"Come on, we'll set you up in one of the centeral rooms." Peter takes her hand and leads her to one of the rooms. The place is plain, just a bed, a chair and a plant on a stand. "It's not much but you can decorate it as you like. Say," Peter turns and looks at Lena, still holding her hand, "You don't have any spare clothes or anything do you? We have to get you some stuff. Cus, as much as I love that dress, it's not normal clothing around here."

"I'll look foreward to it... When you've faced your punishment I might just have to arrange to 'lose' some better transmitting gear, for your sake." I say as we approach the former factory site. Already a new factory is going up in the shadow of the old one, on the old site pleminiary work for the memorial is beginning, and I see my father...

Despair waits patiently at the Ministry of Information. He does not expect to see Iris today, but hears that she has not been too well since she arrived. He contacts Erika while he sits in a waiting area.
"Erika, I am at the Ministry of Information. Can you meet me here? I think we should talk."

Freak Boy laughs at Lady Blue's comment. Oh god... Bassarov would have a fit if he saw him mingling with Capitalists.

"Hello my little sweet potato, how are you today? I see you have our friend Freakboy with you. Well, the memorial is almost done, but if he wants to help out he can help me with the clean up..."
Carter gestures towards two large dumpsters to be used for the cleanup of the memorial construction mess.

"Believe me, Mr. O'Neil, if I could help I would... but-" Freak Boy held up his bloody and bandaged hands, "Ahriman shot a bullet through each of my hands, shattering my bones and nerves. I don't have any control over my fingers and won't for some time."

"Now that's just too bad. Mean old Red Infinity people, always shooting people up. Well, I sure am glad to see that you are okay. I can do this work myself. There isn't much left..."
Carter begins the process of clean up.

Certainly, mein liebe. I teleport to his location. I too have been broken up over Iris' abduction, but I don't know what to say or do at this point. I walk up to Despair, once again wearing an immaculate Red Infinity uniform. "I take it this is about Iris?"
(OOC I am in the middle of setting up a large aquarium, so there will likely be some delays between posts)

"Dad, you don't have to do that." I say. "We pay the workers plenty for their jobs, shouldn't we let them do it? Anyways Freak Boy and I have reached a comprimise... We decided to settle on a milder punishment, really just a token for the families involved... It'll be a private event too."

"There is not much we can do for Iris now. We need to comfort and reassure her. Maybe we made things worse by trying to give her freedom, since now she knows what it is, and does not wish for this fate Red Infinity dealt her."

Freak Boy sighed and nodded.
"Yes... because I can't help with the memorial - or anything while I'm in the state I'm in - we've reached a decision on my... punishment..."

"Yeah, I've thought about it before. Guess I never got around to mentioning it. I don't like how I stand out in crowds.. I don't really like to draw attention at all." Lena says, looking around the room before back at Peter. "I normally like black clothing, but I'll wear whatever, as long as I don't stand out as much as I do with this dress."

"Punishment? What kind of punishment will transpire? And pumpkin, manual labor is a good thing. No use being all upity. I always say that I should never make a man do what I won't do. Working with them shows that we care..." Carter replies. He takes a break from the work, since he has been at it all day and because he wants to devote his attention to Freakboy and Charlotte.

"I had to try... I couldn't live with myself if I didn't do at least that. She's so young and innocent, how is it fair that she and not me is the designated operator of Little Sister? Because of Zwei I killed millions. I've done terrible things, why am I not the one being punished by slavery?"

"Well... there's really no way to put this without being blunt. Here it is; Apparently, I am to be flogged." Freak Boy says with an anime sweat-bead.
