[Here is your very put-out senator, people, not amused at your shenanigans over here.  Keep your thoughts to yourselves before you make us all look bad  8||| ]
This is Senator Petrelli, for those who haven't met me yet.  I just wanted to take a moment to address rumors going around concerning this sudden epidemic of... what appears to be the ability

Demos' run on the news wasn't your first hint to maybe avoid the speeches until this is over with?

[senatorinspace]

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU] It hadn't affected me so far, how was I supposed to know it might set in late?

[aboutdestiny]

Did you get a recent streak of luck that I don't know about? I wouldn't say anybody in our family's got a track record of getting off easy.

[senatorinspace]

Yeah, but most of us are pretty good at swinging things into our favor, at least.

... I've got to find a way to get a lid on this. Or I'll be opting out of Senate meetings til who knows when.

action? video? WHATEVER.

Dad... [Claire is just staring at this terrible fail. Staring. Staring some more.

... wow.] I'm embarrassed to call you my real dad right now.

IDK. THINGS...........

[senatorinspace]

Thanks, Claire.

[Lindsey steps back after having whispered in Nathan's ear. He looks over at the camera technicians with a pissed expression.]

Did you cut it? Are we off air?

[He sighs and runs a hand through his hair.]

Well, that went well.

[senatorinspace]

[Once they're assuredly not broadcasting, Nathan just slumps back, running a hand across his face]

We shouldn't have risked it.

[prodigaled]

There's not a lot we can do about it now, Senator, with it being a live transmission. But maybe we can spin this as showing how you're just like everybody else, trying to cope during difficult times.

[He waves away an assistant who is hovering with a make-up wipe and a bottle of water. Like that's gonna make Nathan feel better about this whole fiasco. He's also extremely grateful that the weird thought projection thing hasn't hit him yet.]

[senatorinspace]

They're gullible sometimes, but not that gullible. Maybe I could record some kind of rescinding, it wouldn't be live, we could cut out... anything that might slip.

It's excellent to hear someone try to tackle this problem head on, Senator Petrelli.

[senatorinspace]

I'll have to get back with you at a later time, it seems. Miss, uh?

Lilah. Lilah Morgan.

[ Well well well. So much for the guy who had tried to pawn off his brother's abilities as unrelated to anything but the Force, because that's the one thing Erik picked up nearly immediately. Erik peers at him, the hint of a smirk evident despite his own frustration at being led awry the last time the two spoke. ]

A politician that can't keep himself silent. [ He gives a slight chuckle, amused. ] I'd say I was surprised, through clearly that's not the case.

[senatorinspace]

[oh great, just what he needed... B|]

We can talk about this later. [any day when he's not splooging thoughts everywhere]

private - sure just switch everything to private why don't you

[oxidantshappen]

[ He scoffed, shaking his head. ] That's not you trying to hide anything, now would it?

He will 8|

We all enjoy our privacy, Mr. Lehnsherr.
