Day 46: Sun Room
Peter woke up suddenly, his body twisting in the bed and then forcing him to catch his breath in pain. Pain, which was coming from his middle because of the thing that had scratched him last night, and after that...
After that, Zach had jumped in front of him like some kind of martyr, like the exact opposite of everything Sylar stood for, to take the next hit for him. It got pretty fuzzy after that, so night must have ended right around then.
The man let out a pained grunt as he straightened himself up in bed. For some reason, he got the feeling that he'd slept in. There was no way for him to really tell without a window in the room, but he just knew. The fact that Sam's bed looked long since vacated was another clue.
Sam, but was he Sam again? Had the brainwashing worn off, as he and Roland had hoped, or was he going to have to go through this nightmare for even longer? He didn't know how long he could handle "Zach" and "Harrison" before he started going batty himself.
Pulling himself out of bed, Peter lifted his shirt and saw that he was tightly bandaged. The scratch most likely wasn't nearly as bad as the bite that "Zach" had received, but it still smarted. He let his shirt fall and then had to deal with a nurse chiding him for sleeping through the morning announcements. Not that Peter really cared at the moment. He was too busy thinking about last night and the fact that in a way, he now owed something to Sylar. Except it hadn't been Sylar. That was something he was sure of now.
Lost in his thoughts, Peter reached the Sun Room right as the rest of the patient populace was trickling in from breakfast. Sighing to himself, he headed over to the bulletin board and then saw a note written in familiar yet unpleasant handwriting. Holding his pen in a vice grip, Peter scribbled out a reply and then stalked over to an armchair and fell into it with a huff.
While Sylar was maddeningly frustrating, there was one good thing about the fact that he was himself again. It meant that Nathan was too.
[For Spock!]

He wondered why they would brainwash Minato of all people, but the thought was fleeting, barely crossing his mind before he dismissed it. Why wouldn't they brainwash him? He was an interesting guy, but freaking people out seemed a bit...
After a pause, he added, “Is he alright?”
no subject
no subject
“Then maybe I should have asked instead if the people he fought are okay?” he asked cheerfully. “I'm glad to hear he's alright, though. I take it he's not brainwashed now?”
no subject
"Yeah, he's fine and I think everyone he fought's okay." He paused. "Ryoji... there's something I need to tell you about Minato... and me. And Yuka-tan."

Steeling himself for the instant disbelief he figured was coming, he said, "There are some of us, me, Minato, Yuka-tan, Mitsuru-senpia, Akihiko-senpai, and some others, that have this ability to fight the Shadows. We call it Persona. It's a manifestation of our psyche and lets us cast magic and stuff. Like, I can set stuff on fire with my Persona."
no subject
...Or maybe it was just the fact that it wasn't the craziest thing he'd heard or experienced lately. 'Crazy-ass powers' landing them all in Okawhiphawpa (or wherever) definitely topped that list.
"No, I believe you," he said finally, smiling cheerfully. "But you've gotta show me what you can do sometime, okay? It sounds pretty cool."
no subject
"Dude... if you're just saying you believe me because you don't want to hurt my feelings, I am so punching you in the nuts."
no subject
"No, I'm not saying it for any reason like that; I really do believe you," he said. "I'm not really sure why, but... I just don't think you're making it up."
no subject
"Okay... it's weird that you believe me, but if you say so..." He then grinned. "And burninating shit is a lot of fun. I'll definitely show you Tris sometime."
no subject
Ryoji shrugged, taking a moment to scope out the rest of the room. "Tris? Oh, is that the name of your Persona?"
no subject
He shrugged. "But okay. And my Persona's name is Trismegistos."
no subject
"But really, it's no stranger than finding ourselves here--and all from different times--is it? Or your girlfriend coming back to life? I find that harder to believe than an extra hour in the day."
He still hadn't gotten to meet said girlfriend, either. Maybe she was here now? He gave the room another look.
no subject
"Eh, you have to be 'special' to experience the Dark Hour, so no matter what, unless you've got the 'potential' you never know the Dark Hour exists," he clarified. "Anyways, thanks for believing."
A pause. "Oh, and best not to talk about Personas that much, okay? I'd like to pass on being slapped by Yuka-tan for telling people."
