The Nihilist's Momentos

[Dariya Pisarev]

The hours I spent at the mall yielded some new shoes and a few new outfits. The thing I hate most about communism is that I can't buy the things I want. The stores are always so sparse and the lines way too long. The only reason I fight Red Infinity at all, it is only because I loathe the inconvieniences it has created in my personal life.

I should get some coffee now. And I wonder what happened to the other nihilists, not that I care or enjoy spending time with them.

I walk to a coffee shop and listen to an idiot read poetry. I hate poetry. It is too emotional and writing it seems a waste of time.

"If you want to write something, why waste ink on that romantic rubbish. Write a text book or something of use to people, not some garbage about love or your depressing personal life."
I shout at the poet.

[Kurjuus]

-Kurjuus searched for Gunner and Ruth for over a week. There were few tips as to their location. Finally he came across a man and woman standing together. They had drawn something into the sand and quickly erased it.

-He thought it might be a religious symbol and walked over to them. He was still unsure of who they were. Since he is an angel, he thought that he would gauge who they were from how they reacted to him.

-"Hello friends, I bring good news...." He says as he approaches the two that he thinks could be christian.

(to Gunnar and Ruth)

[Usha]

"Brady, the day is saved! What should we do now! I know, let's have rootbeer floats!"

I put my arms around Brady for another hug then start looking around for a float shop.

[Elisabeth "BB" Wolfe]

"We're not going to the Ministry of Terror. As much as I would love to bust some skulls for this, we have to do everything legally, in order to remain neutral. I think the best course of action would be to go to Beijing and ask Lady Violet to release Bjork."

BB pauses.

"And if that fails, then we go kick some Ministry of Terror ass."

BB gets a nostalgic look.

"I was a journalist. I made an objective documentary about the early stages of the revolution, and the revolutionaries. I lived with the Red Army for... I think about seven years. I won an Oscar for it, not that that has any meaning now. Red Infinity got rid of anything that recognized art or good journalism a long time ago, in the spirit of egalitarianism."

"Before that I was in a college rock band."

[Zex]

i go to the library and learn from a book on finnish mythology that Ukko has a wife named Akka. matching names how cute. anyway, i need to find this akka.

i turn around and see that surma is with me.

"oh hi...i'm still trying to figure out a way to bring my friends back to life..."

[Hope98]

"Well let's go ahead and have this meeting. Come along." I say to Calithin and Xavier. I lead them to the empty church basement and turn on a light.

[Melinda Wollstonecraft]

I sit in my cell and wait for my next tortures. At least it looks like the main torturer has taken more of an interest in the tiger demon than me.

I lean against the wall and close my eyes. I think of life and the feminists and all I have done and plan to do.

[Freak Boy]

"By done with propaganda, I meant I'm not lying on air anymore. I never said I wasn't going to write a science fiction novel with strong political undertones." Freak Boy said, gesturing to the sketches of The Red Beast. (Think Baragon crossed with Megalon, but red.)

"Science Fiction always interested me, but I never got around to writing anything in that genre. Anyway, will you please tell me how to spell Schiessa Koff? I think I got it right, but I don't know."

[Lena]

"I'm right here." Lena says cheerfully, smiling as she walks up behind Chai. "I was looking around and cleaning. Sorry, but I think Lana'll be in her room for a bit. She's mad at me for making her get up so I could make the bed." She says, not seeming to mind too much.

[Aristarchus]

I fly around in my dragon form looking for religious things to destroy or religious saps to attack.

-I catch my reflection on a lake as I pass over it and feel quite pleased with my appearance.

-"That's right, everyone fear me...adore me...the great silver dragon!"

-I fly low so that people can get a better look at my wonderful dragon form.

[Calithin]

*I follow Hope into the basement, I do not see why we cannot meet in nice places but whatever, I keep it to myself for now. I like meetings, they are very official and organized.*

"I feel uncomfortable in churches, like I'm being watched."

[Hope98]

"Cal, you're a demi god angel. You should be in your element here."

I take a seat a long table and look at some of the archangels depicted in stained glass.
"You probably know some of those people."

[Chai Ling]

"Where has Peter gone, Lena?" I ask her politely. I'm not sure why I care about Peter or where he is, but things seem a little safer when he is around. Since all of us are pacifists we are easy targets to Red Infinity.

[Calithin]

*I glance out of the corner of my eye at the windows and nodd.*

"None the less, I can't do anything in here without feeling amazing amounts of guilt. I hate it."

[Lena]

"Oh, I believe he's still taking a shower. I talked to him this morning over tea before he went to take one." Lena replies, glancing around the room. She didn't see anything else to clean, so she remains standing with Chai. "Why do you ask? Of course, I'm not prying or anything. Just curious." She asks kindly.
