Our Woe and Our Prize

[Soren]

Soren listens and follows her instructions. He runs his hand up her leg, slowly and nervously. He pulls her skirt back a little. His stomach feels jittery, but he ignores it by kissing her again. He runs his hand up her slender thigh and slips his fingers beneith her panties.
His own breathing becomes more inense as he kisses her ear and rubs his face against her's.

[Sophia]

The world starts to disappear, and the ambience of the trolley rolling on the tracks, makes it easier to lose myself. I let out an involuntary whimper as his finger slips inside of me.
This power is intoxicating.
I slide my hand down under his pantline, and begin stroking him underneath his boxers. My other hand undoes his pants so I can get a better grip.

My breathing is still heavy, my body convulsing even moreso than before.
How loud am I? Can the driver hear us?

[Soren]

Soren no longer feels as nervous. He is compelled now my hormones rather than by fear. His hands explore places he has never touched before. It feels wet and warm. And when he slides his fingers inside of her it feels snug but soft. He kisses her more passionately as his fingers delve deeper.
Suddently the trolley comes to a stop.

"Oh this is our stop. Wanna go back to the anarchist house and see my collection of model trolleys? I keep them real neat on my shelf. You would be impressed."

He sticks his hands in his pockets and waits for her to leave the trolley with him.

[Sophia]

I whimper as his hand probes inside of me, and as the trolley slowly comes to a halt, I begin to phase back into reality. I shudder as his fingers slip out.

I stand up, and push my skirt back down. I follow him out of the door.

"I would love to, Soren."

I smile, and follow him to our house.

[Soren]

Sophia and Soren go back to the anarchist house and he takes her to his room. The whole day feels like a magical circus and he is the main event.

"Right, so I have 23 trolleys right now. I just put one together last night. This one here is my favorite."

He pulls a black one of the shelf.

"I like it since it is black. Most of the trolleys are red or green. I like the black trolley, it seems dangerous. I think my dream is to ride in a black trolley."

He puts the black trolley back onto the shelf carefully.

"You know, I have a fear of letting people touch me like that. But it wasn't so bad. I didn't think I could do it."

He sits down on his bed.

"I even sleep in my clothes. You see my uncle, like my father, was a pastor. I used to sleep over at his house a lot as a kid."

He looks at the clock and turns back to Sophia.

"Its getting late so good night. Thanks for riding the trolley with me...and stuff."


Soren gets into bed fully clothed and pulls two thick blankets over him.

"Turn out the light when you go."

[Sophia]

He truly is the cutest thing ever...

"Maybe someday we'll catch a black trolley."
I smile. I take back that Antero comparison.
"I'm glad that you didn't mind. What we did on the trolley."
I kiss him on the forehead.

"Goodnight, kiddo."

I turn out the light as I leave.

[Thomas]

Thomas yawns and opens his eyes.He feels like hes been in that cell for ages now.He is wondering how much time he would heve to spend in here.He also wondered when a torturer will come...That othere one promised that she would...He turned his head and looked at Tina.He was worried about her.She hadnt woke up or talked to him the whole tine that he was put back in the cell.

[Sasha]

Sasha slowly stumbled down the remains of the city. This city was destroyed by an explosion.. but a normal explosion couldn't destroy this WHOLE city.. it had to be some kind of nuclear explosion.. from an android.. a self destruct perhaps... Sasha continued thinking about what might've happened again until his arm starts to ache again. He quickly grabs it in pain and groans. He doesn't know who to call out for.. or who might be able to help him.

[Tristen]

Tristen sat there in a chair in Lady Violet's office. He looked saw Lady Violet walk out and understood how she had other buisseness to attend to.. but he became alittle nervous when noone came back. Tristen got out of his chair and tip-toed to the entrance of her office. He peeked out and looked left to right. "..heelloo....?" He called out shyly.

[Cephrien]

Ceph quietly walked down to the cells and went to the one that Thomas was in.
Suprisingly he was still there.. which made him abit releived, but then he layed his eyes on Tina which made him feel horrible.
He stood there, staring at them both.

[Rhonwin]

Rhonwin made her way out of the rubble before the man could wake up and catch her stealing some of his food.
"Thanks for the help, Xiu." she said sarcastically since she gathered what she could by herself. Oh well, the girl could make it up later.
They still didn't have enough of the regular supplies though, like water and... well, money. They had all the things to help with wounds should her power to cure give out and a fair amount of food, now. Not too much, but good to last for another week perhaps.
She also wondered if there were any other survivors that were unconscious like the man. Hey, they could give her something for the help... not like they'd have much to begin with, but oh well...
"Come on, girly. Lets go dig through the rubble for buried treasure." she said to Xiu.
There had to be more places like that basement left in the city of Helsinki. People did have storm cellars, didn't they?

[Yoko]

Yoko waits for the swinging to slow down before getting off the bed.
"I think I'm ready to go back, now. Come on!" she says before running down the stairs and waiting right outside the door for him.
From outside, it must've looked like she ran out from inside the tree through it's bark. The fairy world was full of fascination...

[Anutsaka]

Teleporting to Bassarov's apartment, Anutsaka leaves Yakkul outside to graze on whatever food there was left.

"How is everything Bassarov? Is life treating you well? Mind if I sit down for a while?" Anutsaka said, still at the door, waiting for Bassarov to allow him in.

[Lysander Josef Bassarov]

I look at all the destruction...

"Im sure they are fine.. they must be..."

I try to reach my dad

*Dad... Dad, are you there? Are you okay?*

I hope he responds

"YOu said your name was Anna? Is that right?"

[Anne]

I walk through the destruction of Helsinki, looking for someone. There are very few around, even the base is ruined.

"Is anyody around?"

I know there isnt anyone, so I start walking towards where the the base used to be.
