God and the State

[Antero Black]

I like his touch. He is so kind. Always there. Always kind. That is why people like him.

He is all together.

Zinn was acting strange. She told me to...make her feel. So we hugged, and she kissed me. I didn't mind it, but felt bad, and we stopped.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov sits down and is upset that Anutsaka is going though the effort of trying to heal him. He says nothing. Perhaps Anutsaka will find some magical cure and he won't have to worry anymore

[Sasha Kropotkin]

I am taken aback by this. I turn my head away and start to speak again.

"Zinn..? That seems a little out of character for her..."

I look back up.

"Well... You're a stronger man than I, Antero!" I say, attempting to lighten the situation, but feel as though I've just made things worse. d**nit, I always do that...

"Ahh, nevermind that, I'm sorry... Are you both okay?"

[Zinn]

Zinn checks her e-mails. She reads the one from Basarov, and responds.

---------------------------------------------
Dear Bassarov,

I'd be happy to teach classes. I don't want them to be mandatory though. I think it would be contrary to the spirit of anarchism.

Sincerely,
Zinn
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Zinn sits staring into space. She feels stupid. She doesn't love Antero. She just wanted someone to pretend to love. It was pathetic. She wanted him to hurt her, because she deserves it. She was trying to manipulate him into taking advantage of her, which meant she was trying to take advantage of him. She felt sick with herself that she could even consider that sort of manipulation. She had treated Antero like a common sleeper.

She wasn't sure she'd be able to face him again.

[Antero Black]

I look at him hatefully

"You wouldn't have stopped? I didn't want to. I don't know why I did. If it ever happens again I won't. Why did you say that? You are supposed to be the nice and good one. I don't understand. I knew you liked Zinn, d**n it. Well I would blow her and all of you up before I let you touch her."

[TheWyrm]

I hear a commotion, and what sounded like rustling clothing. Dear god I hope it's not what I think it is... By the time I go examine it, I hear two seperate doors close, one in Sasha's room, and the other on Zinn's. I knock on Zinn's door.

"Hey Zinn! You mind if I come in? You wanna see some new stuff I added to our site?!"

[Sasha Kropotkin]

I smile at Antero's possessiveness.

"I was kidding my love, please, you're far too volatile, even for an anarchist."

I wrap my arms around him unexpectedly, and almost involuntarily. My body was pushing me forward, and my good judgement was pushing me away. When he gets like this, I just want to hold him until he settles down.

[Antero Black]

I squirm and grind my teeth in anger. I try to push myself away from him. Him that horrible Zinn loving goody goody.

In frustration I bite his arm.

Finally you give me some attention. Are you just trying to keep me from Zinn, that's your plan. You're more twisted than I am

[Hatake Kakashi]

As Wyrm comes out, Kakashi goes in, entering the man's room as he opens the door to make his way towards Zinn's room.

The shinobi moves swiftly and with purpose, laying down carefully set traps and tricks. The Wyrm would not be allowed to survive to see another day.

Out of interest, Kakashi glances at his computer. Tilting his head, he reaches out and taps a key to bring the screen off of stand-by.

[Sasha Kropotkin]

I wince at him biting me, and try my hardest not to sound as though I am talking to a child in the next sentence.

"Antero... I give you more credit than to believe that the only thing you want from me is attention. If you really do believe in free love, then you wouldn't want to possess her, and would have faith that I would not wish the same thing."

My tone changes to a more serious one.

"Please don't look at me like that."

[Zinn]

Zinn opens the door. Her eyes are a little red from crying.

"Hi Wyrm. Sure, come on in."

[Antero Black]

I frown and decide not to talk about this

Show me your wings again. I like your wings. I wish I had wings so I could fly to the sun and burn myself.

[TheWyrm]

I come in and see that Zinn is distressed.

"Hey, is everything alright..? Oh! I think I know what will cheer you up!"

I sit next to her and open up my laptop that I always bring with me that has all of my essential files on, and the only piece of technology that I have been touching or putting anything on ever since Zwei attacked me. Boy I'm glad I don't use my desktop in my room very much anymore.

"This is the new anarchist's webpage. I finally got all of the banned literature you mentioned up here. I hadn't read any of Orwell before, I couldn't stop reading 1984, and I'm half way through animal farm now. And it's all here, and there's nothing Red Infinity can do about it!"

I clear my throat.

"Hopefully..."

[Ichiro Sazuki]

Ichiro smiles as he walks back to the base. He can already hear the commotion about the new school. Once he gets back to the rebel base he looks around for a shower that might be open to anyone, but no luck.

Wow...I really need to build one of my own...

Ichiro steps out and walks to the Bambarakanda Ella. (A waterfall in Sri Lanka...I'm not really sure where the base is, but whatever...) He finds no one is around.

Most people are have probably gone to do work, and thats why there is no one collecting water here.

Ichiro removes his clothes and jumps in. True this was very weird and caveman-like for Ichiro, but it would do until Ichiro could get a room of his own. He started to swim around. Not only was it fun, but he was getting cleaner.

[Sasha Kropotkin]

I half smile. It's so hard to take him seriously when he's upset, it's just much too adorable...

"Of course..."

I stand up squarely in front of Antero, and spread my wings. They're about 1.5 times longer than my arms when outstretched.

"Stand up. I've been meaning to do this for awhile."

He stands. I wrap my arms around him, and my wings immediately behind my arms, forming a cocoon around us.
