[ Peter rarely makes posts to the network with such express purpose, but when he shows up on the feed this time, he looks prepared. Like he's got a message. And he only glances off camera once, before he starts. ]

You know, been here almost a year and a half now. Place definitely takes a toll on a person after awhile. Especially when things at home don't exactly make it any easier to deal with the kind of things that go on here. If you let it, everything just kind of.. falls apart. [ He shrugs, grasping a little for the right words. Public speaking isn't his strong suit. ]

Doesn't mean it has to, though. I know more than a few people here have made allegiances with people they never would've thought to. Whatever gets you through, right? Makes it easier, helps keep you going? Didn't actually think i'd end up happy in this place, not after everything that's happened.

[ This time, when he looks off camera again, he lets his NV turn ... to an expectant Sylar, his dark gaze fixed on the device. He smiles, wryly, as though to say 'surprise'. ]

Makes a lot of sense, when you think about it. The people who remind you of home, who understand what it's like to be you better than anyone else does; you can't really pick and choose who those people are. Adversity makes strange bedfellows.

[ He quirks an offscreen glance toward Peter. ]

Everyone deserves a little happiness in their lives, don't you think? Someone to love. Something you'd kill to protect. [ He reaches out suddenly, viper-quick, pulling Peter back into view of the NV by dragging him into his lap, and surprising a smile out of him in the process. Sylar presses his nose into Peter's neck, buries his nose briefly into hair that has grown back mysteriously quickly, and then looks back at the screen mockingly. ]

Like this smile. Isn't it adorable? A man could kill for a smile like this.

[ But before Sylar can embarrass them both any further, Peter's fumbling for his NV and trying not to smile so much as he turns off the feed. ]

[ ooc; blue is Peter; red is Sylar. threadjacking is encouraged! ]

Now this is the sort of drama that I like to hear. It's nice to have some gossip to really keep an eye on.

If you ever go near him again, you take it out on me.

Sorry, Petey, I don't take requests.

You know it's only a matter of time before I have to melt his brain down to ore, don't you? He's not smart enough to just toe the line.

It's not a request.

And if you take him down? Then you get to do the same to me. Two for one deal.

Peter. Look around you. If I have to kill Sylar, there's going to be a whole line of people waiting to finish you off.

Sure, I could snap my fingers and turn you into putty, but...you know, I'd rather watch your friends rip you apart instead.

They'd have to know where to find me first. You don't have to worry about that disadvantage.

Like I said, the next time you take Sylar apart, you can do the same to me. I don't care which you'd rather watch.

You haven't annoyed me the way Sylar has. Work on that, then I'll kill you.

[It's a trap, Peter. Don't do it.]

[ But Peter is bad with traps. ]

Not exactly a goal of mine. Best thing I can do to piss you off is show up if you try something again.

If I try something? Sam called me for help.

Why don't you trail around after your sugar daddy and see if he tries to murder anyone else I like? I hear watching someone you love murder an innocent bystander is better than foreplay.

He's not going to try to murder anyone else you like, I don't need to trail after to him to know that much.

If that's true, I won't have to kill him. Again. [Smirk] And again, and again.

Doesn't let you off the proverbial rack, though. Your fan club's disbanding.

Yeah, I get it. You killed him more than a few times. The Joker can do the exact same thing.

And I never had a fan club. They're allowed to have their opinions, I can't stop anyone from feeling the way they do.

Really? We should let Joker have a turn and have Sylar compare notes.

[Lucifer just shrugs. He honestly doesn't care what people think of, or do to Peter.]

That's enough.

Is it? I'm surprised at you two. I would have thought you'd know better than to flaunt something like this. Unless...you don't really mean any of it.

Peter didn't want to lie to his friends any more.

I'm sorry, am I not playing by your rules?

This has nothing to do with me or my rules. Except...[a shrug, a smirk] it's hilarious.

Well here's something hilarious--tone it down in regard to Peter, or word to the wisest of the wise? I'll bring the wrath of God down on you.

[ He knows your secret, Lucifer, and he will keep it. But Peter is his uncrossable line. ]

I know what you can do. Don't.

'The wrath of God'. You don't even know what that is, Gabriel.

I just want you to remember in those early hours when you're thinking of how nice it'll be to kill me...that you let Peter do this. You let Peter tell us all that there is one last thing you can lose.

Tell me again where we went so wrong, won't you? Surely it isn't because I targeted one insignificant shapeshifter? I've killed a lot of people--why him?

Because...because. [Shruuug] You don't need to know why. What matters to you is that he's off limits. Just like you want poor Peter to be off my radar, right?

Exactly like that.

Well. He's putting himself right on the map. Stuff your tongue in his mouth to stop his from wagging, would you?

[ Bristling. ] He's protecting me, just the same way as you are protecting Sam. It's a very simple thing. An eye for an eye--don't you know all about that?

He can't do anything to me. All he's doing is reminding me that my brother's at work and I'm bored.

Tell him if he wants to protect you, he needs to grow a few more brain cells. Threats? Not the wisest way to go~
