[that it does. GOOD THING THEY'RE HERE NOW. if only there was ... a place to park in the god damn parking garage ... sylar is working on it tho.] In moments like these, sometimes I remember that I miss New York.

[bittersweeter]

God I would kill to go back there. [Saddest ever, okay, she is a Manhattanite born and breed.] You know people actually think the hot dogs here are better than in the city? Like, really.

[watchmaker]

[just because he's from queens doesn't mean he can't claim the city as his own tbh. or at least be more loyal to it than chicago.] Oh, I know. [he wrinkles his nose and makes an "ugh gross" face.] Same with pizza. They're so uncultured.

[bittersweeter]

Swine. [Which she says kind of fondly, like one would say to a small adorable child who doesn't know any better. Look, Chicago has one good thing going for it.]

[watchmaker]

[it's his d, isn't it? lbr it's totally his d.] I know, right? Pizza's not pizza if you can't fold it and become overwhelmed by grease.

[and they finally find a parking spot! ~~~~miracles~~~~ ]

[bittersweeter]

[It is. Shhhh, it's a secret.]

Maybe they have fried dough here? That's impossible to fuck up, right?

[RIGHT?! Also she really likes food. And is now starving.]

[watchmaker]

I sure as hell hope so. I think there are bars and restaurants here, too. ... Oh! And a Haagen-Dazs.

[it's ok, him too. rapidly regenrating cells give you a high metabolism man. and he's just a fatty.]

[bittersweeter]

[omg she loves him.]

Haagen-Dazs?

[Have you ever seen a child knowing they're not going to get something from the store and then when they're walking out of the store their parent/guardian pulls the toy out of the bag?

That expression.]

[watchmaker]

Haagen-Dazs.

[he repeats it like it's some sacred, magical word. BECAUSE IT IS.]

[bittersweeter]

[Car flipping and Haagen-Dazs. jfc this is how you woo a girl.]

Are you trying to bribe me with food?

[watchmaker]

I was excited for my own sake, actually. If it ends up as a bribe for you, that's just a happy little side effect.

[bittersweeter]

What would the purpose of this possible bribe be?

[watchmaker]

I don't know, you're the one who thought of it in the first place. You have to give me time to get a proper scheme going.

[bittersweeter]

[To be fair, she always brings up bribery. Her criminal brain, okay, that's just where it goes.] I'll wait. So... dismal hot dogs, fried dough, and then ice cream?

[watchmaker]

[it's ok, it'll come in handy sooner or later. that's why he keeps her around.] Do we have to do the hot dogs?

[bittersweeter]

They're gross, but I am really hungry. [A beat.] Better than cat food.

[watchmaker]

I don't know about that. I'm pretty sure they put cat food in those things. [NOW THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AW YEAH. and walking. that's a thing.]

[bittersweeter]

[And we're walking, we're walking, and we're walking.]

Have you eaten cat food?

[watchmaker]

Not unless you count that one Chinese restaurant in Hyde Park.

[bittersweeter]

[Big ol' guffaw of laughter right there. Well played, sir. Well played. ]

I might actually count that...

[watchmaker]

[YES goal achieved. she has an adorable laugh, okay.] Good. Well, maybe not so good actually. But hey, if you want to wreak havoc on your digestive system with that stuff, by all means.

[bittersweeter]

Do you have anything better in mind? [Since she really doesn't care she is just that hungry. And 37 pieces of fried dough is surprisingly not filling....]

[watchmaker]

[i decided to do a knowledge: streetwise check to see if sylar knew about any of the restaurants at navy pier besides haagen daz and since he got a 22 i guess he has the psychic ability of sensing where all the food is ever!! or just used his superhearing to hear what people in the area are chatting about. most likely that one.]

I don't know. Gyros, maybe?

[bittersweeter]

What the fuck is a Gyro? [idfk three years a cat... she missed a lot. Apprently she missed that.]

[watchmaker]

[w o w girl how uncultured are you.] A Mediterranean sandwich? It was just a suggestion.
