Red Fish, Blue Fish

[Zinn]

"I don't think so. I'm on vacation," Zinn says, in a more aggressive manner than usual. Her voice is usually cold or terrified in this sort of situation.

"I know who's here."

Zinn hands her gun to Antero.

"Cover for me for a second. I have to get out my bottle of silver nitrate. I have a score to settle."

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

I mosey my way into the kitchen, and make myself some tea.

"Hey you." I say to Vossya who's sitting in the living room. "You want some tea or something?"

[Antero Black]

Antero remains behind the bed and waits for whomever is. He thought that Zinn would want to escape and is very shocked that she wants to fight whomever this is. He takes the gun and keeps his eyes fixed on the door.

[Dr. Andrea Murdock]

Dr. Murdock folds her hands.

"I'm afraid that if you want to get her off the list, you will have to talk to someone in the service department. They will probably refer you to the semi-service department, who will refer you to the undersecretary of justice affairs. Still, beaurocracy is the price we pay for freedom," Dr. Murdock says cheerfully. "Of course, the undersecretary may not be able to help, and he will refer you to the oversecretary of assistance. Oh... no, wait, the oversecretary of assistance was purged, and we are searching for a replacement..."

[Zinn]

Zinn's mouth twitches.

"He bit off my tongue," she says, as she fills an ordinary child's squirt gun with the odd looking liquid.

"And he broke three of my ribs."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Hey Mischa, sure, tea sounds good. I'm in a good mood today. The weather is getting nicer so I am slowly getting over my winter depression. I am excited to go to Russia next week as well."

[Antero Black]

"Ahriman. He mutilated my tongue as well." Antero says somewhat distantly.

"I'm going upstairs to get my explosives. I'll be right back."

Antero opens a black portal before him and walks through it.

[Ahriman]

"I'll give you a hand. Going after some childish anarchists is exactly how I wanted to spend my evening, really."

I say to Kith in a normal tone of voice to add extra annoyance to it.

[Mr. Futsu]

I refold my hands on my lap, and tilt my eyes downwards, my head still in the same position as before.

"Ah, well... There must be something you can do to get things moving a little faster. Perhaps you and I can put in a good word to Lady Violet, or... Maybe there's something I could do for you." I say, my eyes now looking back up at Murdock.

[Zinn]

Zinn finishes loading her squirt gun.

Anything silver will work.

[Pierre Proudhon]

Pierre recieved Zinn's mental message about the dangerous intruder and rushed to her room. He figured there is safety in numbers and was really too terrified to stay in his room alone.
He bursts through the door.
"An intruder? What will we do? We have to get out of here."

[TheWyrm]

I am awakened by a ruckus coming from outside of the room. I get dressed, and leave the room, surprisingly nobody else has left their respective rooms. I head into Zinn's room and see the bed propped up like a barricade.

"Whoa... What's all this..?" I say, befuddled.

I jump when I hear Pierre's voice.

"Jeez louise, watch it, man... An intruder??" I was asleep when Zinn sent out the message, and didn't receive it.

[Pierre Proudhon]

"Zinn sent out some mind message warning us of a danger. I'm so glad you're safe Wyrm." Pierre gets behind the matress fortress.

[Krupskaya]

I work late and when I get home I decide to check on Valkoinen. I haven't talked to him in a few days.
I go to his room and peek into the door.

"Um...why is there a rebel here?" I ask him.

I scratch my head.

[Joukahainen]

((Ha ha, I thought it was cute...))

For a moment I feel guilty about the cat, but it's fleeting. I wrap my arms tighter around her, and brush my cheek against hers.

"You're so warm." I say, almost in an abstract sort of way. I brush my hand across her cheek, and smile.
