An Inner Density

[Kith]

I sneaze as I enter my apartment in Moscow.

"I must be catching a cold."

I enter the dark apartment and sit alone for a while, watching re runs of Quantum Leap.

++++++++++++++++++

"So Calithin, my brother is dead. Who would have thought he would just...die? I wonder if anyone will have a funeral for him."

I watch as Sam is dressed like a hussy in one episode.

"What a world..."

[Zinn]

After Ahriman's back is turned, Zinn touches her neck. She is still bleeding. She has always been slow to clot. Zinn supresses a hiss of pain as she asesses the damage. She doesn't show any reaction to Ahriman. If he gets a reaction, he will use any pain she shows to his own advantage.

"You know you're going to have to get more creative than usual with me. I spent three years with Asher. Where is she anyway? I was looking forward to seeing her again," Zinn asks sarcastically.

[Lady Violet]

My work seems endless, but my office has been much quieter today. I haven't seen Hikari for a few days now, and I am starting to worry about her. At least Lin-Sat did not punish me for helping Mischa.

[Pukk]

"I saturate my kool aid with nutra-sweet! It's sacharilicious!"

Pukk licks his lips.

[Steve Fox]

"No family, their all dead. My only friends think that I had think I'm a cheater and a bastard these days. I don't even know where any of them are." Steve picks up his diffle bag and follows Cynthia out of the room and down the street towards her apartment. "I had a few bar friends in America and England but no one I actually know the name of. I had some working partners a few weeks ago but they are my friends. I got nothin'."

[Kaschei]

Kaschei unties a velvet pouch from his belt. He opens it and sticks Pukk inside. He ties it up in a tight knot, and reattaches it to his belt.
Anytime the pouch moves or makes noise, he beats it with his fist.

[Cynthia]

"I see." Cynthia takes this in with a heavy heart. The poor soul... "Listen, no matter what happens, you've got a place to stay. It's probably not what you're used to, but give me a call if you need anything, mister boxer." They arrive at her apartment. She opens the main door, and three rats run out.

"Like I said... Probably not what you're used to..."

[Soren]

Soren walks over to the tree and examines it.

"This one must have come from Tanzania...I can tell by the size of the sausages"



"Yeah, for sure this person was an eccentric. Let's go inside their house and see if they have any more strange things."

[Tapio]

The Fenrir was a gigantic mythical beast. His jaws could crush mountains and he was about the size a mountain. It would be hard to hide something like that in a forest.

The Midgar Serpent rapped itself around the world at least five times, so he could craft a lake, then the serpent idea could work. Its venom killed anything it touched, so that was out of the question.

Ents seemed the only appropiate thing at the moment, and he still had to wait to craft any of those.

Maybe a unicorn, or a flock of pegesus. A griffon might work. Though, maybe because the forest was so spacious, a group of Ents could co-exist with a herd of centaur.

He watched as a most beautiful flower egan to bloom. Forget-me-nots were not even supposed to be anywhere near here, but this one plant would survive and thrive here. This is what he would use if any of the creatures needed him, and this would be a sign to all of his priests that they need only use it to find him.

[Swan of Tounela]

I step up to Tapio from behind.

"I like this elven form, but you aren't fooling anyone."
I see that he is regrowing some of the forest.
"I heard that you joined Red Infinity? Why? Are you too cowardly to defy Ukko?"

[Steve Fox]

"I used to back allys and sewer's, love. This is perfectly tolerable to me." Steve looks around the apartment and inhales slowly. "You can call me Steve, love. And if I'm going to stay here, I would like to split expenses. You know, help out with the rent." He turns around and smiles, "We can be roomies!" He laughs and scratches the back of his head.

[Pukk]

Pukk sprinkles fairy dust on his head and falls asleep.

[Lempo]

Having grown bored in the past few centuries, I decide to drop in on my old drinking buddy Keitolienen and see if he has any blood and human souls for us to get drunk off of.

[Cynthia]

Wow, Cynthia had never had a roommate before, and feels kind of strange that he's being so hospitable. She was used to the come and go lifestyle of being a prostitute. Although most times it was just go. "Thanks, hun... I really do appreciate it, I would love to be your roomie." Cynthia, for the first time in her life, feels self conscious about her apartment.

"Sorry, it's a little messy..." She starts to pick up some bras and panties that were lying out in the open. "Well anyways, tell me more about your politics."

[Keitoleinen]

"Ah another God, they seem to be popping up out of the woodwork. Ukkon Vakat is coming soon, that is, the day of Ukko. I have a feeling that our old friend Jumala Obsidion may try something on that day. You may have plenty to do if that happens."
