Sylar?

[ It’s the first thing out of his mouth as he turns on his comm because he wants to know if the other man is here, and he wants to know it now. ]

Anyone here know a guy by the name of Sylar? Gabriel Gray, maybe?

[ But after another few seconds of empty air-time, where all he does is look unhappy, Peter figures he might as well say something else. ]

You know... if this isn’t my government, my resistance, why do I have to fight? Why am I even here? There’s more important things going on back where I came from and I don’t have time to deal with this.

I’ve been to the future before, and I can’t stay here.

[ Have a heavy sigh. ] How am I even supposed to know any of this is real?

And you believe the rest of us here don't have more important things going on back home?

The Initiative is not exactly fond of answering questions to begin with. Any attempt so far has proven to be futile.

[askedtobe]

Never said you didn't have important things to get back to.

[ SIGH. ] Do we even know who they are?

[selfloyalty]

[she frowns at that]

As far as an official face or figure goes? No, we do not.

Peter? Is that seriously you?

[ Well fuck. ] ... When did you get here? Just now?

[A boy of 16 with blond hair, blue eyes, and a scar on his lip appears. He thinks for a minute before responding]

I've spoken to almost every "transport" here and I haven't run across any one going by that name yet, sorry.

[He had asked about his friends at first too and assumes that is who this guy was looking for]

It seems they keep making a habit of bringing people here in the middle of important circumstances back home. I'm beginning to wonder if that's a tactic to motivate us to cooperate because I've gotten the impression that the sooner we do what they've asked us to do the sooner we get sent back.

[He shrugs]

I haven't really heard why they've recruited anyone. And why shouldn't it be real?

[video]

[askedtobe]

Considering that we're not getting too much information about what it is we're doing? Seems more like it's a tactic to make us even more agitated than it is one for motivation.

[ But Peter's also terribly bitter about organizations and groups and companies and he just doesn't like the sound of any of this.

Which is why he sighs, rubbing a hand across his face. ] I can think of a few reasons.

[video]

[notthatjason]

No arguments here. It IS pretty frustrating. [But he's used to people leaving him in the dark and expecting him to save the world and what not. Kinda get used to it after awhile and just sort of go with it. But for him, it really is a motivation to get home sooner, especially since he had to hold on to the hope that there is a home to get back TO]

Well, it's not like any hallucination or dream I've experienced. Though I guess there could be a first time for everything.

We fight because we are here. If we don't, I cannot imagine them to be lenient towards our objections. But I also think that they will figure out what we can do best and place us there. We cannot just all be killers on the front line, not when some are just children, yes?

voice

[askedtobe]

There are kids here? [ Well that's... extra concerning. ] Think they didn't really care about our objections in the first place seeing as they didn't ask when they pulled us through time.

voice

[onemoredeath]

I have met several on this network. My roommate is still in secondary school, and he has a friend here who is younger. Most of the trolls are children as well even though they insist they are mature enough.

I find it to be an interesting adventure. It is not like I had anything waiting for me in Tokyo. [ Besides the death penalty and nomming his fingers, but we'll not even think of that. ]

[flightlessbird]

You do have time. You are here, yes? And what else will you do?

video

[askedtobe]

First i'd go back home. [ a beat ] But yeah, I am here. Doesn't make me any more okay with it.

[flightlessbird]

No, but there is nothing you can do. [ said so cheerfully! ]

video, screaming alien kid.mpg

[hornery]

[Karkat is starting to get really annoyed with people complaining about being uprooted. Well, he's always annoyed, WHATEVER. But this guy. He just. HE JUST. FL;KDSHAGKSDJF.

This is the first time he's appeared on video in the month or so he's been here, and he is fucking frothing at the mouth. He is the angriest alien you will ever see. He will scream every single fucking word in this transmission. His hate will be tangible. He will make you rue this day, Peter Petrelli.]

Fuck you, you unfathomably deplorable fecal lump. You don't care about this because it's not your government, you pathetic, whining tool? You want to know about not giving a shit? Let me schoolfeed your shitbrained human ass on this compelling fucking topic. Try not being from this primitive shitball of a planet and see how many fucks you do not give about this stupid war for wigglers. Or were you moronic enough to think that you actually matter? While I'm at it, if you Initiative fucks are listening: boo fucking hoo. Cry me an earth river about your big bad government. You fucks don't know how good you have it. You may as well be having one giant fucking tea party from my perspective. But back to you, assmaggot. Try not only being from another planet, but an entirely different universe. Seriously, just let that stew in your primordial fucking thinkpan for a moment. Let it really sink in. No one gives a fuck about you or your stupid sob story about how you have better things to be doing. Some of the guys here, myself included, were doing something much more important than any of you so just. Fuck you.

[askedtobe]

[ I think he stopped listening after 'fuck you', probably pushed the mute button. Probably stretched and ignored that whole rant. Peter's gotten really good at tuning people out when he so chooses; Sylar was excellent practice. At this point in his life, that was probably the last possible thing that could make him rue the day, sorry. ]

You done?

video i am so sorry for these walls of text

[hornery]

[Karkat takes a split second to breathe before he starts up again. He's not quite screaming anymore, but shouting? Yeah.]

No, I am not done, stupid human. Were you even listening to what I said? You don't matter. The Initiative doesn't care. I don't care. No festering galactic wart in any corner of this shitty universe gives a fuck, you arrogant tool. Look at me, are you even looking at me? Do you see these little horns? The grey skin? At least you're being forced to help your own race, you self-important prick. Who is the adult here? Oh, right! It's you. So grow the fuck up and deal with it, douchebag. I am so sick of you shitweasels complaining like it will accomplish anything. They expended the effort to rip you out of a completely different time period or in the case of a few of us here, out of completely different universes. They aren't going to answer your "why me"s or send you home, so just shut the fuck up or tell me your room number so I can come punch you into a coma so you can wait this whole thing out while the rest of us deal with it like mature adults.

You have no way to know it's real, though I think that will become fairly obvious within a week or two.

What do you mean?

[boughtabookstore]

When you're still here and haven't woken up.

[doctorly]

Can't say I know anyone by that name, sorry. If he's not listed on the contact list then chances are he's not here yet.

[sympathetic look, before he moves on.]

There's really no answer for any of your questions to be honest, they choose whoever they can get their hands on it looks like. No answers, no way back, we're just stuck here for good.

[askedtobe]

So I keep hearing.

[ A moments hesitation before, ] How long've you been stuck here, then?

[theworst]

You're part of a resistance movement where you're from?

[important details, okay?]

[ooc; sorry this is so late]

[askedtobe]

I used to be? Sort of.

[ Oh, obviously.... ]



[ ooc; I TAKE ALL TAGS you're not late at all :3 ]
