[ It's a peaceful scene in Maurtia Falls. The speaker is standing at the edge of the city's central canal. His ID reads 'Sylar'. Ominous for those who've come into contact with him. But Sylar has never been seen on the network before, and today is no different. Dressed in a black, high collared long coat, his face is obscured by a smiling Guy Fawkes mask.

He gives a metal gas canister a little shake as he shows it to the camera. It sounds empty, just a little liquid sloshing about in the bottom. And then he steps aside, showing the backdrop. Not much to see. Greyish skies, a car parked on the opposite bank, warehouses in the background. This part of the canal is in one of the shabbier parts of the industrial district, where prostitutes regularly take their johns to provide their service because there are rarely any interruptions. In fact, there does seem to be someone in the car, the driver's seat cocked back at an angle.

Hmm.

You know, I've really been very good. Very good. I should have realized that none of you really put any weight on human life. It's all just noise, as usual.

So what do I have to lose? Here's the thing, I am starving. I was locked away, denied my pursuits, denied even my rights as a human being. Now it's my turn. What's dying, really, when you come right back? A small sacrifice to make to stop a murder spree seems reasonable, don't you think?

But for the sake of getting your attention--

[ He opens his hand in front of him, and a phoenix like shape made all of fire emerged from his fingertips, licking flame and slowly opening its elaborate wings. He closed it into a ball of flame as it closed its wings again, and then pivoted on the spot and threw the ball across the canal. There, it caught a ribbon of gasoline on the ground, which leapt from the shore to the car, catching it violently aflame. A few seconds later, it exploded. ]

That's my cue to leave. You'll be hearing from me again in--let's say twenty-four hours, if my needs aren't met.

----------------

OOC: There is in fact nobody getting a blow job in the car across the canal, but a sad mannequin will melt into goo. Sylar will be resuming his commentary and responding from elsewhere, a safe distance from any heroes investigating the scene (which characters are free to do). In any case his motivation for doing this isn't just to try and get someone to volunteer to be his next victim, or even draw a hero into a battle that (he thinks) they can't possibly win (I am open for plotting plskthnx). But what his reasons are will be revealed in comments. Probably at the point where he admits that his 'murder' is all a big hoax...

[ Why now. Why right now. He's halfway angry because he already feels like he's losing his mind and now he's pissed because he has to get involved in this brand of bullshit. Someone else to save because Sylar's having a temper tantrum. ]

People aren't just going to throw themselves at you, Sylar. They'll find some way around it.

[ He tries. Though, he's somewhat sure Sylar might have just roasted someone alive, even if it isn't even remotely his style. It's possible. A lot of things are possible. And Sylar might be craving badly enough - desperate enough - to make some kind of statement regarding his need to do more. Though this sounds a touch like a plan for some sort of heist. ]

When've you ever killed people who didn't have anything to give you?

[ Nope, ignoring that for right now. ]

[ Do not go there, Sylar. Do not go there, do not go there, donotgothere. Because he refuses to believe you're speaking about him the way you did that one time, that time he broke your neck. That flippant, underhanded assumption that you know something. Because Peter much more appreciates the control here.

Because it's entirely possible that Sylar's... looking for the obvious and that's it. It doesn't have to be more than some twisted attempt to try a different tactic.

So you hold people hostage. Kill people in trucks, make a point. Wait for sacrificial offerings and you think it's going to work?

[Sabriel will arrive shortly afterwards- and thanks to her own powers, will immediately realize nobody died. Instead, she notes the plate number, frowning as she tries to make sense of what's in front of her.]

I was in Maurtia Falls when I saw the post. Are you going to explain what the point of it was, aside from ruining a car and alarming people?

And then they find out they don't. So what makes it so pointless?

[ Because that's a safe topic, right? Him doing ridiculously stupid things to save other people? It isn't about murdering anyone, it isn't about anything dangerous. ]

[ Great. Isaac's just such a fun topic. Because Isaac leads to Simone but at least Sylar doesn't know about that one. Because boy, if he did... ]

You listening to a lot of junkies these days?

Having part of that turn out to be a bluff rather ruins the effect. And you didn't make much of an effort to conceal the fact that it wasn't a real body.

[ Every time he thinks things are starting to become normal in this place, something happens to show him they're not.

He's going to ignore the fact that this maniac just created a fireball out of nothing. That's a secondary concern. The primary one is: -
]

Have you completely lost your mind?! What is it that you want?

[ Not that he has any intention of providing it, whatever it is. He'd like to know what he's dealing with, though. In the background, there are general rushed and clattering sounds, while he pulls boots on and stumbles his way out of his room. He isn't clear on exactly where the crime scene is, but by all appearances, he's going to find it. ]

Yeah? And you're paying up with mass murder? What's that doing for the world?

[ Shut up, he is not a hypocrite, you don't know anything. ]
