After the Revolution

[Hera]

I stumble through the thick snow, trudging through depths up to my knees. Kaitlalish, where the hell are you? I am already getting tired again. I don't have much endurance for this.

By the time I stumble into a town, I can barely walk. I bite the first human I see and recharge myself on their blood.

It is such a tragedy to be human and to feed on other humans. I think it would sicken even the vampires.

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

I lean up against the side of the corridor, feeling exhausted. I am inexorably glad to be free of that foolish human's personality, however I am still too weak to try to take over, I must pretend to be the human for a time yet...

[Nova Kollontai]

"You were a socialist, Sakari? I guess you and I have something in common. I was alive during the revolution but too busy brooding in self hatred to be politically active. At least I eventually got my nuts together. I was with the socialists for a while, but don't remember what I did. Those years are a blur to me. I spent more of my waking hours as a woman back then."

I stand and try to recall those distant and strange memories of my half life. It is a half life since I live life in halves. Sometimes a man or an anarchist other times a woman or a socialist.

"It is hard to seperate one set of memories from another. Gender and politics blur into a strange continum. When I don't think about it, my gender never seems to change. It is nothing more than a shading of who I am that changes hour by hour so slowly that it could go unnoticed curse or no curse."

[Mr. Futsu]

I haven't been at my house in a good month. Keeping the public distracted while we're "cleaning house" is much harder than it sounds, and I know, it sounds hard.

I sit back in my chair, and run my hands through my hair. Now that the dust has settled, I can finally go home and relax.

Vincent drives me home. I hang up my jacket, and loosen my tie, the house is vacant yet again. It was only after I headed into the kitchen to make myself some miso soup when I notice Victoria's note.

"nuts..." I say out loud, and stuff the note into my pocket. I turn around and run out the door, jacket in one hand, cell phone in the other.

"Vincent, I need you back here now."

[Zeila]

The feminists at the base seem to be quiet for the moment, so I take advantage of the silence and decide to speak up.
"Do you have any other questions about feminism, Lady Blue?"

[Lady Blue]

"I still don't understand it if that's what you're asking..." I reply blankly.

[Ahriman]

Now I finally have a lead on Victoria.

I smile and go hunting.

[Victoria]

America, well this is as safe a place as any. I need a place to stay. I need help. Someone help me. The rain from earlier smeared my makeup and made my hair flat and frizzy.

I spot a van full of college kids or something. I walk up to them. I haven't eaten or slept in days. I am alway on the run. Always chased by Red Infinity.

"Help...help me...." I pass out before the van.

[Zeila]

"I don't see why any woman wouldn't be a feminist. It is pretty simple. We want to better the lives of women. That is the thing we all agree on." I say with a shrug.

[Lady Blue]

"That's just what I don't get, you claim to want equal rights but we've HAD equal rights for centuries!" I state. I may be an expert with machines but I do tend to be naive enough that I tend not to realize that society as a whole doesn't always conform to the letter of the law...

[Zeila]

"Well, maybe some countries have been better than others, but even in the best counties women still did most of the family and household labor, made less money, enjoyed fewer positions of political and economic power and so on and so on. If you really think that, you have to open your eyes to how the world really is, sweetheart."

[Soren]

Soren recieves a message from Dariya and is surprised that the nihilists are even planning something. The extent of their political activity is usually pregnant doging about the world and justifying doing nothing.

"Uh guys, sorry to cut out on this trip and all, but something came up."

He steps out of the van and calmly walks to a teleporter. He travels to Helsinki to meet Dariya and Septimus and to help them both set things up for later.

[Roxanne]

Roxanne slowed down when she spotted the hotel her and Dan where staying at. She went in and sent an e mail to Last Wave.

The E Mail said-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION!!
I need to get to the base now. I don't have time or money to take a plane, please send a teleporter to pick me up at the Big H hotel I am in the lobby. MUST NOT BE AFRAID OF VAMPIRES!!! Please hurry.

Sincerly,
Roxanne
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roxanne pressed send and hoped they got it soon and didn't see it as a joke. Please hurry, she prayed.

[Illidan]

Illidan borrows his father's elven robes and pairs them with a vintage silver dress that he found at a thrift shop. Kaieka is less than impressed when he goes to the Ministry of Terror, but he explains himself and that she shouldn't be so uptight about something so trivial as attire. She reluctantly travels with him back to the Ministry of Education where they wait for others to arrive.

[Zeila]

Looks like we have a new feminist. I have to go pick her up. I teleport from Lady Blue to the hotel where Roxanne is staying. I float behind her and pick up her suit cases.
"Hey, my name is Zeila, come with me."
I take her hand and teleport her to the feminist base.
