[His eyes are peeking betwixt ungloved fingers, wide and wild. Edward does not blink throughout the entire transmission, but his pupils are consistently darting to and fro, darting about at a hummingbird’s pace. He looks disheveled, wretched and yet glowing with some intangible, nigh-golden force.]

I can—I have tried—over these past few hours—youhavetounderstanditisalotto—

[A pause. He seems captivated by something; he takes a deep, sensual breath.]

Cameron—who? Their safety—John and—and—Kyle and GLaDOS and who--? That can’t stop the cold. The lonely—that feeling won’t—look, I’m sorry—

[Grabs at the communicator, shaking it.]

Don’t. Don’t ignore this. The Porter—Don’t attack. I can see it, feel it, God it’s almost like being it, Alastair, don’t yield to that—It can’t end well—bloody hell, someone stop him! Someone stop it.

[A crack in his voice; the strain is apparent.]

Desire. Please. Stop it.

ooc || Eddie’s been hooked to the Threshold! That means he’ll be spewing desires from this permissions post throughout the span of comments here. If your desire wasn’t mentioned in the opening (didn’t want to bullet the material) fret not! Eddie will be sure to play the sibyl to someone.

Are you okay? Do you need help?

Daniel.

I can feel your desires.

That sounds like horrid dialogue from a soap opera...

And here I thought someone was in trouble.

Not as much as you are.

[A pause]

I don't know what you mean.

So if I say Norman Osborn is yet living, you say...?

If you're trying to get a reaction from me, you'll have to try harder.

How come he gets more women than you do?

Because I'm engaged.

[Pause.]

Why would you do that? A man of your profession?

Why sign her death warrant like that?

Misty can handle herself. She always has. Always will.

How much would it hurt? If it was all because of you?

[A long silence]

[Pause. Someone can smirk through the chaos in his mind, it seems.]

I want to talk with you. Not now. Later. In person.

I want to help.

Help with what, exactly? I'm done with Osborn. This past week was a slip-up. That's all.

Osborn isn't my concern. At the moment.

[Paaauuuse.]

You have potential. And I'm curious to see if I can encourage that potential.

I'm 34. I think I passed the 'potential' mark.

Rules have changed. Unless you've got a magical ticket home, my dear fellow, you're faced with either great loss or great opportunity here.

[Silence. Then, a deep breath.]

[Perhaps his smirk is evident through his tone.]

Good. Very good. You're a man with vision, Daniel, and that's useful.

My Lor--pardon me, Desire had assured me that this will be over by tomorrow. I'll see you the day after.

Have you a preference of location?

... No. No preference.

Wait. "This"? What is "this" exactly?

I-- [Pause. Deep breath.] I'm aware of Desire's reign during the past week. Hence--hence why people have reacted... Ardently about personal things.

Desire? You speak as if it's a per-

[Pause]

... Are you sure you're alright?

[Gritted teeth.]

I am. Perfectly fine.

Ah-huh.

You don't look so fine.
