I walk down the streets of Helinski, my hand resting upon my katana.
"Where's a rebel when you need one?" I mutter to myself.

"I appreciate your concern Set, but I am used to working a lot. The stress is getting to me though. But at least I have you and Doreamon around to relieve some of that." I look at Set who is wet from being outdoors. "I could dry those clothes for you so I don't get a water stain on my white carpeting."

I feel very awkward and don't quite know what to say. I try to fill the silence. Of course, in my drunken state, I was bound to say something completely stupid, even worse than my cigar comment... and so I did.
"So... That's a pretty nice thingy you've got there... I mean... I always thought it would be kind of cool to have one... you know... for... well, you know what they're for... I mean... yeah, well... So, I haven't had much experience, but... I mean, that's pretty big, right?... I mean... compared to... oh, you probably don't ... I mean, I am not saying you compare ... I was just... um... uh... ahem..."
I am a complete moron. I feel like slapping the heel of my palm to my forehead.
"... nice night, huh?"

"Why certainly, thank you Violet."
I stand up, and walk to my closet, I grab my favorite dark red robe, and change into it in the bathroom. I walk back into the living room with my clothes neatly folded.

I giggle, trying my hardest to stifle it.
"Ahh yes, a nice night indeed... Nights usually are nice, but twice as nice when you have someone nice around!"
I feel like Doctor Seuss.
"So I uh... Yes, I... you're nice, and... I'm sure um... That if you were a guy, you'd have a nice thingy too!"
I slap my forehead.

"Oh it is nothing, I simply like to keep my home neat." I take his clothes and put them in the washing machine, which is located in a side room at the end of the hall. As I fill the load with detergent, I continue to talk to Set. "I will show you the settings so next time, I don't have to do this. I am not a domestic woman." I show Set the different wash settings. "I prefer Eco Wash since it saves water." I continue to show him the dryer settings but my thought wanders. "That is a nice plush robe and he has muscular legs, somewhat like a soccer player. I always wanted to date a soccer player for that reason..." I say aloud, then catch myself. "Oh nevermind what I just said."

"Aww... you're just saying that.
Actually, I bet I would have a great thingy if I was a guy. Too bad all I have is this lousy girl thingy. I mean, come on... which would you rather have? A thingy? or a girl thingy? You can do stuff with a thingy. I guess I have never outwardly been a big fan of them... but inwardly, I think they're pretty cool."
I lean against the wall and think of what life would be like if I had a thingy. I bet I'd get more girls.
"Uh... Can I have a cigarette? Just put it on my tab."

Somewhat nervously I walk up to Bassarov. Now that I am exiled I feel bad about lying to him, but it is in the past and there is nothing that I can do about it. I say "Bassarov... I am with you, I mean I am joining your rebellion. I now truly have nothing else..."

"I can't say that I am unhappy to hear that. The movement needs more fighters like you. And we get along well enough. Who knows, in time we could be friends." Bassarov winks at her and pats her on the back. He of course wants her to feel wanted in the group.

I am taken a little aback by Violet's statement, but try to run with it.
"You must have had a long day..."
I have no idea how to follow up this sentence...
".....I'm sure a woman of your stature would have no problem getting... soccer players..."
I feel as though I am growing attached to this woman, and I'm now unsure how to respond to this unintentional flattery.

"I... I'm glad..." I begin to tear up again, something which is becoming a distrubingly common occurance. "The truth is I lied to you earlier... I was sent here by Kolov... to spy on you... I refused, and I am now exiled, forever. If any FRA member sees me they are under orders to kill me! I... I'm sorry." For the first time in my life I start to cry.

I pull out my pack of cigarettes, there are only two left.
"Here, it's on your tab."
I take the last one and light it up.
"I wish I could switch between the two, since well, you know, it's' a totally different experience giving than it is receiving..."
I wonder how the hell we ever came upon this topic...
"So how about we head back... somewhere... for the rest of the evening?"

With the events of today new orders go out to all active FRA members: The assassin called "Zero" is to be killed, on sight, for the crime of high treason.

I sit up on the washing machine and smile. I can read his thoughts, though it is best not to abuse such powers.
"It is harder than you think. Many men are intimidated by me."

"Maybe we should take a walk, it looks as though you need some fresh air." The other rebels look at Zero in confusion, but Bassarov tries to make it seem like it is not big deal.
