Bleeding For An Answer

[Irvine Kinneas]

Well, I guess we could try that.

I try to think of more palindromes.

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter sighs and lays a hand on Chastity's hand. "I'm sorry Chastity. I'm still getting used to these new feelings. Given what you say there are a few different opinions.

You could be possessed but that is unlikily. The coma might have caused chemicals to mix in your brain and created a new foresight. Or, it could be that our higher power has something it wishes you to know."

Peter gently rubs her hand, trying to be comforting. He's not so good at it but maybe it's the thought that counts.

"I'll do whatever needs to be done. If this vision of your's is going to happen then we'll have to try and stop it."

[RT]

"No, you got it all wrong, in the long run, that is why we exist. Lady Violet set this ministry up to build bridges with the rebels and to stop the human rights violations." I take a seat on a small blue plastic chair and kick my feet up on the kidney table. "This is for real."

[Chastity]

"Right."

I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and stand up, a little wobbly, on my legs. The muscles are unused to the work, but they will start to get back into the habit soon enough. I start pulling wires off of my body.

"Let's try to stop the deaths of all of those people... but... how?"

I stop pulling off wires and look to Peter, my eyes questioning.

"I don't know where it happens, or when... or who... or anything."

I look down at the hospital gown.

"I will need some other clothing.

[Gheran]

"Thank you for the offer, but I am not interested."

I set the book on the floor and walk towards the door he came in from. I open it for him.

"Now if you will excuse me, I have children to tend to."

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter nods, looking away. If he had normal blood he would be blushing. "There are spare cloths in the next room with the medical supplies. I'll just pack supplies while you change in the other room."

He stands up and grabs a pair of supply packs off the shelf and starts loading them with goods and equipment. "I'll pack food and water. Once you change we can figure out where to go next."

[RT]

"Well take my card, man. The government could give you money for these projects of yours. Think of the children. Got to go, but think it over." I hand him my card and head back out to the street. Yeah, I know it will be hard to build support. Red Infinity is not a know peace making body, but you got to keep trying.

[Kyle]

Kyle had long snice left Genki and his friends and want off traveling. He stops at a open door with a young boy standing beside him and looks in to see a man. "Ah hey. I heard this was some shelter or what?

[RT]

As I leave the orphanage I see another man. He has a cross with him. Strange thing to see these days. You should put that away. The religious are persecuted, though we make some exceptions. Those who join certain ministries at Red Infinity are granted amnesty of religious crimes.

[Chastity]

I look down and realize that the hospital gown is a little too revealing. I feel bad about showing Peter too much of myself, but am glad that he was decent enough to turn around. I gather up the clothing, after pulling the IV out of my arm, and head into the small hospital bathroom. The clothes are a little loose, but fit well enough. It is a plain pair of slacks and a loose fitting shirt. I fold the hospital gown and set it on the bed.

"I'm ready."

Peter is busy throwing things into a bag. I walk up to him and place my hand on his arm.
"Thank you, Peter. Thank you for everything. I know it was you whose voice I heard while I was still asleep... you helped to bring me back."

I squeeze his arm and then, hesitating, lean in and lightly kiss his cheek while he is still bent over the bag. I blush, and feel stupid for doing what I just did, and turn from him, walking over to the window to hide my embarrassment.

"Whenever you're ready..."

[Kyle]

"Why don't you leave me alone. You don't see what path I walk and nor I see yours, so we shall and shouldn't talk. But, may you go with the protaction and love of almighty god."

[RT]

"There is one religion and that is the religion of love and kindness. As long as you have faith in those, it really doesn't matter what you believe...politcally or religiously. So yeah, we all want the same thing, man." I leave the priest and enter a teleportation booth. I don't know where I am going next, but there are people out there to join this cause. I know it.

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter doesn't react until Chastity turns around, then his mouth twitches into a smile for a moment before he shakes his head slightly and restores his more neutral expression.

Swinging both bags over his shoulder he steps up besides Chastity. "We're ready to go. I have supplies for a long time, and we can use the car in the lower lab so they won't know what vehicale to look for."

He pauses of a moment then adds, "And I changed all the ammuntion in my weapons. It's all nonlethal now."

[Alkonost]

"red infinity maybe your enemy, but they are not mine". i sigh and continual working. "that is why i am not part of any group, though i help out, it is best we dont choose sides...". i glance at her. "thought it seems your heart made you choose one". i tunr back to the animal i was cleaning. "... i rather stay on everyones good side.... but as i said, this cant be let go of..., so if you think that we should just tell the ministry, then so be it, but that wont stop me from doing my own things agianst the anarchists....".

((lol... kyle, thats a real good thing to say to a ugy who just warned you not to be religious))

[Zack]

i whistle as i walk down the street, tossing up a small gem with a stone cross embedding into it. i catch it each time, knowing that even if it dropped i it wouldnt shatter. i glance around and put it into my pocket. .... i tell ya... this is boring, toivo could have atleast gave me a mission of some sorts.... i sigh and continual walking
