I've heard about deals like these before, but I'm unsure of the price. I'm willing to offer my special abilities- all of them- for a few weeks to a month.
However, if you want something in addition or something else, I'd probably be willing to change my offer.
Have you ever head the legend of Tantalus as he suffered in Tartarus?
He was made to be forever hungry and forever thirsty. But he was trapped in a cave where grapes grew from the ceiling and water reached his neck. And every time he'd reach for the grapes or bend for the water, the grapes would crawl away from him and the water would recede.
Sometimes it is worse to be hungry and to be made to do without than to simply go without. Saints, hermits, holy men--they've all gone without, fasted, starved themselves. That is will.
I have heard stories of you. That you can consume and reflect the abilities of others.
How lunar: to absorb and reflect, and yet lack of your own. How very lunar.
Well, the dog and the wolf will go down to the water. I wish I wore the robe and crown. Good Lord show me the way.
I will take your powers for a month, but you will be made to want for them. And, like Tantalus, they and any and all powers you might want for will be out of reach.
What can I say? Maybe I was just thinking about Tartarus today. That's all.
Excellent.
Signatures, signatures, then some paperwork for me, and then a month for you.
We have a deal.
[ooc: Consider the trade done any time you'd like to consider it taking effect. Poor Sylar will be without his powers for a month, but he'll also have to endure a "hunger" for powers for that month. Um...have fun with it? XD]
Okay, that was awesome. <3 Thanks for this, and for the little addition! I don't think he's ever internally flailed quite so much, and it'll make his issues this month so much more interesting. >:D

This is a price to be paid.
