[ Sam's eyebrow raises, and he looks at Peter just as disbelievingly as Peter seems to be looking at him. ]
You grew your whole leg back, dude. After you got eaten. You don't have a damn scratch on you. You'd better start talking. [ A pause, and less... angrily. ] Besides, I've seen some seriously freaky crap in my life. I might believe you. Try me!

Look, I don't know how to explain it.
[ Peter begins as he starts to stand up very slowly, not wanting to make any quick movements that would make Sam trigger-happy and give him reason to blow off half his face. Because that would not only suck a lot and hurt like hell, but then he'd have to wait to regrow his face back before he could finish trying to explaining his inability to really explain. ]
All I know is that I have this ability. I can... do things, that normal people can't.
[ Well, this a start, at least.
Peter's never really been very good at explaining things. He didn't get the Petrelli gene of articulation. ]
It's not something everyone can do. I only know two other people who can do that. You know, heal.
There's this doctor, Chandra Suresh. He developed this theory of evolution that occurs with genetic mutation, and results in special abilities.
[ Except, where Peter's from is kind of where Sam's from, except it's some kind of strange parallel universe. Peter really doesn't like that he's just dripping slime still, but whatever, he's going to just. Really slowlyyyy step away from the monster to get at some leaves or something, so he can wipe this off him. ]
I think he called the healing ability... [ Peter squints a little, trying to remember. ] rapid cell regeneration... [ Pauses slightly, and then nods, as though to himself. ] Yeah, that was it. Rapid cell regeneration. [ And now he's found some leaves and he's kind of just attempting to grab a handful to wipe off the slime. ]
[Elfangor at least has the minimal presence of mind to go to audio rather than video, but evidence of hyperventilation can still be heard, as well as the background noise resulting from him pacing all over the damn house.]
Oh my god. Oh my fucking god, are you shitting me. [A burst of manic laughter, which almost immediately cuts off in a choked noise.] How many people here have been eaten alive? Is this a prevalent thing?
[More muffled noises, but you might catch the sound of retching as he holds the hitomi away for a prolonged moment.]
God. Fucking hell. This is...
[He trails off into muttering, which you may catch traces off--particularly Antarean Boggs have hideous breath and fucking bastard Esplin that fuck. Eventually the feed cuts when Elfangor hits a wrong button.]
[ Okaaay.... That was kind of weird, and Peter isn't really sure what to make of it. But the guy sounds pretty messed up. Totally wigging out. He feels a little guilty about it because well, he did just go and get himself eaten alive and all. ]
Nah, I don't think it's an everyday thing 'round these parts.
[Matt's capacity for suspension of disbelief is pretty advanced at this point. He started out in a world where people could drop dead if someone on the other side of the globe knew their name and face; he died and woke up again, twice; hell, he's watched a girl about his age calmly pop her ribs back into place and be fine.
He still sounds shocked.]
Did you-- Dude. Was that a plan, or were you improvising? And where the hell did that thing come from?
[For a long moment, Fai can only sit there, something like bemused disbelief there in his expression as he simply stares at his Hitomi. His first thought had been to go and help his former roommate, which was followed by the realization that he didn’t really need the help after all, when the thing exploded.
And then his leg just grew back.
Yeah, even for all the things he’s seen and done, that’s a definite first.
His next thought, aside from the fact that there was something fundamentally wrong with this dimension, was that he was really very, very glad to be out of Yomisato.]
[First he takes a long, deep breath, then he takes an even longer sip of the wine sitting beside him…and then glances out across the backyard of his new place. The onsen he was building was nearly complete - all he needed now was to finish the privacy fence and set the cabinet there for towels and toiletries, but that could wait another moment.
For now he lifts the Hitomi up and smiles a small smile, then sends his message.]
Peter? I would ask if you were alright, but you seem to be well enough… ? [A ‘pause’, because he’s quite curious.] If you don’t mind the asking, I was wondering of that’s an ability that you’ve always had, or is that something this place did to you?

Is this something that just happens where you're from? Or is this some... thing that happens after you get here?

I'd say about half and half. The hunting was definitely in the plan. Peter getting eaten... Wasn't.
