Notes from the Underground

[Zeek/elhaym]

i smirk at him. "your wrong.... it is you who has never lived under capitalism. i on the other hand have watched your race, as well as the weak human race for generations... true somethings are better then when capitalism was in control,. but others are not, you say everyone is equal, and that there is no rich or poor. when is the last time you actually traveled anywhere other then when your master tells you to, or where he tells you to".

[Illidan]

"So you have been around longer. You see Capitalism is an invisible oppression, everyone thinks they are free when really they are not. That is why it is worse. Capitalism is an illusion, a grand self perpetuating illusion. People think that they can get ahead, but they are prisoners to war, to competition, to greed, to poverty, and to class. To make things worse, it warps people morally into believing that things like greed and class are good!! At least in places like Cuba, Russia, and China, although repressive and lacking freedom, there was employment, things were shared, education was offered, and none went without medical care. That does not make these systems right. In periods through their socialist histroy, they slaughtered their own people with guns. Histroy reminds us that this is wrong. Millions died in purges. But how many un noticed and unseen millions died under capitalism because of poverty or because they could not get medical care. Far more, far more. So do not tell me what system is right or wrong. You have lived long enough to see how capitalism was indeed a silent killer, the carbon monoxide of socieo-economic systems."

Illidan walks away from the woman. He has no desire to speak further. He spoke the truth and now had nothing more to say.

((Hmm...can anyone tell that I am anti capitalist.... ))

[Silver Crystal]

You look troubled. I never am becasue I don't care about what others say or that they hardly notice me, yet they stare.

Silver says, walking out of a crowd toward Mistress Dragon. She leans down and puts her face infount of Mistress's looking down face.

What the hell do you think they stare at? Probably never saw a girl with a dragon tail before, or clawed hands, maybe with pointed ears... they annoy me through. Don't people annoy you?

Silver smiles standing up stright.

Wanna go watch that contest thing? Bet at least one of 'em poor fools makes a idoit of themself.

Silver says, and grins at Mistress.

[Zeek/elhaym]

i bite my lip, drawing some blood. i glance towards the way he was walking, i wanted to fire an energy blast at him... but i couldnt, not now that i was surrounded by red infinity personal... 'soon illidan.....' i look forward, he was right...., but he was only saying facts about capitalism to distract everyone from the truth of red infiniity, i glance at everyone taht was staring at me, giving them each a cold look before i look ahead again. '.... hopefully you will go to battle in chi kage', i sigh and step out of line, i had to get away from all of these red infinity person all before i lost it.

. i sigh with relief as she leaves then look forward again.... if what he said was true. then i would have to think of another topic. i shrug it off, so what if i repeated some of what he said. i had it in my mind first.... look around, not feeling so good about doing this

[Moira]

"Come on Akira, you can do it, talk about how women are equal in politics these days!!" I had to give her a little help. She is shy about talking in front of people.

[Fate]

With a soft sigh my shoulders decline slightly and I continue walking along the sidewalks as I watch the tanks in the may day parade go by me.

"There has got to be something more interesting than watching these pathetic excuses for machines crawl down the streets."

As I take a turn into a local bar I sit at a stool and look through the window as I wait in the hope that someone I recognize will passby.

[Zeek/elhaym]

i continual walking then transform into a hawk, i take off into the air and head towards the chi kage.

. i sigh and smile at her. ~moira* i was thinking along those lines, but i cant do this.... i mean im more of a desk person, the most i have ever talked infront of a crowd was most likely.... with you and the others back at the apartment...~, i look forward again and shake my head, thinking of how to put it

[Moira]

"That's okay, you don't have to do it. You're still a beauty queen to me." I smile at her.

[LaSombra]

Bored with the hunting of his kindred who had betrayed him LaSombra decided to resume the hunt on Peter.

He had heard about a fight of some sort going on after a big parade and decided to see if Peter showed up there.

After all, Peter didn't seem like the kind of man that would miss an oppurtunity to give a display of his power to the weaklings.

[Akira]

. i frown and sigh, i step towards the stage and glance around trying to fool my mind so i wouldnt see anyone except the one i love, i smile at moira, keeping my eyes on her, "if i could change the world.... i would make it so that your are equal not matter what you are, race, gender, age. right now red ifninity hunts down those that it sees a threat such as the angels. but if i could change the world, i would make it so that we give everyone atleast one chance, we would accept them for who they are and not try to change them. red infinity kills those that believe in gods, that may seem like inequality to some, but the belief of gods just give people false hope, and make them do things they will regret. but if we were all equal, we wouldnt have to have false hope, because there will be alot more real hope for everyone". .

((... ah, yea, i suck at this..... lol, seriously....))

[Moira]

The speech was a little critical of Red Infinity so it might not fly too well, but it was a good speech. I clap to support her. "Good job!"

[Dionysus]

Dionysus swirls his hands in the air, making sighs and symbols and nonsense as glittering shards of glittering crystal.

The shards fly forwards and gather, forming themselves to the dragon's will. The sculpture was coming along very well, it was nearly half done.

She'd like this, he was sure of it.

[Chastity]

Through the cacaphony of intermingled sounds cuts one of distinction. It sounds so familiar, It is a single word that I know that I should recognize. I try to let my mind process it, shoving aside all other noises and even relegating the blinding colors to a corner of my thoughts.

The one word hangs before me like a ladder rope leading to distinguishable thought. My mind sounds out its curves and lines, trying to understand it.

Suddenly, realization hits. I know that word. It is my name.

My eyelids flicker with the thought.

I lay and wait for the voice to speak again, listening only for its tones, the voice that I can hear and understand.

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter is on his feet and crouched besides the medical bed instantly. She had moved, if just a twitch. He holds her hand in his and stares at her closed eyes, willing them to open once more. "Chastity? Chastity, it's alright now. You can wake up, your safe. You safe..."

[Chastity]

The voice comes again, speaking that word, speaking my name.

I want to respond, to stand up and shake off death and this prison of my mind, but I can only sense my thoughts and those colors and sounds... and that voice. Perhaps there really is no more body, perhaps I am now only a stream of conscious thought, and mostly disjointed and incoherent thought at that.

Chastity.

My name is Chastity, and I know that if I can just cling onto this voice and what he says, somehow I will find a way back into reality.
