"Well, we'd better get going then. We can drive into town and pick you up some new cloths so you'll fit in better. I need to get somethings anyway. The pantry needs to be restocked, especially if more people will be coming here. And some blankets... alot of stuff." Peter nods and straightens his coat. "Well, I'll have to get going. Do you want to come along? I could probably find things in your size without you but you'd be able pick what you really liked if you came along."

"Flogged, isn't that a little old fashioned?"

"Dad, I grew up inside a steam engine, I know about the virtue of labor..." I state, feeling somewhat patronized. "Sorry dad, I won't mouth off again... This is why I need your help, because I'm not good with people."
About Freak Boy's punishment I say "I figured it'd get the point across without doing much perminant damage. I'd planned to strap him into the electric chair or hang him from the yard arm, so I think it's a good comprimise personally."

"It may not be so bad. We can see her, and Mitya can see her. I will try to be positive about this, for it only makes it worse for her if she sees that we are upset."

"Sure, I need to get used to riding in a car, anyway. Since it's the most common form of travel, besides teleport." Lena says, a bit doubtfully.
(Real sorry, but I have to go. Goodnight.)

"I know you do, corn muffin, sometimes I just say things because I like to hear the sound of my own voice." Carter shrugs and wipes dirt from his face. "You work harder than I ever did."

Freak Boy looks to them with nostalgia... he can't help but feel jealous that while his parents died when he was rather young, Lady Blue still has a loving father... the two of them had such a good relationship, where Freak Boy can't remember the relationship he had with his parents - if there was one to be had at all.

"I will try too, but I'm just human. I don't know if I can." I sigh, and look at him. "I guess you were right to worry after all, Zwei did get out for a few minutes..."

"Maybe in the end, having Iris do this rather than you is in the best interest of everyone in the world. We have to be supportive of her. I know that she is doing what you should have been doing, but, since we are powerless to stop this, the best we can do is make it less hard for her."

"Yes, I suppose so. Besides, we can't portal into town. I would cause questions. Well, let's go then."
Thirty minutes later Peter and Lena are a car, parking in the small town to the south of the farm. Small, but it had everything they'd need. Their first stop is for cloths.
"Alright Lena, I'm going to the men's department to get my new cloths. You hang out here in the woman's department and see if there's any clothes you'd like. You can try some on when I come back."
Peter smiles, nods, and heads off to find his own new stuff.
((Goodnight.))

"I guess." I sigh. I walk up to him and hug hinm tightly, once again seeking comfort rather than love.

I grin a little. "You always did do that before you were sentured. Just why did Old Man Kolov send you away anyways?" I ask.

Despair puts his arms around her and kisses the top of her head. "It will be okay Erika, things will turn out, we must make the best of the sitaution dealt to us. But in the end it will all be okay..."

"Let's not talk about him. Men who strive for war, power and violence always want to squelch the voices of peace. Let's just leave it at that."
Carter claps his hands together as a signal he wants to change the subject.
"Did you two notice those two new Red Infinity buildings in town. There goes the neighborhood, as they say."

"They did it in Helsinki too... the Ministry of Education is walking distance from where I was staying before moving to Argentina - well, thanks to Julia I'm moving back in... God how I hate that woman." Freak Boy said with a low growl.
"So... when are we doing the flogging?"
