A quick note/warning to those who thread with Sylar from here on out:

As of this OOM, he's going to have a much easier time "reading" your pup with his intuitive aptitude. At the very least, he'll be able to tell whether or not they're human, dead, or Bound without much effort; if they have a special ability, he'll also be able to deduce the difference between them and a baseline human a lot more quickly, though they'll still have to use their ability in front of Sylar in order for him to know anything about it. There'll still be some background distortion and interference from Milliways itself, too, so none of this will be an instant "I KNOW EVERYTHING MWAHAHA" thing -- really, really far from it, believe me, and it'll be easy to explain away a total lack of knowing if you'd prefer that OOCly -- but in general, he's not going to be as in the dark as he was before. Or as disoriented and headachy.

In turn, anybody who's sensitive to that sort of thing might notice a very, very faint residue of the Dark on him, of the same sort that they might've noticed coming from Blodwen once upon a time. And this is why you should always be careful about using magical wishing rings once owned by a former Rider of the Dark, kids!

Any questions, hit me up on AIM (either ironic segue or watchmakers son) or leave a comment here.

With totally inappropriate pup journal: now that he'll know she's not baseline, how likely is he to want what Matilda Wormwood has, considering it's basically a handicapped version of a power he's already got?

It's pretty unlikely. There's also the whole issue of people coming from different universes; to put it in Sylar's own vocabulary, the parts of 99% of the bar aren't going to be compatible with his own, and odds are that he'll be able to tell that.

Figures. Always good to check, though, in case of future threads. (That jsut leaves the possibility of him stealing her brain on its own merits... it is a fine specimen, if the parts are compatible.)

Now excuse me while I cackle evilly at the thought of him meeting Raz. 'Cause - bwahahaha.

Oh God. *horrified laughter*

The said thing is, I think the fact that she's a glob of living Jello would frustrate him less than the fact that she flirts with anything that moves.

She would flirt with him. A lot. Partly because he's just hot and partly because he shares a PB with her kind-of-boyfriend, Alex from A Clockwork Orange. (I think she's starting to develop an unconscious thing for sociopaths. It's scary.)

Should this happen? :D

Well. *cheerful* I think his next EP is going to happen smack in the middle of amnesiaplot, so if there's any time that'd be a "safe" time for him to get hit on by a goo girl, that'd be it!

(Could I request that Sylar and Alex not look identical to each other, though? One poor, unsuspecting in-bar doppleganger is enough. ;) )

*mind filled with cracky, cracky mental images* Looking forward to it. :D

(I'll talk to Willie, but I think the idea is Milli-Alex is an amalgam of Zach Quinto and Malcolm McDowell - at least that's how I've been playing Raz's descriptions of him. So at best Sylar will look like Alex's creepy cousin.)

(*nods, thumbs up* Awesome. :D

...and now I'm going to run away before I can make any comments about Sylar and Linderman's love child and get thwapped as a result.)

I think I speak for us all when I say "FUCK."

...at least he's unlikely to want to gain the power to turn into a gerbil at random intervals?

Well, then it would be Sylar the Wonder (Brain Eating) Gerbil? XD

But gerbils are small and stealthy! He could attack Peter by crawling down the back of his shirt!

...yeah, he's unlikely. *snickers* No worries.

I shall be pinging you soon. Oh yes.

*waves* Hey. I have no problems with the possibility of Sylar at some point tagging/being tagged by Lissar. However: she got touched by something very, very, very large. Moonwoman is, in fact, the closest thing to a deity that the canon has. The specific way that she was touched was memory loss and hiding.

Based on that, as well as a personal desire that the line of "is she normal/is she not" stay blurred, I would prefer that Sylar get, at best, nothing. (At worst the Moonwoman coming down on his head with a headache: that's what telepaths who try to read Lissar get.)

Sure thing -- not a problem at all. :) *thumbs up, makes note*

Aw, does that mean he'll be able to tell more about Raven?

OH NOES!

Oh man, I'd forgotten about that icon...

*dies laughing*

...And yet, this still somehow scares me less than Mrs. Rowlands herself using the thing would have done.

Especially now, would it be completely jossing and/or brain-breaking for him to meet someone he's already killed in his timeline? Should I grab David and hide, or should we see this more as a wonderful opportunity to be evil to our pups? :D

Hooboy. *laughs*

I'm a lot more worried about jossing poor David (or breaking his brain) than breaking Sylar's brain, but I would love to ~~be a horrible person~~ thread sometime. One possibility, like I said to Raz's mun a few comments up: how would you feel about throwing them at each other during the amnesiaplot that's coming up?

David has so little personal canon to contradict, though. Only thing I can think of making trouble would be Sylar saying "By the way, in your future I eat your brain". :P

During amnesiaplot sounds fantastic. Would it be a problem if David's accidentally freezing things left and right? He's only had control over his power for less than a week.

*snerk* Which is exactly the kind of thing Sylar would say to him. In so many words, anyway.

Eeexcellent. *steeples fingers* And no, that wouldn't be a problem at all!
