things to be doing than stuffing his face.

Like, uh...

...well, damn.

"...I suppose we should try to find the authorities, or something." He rubs the back of his neck. "If there are any."

ojosdefuego March 26 2007, 04:24:14 UTC

She nods in one direction. "Looks like there's a Sheriff's department over that way. So long as anyone in there's actually alive, they'd probably be in there."

At least there aren't any riots. That's something, right?

myfatherstask March 26 2007, 04:28:38 UTC

That is most definitely something.

"I'd rather just take a nap, honestly," he mutters. "Now that we're here, we've probably got all the time in the world."

So much time, so little to do. Mohinder probably looks a bit like a lost puppy. He's got information, for once, and basic tools to analyze it with, but where does he go from there?

"I will have to get back to you about that DNA sample, though," he says, trying to seem upbeat.

"There's probably room at the inn." And she winces at how incredibly goofball that sentence sounded.

"Sure, you do that. And I'll get around to telling you about the people I work for."

myfatherstask March 26 2007, 04:34:39 UTC

Well, when it's tempered by the incredibly morbid reason for all the probably vacancies at said inn, it's actually pretty funny.

Mohinder tilts his head. This sounds potentially intriguing enough to be worth putting off naptime for.

"Sorry?"

ojosdefuego March 26 2007, 04:40:44 UTC

"I work for a company, back in New York, and we...well, we basically look for people like me. And I suppose like that fella you saw before. And we help them out, train them. Protect them."

myfatherstask March 26 2007, 04:47:15 UTC

The idealistic, adoring-son side of Mohinder wonders how on earth his father never heard of a company like this. The logical side of him...is not at all surprised.

He fidgets a bit--if this is true, if the company would want someone like him, he could help. He's got years of research to offer them, hundreds of theories and ideas, unrestrained passion for his subject; he just needs an outlet--

"What's your company called?" He tries to keep his tone neutral.

ojosdefuego March 26 2007, 04:50:16 UTC

Oh, they would definetly want him. And something is telling her, there is probably a job opening or two. "The Tet Corporation."

myfatherstask March 26 2007, 04:56:52 UTC

"And--how would one go about contacting them?"

Because...well, come on. This is Mohinder. Like he wouldn't be leaving flaily, increasingly-British messages on the TetCorp answering machine every half-hour no matter what.

Fidget.

ojosdefuego March 26 2007, 04:58:42 UTC

"Through me, in general. I don't know how many people are still alive back in New York. For all I know, I'm the only one." Little does she know there's a gunslinger in town, eh?

And unlike the FBI? Tet Corp would answer each and every one.

myfatherstask March 26 2007, 05:03:35 UTC

It would really suck, Mohinder reflects, if the entire company were dead just as he's found out about its existence. But he is not going to think about that right now! Because Mohinder is a near-relentless optimist and his day is already going far better than he ever thought it would.

"Well--" He glances nervously down at the ground and then back up at Charlie.

"Would they have any use for a geneticist? I could send them my credentials--give them the benefit of my research. If they're still operating, I think I could help. I'd love to help."

ojosdefuego March 26 2007, 05:05:23 UTC

"I can't imagine why we wouldn't have use for a geneticist. It'd sure make things easier in finding people before...well, before anyone else."

myfatherstask March 26 2007, 05:09:06 UTC

"...anyone else?"

Well, that doesn't sound good. He looks wary.
