"Have a nice day." Stalin said, putting his feet up on his desk and leaning back with his glass in hand. He sighed. It was a good start to a good day...

Once I return to my office I call Set. I order Set to capture Valkoinen and throw him into the Ministry of Terror. I then call Kaschei and tell him that the Ministry of Terror needs a new torturer training program. Lastly I call Nakia and tell her that her new mission is to be the body guard of Stalin.
I sigh and sit at my desk looking over some world reports.

Leon Trotsky walks through the building of the International headquarters of Red Infinity, taking in his surroundings. Kaschei wasn't much help, so he decides to find someone else who is in charge. He opens the door to Lady Violet's office.
"Hello, you are Lady Violet, correct?" He asks, in a slight Russian accent, and an unintentionally agitated voice.

I look up from my work and see none other than Leon Trotsky enter my office.
I nearly fall out of my chair.
"Why hello Mr. Trotsky, I just met with Stalin. What a day this is turning out to be." I say with a nervous voice,
"It is a pleasure to meet you, even if you are a betrayer to the party." I smile.

"I beg your pardon..!" He says, apalled. "Stalinist revisionism..." He decides to hold his tongue. "I wish to speak with you in private."

I feel ashamed as though I have been scolded by a strict school teacher. But it's true!!
Oh well, I suppose I can humor the traitorous Trotsky and converse with him in private.
"I can take you back to my home. I have some things to pick up there anyway. By the way, I am Lady Violet Zadung, Secretary General of Red Infinity."
I shake his hand and as I do I teleport us both to my home.
"Ah here we are, take a seat on my sofa. I try to keep a modest home."
I pick up some toys that Hikari left out and sit down with Trotsky.
"So then, what shall we talk about?"

"It's comforting to know that all party members are not simply beauracratic cancer sores sucking the life out of the working class in the same manner the bourgeoisie did in the century before socialism." He says, at some sort of attempt at flattery.
"You see, I was brought here against my will, but as mister Kaschei explains things to me, I was about to be killed by a Stalinist agent. I beg to differ!" Trotsky says, as he pulls out an ice pick from his pocket. "What I would like to know is, what has happened? What time period am I in? How is teleportation and time travel possible?" His curious brain thirsts for this new knowledge.

"Oh so you have come to the future from the past. Well, it is still nice to meet you. You should not make yourself so public though. You are not remembered well by Red Infinity."
I examine the ice pick.
"You are over 500 years in the future. Red Infinity, a pro Stalin communist government rules the world. I am the spokeswoman for the party. There is a lot to explain and the world is dangerous for you. You can stay here if you like, sir. It may be safer for you for now. Oh, and can I get you some tea?"

Trotsky takes a few seconds to absorb all that she has said. "I see..."
Had all he done after the revolution been in vain? Surely the fourth international had risen to the challenge to stop both Stalinism and capitalism dead in its tracks!
"Thank you, Miss Zadung. Tea would be great."

I go to the kitchen and make some tea for Trotsky and I. I carry it out on a tray, but as I near him I accidently spill it onto the floor and on myself. I wince from the burning tea.
"I'm sorry, look at the mess I have made. I get nervous talking to people like you. Forgive me..."
I bend down and pick up all of the broken bits of porceline from the tea cups.
"I didn't get any on you, did I?"
I brush some small fragments off of his pants.
"I'm sorry, I really am..."

"No you did not... Thank you, Miss Zadung." He says, a little startled by the commotion.
"Here, I'll help you..." He begins to pick up some of the pieces on the floor.

Shard stared at the two for a second and then shifted his eyes to look at his surroundings. "So you guys are the Rebels.. huh..?" He said.
"Normally i would storm in and trash the place, just because of that.... but.. Yano. quite frankly, i really don't give a d**n.."

"I assume you work for Red Infinity then, correct? So, why would you be at the rebel base, if not on a mission of some sort?"
Koto tries to stare at the man coldly, even through she was scared. What if he really was here to catch a rebel or just cause some chaos? She was just a human, and he seemed to be a demon of some sort.
She glaces at Tensuo and then back to Shard.

I dump the broken pieces into the garbage and return to the living room to sit with Trotsky.
"You must forgive me, I have had a stressful day. I had tea with Stalin just a bit ago and am a little stressed at the moment."
I sit down and sigh.
"Well then, where should we start? Is there anything you wish to know about me or Red Infinity?"

"Stalin! That petit bourgeois beauracrat class traitor... He's here too?!" Trotsky says, visibly upset. He calms himself, forgetting that Lady Violet is herself a self proclaimed Stalinist. He clears his throat.
"Well... I would be on edge too if I were to have coffee with Stalin. He did after all, try to kill me." He says, holding his ice pick.
