Chapter 8: Addictions

[Maeve Cullen]

Maeve finishes her cigarette and drops it to the ground, stepping on it as she entered the booth. She knew the signs Alexei was giving. "Come on, four eyes." Lonnrot punches in the code and she, a bit rudely, shoves him out with her as soon as they arrive.

[Alexei Nacharade]

Alexei gets out of the booth as fast as he can, immediately settling down once he's out. He looks at the group, and immediately puts on his most polite smile as if nothing had happened.

"So, where are we going?" He asks.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

Everything about Ireland seems so much safer and cleaner. Of course, all of Ireland is owned by Genetech. Most people here actually work for Genetech. I look around and notice Irish flags with Genetech's symbol in the middle...a giant GT.

"This feels better already!" I say, stretching my arms out. I spin around a little and feel at ease.

There are many white haired people walking about. It takes me a moment to figure out that they are Genetech's signiture creations. For some reason, their soldiers and advanced humans all have white hair. Since they are not in uniform, they must be off duty.

"Oh, we are going to Genetech's main lab. Maybe all of us can take a tour while my brother is doing his work."

[Maeve Cullen]

Maeve shrugs. "It's a nice place." She comments idly. She always thought all the white haired people were so weird. She gingerly touches a strand of her black hair, glad she had recently dyed it. She begins to lead the way to the Genetech lab.

[Toolah "Tuvi" Renee]

Tuvi takes the tape Dinari has and puts it into her purse. "I'll look over this and see if I can hunt down Horatio and the two mystery people. We'll handle it Dinari."

"So, I don't get to meet this person too Peter?"

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

Maeve takes the lead, which makes me wonder if she has been to the lab before. "Oh, you've been to the labs before?" I ask as I follow her. I suppose if she visits Ireland and her father is from here, then it would make sense.

"Well, it will certainly be interesting. I am pretty much against most of what they do." I say in a whisper, and mostly just to Maeve.

[Maeve Cullen]

Maeve simply nods, giving a smile that held no warmth. "They do do a lot of fucked up stuff there." She says tonelessly. If only she knew a way to find out the truth that she knew they were hiding. "I hope you don't have a weak stomach! They generally only show off their successes, though. Keh... But I'll protect you from any crazy experiments." She adds with a wink.

[Alexei Nacharade]

Alexei follows, looking rather interested. He'd never seen these white haired people before, or ever traveled to any genetech facility. The mafia didn't have much to do with ireland.

"Why do they make their hair white in the first place?" He asks.

[Dr. Lonnrot Kukkanen]

(Anyone mind telling me whats going on?)

I felt awkward for some reason, like something's not right. I get out my wallet and get out roughly $200. Making sure Hilja, but not anyone else, notices, I slip it into her pocket. "Just in case something happens," I whisper into her ear. If anyone else needs any, I'd be sure to let them have some.

[Maeve Cullen]

"It's some kind of side effect." Maeve replies, summing up the long explaination someone had once offered her. She wonders why Lonnrot was worried... maybe he was just paranoid. She'd met plenty of people who had some serious paranoia issues.

(Everyone who said they were going with Lonnrot and Hilja are on their way to Genetech since Maeve wrapped up things at the tattoo shop.)

[Dr. Lonnrot Kukkanen]

I look into Maeve eyes and know immdietly what she's thinking. I felt paranoid. Something just didn't seem right. A move quickly and run into Hilja. "My bad, when it's actually yours, whatever," I say too quickley to be fully understandable.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

(everyone is now in Ireland and going to Genetech's lab where you were going to meet Virgil, even though he is not there right now)

"Oh, you'll protect me? Alrighty, but I may be small and cute, but I am fierce like a Velociraptor. Maybe I will protect you." I say with a giggle. I growl and make my fingers into a claw.
I stop giggling though when my brother slips some money in my pocket. I wonder why he did that?

"Maybe they have white hair...because pink hair was already taken by the Creditors. I am not sure, but maybe we can ask someone when we get there." (They have white hair because they have some of the genes from a god that had white hair, although that isn't known in the rpg at this time.)

[Alexei Nacharade]

Alexei nods slowly, and looks around curiously, finding the place fairly interesting.

"What else do they do here besides make soldiers?" He asks. He's full of questions.

[Maeve Cullen]

Maeve glares at Lonnrot defiantly when he looks into her eyes. Hilja's adorableness distracts her though, and she smiles. "Oh my! That would be something. But afterall, appearances can be deceiving." She glances over at Alexei and shrugs. "Usual I guess... it's a lot different from Florida and Cuba, at least."

[Dinari Dollar]

"Well good luck figuring it all out. It seems pretty well organized, but why attack the workers? It just seems so odd. I have a business meeting and will be out of town for a while. Hopefully by the time I get back things will be figured out. Adios!" Dinari says to Tuvi and Peter before he steps into a nearby teleportation booth with his bags. He has a series of business meetings which he isn't looking forward to at all.
