Application: Elle Bishop (Heroes)

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

Elle blinks a few times, confused by her surroundings. The last thing she remembers is leaving Isaac Mendez's loft, having saved that cute Dr. Suresh and those girls from Sylar. She hadn't really wanted to go back to the facility and face her father and spent a little time wandering aimlessly through the streets of New York.

But apparently she took a wrong turn at Albequerque because she has no idea where she is right now.



Mickey coughs theatrically. "'What is your name?'"

The voices startles her and she takes a moment to process what she's seeing before she replies, in a small voice, "Elle Bishop."

"What is your quest?" asks the Cat. It's perched, suddenly, on the roof of one of the gate-stiles.

Does she even have a quest? She's not sure. But she realizes she needs to come up with something. "Um... to prove my worth to my father." That sounds as good as anything.

"'What is the average w..?'" Mickey frowns down at the notebook. "You know, I don't really see why that's important." He flips a page. "'If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be?'"

Elle has a lot more than three wishes, so she takes a moment to consider her options and narrow it down to the three best. "I wish my father would let me move into my own apartment," she says. Because what she really wants more than anything is freedom. "I wish that Peter hadn't run away." Because he was really cute. And if she's getting some privacy, she has ideas on how to make use of it. She hesitates before admitting her third wish. "I wish I knew the truth about what my father has done to me."

"Or," the Cat says, examining its tail with interest, "if you were a genie and someone you were trying to give three wishes to was trying to trick you into giving him more, what would you say?"

"I would tell them not to be greedy or I'd zap them," Elle says. It's possibly a little disturbing that she doesn't need to think as much about that one.

Mickey looks rather nonplused at the next, but reads, "'When the revolution comes, what skills will you be able to barter for food?'"

Elle's eyes grow wide. "There's a revolution coming? I... I'm not sure if I have any skills to barter. Maybe protection or something? Unless someone can figure out a way to harness my electricity to power things."

The Cat rolls its eyes in a friendly (and rather disconcertingly out-of-sync) way, and asks, "Milk, dark, or white chocolate?"

"Any chocolate is totally fine with me," Elle says. "But I only get that as a special treat."

"'Choose the two coolest: robots, pirates, fairies, bears, ninjas, monkeys, vampires, or humans,'" says Mickey, giggling a bit as he goes through the list. "'Explain.'"

"Fairies, definitely," Elle says. "I always wanted to be a fairy princess or have a fairy godmother. They are just the luckiest. And, uh... I guess monkeys. They are cute and cuddly."

"Great!" Mickey flips through the blank pages of the notebook at top, cartoon-y speed. "Well, I think that's just about it! Oh, and I'm supposed to ask, 'for your safety: are you carrying anything sharp?'"

Elle pats her pockets. "No, nothing sharp. Just my inate abilities." She lifts her hand, concentrates for a moment and creates a ball of electricity, which she bounces a few times.


((Elle Bishop is from Heroes and is being taken post Series 2; She has the ability to generate electricity, is a diagnosed sociopath and sadist, and suffers a distinct lack of social skills due to being hidden away from society for the majority of her life. Yes, Sylar-mun knows about my app :) I'm a new player and very excited about this opportunity!))

"Hi, Elle. I'm Cayce Pollard. Welcome to bizarre extradimensional Disneyland." She stayed back a few steps; anyone who could bounce a ball of electricity probably merited a reasonably wide berth.

(And she marveled for the nth time how easy it was to get used to, well, anything. Even girls who generated electrical fields.)

Elle let the ball of electricity fizzle as Cayce approached. "Disneyland? Really?"

She had always wanted to go to Disneyland but her father told her it was too dangerous.

"Yep. Except not the one in Southern California. It looks like it in pretty much every respect, but as you can see if you look out the gate—" she pointed, as usual without looking, "there's no California. This is somewhere outside of normal space-time, I guess you could say."

"How did I get here?" Elle asked. "I was in New York."

[katoustheshit.livejournal.com]

It's probably the mentioning of father's that gets Katou's attention. It might not have even attracted him if he hadn't just had a talk with Setsuna (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_land/240593.html) about his own family.

"Why exactly would you wanna prove your worth to your father?"

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

"Because... I don't like letting him down," Elle says. Her voice is hesitant though; she wonders if she would feel that way if she had proof that he let her down.

[katoustheshit.livejournal.com]

"Oh," said Katou. "Do you guys get along then?" Even if they didn't he had no doubt she'd probably lie about it, but it didn't hurt to ask. From that answer, there was the possibility that he had just gotten the wrong impression.

Elle shrugs. "He's my dad."

It was with a certain amount of bracing himself that Adam went down to the entrance plaza to meet the new arrival. There sure were a lot of crazy and powerful people showing up lately. He wished he could shake the voices saying that they belonged to him...

Thus it was that a blond young man looking something like a greek god, albeit one in an old t-shirt and battered jeans approached her, smiled, and said, "Hullo, Elle. I'm Adam."

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

Elle gave him a puzzled look. "No you're not."

At least he wasn't the Adam she knew.

[average-adam.livejournal.com]

"I'm... not?" he repeated. "Well, I'm not the first one. But I was named after him."

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

"Oh, so you're not the Adam I knew before," Elle said. That made her a little sad, since it would be nice to have a friend.

On the other hand, this Adam was pretty cute.

Well, new people were always fun to meet, so it was with great pleasure that Lilly moseyed down to the gates to greet the new arrival.

Except that she couldn't actually find the new arrival. There was Veronica, though. "Hey, Veronica. Where's the new girl?"

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

Elle didn't realize that the girl was talking to her, so she didn't reply. She was way too enthralled by checking out the scenery.

[ive-never-not.livejournal.com]

"Hello? Earth to Mars?" Lilly rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Veronica, what is so fascinating about Creepy-Ass Fake Disneyland all of a sudden?"

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

"Are you talking to me?" Elle asked, realizing that there was no one else around.

[hear-the-drums.livejournal.com]

Well, the Master may not know she was sociopathic and sadistic –though knowing that would have only endeared her to him more–, but she happened to be a blond, skinny thing with daddy issues. Which was a familiar scenario to him.

And let's say that electric spark caught his attention.

"Now, I'm fairly certain a talent like that could win you a great sum of money on some sort of reality television show," he commented offhandedly on his approach.

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

Elle bounced the ball a few more times before closing her hand and letting the electricity fizzle out. "Know of any good reality shows around here?"

[hear-the-drums.livejournal.com]

"Arguably, this whole place is one," he said, grinning in that way that didn't reach his eyes. "As we're all clearly here on someone or something's whim, and are likely being watched and mused and gossiped over at every moment."

He pulled a white paper bag from his pocket, pulled something bright yellow from it, and popped it into his mouth. "Unfortunately, no prize money has been handed out, so I'd say we're all getting gypped and should find a way to break our contracts." He held the bag out to her. "Jelly baby?"

Okay, so the universe (multiverse, or park, or whatever) was totally just fucking with him now. First his not-sister, and now...

Of course, knowing Veronica, it was still entirely possible that she was the one messing with his head. But he was kind of thinking 'no' on that.

Either way: "...Hi."

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

Ooooh he was cute, Elle decided.

She smiled. "Hi."

[thebadboyfriend.livejournal.com]

...And not a lot to work with there on which he was dealing with. Logan fished up Charming Smirk #23 and said, "Come here often?"

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

"All righty, Elle. You ready to find out which of our excitin' lands you're gonna live in?"

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Elle said. This was the best mistake she had ever made.

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

"Gosh! I was thinkin' you'd like to be in Toon Town. That's where I live, ya know, and I let all the people I like best stay there."
