The Spirit of Revolt

[Despair]

"It isn't your fault. It is mine for being too sensitive. I feel powerless to change anything in your life and that makes me hate my life and who I am. I can't be the person you need. I don't know if anyone in the world can be that. You're life is a mess. I want to help you, but I don't know what to do."

[Stasia Anjela]

"Really?" Anjela asks with a smile. Maybe she could ask Moira out, and if she was just interested in being friends, she'd never know Anjela had actually meant as a date, right?

"Would you like to go there with me sometime? I'd like to get to know you better. You'd have to lead of course, I've never really been here before."

[Cynthia]

"But that is the point, sure I had other options, I could have gone to school, I could have got a job at a gas station, but that's not going to pay the bills. What else could I have done?"

[Moira]

"I've got nothing going on right now. We could grab a bite to eat. I just had taco chips not so long ago, but I could go for something light like...clam chowder or something."

[Stasia Anjela]

"All right! Clam chowder sounds great. Have you had any past relationships? I hope you don't think I'm prying or anything. Just wondering. I'm also ready to go whenever you are."

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

My passion for Despair may be dead, but my compassion for him is born anew. I no longer love him as a potential mate, but as family. "Sometimes you just have to be there. A shoulder to cry on has helped me so many times... Sometimes just being there has helped me..."

[Sakari Lehtinen]

Seeing that everyone is accounted for, Sakari continues the journey southwestward.

"We'll be in Trenton in a few hours."

((I have to go run a few errands, I'll be back on in awhile.))

[Moira]

"It's kind of complex. I liked my best friend Fascia but she is with some guy now. Then there's Akira, but I hardly see her anymore. Our love is dead I think. That's about it. What about you? A pretty girl like you I bet has lots of guys after her."

[Lady Blue]

"I would've hired you had you applied, as I am sure many employers would. You could've filed for social welfare with either the FRA or Red Infinity, you had options."

[Despair]

"I don't know what to do. I don't want to leave you since I can't leave you alone with all the bad things going on in your life. But when I am with you and see all of those depressing things I have no power over, I can't help but get down." Despair explains.

[Stasia Anjela]

"Well, actually, no. None really. I don't like guys much, i figure most of 'em are all about the same." Anjela says, and gathers up her courage before asking, "You're bi, too?" It seemed that way, but it could be guys with girl's names.

[Zeila]

I float through the door and see that Cynthia is talking to Lady Blue. I hover over to the couch and take a seat.

"When you're down, sometimes you just don't know what options are out there."

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

I walk up to him and hug him to comfort him, the reverse of the usual situation. "We've both been used and abused, but we survived. And we will survive..."

(gotta restart brb)

[Moira]

"Yeah, I am. I don't mind guys, but I have never met one that I liked well enough to be in a relationship with. So I usually go for girls."

[Stasia Anjela]

"That's cool, I've never met another woman who was bi, so it's a nice change. I also prefer girls, since I've met many girls who I've been good friends with and wanted to date. They weren't bi through, so I suppose being their friends was good enough."
