Sylar has his collar off. If you see him on the streets, run. Fighting against him is useless unless you can cut his head off.

He can regenerate now. [ Blood is smeared on her face and on the little Pomeranian in her arms, mixed in with dried tears. She shuts the feed off immediately after that little PSA. ]

[ (video) private to Peter Petrelli / extremely difficult to hack ]

Don't go back to your apartment. Sylar's there. [ That concern in her eyes is genuine, her eyes moist. She blinks. ]

I took Mr. Muggles with me.

[ (voice) private to Loki / moderately difficult to hack ]

What are you doing later?

[ OOC: replies to the public post will likely come after a few hours ICly. ]

[This is Jesse's first encounter with the reality of supervillains. He just... stares.]




You're bleeding.

[ video ] coming a couple hours later

[cheerhealer]

Not anymore.

[hostage]

[He's been worrying this whole time.]

You, uh... You okay?

[cheerhealer]

I'm fine.

[hostage]

That guy... The guy who did that...

Anybody catch him yet?

[cheerhealer]

Not yet. But it's only a matter of time. [ She's so confident in Peter. ]

[hostage]

What'd he do? Like... What'd he want?

[cheerhealer]

He wanted my power.

He does this to anybody that has a power he wants- he corners them then slices open their head to get into their brain. [ It wasn't easy to talk about in the third person as she'd thought, but it was easier than first person. ]

[hostage]

[He takes a breath, thinking he'll have something to say. But he can't think of anything. His throat tightens and he coughs but that doesn't help clear up the heavy, heavy feeling in his chest. After a very long moment of digesting this information, he can only whisper:]



Okay.

[cheerhealer]

Be careful out in the streets. [ That's the best warning she can give, really. ]

[hostage]

I don't got a power.

[cheerhealer]

Are you sure?

[hostage]

Yeah.

If I did, I'd be going after the guy who did this to you.

[cheerhealer]

Don't. I didn't post this with the intent of having everybody chase after him. [ Why can't you guys just take her warning, jeez. ]

He's dangerous, even if you don't have a power he can take. [ Jackie's death was still not forgotten, and she was sure that it wasn't the first time he'd ever made a mistake. ]

[hostage]

I won't. I can't. I know.

[cheerhealer]

Okay. [ she has no idea what else to say ]

[hostage]

You need anything?

[cheerhealer]

No. [ Nothing he could give her, really. ]

[hostage]

Yo, if you ever just need somebody to like hang out with...

[Because he knows he hates being alone at times like this.]

No serious talks and shit, just - yeah. Call me up, we'll go play putt-putt or whatever.

[cheerhealer]

Thanks. [ She doesn't think she'd ever take him up on his offer, though. But it was kind. ]

I'm Claire, by the way. [ She doesn't want to be known as the girl who got her head cut open. ]

[hostage]

Jesse. Nice meeting you, Claire.

[cheerhealer]

You too. Hopefully the next time we talk it won't be like ... this.

[hostage]

Yo, it better not be or I'm seriously busting a cap in someone's ass.

[cheerhealer]

Have you ever heard the phrase 'choose your battles' before?

[hostage]

Uh, no?
