i look at her, i met him once, but i was told he was around here. i look at zeek. i can find him why dont you join us?. she turns and starts walking towards a tall building, he said that riku lives around here, he didnt say anything about a hotel though. shrug and follow her. yoko close behind. it isnt a hotel, and i know he is this way, you may only have met him once, but i know him well. she walks up to the door and knocks
Riku~
i get up and open the door, i see three people. hello riku,. may we come in?. i glance at the others. come now, it hasnt been that long. my phone rings and i answer it. hello,. hey riku, it is mark. that is caine, and supposedly zeek, they work for red.but they should prove more useful, they came to help. he hung up and i looked at them, sure why not. i step aside and allow them to come in, i look at 'zeek'i did know her, but last i seen her she had steel pole through her chest. i shrug it off, i must have been mistaken. i follow them in, i glance around,. it'll be no problem jareth, the more the merrier. . i grin and lookd towards the new comers. this is jareth, suzumi, devan is upstairs and surma is outside, the rest are in the villa down the road.

Curiousity prevailing, I follow. I stay quiet the whole time until the known Riku introduced the others. I then curtisy bow, and intoduce myself.
"I am Yoko Makoto. An experienced traveller. It is nice to meet you..." I look up, then around me. I had gotten inside, and actually met people. How exhillarating this all was to me. Without thought, I start to wonder around, forcing myself not to touch anything just in case I disturbed something.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm an old friend of Riku's come to visit for awhile." Jareth got up from her seat, placed her plate down and went to shake hands with all of the new people. They all seemed nice. Jareth stopped herself, she had to remain focused. Do not get attached ever, rule number one. And she always went by the rules.
After all of the introductions I shoot a glance at Riku. ~I said i wouldn't hurt anyone. And you will find that i keep my word. My sympathy is genuine. Just because i am not a rebel doesn't mean i can not sympathize with them.~
Jareth wasn't aware he could read thoughts so well. She would have to put up a better guard and think of other things while around him. All she knew was she needed to be careful when around him. Maybe I should talk to Kaschei about this later. The thought of the sorcerers smile came back to her. Jareth get over it, she told herself.
Jareth instead turned her attention to the guests who had just arrived.

I look at Hith worried. "Cheer up Kith. I saw her in the park." I said. *does he love this girl?*

Peter stands knees deep in water, stream billowing around him through the pouring rain. Huge trees and lush plants surround him on both sides, only the way forward and back are open to him, down this stream.
He wonders if Chastity is alright back in Moscow then pushes the thought away. He's spent too much time already worrying about her and that kitchen.
Surely this was bigger? He was hunting down mass murders, dangers to the human race. Then why couldn't he get her out of his head? This was starting to...
A tenticale snaps out of the plants to his right, wrapping around his leg.
Time for work, thinks Peter, his hands flying to his weapons.

"Virgal is on the move?"
"Yes."
"Good. And Peter?"
"In South America, he's mopping up a Akujin situation."
"Keep him away from the girl and the dragon. Bad things seem to start happening when he's around them."
"Well sir, his medical stats show normal, not heart rate change, no adrineline spikes, nothing physical."
"We should not be worried about physical, but the mind."
"How so?"
"Our Hunter is incapable of physical attraction, ourdear doctor saw to that. However, I was only able to do so much with his mind. I couldn't remove all chances of attraction without taking a good chunk of his freewill and thinking, both vital to Hunters."
"I see. Then we must remove the situation. Keep Peter out of Moscow and Paris from now on."

Suzumi smiled, and stood up, politely bowing to the unexpected visitors.
"I'm Suzumi, it's a pleasure to meet you."
They seemed pleasant enough, but she culdn't help feeling some sort of apprehension about them.
'How do they know Riku? Do they work for Red Infinity as well?'
She turned her attention to Jareth and smiled, inquiring politely,
"So Jareth, what do you do?"

"well, to be totally honest nothing really at the moment. When i lived in America i worked, if you can believe it, on a farm but when i moved to Japan i became a shrine maiden. And i had been living in Japan before coming to find Riku."
All of what Jareth said was true. None of this was a lie really. She had been sent to be an assistant, which she was not going to be, so she didn't really have a job. It was easy to talk to Suzumi, and Jareth felt that under different circumstances she might actually have come to be her friend on her own.
"i was hoping that someone around here might find me useful. That is let me work. I'd hate just sitting around and not helping you guys out."

I look at Aries, "I am sorry that they are after you. They will realize soon enough that you are a good person."
The people are starting to line up at the door. Word has spread since yesterday.
The soup is done and the doors are opened. We start to ladel up dish by dish, and hand the soup to the hungry people. They sit, and eat. Some people say a quiet "thank you" when handed their bowl, but most just take it without acknoledgement. This does not matter. I do not do this for thanks or praise. There is need, and that is enough reason to do anything.
I look at Aries' face as he passes out bowls of the soup, it looks blank, with no expression. I wonder what he is thinking about. Perhaps the staggering need is overwhelming him, and he cannot even express the emotions. That is how I am. He will grow to love the people too, I know it. I take some empty bowls back and wash them to be used again.
We hand out soup until the pots are empty. Some people go home without, having stood in line for about an hour, only to leave hungry. I feel sorry for them. I knit them a song with my voice as they leave, weaving in hope and peace. I know that tommorow there will be even more who will go without.
I close the front doors and go back to where Aries is standing behind the counter. My eyes are sad, my heart is sad. If only I had more to give. Aries watches me, his expression still blank. I assume that having to turn people away is too much for him. I reach out my hand and lay it on top of his. "There are so many needy. Hopefully one day all of their needs will be met. It is my greatest desire. I will do what I can, but we can only do so much, it is up to a higher authority."
I take my hand away from his and heft a large pot into the sink and start to scower it. My thoughts and prayers are with the people.
It was a good day. I am glad that Aries was here. I want him to feel what I feel, to love the people as I do. The dishwater spirals around my hands, causing the tips to become wrinkled and paler than usual.

Bassarov and Kaieka explore the ruins. Bassarov takes a particular interest in the site where people where executed in ceremonies.
The sun dips lower into the horrizon. The brown stone ruins cast long shadows that bend over the mountain top. Basssarov puts his arm around Kaieka.
"We should head back soon. I imagine that the hostel is nearly done."
(for the record it is not a "hotel" but a "hostel"
...a hostel is a place where young people can stay cheaply in Europe.)

Kaschei goes to his crystal ball and watches Jareth.
He sends her a telepathic message.
"Jareth, you are doing a good job. Later today, I want you to do me a favor. A favor outside of your duty to Red Infinity. I want you to go to the Musuem of Lucern. There you will find a small statue of a black swan. It is obsidion. I want you to steal this artifact. It has magical properties and value to me."
Kaschei closes his mind and returns to his spell book.

Ukko traveled to Tounela, land of the dead, where he met Fascia and the child.
"Hello Fascia, I am Ukko, the god of Earth. I have come here to bring you back to the living world. "
He offers his hand.
"Your friends paid dearly to have you return. Do not disappoint them."

The Ministry of Terror tells me that my next mission is to kill some rebels on the other side of town. I take the subway across the city. I like the subway. It is dark and warm, like the womb of the city. It carries you. It carries your burdons. It is like a mother that way. I travel to a poorer part of the city, where rebels meet in rooms on dirty streets. I look up the address and come to a dingy place. I enter slowly into a smoke filled room, where intellectuals plot and talk. I draw my dagger and announce to all of them that they are dead. I turn invisible and slay them one at a time.
