002: [VOICE] Here's a thought...

Oct 10, 2009 16:06

[Claire has been sitting on this idea for a couple of days. She's hesitant to act on it with Peter and Nathan in the city, but they'll get over it eventually. She clears her throat and makes sure she's on the right setting before pitching her question to whoever might be listening.]Has anyone figured out how to get their bracelet off ( Read more... )

[Charlotte hears that little bit of wonderfully sideways thinking and has to comment.]

And who would you get to test that brilliant theory?

[voice] thecheerleader October 11 2009, 04:06:18 UTC

[Oops, Claire doesn't want to admit that she's crazy enough to do it, but she's a special case. Possibly in more ways than one.]

Someone ...extremely dedicated to finding a way out of here?

[visual] aesthetic_mojo October 11 2009, 04:54:20 UTC

[Even without her expression, Charlotte's disbelief would be plenty clear.]

Dedicated enough to mutilate yourself, kid?

[voice] thecheerleader October 11 2009, 05:33:58 UTC

[Oh well, she figures she might as well own it.]

Sure, why not?

Well, now. It's true what they say, isn't it? Great minds really do think alike. He'd had thought thought almost immediately after arriving, but he'd yet to test it out. After finding out that the bracelet was the only way to get food around here, it had seemed rather self-destructive to try and remove it.

"I think you'd find you'd want it back rather quickly," Sylar said, smiling at Claire in a slight amount of amusement. "Had the same thought myself when I got here. Especially since my skin constantly trying to heal around it isn't the most pleasant feeling in the world. But without it, you'd pretty much be dependent upon someone else to get food for you."

And he hardly wanted to end up like a child begging their mommy to cook them a meal whenever he was hungry. It would end in people taking advantage. That was always how it ended.

Hearing that Sylar opted not to remove his bracelet (and his wrist along with it), only made Claire more determined to find a way to get it off. She wouldn't admit that Sylar had a point about food out loud, but with both Peter and Nathan in the city, she could ask them for help. Someone needed to get the bracelet off, if for no other reason, to see what happened when a person didn't have one.

"Without it, I might be able to get out of here," Claire explained. Her tone was firm but calm, though the calm something she was struggling against losing. Conversation of any kind with Sylar had her outraged before she could feel or think anything else. "Xander says I was here before and disappeared. He thinks I went home." It was only a theory, but it was the best news she'd heard since being in the city.

"I'm not just going to accept that I'm stuck here like the rest of you have. I'm going to find a way out."

"The rest of you. That's just one step away from you people, Claire," Sylar said, a vague amusement in his tone as the sheer indignation in her voice. She was trying so, so hard to seem as though he didn't phase her, and yet, in that attempt, it made it even more obvious to someone like Sylar who picked up on the smallest cue of body language and tone that she was less than. It was brilliant.

"Or you might just end up stuck here without the bracelet. Or end up having to carry around your former limb just to get through things," He said, chuckling to himself. "I can't tell you about whether you were here before or not. I was the only one from home here when I showed up."

Part of him missed having that freedom.

"I wasn't asking if you'd seen me." He would have rubbed it in her face by now if he had, she knew that much. And it was just as hard for her not to mention his 'Gabriel' incident from a few days before, but she was motivated by the idea that she was better than that. If Peter wouldn't let her kill him, she was going to have to learn to take the high road.

"You might be too scared to do these things, but I'm not." It helped that she was confident her hand would grow back. Her healing had worked on Peter. As far as she could tell, everything was normal for her, except the part where she was now stuck in this place with them. "Worst case scenario, Peter gets to fill the fridge once a week."

No.

[voice] thecheerleader October 11 2009, 04:12:29 UTC

Why not?

[voice] makeshisownway October 11 2009, 04:41:01 UTC

Do I really need to go into all the reasons why?

[voice] thecheerleader October 11 2009, 04:43:27 UTC

Well, yeah.

I dunno. You'd be out a free pass, I expect, but I doubt much else of signifigance would happen, other than you missing a rather important appendage. If they tie one onto your bloody stump, why- that would just be cruel, wouldn't it?

Not liking the new fashion accessory, I assume?

[voice] thecheerleader October 11 2009, 05:52:45 UTC

Not liking that no one knows what happens if you're not wearing it.

[voice] lessritual October 11 2009, 05:59:07 UTC

What do you expect to happen, then?

It's just a tracking device, I reckon. Want to keep note of our movements, like when they clip the ears of the lions on those nature shows. You ever see that movie with the dancing penguins?

[voice] thecheerleader October 11 2009, 06:14:27 UTC

Happy Feet?

What if the bracelets are somehow keeping us tied to this place?
