The Flavor of Revenge

[Sasha Kropotkin]

Hip to the idea, Antero and I lock ourselves in lust, and anger towards everything. I am reminded of Lady Blue, and feel nothing, only this black hole which is engulfing everything it nears.

After we are done, we collapse on top of each other, naked, and breathing heavily into each other.

I lean back against the wall, and close my eyes, Antero lay limp with his arms haphazardly placed around me. My eyes dart open upon the realization that there is nothing. My eyes fixate on the wall in the distance, admiring its markings and all the subtle indentations and ridges, and imagine what it must be like to be pressed up against there, helpless and naked.

I feel cold, and pull a shirt on over my body, falling asleep into a dreamless sleep, my eyes open the majority of the time.

[Josef Stalin]

Stalin was marching through the halls of HQ in Beijing. He was in a very good mood today, which scared people. When you see Stalin smiling, it normally means one of two things. One: He's back from an execution or Two: He's working some diabolical scheme in the back of his sick, twisted and demented mind.

In this case, the second one applied. A new series of propaganda films. Stalin had a trilogy planned out and he had the rough first drafts in his hands. However, in order to get this approved, he would need to see Dr. Murdock. Perhaps Dr. Murdock would be willing to help him with translating, as he wrote it all in Russian.

Stalin stopped by his office and checked Red Infinity's database for Dr. Murdock's location. After finding her he proceeded to actually make the trouble to go to her. He needed the excercize anyway. He was starting to sport some more lbs.

[Calithin]

"See it's not so hard to let me win. Things would move along nicely if you did so more often."

*Saying so in a very condescending tone, I flip through the countless programs consumed with finding the right one and stop on the History Channel. But it is in between shows so I wait.*

"Anyway, thankyou."

[Zinn]

Freak said:

(Why am I the only one with no obligations? Is no one else here a free lance writer? lol)

((Zinn is a writer. So is Devin, although he hasn't posted lately. We used to have another writer named Sephos, but she was killed by LIF for being part angel.))

Zinn wakes up, and notices that Wyrm is on the floor. She feels bad about that.

No one should have to sleep on the floor, or be on their knees, she thinks, accidentally projecting her thoughts. She doesn't notice that she has done so.

Zinn takes the blanket that she had had on the bed and puts it over Wyrm. She doesn't want to lift his head to get him a pillow, because she doesn't want to wake him up accidentally. He looks so peaceful and relaxed when he sleeps. It's sort of cute.

Zinn goes to the bathroom to was up. She also gets a change of clothes out of her backpack. It is a lot less than what she usually wears. She usually wears three or four layers of clothes, but since she doesn't know how long it will be until she next has access to a washing machine, she only takes out a long sleeved, striped shirt and jeans. The shirt is oversized, so she hopes it will hide her thinness. She still feels uncomfortable about that.

Shame is a product of the status quo.

Somehow, despite this thought, she doesn't seem reassured.

[Hope98]

"Oh, I like the history channel." It wasn't as though I simply let Cal win. I never just let people win. I just figured a person has to choose their battles. Anyway, I was tired of fighting today. I sit quietly beside him on the sofa and watch the history channel. As I watch, I figure that many things in the program are Red Infinity lies.

[Julia]

I send the hacker another message.

Turn you in?
that was a simple misunderstanding. Now, will you live your life in fear or take some chances?

I am loyal to Red Infinity and will remain loyal, I just want to see how he reacts.

[Josef Stalin]

Finally, Stalin makes it to Dr. Murdock.

"Ah, Dr. Murdock, I am hoping I am not interrupting anything of importance. I have come to ask for your help in a new project I've been working on." Stalin said, gesturing to the three scripts.

I should be back in about 15 to 30 minutes. I ned breakfast and we're out of food so we're going to IHOP. Oh, btw, Zinn, I wanted to thank you for opening my eyes to the evils of McDonalds. No, that is not sarcasm. I'm now aboard the kill Micky D's platform....

[Dr. Andrea Murdock]

"Of course not. I was about to finally finish my preformance reviews, but I can wait, sir," Dr. Murdock says. She notices that Stalin has put on a little weight. She will have to ask the caferteria to restrict him to healthier, lower fat foods for a while. Fat party members do not send a good message to the masses.

"What is the nature of your project, Mr. Stalin?"

[Nova Kollontai]

I wake up early. It is only 5am. I hop into the shower and change clothes. I think about the feminists. I will visit them again, but for now, the anarchists seem to need more members. I will stick around them and see how things turn out here. I will try to send the feminists an email later.

When I am done in the shower, I brush my teeth and stare into the mirror. I touch my face and then my own broad shoulders.

"Do I want to break this spell? Maybe...I just would like to....not have to change. To remain a man. I am starting to like this form better." I say to myself quietly.

I leave the bathroom and sense that Zinn is stirring. I hurry out the door without saying anything to her. I will pop back later.

[Josef Stalin]

"A trilogy of films to help better the image of Red Infinity." Stalin says, holding up the manuscripts. They're all relatively thick and in Russian.

"I'm hoping you can help me translate them to English. I am also open to any suggestions you may want me to include..."

Ok, it figures as soon as I say we're ready to go, Mom gets a phone call.

[Dr. Andrea Murdock]

Dr. Murdock looks over the manuscripts. She can read very. very quickly.

((What are the manuscripts about?))

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter's eyes flutter then open. He sits up, rubbing his neck with his hand. He felt stiff. He shouldn't have let himself fall asleep at the table like that. Rubbing his eyes with his free hand, Peter looks around the compartment. Lana is still asleep and Lena looks like she's sleeping as well.

Standing quietly, Peter walks towards the door. Maybe he'd go to see if he could get them something to eat from the dinning car. He didn't have much cash left on him but he should have enough for some snadwiches.

[Helene]

Helene impatiently pokes Deetric in the ribs with her elbow."Your silence won't discourage me. Really, whats so horrible about your family?"

[Raine]

Raine took a step back when the others started talking.She felt very shy.She leaned against the wall and listened to their conversation.She was happy to meet Bassarov but she was also a bit afraid of him too.

(Sry ^^*)

[TheWyrm]

((Sorry about that, this thread is now unlocked))

I awake to find a blanket over me, and see Zinn walk off into the distance. I smile, and pull the blanket up over my shoulders and up to my chin. I was used to sleeping in uncomfortable conditions, surrounded by cat 5 cables, power cables, phone cables, what have you, but a blanket is nice none the less.

After sleeping for a few more hours, I wake up, and set my laptop beside me. I notice that the other guy is gone, and wonder where he went... Oh well.

I go to brush my teeth but remember that I didn't bring a toothbrush. I borrow a little of Zinn's toothpaste and scrub my teeth with my finger.
