I turn to Sakari, not sure how to behave. I stick my hands in my pockets and enter the apartment.
"Hello Antero, you're looking a little demonic. Care to explain?"
I wait for Sakari to see how he reacts to this.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Simona. I look and feel just fine." Antero sits down next to Nova and leans his head on the back of the couch.

As of late things have been very busy for me. With so many ministries relocation, various programs being adopted and abandoned, industries internalized and so on I simply haven't had time to myself. I decide that as soon as she gets back from her self-assumed mission I want to see Hera, it's been too long since the last time.

I tense up slightly but let it slide as I turn and go down the hall to where I smelled the coffee, I pour her a cup and walk back to her office, I set it on her desk and I glance around agian
"What exactly do you do?"

"Simona is dead. Sasha might be dead too. So just snap out of this and face reality. I don't know you, but you're getting on my nerves."
I get off the couch since I don't want to sit by him. He's a total creep.

"I really don't do too much. I watch the schools to make sure there is no rebelion in them, I look over books and textbooks to make sure they don't have rebelious ideas, hmm, I make sure that everyone is going to school who can. That sort of stuff." I say to Valkoinen.
"Mm...this coffee is good. Thanks, Valk."

((Sorry, I've had some computer problems))
We approach the cafe, which is open 24 hours. Iris and myself are the only two people there.
"Thank you, I enjoy talking with you too, Iris. Sadly, paperwork is a huge part of my job. If I could get out of it, I would." I say, in a consoling tone. I order a tea for the both of us, and begin to realize how little of the world I have seen either. I haven't really been much anywhere outside of Lapland, and have never even been outside of Finland.
"Getting out is good for the both of us, I'm glad that I can help you." I say, smiling.
I sip my tea.

I keep myself from glaring at her. "..., im that useless huh... to protect some who probably has no chance of being attacked, even though there is a heavy concentration of rebels in tow...".
I shake my head and lean agianst the wall.

"They aren't dead. I don't want them to be dead. So I say, they are alive. They are all that I have. They are my only friends. They aren't dead."

"I could get attacked. Like you said, there are lots of rebels around here. I might need you around. It is always nice to have a dragon at your Ministry. You never know what could happen."

Sakari turns his head and glares at Nova, and subtly jabs her in the side in a "shut the hell up" sort of way.
"Okay, Antero. Where are Sasha and Simona? Are they out getting groceries?" I ask with my poker face.

Zinn curls her lip in disgust.
"I have a right to be paranoid! I spent three years in a Red Infinity prison, getting tortured. She's a bloody informant. Corr, you're dense. Besides, I'm suprised she hasn't figured it out yet, 'Che Guevera'," Zinn sneers.

Huey was in a good mood. The Mobile Suit project was coming along just fine. He then remembered he chased the Minister of Education out of Bassarov's appartment to do investigating of his own... that might put them on bad terms.
Huey decides to make amends with the Minister. He buys some donuts and takes a teleportation booth to Helsinki. He walks into the Ministry of Education and finds Krupskuya.
"Hey, Ms. Krupskuya." He says in a pleasent tone. "I brought donuts."

"Ouch, what the hell was that for?" I jab Sakari back.
"You're just like a little kid, Antero. You really need to grow up and face life. Life sucks. People die. People die every day and people a lot better and nicer than you suffer because of it. They aren't coming back. And Sasha probably killed himself because you drove him insane."

Post by Damascus on Jan 20, 2005 21:56:00 GMT -5
Damascus leaned back in his chair.
"I mean, really, what have I got to look forward to in life? The same old thing isn't going to be enough anymore. I'm dis-satisfied with my life right now. I lack a sense of being that I once had cemented." He sighed, staring at the ceiling, beyond the ceiling. "I can't sleep well anymore, it takes me hours, and then the dreams are of cold, dark, death . . ." He trailed off, then shivered.
"I need to find something to do, something dependable and easy to start out with. Nothing repeatitive, mind, just something to fill my empty hours of thought."
He laced his fingers and put them over his eyes, like the lights were to bright for him, which wasn't the case at all. "Y'know that old, 'the glass is half empty/ half full' thing? I feel like a glass half empty. Hell, I feel like an empty glass altogether."
He conntacted Lady Violet. -Lady Violet, Set's back, so there's someone to watch your daughter now. Can I please have something to do? Are there any Ministries that I could be assigned to? A job that's appropriate for a person like me?- He asked, desperassion barely touching his voice-thought.
((A post regarding Set, and a question to Lady Violet))
