A Misery to Thrive On

[Brady]

Sure. I like helping out.

I walk downstairs and to the outside, but sadly, Red Infinity took back their bulldozer.

Now what?

[Aung San Suu Kyi]

After a few days of recovering my strength at the Ministry of Health, I travel to the International HQ in Beijing. I feel so strange, and my loyalty to Red Infinity feels so artificial, so I must find answers.
I wait outside Lady Violet's door until she returns.
I want to know why I am alive and to what end they intend to use me.

[Usha]

"Remember how Bassarov used to teach community classes at the rebel base! Maybe we should start up a day care center!!"

[Brady]

Sounds fun!

I spin then do the moonwalk.

But where are we going to find kids?

[Usha]

"Lets make some posters and put them around town. Parents will see them and know to drop off their kids at the base while they work!!"

I cross the street to a shop and buy some paper and markers.

"Okay lets get to work!!"

[Brady]

Ok!

I grab a blue marker and I draw a really nice smiley face. Then I write:


( Smiley Face )

U and B's Daycare!

Are your kids demented or angry?
Do they fuss and fight over food?
If so! Call 123-3123, extension 412.
After you've scheduled, drop them off at
room 412!

I draw 20 of these.

Done!

[Usha]

"Great job Brady, and that was a really nice smiley face you drew. So now we have to put them up around town."

I grab a stack, and give the other half to Brady.
I have some tape in my pocket, so I start taping them to posts and shop windows.

[Swan of Tounela]

In my swan form, I fly over to where Gregory and Lotus are fighting. I perch on a light pole, and watch the fight bellow me. For now, i will not participate. I just watch waiting to see how I can be a help.

[Brady]

I have a stapler in my pocket, so I staple the fliers on posts and shop windows. For special advertising, I also stapled one to a dog.

Run along Dee-O-Gee.

[Dinari Dollar]

I drive Paris to the shopping mall and hand her my credit card.

"Here sugar, buy whatever you want."

I then give Richie a message on his wrist comm. "Hey Richie, abort the mission, it was a bad idea."

[Roane]

Roane jumps up and goes to Groves side. She smiles weakly as she sees him struggle. How he must feel....She hopes it will not deter him any.

Here lean on me baby. I will be your crutch until you feel better. But even though you feel better i don't think you are in any condition to try and help in the fight against Louhi. Sure you can do things but it takes too much out of you. Please...we must be careful now.

She didn't want it to seem that she was pestering him or that she didn't believe in him still. It was just that her worry out weighed anything else at the moment.

[Usha]

Suddenly some animal rights people appear from nowhere. They walk up to Brady.

"Did you stapple that sign to that there dog? That is cruelty to animals and we are going to give you a fine." one of them says.

He hands Brady a notice that says he owes $100.

[Simona Weil]

I forgot to tell the anarchists what I was doing so I send Wyrm and Email.

Sorry that I left like that. Go ahead with Zinn's plan, but I might not be the best person to help with that. Instead I am working with Rodthingy to get Irvine back to the movement.
This blood speakers cult seems dangerous and as though they duped our friend.
I will get back to you soon,
Simona

[Brady]

I take the fine, then look down at it. I look up again and they're gone.

Huh... $100, that's not too much.

I open my wallet.

Ahh! I only have $99.99, and I left my debit and credit cards at home. Wait... now that I'm thinking about money... I did inherit some. I should buy a car!

I walk over to Usha.

Shouldn't we ask Bass if we can open a daycare?

[Usha]

"I think he would be glad that we took innitiative. Other rebels don't do a lot. But yeah! Let's go buy a car!!"

I jump up and down, I have never driven a car before!
