Almost as thrilling as finally getting free of the damned holding cell at the Company, I find myself nominated for some Tammy awards. I'd like to thank those who nominated me, and hope that maybe some 'dreams' can come true... *leer*

Nominations
Mature Hottie
My Dream Orgy Cast (now come on, tell me you aren't just the slightest bit curious, people?)
Most Impressive Bullshitter (with two Petrellis in the running? I don't stand a chance...)
Muse You Most Want to See Tasered and Brutalized (Claude, I didn't know you cared...)

Honorable Mentions
"Is That a Banana in Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?" Best Package (Oh, definitely vote for Noah on this one. *nods*)
Livejournal Freak on a Leash Award. (Not on a leash any more...)
Person You Most Wish Celibacy On (*tsk* That's hardly polite)
Couple You NEVER Want to See (with Adam -- Peter, don't be greedy; and with Arthur -- with which I wholeheartedly agree!)
Most Villainous Villain (I'm hardly a villain -- everything I've done has been for the greater good. Well... Hmn. Perhaps I do have a chance on the bullshitter one...)

And in case anyone has questions on the 'Mature Hottie' category:

( Proof )

247. Write about a mess you've cleaned up.

You'd think a fellow like Bennet, with a wife and a baby daughter, would be more careful, wouldn't you? That given the nature of our job and the need for secrecy, he'd keep certain tools of the trade locked up securely where darling Sandra can't find them...

And, failing that, you'd think he would avoid such things as blaming his sloppiness on said baby daughter, who we gave him to take care of. After all, if he can't keep the job secret from Sandra then how are we supposed to trust him? And if he can't handle taking care of little Claire, then perhaps we should take her away and give her to someone else to raise.

But of course, when I suggest these things to him, he pleads with me to give him another chance. How am I supposed to refuse him when he begs so nicely; when he turns those puppy eyes on me and I get yet another hint of how vulnerable he can be. Hmmn... One of these days...

For now, I have to clean up his mess. Which, fortunately, I can do with a minimum of muss and fuss. I should probably point out to my dear friend Noah how lucky he is. Just a year and a half ago, the only way to fix this would have been for dear Sandra to meet with an unfortunate accident. Now we have my lovely Haitian find to take away those unwanted memories. I should remind Noah that he should be grateful. Very grateful...

243. If you could be in the Olympics (summer or winter), what event/sport would you want to do most? Why?

I could be predictable and say shooting since it's a skill I use at work, but I've never liked being predictable. It often has unpleasant results, like permanent disabilities -- or death -- and I don't intend to repeat that lovely experience for a long, long time.

However, there are other skills I use at work; things I keep up with to keep myself fit -- and alive. Not to mention a bit of... sport, shall we say? From time to time. There's always judo or taekwondo, but I'd probably fare better in boxing. There's a lot of tradition there, with a number of military-trained boxers entering the Olympics. Of course, I'd be the old man on the team, but I can think of far worse things...

Yes, I'd probably go with boxing. A lot of the other skills I've honed over the years don't fit themselves neatly into an Olympic sport -- and more's the pity, considering some of the fine specimens of human fitness that populate the games. Hmmn. There's always party time at the Olympic village...

Show us where you live

I assume there's something psychological you're actually looking for here. I suppose I could even give you a very interesting response that would give you hours of entertainment analyzing me. However, I'm really just not interested in doing that right now.

Ignoring, of course, the fact that by answering in this manner, I've already given you enough material to start a lovely case study. Believe me, I know how it works. I've been on the other side of this fence for years.

So. Show you where I live. It's a state-of-the-art medical facility housed in the headquarters of a company that shall remain nameless.

It's quite nice, as hospitals and medical facilities go; at least for the people who actually work here. The labs are very clean and have the most modern equipment money can buy. The fellow in charge has a... golden touch, you might say.

The guests have private rooms -- well, single-occupancy rooms would be more accurate, because any privacy we have is nothing but an illusion. Even those of us who do not have observation windows are monitored around the clock. That's just the way things go at the Company.

The rooms are clean, impersonal, and the beds are too damned small. Not that I'd be bringing anyone into mine without some way to shut off the monitors. Or at least the ones connected to the recording devices.

To be honest -- and I know there are those of you out there quite capable of reading between the lines -- the place could actually do with some renovations...

24.3 - Experiences I'd prefer not to repeat

1. Being shot in the head
2. Dying
3. Being turned into an experiment
4. Finding out that "You might experience some discomfort" is Bob's way of saying "you're going to feel like your head is turning inside out"
5. Discovering that being turned into an experiment means I've become a long-time resident of the medical wing
6. Having to hope that the man who shot me in the head and killed me is willing to help me escape

226. Name three things that you're looking forward to in the near future and why.

First and foremost, I'm looking forward to getting out of here. I'd really like for it to happen with a minimum of muss and fuss, but something tells me that's just not an option any more. I'm pretty sure that my value as a successful experiment outweighs my value as an employee -- I'm also pretty sure that as long as someone like Bob is in charge, my freedom as a whole will be... limited. I'm... displeased, shall we say, with my abrupt change in status, although I suppose lab rat and project is a step up from dead body.

Second, I'm looking forward to Bennet getting out of here. He'll deal with my problem quite handily, which will keep me from having to actually do anything about it myself. I may have to persuade him not to shoot me, too, but that's still preferable to the current situation.

[Locked] And third, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the younger of the fabulous flying Petrelli brothers. I'd like to... thank him properly for my newfound enlightenment when it comes to the plight of Specials. I'd like to do a whole hell of a lot more than that, too... I have a feeling it might be a highly... satisfying meeting all around. [/Locked]

From Bennet. I'll make sure I have a teleporter available, then.
