The Chalice or the Blade

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea looked at him as she left her shirt the was it was.
"Well...Yes but I didn't want you to run off afterwards. I would like to spend more time with you."
She smiled as she felt a piece of hair fall in her face. "But we can go to the base. I do have mural to finish. I think I'm gonna do one in the library too but I have to finish the one in the lobby first."
Linnea sighed her smile gone as she looked at the floor. "And my back is hurting. Maybe I won't finish it today."

[Toivo Koivisto]

"So it is finally over."

I pick up the smoldering black egg.

"We will have to hold on to this now. This time, she will not come back."

I look at the widespread destruction.

I can't believe after all this time...it is over

[John]

i grown and laugh afterwards after seeing the streak of blood form on genovia. ... if this is the best red infinity has to offer, then i feel sorry for them. . i land and turn around, slashing at her again. i let go of the whips and they meld back into the ground as they touch it, i lunge at genovia and slash at her with my claws, making another streak of blood form on her, straining her fur. ....pathetic... i dont see how your worthless race survived this long.....

[Garret thingysure]

"Sure doll, I won't leave you."

Man, maybe I just seem like the kind of guy who isn't very loyal.

We walk back to the base and I sit in the lobby.

"I will just watch you paint for a while."

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea looks at Garret as he sat down in the lobby. "Well I'll be back. I'm gonna go put my painting overalls on. They are much more comfortable."
She walked down the hall, and changed clothes as she pulled her hair back up and came out with her paint brushes.
Pulling the plastic back across the floor, Linnea opened the paint again as she started mixing paint and working on the mural again, painting Garret in the front.

[Larva]

Larva ignores Riku-sama for the most part. He is a pest, but he is also a man that Larva must serve, so he will not speak against him. He keeps writing until he hears the question about the mask. He looks at him then the mask lands on the table. He will see just exactly how long he could go without the mask. It had been millenia since the last time he'd tried it, so this would be interesting. He kept writing, his power stirring as if just poked in the face when only asleep for an hour. It groggily got up, had some coffee, and then read the paper. Larva smiled to himself at the comparisen and kept writing, the pencil's scratches are loud in the silence. He looks back to Ikue-chan's room. Hopfully this idiot wouldn't ruin his test by invading his mind. He was still so very unlike his former self, all because of tha foolish angel. He beared his teeth at the thought of it, that arongant laugh was still circling through his memory. He looked at his mask and the pencil stopped. He reached out his hand and felt the gem in the forehead of the mask. Well, he wouldn't be gloting anymore, not now. He felt the minute cracks that split the gem, only little ones, but the gem wasn't that big anyway. He smiled again, this time more d'evilish and malevolent. His face returned to its normal stony calm and the pencil resumed movement. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, sighing. It had been about 10 minutes so far, and nothing even remotly moved power wise.

[Surma]

One time, Surma found secret cave. In the cave he found an old man and he recieved a powerful weapon from him called the Javelin wand. It didn't stop there. He found himself in an unknown dimension. Surma still remembered how the dimension looked like.

It was full of extremly powerful monsters. Before Surma had to fight them, but soon they became friends with him and Surma became friends with them. Surma had to survive in the dimension. He couldn't get out. He found a temple and he entered it. There Surma saw an old man just like the one who gave him the javelin wand. He said he was Surma's ancestor. Surma was given great power and enternal knowledge. Surma still remembered everything clearly.

[Garret thingysure]

"Ah, that's really cool."

I look at the door and see there is a sign up sheet for the community classes.

"I could teach...voice lessons and...photography!"

I sign up on the sheet,

[Benjamin Solaris]

Ben began to follow John's lead but not being as forward, because he was weaker.
Drawing his gun he began to shot at them, not many of his shots hitting because of the distance and them moving.
"Kaze what are you doing?" Ben yelled as he saw her slink away.

[Thomas Anderson]

"I was refuring to the parasites they stuck inside us actually."

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea didn't hear Garret say anything as she was so absorbed in her work, she didn't even hear him as he got up and walked across the lobby.
Painting she started to sweat as the temperture grew and accidently got paint on her face as she wiped her forehead with the back of her head.

[Kazenara Miyajima]

Kaze turned to look at Ben.
"I can't fight like you guys. I'm not strong enough. Look at me...and I'm not nearly as good."

[Brady]

I spring awake.

Huh? Who was that? Oh well.

I plop my head down on the pillow again and fall asleep.

[Will]

Of course. Say none of the others are ever around really...lemme ask you. Do you ever sleep? And how do you keep your thoughts from driving you crazy. For some reason i never sleep and my mind feels like the ticker at the bottom of the stockmarket screen.

WIll felt stupid cuz he thought that Tom meant that. But he had hoped for something else in common. He wanted a comrade who was like him. He was always the only one.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov sees Lysander and Anna teleport back to his apartment.
"Oh hey, I was heading back to the base. Catch you two later, and...behave!"

Behave? He honestly could care less what Lysander is up to, as long as he is safe from harm and thinking clearly.

He heads out the door and goes to the rebel base. He sees Linnea and Garet in the lobby, and takes a seat by Garret as he watches Linnea paint.

"I like the mural, Linnea."
