Of Gravity and Grace

[Alister Watanabe]

Alister heads back into his apartment, and gathers his things, preparing to head to the Ministry of Terror. He had never been there before, thankfully, and was a little uncomfortable with the fact that he didn't have a plan. He can figure things out as he goes along.

He heads towards Moscow.

[Archetype 401]

Archetype 401 turns on Peter and leaps into the electronic pool, vanishing from sight. It immediately begins to grow narrower, like a door closing ominously.

The missiles that were shoved aside are locked on Peter, however, and they soon turn sharply back to hone in on their target. The bullets, however, just fall to the ground, or fly back towards Archetype 401, bouncing off the blue light at unpredictable angles.

[Krupskaya]

"I hope you like my apartment. Ministers get nicer apartments than normal people. Would you like some shrimp?"

I give some shrimp and thingytail sauce to Valkoinen and and Huey.

"I really love sea food. I don't know why, I just do."

I eat a few shrimp.

"After a hard day of work we should all jump into my jacuzzi. Doesn't that sound fun. It is big enough for all of us!"

[Joukahainen]

"No, it's nothing..." I say, somewhat vacantly. I finish my tea and order another.

"Would you care to walk around the Ministry for awhile? I feel a little restless..."

[Huey P. Newton]

Huey has the shrimp and then looks at Krupskaya.

"Unless you can magic me a baithing suit out of thin air, I don't think that's going to happen." Huey said, gesturing to his well kept Black Panther outfit. "Otherwise, I'd love to."

[Krupskaya]

"We don't HAVE to wear swimsuits... It's just find and more comfortable to be natural anyway. It is the nymph way of doing things."

[Iris Faust]

"Yeah I'll walk with you." Iris smiled and picked up the cat. It stirred and made a noise and Iris calmed the cat petting it.
She knew that something was on his mind but she just decided to forget about it. No sense in pressure.

[Huey P. Newton]

With that, Huey begins to get uncomfortable.

"Well, I guess I'm just more modist than that." Huey says, eating some more shrimp.

[Damascus]

Damascus sighed.
"The past, the most sensitive and private of any person's life. I'd be happy to tell you, in fact, I insist upon it. This might take some time to explain, and it would take days from start to finish, and I really would rather be more active. So, I'll keep this nice, short, but still informative."
He took a deep breath.
"Where to start though." He said to himself, then it came to him.
"My full name has upwards of 20 cilibles and can't be pronouced properly by anyone who doesn't know Old Draconic. I'm only a few thousand years younger than Dionysus, being only the second Chromatic dragon in existance. The first three, to my reakoning, are Dionysus, Mistress, and . . ." He thought for a handful of minutes, and then gave up. "I don't remember. But it was the gold, black, and some other Metal color first. Next came the Silver, that's the one over there who works for the Godless, he's my brother, technically. Only a day after that came the Reds, me to be specific, and then I think it was the Green.
"I'd like to point out the dragons here. The Gold and very honorable and noble beings, being the most liked of all of us. The stereotypical Metal is a goody-two-shoes. I have no idea what went wrong with Ol' Arty, but something must've been whacked up, because the rest of his kind are real Metals. Anyway, the bronze are mischievious, but their good at heart. Coppers generally like the shiny stuff and they spend alot of time underground. Silver are the most noble looking in dragon form, looking like goodness embodied. Golds are the strongest of any dragon, and the biggest."
He paused so as to give Set some time to think all this over. He got up and made a pot of tea, getting out two cups.
"This is all just the beginning, too. I've said maybe a sentence about myself. I ramble on sometimes. You must remember that when I explain something like my past, it takes eons of background, and then a few million years of background for that background."
He yawned.
"You ever heard of ents? Their even older then us, but they can't take human forms, and they tend to keep in their forests. I think they were Ukko's doing." He thought. "Or it oculd've been Tapio. He's always been one for the forest, being the God of the Forests and all."

[Valkoinen Joki]

I glance around, I could move around in my dragon formh here... I glance at krups. "... I think i'll pass on the seafood..."

[Sakari Lehtinen]

Sakari listens to what Antero has to say, and wonders what he could say that doesn't sound insensitive, or cold.

I decide that the best thing to do is to let him vent, and not say anything. He has just gone through a horrible ordeal, and the best I can do for him is let him be.

"I'm sorry, Antero... Would you like me to leave you for awhile..?" I ask, understanding full well the consequences of leaving a demon who was locked up at the rebel base to his own devices.

[Krupskaya]

"Oh, you boys are too boring, but okay, let's just have some shrimp. I will just have to find someone else to take a jacuzzi with."

[Huey P. Newton]

"Hey, like I said, if I wasn't gonna get my clothes wrecked I'd join you. If I could get ahold of a bathing suit I'd do it too... I just was never one for skinny dipping." Huey said, eating more shrimp.

[Valkoinen Joki]

I glance around, I could move around in my dragon formh here... I glance at krups. "... I think i'll pass on the seafood..."

[Krupskaya]

"I'll see what I have.."
I go to my bedroom and happen to find two speedos.

"Well hey guys, we're in luck. And if it makes you uncomfortable I can wear a suit too."
