[ Having seen the mess on John's recent info post, Gabriel wasn't sure whether to check in on either Will or John, or both of them. He thinks Will has a point, but John has been treating him with respect and consideration lately, and he appreciates that. He eventually sends John something of a compromise, giving him 'good news' he's been holding onto. ]
Hey. My mania symptoms disappeared yesterday, so don't worry about finding a donor for me. Not sure if I can help out with any transfusions myself considering my blood type, but let me know if there happens to be anyone.

[It takes a while for John to calm down and actually get back to responding to messages after the fight with Will. It's a minor relief to know that Sylar's symptoms have dissipated, at least. It makes him less dangerous.]
Good. If they come back, let me know, and I can see about getting you started on some medication early for the mania.

[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.

You say 'thank you' when it suits your purposes.
[Okay. Maybe that was harsh.]
Sorry. That was uncalled for.

[ 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.

[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.

[ 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?

[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.

[It's late, but he doesn't care. He's hoping he won't be answered anyway.]
Good evening, John. I must apologise for my recent actions and any distress they may have caused you.
[He was only doing this for Sherlock, he wouldn't reveal his location to him unless he made several apologies.]

[It's not answered until the next morning.]
Yeah, I'm sure Sherlock told you, you must. [There's a hard edge to his tone.] Apologize to Mary if you haven't already. She's the one you hurt. And if you do anything like that again... well, we already talked about that. Imagine I'll be seeing you soon.

[He, of course, does not want to be speaking to John right now--or pretty much ever--but for Sherlock, he'd do anything.]
You'll be happy to know that I've, in fact, been mulling over the consequences of my actions. You needn't worry.
I'll send along a message to Mary, then. And I'll be meeting up with Sherlock shortly. [Hopefully.]

Dr. Watson? It's Jimmy Novak. I don't think it's turned up in the obituaries yet, but Castiel had a run-in with an anomaly a few days ago and, uh. I'm back again, for now.
Anyway, I wanted to check in with you and let you know that I'm doing alright, since it's been a while. And say thanks, for talking to Castiel about his memories like I asked you to. I didn't catch a lot of that conversation, but I know he spent a lot of time thinking about it.

[Oh, god. This isn't a great time for him. John's on his own at the moment at least.]
Uh, Jimmy. You're... right. Um... good to hear from you again. As far as the circumstances go. I'm happy I was able to talk to him. So, what have you caught about what's been going on?

[ Sorry, John. If Jimmy knew it was a bad time he'd definitely offer to call back later, but as it stands... ]
More than I was able to before? I'm still pretty lost on all of this, but I think that's more because Castiel doesn't understand it either than because he's not telling me things. Mostly there was just that... big, period of time? That wasn't actually real? I wasn't really aware for most of it.

Jesus Christ, Sherlock! I was taking a shower. We've just learned the nanomachines are 1,000 years past due on maintenance. What's that tell us? Ruminate on that.
