The Secret Edge of Nearness

["Zero" Americanski]

"I know these rooms are surprisingly large... I used to live in a room that was barely 50 square feet." I say. "It is nice having my own kitchen... Even though I'm a horrible cook."

[Damascus]

Damascus sighs. He had got on to her good side, but that wasn't good enough. If he couldn't make her laugh, then he had failed and he didn't even deserve to be here. He gets up and goes to the cobboard for some coffee. He takes the bag, grabs so beans, and eats those.
"I just don't get it..."
He sighs again and sits in a chair, lost in a gray mesh of feelings. He liked Violet, but she didn't laugh at or even with him, so he didn't know how she felt to him. She had called him adorable. So, she thought he was like a little kid then? A little brother, maybe? He was so confused his head was going to explode. He needed to talk to someone and Set was a hard guy to be funny with. Maybe the maid... Ikue was it? Maybe she would laugh for him.

[Winter]

-"S.. Samuel, what do you mean?"-
Why did he stop?
Did he not love her?
Wait, maybe he was right... i was confused now.

Louunotar-

"Yes ma'am. I was in england, i wanted to take some schooling. Sorry for being gone. I'll go see him right away." Louunotar says, and starts walking to the Rebel Base.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"That's right Thomas, you can stay here as long as you like. I think it is safer for rebels to stay here than on their own since Red Infinity is less likely to attack a group of rebels."
Bassarov hands him his room key.
"Otherwise, the rebel movement is not very active at the moment...since Louhi was attacking the United States and we we forced to fight some dragons. We are all recovering from that."

[Lawrence]

After Lawrence took a shower, he placed on new clothes and his leather jacket. Lawrence thought about what happened earlier. the nuclear bomb, the talk with some stranger about his involvement with nuclear programs, having to meet a general named Kolve, disloyalty, arrest, it all happend so fast. Lawrence decided to pay a visit to Lawrence. As soon as he reached Violet's office, he knocked the door.

[Lady Violet]

After Lounatar leaves for her mission, I sense that Lawrence is at my door.

"You may come in Lawrence. Did you find out who stole those non fissile materials from Red Infinity?"

I am in a good mood, and though Lawrence is sometimes short with his superiors, he is generally a hard worker.

"Right. Both Valodya and myself live on the base. I for one doubt I'll ever move, I simply don't need more than what I have." I say with mock happiness, in truth I am suddenly nervous about what Bassarov just said... I turn to him and say quietly "Actually more of us in one place makes us even more vulnerable... I know for a fact that Tepes wants both of us dead, so in fact it is only the generousity of Lin-Sat that is keeping us safe..."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"I always felt there was safety in numbers, since it is less likely that a single operative with come here and attack, considering they would have to deal with at least a dozen rebels, but you are right"
Bassarov considers the situation.
"The rebel base of operation has been utterly destroyed at least a half a dozen times in the last year, so I do not want you to get a false sense of security Thomas."

[Mel]

Lounnotar walks to the Rebel Base and to Bassarov's door. She knocks. "Hello? I'm looking for Samuel, do you know where he is?" I call through the door.

[CheapParadox]

After Bassarov left with Thomas, who I should visit later, I hear a knock on his door

Bassarov is not here right now, he is at the base

I wonder who the woman is and what she wants

["Zero" Americanski]

"I'm not worried about single operatives.... I'm worried about nuclear weapons. The odds are slim, but there is always a chance. Sorry to be such a pessimist." I throw my cigarette away and restrain myself from lighting another. "Anyways I like it here, much better than where I was. It's comfortable and you can do what you please."

[Thomas]

Thomas taked the room key and he looke up at Bassarov.

"Ok i wont....u dont think that it would get destroyed again...would you?"

Thomas looks at bassarov then at zero."They are nice people..."Thomas thought and he turned around and walked towards the bed.

[Mel]

"I'll head to the Base then." Lounnotar says and walks into the lobby. (i think) She sees Bassarov and walks up to him. "Hello sir, I am looking for Samuel."

[Samuel]

I'm sorry... His eyes begin to water a little and he wordlessly gets up from the tub and dries off. Walking into the bedroom, he puts on his pants. Then he puts his shirt on and buttons up his other shirt. Grabbing his shades from the night table, he opens the door and walks out, tears sliding softly down his face. Winter... please forgive me...

["Zero" Americanski]

"I hope you can sleep after that coffee, I do make it pretty strong." I say. I can feel how fatigued he is and that he is at the verge of collapse because of it.
