Moments of Suspension

[Ashen]

((Ashen's actual apartment is Beijing's library, he is currently in Bassarov's apartment. So, you just blew up Bassarov's place... unless you flew to Beijing and blew up the library there. This post is in case you blew up Bassarov's place.))
Ashen was still wallowing whn he heard something outside. He went ot see what was happening, and to his horror, Id was just about to destroy the building.
"Man, this not my day."
The blasts hit and Ashen decides that he wouldn't survive that kind of power barage. So, he transmits himself to the library at Beijing and exhales.
"I'm to young for this."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Don't speak Russian any more? What is this? Have you forgotten our past? You are becoming much too American or European. Look, you even dyed your hair. It was so much nicer when it was black." Bassarov says to Karina, holding a strand of her hair.

[Fei Fong Wong]

((Whichever, it doesn't matter. This is Id we're talking about. He's not picky.))

Id continues flinging energy around the city, his eyes blazing and maniacal laughter on his lips.

[Calithin]

((forgive my absense, I'm a little flaky this month.))

* I put up an energy shield quickly, but still get hit. I run at him, putting the shield down for a second and turing my sword around using the handle to hit him in the stomch. I jump back wards away from him, and throw huge flames at him, before putting the shield back up.*

"Eh, your aim could use some work, but hey, you can't all be as perfect as me. Right?"

[Karina Bassarov]

Karina slaps Valodya's hand from her hair and scowls at him.

~In case you forgot, I am trying to stay out of Red Infinity's sights for a while. And I spent a lot of time in Spain. You try remembering Russian and speaking Spanish. And...~

Karina takes a puff from her cigar and blows the smoke away from Valodya.

~I needed a change. I can always wash the dye out. Do you have an extra room here? I really dont want to go back to the base. Too many people there.~

Though she is highly pissed off at him for leaving her, she does need a place to crash.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Yes, you can stay here, but I have a rule against smoking."
He folds his arms, there isn't a lot of space, but he can make some room for her.

[Karina Bassarov]

~Yes, Valie, I know.~

She puts the cigar out in the palm of her hand and lifts her bag on to her shoulder and sits down on the couch.((Considering if I am inside, that is ;D))

~Thank you, dearest brother to my heart. Though our ages and evil Russian spirits are oh so close together, I feel closer to you.~

She says this is a slightly sarcastic way but then, she means it too.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Hmm.." Bassarov sighs to himself.
"So then, how is life? Anything new?" He takes a seat across from her.

[Steve Fox]

Steve takes a turn, his shoes sliding on the smooth stone cement floor. He's been in these halls for ten minutes now! There must be some way out. Windows on his right show the arena area and the riot taking place there in. Flashes of red move through the crowd, the government guards restoring "order" with practiced speed and efficence.

He didn't have much longer til they can after him. "Bugger this for a lark," Steve says aloud to himself, taking another turn into another identical hallway, "I really should have through this out better..."

[Ashen]

((I'll just assume it was Helsinki then))

Ashen decides that he must get to Makwa and save her from who knows what. Lin-Sat was a sadist, and from what he had seen so far of this Johnathan guy, he really needed to get her out. He walked down the halls and stopped. He didn't know where or which cell she had been taken to! He decided on the only person he knew could help, Lady freaking Violet. He made his way to her apartment and knocked on the door.
"Ummm... I need to speak with the Lady. It kinda urgent, so if I could speak with her now, it would really help."

[Lady Violet]

I go to my home for a short lunch break and see that Ashen is at my door.
"Hello, come inside, I am normally in my office at this time, so you are lucky that I stopped back home."
I smile kindly and let him inside.
It feels as though I have not been home in ages.

[Ashen]

Ashen doesn't trust anyone in Red Infinity and this womens feigned friendliness wasn't fooling anyone.
"Thank you, no. I want to know where their keeping that Meka girl, or whatever her name is. I'd like to ask her about her Gear, it might be similar to Fei's and I'd like to know as much as I can."
She doesn't know anything about him and Makwa, and that needs to stay that way. No one knows about his decition to leave, so he must play off of their trust to get what he wants.

[Karina Bassarov]

I sigh, lay back and relax.
~No... the movement in Peru has fallen. Spain holds strong, though. I think I will start another movement in St. Petersburg with Winter.~
I focus on Valodya.
~And you? Any new love or lovers?~

[Lady Violet]

"Xia wu hao, Ashen." I greet him in Chinese as I let him into my kitchen.

"Makwa, yes, she is a member of the Green Party, the rebel environmentalist party. I am afraid I do not know where she is, since Lin-Sat was the one who dealt with that situation. If you wish to learn more about her gear and political involvements, I am not opposed to it, but you will have to go to Lin-Sat."

I go to my refridgerator and make myself a salad.

"Would you care for some tea? I am afraid it is beyond my power to offer you any other help in this matter. It is out of my hands."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"It seems you have been busy, and no, I don't care to talk about my love life. It is just a little messy at the moment." Bassarov replies to his sister.

"What about yours?"
