You think anybody ever really changes?

[She sounds SO BITTER. She sniffles, not like she's crying but rather like she's just had the longest day of her life, everything hurts, and her nose is running. For a second, it sounds like she's about to answer her own question, but she stops herself.]


[private to Sylar]

If you want your shirt back, come and get it.


[ooc: Elle's back, updated to her actual canon death in "The Eclipse Part 2."]

No.

[He's been thinking a lot about this lately.]

Who we are never changes. Who we think we are does.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I thought...

[There's some obvious disorientation going on before she pulls it together and says angrily:]

We might as well all pack up and go back to being dead. Once a killer, always a killer. Some things you can't fix.

Let me guess.

No matter how much you think things can change, every single time you turn a corner there's a new something. And then, when people think you've changed and something happens that drives you out of control even just for a second they automatically condemn you based on past actions.

[He's pretty much done with trying to be decent by this point though. It's a lot easier not to give a flying fuck.]

So why even bother trying?

Better to just not care.

I'm a villain, and I couldn't be a hero if I wanted. There's always something, in the back of your head, reminding you of what you are. And no matter how hard you try to be normal, the world keeps screwing you over.

It's so much easier not to care, and... Yeah, I don't care anymore.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

Sure. Because you give yourself completely over to being a hero or trying to be.

[His mouth tightens] And you give more and more and people keep fucking you over. You try to be normal and accomplish things and people keep taking things away from you.

[he chuckles.] It's a hell of a lot easier. [His eyes go dark. He looks away from the camera] better not to give a damn.

...More fun too.

Elle.

Do you remember who I am?

I'll be down in a minute.

Re: private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Go away! I don't wanna see you.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Sorry, you don't get a choice.

[He sounds a little out of breath. And quite relieved, too.]

Re: private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Leave me alone!

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

No.

[And there he is, five minutes later, hammering on her door. He'll break in if she doesn't let him in.]

You picked an appropriate question.

I graduated, Elle. I'm leaving the Barge in a few days.

Private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

What? How?

Private

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

I realized that what I did back home was wrong, that there really wasn't any way to change the world through the virus. I'm not a god, I just got lucky with my evolution.

Private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

So that's it? You're just... going?

Private

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

In a day or so. Do you want to talk about it or get a drink before I leave?

Private~

[grayatonement]

My shirt? [It's a mixture of confusion and innuendo.]

Private~

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

You know, that thing you wear on your upper body.

Private~

[grayatonement]

[Ponderponder] You were gone. [Click..click..] ..You went home. [Click..click..]

I killed you.

Private~

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Congrats, Sherlock, you figured it out.

You want your shirt back or not?

Private~

[grayatonement]

But you remember here? Before?

[He doesn't really care, but he wants to see her.]

Yes. Now?

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

I do not. Within all is a core that cannot be altered.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

That seems to be the consensus.

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

Do you agree with this notion?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Some things you can't go back from, you know?

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

I know of this. I know of it far too well.
