WHO || Faye, Lila, Gold? [closed]
WHAT || Faye finally has a clue to Gold's location, and goes to confront him about his absence
WHERE || Glastonbury, England
WHEN || After this
HOW || Actionspam

[ Gold's been gone now for long enough to leave most people assuming that he isn't going to come back. Driven off by confirmation that he was, in fact, the Dark One from the Enchanted Forest by Gaston and Emma, the only indication that he's even alive came in a dream delivered to Belle, where he admitted that he was looking to understand more about this Dark One, perhaps seeking a way to refute the claims of the others. Plenty of people are worried, however, about what direction his search might take him. Others, however, are just plain pissed that he would abandon them without a word - and it's that anger that drove Faye to ally with GLADOS to discover that he was in Glastonbury, and with Lila's help enlist Zero to pinpoint his exact last known whereabouts, at a shitty motel. Together, the girls take a car and head out, hoping to find him once and for all.

There's only one car in the lot when they pull in, the VACANCY sign flashing forlornly above the office door. No lights are visible in any of the rooms, but a COKE machine provides some illumination, along with the lone pair of streetlamps that dully lighten the parking lot. ]

[Topher stares at him for a long time.]

Yeeeah. D'you have a paperclip and some gum? That's all I need to hack into a secure network that's already been hacked once.

[sylar just stares at him like omg suck my dick.] I'm a psion, but I don't have anything that could get us towards London or back to the castle any faster.

[Topher starts fiddling with his phone to see if he can find anything out about the signal, even if he... can't do anything about it. (knowledge: tech 31; computer use: 29)]

[ while he does that, sylar starts like counting off on his fingers like what are all my abilities?? can i do anything that would be helpful in this situation?????

spoiler: no.]

[ he sure tries to do that

and then his phone screen goes entirely red, a deluge of crimson 0s and 1s sliding down it like the matrix from hell. ]

[Ummm...]

Okay, so... This is happening. [he shifts to let Sylar see his phone.]

What the hell? [sylar reaches out to fry topher's phone too because topher looks like he's possessed by the matrix and that seems like the reasonable thing to do. (atk 17; 13 electricity dmg to the phone)]

[ welp that will fucking fry it. CRISIS AVERTED ?? ?? ]

[Meanwhile Topher DROPS THE CHARRED PIECES OF HIS PHONE.] Don't you dare say you didn't mean to do that. What the frak?

Edited 2015-11-23 02:13 (UTC)

It looked creepy!

Edited 2015-11-23 15:18 (UTC)

Well, yeah. Phones going all Matrix like that does tend to look creepy, but I could've figured out why it was happening.

[maybe.]

[sylar silently stares at him like could you have, though??? could you???]

[Topher throws his hands up.] Well. I'm outta ideas. Guess we're stuck here. In traffic. With no phones.

[he hits his head against his seat.] This must be what Hell is like.

[sarcastically] At least we have each other.

[

Thanks.

What's your name again?

Topher. [so offended, like HOW DARE U FORGET MY NAME. WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS CAR FOR HOURS. D: D:] And you're, uh....

[he squints] Mr. Lila?

[Good one.]

[he makes a deadeyes expression like haha ur so funny not] Sylar.

[...] Is that your given name or your online handle?

It's the only name I remembered when I came through the Veil.

Oh you're one of those people. [He pats him on the shoulder.] That's rough, buddy. Even modern neuroscience can't figure out how to get memories back from the Veil. Believe me- I've looked into it.

[sylar makes a face like OH WOW THIS BITCH REALLY SAID THOSE PEOPLE but decides he's just an idiot and doesn't murder him for it.] I've decided my old life doesn't have much worth remembering from it, anyway.

[he laughs] Well, yeah, now you're married to a hot chick. What's not to be happy about there?

[awkward pause]

I... didn't mean to call your wife hot.

[staring at topher like "who is this bitch even" intensifies.] I suppose that's a word you could use to describe her.

I just met her, so I'm working on figuring out her other qualifiers, besides super scary.
