Liberty and Oppression

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter moves closer to Lena, but doesn't say anything just yet, or make any move besides the few steps.

[Lana]

Lana snatched her arm back. "And you! I just don't like you! You stay away from my sister! She doesn't need you!" Lana screamed. Lana was so readable. She was furious at Peter. Peter was taking her sister from her. Lana wanted them to do something else not this stupid lapland crap. Lana was about ready to go off. And she knew that Lena wouldn't follow because unlike Lena, Lana had control on her powers. Lana simply turned away. "If you want to be with Peter fine! I don't need you anymore. You and your stupid love puppy!" Lana snapped.

[Lena]

Lena stays still, not moving at all. She finally lowers her hand, which had been on Lana's arm a few moments ago. She looks at the ground. "Lana.. Lana I'm sorry. I know you must be turning to someone to be angered at over the loss of our home, and that someone is me. Being angry at me won't make the loss of our home any better through."

[Gunnar]

Gunnar smiled, easing his hand off the rough metal grip, "I am glad to have met you too, it's been a long time sense I’ve seen another follower of Christ in these days of decadence." Looking over his shoulder he glanced around for anyone suspicious, or anyone who might have thought they might look suspicious, "There's a place not far from here, a small coffee shop, and I was wondering if you would accompany me there?" He wasn't necessarily in for coffee at the moment, but he wanted to get off the street.

[Peter "The Owl"]

Well, this was only getting worse. Peter licks his lips uncomfortably, unsure how he should respond, or if he should respond at all. He'd best just let them settle this for now.

[Lana]

Lana folded her arms and after sighing she felt tears in her eyes. "It wasn't fair."

[Krupskaya]

"I'm not like the other nymphs you have met? How so? What are the other nymphs like?" I ask Valkoinen. I am almost done reading another text book.

[Sayuka]

I wake up in a street in Moscow. My clothes are torn and my body is sore. I maintain only the slightest memories of what happened. I was betrayed once again. I stumble into a teleportation booth and teleport myself to Helsinki.
I walk the short distance to Mischa and Bassarov's apartment, and, once I get to the door, I collapse before it.

[Lady Violet]

I wait at my home for Futsu to arrive and reflect on Noe and the LIF. With all my heart I dislike the LIF, but Noe, Noe is an interesting man.
I recline in my chair and think about it. He followed my orders. He was as inclined to please me as any operative. How much of that is real? I can not trust him.

I rub my shoulders and feel a chill.
"What an interesting man."
What rubish. I need to be more careful. Mr. Futsu is right. I should not be so selfish. I need to think of my public image and of Red Infinity.

I hear something outside and when I get the door I see Sayuka collapsed outside. "d**n it! Well I'd say she's safe, but look what they did to her?" Carefully I pick her up and set her on the couch.

[Lena]

Lena looks at Lana and walks up beside her, placing a hand on Lana's shoulder. "I know it isn't, a lot of things in life isn't fair. We should accept things as they come through, since no matter how dark things may seem, there'll always be some sort of small light."

She says to her sister in a cool voice, not seeming sad or happy. "I know how hurt you are right now."

[Noe "Ghost" Carlson]

"You know I saw the cutest little girl the other day," Noe leans against Violet's desk, several pictures in hand. "She reminds me of someone but I'm not sure who." Noe fans the pictures and waves them like a fan, blowing a little breeze across his face and standing to he can turn to face Violet. "But I'm side tracking. I came to tell you that we're getting ready for our next wanzer test. I wanted to know if you'd like to see this one as well."

[Blacksmith]

((Archetype, just so you know, I left the sewers, so you would have to track me above ground in order to find me))

I have to get out of here. They took my car, which means they have more information on me than I had thought. Troubled, I mull over the circumstances. The helicopter might still be there, but do I dare risk flying it? I can't just walk out of the city, there is nowhere for me to go. A teleportation booth perhaps?

I nod to myself as I quicken my pace. I will go someplace else, Australia, perhaps, somewhere where they will not look. But first, I need to make one stop. I walk into a secluded alleyway, my heart pounding like mad inside my chest. Descending some stairs, I enter a smokey bar from the side door. The barkeep nods once at me as I walk behind the counter. We exchange a few words and he hands me a key, which I use to go into the back room.

The back room is grimey and dimly lit. I go to the brick wall on the opposite end of where I stand and run my hand over its rough surface until one brick moves in, revealing a door within the wall. As I enter, the door slams shut behind me and lights illuminate the area, shining upon a large warehouse. There are many things here, but I ignore most, moving purposefully towards my own supplies. Standing before me are some of my most valuable wares, higher-powered guns that utilize some of the more powerful technologies around. These weapons came to me at a king's ransom, and I have held onto them since I obtained them long ago while General Kolov still ruled the FRA. Taking a few of the smaller arms, I begin sliding them into my suit, arming myself.

[Sayuka]

I am too proud to admit what happened to me. It is hard to even put into words.
[glow=violet,2,300]I am fine...I just need some rest...[/glow]
I struggle to walk into a random room. It is Bassarov's bedroom. I collapse on the bed, soiling it with my blood. I close my eyes and enter a pained sleep.

["Zero" Americanski]

I shake my head. "She's worse than she thinks she is... We need to keep an eye on her..."
