Living The Unlife

[Alister Watanabe]

"I agree, it will be interesting to see the outcome of things."
Alister and Sayuka take a walk in the light rain and talk more about politics and what the revolution could bring.

[Lady Violet]

I return to my office and see that Draconius Frued did not heed my request. I send him another message that he is to begin tests on the anarchists.

At least the Minister of Education seems eager to get started. Krupskaya has begun to set up her Ministry in Helsinki. Now, if only I can get the Ministry of Economics to comply.

I look over the other reports and debate whether or not we should send Ahriman to finish off Freak Boy.

[Noe "Ghost" Carlson]

"Hello Violet. I have some news for you."

Noe stands in Violet's office, his face covered with a fake white beard and a red santa hat on his head. Noe gives no indication that anything is out of the ordinary.

"We'll be test running our wanzer prototype today. The test site is thrity miles southwest of Puttgraden in Schleswig-Holstein. You will likely detect large scale mechnical movements there for the better part of the day.

If you would like to see for yourself, fell free to come by."

[Calithin]

"Suit yourself."

*I say walking to the fridge and getting out an old apple. I look around for a knife, find one and start cutting out all the nasty parts.*

"I don't actually, I can hardly sleep at night anymore. So I suppose it would be a rest, I would lay down and rest for a while, but not sleep. I could never sleep during the day anyway, I always feel like I'm missing something grand."

[Hope98]

"I like the day time, but there is something beautiful about night. I feel alive when the stars are out and I have that sort of nocturnal solitude."

[Calithin]

"I prefer night, it's cooler and peaceful. But it makes no difference, I can rarely sleep either way. I think I like late afternoon most of all though, there is not the stress of day or the solitude of night. Everyone is going home to their loved ones and their sanctuary's after a long day and it gives... I don't know, but it's a nice acomplishing, mellow feeling. And the sky is nice, I like sunsets."

*I eat a few of the good parts of my apple.*

[Hope98]

"I am an android so I don't need rest. I am not sure when I would sleep if I had to sleep."

I watch Cal eat his apple.

"I didn't know we had apples here. Or are you eating the apple of discord that you carry around with you." I say sort of eccentricly.

[Calithin]

"There was one apple in the fridge, but it was very old and ugly, so I cut out all the bad parts and ate the good. It was fine through and through. I dislike apples to be completely honest, I am more an orange or bannana or grape person. Yet they stick me with the "apple" of discord, I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it work just as well being any other fruit. Or maybe pineapple, or coconut..."

*I mention a few other fruitish things I woule prefer to an apple and wash the knife I used, dirty dishes plague me.*

[Hope98]

"If you are going to take a nap, I can rest with you. Sure I am an android and don't need rest at all in the least, but I like being next to you. Maybe it could be a date of discord, dates seem pretty discordant. There should be a "something" of hope. Maybe...a carrot of hope. But then not many people like carrots."

[Julia]

I decide to travel to Argentina to spy on Freak Boy. I want to make sure that he doesn't return to Helsinki. I arrive in Buenos Aires and start my search for him.

[Fenitchka]

I clean my house and make sure everything is nice and tidy.

When the house is clean I make some snacks for Daniel, Kolya, and myself for later.

I make chex party mix since that seems like a good movie snack.

[Roland the Black Hearted]

"Alright," says Roland's voice outside Cynthia's cell, "That's long enough for it to spread. Let her go. With any luck she'll infect the others." Cynthia's cell opens and a pair of guard enter, picking her up and taking her outside into the snowy night. "Good bye, Cynthia," says Roland as they pass him, "And have fun in your last days."

[Calithin]

"I don't like dates... they're odd and squishy. Love carrots though. They're good for the eyes you know, people are always telling me."

*I say looking around for a moment.*

"You are welcome to join me for a rest... Where are the rooms?""

[Hope98]

I lead Calithin to an empty room, at the farm house which seems to have more rooms than a farm house should.

"I really hate squash. I think that is my least favorite vegetable. My least favorite fruit would be...grapefruit. Too tart. But I love strawberries."

[Danuel Stinin]

Dan puts the finishing touches on both his homework, and the treasure map he's been preparing for the VtM meet next week just as the bell rings.

Gathering his materials, Dan swings his pack onto his back and walks out onto the school grounds. He looks around for a moment, taking a little time to remember which way it is to Fen's apartment.

Remembering, he sets off. He'd picked up an old cartoon called the Lion King at the video place. They'd discussed it once when he was in political science class.

They'd discovered that the warthog and the mercat represented the capitalists, lazy and without value. Scar was the facsits, and lead the stupid people who followed him to ruin along with the good people who they forced. And finally, Simba had been the current system, realizing that only when they were all equal could they thrive.

It had been a long discussion. Dan had thought that the movie was fun as well as educational. A good choice.
