The Spiritual Squelching

[Joukahainen]

((Sorry I missed your post. I didn't see that you posted so quickly.))

"You will be connected to the little sister machine, and operate it directly. Because of your personal connection to the machine, the complexity of the human mind, and a few safeguards Red Infinity has integrated into it, it will be impossible to be hacked into or attacked directly, so there's no threat to you."

I stretch my back in my chair, then relax again, crossing my hands.

"This probably sounds very complex and confusing, but you will know what to do when the time comes, don't worry."

[Iris Faust]

Iris' smile faded after hearing him say that.
"You know my name but I do not know yours."

[Dariya Pisarev]

I look at the god named Satsujin. I have never met a god before, and even seeing him now, I do not believe in him. He looks like anyone else, maybe a little stranger, but nothing to fear and worship.

People are so foolish, so ready to worship and follow anything that can elevate them above their crummy existance. I laugh at faith since it comes so easily. It is cowardly to just fall into the snares of lies set forth by society.

True heroism is standing against the urge to cling to the false security of a hope giving lie.

"Is this over yet, I want to go shopping.."

[Joukahainen]

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry how inconsiderate of me... My name is Joukahainen. You can call me Youki if you like." I respond casually. It's usually not so hard for me to come up with conversation, but I seem to be struggling with it right now.

"Are you certain that there's nothing I can get for you, maybe some tea perhaps?"

[Iris Faust]

"No I'm fine," she folded her hands on her lap. "So your not like the other people I see..." she paused for a minute. "I apologize for my rudeness. Forget I said that."

[Sayuka]

(Friendships/relationships between rebel and Red Infinity members can add tension or drama to the rpg if done properly. I am not against Sayuka and Valkoinen's strange friendship, I am just against the fact that you refuse to follow along with the overall goals of the rpg that people should be living in fear. What is the point of them being friends if there is no tension or drama related to that? You can do whatever you like John, but you would do well to be more reflective on what you can do to enhance the quality of the story.)

I am beaten and tortured. I pass out in the dim cell...

[Joukahainen]

I raise an eyebrow. The other people?

"I apologize if you've had bad run ins with Red Infinity operatives, they try their hardest to do things that will progress humanity, and have everybody's needs met. Their tactics can be a little, ah, brutal, however they do what needs to be done. This is a harsh world, and sometimes harsh measures are required to protect that which is truly important." I reply, doing my best to defend Red Infinity and not sound as though I'm a part of them.

I need her to trust me, and the more I talk to her, the worse I feel for her situation.

I tell her that I understand, but I really don't...

[Iris Faust]

"I have come to learn about the behaviors of people. Some actions I don't understand, but then agaiin in some cases I do not wish to understand them either." she paused a minute and smiled. "But I guess what I meant about you being different from other people is because of your appearance."

[Toivo Koivisto]

"Okay everyone, I'll try out the spells..."

I start to chant the spells that will activate the kampa. I say the spells but nothing happens.

"I guess I can try that again..."

I scratch my head and recite the spells once more. Still, the kampa remains a powerless comb in the hands of Tensuo.

"Maybe something is wrong with the spells!"

[Swan of Tounela]

"The spell won't work? Oh no!"
I look on in horror. We have everything. We have the kampa, the proper person to wield it, and the spells to activate it. Why this?

[Joukahainen]

I smile, and let out a little laugh. I got defensive when I didn't have to.

"Ah, well..." I say, scratching my head, somewhat nervously. "Yes, I am a Taivalan... I too have been, ah, resurrected, or created, to serve Red Infinity." I reply.

"But I have some paper work to do. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call. You can either push this button here-" I hand her a device with a button on it. "or simply walk to my office. You may walk around this Ministry all you like."

I smile, and head out the door.

((Sorry for the abrupt exit, but I have to get going. Have a good evening))

[Soren]

Soren turns and watches Toivo recite the spell and then the failure of the spell to activate the kampa.
"I should have expected this. Nothing ever works out. I guess this world is doomed."
Soren shrugs and steps back behind the Green Party.
"I am learning all kinds of things today. I put faith in the Green Party and in the stupid ancient magic of the kampa and the spells. I guess this is one nice lesson that you can't count on anything."
He starts laughing while the others struggle to figure out what went wrong.

[Iris Faust]

((its ok))

Iris listens to him as he speaks.
'Another creation' she thinks to herself.
Youki gets up to leave.
"OK," she nods.
Thinking about walking around the Ministry, she looks around the room. Another is better then this.

[Roxanne]

Roxanne smiled when Giselle arrived she has been wanting to talk to her. "Hey Giselle we were just about to go find you. I need to talk to you lets go over there." She said pointing to some trees not to far away.

Roxanne looked at Dan he seemed to be deep in conversation with Fen. She didn't want to interrupt but she wanted Dan to know where she was. "Dan, Giselle and I are going to go outside and talk. We'll be back in a few." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

She walked over to the trees with Giselle.

[Giselle]

Giselle follows Roxanne silently. When they reach the trees, she smiles slightly. "I take it you want to talk about something doing with us being vampires?"
