Chapter 3: Every Heart is a Revolutionary Cell

[Calithin Crest]

"Okay, Ronni then... Sounds good. You can just call me anything you want. Now that we're properly introduced and I am no longer a creepy stranger that came up to you on the street, we can walk and talk."

I walk along the path with her and put my hands in my pockets.

"So you work for Scrag? That's interesting. How is that? Are you liking it? I wouldn't like that very much I think... It seems like it would be difficult."

[ronny]

"Alright....Cat." she answer quietly before she start walking with him.

"I do like working for him, even though he slightly smells a bit. He was harsh at me at first at still is, but he expects me to be a perfect Manalist for other Manalists."

"Do you like being boss of your own cpmpany?"

[Calithin Crest]

"And are you a perfect Manalist? That would be very impressive."

I yawn and look at the people on the street as we pass them by... A grey sort of mood hangs over the city and the people in it. Living in a world like this is more about keeping your head above water than anything, you have to ignore it as much as possible. After a while I just look down as I walk.

"As for me... I do enjoy owning my own company. We mine crystals, so... It's something people need. It's a good business. I usually do very well, there's little regulation so we can basically do what we please. It's hard to find workers though... Mining crystals is a dangerous job and we loose employees often."

[ronny]

"But can you use androids to the mining for you instead of regular people?" Ronny ask. She knew that there are at least one or two companies who create androids.

"It might be easier for you and you won't lose that many workers unless you don't like the idea though."

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea didn't have the energy to say much else to this person.
"Your so selfish," she spat. "Everyone is treated like this not just you and I don't have it any better then anyone else. I don't want to be friends with someone who is going to use me just so they wouldn't be suspected of anything."
She coughed and then winced because of the pain. Linnea didn't even watch Tristan walk away she just closed her eyes and floated in and out of consciousness.

(To Hilja)

Charon yawned as he awoke a smile spread across his face. He had just had a wonderful nap and was in a terrific mood. Charon danced as walked towards his garden, he threw open the door to the Garden.

Charon saw Hilja watering the garden and smiled. He waved and walked over. "Why hello there Hilja, working hard or hardly working?" he says with a chuckle.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

"I always try to work hard, sir." I reply to the elf. It has been one long day for me. I continue to water though as we talk.

"I'm almost done actually. I already did the weeding."

"Did you have a nice day?" I ask him.

[Calithin Crest]

"That's... Actually... A really good idea..."

I shake my head: it is ridiculous that I hadn't thought of that before. That is such a good idea! Androids don't take breaks... They don't get sick... They don't die... They can't sue you or strike or protest. Wow.

"That might actually be the best idea I've ever heard! I'll have to look into that right away. Wow. I mean... Wow!"

I put my hand up.

"Thanks! High five!"

Realizing that she's blind and probably can't see my hand let alone high five it, I take her hand, put it up, and slap it with my own. It is always a good time for a high five.

"You get a prize now."

[Dinari Dollar]

"Ah!" Dinari says and drops the phone. The white haired stranger appeared from nowhere. Dinari is freaked out since he has no idea who this person is. He feels afraid of the stranger.

"What do you want?!"

[Peter "Levitas" Barak]

Finally! Peter had gotten his bearings and, strolling easily along, made his way back to the T-Booth. There was nothing to rush about now, not until the next phase of the plan came into sight and that was a ways off. There where other acquisitions to be considered but priority one was restoration of the United States. Still...

He rubbed his hand, picking at one of many splinters, and stood by the booth. Nothing to hurry back too... he could go someplace for awhile, enjoy a little down time. Or he could look into other projects. He had some business at the Global Bank that needed to be taken care of eventually... Maybe he should call Tuvi, see if she had some freetime.

[slowpoke]

Charon thinks for a moment before answering "My day has been pretty spectacular, I didn't have any classes to teach so I decided to read then take a nap, and it has been one of the best choices I've made in awhile"

Charon bends down to smell the tulips and relaxes even more with the smell. "So Hilja, how has your life been lately?" Charon draws ever so closer with this statement

[Jack Kruschev]

Anthony stared at his creation. This was the first time in history when this had been successfully done. A plant that could reproduce on it's own was brought into the world by human hands and modern technology. Anthony was stunned. The plant was no evolutionary ancestors, no parents, nothing. Anthony picked up his phone and called his secretary.

"G-g-g-get Dr. Hoito, the press, and someone BIG," Anthony said. "I've just made the greatest breakthrough of my career..."

[ronny]

"Your welcome, Cat." she reply. Ronny quickly became suprise when Cathilin grab her hand and gave her a high five. She assume that he must like high fives or something like that,

"I'm just glad you like the idea, but....what type of prize I should get.....Cat?" she ask with a small smile.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

"I wish I had a day off!" I tell him with a smile. "But I suppose I would just waste it..."

I sigh and think about my day and my life. "Well, I am sure it isn't of much interest to you, but life is not very good. If it were good, I would not be working so much. But I am doing my best to remain upbeat. Such is life when you are one of the Cursed."

[Calithin Crest]

((To Charon and Hilja, yo.))

I actually had not considered her prize... Because I don't think these things through. We walk for a little bit more and over some hedges I see a garden filled with many different kinds of flowers.

"Your prize is... A flower! I hope you like flowers."

I figure she won't really know whether the flower is stolen or not... And that whoever owns that garden can spare me one little flower.

"Come with me."

I take her hand and try to guide us through some bushes and into this garden as stealthily as possible... I don't notice that there's anyone else in the garden, as we are in the far corner of it and I cannot see them, so I just walk up and pick a few flowers up out of the ground.

"Here you go. I believe these are... Tulips."

I hand her the flowers with a smile and as we're making our way out of the garden I accidentally bump into some garden supplies, making a loud noise.

"Uh oh..."
