The Importance of Hope

[Lady Violet]

"We are slightly involved." I reply.
"It is stressful and awkward. Don't worry much over it. It is not some form of betrayal and bears no political meaning."
I look at the ground.
"I wish you had not come. I will do my best to see that everyone is safe." I say vaguely.

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

I scratch my head nervously, still uncomfortable about being around Lady Violet.

"Thank you, Violet... I really do appreciate it..." I say, somehow strangely okay with the notion that Trotsky and Lady Violet are sort of an item.

"Have you met Mitya, by the way..?" I ask, changing the subject.

[Lady Violet]

"Only briefly. He is being trained by Talice." i check my watch and gaze back at the city.


I must go. You can return home safely from here."
Without saying another word, I teleport back to my home and collapse on the sofa, emotionally exhausted.

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

Before I can thank her again, she's gone. I notice that there's a teleportation booth nearby, and head back to Helsinki.

"What a night..." I think to myself, casually tossing a cigarette into my mouth.

[Trotsky]

Trotsky sees Lady Violet arrive back at the house, and has tea ready for her by the time she's back.
"I apologize for being so callous, Violet, here's some tea." He says, pouring her a glass.

[Lady Violet]

"Sorry I over reacted, it is merely a little stressful for me..." I take the tea, which does serve to relax me.
I feel confused and afraid. I don't want Red Infinity to think I am disloyal. On the contrary, my kindness to the rebels is a way to get them to trust Red Infinity and promote our cause.

"I should go to sleep soon. My days are so full."

[Trotsky]

Trotsky sips his tea.
"It's alright. It's a little stressful for me as well." He says, somewhat invigourated about meeting this rebel. "I am thankful for you putting your life out on the line for me, but if it does become too great a risk, let me flee, and I can make due on my own."

[Lady Violet]

"If I let you go, you would be a greater threat to Red Infinity. I am putting Red Infinity before myself as well, you see. It is possible that this could result in my death, but I can think of no better way to go than for what I believe in and work for."

[Trotsky]

"I should have anticipated as much. We had comrades who said the same thing about the fourth internationale." He says, finishing his tea.
"But perhaps now is a good time to retire for the evening. Goodnight, Violet." He says, heading towards his room.

[Lady Violet]

"Yes, sleep well." I go to my room and get into bed. I close my eyes and spend some time agonizing over my day. Finally sleep comes.

[Cat]

(Sure can do LuLu *sticks thumb up*.)

Cat wanders around the streets around the R I Hq.Sh was looking for Men...

[Cephrien]

Ceph stumbled down the dark streets, panting. He could feel life leaving him as his blood trickled from his body. Everything began to get blurry and he began to get weaker.
..and in a few seconds.. he fell over and passed out.

[Cat]

'nuts'Cat thought to herself as she forgot about looking for men and saw another guy fall on the ground.She quickly strode towards him and checked his pulse.It was faint but there.

[Cephrien]

Ceph moaned in pain. One of Relentless' Throwing Stars were still drived into his back.

[Huey P. Newton]

Huey had been heading to his office when he saw a man pass out, bleeding. He cursed and ran over to him, holding his gun, ready for any assassin to creep out from behind a corner. He ran up to Cat and Cephrien.

"What happened here?" he asked, still surveying the area.
