Chapter 5: The Invisible Hand

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

I run downstairs and get some Countess Colas. They are strangely addictive and good. I prefer them to the other brand, although both taste pretty similar.

"Catch!" I throw the cola at him and crack open my own. Meanwhile, the hedgie paddles away in a bathing bliss.

"Which do you prefer...Countess Cola or Belle Drinks?" I ask him.

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday nodded. "Sounds good to me. How long do you think we'll be though? A few days? Maybe a few weeks?" She stood up, and stretched her arms over her head, arching her back just a bit.

"Well you're gonna get used to being alone with me if we're going to America together. This story is gonna kick some ass." Shes pretty excited.

Stastia just sat on Chistoffers back and said to him “to bad we have like… 20 blocks tell we get there hu?” then patting him on his head Chistoffer then said “ ya… but I can make 20 blocks into 7 if you’ll only let me fly around here for once” he said with a smile hoping she would tell him he could fly as he continued to walk with his wing expanded but put his geared a little dawn still looking in case “ Chistoffer…. How Meany times did I tell you…. I CAN”T DO THAT!” she said a little annoyed at him sins he always asked her this every time she summoned him Chistoffer know she was going to say that but he really did feel like flying and he know why to but being himself he asked anyways “And why not…” living a it silent for a minute and just about Statia was going to and an sour he said “ what a min I know what your going to say… hehe you don’t have to an sour now” he said being bored and he wasn’t really in a mood to hear he speech about how they need to keep a low profile Stastia shock her head “ are you trying to annoy me cause sadly its working…” she then said getting more annoyed Chistoffer didn’t say anything he just sighed and continued walking

Stastia then leaned on her stomach on him “ wake me up when were there ok..” she said tiredly as she quickly fell asleep Chistoffer said quietly “ ok” still walking but trying not to wake her up

I catch the cola can and pop it open... Diet... Ew... But, then, beggars can't be choosers.

"Countess Cola, duh! The original. The best. Belle Drinks are totally a rip off! You can't mess with the best."

I reach my free hand inside the tub and flick a little water at Rupert.

"So the floors have been looking pretty good lately. I guess my little pep talk paid off! I am such an incredible motivator. I should write a self-help book. I'd call it: The 'I' in happiness. It would be like reading gold."

That doesn't actually make any sense, but no worries.

"If I was a character in a book I would be in an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel."

[Malak Al-Dabaran]

"We are sort of understaffed right now so we should try to do it as quickly as we can." Malak replies. He tries to relax as well. He shifts around in his seat. "America is a rough place. I do go there sometimes for work for my other job. I do a lot of teleporation work, moving supplies from an Allmart Warehouse in Florida to stores. It is a part time job. So...I sort of know a few things about that company. The main thing is that it SUCKS to work for them."

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday looked back at Malak. "I didn't know you worked for All-Mart. Is it really that bad?"

"Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to figure out if I should just keep this room, I've grown kind of fond of it." She thinks for a moment, pacing a bit. "Its probobly smart to keep it, that way I have something to come back to. Really I should settle down somewhere and get an apartment." She says, mostly to herself.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

"If I was a book, I would be a Mr. Bump book. And mine would be...Little Miss Take." I say and laugh in a silly way, then I feel sad. Then I feel happy, but no, then I feel sad. I drink my cola and take Rupert out of the water. I dry him off with a plush red towel.

"Yay, that was fun. I suppose I should head to bed soon. It is past my bedtime and I work early in the morning."

[Malak Al-Dabaran]

"the wages are pretty crummy, but whatever. Nothing pays these days." Malak says with a shrug. He looks around the room. "I've been working with some party members in London. It is owned by Crest Mining but...may as well set up shop in the heart of the beast." He states.

"You could always move out there and help us. They're renting rooms above the office we have."

[Calithin Crest]

"I should go home as well. I have some packing to do. I'm going to be leaving soon to over see the construction of our new mines. It's a little exciting."

I pet Rupert a little and drink up my Cola quickly.

"But you take care good of Rupert, and yourself. Though, mostly Rupert of course."

[Azure Blackstone]

Azure thanked his new friend and watched as something ran by with a woman on top of her. he chased after her the stupid way horror victims investigate a mysterious sound. he chased after the beast but found it was moving to fast. so he found a booth and transported to a booth ahead of the creature. "heah big boy were are you going" he did not know if it was male it might be a girl what ever it was.
(to Stastia i hope)

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday nods, sitting down, and putting back on her shoes, that she just took off moments ago. "Well," she says, "I'll think abou tthat when we get back." She stands up, and grabs the few things that she needs, opening the door to the room.

"For now, off to America!" She said, with much more gusto than neccesary.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

"Yep, of course. You can visit Rupert any time." I say. I walk Calithin to the door in case he forgot how to get out. The place is messy so that is very well possible. After he leaves, I go to my room and put Rupert in a plastic tote for now. I will have to get him a better living space tomorrow. I lay down, in a fetal position on my black sheets facing the door. I soon go to sleep.

[Malak Al-Dabaran]

"Cool. And I have a teleportation code to an Allmart warehouse in Florida. We can teleport there and maybe hitch a ride to wherever we want to go from there." Malak replies. He feels pretty zesty himself. He skips out the door and slides down the railing of the stairs into the hotel lobby. He waits for Tuesday to follow.
