[b]Myriah - Outpost - Matt[/b]

Matt seemed to be genuine in his excitement, but Myriah wasn't entirely convinced. She had never been able to get a good read on him. At the very least, she understood he wasn't the biggest fan of the council, but otherwise... "If you're busy, we can just work around that," she said, standing up. "I'll tell Richard and Sarah that you plan on speaking with them tomorrow."

She then made her way to one of the bookcases and examined the bottom shelf. There had to be language dictionaries around here [i]somewhere[/i]. "And I'll keep in mind your grievances about the council. I can't make any promises, but if change is destined to happen, then it will happen, even if takes some time."

The next day, Myriah was happy to see that people really were showing up for classes. Although Sarah's French class had attracted a whopping twelve individuals (At least five more than Myriah even expected), Richard's sign language class had only attracted seven, and one of those were Richard's brother Elliot. It was unfortunate to see as Myriah had largely started this for Elliot's sake, but perhaps once more members of the community started using other languages, there would be an increase in attendance.

The administrative building was already so packed with the cafeteria, council room, and the clinic, that the two classes were forced into rooms at opposite sides of the building. Further language classes would have to share the rooms and Myriah wasn't sure how she should schedule things. With the people on the wall being on rotation all hours of the day, there had been scheduling conflicts to consider, but for now both classes were to occur once a day, with French at nine in the morning and sign language at eleven in the morning.

With Richard's class about to begin, Myriah gestured to the man to speak with him. She spoke only in sign language, hoping those in attendance liked what they saw. [i]"Not a big turn out."[/i] Myriah's signing was slow and precise. She had always been a bit of a perfectionist and her signing reflected that, even if Richard and Elliot found it a bit slow. [i]"But once Reggie and his scouts return today, perhaps some of them will be willing to learn as well."[/i]

Richard frowned at her. Despite not being deaf himself, Richard had been using sign language for the past twenty years, ever since his parent's learned that their second child had been born deaf. He used sign language in turn, probably knowing that Elliot and Myriah were the only ones in the room who would understand him. [i]"Reggie won't want classes interfering with his training. And no on the wall wants anything to do with this either. Sarah is an attractive woman, so it's no wonder she had more people interested."[/i]

That fact had not been lost on Myriah, but she hadn't wanted to admit it. [i]"Please, I promise I will get you more members. Matt said he would help with the classes and Sylar should be able to help as well. Teach what you can to those who are interested and I know more will follow."[/i]

Richard didn't look convinced. He turned away from Myriah and began speaking with his class. Myriah saw that as her cue to leave, but she stole a glance toward Elliot before she left the room. For once in a long time, the boy didn't look entirely miserable.

[b]Reggie - The Pub - Enrique[/b]

Despite getting his scouts up at the first sign of late, Reggie was forced to extend their stay at The Pub when Hazel had been insistent in her desire to cook breakfast for everyone. Equipped with the supplies the scouts gave her yesterday, Hazel had prepared a meal with only minimal help, prompting Jerry to call the girl a miracle worker. Of course, no matter Hazel's prowess in the kitchen, most of the scouts were sapped of their energy due to yesterday's events. The meal was largely eaten in silence.

As the meal was finished, preparations to leave began and Reggie approached Sylar once again. "I've given you the night, but now's the time to decide. You could always join a weeks from now, but our latest operation can't be put off. The gang that shot Meghan will be out for blood and I'll need the best of what Outpost has to offer."
