Kith gives a small smile then looks at their progress. "Well, we've been working pretty hard and the place is looking a little better. It will take some time for the main office to look like new again. I think we can take a break." Kith suggests. He puts some cleaning supplies away in a supply closet and feels somewhat impressed with their work.
"It seems this world weighs heavily on us both. Maybe we need a distraction. It's been a long time since I have done something ...for the fun of doing something. I usually work...either for Keitoleinen or for the group I am in. Would you care to do something leisurely?" He asks, but is not certain what sort of leisure activity they could do. He really isn't very good at leisure. But, between the two of them they must be able to come up with something fun.

To Calithin and Lonrott
After Calithin and Lonrott give their speeches, Dinari walks over to them to talk about them and tell them what he liked or didn't like about them. He was struck by Calithin's speech in particular. It was about being the best ...at what you do...even if what you do is not so impressive in itself. Lonrott on the other hand followed the Manalist line pretty closely.
"Hey, nice speeches you guys!" Dinari says, giving Lon a pat on the back and not patting Calithin.
"I liked your speech Calithin, about being the best at what you do...but, I guess, how do you know what your limits are? My great grandpa Dollar could have been the best shelf stocker, but he had dreams beyond that. So, how do you know where to limit yourself?" Dinari asks. He is just curious about what Calithin has to say since it differs a little from the Manalist line.
He looks at Lonrott.
"Hey do you have any of those cards with pornographic ink images on them?" Dinari asks.

"I'll make some burger then! That is ...if you don't mind, Bonifaz." Armin says, looking at his younger half brother. Bonifaz doesn't seem to care, so, Armin heads to the kitchen. He gets busy right away, looking for the ground beef and some buns. Luckily, Bonifaz has everything he needs. Soon, the smell of frying meat wafts into the living room. Armin is a little worried about Kasper and is not sure what to do. The time alone in the kitchen gives him time to collect his thoughts. He just doesn't know where to go from here. To go to Rome to see if Kasper, Lucio and Salome are there...or to worry about the Eyes of God.
He decides that the Eyes of God are more important than the missing rebels right now, since that impacts far more people. He determines that he will stick to the plan of meeting with workers.

Anthony heard a pop on his computer alerting him that he had mail. He ran over only to find an email that Li was in Rome and Ariel was nowhere to be found. However, he heard the door open and saw Momo enter.
Motioning with his hand, he said, “Come, we need to talk about Gods. I think I know how you can win against Jumala.” |

Danari came over, gave Lon a pat on the back and said something about pornographic ink cards? Not sure he heard the boy right over the roar of the crowd, Lon just smiled and said, "You know it."
Patting Danari on the back also, he asked, "How's it going, man? Long time, no talk." |

"Of course!" Niilo responds after a long, deep hit from his cigarette. "It'll be lovely to have some company."
Niilo loved to help others, even sometimes at the cost of himself. Now, in today's world, things were rough and tough, and it was nice to help others out when the needed it. |

Darian merely nodded to Sidapa when he informed him that they had captured a prisoner, that much he already knew. Darian did however tilt his head sideways curiously at him when he also said to that he wanted to check up on him, something which bewildered Darian. Compassion was seen as weakness, so Darian never expected anyone to even remotely care about him; he killed people without remoarse, few would care about him.
After Sidapa left, Darian grabbed a Manala black cape with a red M on the back and tied it around his neck as he headed out to join the festivities. Darian didn't usually dress nice... at all so it was actually a large improvement as he headed out to join the festivities outside.

((Anyone can join))
"Blargh! ERROR! NO CREDIT! NO CREDIT!!!" came the high pitched, and glitching voice of a creditor somewhere in Rome. Slamming his mechanical fists into the hood of a car repeatedly until it was severely damaged. Among other things, Akira was bored out of his mind and had been minding his own business when this car had said something about his mother; which he didn't technically have one but he still took offense to it and proceeded to pummel the hooligan at once!
What confused him most was the lack of people. Where was everyone? Akira was completely oblivious to the fact that not only was he in Rome, but that everyone was over by the High Temple... which meant... "L-l-l-l-looting time!" Akira stuttered excitedly, proceeding to break windows and steal televisions; randomly leaving them at different houses. He also moved a few cars, putting them in different parking spaces just to fuck with the owners. "Nyah ha ha ha!" Akira laughed before he jolted and sparked wildly, his red eyes changing color randomly. "Where is everyone?!" Akira roared, still clueless as to where the hell everyone was.

"Well player, the most important thing to know is to know yourself. So, it is the responsibility of each individual to be aware of his own potential. Or lack thereof. It's my experience that most people are usually pretty good about this... Stupid people, for example, are almost always aware that they aren't particularly bright. If someone never grows to be more than 5'7, he usually knows to give up any dreams of playing professional basketball. Now there's nothing wrong with having dreams, but, we must always objectively take reality into account. Actually... Maybe dreams isn't a good word then. It's more like... Nothing wrong with having aspirations."
I look straight up and around, then back to Dinari.
"Reality is the ultimate limitation. We're stuck here. We can't get out. Not ever. It drives me crazy. I feel like I should be able to impose my will on all of this and break through. But we never can. This. Is. Not. An. Exit."

"If I limited myself because I thought I was stupid, I would be a janitor." Dinari announces. "Or maybe work at Manala Burger."
What Calithin has said doesn't totally sink it, but it sounds good and thoughtful, so Dinari nods in agreement, since he thinks he is agreeing to something smart. Then, he turns to Lonrott.
"You should evaluate Calithin and I for mental illness!" Dinari suggests.

To Akira
Suddenly, while everyone is standing around in the shop, a window breaks. This alarms Horacio. Is someone trying to break in? But theft is a capital crime! If there is one thing that the Manalists care about, it is property. Horacio rushes to the door and sees an android carrying a car. He rushes back to Cephrien and Ophelia.
"There's...there's a machine out there....there's....a Creditor!" He stutters. He is terrified, even though he has pretty alright Credit.
He goes to the broken window and observes the Creditor. He looks different than other Creditors. If not for the pink hair, it would be hard to tell that he was a Creditor at all. He looks...so primitive and strange.

"Heikki...Archer...we need to talk." Bonifaz says after Armin leaves to make burgers. He leads them to the laundry room downstairs, since he figures that it is far enough away from the socialists any anyone else in the house that they would not be overheard. The laundry room is basicly just a basement with a washer, dryer, two large sinks and a closet. He figures Frieda won't hear them if they meet downstairs.
Once they are downstairs, he starts talking.
"Well, we can't infect them with Cat Flu if we are in the same house with them...since I am not really interested in getting sick. I was thinking maybe Archer and I could leave, so Heikki can infect himself..to infect the socialists before they leave here. However, Frieda will be here, so she might get sick as well. I don't care if she gets sick, but she won't be leaving, so, she could infect us when we return." Bonifaz explains.

To Lonrott
After Dr. Lonrott leaves to do other things, Keitoleinen heads to Sota's main lab in Helsinki. The lab did not sustain as much damage as the offices, which he will check later. The city is busy, moving downed Mechas, moving crumbled parts of buildings...but, things still look torn up after the fight last week.
Keitoleinen meets with some of his scientists and other staff, and they seem a little shaken up by the traumas of the fight or the loss of friends and coworkers.
Keitoleinen leaves a message to Dr. Lonrott requesting that he meet with some of the workers and scientists for PTSD and grief support.
After leaving the message, he spends some time personally helping with the clean up. It isn't like him, but, he wants to..at least look like he cares a little bit about Sota.

"Gods...all this talk of gods. It drives me crazy. But, I have some plans of my own on how to deal with Keitoleinen. But go ahead, tell me your plans concerning the gods." Momo replies to Anthony. Her white lab coat as a ketchup stain on it. She just noticed it. It must be from the hotdog or smeet sandwhich she had earlier. She licks her finger and rubs it against the spot on her lab coat while waiting for Anthony to explain his plans. She is curious, since defeating Keitoleinen is one of her long term goals.

After two days of bicycling, Kasper runs out of water. There is no sign of any farms or houses, so he hopes that he comes upon a flowing stream. It is hot, and he is starting to feel tired. He keeps peddling, since he knows he must still have about 200 km to go before he arrives at the nearest town and can teleport to Germany to join his comrades.
As the day wears on, he decides to stop and explore the forest. He might come upon a river in the forest and he can't keep going without water.
So, he hops off his bike, which he hides in some bushes. He starts wandering through the forest, putting some cloth on trees every so often so he doesn't get lost.
