A Fight in the Mind

[Oneiroi]

I sit, deep in thought, not paying much attention to what is going on and allowing the Anarchists to guide things.

[Antero Black]

"That's interesting Pierre." Antero replies.

[Minamoto Ryunosuke]

I pull out a file and drop it on Noe's desk.

"It appears that this drow scum, Darith D'velera by name, was purged from Red Infinity and is on the run. Do you have any objection to my pursuing him?"

[Noe "Ghost" Carlson]

Noe glances at the file, then picks it up off the desk and flips through it. "Hum... normally an elf would fall under our protected races. But Drow don't." Noe taps his chin and sets the file down. "Kill him."

[Minamoto Ryunosuke]

I smile, a wicked glint in my eyes.

"Of course," I say, bowing lower than earlier to Noe before exiting the office.

Before going to the teleportation booth, I make a quick check on the computer and see that the target comes up in Germany, around the city of Koln. Accessing the teleportation booth, I go there and begin moving through the area, scanning the area intently.

[Pierre Proudhon]

"Yes, there are three stances which anarchists take on the nationalist question. You Wyrm, take the first, which is that individualist anarchist stance of not getting involved in any statist struggle. Sometimes anarcho pacifists take this stance simple because they do not want to get involved in violent nationalist movements."

"The other stance is to take action against authoritarianism in any form, even through involvement in nationalist movements. This is where I come from. The goal is to promote anarchy by educating and working with the oppressed towards meeting their own goals."

"Lastly, there is the critical support approach, wherein you critically support the movement but do not participate in it unless it gravitates towards your own political goals. You might work to educate the people or work with your own group there, but you would stay away from direct involvement with the nationalist goals of the moment." Pierre explains.

[DarithDvelera]

Darith brushes his teeth and thinks about his life with Red Infinity. He always worked very hard to be less "drow" that is, to fit into the aculturalized human world Red Infinity imposed on everyone. But, he could not be rid of his behaviors. He was always submissive to women even when told that genders are equal. Out of fear, he would pray to Loviatar (The RPG drow goddess). These two things were the most obvious signs that he had not been aculturalized.

[Minamoto Ryunosuke]

((Oh yes, just a note. Minamoto is Ryunosuke's surname, his given name is Ryunosuke. As per Japanese tradition, the surname is given first))

A few inquiries later, and I find myself outside the door of Darith's appartment. Without really thinking about it, I craft a blade of spiritual force in the shape of a katana and demolish the door with two quick swipes.

[DarithDvelera]

Darith drops his toothbrush and stares at the man. He is a religious scholar, not a fighter.

"Hello, have you come from Red Infinity? I don't believe we have met."

[Minamoto Ryunosuke]

"I am a hunter," I say simply. "And it is my duty to end your life for the betterment of all humanity."

[DarithDvelera]

Darith nods his head. He assumes that this man is with Red Infinity.

"I suppose I shouldn't have run. It was foolish of me. Just get this over with quickly. I am a scholar not a fighter. I see little point in resistance."

[Minamoto Ryunosuke]

I frown, disappointed.

"I thought you worms had more fight in you. I probably should have gone after a female, they tend to fight harder."

I arc my blade at Darith's neck, attempting to sever his head in one clean stroke. No need to dirty my soul with his filthy, cowardly blood.

[DarithDvelera]

Darith is beheaded and dies thinking that he was killed by Red Infinity. Had he known that the man was with the LIF, he might have put up more of a fight.

[Minamoto Ryunosuke]

Spitting on the drow's corpse, I take the teleportation booth back to the LIF office and knock on Noe's door once again.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov returns to his room and continues to write. He is not sure why this is so important, but he feels compelled by some demon to complete this account of the revolution in his own words. It causes him mental anguish, but feels it is something important. He wants to talk with Mischa about it.
