[log] Scared of Lonely [closed]

Characters: Stephen, Al, and Sylar
Location: Building 263
Date: Night 219
Summary: A space wizard, a suit of armor, and a serial killer walk into a bar....
Warnings: None yet.

[263: A small office building. It's the sort that looks like it should attach to some larger facility, but whatever it might have connected to is long gone. It's two stories: the first contains a small lobby area, a waiting room, and an area for secretaries. Going upstairs reveals a small honeycomb of eerily empty cubicles. There are desks and chairs in each one, but nothing on any desk or placed on any of the cubicle walls. There's one small one-person office in the back that's similarly empty, and two public bathrooms that work, though the water runs cold.]

Right.

[He shifts and begins to wrap it back up again.]

I can't think of anything else to do than just carry on, so-- thanks for looking, but I'm okay.
armoured: (gen] me?)

Well, it's definitely bleeding less than it was to start with, so there's some change, but I can definitely do that.

[He notices Dr. Strange's hands, and it's probably a good thing that his expression can't change.]

Um, are you okay?
armoured: (gen] considering)

[personal profile] armoured 2017-04-21 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry.

[He hadn't meant to bring up something that had bad memories for Stephen, but there's something about that which niggles.]

Before you came here?

[Surely not.]
armoured: (gen] question mark)

[personal profile] armoured 2017-04-21 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. I'm so sorry that this is an insensitive question, but haven't you died here?

[Why are they still messed up? He knows House's problems with his leg from home were fixed after death.]
armoured: (gen] ellipses)

[personal profile] armoured 2017-04-23 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so sorry.

[He feels horrible for bringing it up, but it's so fascinating and it could be important, so he doesn't feel bad enough to stop.]

I've not met anyone else who wasn't healed when they came back.

[That does actually make some kind of sense, but it's a horribly mercenary way of looking at things. It also says that perhaps their resources for revivals are finite, otherwise why bother skimping?]

Did you ever try to ask the Admin about it?
armoured: (gen] headtilt)

[personal profile] armoured 2017-05-08 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think it's worth a try?

[He knows that some people won't even deal with the Admin at all, and he doesn't want to overstep his mark.]
armoured: (gen] serious)

cw: suicide mention

[personal profile] armoured 2017-05-11 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No! No, of course not, but finding out why it didn't work could maybe help us figure out what happens during revivals, or even-- even stop other people doing stupid things to try and heal themselves.

[Not that he's saying that's what Stephen did, but he knows desperate people can make bad decisions sometimes.]
armoured: (Default)

[He can see that for a dismissal if ever there was one, and he's already put his foot in it enough for tonight, so he stands up.]

No, I should go and do that.

[He has, but he figures Stephen wants to be left alone.]

Just call if you need anything.

[And with that, he clomps away loudly.]
