The first time it was my own fault. One has to have perfectly steady hands for the work I was doing- one tiny twitch and your motor skills are gone- well, okay, that was never actually a danger. But I hadn't anticipated quite that much blood

Well that's... interesting.

[makes_you_tick]

Interesting?

You've been here awhile, haven't you? I seem to remember you from the last time. Or maybe you left and came back like I did.

[lyra_of_dust]

This curse is making people blunt.

Both, in a way. I got to go home, but I've been here for a while, to.

[makes_you_tick]

It is, isn't it? It ought to be interesting as we continue on with our day.

Ah, I see. I wonder if everyone who leaves eventually comes back?

[dreamsofnoah]

You've been quite lucky so far~, haven't you.

[makes_you_tick]

Extremely. But luck isn't all of it- most people would have just given up if something like that happened to them.

[dreamsofnoah]

But not you. You were too strong to let that happen, mm~?

[makes_you_tick]

Exactly. There was only one moment of weakness, and- well, I have always been too strong to let myself die.

[holymadonna]

None of those experiences sound very pleasant -- the sword in particular must have been painful.

[makes_you_tick]

Oh, believe me, it was. I was run completely through. Apparently, it took eight surgeries to get me back in shape.

[holymadonna]

I am so sorry. It must have been a plight for you to endure.

[makes_you_tick]

Thank you very much. It was a struggle, but eventually I got what I needed to be healthy again.

[adamantined]

I've lost count how many times.

And what about all the people you killed?

[makes_you_tick]

I'm sure some curse will force me to talk about that, but apparently today is not that day. Actually, I sort of look forward to that one, as long as it affects some of the others.

Hi, Claire. I'm sure Noah's told you not to talk to me, hasn't he?

[adamantined]

I bet you'll feel right at home.

Actually, I can make my own decisions about who to talk to. Normally I don't talk to people who try to kill the people I love, so this is me deciding not to talk to you. Have a great day.

[makes_you_tick]

I wonder what stories your father would tell...

See you around, Claire. Hope you have a great day, yourself.

[orderonto]

Too bad, indeed. More like I was lucky I was a failure. You're not worth the karmic debt I would have incurred, are you?

More than one way to skin a cat, Sylar.

[makes_you_tick]

And what other ways did you have in mind?

[orderonto]

What, and ruin the surprise?

It's out of my hands. I have other things to deal with.

[makes_you_tick]

Of course. Plenty of other people you need to be insulting, after all.
