Of Gravity and Grace

[Iris Faust]

Iris was upset.
"You want to know why I'm different? Because I am a tool! I..."
She started to cry, she didn't know what to do or say.
Putting her face in her hands she shook her head.

[Freak Boy]

It was clear to Freak Boy that this visit was not going well, to say the least.

"Iris..." he said. He stood up and tried to comfort her, but only ended up going through her. He sighed, tears forming in his own eyes. "Don't cry, Iris... look, you're not a tool. If anything, Red Infinity is the one depending on you, not the other way around. Without you, Red Infinity's Little Sister Project is jack squat.

"You're strong, Iris... stronger than you'll ever know." Freak Boy said, looking into her face with big sad eyes...

[Blacksmith]

My uzi in its holster beneath my vest, I scan the parking lot. d**n. They've surrounded my car. I didn't have any time to plant explosives, but I don't leave important documents in there anyways. I turn and walk out.

[Iris Faust]

"I...FreakBoy..." she sighed as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "I couldn't stand it if something happened to you, but please don't do it cause of me."
She picked up the kitten.
"FreakBoy...I'm sorry." she looked up at him the tears coming back. "Please don't cry..."

(sry for my nutsty post but i gotta go)

[Tensuo]

Tensuo groans as he lifts a large slab of the stone building off of him, throwing it to the side where it crumbles. He stands up, now covered in dirt and dust, but still holding the Kampa and his sword.

"Somebody better get this d**n thing to work soon! I am not invincible!"

[Kelthassil]

I extend my sword, holding it parallel to the ground in front of Tensuo's chest.

"Don't fight him now," I say. "Until they activate the kampa, leave him to me."

[Freak Boy]

Freak Boy was on the verge of a breakdown. He choked back his tears and fell to Iris' side, supporting himself by his hands and knees. He sniffled and continued choking back tears.

"I'm sorry... but I don't know what else to do!"

Meanwhile, Freak Boy's body was still sound asleep on Valodya's couch, sprawled out with a leg over the back and one foot drooping off the couch. One arm lay on his chest and the other on the floor, and he snored very loudly.

[Jace]

"I was infected when i was 21 but that is a tell i dont wish to discuss please i have had a bad life. May we stop and rest and we can build a small fire?"

[Iltanesh]

"Of course, forgive my prying," I say as flames whirl around my hand. I gesture towards the ground and the flames leap to the ground, creating a small fire that stays dociley where I will it.

[Andrew Kasher]

((I am moving Elijah and Andrew to wherever the fight against Satsujin is going on))

Andrew arrives with Elijah. He feels terribly nauseous, and wonders briefly if they make pills for teleportation sickness.

He stands up straight.

"Um... Hi everyone," he says nervously.

[Jace]

"Ahhh that looks so cute. And it is warm too. So i bet you are tired a lil after that very intense run." I walk behind him and start to rub his shoulders.

[Iltanesh]

I chuckle to myself.

"Not so much, really, I generally do not tire easily."

[Usha]

"We should go back to the rebels now, Brady. This picnic was fun, but it is time to go I think. You never know if we might be needed. I heard there was some big fight with a god and maybe we could help with that."

[Fenitchka]

I bake the oatmeal cookies and take them to the Ministry of Information. I am glad to be able to help out in some small way. I also drop off some reports on rural rebelion while I am there.

I go to Iris' room and see that she is crying.

"Um...hello, my name is Fenitchka. I heard you were lonely so I made you some cookies. They're oatmeal so I hope you like them."

[Jace]

"Ah so do you mind what i am doing?" iI pause for a moment till he answers.
