Yeah?

As far as anyone's found so far. I know people have been using them for travel. You can get across town in a day or two- or maybe three- with them. They're just empty and away from the cold of the rest of the town. You can sleep in them too, just like the skyways in the Industrial Zone. So it wouldn't take us weeks to get back over to you, or for you to get wherever Royce ends up reviving.

[ Because Sylar is assuming he will. ]

I really wish we'd opened them up before, but I'm assuming that the Admin had to 'reset the origin trapdoor' or whatever it was we were supposed to ask her about back then.

[devoutish]

Mm. Should make a-- a map of where they open up. Has that been done yet?

[Guess who's completely out of touch these days.]

[termineur]

[ That's not surprising either, considering how he found Alfie and Royce not too long ago. ]

House has them marked on his map already. They're the buildings outlined in heavy black. There's quite a few spots in the residential area, and apparently they go all the way back to where the hospital is. Would've been nicer if they made it back to the grocery store- I'd really like to see that someday- but hey, they're useful anyway.

[devoutish]

Nobody's found anomalies in them yet?

@jwatson; text; Day 276

[jumpthegun]

[John isn't particularly equipped for this right now, being unable to emote, but he knows the other man needs someone.]

I'm sorry about Royce. Where are you? Are you physically okay? What happened?

@ASolomons; audio

[devoutish]

Going for food.

[Ask three questions, get one answer that's not even a full answer.]

[termineur]

Not that I've heard, anyway. I think they're totally blocked off from the anomalies- as long as no one lets one in, we should be good.

So I guess we better just keep Magenta away from them, unless he's learned his lesson by now.

[ He remembers that 'Should I open this door that says Do Not Open?' post. ]

[devoutish]

I don't think that man is capable of learning any lessons.

[Alfie is Not a Fan.]

Not smart enough for it.

[jumpthegun]

[That's worrying. He also knows Alfie wants him on audio, per usual. John glances over at Major Sholto.

'He'll find out sooner or later, Watson.'

John switches to audio. Alfie will hear a flat monotone from the doctor.]

What about the rest?

audio

[devoutish]

What's wrong with you?

[jumpthegun]

Death price. What about the rest?

[devoutish]

I'm all right. Wasn't an anomaly; nothing like that.

What sort of death price?

[jumpthegun]

I can't emote. That's all. It'll be fine.

[It's horrifying and he's screaming inside, wishing he could offer more to Alfie when he needs it. But that's not going to happen and at least as he is now, it's probably harder to tell when he's lying.]

What was it, if it wasn't an anomaly?

[devoutish]

Blood loss.

Can't emote, or can't feel?

[jumpthegun]

[John doesn't need to ask further. He wants to hit the wall, anger and frustration welling up inside him.]

Emote. It can feel everything again. I woke up yesterday. Sorry I didn't contact you. I thought it'd probably be disturbing, you hearing me like this after what just happened. I was waiting to go back to normal.

[devoutish]

It's fine; it's fine. It's all disturbing.

I didn't kill him.

[termineur]

Probably not. He's sure taken to John, though, just looking at the way Magenta talks about him. Thinking that guy's looking for someone to lead him around by the nose.

[jumpthegun]

I didn't think you did. He showed me.

[John doesn't expect he needs to explain what Royce showed him.]

[devoutish]

Then let John lead him around by the nose. Keep him out of the way of the rest of us.

[devoutish]

I was wandering the house, ignoring everything. Not paying attention.

[termineur]

Unfortunately, I think he's got a little too much on his plate right now. That's never stopped him much before, but he needs some time to work through his current crisis. You- uh- you've heard about that, right?

Maybe Magenta'll wait, though. I'd appreciate it if he kept a leash on him. Guy's gonna be a problem if left to his own devices.

[devoutish]

Which crisis? There's always one with him, but which do you mean now...?

[termineur]

[ Whoops. ]

Last night, when half of the people were wandering around- he was too. He killed a little boy- his patient, I think- and another woman, the same way Jia Xu was murdered. Ecks had to kill him to get him to stop.

[devoutish]

[Oh, that.]

Yeah. Heard about that. People being fucking idiots about it over the network.

[By "people" he basically just means Peter.]

[termineur]

[ Oh good, he had heard about it. ]

He's new. [ Yeah, he means Peter, too. ] If he takes out his panic on John, though, he's going to lose friends pretty damn fast. Not that John will probably complain. I'm gonna bet he'll start blaming himself as soon as he revives.
