[ The device clicks on to show a less than happy blonde sitting on the bed of the apartment she just woke up in. ] I'm going to make this brief: I'm looking for a man named Arthur Petrelli. Apparently he doesn't remember how the job works and decided it'd be super fun to kidnap me without even giving me an explanation. So whoever's out there ( Read more... )

...Elle?

Fight Club. [ The smile she gives is anything but friendly. ] Do you know why I'm here?

[Video.] seekevolution August 25 2011, 21:56:58 UTC

[He actually is almost sort of pleased to see you!]

I'm afraid not. I'm not even certain why I am here.

Great. [ There goes any trace of a smile. ] Any idea where Petrelli is, or are you completely useless today?

Anatole. And if there is one, I have yet to find it.

raisedtobe August 26 2011, 01:31:29 UTC

Great. Do you have any useful information?

[ The post catches his attention in the way that hearing one's own name tends to, even though lately he's been all network avoidy. It takes him a while to realize she said "Petrelli" and not "Pendragon". By then he's up on the screen, typing away slowly. ]

Welcome to Anatole. You won't be getting "back" anywhere except by the same whim you arrived.

Right now you're in the building designated for new arrivals. It will house you for one month.

This city is surrounded by a thick toxic mist. It has killed and ensnared the unwary before, so I prefer to warn people against it straight away.

But I truly did mean that welcome.

[ He gives her a half smile. ]

[ Elle just sort of stares at him for a while, trying to figure out if she should call him an idiot or ask if this is some kind of terrible prank. ]

Okay, great. [ She's going with the Call him an idiot without actually saying the words plan. ] Any chance you can point me in the direction of whoever's in charge here? I'm assuming Arthur, but it's possible he decided to let someone else take the reins on this one.

"The Twins", who technically rule, don't involve themselves and we never see them. Over the last couple of years we who are stranded here have been forced to make our own rules.

Byakuya Kukichi runs the Police, which is a sub-division of the Patrol, which is run by Priscilla and I. But believe me, I may be called Arthur, but I'm not in charge by a long shot.

[Video] raisedtobe August 26 2011, 01:50:44 UTC

Why don't people ever see them? Are they even trying to?

In other words, you can't help me get back to Pinehurst, either. Fantastic. Is there anyone here who's useful?

You're in Anatole, like a few others have said. I'm afraid I haven't heard of any Arthur Petrellis around here, though, my dear. Is he your... coworker?

[... huh. He has a vague conception of New York, at least.]

video raisedtobe August 26 2011, 01:35:41 UTC

Boss. [ Sort of. ] And I'm not your dear.

video bedsidemanners August 26 2011, 01:42:28 UTC

Some boss. Only trying to be polite.

I don't think this is his usual M.O. [ Though she can't be certain of that, since she hardly knows him. ]

[She's doubtful he's here, because people never seem to come in pairs. (Why is that? Something purposeful on the Door's part?) Who knows. But doubt aside, it's not going to hurt to look for the man. It's practically tied into what she's doing right now.

Okay, not really but she can't not help.]

I haven't heard the name on the network, but that doesn't mean he isn't here. Not definitively.

[Brow arch at that blue business, though.]

Yeah, I have a question. [Maybe a series of them.] What does he look like?

[video] raisedtobe August 26 2011, 02:03:59 UTC

Maybe he used a pseudonym. [ It's possible. Elle really has absolutely no idea what he's capable of, so she wouldn't put it past him. ]

He's about 5'10, medium build, dark gray hair. Probably late fifties, early sixties. Unless he somehow decided to do a casual dress day for once in his life, my guess is he'd be wearing a suit.

[video] photosbythebed August 26 2011, 02:33:23 UTC

It's possible. [What's to stop anyone from doing that, really? Some of the Scorched are never even on the network. Never use their Forges. Just as much as he could be not here, he could be blending in. Or dead. Or...]

All right. I'll look, and I'll ...ask around.

[Really, she could just ask Shirley but that would feel like cheating. And it's not like Shirley's an information dispensary, either. Despite that she ...knows all the a lot of things.]

Next question. If I find him, who am I bringing him back to?

[video] raisedtobe August 26 2011, 02:42:19 UTC

I appreciate it.

Elle Bishop. He'll know the name, though he might try to play it off like he had no part in bringing me here.
