Turns out you're the villain, Peter. I'm the...

[ Sylar trails off as he looks around. No longer in Kirby Plaza, he seems to be in some City Square, most definitely not New York. He angrily wipes some of the blood off his face as he figures it out. There's only one man who could have managed this so quickly.]

Hiro. [ But Sylar can't hear his heartbeat. Has he left already? No, that wouldn't make sense. And Sylar won't be denied his victory, not now. ] Come out, come out, wherever you are. You don't want to see what I do when I get bored.

[ He holds his hand out in a fist. As he opens it, a tiny but incredibly bright explosion flickers above his hand. It blossoms outward, then fades to nothingness. ]

[ooc: Feels Like the First Time curse- this Sylar is directly from Kirby Plaza. DANGER, DANGER will robinson- this is not the fluffy serial killer you once knew. He will be more than happy to cut up some brainmeats (although i'll stop him before he gets there, unless told otherwise). He also has him some different powers (pre-Shanti virus), so watch out for that.
ETA: I'm being dragged away from the computer for awhile, but I'll be back to reply later!]

Oh, you know....the ...usual things. Um. History---background really, um, what you can...well, not really that as much, but...groundwork. Sort of. Basics.

[ and oh so tentatively... ]

You were interested in...changing.

Groundwork.

[well, doesn't that clear it up? Although Anthony has, by now, provided an idea of what might have been going on. Sylar doesn't like it one bit, which is why his next question is a little on the growly side.]

Changing into what, exactly?

voice[

[peopletalktome.livejournal.com]

Well. What most of us want to be------better.

voice[

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Ah. Of course.

So you're- what, a shrink? How did we meet?

voice[

[peopletalktome.livejournal.com]

Counselor.

[ pause ]

And...we met the same way as we just have for the second time. You mistook me for someone from Texas.

voice[

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Well, you do look just like her. You don't happen to have a tumor in your brain, do you? Exceptional memory?

voice[

[peopletalktome.livejournal.com]

No, no to both of those.

Do you enjoy being antagonistic in your questioning?

voice, 1/2[

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

It can be fun. But that was a serious question, actually. You could have been the same person that led a different life.

This is a curse day, isn't it? I'm 'cursed'?

[ some more silence and an audible breath, inhale and exhale, calm, calm , calm, not nervous, calm ]

I believe that is probably the case, yes.

You...sound like a lot of things...that will happen to you...haven't. Yet.

voice, private[

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

I appear to be from a few years in the past, yes. And at the end of the night, I'll change back to what everyone's expecting? A watchmaker going through rehab?

voice, private[

[peopletalktome.livejournal.com]

...well that's one way of putting it.

I would call it more of a, um......more like you'll still be you. But...at a different point in your life.

It doesn't have to be a bad thing.

voice, private[

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

It's pointless- so yes, it is a bad thing.

voice, private[

[peopletalktome.livejournal.com]

If that were really true, then maybe it would be bad, but it isn't.

Are you aware of how many people I've killed, Emma? Of how I've killed them? I cut their heads open with telekinesis and root around in their brains. I've snapped necks with a thought, I chased down an eight-year-old girl, because she had something I wanted. I killed my own mother.

I can't stop myself and there's no reason to, because I will never be able to go back.

[ this answer comes like thirty minutes later ]

See how you feel about that at midnight. I'll speak to you again.

[ pause ]

Gabriel.

[ and here she ends transmission entirely because she totally has to go break down and cry in her exquisitely pristine living room or something sob ]

[under his breath, and to himself.]

That's what I thought.
