Diseased Minds

[Sasha Kropotkin]

After Antero leaves the room, I quietly leave through the window. I instantly recognize that I am in Helsinki, it must have been the socialist's hideout.

Upon sliding my hands into my pockets, my mind is overflowing with thoughts. Simona, Lady Blue, the anarchists, the rebels. In retrospect, my life seems so trite and meaningless.

The black hole which formed when I met Antero has now grown to dangerous proportions. If I don't do something about it, it'll consume more than just myself. I have already stolen something from Lady Blue and Simona.

I fall to one knee. Simona... You idiot... What the hell were you doing hanging around us? You deserved so much better. Look what you've gotten yourself into.

"You idiot... I hope that in death you have proved me wrong..." I look up, and notice that I have found my way to my weapons shop. I grab a handgun off of a shelf. It's a silver plated revolver that I somehow got as a hand-me-down, traded in by someone. Just one round in it. The barrel has 'from my cold dead fingers' written on it, in fancy cyrillic handwriting. I smile, and leave the shop.

I make my way to the ocean, less than a mile away from my shop, and make it there in less than an hour. I climb up to a cliff that Antero and I used to sneak off to and throw grenades into the water before we met Simona. I sit on the edge, my feet dangle above the water.

I close my eyes, calmly pull the revolver to my temple, and squeeze the trigger. My body falls limply into the harsh, unforgiving rocks and water below, as my senses go numb, and my vision fades out.

Black.

[Antero Black]

Antero drinks his water.
"Sasha, make me cookie pie. Sasha?"

[Lolita]

I watch as the faerie goes. Antero is awake and since I am new, I don't want to risk fighting him.

"I have to go. Next time we'll get you."

I spread my black butterfly wings and fly out the window.

[Sasha Kropotkin]

Please don't be upset, it had to be this way. You know where the keys to the shop are. I won't be coming back.

Take care of yourself. Tell them I'm sorry. Simona, Lady Blue, I'm so sorry... It's all m- Is what is hurriedly written on the note in Antero's pocket.

[Antero Black]

Antero feels a piece of paper in his pocket. He pulls it out and reads it to himself.
"Sasha?"
And for the first time in many years, there is no one to take care of him.

[Riku]

I smile slightly as I finish putting the seeds into the ground before glancing towards her. ... I see,... very well. I have to agree... there is only so much you can do for a farm before you have to let nature take over...

I sigh and look around, I didnt mind this. It was actually pleasant to take a break from my real life, but I shouldnt take a break... ... why cant we be friends?... I am friends with some red infinity operatives... I even consider violet one... though Im not really sure what she consider's me... I think that thing with her daughter kind of made her a little mad at me..., I smirk that was putting it mildly, she practactly through me htrough a stone wall... but oh well, she still let me stay even after that so she shouldnt be so mad about that now




Zack
I blink as I glance over at the minister, I raise my eyebrow and stand up. I shake my head not even sure why I was back here. I walk over behind her nad start giving her a massage. "you know... that whole D&D thing is actually a tabletop rpg... a game from about five hundred years ago... though, it looks like its popularity only grew with age,...."


Oni kokoro
I fly back to helsinki and land near bassarov's apartment, I glance around... I knew I sensed her here some where, the only problem was, if I got to close I lost track of her energy... "nihato.... will I ever find you again?...".

I sigh, the last time I saw her was when hse was fighting louhiw ith a few other's and she seemed to have missed me standing a few feet behind her.... perhaps she wont remember me

[Olga]

Roland is doing such a good job, that Olga sends a message to Beijing that he should be promoted to second in command of the Anti Sex Scouts. Olga isn't impressed by much, but Roland is one of the hardest working operatives at A.S.S.
She waddles down to the ASS cafeteria and eats green bean hotdish while thinking of the future of ASS.

[Dante "the Vulture"]

Walking back into the metro after following the strange woman and that girl who had come into the base, Dante sighed. He seemed to be following people alot lately, it was becoming a habit. But the girl had asked about someone named Zinn, and before he could volunteer his aid, that weird woman had shown up. Whatever, it was none of his buisness.
He looked around, and saw Raine sitting down in the metro's lobby, hands behind her hand, looking bored. He decided to have some fun, being so bored. He felt like being childish right then.
He stuck to the shadows and snuck behind her seat, silent, like a jungle cat stalking prey. He got up to a half standing positon, and reached his hands out, covering her eyes, he said, "Guess who?"
((A post to Raine))

[NiHato/Red Dove]

NiHato opens her eyes. She must've fallen asleep. She quickly jumps from the building and walk past the people on the street who take no notice of her. She decides to go find Oni, was his name? She had left rather rudely after fighting with Gurth.

She arrives at the rebel base, and is lucky enough to find him easily. "Hello human who is a shell for my cousin." She says, not trying to sound rude, but it does. her sad expression is still on her face, even through she smiles lightly.

((Post to Oni.))

[Varsha]

Varsha walked into the lobby of the new rebel base, she had never been there before that she could remember of. She knew this was the rebel base through since she'd heard it was. She walks into the lobby, looking around. "Excuse me, anyone know where I may find the anarchists or Zinn?" She calls out, hopefully.

[Kurjuus]

Kurjuus waits in the farm house but he starts to worry about Peter, Hope, and Calithin.

"I have poisoned the food supply, that should be enough...too kill little Lena."

He leaves the bedroom and sneaks out the door. He is careful to fly as secretively as he can, away.

[Kith]

"It was a mistake to come here, forgive me, Lin-Sat."

I back away from his desk and decide that if he lets me leave I will just disappear from this world forever.

"I have many ties to Red Infinity. As I said, my father is Keitoleinen and I was told that Riku is a child of mine."

++++++++++

[Hoshi]

"Riku, you don't understand. You are a rebel and I am Red Infinity. If I stay with you too long it just will be bad. I will just like you more than I do and it will get in the way of my job here. I won't have my loyalty tested. So, today I will ask Violet for a new job And then, I will say goodbye to you. It is for the best."

[Fenitchka]

I wake up and go to the living room of the apartment. Something seems different and everyone seems upset. I should go back to my town. Teacher won't be back for a while I think.
"Che, is something wrong around here?" I tap him on the shoulder to ask.

[Runic Shimmerskin]

Runic jerks awake. He's leaning against the door to the room where they left Antero and Sasha. Zero had asked him to guard them and he'd gone and fallen asleep. He stands up and rubs his eyes. "d**n it all." Blinking a few times to make sure he's fully awake Runic opens the door to the room and steps inside. Their awake... d**n it. "Antero," Runic closes the door, looking around the room, "... where is Sasha?"
