Yeah, I'll definitely do that if it comes back again. I've noticed that the MN poisoning seems to change if there's a break in between, but it'd be good to stay on top of it, whatever it is.

Thanks, by the way. For helping me with this.

[jumpthegun]

[The way that's written... John's paranoia rears up. Then again, it's his own damn fault for not making that a private conversation.]

You're welcome. You don't need to coddle me just because I've had a row with Mr. Graham, Gabriel.

[termineur]

[ He rolls his eyes before responding. ]

Take it how you want. I don't say 'thank you' lightly.

[jumpthegun]

You say 'thank you' when it suits your purposes.

[Okay. Maybe that was harsh.]

Sorry. That was uncalled for.

[termineur]

[ He feels that rising spike of anger, and he wonders why he bothered. Yes, nearly everything he does is calculated, but it still means something. Right? A small sign of trust, an admission that someone had done something to help him. It's just the way his brain works, timing it. Maybe this was a mistake--

The apology is unexpected enough to get him to stop and think for a moment. John has always been able to tie him up in knots, especially when they're both doing poorly.

He responds after a minute or two. ]

Maybe. But I can't blame you for thinking that way. I'm trying not to do that here, but you've got no evidence for that.

I'm going to try to go through all the old network posts and info gathering. I'd like to see if I can't dig up any buried clues, now that we know more about what was going on here. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting. I'm hoping your summaries will help keep me organized.

[jumpthegun]

[No. He doesn't. And even if calling the man out had been uncalled for, John can't help thinking he was right still. That doesn't mean he can't be civil... and just pretend like that part of the conversation didn't just happen.]

I don't have anything from back in the really early days. If you have a copy of my casebook, that has some of the stuff by day back to Day 101. Good luck with the rest of it. I don't envy you that task. Think Davesprite tried something like it, though. Might want to talk to him.

[termineur]

[ Yep, let's just ignore that moment for the time being. He's glad John moves on. ]

I didn't know Davesprite gave it a shot. I'll talk to him about it. I know it's kind of a long shot that I'd find anything useful, but it couldn't hurt.

And I think your casebook was before my time, actually. Would you mind sending a copy?

Please pretend he said 104, not 101. /facepalm

[jumpthegun]

[John sends along the properly redacted version of his casebook for Sylar to peruse.]

There's not much to do at nights apart from read, I suppose. Let us know if you do find something. Might want to keep a particular eye out for what happened during major errors.

[termineur]

Yep. Think we'll have a new context for at least some of the earlier ones, but we'll see.

Good night, Doctor. Thanks for the casebook.
