Things to be Gained

[Kelthassil]

"Of course, my lady," I say respectfully.

[Alexander Carnegie]

"That might be a little difficult, seeing as how it's currently in India, and that Red Infinity isn't supposed to know about it, since everything is supposed to be radioactive in India. I'll see what I can do, how far away is she?"

[Roane]

(ok thanks)

Roane gets up and stretches. She throws back the mossy blanket that had covered her and sat on the edge of the bed. She had been out for quite some time she knew. Perhaps her fairy blood was trying to heal her of any wounds from the battle from before or her heart needed a bit of downtime. She had lost and regained the love of her life in one day. She looked down at her dress.

It shone as it always had. The white sand bonded together smoother than any silk. She ran her hands over the material and smiled. It was a gift from her love and it was what she hoped to be in always.

She rose from the bed and went to a mirror. She took a brush and began to run it through her long red locks. She checked her face applying berry juice and other natural pigments to her face until she looked as good as any hollywood starlet would. She smiled as she used a root to brush her teeth. This life was perfect. Far more so than her life had been with red infinity. She heard voices carried through the bark and recognised Grove. She smiled and went down the stairs pausing when they began talking of the god red infinity agent. She had once been like him. She was overall good but had done many bad things whilst under their employ. She stopped and sat on the steps.

She put her elbows to her knees and propped her head up with her hands. It was impolite to easedrop but she wondered if any ill will was held her because she too once had been red infinity. She sat waiting wanting to join them but felt she for once should not rush to Groves side.

~What should I do? Would he want me to interrupt mother? Or should i stay here like some idiot highschool girl?~

He probably heard her thoughts but at the moment Roanes feelings outweighed her sense.

[Simona Weil]

"I am not the best cook myself, but I always enjoy making pasta since it is so easy."

I sit down and start to eat.

"I wonder where the other anarchists are?" I say to myself.

[Ivan T. Boomstar]

"You know Simona, if you want her to do a painting of human suffering, why don't you just have her paint you," said Ivan.

"Simona, how long must you let yourself suffer? Whatever they did to you at the Ministry of Terror wasn't right. And what I did to you wasn't right either. But sitting around and wallowing in my shame will not steer me toward salvation. Don't you see, Simona? You'll never find happiness if you don't allow yourself to find it. So how about painting human joy?"

[Cynthia]

(To Moira)

Cynthia sees this stranger enter her apartment. She assumes that she works for Red Infinity, otherwise there would be no way for her to get infromation on where Cynthia lived. "Hello, sorry but I'm off duty right now, and you are invading my apartment."

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

"She is on her way to Helsinki. Come on, a big strong handsome smart boy like you can do many amazing things I imagine. So, you can get the coal here, can't you Alex?"

[Simona Weil]

"Ivan..."

I look down at my pasta.

"I don't mind suffering. It is a blessing to suffer since it unifies us with Christ our Savior."

[Moira]

"Listen girly girl, I could meet you on the streets but that might attract A.S.S."

I fold my arms.

"I came here since I care about your safety."

[Ivan T. Boomstar]

"Christ suffered so that we don't have to. You don't have to suffer, Simona. You're stronger than that. You were once an icon of spirituality. You were a symbol of the spirit of true anarchy. More importantly, you were my friend. You are my friend. What reason is there for you to fill yourself with pain?" said Ivan

[Alexander Carnegie]

I lean forward on my elbows, resting my chin in my hands.

"Well there are only so many buttons I can push, and only so much can be teleported at a time. Although I'm sure something can be arranged."

I cross my legs, and pull out my cell phone, flicking it open as it leaves my pocket. I call the manager in India, and let him know the situation.

"...and send it to the port in Murmansk, I have a few people who would kindly look away from such a transaction... No, Russia, and I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Thank you."

I hang up.

"It'll be here within the hour."

[Lady Violet]

"I will listen to your warnings and await a full report once you learn more details about the source of this power. Good day to both of you."

I usher the two albino elves out of my office and lock the door.

[Simona Weil]

I sigh and rest my fork on my plate.
"I suffer so I can be united with Christ and with the sufferings of others. It is hard to explain. It has something to do with being a mystic. I strive for a spirituality and a compassion that others don't understand. But you are my friend, I care about you, please don't worry about me, Ivan."

[Kankahattaret]

I teleport with Kelthassil back to the Ministry of Terror. I feel a little upset that Violet did not do more about this threat, but at least she listened to us.

"We will have to do some more investigating it seems. I don't mind. My missions lately have been boring and I am eager to find out more about this God." I say to my Taivalan counterpart.

[Cynthia]

Cynthia rests her hands on her hips, annoyed by this intruder.
"I appreciate the sentiment hon, but a phone call would've been nice. And I think Red Infinity has more things to worry about than me parading dark alleys." She calms herself.

"I'm sorry. If you do hire me, I'll be expecting a nice tip." She looks at Steve, then back to Moira. "And I know of a place more discreet than this."
