[The NV does not show a person. Instead, he sends out a text. Because Skyping is for people who have achieved the first three tiers of friendship.

He's also rather freaked out by the Darkness and doesn't particularly want to show it on video feed, so he's just going to sit in his new starter apartment and pretend everything is perfectly normal and Leonard is going to come get him, thank you very much.]

I have been told by one [1] so-called expert in the field that I have been brought to an alternate dimension. As this is both ridiculous and impossible as I have not discovered it yet, I am waiting for an explanation that is both reasonable and able to be proven.

Until then, I will be waiting within this house of the American past-time, attempting to find a train station to return me to Pasadena.

Should they be within this "alternate dimension Canada", I require the presence of one [1] Leonard Hofstadter, provided he is not off wasting his time entertaining the company of two [2] scientists by the names of Rajesh Koothrappali and Howard Wolowitz or one [1] Cheesecake Factory waitress that lacks the education to know this is a ridiculous hallucination by the name of Penny.

By the terms of our friendship agreements, they need to be within this baseball diamond.

Now.

[And then, just as this text is sent out, another one follows it, from the same feed number.]

Amy, if you can read this, call me. Please.

I need to speak with you immediately.

Oh good, you're moderately well-read.

Explain the Core, then. What is it? Where is it located?

Give me the schematics.

[askedtobe]

Pretty sure nobody knows what the schematics are.

But it's in the middle of the Port, and nobody really knows what it is, either. All they do know is that it's what pulls all the Newcomers here, and it's what keeps them from leaving.

[theorizes]

How does it pull them here? How do people know that that's what controls everywhere? What scientific evidence is there to prove this theory? And if you tell me "because they told me so", so help me God, I will slap you, Milo Ventimiglia.

[askedtobe]

[ .... let's just ignore everything else you said because ... ]

Think you've got me confused for someone else.

[theorizes]

I have an eidetic memory.

No, I don't.

[askedtobe]

Whatever kind of memory you have, that's not my name.

[theorizes]

A more common term for it is photographic. It is also wrong.

What is your name, then?

[askedtobe]

Peter Petrelli.

[theorizes]

[ . . . ]

Oh, come on, seriously, I'm not that gullible.

[askedtobe]

[ Okay, what? ] What do you mean gullible? There's nothing for you to believe, it's my name.

[theorizes]

Yes, of course, and I am secretly Mister Spock.

Is Claire Bennet here too? Has she fallen off a series of buildings in the past week in order to see if she can finally die? Because that was four seasons ago.

[askedtobe]

No, she went-- How do you know about Claire?

[theorizes]

Who doesn't know about Claire? She was the crux of the plot of season one.

[askedtobe]

I don't have any idea what you're-- Did they make Ninth Wonders into a tv show?

[theorizes]

Wow.

You are really keeping this in character thing seriously.

[askedtobe]

I'm not keeping anything in character. What, do you need proof or something?

[theorizes]

That would be nice.

[askedtobe]

[ Peter just rolls his eyes, but fine okay, he can do "proof". Flight isn't exactly the easiest thing to show on camera, so he does something that's even easier. Holding out a hand, palm up, it only takes a second for crackling blue electricity to start snapping between his fingers until a ball of it's formed between his fingers, cracking quietly. ]

Better?

[theorizes]

[There is a solid ten minute pause.]

What.

[askedtobe]

[ After about five minutes, Peter starts glancing around until Sheldon speaks again and he whips back to attention. ]

What do you mean, what?

[theorizes]

How did you do that?

[askedtobe]

Same way I did this.

[ Peter uses the same hand he had lifted to telekinetically snap a book that was offscreen into his palm. Let's just say it's Pillars of the Earth. ]

[theorizes]

[whattheactualfuck]

So you actually are Peter Petrelli?

[askedtobe]

That's what it says on my birth certificate.

[theorizes]

Well.

I'm officially on drugs.
