The Roof, Thursday afternoon

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a beautiful day, but it wasn't raining, wasn't snowing, wasn't particularly cold, and Walter was just in the mood to sit on the roof, smoke a cigarette, and ponder this matter of having a doppelganger.

Maybe he'd jump a little later. Bonus points if he scared the skin off of a new person.

[ooc: Ze roof, she is open. Thread with Walter and Peter Petrelli (can't even say Peter P.) locked, plz.]

Pippi walked up to the roof with a small backpack.

"Oh... Walter. Hi!"

She seems disconcerted at first but is ultimately happy to see her best friend.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Hey." Walter tilted his head at her questioningly. Seeing Pippi even briefly disconcerted was unusual. "What's new?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I went to see Dr. Wilson in the clinic yesterday... And Pip left this morning for a funeral."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I heard he was in the clinic. What happened?" Walter waved her over. "Come here. Whose funeral? Family?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi walked over to Walter for hugs.

"Bel said that Dr Wilson went to LA to talk to Angel about... headaches or something? And was attacked. And he's just laying in a bed and there's beeping machines and Mr. Phale looks like he hasn't slept and I don't even know if he does sleep. And he said it wasn't family, it was some officer he said he hardly knows and he was kinda... I don't know."

Walter wrapped Pippi in his arms and hugged her tightly. He couldn't know what sort of "I don't know" Pip was, but he was going to guess professional distance.

But Dr. Wilson, for all that he'd stuck some questionable item in Walter's head, had done it to save his life, and Walter owed him his life for that.

"You're worried about them both?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, obviously Dr. Wilson is in a worse way but... I'm not a doctor, I can't do anything but be there and talk to him and stuff. I understand what my role in that is."

Compelled by his dream of that morning, Peter decided to at least see if he could get to the roof of the dorms.

Happily surprised that he didn't even have to try breaking any locks, he was too lost in his own thoughts to notice anybody else there just yet.

[ooc: Can't even say New York Peter either. Damn you Fandom!]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter stubbed out his cigarette and waved to the new guy. "Hi. You're either new, or someone is going to get an A in Disguise class. Do we have a Disguise class?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"If we do I want in on it," Peter said. He gave a wave. "Hey. Peter Petrelli. One of the new kids."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Walter Dornez," Walter said, nodding in acknowledgement. "Not Speartyke, he's shorter. How are you finding Fandom so far?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Good to meet you, Walter. So far it's been great," Peter said. He looked around, getting his bearings. "What's your stance on all this talk about gremlins and demons?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shrugged and held his hand parallel to the roof, tilting it side to side. "For the record, one doesn't always suck, but the other does."

Poor new guy. "Bel's a demon. He's not so bad. My girlfriend turned into a gremlin and bit me, causing me to think I was my employer for the day. That sucked."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"So none of that is a metaphor, huh?" Peter asked. "There really is..." Peter tried to think of a good word for it. "Supernatural stuff going on?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I thought I could fly," Peter told Walter. He tried to stand under his own weight to see if he could.

[zis thread, she is open]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Huh? "Did you eat some of the Chef's cooking?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I had some food from the 4th floor common room yesterday," Peter said.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Then why did you do something so stupid?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I was hungry?" Peter said, his brain apparently still up around the 2nd floor.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Are you always stupid when you're hungry?" Given Walter's own problems when he was too hungry, he wasn't ready to discount the idea.

Sam ran over, which convenient as she'd been on a run. "Peter? What happened? Are you alright?" She'd seen Peter falling and Walter catching him, but not much else.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Some scrapes," Peter said. He gave Sam a sheepish look. Apparently he was destined to always have an older sibling of some kind close by.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Did you fall?" This wasn't in the big sibling handbook. Not that there was an actual handbook, that she knew of.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I... jumped," Peter admitted. "Walter caught me."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Thank God. Sam closed her eyes for a second, then opened them and prepared to read Peter the riot act. "Why?"
