[ 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! ]

Death and Destiny...?

[brat_from_hell]

The Endless. Well, two of them. They're the embodiments of death and destiny. They're probably as powerful if not more powerful than all of the gods here.

Of course, they usually try to stay neutral.

I got that much, I just didn't think... [ He looks uncomfortable. ] That makes them even more difficult to get on your side, doesn't it?

[brat_from_hell]

Maybe, but if they're approached for advice respectfully, they'll probably give that. Destiny won't reveal the future. He might tell you based on the past who would be most willing to help you, though.

Being told the future isn't so important when you can already paint it. And I know all about death.

[brat_from_hell]

So do I. Death magic is my specialty.

[gabriel_gray]

Magic? Now I know you're not being serious.

[Phibrizzo raises an eyebrow.]

We have people taken from all sorts of different worlds, including gods, angels and demons, and you don't believe in magic?

[Video]

[gabriel_gray]

I suppose it is an odd place to draw the line. I just don't like things I can't pick apart and understand.

[brat_from_hell]

Most magic isn't as random and chaotic as you might think. Even magic that draws power from the sea of chaos has an incantation.

[Video]

[gabriel_gray]

I think that would depend on your world, wouldn't it? Maybe in yours, but magic here is a much more generalised term.

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

Hmm...well, here it seems like sometimes people call something magic just because they don't understand it. In my world, sorceror is a job and the Sorceror's Guild is where all the best ones go to train. The master sorcerors and sorceresses are given a colour as part of their title.

[ He just snorts at that, sorry Phibrizzo. ]
