Twenty-two ~ Video

[controllingluck]

[For anyone around before the video kicks in... when she appeared, pulled back into port and living again, she crashed with a loud startled cry, NV oddly in hand. Sitting up her hands flew to her head, NV dropping a few feet away, skittering to a stop, flipped open and ON...]

Why?!

[A hard gasp was heard on the NV first, the video picking up only

Comments

voice; stolen NV

[fixesclocks]

[Sylar has stolen his NV. It's easy to lift one out of someone's pocket from a distance. She really did come back from the dead. It's impressive; even worth offering congratulations.

This time his voice isn't masked. It's Sylar who speaks. He doesn't bother to make the feed private, either.]

I didn't think it possible, but here you are.

voice;

[controllingluck]

[Her own reply comes much later. It took her a while to actually check her NV again, and cleaning it she finds replies.]

[Why was the first of them the one that made her head hurt the most, figuratively and physically, it seems]

S-Sylar? [Thanks... she does remember THAT name and THAT voice] You'd be surprised at how resilient we can be. [No one has ever heard her sound that cold sounding before...]

voice;

[fixesclocks]

That's right. [No hesitation. No guilt.] Boo.

[Nor is he quite done.]

How does it feel? Dying?

voice;

[controllingluck]

[You know that feeling you get when you just did something that felt stupid? You know, like jumping at the 'boo'. Yeah, she just did that, which meant she settled down in her couch with the most surly face a moment later]

It hurts. But... why? Why would you... do that?

voice;

[fixesclocks]

[Sort of the point. Even if he could get what he wanted without killing, he wouldn't stop. He enjoys it.]

Why do any of us do the things we do? Because it's in our nature.

voice;

[controllingluck]

[She doesn't like that point. You're a horrible person...]

Nature?! In our nature?! T-that was just cold blooded murder! [she doesn't get that, at all.]

voice;

[fixesclocks]

It's evolution. I don't expect you to understand. People so rarely do.

[The chill in his tone turns liquid as he smiles, continuing:]

You're alive, aren't you? Then you have no reason to complain.

voice;

[controllingluck]

I'm not complaining! But how can anyone believe that what you did was evolution?! Evolution is adapting to your setting not... not meaningless slaughter!

[ooooh, she's so very annoyed, and yes, she is displaying some very strong aggravation towards this. To the point that it is almost a fact she's wishing Sylar the worst luck she could give right now.]

I was only there to help!

voice;

[fixesclocks]

[On his end there's a distinct pause, not because of her words but because of the feeling. Interesting. He wants to see how this works. Is he afraid of a little bad luck? Not at all.]

And you did help me. Very. Much.

voice;

[controllingluck]

That is not what I meant by helping! [Oh yes. She was bound to get some bad karma back for this, but her current thoughts are clearly on him and they are not good. Her hope for his misfortune would be strong. Enjoy]

voice;

[fixesclocks]

[Someone will almost drop a piano on him later, for sure.]

You should be proud. Now, you're part of something so much greater than yourself.

You're part of me.

voice;

[controllingluck]

[She could only hope it was that easy.]

What does that mean? They said you... you took my brain? [which explained why her brain hurt so badly when she came back] I didn't ask to be anything greater, I just wanted to help.

They'll find you, you know. It's not that big of a city.

Re: voice;

[fixesclocks]

You can't possibly think I'd do something like that just because I can? That's barbaric.

[A tilt of his head.]

I'm counting on it.

voice;

[controllingluck]

I-it is barbaric!

[she's just going to sound so very shocked, even if she knows people in this city do it all the time... hnn]

And you'll try to do the same to them, wont you?

voice;

[fixesclocks]

Try? You make it sound like I haven't done just that a thousand times before.

voice;

[controllingluck]

There are bound to be people here who can stop you. You aren't the all-powerful here. And I do hope something comes for you...

[and yes, that was adding to the fact that she keeps wishing all the bad luck on him. Karma would get her too, but it would be worth it, especially if someone caught him over this]
