A Quiet Groan of Change

[Kassenia]

I force a smile and look at Huey for a moment.

"I will be just a moment. I am sorry for our rude interruption."

I turn back to this being and almost snarl out my answer.

"I have not had any missions as of late. However I will sign your d**n paper. Really you guys should keep better records."

I scrawl Kassenia on the form and hand it back to him.

"Happy now?"

(Look huey posted when i did. it still kinda works...go with it roland.)

[Roland the Black Hearted]

Roland takes the papers back, glancing at Huey. He raises an eyebrow then looks back at Kassenia. "You... are not Kaieka? Ah, I see. A government clone. So many of those around these days. Very good likeness, you look just like her. Have the same bit as well. Sorry for the misunderstanding." The color fades from Roland and he slides against the wall, becoming a shadow and vanishing all together.

[Kassenia]

I look at Huey and burst out laughing.

"What the hell was that all about?"

She laughs because it is all she can do save for crying.

[Huey P. Newton]

"That just shows how ignorant some of the members of Red Infinity are. True, Lin-Sat has hired plenty of intelligent members, a vast majority of Red Infinity can't tell the difference between Hitler and Castro." he said, rolling his eyes.

"Anyway... you always have to put up with morons like that?" asked Huey, leaning against the wall as well.

[Kassenia]

"Yeah. You will learn really fast most of our division is filled with loser, idiots, beings with complexes...the list goes on and on. Hell Kaschei has this thing about being above everyone else. Thinks the world will end when he dies. Hes got one bad ego. And hes also a prick. Sorry that your dealings are with him."

She turns still leaning against the wall.

"They sure picked a messed up time to bring you to. How are you adjusting to this place?"

I am going soft. Its all valodyas fault. And Kaiekas. d**n them both.

[Huey P. Newton]

"It's alright. I was watching some ancient videos earlier. I saw Ali... I wanted to shoot Mario Van Peebles. Malcolm X was a great man, and Mario didn't do him any justice.

"For the most part, I'm adjusting ok... It is a bit strange though, seeing books and movies published about myself and the Party." he said, looking at a bookshelf with a book titled 'Sieze The Time; The Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey Newton.'

[Faust]

The razor misses Faust as he sees Meg get knocked over from where he put her. He jumped over to her and stood before her, knocking one of the kids out of his way. Eliza! Take care of the brats! I need to make... amends with Oogie. He smirked.

He leaped up and summoned his axe. He dug his axe into the ground and pushed up, causing his body to fly at Oogie. Prepare to meet my master!

[Kassenia]

"Yeah this must be overwhelming at times. I know when i came into existance I had so much pressure to be like Kaieka. All you have to do is live up to what you already are. And personally i do not like mario van peebles. I liked his dad better."

I look at him and smile. It was nice to talk to someone.

"Kascheis office is right here. If you want I can wait on you and show you around the building? what is your occupation by the way? Maybe we will be in the same building..."

What was I thinking. I am flirting with someone I should not be. He was a strong man with his own identity. I am nothing. I am not even my own person.

[Huey P. Newton]

"Well, they said I did such a good job with the Panthers that they decided to go ahead and make me Minister of Defense here, too. My office is close to Joseph Stalin's actually. Almost right next to it.

"Just between you and me, I saw him and nearly fainted. I mean, I guess I should have been prepared but... oh well." he said, grinning.

"I would like to have a little tour of the building though."

[Kassenia]

I look at the door to Kascheis office and grab Hueys hand.

"Come on then. Kaschei can wait. He is good at that. Being immortal and all."

I take him to the cafeteria first.

"Heres the caf. Its ok to eat some of the food. I do not eat here however. They only serve type O positive. I want a bit of variety. What do you like to eat?"

I let go of his hand. I do not want him thinking the wrong things about me.

[Huey P. Newton]

Huey thought for a second. He smiled and looked Kassenia. "Are McDonalds or Burger King still around, or did they go out of business?" he asked, remembering the juicy, meaty burgers.

[Kassenia]

"Well we have similar franchises. We have the red king, and r burgers which is like a mcdonalds. All of the franchises were taken over by the government."

I laugh softly.

[Petyr "Volt" Krueger]

Volt sits quietly in a small dinner. Small businesses were the only kind left these days, and there were fewer and fewer of then all the time.

At least this place could be depended on. He'd been coming here for years and all the same people still worked here, all the same customers mixed in with the walk-ins. It was comforting.

Having the government buildings just down the street was strange. Someone people with government ID badges came in. They seemed normal enough. They talked, laughed, even had moments of sadness. Sitting here, Petyr almost believed that the government did believe in equality. Of course, a look out the window largely ruined that thought.

He'd managed to get some food stuff at the black market, enough for the week or so at least. It was a good thing he had a stable job. Picking at his food, Volt's mind wanders. Maybe rebellion was the thing to do...? Maybe he should see what that "Zero" woman had to say...

[Huey P. Newton]

"I see... and I suppose they have the Red Mac?" he asked, half seriously.

[Kassenia]

"Actually they are named after people who helped establish them through the ages. The big mac is now called the lin sat burger. It is their biggest selling item. Lady violet has her own line of salads with that particular franchise...they adopted another...it was something vineyard now its violet vineyard salads. Come I will show you. The building is drab anyway."

She walks to the exits.
