Liberty and Oppression

[Elijah Debs]

Elijah finds the behaviors of his friend to be unusual, but he has faith in Andrew.

"I will send a message to get another rebel here. I am not sure if Tensuo is mortal or not. Most of those here are not strictly mortal, except maybe Soren and Toivo."

Elijah sends a telepathic message to anyone at the rebel base that they should show up to the fight.

(A rebel who needs something to do, should show up to fight Satsujin. )

(I'm back)

"Well I haven't been a leader that long, I have had to deal with a lot of situations and at least I have a grasp of politics now. IT doesn't interest me that much but it does help me to understand my friends and compatriots." I say. I take a long drag on my cigarette and exhale through my nose, enjoying the taste and smell of the smoke greatly. In fact as far as I'm concerned the only good thing to come from the fall of the neo FRA is that American tobacco is available at 'state' prices again.

[Akka]

Akka's eyes narrow and her eyes tear up. She sniffles once, twice and wipes her eyes. She tries to keep her tone cheery but emotion breaks through I understand you, husband. I have never seen you as indifferent. And yes, I do get lonely...But... do you honestly feel nothing for me? No compassion, regret, hatred...anything?

[Ruth]

"The news?"
Ruth repeated.

"I guess I don't have much news. I just wanted to introduce myself."

She paused for a moment, not wanting to be too forward, but still wanting to ask...

"I... I was wondering if you were a Christian?"

Of course, if he wasn't a Christian, she would have to skeedaddle, and fast. She shouldn't be speaking things like this out in the open, and if her "feelings" were wrong and he was some government agent... she was in trouble.

[Garret thingysure]

"Let's just lay together and talk. I love to talk. I just want to understand things. I want to understand you...and myself..." Garret lays down with her and pulls the covers over them. He touches her arm. He likes to talk about things with her. It builds closeness between them.

[Damascus]

"About me? This is all about me, its just about me ina very general way. I am a key piece of dragon history after all.
"Mahgjnil, Gyorthops, and I fought Tiamat-Louhi after everyone else was dead. By this time, I had ripped two of her heads off, the Gold and Red ones, because the fire didn't do anything against me. I had taken alot of acid to the face from the Black head, which Gyorthops had wounded serverly by this time. Tiamat-Louhi and us, we fought to a stand still, we ran, she ran.
"After that, the war ended, with both sides agreeing to a cease fire. After that . . ." He hung his head, and then shook his head. "I can't remember anything in more detail. I lived on the planet that Jumala Mysthalya made for us for a very long time.
"I came back in the Three Kingdoms era of China, fought for Shu, then Wu. I moved to Japan later, during the Tokugawa Shogunate, and stayed until the Meiji era. I moved from Japan to America, and I went to sleep in the Cascade Mountains for awhile. When I came to, there had been a revolution, and here was young Red Infinity.
"So, after that, I sided with Red Infinity and did whatever they told me to, which was very little at the time. I went too Helsinki after Dionysus went nuts, and then you know the rest." He said, remembering his first meeting with Violet and Set.
"And, after we had that fight, you can fill in the holes with my profile, its at the International HQ with all of the other ones."
He stood up, stretching. "Does Hikari always sleep for this long? Even I keep dormant this long without a good reason."

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea cuddles into Garret's warm body, even though she wouldn't admit it she was a little cold.
"So you want to understand me? I'm fairly simple but simpleness also has complexness." She traced a heart on his chest. "But to understand yourself I do not know how to help you."

[Ukko]

Ukko pauses for a moment.
"There are many things that I don't know and understand, Akka. I invited you here to understand them. My life, my existance, it is all going to end soon. I want to make sure that before I go, I understood. Come with me to my home in Kippumaki and we can discuss things in private. I am sorry I can not give you a direct answer. There is too much that I don't know or have not explored within myself."

[Garret thingysure]

"I person can never really understand everything about themself or any one else. There is so much that goes on inside. So much history behind you, so many thoughts and emotions inside you, and so many aspirations and hopes before you."

He tucks her golden hair behind her ear and kisses her again.

"I guess I feel a little more thoughtful today. But it is good to be with you like this."

[Sephos]

"What things do interest you? What do you enjoy spending your time doing?"

[Akka]

She hesitates then nods. I understand.

["Zero" Americanski]

"I draw and can write calligraphy, and I like classical music. I really like spending time with Valodya, but I can't always do that."

[Gunnar]

"Hmm..," Pending over, Gunnar pulled out his key and drew a quick figure on the ground. It was the fish used by Christians back in the day when they were killed for their practices. As he stood back up he folded his arms, secretly unding the clasp on his side arm just in case she understood the fishes meaning and wasn't a Christian herself.

(i gotta go, i'll be back later hopefully)

[Ukko]

Ukko teleports Akka to Kipumaki. This is his sacred home and a place that only he and a select group of his allies, have ever entered.
"This is my home, Akka, you have been here before, but welcome back. Let's go inside and talk."
He leads her into the white, mosque like castle that is his home. He takes her to a private room and the two immortals sit.
"Tell me, if you could change something about how I treat you, how would you like me to change? What would make you happier?"

[Linnea Korpela]

"But you can try to come close," Linnea sighs with content. "Its good to be thoughtful. Society doesn't show enough of that."
