"Kelthassil, I don't really like Tsubaki. I think that she has bad manners and needs to be put in her place."
We walk through Helsinki and finally find the apartment where Andrew is thought to reside.
"I don't like doing Kaschei's dirty work, nor working with that annoying woman."

"d**n it!" I holster my pistol and draw my sword again, preferring it for fighting powerful creatures. After all it is a much better conductor for both electrical and spirit energies. I stand away from Andrew and charge myself, causing everyone's hair to stand on end and the edge of my sword to crackle with electricity.

"We should hurry Toivo, we have already wasted too much time."
I turn into a swan and help him up onto my back. I take off for Helsinki hoping that we do not arrive too late.

"In a way." Peter flips over the vertically lined cards. Rather than dimands, spades, clubs, or hearts, the cards have sword, coins, cups, and staffs on them.
"Tarot," Peter says simply, gesturing at the cards, "Randomly dealt cards read the flow of energy in the world and in the dealer. Tells the future, or hints at it anyway. I've been practicing since I was in high school." He flips the rest of the cards, mumbles to himself, than gathers then up again.
"Want to have a go?" He askes, shuffling the card once more.

Andrew eyes the sword apprehensively, and makes the dry area around Zero much larger.
"Ahhh... that might not be a good idea Zero. That's electrical right? If it touches the water, we all get a nasty shock."

"Sure, but what do I need to do?" Lena asks, watching him shuffle the cards with interest.

"I know!" I call out, then slash the air at Tsubaki, causing my charge to leap from the blade at her.

I stand back from both Andrew and Zero. They are both more powerful than myself and I feel like I will only get in the way.

Peter stops shuffling and sets the cards down before Lena. "Touch the deck. Then shuffle onces."

"Umm, that sort of includes me. I'm made of water, and water is a good conductor... or maybe not me... I guess I could fuse through it...." Andrew says. Despite his talking, his concentration doesn't waver from his task.
"Blimey, this is gonna be the third time I've had to make repairs. Oh well..."

Elijah is glad to see that Zero is there to lend a hand. He is also happy to see that Andrew is taking a more active role in the fight. Normally, Andrew gets captured without putting up a fight at all. "I just came over to talk about the second international with Andrew, but it seems that whenever I am with him, something bad happens." He says quietly. He wanted to say something, since he was afraid that in the chaos,he would go un noticed.

"Second International? I haven't checked my mail in a while, and I suppose it would be pretty soggy now.... Umm... what is that?" Andrew asks.
Andrew gives a bit of a shy lopsided grin.
"Yeah... um... excellent hearing mate."

"All right..." Lena touches the deck before picking it up. She follows Peter's example of shuffling the deck, but she doesn't so a very good job with it. She bites her bottom lip and figures she did a good enough job. "And now what?"
She asks, looking up from the cards at Peter.

"I'm sorry, it is the democratic socialist movement. I received a letter that a man is trying to start up the democratic socialist movement. I was planning on joining, since as you know...my father was a democratic socialist." Elijah replies. He contiunes to watch the fight, but is much more calm now that Tsubaki seems to be quiet.

I close my eyes in anger.
[glow=violet,2,300]"Democratic socialist movement. So the socialist betrayers are back."[/glow] I do little to hide my contempt for them. I lived through the revolution and take pride in it. In those days, they joined the capitalists against us.
