The Spiritual Squelching

["Zero" Americanski]

I stir slightly in my sleep as I begin to come out of my coma. My dreams become less disjointed, though they don't make much more sense. I dream of the revolution, even though I was never there, and somehow Kolov was involved too... And something about a crystal and a demon who became Bassarov... But since when have dreams made sense? I simply curl up in my sleep in response.

[Xavier Jaures]

Xavier determines that he would like to check up on the democratic socialist movement. Although he promised Daniel that he would not visit him, he decides that since so many socialists are rumored to be staying at his place, it might not be a bad idea to travel there himself.

Xavier takes a flight to Helsinki from Paris, then boards a train for the short journey to the town where Daniel lives. He arrives at Daniel's house and enters without even knocking.

"Hello Danny boy, just thought I would hang out for a while..."

[Danuel Stinin]

"She went out with Giselle. She needed to have a talk with her friend I guess, she had to talk about girl stuff I guess. Meetings? Your kidding right? The government has already been in my place twice. This apartment is not a secure place to have meetings of any sort. I'm going to have to find a new place to play D&D too."

[Xavier Jaures]

"Meeting, did you say meeting? Yeah, let's have a meeting tonight. We need to get the socialist movement up and rolling... I should invite Phillipe!"

Xavier calls Phillipe and invites him to sit in on the democratic socialist meeting in Finland.

[Antero Black]

Antero wakes up in even more pain than he was the night before. His small body has lost weight and has soaked the sheets with sweat.
"Zinn, Zinn...help me...it's killing me, they're killing me...doesn't anyone care! Help me!!"
Antero calls out to the other room. He will carry on for about an hour before passing out again.

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

I open my eyes as Despair talks to me. "Guten morgen Deespar, mein liebe. Das herr..." I realize that I am speaking German again, and I pause for my translator to kick in. "The man Joukahainen does seem to be trustworthy from what I've heard. Maybe we should go visit Iris once I am ready..."

[Archetype 401]

The barrels of the Juggernauts Machine Gun Array are now spinning quickly, moving in a large, fluid circle as the device hangs from his arm, which is leveled at the side of the small farm house. His sensors sweep the house once more, and then the Android opens fire, sensing no allies within.

There is a sharp click! and the first wave of bullets pour from the five barrels with rapid succession. A hailstorm of lead and steel that quickly penetrates the wall of the building, creating thousands of small bullet holes in the side of the house.

Archetype 401 slows his pace and begins a perimeter of the house, spraying the house with deadly rounds as he makes a slow circle around the house, careful to spread the bullets in a broad area so that there is a lesser chance of missing.

((I haven’t circled the house just yet, only starting to, so half of the first of the four walls of the house is laden with bullet holes.))

[Kaschei]

Kaschei watches Archetype in his crystal ball as he sits in his office at the Ministry of Terror. He is interested in seeing how the android fares in his fight against Peter the Owl. This will be a good test of the android's strength.

[Iris Faust]

Her eyes light up at the strange creature, it was adorable.
"Meekers? I love it," she takes the small kitten from Youki and holds it.
The kitten seems to take an instant liking to Iris as it starts purring and rubs against her. She smiles and plays with the kitten.

[Carter O'Neil]

Carter ducks for cover when suddenly the farmhouse in Lapland is attacked! He looks around at the other Eternal Light members, but the dust, chaos, and bullets make the others hard to find.

"What in blue blazes is going on here? Who would be attacking us now?" He asks them as he cowers under a table.

[Peter "The Owl"]

((I'm not in the farmhouse. I'm at the cloths store in town with Lena and Jade.))

[Despair]

"Yes, that is a good idea. I worry about her, but the people here report that she is taking better to things. Maybe this was not as much of a mistake as we thought. Maybe there is hope for her."

[Archetype 401]

((Erp! Archetype 401 hasn’t actually encountered Peter the Owl yet. He is currently destroying the house that Carter entered not long ago, but is in search of Peter. Killing a few rebellious types on the way to Mr. Owls house can’t be that bad, right?))

The Android continues to pour bullets into the house. A fine trail of smoke can be seen raising from the tips of his barrels as the guns spin in a rapid motion, cooling the barrels, and at the same time, putting a spin on the bullets, allowing them to do more damage to whatever they may hit.

A few cries of pain can be heard within the building and the wall on one side sags as if it is about to fall over, there are so many bullet holes in it.

The MGA quickly turns the first wall into a weak and reckless form that may very well resemble Swiss cheese, and continues on the other. A plate of armor on his chest slides to the side, revealing a small missile which slides into place, preparing to fire.

[Joukahainen]

I smile as I see Meekers affection towards Iris. "Good to hear. Her food, water, and litter will be brought up shortly. I have a few other things to attend to, so I must be going, but you have you know how to get in contact with me."

((Sorry to just post and run, but I gotta get going again. I'll be on in 2 to 2 and 1/2 hours. Have a good evening.))

[Carter O'Neil]

Carter gets the Eternal Light members out of the house just before it collapses. He rolls up his sleaves and starts looking for the assailant.

"Come on out now, you hear? Why can't we just talk things over like civil gentlemen? There is no need to be fighting and destroying. Why, we all here are pacifists." He says in his southern accent.
