On literally walking into the barrier at The Box

[seekevolution]

You just wanted to use the broken nose images, didn't you?

You broke your nose? Are you okay?

[seekevolution]

My writer find it amusing to put me in terrible situations.

But yes. I'll be fine.

[stopitshirotime]

Er, he shouldn't find it amusing. You were hurt. He should apologize.

[Hiro nods with finality.]

[seekevolution]

Apologize... I'm lucky I didn't end up worse.

[stopitshirotime]

Worse?

[Maybe Hiro could go back in time and stop Suresh from walking into the barrier...]

[seekevolution]

Far worse. Not too long ago I was caught under a building and--

[Sorry, Hiro.]

Its been awkward.

[bisexualfury]

*is staring at his nose*

It doesn't look broken.

[seekevolution]

Luckily, that was quite a bit ago.

[bisexualfury]

Oh. Can I poke it?

[seekevolution]

Can you--

I'd rather you didn't.

[bisexualfury]

Why not? IS IT BECAUSE I'M BISEXUAL?

[seekevolution]

[Uh.]

O-of course not. I don't want anyone poking my nose regardless of their sexuality.

[bisexualfury]

But how else would you know it's no longer broken?

[seekevolution]

It's no longer bruised and it doesn't ache. If it is still broken, it's giving me no trouble.

[Don't go poking easily spooked geneticists!]

[bisexualfury]

Or so you think.

[but Smudge likes poking things! Not brains though. Not yet.]

[seekevolution]

[Not ever. Don't start on brain poking. Brain poking leads to all sorts of drama.]

So I hope.

[bisexualfury]

[But they're so soft and squishy omg.]

Oh.

[Smudge resigns himself to just staring at Mohinder's nose, in the hope that by doing so he might perhaps accurately determine its degree of intactness.

Eyebrows intensify.]

[seekevolution]

[No eyebrows either. They do not need intensifying. They are ALREADY incredibly intense, okay?]

Are you--

[Great now he's self-conscious about his nose.]

I'm fine, there's absolutely no reason to worry.

[bisexualfury]

[Noses are such strange objects, sticking out people's faces like that.]

Am I what?

[seekevolution]

Just going to stare at me?

[bisexualfury]

Yes.

[seekevolution]

Why-- It's...off putting.

[bisexualfury]

Like the barrier was to your nose?

[seekevolution]

That was more painful than uncomfortable.

[bisexualfury]

What's so uncomfortable about me staring at you?

[seekevolution]

The staring. Anyone's staring.

[bisexualfury]

What would happen if I don't stop?

[seekevolution]

I would rather not quarrel with you.

[Or storm off. He might do that. Mohinder's good at running.]

[bisexualfury]

Oh. Yeah, that's a good idea. We might end up fighting, and you might break your nose again.

[Smudge is good at chasing.]

[seekevolution]

I'm afraid most of the fight is out of me.

[And he isn't sure if Smudge means to hit him or run him into another wall.]

[bisexualfury]

Where did it go?

[Smudge assumes that Mohinder would be accident-prone enough to not need Smudge's assistance in nose-breaking.]
