Battles Which Could Not Be Won

[Asher]

She swallows.

"You will be appalled and then hate me...but here goes."

She climbs down the stairs and sees a few of her regulars down in the dungeon.

she smirks as she can't control herself. She begins to skip.

"Hello my lovelies....i have brought you a friend of mine. No No No...don't get up on his account. we are just here so he can see what a monster am. How cruel and evil i can be. Does anyone wish to volunteer for a special session today?...no one?...ok well i shall leave you all to your own private hells then."

She turns back to him...a glint in her eye. She looks at him knowing what would come next. Even though she is smirking tears fall...something inside of her was sad.

[Dinari Dollar]

I roll out of my huge bed with gold bed posts and pull off my blanket made of specially bred Liger skin.

"YAAWWWWWWn!"

I walk out to the living room area and feed my exotic fish.

"I wonder where Richie is?"

[Sasha Kropotkin]

After a long day at the shop, I decide to head home. I bring a few of my favorite assault rifles home with me in a backpack to clean.

I enter the apartment, and toss my bag on my bed. Everyone's talking about Antero...

"So, he robbed a bank..? Wonderful."

[Nigel Eckhart]

Nigel stood up with her last words. His heart was also in a flutter, quickened but the surge of emotion he could feel from her.

"You're eyes are not decieved. An Incubus would only desire your pleasure, but for me..."

Nigel embraced her in another hug.

"...I desire your being. You mere prensence brings such warmth to my heart that it can light a 1000 torches..."

Nigel whispers to her.
"Are you saying that you are 'hungry' again?"

Nigel loosens the embrace as they look to eacother , holding hands.

"Come, my Queen. Let us retire for this evening and start a journey for a new life, for both our own and the kingdoms' as well..."

[Grove]

Grove turns away embarrased, and realizes that he hasnt ordered yet.

"Oh, sorry. Could you fetch me some mineral water?"

The waiter jots some stuff down and dashes off, taking another persons order.
Grove turns back to Roane and clears his throat.

"Anyway. What were we saying? Ah yes. Of course I will stay with you. I would want to stay with you as long as phisically, as well as spiritually possible."

[Jon Talbain]

Jon looks around, his face remaining blank. He would never say it aloud, but this is making his beast writh within his heart. The primal thing within him is elited with this living hell. But Jon will not let that show, nor will he show his disgust.

Asher was created to do this, her own beast trained for years to not only let her, but to make her wish to do such. And then Jon had a thought. He thought that it was humans who had done so, who had made Asher and made her do this. Normal people, like the ones Jon wished to be like.

He looks at Asher, seeing the tears in her eyes. "It's different, isn't it?" He askes, looking at her, "Something isn't the same. You beast is not so sure of itself. And the pain on the inside," he placing a finger on his chest, over his heart, "Does not feel so good as the pain outside does it? I don't hate you Asher, no matter what you do."

Even if he does hate her... he is unsure how much longer he can stay here. His beast is sturing, and his own mind is weakened by the pain around him. A bad combination. "This is what you wanted to show me then? You wanted me to see what you do."

[TheWyrm]

I shake her hand.

"Thank you, Zinn. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to be called such, I think it's a cool alias!"

I straighten my glasses.

"Have you seen our website?"

[Simona Weil]

"I need a tylenol." I go to the cubbard and get a tylenol for my headache. This day is turning out rotten. But at least our newest member is sensible, unlike some of the others.

[Lady Violet]

"I do have my priorities straight, Master Rogue, so please, leave me be."
I glare at the old man. How I detest him.

I turn to face Doreamon.
"You were spotted with the rebels. I need an explaination for your actions...."

I pat Hikari on the head.
"I am almost done with work Hikari, then we can go home."

[Erin Valotovna]

Man I'm glad I'm not human, because if I was my legs would be soooo stiff by now! I think as I disembark the last of 30 hours of flight all over the world. I am finally in Beijing and can start my mission. Confidently I walk into the REd Infinity headquarters and, five minutes and one map-stop later, walk into the office of Lady Violet Zedung. I am carrying my employment information under my arm, and hold it out to the woman as I say "Hi, I'm Erin Valotovna. I was sent here by the Ministry of Personell to see you."

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

I lift my head wearily, and see that Bassarov has awakened.

"Ahhh hell... Hello..."

I rub my tired eyes, they slowly come into focus.

"Awww, Vossya, I missed you..."

I wrap my arms around him, and kiss his cheek.

"I hope they didn't torture you too bad... Are you alright?"

[Lady Violet]

I see that another has entered my office. I shake her hand. "Very well Miss Valatovna, pleased to meet you. You must be our new intern at the International HQ. It is a pleasure to finally meet you. You service record for Red Infinity was remarkable."

[Asher]

((Gotta have a early night tonight but i will be able to be online most of tomorrow night guarenteed...so i shall see you all later...Night Jon...Sweet dreams...sorry i can't stay... ))

All she could do at first was nod. The conflicting emotions moving inside of her. but then she found her voice again.

"At sirst i wanted to play with you like i do Ahriman. I wanted to have you. But now i want what you had...and not what i am trying to give you. I want a chance to have friends and love. I am so lonely. And as much as i hear them cry out to me it is not the same.

I am not sure of anything except how i feel when near y......." She cuts it off and breathes deeply.

"I am different. I now feel things i wasn't designed for. I feel shame pity fear...love. All of these emotions which i am not familiar with are breaking me down. I only want to have more than what i do. Something other than pain."

She loweres her head.

"I am a monster Jon. I hurt people. I maim people. I torture them into submission and then move on to the next. I blinded a man the other week Jon. I did it as others watched. I lit a cigarette from the red hot cross and blew smoke in his face. I am an evil hideous beast. Although i never have killed what i do is much worse. I wanted you to see because i like you and i wanted you to know...and i can't explain totally why i needed you to see."

She, unable to be there anylonger, pulls him by the hand and takes him back upstairs...back to the black door back to her room. She breaks down and begins to sob falling to her knees as she realises what she was...a government issue monster.

[Erin Valotovna]

"Well, thank you!" I say, blushing slightly. "It will be an honor to serve in the company of others of high caliber...." I pause. "You are aware of my, well, special accomidations?"

[Valodya Bassarov]

"I feel great. I know I must look a little rough, but it is great to be back. I am excited to get the movement back in action...."
Bassarov smiles and hugs his dearest comrade. "I want to meet with Toivo and Simona to see if our groups can collaborate on anything."
