I get that this place is supposed to be a second chance. Some all-powerful superbeing picks and chooses who gets to be locked up forever, and we're all supposed to be happy about it, 'cause golly! We're not dead.

But life's a bitch and sometimes bad stuff just happens. Maybe dying at twenty-four wasn't in my plans, but I screwed up and that's what I got. I made my choices, I have to live with them. Or die with them, whatever. I don't need a glorified boat captain telling me what I did was wrong.

So get this, whoever cares: I don't want a second chance. I don't want to be here.

Tell me something only you would know. Something from before here.

[ooc: Elle got stupidly, horribly drunk because LOL FREE BOOZE and various other reasons like loneliness and homesickness and Adam gave her a taste for it, but mostly blame this post. Her drunken argument with Libby is also where a lot of this stuff is coming from, so it's not TOTALLY random.]


It's so long D: Specifically aimed at Peter, Adam, Kirk, Jack Harkness, Tony, and Sylar, but it's all public )

I never wanted to kill anyone. I never meant to hurt her.

My father said it: this hunger I feel, it's not about killing, it's about power. My whole life, I sat in a dusty shop waiting for my life to start, hearing nothing but the ticking of the clocks, grinding the seconds to dust til I was old and still insignificant, and all I'd ever done was fix the clocks, help the course of time run me more smoothly into my grave.

And then a man came and told me I was special. It's all I wanted, all anyone ever wants: to feel special. Some people can find it in a loved one's eyes, can't they Peter? I never did. All I found in my mother's Virginia's eyes was disappointment.

So I killed Brian Davis. I killed Zane Taylor and Dale Smither and James Walker and Charlene Andrews and Ted Sprague and Isaac Mendez and Candice Willmer and Robert Bishop.

I killed Bridget Bailey and Jesse Murphy because our mother wanted me to, Peter. Does that make Angela more or less of a monster than me?

I killed Trevor Zeitlan because Elle wanted me to. What does that make her?

I killed Chandra Suresh because I wasn't special enough.

I killed Virginia trying to prove that I was.


I want what everyone wants: recognition, a family, the love of the one person I thought could understand. I want my mother and my brother to accept me.

How different are we really, Peter?


[ooc: This post is a goner, because Elle has convinced herself that if it's not written down anywhere, it didn't happen.]

[ooc: At around 3am, there was a scream from Elle's cell, followed by banging on the bars and some sobbing. It's easy to presume she had a nightmare. After this, she was pacing and kicking the bars all night. If you were listening closely, you might have been able to hear some very soft crying. It all sounded perfectly genuine. In the morning, this appears:]


I can't stay here. You don't understand what this is doing to me. Please, I didn't mean to be bad, I'll be better, I won't be a disappointment anymore, but you need to let me out. I'll be good, I promise, I need it back please please I don't like it in here, let me go. I swear I'll try not to be weak anymore, I'll be tougher. I need it back, please I can't live without it, it's mine I need it, I swear I'll be better but I can't be here I need to leave and I need it back please please it's all I have.


[ooc: Elle has very carefully written out a monologue she feels sounds like herself on a particularly bad day. She has then carefully crossed it off so it's still legible, but it looks like she doesn't want it to be legible. It's faked well enough that you'd have to be a professional profiler or Adam to figure out that she's up to something.

About ten minutes later, she writes:]



Tony? I... I really need a favor.
