"You can? I would be most greatful. I think I know the area she is in, but exact searching would be difficult. And thank you Bass. Hope will probably be playing a large part in the coming history of this world... I just don't know how yet."

"Good, it was a good thing that you stopped by when you did. Now you have a cute little helper on the mission. Good for you, Peter." Bassarov eats a nut bitterly. He turns to Zero and tries his best to pretend that he is his normal cheery and charasmatic self.

"Of course I could. I'm always happy to help someone. Bassarov, I hope you don't mind. I'll be back later, thank you very much again for letting me stay here. It was very kind of you." Lena gives Bassarov a gentle smile before standing.
"What area is it you think she is in?" Even through she knows she'll have no clue where it is, she asks anyway. Lena is surprised by Bassarov's comment. She thinks he may be mad. "I'm.. sorry.. Did I do something wrong?" She asks sadly.

As much as he tries I can tell that Bassarov's expression is false. After all I am telepathic. But I don't bring it up, that's an issue for private discussion. "Well I need to get back to my work. I'll be at the base if you need me lubimi, I'll see you later." I walk out, lightly brushing his shoulder as I do. I love him, and I'm going to show him affection, even if it's not returned.
(well I'm off, cya later)

"South eastern Russia I think. Thank you so much for the help." Peter smiles, still slightly red from his blushing and the cold, but regaining his normal complexion. "Bass, thank you for the help. And let me know if you ever need my help in the future."

"Oh no, you did nothing at all wrong. Just have a nice time with Peter and I will be sure to show you around the city the next time I see you." Bassarov says with a smile.
He watches Zero go out the door. He sends her a telepathic message before she goes.
Monogamy is killing me.
"Sure thing Peter. If something comes up, I will call on you..."

"Oh, it's all right. I like helping people. I hope I'll see you soon, Bassarov. " Lena says smiling again. "How are we going to get there?" She asks Peter, wondering what ways people traveled. She'd heard about planes, cars, and trains. She wasn't sure if there were any other ways of traveling, unless they walked, of course.
(be right back, have to reboot.)

Bassarov goes to his room and finds a mysterious letter. It appears to be from someone trying to start up a democratic socialist movement. He examines the letter and frowns.
"What is this? Democratic socialism...sell outs...they are oportunists all of them." He says with a scowl.

"Drive, for starters," says Peter, leading Lena outside. Closing the door behind them, Peter pulls his coat tighter around him against the chill wind. Lena doesn't seem to be bothered by it though. "We'll drive as far as the train station. Train will be the fastest way to travel for this.
So, how did you end up in Bass's place Lena? He mustn't have told you who he was and you don't seem like the kind of person he'd normally have asked back to his place. Well, I hope not anyway. Bass is... is... I'm not sure how to put it really."

Bassarov shreds the letter. He is still a little angry about Peter stealing Lena from him. Not that the girl would be interested in Bassarov and not that even if she was Bassarov could do anything. He tosses the bits of letter onto the floor and furiosly composes his own letter to the 4th internationale...

Dinari looks for a long time and finally finds a bag of chips.
Since no one is in the living room, he turns on the TV, and relaxes.
He watches TV until he falls asleep.

"Oh.. Well, I had used this spell that some woman sold to be that was to teleport me and my sister from The Ice Lands. I landed up around here and started to talk to Dinari, since he was one of the first people I saw. Then we went to this ship.. and then we went to Bassarov's place since Dinari said he would let us stay here. Dinari wasn't really dressed for the cold weather. I have no clue where Lana would have ended up, or if she was even teleported."
Lena says, following Peter. " Bassarov is what? He seemed nice."

Dear Members of the 4th International,
It has come to my attention that someone is calling for the rebirth of the democratic socialist movement. The "more moderate" socialist voice may seem appealing, but, I suppose the call of a siren is also appealing. Do not be led astray, to crash on the craggy rocks of capitalist politics, which is what democratic socialism is to me.
It is a compromise and it has always been the movement for opportunists who are afraid to abolish the ruling class out of their own selfish interests.
As much as I would like to, I am not going to rant on this any longer.
I know that our movement has been demoralized by Red Infinity and that people are tired. A counter revolution is hard when so many lives have already been cost. But it remains the only way. Red Infinity's power is corrupt and entrenched, that there can be no compromises and no long term hope in reform. Revolution is the only way to turn power over to the working people worldwide.
WE CAN SETTLE FOR NOTHING LESS!
V. Bassarov
Bassarov sends his letter to everyone is his party and anyone who he thought may have received the Kautsky letter.

Peter blinks slowly, "Ice Lands?" After a moment a look of understanding crosses his face, "Oh, your an Ice Maiden! Alright, I understand now. Explains why you don't seem to know some stuff to."
Peter rubs the back of his neck, "Bassarov isn't very traditional, at least not in the sense that I was raised in. The girl there was his girlfriend, which is probably why he was being nice.
I'm not saying he's a bad guy, he's nice in his own way, but he probably would have been trying to get you to sleep with him if Zero hadn't been there. I personally don't understand that but if that's the way Bassarov wants to be... Anyway I wouldn't advise you stay there unless you'd like him hitting on you."
Finishing his speech, Peter rubs his hands together a little to warm them up. "Sister... well, once we find Hope, I'll help you find your sister. It's only fair. Who knows, we might even find her while we're looking for Hope."
Peter stops besides a yellow sports car, one of the ones he used to use when he was with the LIF. They'd never asked for the keys back.
"So this is your first time on the main land? All this must be really new for you then."

Kautsky's raven observes Bassarov shred the letter that was sent to all of the socialists. The bird bobs its head and flies away. It will report this to his master. Kautsky will not be pleased that Bassarov seeks to thwart the democratic socialist movement in its infantcy.
