[ No video this time, because Erik is paranoid as fuck in the aftermath of pretty much everything. And hearing from the smiley face thing Stark pointed out initially does nothing to cure that paranoia. It takes him a while to put together the list, but it's the poem itself, that Erik recognized as familiar. Being from the sixties means he doesn't quite manage off to solve the technology aspect just yet, but he'll get there in due time. ]

Cliched poetry, [ He says, sarcastically as possible. ] like our stay here wasn't any more pleasant than it was initially.

No doubt our friends are hinting at a means of cooperation amongst us. Its implication is not one I'm fond of.

I think it's about time someone else steps up.



[ ooc: ICly shortly before Neal's post because I'm slow. Also filter is open to basically anyone with positive/decent experiences with Erik; if you've talked to him, you're on it. ]

[ All Erik needs to know; he has his own secrets, and he doesn't expect anyone else to give theirs up aside from the knowledge of being like them. The only rule Erik has in general - no humans. ]

I'll reach out to them, then. Extend my support in their direction.

Good. With Sirius-- I'll talk to him as well. He can be stubborn, at times.

[A beat.]

I'm planning on heading farther into the ship soon, to try and make a more comprehensive map of the place.

Let me know when you do. [ Erik nods in agreement. ] I've been told of a few doors I'd like my hand at, seeing as they've failed for others.

I'll try and give you precise locations. It seems ridiculous we don't know where the majority of the ship leads to, given that we live here.

Given the size of the ship in the first place, it’s to be expected. Although I’d like to know more about just why the doors are locked, but if you get past them, it would render my question moot.

No doubt there’s something hiding. The question is what.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Do you have any suspicions?

[swagneto]

Only what I've heard. Unfortunately I'd concede that being from 1962 puts me at a considerable disadvantage to everyone else. [ He sighs, running a hand through his hair. Erik can get along with the best of them, but at the end of the day he's still behind everyone else for not being fast enough in the first place. ]

Judging by the list, I had initially believed it was someone against non-humans, but that's clear its not the case. If anything it may be simply some completely different entity all together.

Or it may just be a way of toying with us. Getting our suspicions up against certain passengers.

[swagneto]

Most of my suspicions about certain passengers don’t fall under that list, however. [ Remus has a point though; if anything there’s paranoia arising just why people would fall on that list. Erik knows most of them, but the ones he doesn’t are already suspicious. ]

Do you think it would be in the ship’s best interest to stage a revolt among ourselves?

[theshabbiestofmen]

Perhaps. It certainly doesn't need a crew. We don't particularly contribute anything-- but why bring us here, if the only goal is to separate us?

video; private

[swagneto]

Fear, most likely. Dissent. I suppose the better question would be to ask what had happened to the previous crew in the first place.

[theshabbiestofmen]

And whether it was the work of the ship or the crew themselves, yes. But still-- people seem to be keeping to themselves, for the most part. Nathan Petrelli, perhaps, is a problem, and Megamind-- but besides them . . .
