[thirty five] TRIUMPHANT RETURN. Kind of.

[goodgrasshopper]

[Video flicks on to show... a much changed Molly Carpenter.  Her hair is purple, and it looks like it's been a while since she had a decent meal or a hot shower.  Maybe a long while.]

Is everything still fucked up around here?  No?  Good.  I'm going to go grab a shower.

[Friends filter]
If you want to talk, give me a half an hour, or you're going to get an eyeful.

[OOC: Yeah, I was so sorry to change her PB, but Mika Boorem doesn't have any look but wholesome and happy, and Molly's just... not there these days.]

[goodgrasshopper]

You think so? I'm not sure if I should be flattered or concerned.

Private~

[grayatonement]

Maybe both.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

[Have a smile, Sylar.] Are you concerned?

Private~

[grayatonement]

Should I be?

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

Maybe. No one back home thinks I'm a good little apprentice anymore. They think I've cracked under the pressure.

Private~

[grayatonement]

I think they don't know you well enough.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

[Have a saccharine-sweet smile, Sylar] Aww. You're sweet. Even the White Council wants me dead now.

Private~

[grayatonement]

[Paaaaaause.]

Are you an inmate?

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

Hm. Guess.

Private~

[grayatonement]

You're not that interesting, Molly.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

Hm. If you say so. I am a warden still, for whatever that means, when we have wardens whose behavior is barely discernible from the inmates'.

Private~

[grayatonement]

[Longest of pauses.]

I need your help.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

Oh? What with?

Private~

[grayatonement]

Cissie. I don't know how to fix things.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

What happened?

[What did you do, Sylar. :|]

Private~

[grayatonement]

I was honest with her. She's upset with me.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

Honest with her about what?

Private~

[grayatonement]

[See Sylar wince.]

Loving Elle.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

...You told your girlfriend that you love another woman, and you didn't think she'd be upset? Really?

Private~

[grayatonement]

I knew she would be upset. I told her she was different, special. That I loved her as well. That I meant everything I said.

..She doesn't understand.. doesn't believe me. I don't know.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

Did you consider that maybe she needs a little time? No matter how you reassure her that she's different/special/whatever, hearing that the guy you're seeing loves someone else just kind of sucks.

Private~

[grayatonement]

What if I give her time and she wants nothing to do with me? I never say the right thing.

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

You might consider respecting her choice.

Or barring that, you could show her how much she means to you.

Private~

[grayatonement]

She wants to be with me. If she made a different choice, it would be because she doesn't understand.

How?

Private~

[goodgrasshopper]

So you say.

Do something nice for her? This is not rocket science, Sylar. Take her on a date. Make a grand gesture. I won't pretend to know all of the ins and outs of your relationship, but I'm sure there's something she would like that you can do.
