It's dark. It's possible to tell this because it's not pitch black. No, there is the occasional flourescent light on- security lights, of course. Nothing seems secure about this place, though. That light keeps blinking off occasionally, for instance, and it looks like one of the glass doors down the hall is shattered onto the floor.

It becomes clear after a little observation that this is an office, of some sort. Wide halls hide rooms with office desks, cabinets and computers. In one other direction, the glass becomes concrete at intervals. A giant number five is spray-painted onto it, in black.

The halls are the sort of quiet that comes from everything being shut down for awhile. Offices on the weekend, maybe even in the middle of the night. It's hard to tell, as the blinds are firmly drawn.

There is a bit of a sound, though- growing louder as if it's getting closer. It's the tick of some large clock. This is not the same as what the City hands out as punishment for being alone, this is different. This doesn't distract, it focuses. It almost seems to be pushing things along in an otherwise dead world. It's comforting, actually, having something to hang onto in a place that's so still.


[ooc: Feel free to have your character enter and interact. This is...uh, a normal dream for Sylar. Enjoy, guys! Oh, and just a warning- touching certain things in this dream will pull up memories.

ETA: I've been sick today, but I'm still slowly working on tags, I promise. <3]
Thank you to everyone who calmed me down yesterday. I apologize for my outburst, and I'm relieved to note that I didn't end up hurting anyone. Of course I had to reawaken on a curse day.

I'm back, for those few who might have wanted my assistance at the shop. And Doctor Sahl? I think I'll take you up on that offer to look at the hospital equipment today, if it's still open. Thank you for your kindness yesterday.

Private to Mohinder )

Private (but viewable to Angela) )
The first time it was my own fault. One has to have perfectly steady hands for the work I was doing- one tiny twitch and your motor skills are gone- well, okay, that was never actually a danger. But I hadn't anticipated quite that much blood.

The second time I was lying on a slab in that dungeon in Odessa. The closest I came was right around the conductivity testing, I'd say, I seem to remember the staccato of electric shocks jumping my brain back and forth. That doctor--- [Laughs] You never did find anything other than telekinesis, did you, Noah?

The third time was you, Mohinder. First the spinal tap- lucky that went as well as it did. Not only did you manage to keep from paralyzing me, but the shock of the pain was quite the motivator. And then you shot me in the face, which we can't forget, can we? Although I wasn't really in danger by then. Too bad you hadn't done that earlier.

The fourth and fifth times were the Japanese man. And don't think I haven't seen you lurking about- not everything is locked against me, you know. When I first met you, you had- I can only assume stopped time in my moth- Virginia's apartment. You had your sword at my neck, and I didn't have a chance. But you hesitated. Why couldn't you do it? You would've been a hero, even in my eyes. But no, all you did was disrupt me in that private moment. How long had you been watching me?

You did manage to do it the second time- fulfilled the painter's prophecy, for as much good as that did. That sword caught me in the chest- not in the heart, thankfully. I've never felt pain like that before, I hope you're proud about that. After I flung you at that building, I spent my last remaining moments of consciousness using telekinesis to try and hold myself together. I knew it was useless, but I had to fight any way I could. After that was a long wash of pain in any way it could manifest- sharp or dull, bright and aching. I suppose I should've been glad for it, it meant I wasn't dead yet, but- I just wanted it to stop. It took months.

The last time was my fault again. Maya almost killed me, during our beautiful little picnic in Virginia. I pushed her to it, I had to know that I could get rid of that threat she called her brother. Even without my ability, I could tell that the control of her ability was her own- the lack of control was merely an emotional issue. So I pushed her from a standstill, and she had to control it or watch me die. My gamble worked out, in the end, but the way my lungs just stopped taking in air, the way everything in my body just closed off- I have to admit, I was almost worried.

....oh, I see. My very first curse? -well, since I've returned. That didn't take long. I hope you all enjoyed the storytime.
