Dan tries to speak several times before words come out again. "Letter... in my books... Korbinian Kautsky... rebels... suicide..."
Dan swallows. "Did you come out of the books? You look like them but... but they don't exist." Dan scoots back on his bed, trying to put more distance between himself and Krupskaya. "None of them came out on their own. But their not real... am I still dreaming?"

"Okay, I am a desert nomadic nymph. I am over 700 years old and come from Russia. But that isn't really important. I work for Red Infinity and just wanted to check up on things. I want to make sure that rebels aren't infiltrating the schools trying to fill the students heads with nonsense about rebelion. But, you are a smart kid. You know about the movement I am talking about and even mentioned the man who heads it. Are you involved with them? And if you are, who are the others that are in on this with you?"

Dan blinks then smiles and laughs. "Nymph? Nymph!? Ha ha! Oh man, I am dreaming. Ha ha, oh, great. I see, ya, I was thinking about the campain and about that stupid letter and that creepy new teacher when I went to sleep and now it's all mixing together.
No, beautiful dreamy nymph woman, I am not involved with them. Fen just found that letter in my books." Dan sits up, not scared anymore. After all, he's been told for over seventeen years that nymphs and all that sort of thing aren't real. He has to be dreaming, and if it's a dream, he doesn't have to be afraid. "So the government hires nymphs? Amazing the stuff I dream up. I should make a D20 Modern campain with that! I'll have to write that down when I wake up."

I pick up something called a Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual. I see minitures in the room and even the costume which no doubt has magical properties.
"Ha, it looks like I hit the jackpot. Well, I am taking all of your magical books and ancient artifacts with me so they can be looked at! I am taking your Monster Manual too. Don't want you summoning anything bad. You socialist sorcerer, you!"
I take his D&D stuff, which I think is actually magic books and magical artifacts.
"That should do it. Now, you have been warned, socialist sorcerer...no more magic and no more socialist democracy for you. Or else...or else...I will come in the night and throw you in prison. We're watching you! Bwa ha ha ha ha!" I chuckle.
I throw the bag over my shoulder, and get ready to leave.

Dan is confused. "Sorcerer? No, I'm the Dungeon Master. And... why are you taking all of my stuff? I have a campain meeting tommorrow, I need my notes and...
Hey! Are you taking my costume? My mother made that for..." Dan pauses, "How can you lift all of that? That must be like two hundred pounds of stuff. Wow, you must have a strength score of like... 18! Your buff for a nymph."

"Dungeon Master? Oh, so a torturer. Well if you mouth off, I will show you who is master of our dungeons."
The bag is pretty heavy.
"I have all of your magical things. They will be examined by Red Infinity. Now, goodnight and be warned...we are on to you!"
I rush out the door with his things and hop in a taxi that is waiting for me. I take the taxi back to Helsinki so we can look at his stuff.

Dan sits in stunned silent. After a moment he lays down again and sighs, "Man, I hope I am dreaming. I mean, a nymph? Come on... and why would she want my stuff? Well, maybe she wants to learn. After all..." Dan yawns, "She didn't even know..." his eyes drift closed, "What a DM really was..." Dan drifts back to sleep.

I send all of this things to the Ministry of Information once I get back to the Ministry of Education.
This is really cool! I will watch that young rebel and make sure he doesn't spread the seed of socialist rebelion in the schools!
I am so awesome!

Dan's dreams are troubled. He tosses in his sleep, mumbling to himself. School, D&D, the new teacher, the nymph, all of it whirls in his head, with Fen in the middle the whole time. The night passes slowly, and Dan dreams eventually settle, letting the boy slip into a deeper sleep.

I read Fenitchka's report and see that Daniel meets with others various times a week to partake in magical ceremonies. The books and artifacts are related to these ceremonies. Obviously, the democratic socialists are training young people to use magic so that they can fight Red Infinity. Daniel is the local mastermind of this magic ring. I will make sure that Fenitchka spies on him and reports all of this treacherous anti government activity.

Upon awaking the next morning and finding his apartment bear, Daniel calls the police and reports it as a theft. He gives the information to the officer, who says they'll send someone around.
Then, picking up his school bag, Dan starts the walk to class, flipping open a notebook as he walks and starting a new campain from scratch. The other players were going to be pissed but they'd give over it. After all, this was a chance for a new beginning.
Hopefully the police found the stuff though. He could do without the books and his notes could be redone... but his DM outfit was one of a kind.

Pierre becomes worried when his email is never replied to. He paces around his bedroom and wonders why the anarchists don't like him. He thinks that this is something that always happens to him. He always manages to scare people away. They must see how insecure and annoying he is so they want nothing to do with him. He finally takes a seat on his bed and sends another email from his laptop.
You may not like me but this is very rude. Who do you think you are? Are you so high and mighty that you think you can reject me like garbage?

Korbinian Kautsky's crow reports the events that happened to Daniel. Kautsky is impressed that young Daniel knew so much about socialism. He absolutely will not give up on Daniel now. He is also impressed when the crow tells him that Dan is a young sorcerer and something called a dungeon master. He sends Daniel another letter which appears in his bag.
Bravo, young socialist sorcerer and "dungeon master" I am impressed with your political know how and simply must have you in my group now. With your magical talents, I am sure you can do much political good in this world. Even Red Infinity must think so, which is why they harrass you so.
Be certain to recruit your socialist friends at your "meeting" tonight. Tell them to keep working on their powers and that if ever I get out of Siberia I will visit all of you."
Sincerly,
Kautsky

Xavier walks up to Phillipe and puts his arm around his friend's shoulder.
"Phillipe, we are nearly defeated. This breaks my heart that La Resistance is in such disarray. But fear not friend, I will join with the democratic socialists and maybe they can help us."

Antero wakes up and begins to pace around the small room again. He starts to wonder when if ever he is going to be released from this place. He hates small spaces and being in one place for too long. He anxiously walks around.
"We need to get out of here. Maybe they are trying to kill us with boredom."
