06 - Goddamned Death Toll

[nuclear_ted]

Death toll. Second time. Either I have the worst luck, or--actually, no. I think I just trust the wrong people. Next time an old guy is being attacked by zombies? No rescue from me.

I'm hoping everyone made it back okay. Denise, Rayne, uh... other guys I didn't catch the name of? Survived okay?

[Private to Alistair]You and me, man. Wait till I'm

Comments

Written, after he's ~brought back~. Even though he's sitting right there. He doesn't want to talk.:v

[future_games]

You suck at staying alive.

Ted'll make you talk

[nuclear_ted]

[Ted looks from the journal to Isaac as if to say 'Really, man?'. Yeah, he's not writing back.] As if you're any better. Let me guess. Sylar?

Not without a fight, he won't.

[future_games]

[And Isaac won't vocally respond to that either. Or make eye-contact. He just stares straight ahead, takes a labored breath, and shrugs.]

[nuclear_ted]

[Ted exhales in frustration.] God-dammit. [A moment or two of silence.] I think I should cut off communication between you two.

[future_games]

[Isaac shoots Ted a glare out of the corner of his eye, only to resume his wall-staring activities seconds later. After a long pause, he makes an attempt to speak, his voice labored and quiet as he's clearly having issues with his breathing.] You would do it anyway.

i love that both ted and isaac are doing private messages to sylar while they're chatting

[nuclear_ted]

[Difficulty speaking? Yeah, Isaac's not alone with that. So he's patient. But also frustrated, which is at odds with his patience.] I didn't stop you from talking to him before. Now you let him kill you. Just... look at it from my perspective, okay? Try.

Haha. It's all "...Hold on, I've got a message from Sylar.:| I'll deal with you in five."

[future_games]

[Isaac shakes his head. Geeez, Ted, stop making him talk to you. He's a bit of a curmudgeon right now.] You won't see it from mine.

haha totally. and 'who you talking to?' 'no one!'

[nuclear_ted]

[Ted totally won't stop talking to you. He's being an awesome warden. :| Deal with it, emo painter.] I have tried. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

[future_games]

[An awesome warden that is too awesome and who Isaac wants less of in his life.:| Isaac is going to huff, complete with a coughing fit thereafter, and cross his arms over his chest. Yes, he's pouting.] Obviously didn't try well enough.

[nuclear_ted]

[He's concerned for that coughing, but you're being a pouty thing so he says nothing about.] Maybe I didn't. Want to help me? [He flicks the screen of his item.] I don't want to hear it from him.

[future_games]

[Isaac rolls his eyes, taking his own sweet time to answer that. Ugh, Ted, why so frustrating?] Different reasons. Wanting to help him with his rehabilitation was only one, alright?

[nuclear_ted]

[Same question to you. You're making his death toll worse.] That's... [Pause.] why I let him kill me during the flood. To help him. [Ted shakes his head.] But he manipulated me into that. How does killing help-- [Is that a question he wants to ask Sylar? ...Dammit. It is.] Nevermind. [You both are frustrating. :|]

[future_games]

[You're the one making him talk, Up and Atom. He haaaates youuu.] Leave me alone. [A pause as he gasps for air.] Ask me when I can actually speak.

[nuclear_ted]

[Up and Atom? Best superhero name ever. Second maybe to Sir Brain Rape.] Fine. Rest up a bit. [A few moments pass. Hope you weren't trying to sleep, Isaac. Because Ted wonders something.] Sylar said that your ability was... a burden. That you wanted to share it. Is that true? You don't need to talk to answer.

[future_games]

[There is no name for Isaac that can even come close to Up and Atom. And no, Ted, he wasn't trying to sleep. In fact, he was just resuming his wall staring, but in the opposite direction. He takes a moment to contemplate whether or no he really wants to get into this conversation, but eventually pushes himself up into a sitting position to nod. He'll even glance at you, Ted, and speak quietly.] Yes.

[nuclear_ted]

[Oh there definitely is. I just haven't thought of it yet. Also, Isaac, the wall staring is kinda creepy. Ted feels honored you glanced his way. Or he would if he weren't so ~plotty~ right now.] Would you... want to be rid of the power for a few days?
