Dark Characters of a Blinding White Void

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

"No, it won't. Fraulien Zadung was adamant about that." I see that he is suffering from nicotine withdrawl... I get one of the cheap Chinese cigarettes that the prison stocks, and light it. The smoke burns and tastes horrible, but I pretend to enjoy it anyways.

[Dinari Dollar]

"Sure, we could start mining, but we would have to be careful, but I think we can manage."

This is really boring. I wonder what Paris is thinking about.

[Lady Blue]

"Paris, people have homes now. Bad homes to be sure, but homes nonetheless. Before we worry about rehousing the population we need to get them work." So they can make money for us and themselves. "I'm certain you understand my reasons."

[Paris]

*I start to get bored of this and think of all the things I could do then waste my time* I thought. "Well if this is it I have a party to get to." I said as I took an envelope out. "Diniri was invited to." I said handing him an invitation. It was the seal of the Prince of Wales on the back.

[Damascus]

"Thank you, Violet." Damascus said when she told him he could stay on the couch.
"Oh, its not hard to be a friend to the woman you love. Sleep tight." He called after her.
And, after sleeping for most of the next day, Damascus woke up in Violet's house, yawning wide enough to pop his jaw several times.
"Good morning world, its me." He said, like he had every morning for the past thousand years. "How will today turn to me. Good or ill? Only time will tell, eh?"
It unsettled most people that he talked to nothing so much, but it wasn't a bad habit, and, let's face it, its always nice to wake up with something to talk to. In Damascus' case, that happens to be the day itself.

[Lady Blue]

"Don't you care about the future Paris? Red Infinity can take all your things away just because they don't like you, and believe me they don't. I'm trying to secure your right to spend frivolusly and hold wasteful, frequently immoral parties, and you don't seem to care. If you don't want to help with business skills that's fine, we could use simple financial aid too."

[Dinari Dollar]

"A party, cool!"

I look at Lady Blue and stand up to leave with Paris.

"Okay so we start mining. It is settled. I can invest in this mining project."

[Faust]

He smiled, bent over and returned the kiss. He looked up at Edea.

Edea...thank you. So much. I owe my life and hers.

He smiled once again at Eliza and embraced her

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

The second hand smoke is somewhat soothing, but I'm nonetheless annoyed.

"I see..." I say, not really sure about how else to respond.

"Would you even want me to be a part of his life?"

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

"Me? I want him to be happy. Whatever path leads to happiness." I choke on the cigarette, and carelessly throw it at him. "How the hell can you stand those filthy things?"

[Lady Blue]

"Thank you Dinari, I may grow to respect you yet." I look to Paris and await her answer, and begin mentally composing a dispatch concerning the founding of the new 'Penn's Forest Coal Company.'

[Paris]

"Goodbye Lady blue, i have truly enjoyed." I said smiling. I got up with my purse and went and opened the door. *Well that was short.* I thought. As I signaled Diniri to come.

[Dinari Dollar]

I follow Paris out.

"So where is the party?"

[Eliza]

I smiled. As I kissed him once more. "What has happened I feel I have been away forever." I said. "Last I remember is that awful burglary." I said leaning my head on his soilders.

[Lady Blue]

I scowl as soon as they are out of the room. Paris, Paris, Paris... It's half-hearted fools like you that got us into this Red Infinity mess in the first place!!!
