001 | video | i should've been a cowboy

[noflying]

[ There's a cowboy on the ship.

Well, cowboy isn't an accurate term – Jake Lonergan doesn't herd cows for a living. In fact, he used to rob people for a living, but he only knows that through seeing his face on a wanted poster and people saying they know him and little fragments of memories. Either way, “outlaw” is a better technical fit than “cowboy”… but he’ll take cowboy if he has to, if it means not explaining that he’s an outlaw.

Either way, he’s on the ship, and in front of him is a shot of whiskey – and next to it, a newly opened bottle of whiskey. His hat’s down low and he doesn't say anything for a moment before his head lifts a little, just enough for bright blue eyes to peer out at the camera and for him to speak, voice low and somehow dusty. ]

Free shot to the first person who can tell me somethin' interesting or useful that wasn't in all that reading.

[ There's a pause as a border collie noses its head up and Jake scratches it behind the ears. ] Nathan, your definition of interesting doesn't necessarily count.

He was here on the ship once upon a time.

[ ... and then he killed him. but that, of course, isn't information sylar plans to share. ]

[heroisms]

[ it's a good thing peter doesn't really have a lot of moral high ground on this one because why are you still here? he always knew that this was coming, but he'd had hope you wouldn't be— well, something. here or home, peter's pretty sure you shouldn't be in either. (he's a sweet little hypocrite like that.) ]

I bet you didn't get along.

[ That's a nicer way to answer than can i punch you in the face with a nuclear fist? ]
