The Anatomy of Mortals

[Xavier Jaures]

Leon said:

Leon looked at the paper then and grinned. He wrote "Are you a Rebel then too?" then discreetly handed the paper back while answering "Yes directions would be greatly appreciated."

"YES I AM. WITH THE 4TH INTERNATIONAL AND LA RESISTANCE." Xavier writes before starting to lead him towards the rebel base where he can meet other rebels.

[Cephrien]

Ceph smiled and kneeled down next to her. "..Natalis.. it's me..!" He said and placed his hands on her shoulders. "..I'm your brother! ..and i've come back for you..!" he exlaimed calmly.

[Hope98]

"I normally have to take the first step. I don't mind. It is an emotional challenge, but until I do, and even sometime after, it is a risk and a little awkward." I reply.

"I understand why you do what you do, since I have done it myself. But when we both do it, well, it is an obstical of building any emotional intimacy between us."

[Natalis]

Natalis knew when she looked deep in his eyes that he was her brother. Natalis hugged him and started crying. "I thought you'd never come!" She hugged him tightly.

[Cephrien]

Ceph's smile grew even warmer as he wrapped his arms around his sister. "..I'm sorry...I'm sorry it took so long..." He said and rested his cheek in her hair. "...I hope you can forgive me Natalis.."

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov happens to glance at the television in the lobby of the rebel base as he is speaking with BB. He notices that Lady Violet was in an accident and hospitalized in Beijing.

"This is a good sign. Things are not going well at the International HQ." Bassarov remarks.

[Natalis]

Natalis smiled. "I can big brother. It was worth the wait." She hugged him more. "So finally I can get out of here?" She smiled at him and bit her lower lip.

[Cephrien]

Ceph closed his eyes and nodded. He picked her up as he stood. "..Of course.." He said and smiled again. "...Everything will be better for you now.. i promise.."
And in an instant, they both dissappeared in a flash..

[Calithin]

"Thats how I play chess too, I can never go first. It means giving up too much. I know that's selfish."

*I sit up a little bit and sigh.*

"Sometimes I wonder how this all works out. Because there is just so much in the way, I don't mind that. The challenges are what make it interesting, even so... I'm just not used to that, things are usually so easy. It's different to think... I don't want to admit how much I care, to you or myself. It's just more simple that way."

[Hope98]

"It is isn't it? It is simpler and easier to live life in a way that minimizes the potential for pain and loss. But I am an android, I have no afterlife. This is all that I have. I feel compelled to make foolish risks because I don't at the end of my life want to be regretful or left empty and wondering."

I sit up.

"And that is why I continue with this, even as futile as it may appear. I know that in the long progression of my life, I want to have you as some mark that happened along the way or some memory I carry in my heart. I don't want to close myself off to you, despite the risks involved."

[Natalis]

Natalis closed her eyes and reopened them as they landed outside. She shielded her eyes but smiled. "So this is the outside?" Natalis looked around. She smiled and ran around a little. "Its so pretty."

[Cephrien]

Ceph smirked and put his hand infront of his eyes. The sun was pretty bright out today.. Before anyone found that Nat was gone.. it would be best to take her to the Ministry before long..
"..Come on.. i need to take you somewhere.." He said and warped them to his room at the Ministry.

[Natalis]

Natalis looked around. "Where are we?" She looked around.

[Elisabeth "BB" Wolfe]

"Good, that pregnant dog deserved it," BB growls. "Anyway Bassarov, you'll be happy to know that after 500 years, I've decided to become a soldier for the happy medium. I'm still a centrist, but I want to see that pregnant dog Violet, Keitoleinen, and Lin-Sat burn," BB says aggressively.

They enter a bar. BB orders hard liquor, as usual. She needs the alchohol to run properly. She is incapable of actually getting drunk that way, so she isn't at the bar for that. She just likes the ambience of a good dive, and dives are all that is accessable for the proletariat nowadays.

"Hey Vossya, ever since I joined the feminists, you've been acting real distant. I mean, I know it's been about 50 years, but you've always been a pretty sociable dude. Would you feel better if we conversed in Russian or something? My Russian's improved a lot since the old days," BB offers.

"By the way, I know you don't drink, so any virgin drinks you want are on me. Ironic eh, considering both of us are pretty d**n far from being virgins. I don't have a sense of taste, so I can't really make a recommendation."

[Cephrien]

Ceph took off his scarf and tossed it onto the bed. He then began to put things back to where they were before he trashed it earlier. He looked back at his sister and smiled. "..You've been at the Asylum for awhile.. so i'm not sure you would understand... this is the Ministry of Terror.."
