"I have been with La Resistance all of my life, Madmoiselle, my family was heavily involved in it since Red Infinity's takeover and as far as we are concerned there is no nobler a path for one of our family to follow.

"Peter." I say in a deep and serious voice.
I stand up and turn to face him, very slowly. I am still angry about Calithin and not in a mood to fight. He picked the wrong android and the wrong time in her life.
"Isn't there someone else for you to bother? Some weak girl who has nothing better to do than cling to you. I am in no mood to fight you."

"They name anything after Stalin?" he asked, seeming genuinely interested.
This world was indeed new to him. He didn't bother to ask if anything had been named after him... he could see it now: Newton Nuggets.

(A post to Paris)
I call my sister Paris on the phone once I get some office work done.
"Paris, my darling sister, congratulations! I am not going after Phillipe anymore. I decided that I would be a good sister and let you have him. I was just thinking what a cute couple you would make. You two should get married! You would make such a beautiful bride!"
Yes, I am a vindictive pregnant dog.
"Oh Paris, I am so happy for you. I would pay for your wedding and your honeymoon! I'll even send your first born child through college! Whatever you do, DO NOT LET PHILLIPE GET AWAY. HE IS SUUUUCH A CATCH FOR YOU!"

"I'm not here to fight you."
Peter puts his hands in his pockets and for a moment he looks almost human. His air of tension fades, and he looks worn and stressed.
"I want to talk to you."

I am on guard since Peter may be trying to decieve me just so he can attack. I will not trust him, but if he wishes to talk I will not be beligerant.
"We can talk. What about? I've been through a hard time lately, I don't have much to say."
I sit back down, cautiously.

(I have to go for a bit Huey. I will be back in a few hrs prolly. Sorry for any inconveniance)
"The stalin shakes are not that bad. I mean I have had the chocolate ones before."
I direct him to the nearest red burger and take him inside. It looks just like a mcdonalds except ronald mcdonald is now a pitiful looking clown vaguely resembling george w bush.
"I got cash if you haven't been paid yet. Get you whatever you like. I am sure a big strong man like you gets hungry."
I smirk.

"We've all been though hard times." Peter walks up to Hope, stopping a few steps away from her, standing on the street corner, his coat buttoned around him, hands in the pockets, hair blowing in the wind. He looks fine up close, there is no wear to his skin or his body but something about him seems tired. "Your a robot who's almost human, the most human of any of your kind." Peter reaches up and removes his glasses, examining the things for a moment, holding them in his hand like he's not sure what they really are. "And I'm a human who's almost a robot. Our situations are more similar than they first appear."

"I wish I were less human. I wish I didn't feel. I could be more perfect if these things did not bother me. Loss is such a...painful thing. It is the worst thing in this world. And no one understands. I doubt they even notice he isn't here."
I hate confiding in Peter, but since he is the first person to listen, it is feels good to let it out.
"And you? You feel nothing?"

Huey smiled back. Was she hitting on him? Hmm...
"Thanks. I think I'll have a Lin-Sat Burger with some Newton Nuggets, and a Stalin Shake to drink." he said, observing the menu. Wow... he had guessed correctly. They did name chicken nuggets after him. It sure sounded a heck of alot better than Nader Nuggets.
"I think I'll have some fries with that. Will that be ok?" he asked her.
(No prob. See you in a few hrs.)

"I didn't... once. For seven years I felt no emotion at all. And then... well let's just say someone changed that. After I started feeling again I realized that... it was... cold, feeling nothing. But I think I'd rather feel cold than... than like this."
Peter puts his glasses in his pocket and then removes a different pair, a normal pair, and puts them on. "Calithin was important to you. I understand that. She ment everything to me. But now..." Peter sighs, "I'm sick of missing her. And I'm sick of the pain. But most of all I am sick of the hollow taste of revenge... I wish I could feel nothing again... make it never ha ve happened... but I can't." Peter takes a breath and draws himself up, straightening. "It's just something that has to be dealt with."

"I know how you feel. I just want to feel nothing. I want it taken away. What was the point of feeling only to be left empty handed, lost, and alone."
I am an android warrior super revolutionary girl and surely I will over come all of this. But it is that slow grinding process between here and there.
"Nothing makes it better. Not work, not fighting, nothing. So what can a person do to move onward?"

"Exactly my point. We're immortals Hope, self repairing beings who will continue onwards forever.
Both of us were created, not born. And all created things have a purpose."
Peter closes his eyes and bows his head.
"Tell me: who was responcible for Calithin's death?"

"He disappeared around the time I self destructed. I have no one to blame but myself. But in all truth, I really don't know what happened exactly. Which makes matters all the worse."
I feel that silent and cold pain again.
"At least...you can blame Red Infinity. I...live with the guilt that some how this is all my fault..."
I know that he lost someone to Red Infinity. I do not know the details since I never took much interest in it and because I know very little about Peter other than that he wants to kill me.

Andrew bows his head slightly as a sign of gratefulness..
"Th-thank you very much."
"Umm, this is a bit of a personal question, but may I have something that I can cover my eyes with? Dark glasses, or a blindfold, or something?"
