The Red Paradigm

[Kaitalish]

I continue my slashing, drawing on my still-bleeding wound to send several large blood lances at the barrier.

"You are still constrained to that pathetic mortal body. You are weak." I growl.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov was so engrossed in his reading that he really did not pay much attention to anything going on around him.
He overheard Timothy and Rosa talking about him, and he did sense some dark powers from where the anarchsists rooms were located, but he was mostly oblivious to everything else.

"something doesn't feel right around here."

[Kassenia]

After the men came in i decided to walk around the apartment. I do not take being ignored lightly and am a bit furious with Bassarov. I go to the bathroom and wash my face. I look at the reflection and smirk. To think my appearance has such a hold on him. Whether it be love or whatever something about this face has some power over him.

I quickly dry my face and walk on through the apartment looking for a quiet place to wait as i formulate my plan. Who should i take? Helene he would be upset but even he did not love her. His sone or Mischa would be the best bet. I look through out the apartment for Bassarovs lover. Even if i decide not to take him it might be fun to f'uck with his mind a bit before claiming what is rightfully Kaiekas...i mean mine.

"Mischa?...."

[Samuel]

Ignored once again by everyone, Samuel sighs and drops down on a different sofa, lighting up another cigarette. He takes a deep drag from it, and sighs heavily.
"D'amn, didn't even get to ask her out. Bass, your advice sucks. I think that women don't like me all that much."
He drops his head and takes another drag from the fast burning cigarette. Then, he finishs it and lies down, putting on some shades to block out the overhead light and lighting up yet another cigarette.
"Talk quiter. She's sleeping, and I need to get my 15 hours for today. So either leave or be quite. Sorry abou the whole slob thing Bass, but I don't think she likes a smoker."

[Antero Black]

I step near Zinn, confused as hell. Who is that guy and what does he want with Irvine. He is ours and I won't let him take him.

"Aht is oing on, inn?" I ask her, very irritated by all of it.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"These things take time, Sam. And no, you are not so messy, I have seen worse."
Bassarov remains concerned about the energies he is feeling.

[Surma]

Surma turned around looking at Satu. "Yohko, i'd like you to meet Satu. Satu this is Yohko. I'll leave you two to get aquainted." Surma made a calm smile. "I have some buisness to attend to. we'll talk later Satu. I will see you later Yohko." Surma dissapeared from sight.

[Ashen]

Ashen was lying down on the sofa when the odd woman Bassarov was talking to before came in and started looking throughout the apartment for something.
"So... how do you know Bassarov?" He asked as she passed him by, but she seemed to be ignoring all else. Or, it could have been the aura of ignorance that he constantly radiated.

[Oni Momouru kokoro]

he grins slightly again. "not really... i have gained enough strength to break free of this body for good...., but if i stay in it, i'll get stronger". he glances at grahf, "... same.... but oh well..". he looks at the oni as he drops the barrier causing the oni to go forward. "renki-teleportation....". he teleport both kaonashi and irvine out of helsinki to beijin. *let me back in control*. he stands up straight as his image disappears to form oni's once again. "...atleast he listened that time...". i slide to the floor. {what do you mean, i always listen.... i just dont always do what you say}

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

I hear a familiar voice, and look up from my book. I see... Kaieka...

"Ah, so you're not dead."

I look back down to what I was reading, starting to feel uncomfortable even making eye contact with her.

[Talice 'Black Widow']

Talice offers her submissive a seat. Such company was welcome since she had been alone for some time. She had been working on a plan to get LIF when this louhi situation was taken care of.

"Another drow?....a renegade named Drizzt...how nice. Tell me Darith did you miss me my submissive?"

She moves to him and reaches a hand to his face acting as if she were going to stroke it and instead slaps him hard.

"Listen...you do not need to be hanging out with those who are being hunted my submissive. You of all people should know what comes of those types of males...and what comes of those who help them. You think me naive? I know you plot against me. I know you do not have loyalties to me. You used me. As all men of this place do to women. I trusted you and tried to make you mine...but you do not want me. Perhaps you want the renegade instead?"

She acts more hurt than she is and turns from him. She refuses to let him know she is really a bit hurt. If he knew for a moment that he had one shread of power he would use it. She had gotten use to Darith.

[Zinn]

Zinn does her best to move behind some furniture to keep out of the way of the fight. She was still trying to get her breath back.

Why is it that whenever I have a plan going, something terribly violent happens? Zinn thinks, annoyed more than anything else. She hates this showy battle, and she can't believe Irvine sold out his anarchistic beliefs so easily. Zinn stands up from where she was crouched behind the bed, and supports herself on the bedpost to keep from falling over.

"You know Irvine, I thought you have more strength than to sell yourself for a promise of power." Zinn notices that the inside of her mouth is bleeding. She must have accidentally bitten the inside of her cheek when she hit the wall.

"I hope that whatever shred of self respect you have left realizes that you've become a sleeper," Zinn says quietly, but extremely seriously. Her voice trembles slightly, but not out of fear.

"You know, it takes a real man to toss a one hundred and ten pound woman across a room. I hope you feel really proud," there is a strong flavour of sarcasm in her voice now. She knows Irvine will probably hit her again, but she doesn't care. She just wants Irvine, and his master or whatever to get the hell out of the room.

After Oni teleports them away, Zinn turns to the stranger. "And who exactly are you?"

[DarithDvelera]

"I am loyal to you Talice...just...sometimes I dont want to be....yelled at and slapped...that is all....I know that she will hit me again, but this is earth, and here under Red Infinity, genders are equal.

[Grahf]

He turns toward Zinn.

"There's a reason that the innocent often get hurt. We're trying to stop him, but you only make yourself a target with talk like that."

[Kaitalish]

I flick my gaze contemptously around Beijing.

"Teleported us away. Pitiful. Oh well, it serves my purposes."

I look at Irvine.

I may have use of you later. Until then, I shall leave you to contemplate your newfound alliegances.

I open a gate and am gone to my lair.
