Possible Scenarios 01. A New Arrival: Hello, New Person! You seem to have found yourself on a sidewalk in the City of Sin with nothing but the clothes on your back and a stomach chruning feeling of being displaced. Thankfully, the streets are full of people - Watch out that you don't get mugged! 02. Demonic Presences: You were just minding your own business, weren't you? But that's always when bad things seem to happen, and the City of Sin isn't really that friendly. Whatever bar or street you're hanging out in suddenly go dim, filing the area with an unnerving feeling as the shadows on the walls jump out into reality. We suggest you phone a friend for help, or maybe try running? 03. Party Hard: You've been invited to a massive, elegant party at the Tower that spills out it's doors in welcome, by someone who calls themselves the Emperor. Obviously that's weird, but maybe you can get some free drinks and food out of it! This place might not be so bad. 04. Prominence: The City of Sin influences it's population on a weekly basis. Too bad you came right smack dab in the middle of a heavy Prominence. Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, or Pride. Choose your choice of sin and be wicked. 05. Trouble: Not everyone is sunshine and roses here. Some people are violent and cruel, raised in the sludge of a sinful city. And they like to pick on people they think can't fight back. Are you that person? Or are you the Hero who can't stand to watch? Worse yet, could you be the person doing the instigating? Villian. 06. Carnival: The City has carnivals or festivals now and then; you're lucky to catch one! With it's open booths filled with cork gun games and funnel cakes, how can someone not have any fun! Go win your darling a stuffed animal, or meet someone new on the spinning cup ride. You might even see someone you know being talked into sitting in the Dunk Tank. 07. Wild Card: Choose your own adventure in the game's setting!

Peter gave Sylar a Look that he'd often given Nathan. It's the I Don't Like Where This Is Going look.

"I can, yeah." He'd done it with the shapeshifting awhile back. "But what do you want me to do with it?"

He really hoped it wasn't what he thought, because that was not happening.

C'mon Peter. Sylar can see it in his eyes. He already knows.

Slowly, Sylar lifts his index finger up to his temple and drags it horizontally across his forehead. "Peter I'll survive it. And you'll be able to see what they did and take it out. Telekinesis will way easier than any type of operating tools we could get our hands on."

This was clearly the best idea.

[myowndestiny]

Yep, that's where he figured it was going. Peter's Look became pained, as well as exasperated.

"I can't do that. We don't know what it is- it could trip something and blow up as soon as I touch it. You'd come back and I wouldn't. Or maybe neither of us would. And I don't have your aptitude. How am I even supposed to find it? What if I hit your kill spot?"

Ah...whoops. Peter stopped and looked around. His voice had raised to the point that he was starting to attract attention. He sighed heavily and stepped closer to Sylar. His voice lowered, but it was no less intense.

"Sylar, the only time- the only time- I ever tried to kill someone, I did it like that." His brother and then his mother. "We have to find another way. ...you said people had seen this place? We should go take a look for ourselves."

Because that was less dangerous, surely.

Sylar's going to keep pushing it. Peter can tell by the indignant, unwilling-to-loose look on his face. He was going to tell him, no look it's easy.

Step 1, take telekinesis. Cut my head open. Step 2, take regeneration. Then poke around my brain. That way if you do something like explode us both, we'll both come back. Easy.

But when Peter brings up Nathan and Angela, and how he nearly killed them using this exactly same technique, Sylar exhales instead of saying any of those things. It takes him a minute to fully back down from this idea — he's probably wondering if Claire would be willing to do it, honestly — but he does back down, at least for now.

"We're already planning something like that. Now that you're here, you should come." A beat. "And by 'we' I mean, me and some ..." His eyebrow raises as he says the word. "...friends?"

[myowndestiny]

Peter wondered, as he watched Sylar's expression change from indigence to concession, if he got that same look on his face very often. He wouldn't be surprised to hear it from someone else. They were pretty similar in their stubbornness.

Sylar does listen, though, and he was thinking it over. That was all Peter wanted. He might decide it was important enough to try eventually, but as of right now- Peter really didn't think he could go through with it.

Regardless, now they were on a topic Peter had a far easier time with. His eyes lit up and he had half a smile on his face. "Is that you wondering if they were friends, or you realizing you had friends? Either way, I'm in." Wouldn't even be the second time he infiltrated government secrets, by this point. "I'm glad you've had people here. Anyone you can talk to?"
