After the Revolution

[Roxanne]

Roxanne is dazed. "Wow that was fast. Thanks." She said.

[Antero Black]

Antero sees the woman approach the anarchist van and fall. He gets out of the van and steps up to her. His eyes grow wide with delight when he realizes that not only is she from Red Infinity, she is the vampire woman who thwarted his attempted hostage taking last spring.
"Let's tie her up, tape her mouth, and take her with us."
Antero goes to the van to search for something to tie her up with. All he finds is some twine, which might work, but not well enough.

[Zeila]

"Teleporting and stuff is my specialty as far as powers go. So, welcome to the Feminist Base, Roxanne."

[Riley]

Riley looks at Roxanne, and gasps. She was a vampire. Riley wanted to yell and scream at her but she held her tonge and glared at her.

[Lady Blue]

I growl but for just a few seconds. "If it wasn't for your d**n revolution we would all have equal rights!" I whisper.

[Pierre Proudhon]

"Are you sure we need to tie her up, she was only looking for help. Perhaps we should see what she needs help with." Pierre helps the woman into the van and seats her in the back between himself and Wyrm.

[Zeila]

I pick up part of what Lady Blue said. "Sorry, but that revolution was nothing. Socialism, anarchy, and capitalism are incapable of providing equal rights. They are all reformists in my book, and what you see as revolution, I see as a violent means to slight reforms."

[Lady Blue]

"What I see as revolution is a bunch of people shoving their ideals down our throats! We had a system that worked dammit!"

[Antero Black]

Antero eyes the woman in the back. He hungers for revenge, almost the the point where he actually salivates at the thought of causing her harm. But he knows that the others are watching and expecting him to do something destructive. They want the slightest excuse to persecute him. Maybe the clouds and confusion in his head was giving way to a new and better person, but, the haze of violent thoughts is returning.

[Zeila]

"I say blow it all up, all of it. Send humanity back into a dark age where we have to live communally. No technology, no great governments, just simple living. For all that we have done to the environment, civilization should be sent back a few thousand years. It would be a kahrmic spanking. I agree, we need to go back to what worked, and so called "civilization" hasn't."

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov and the others discuss the revolution for a while longer. It is all very interesting to him. He never talked about the revolution much. It was always a hard thing for him to discuss, but now, speaking with other revolutionaries, he feels better.


"This has really helped me gain perspective about the revolution." He says to them.

It was so long ago now, but for the first time he is making peace with it.

[Lady Blue]

I am struck by a sudden urge to see just how many bullets I can put in Zelia's face before the others kill me, but I maintain my composure. 'You ARE just using this to push political ideals... Why the f**k should we abandon civilization when it is what allows us to live?" I am so angry because I am very sensitive about the enviromental issue, partially because I am personally responsible for 23% of the world's air pollution, and that I don't care because I am more interested in carving out a chunk of the world for people who believe in personal freedom and personal wealth...

[Tyhjä]

Tyhja enters the room and hears Zeila discussing her politics. He is very interested in what she has to say. He is a nihilist and she has politics leaning towards nihilism, yet more purposeful and with some basic truths. She is unlike other anarchists he has met. Her vision of what needs to be done is very similar to his own.

"I agree. In order for there to be creation there must be destruction. Humanity is on a course of destruction and it is only a matter of time before things will return to their starting points. But I disagree with you on one thing. No action is needed to hasten this course."

[Zeila]

"Civilization is a joke. We haven't been civilized for a long long time. Maybe we can learn what civilization really is when this sham we call civilization is struck down. But we were talking about feminism? We'ren't we? As far as that goes, I think you should be able to see that some changes need to be made. How can you possibly believe that women are on equal footing to men?"

[Tyhjä]

Tyhja is a little indifferent about feminism. He was for a moment truly interested in what Zeila had to say about the destruction of society. Nihilists destroy for destructions sake. They want to see what remains when society and ideas are destroyed. He himself sees destruction as a needed element in creation. He is indifferent to truths, since truths are always being made and destroyed. The only point in existance is the process.
