Making Peace With Demons

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

"You too." I say, almost put off. If I was seperated from my son forcably again I'd do anything to get him back. "Goodnight." I walk back to my own room, put on my pajamas and go to bed...

But only my mind and body sleep... That which festers in the back of my mind never sleeps...

F. Zwei: I look over the world from afar, and see much potential in it's future. I have decided that I will give the mortals a choice; to either serve me willingly or to burn in Hell... Soon I will send my avatar to Red Infinity to demand an answer...

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov tries to organize the feminists, but they all seem scattered. He wonders what their organization will do now. He is also faced with the problem that the Green Party does not have a leader or a base. It would be good to keep them in Finland, since it is easier to meet with them that way.
He looks around the base for the elusive, Toivo Koivisto.

[Kaschei]

Kaschei returns to his office and feels angry. He has no one to take his anger out on like in the good old days. He used to have Jareth or Machiavelli, but now, he has no one. Unvented, his anger muliplies until he is in a perpetually bad mood.

[Erin Valotovna]

I feel as if I have been forgotten, but unexpectedly I recieve a letter transferring me to the Ministry of Terror. I can't accomplish my mission there, but to avoid suspician I report without question.

[Kaschei]

Kaschei recieves a call that he will be getting a new secretary. She was moved from the International HQ since after the purges, many staff members there were transferred to the short staffed Ministries.

He waits in his office for her to arrive.

[Erin Valotovna]

I walk into his office and curteously salute. "Erin Valotovna reporting for duty, sir." I say.

[Kaschei]

"It's about time I get some new help around here." Kaschei says as she enters.
"I am the immortal sorcerer Kaschei. I am the one whose death will usher in the end of the world as we know it. Pleased to meet you, Erin." Kaschei says arrogantly.

[Erin Valotovna]

"My duty is to serve you and protect you." I say. "I am an android, I think I will be able to do both more than adequately."

[Kaschei]

"So you are here to serve me? Good. I like to hear that. My other assistants have left me. I am notoriously hard to work for."

[Erin Valotovna]

"I will do as I am ordered, and I am difficult to annoy." I assure him. "Where will I be assigned?"

[Kaschei]

"You can be my personal secretary. You can take my phone calls and do the unpleasant things that I don't wish to deal with. You can also make sure that the people here are staying on task." Kaschei explains.

"You are an android then? Who created you and what is your history. These are important things for me to know. I like to know a person's history. It is impossible to understand anything if you don't know history. And what about your future? What are your goals?"

[Erin Valotovna]

"My history is in my file, and my goals are to make a career of working with Red Infinity." I say. The first part is totally true, and apart from my composition the history is accurate too. My goals are true, but I have ulterior motives that I am not consuously aware of.

[Kaschei]

Kaschei frowns, but doesn't pursue the issue any further.
"My main goal in life is to become a God." Kaschei replies, trying to make conversation.

[Erin Valotovna]

"That is a lofty goal... Can a human do that?" I ask inquisitively.

[Kaschei]

"If I become powerful enough and kill some Gods, I really don't see why not. I am already quite powerful you see. So yes, sitting before you is a future god. I decided that I don't want my own religion. I will be happy simply controlling the universe."
