Zepplien Hegemony School (IC)

[Alan Haskayne]

The first day of the new school year, people marched, literally, to the main courtyard, they had had a 30 day break, but were not allowed to leave the school. Helicopters buzzed overhead, as two escorted the one bringing the base commander of the local 'school security' who was in charge of the students. His helicopters landed quickly in the courtyard as the students walked in, usually in small groups and sat in the concrete bleachers. The helicopters shut down, but waited for everything to be set up, they also figured that it wouldn't hurt to give people time to talk to each other. The exchange students were delivered by trucks as the students assembled.

(Brisco and Bala)
Brisco gently kissed Bala as they walked and gently said "Open you hand." Bala thought she wanted to hold hands, so she quickly did, then squeaked as Brisco dropped a burning match onto it to burn her skin. Bala, quickly flicked the match off, because she knew Brisco wouldn't ask her to leave it on her skin. Brisco then grabbed the girls hand and held it tightly, causing Bala to squeak and gently whimper as Brisco pressed her hand on the burn. Brisco had a sadistic grin on her face and said "Love you" then started practically dragging her along. Bala hoped that this would satisfy Brisco's sadistic tendencies, and almost sighed at how much she still loved her. Brisco on the other hand was wondering how to torture her girlfriend next, and smiled faintly at a few thoughts. As the trucks arrived Brisco looked over and pointed and said "Look, the new students." as Bala looked over Brisco stuck her foot out and tripped her, then grabbed her by the hair, as if catching her, and then pulling her back to her feet and smiled at her pain. Bala whimpered as she was pulled up by her hair, but meekly smiled when Brisco smiled at her.

(Jane)
Jane sat in the corner of the bleachers, against the wall, and ran a cloth over her rifle. She was gently cleaning it so it would look the best in case she was inspected. She was certainly one of the first ones there, and watched the others come in using the scope on her rifle. She mused the idea of shooting someone, but decided against it, thinking that would be very improper. She looked around and took out her copy of the manifesto and started reading, not expecting anyone to bother her. She briefly glanced up and glanced at the trucks, but instantly went back to reading her book.

(Sarto)
Sarto walked along with a few friends joking back and forth with them. He noted everyone wearing their uniforms, his was a light blue, and he only saw a few others with the same uniform, but he expected that, wanting to work for the propaganda office was not overly popular. He remembered 'his' first propaganda films, entitled 'Capitalist Propaganda, the truth' it was always popular and was remade every few years as capitalists changed. He smiled at his friends as they sat down, and chatted about the latest films, like one of his favorite spy films 'From Corrien with Love' about their so called peaceful nation comrades having an evil group trying to gain power and turn Corrien against Zepplien. He looked over at the trucks as they turned up, wondering what the new students would be like.

(Oita)
Oita sat back against the cold concrete and thought to himself about the rules. He put his hand on his sword as he thought to himself. He then sighed and tried to strike up a conversation with the cute guy next to him. He managed to debate school policy in regards to food in good humour. He watched the trucks arrive with non trusting eyes.

[Edenecho]

{Jeremy}
Jeremy muttered a payer to Violet under his breath as he waited for the truck to stop at his new school. He wasn't happy with having been practically thrown out of the nation that he loved, but at least he had Violet to watch over him. He was convinced that she had come to him one day, telling him that he was her most loyal worshiper, and that she would always guide and protect him. He'd told people about this meeting, and they all pretty much just ignored him. Once the trucks stopped, he hopped out and looked around. This place looked much nicer the the Gerelden schools. He slung his backpack over his shoulder and faintly wondered where he should go.

{Rosie}
Rosie was very uncomfortable ridding with the guy that had a Violetism Bible, and a dagger that looked like it was more then just a plain ol' dagger. She had heard Violetism, and how people were dragged from their homes as sacrifices to Violet. She couldn't understand how anyone would support that, let alone a government. Seeing as Violetism was the national religion, and church was mandatory, she was more likely to get into trouble for not believing it then by practicing it. She sighed, wondering how her country had managed to be so insane. When the trucks stopped, she hopped out, hoping that this country would be at least a little better then hers.

{Cliff}
Cliff nervously went between drawing and combing his hair over his missing eye, to hide the eye patch. He hoped that this nation was more tolerant of artists then Gerelden was. He was actually quite nervous about drawing in front of other people, and his hands were shaking so badly that he kept messing up his drawings. He noticed that the other dude, the one with the Violetist sacrificial dagger, was looking at him with disgust, and it made him shake even more. The girl with the light blond hair and strangely kind eyes was looking at him as though she had never seen an actual artist before, which she probably hadn't, and she looked interested. He looked at the other girl that was in the truck with them. She had long black hair and expensive clothes. She sat straight, with her chin high. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, then rolled her eyes. He let out a sigh when the truck stopped, then put his drawing stuff in his backpack and hopped out of the car. He was starting to feel jittery, and not just from nerves.

{Bianca}
Bianca rolled her eyes at all the slouching people in this truck. Didn't any of them know proper mannerisms? She was even more annoyed by that stupid artist and his scratching pencils. She didn't mind the Violetist very much, but the other girl....Bianca didn't like her purely for the fact that she was pretty. Though she was certain that no one was prettier then herself, she didn't like it when some other girl came close. When the trucks stopped, she sat up and stepped carefully out of the truck, dusting imaginary dirt off of her expensive clothes.

[Alan Haskayne]

(Brisco+Bala)
Brisco saw people get out of a truck and decided that she would help them out. She gave a sharp painful tug to Bala's hair and said "Lets go greet the new students." she had a sadistic grin and slapped her hard a few times and said "You look better freshly slapped." then kissed her gently. Bala was kinda used to getting slapped and hardly whimpered, but looked happy when Brisco kissed her. Brisco then, while still holding her hand, walked over to the new students and said "All glory to Marx and the state comrades, we wish to welcome you to the glory that is the Hegemony. My name is Brisco 50045, this is my girlfriend Bala 50046." she smiled affectionately at her girlfriend for a second then looked back at them and added "I can answer anything you wish to know about the rules, school, Hegemony, etc." she looked at each of them, she thought the rich girl looked cute, she would have to keep Bala away from her. She didn't like either of the guys, and didn't really have an opinion of the other girl. She then slapped her girlfriend hard across the face and said "Do you have no manners, get these people some copies of the manifesto." Bala quickly nodded and reached into Brisco's bag and found five copies, and handed out four of them, then put the extra back in the bag. Brisco smiled at her and said "Thanks." then gave her a quick kiss.

(Jane)
Jane watched the new people through s her rifle scope, she didn't trust them, any of them. She knew a lot of propaganda, and 'knew' that all capitalists wanted to bring down communism only slightly less than they wanted money. She half rolled her eyes at Bala and Brisco, they were kind of famous for being very open about their feelings for one and other.

(Sarto)
Sarto glanced up and looked over at the capitalists. He decided to walk over to Cliff and said "HI, welcome to the Hegemony, I am Sarto 50038, I'm kinda like the minor minister of propaganda." he kind of laughed as did Bala, apparently being a joke. He then added "Are any of you artists or like singers or anything, I'm always looking for new talent." he smiled at Cliff and added "Especially cute ones."

[Leslie]

Shortly after the first truck arrived, a second pulled up full of some people from Corrian. They all started to pile out when they arrived, and some seemed to look at the school questioningly, and looked a bit uncomfortable and frightened. Though one boy looked like he was just smirking and thinking this place felt 'at home'. But most of them seemed not quite as sure about being here.

Gail
First out was the rather girly girl, who instantly showed a bit of distaste for this place. It just seemed too.....militarized to her, which meant it was dirty, and stuff like that. She hated dirty places. Especially getting dirt under her nails, and if there were spiders. Spiders were the worst. She hated the little pests, especially if they crawled on her. Any bugs were icky and gross if they crawled on her.

Selena
Hopping out after Gail was Selena, who didn't seem to quite have much of a distaste for it. Though, she did looked a bit worried about the place now, since she was so used to nice Corrian and this was so drastically different. She sort of regretted accepting now, but if it was to spare someone else the 'suffering' of being here, then that was good enough for her. Her thoughts were always on other peoples happiness over her own.

She stood there and waited to see if someone came up to them first. She didn't really pay attention to the others though, and just quietly waited to see what happened next. Hopefully nothing bad. It seemed to her that things could probably go down hill here easily, and that made her a little uncomfortable.

Jesse
Following Selena out was Jesse, who just by looking at him gave you the impression that he was up to no good. But according to some people from Corrian he was 'gorgeous' and they wanted to date him, even though at times he gave off an obvious impression of being up to no good. If they did end up dating him, he'd probably just come back and back stab them eventually anyway. He was great like that.

Unlike the others, he seemed to actually like the look of this place. If anything, better than Corrian itself. He liked the idea of guns, and maybe getting a place of power here. He was a power hungry person after all. So, he would probably be referred to as a greedy, power-hungry capitalist at least once while he was here.

Shane
Shane walked out of the truck looking at a GPS device, instead of using his phone for a GPS. For some reason he just seemed to like to have a bunch of gadgets, even if it would be easier to just use the GPS device on his phone. Though, his GPS device had a bigger screen then his phone. It seemed like he was trying to figure out exactly where they were, but was having problems with it.

While staring at his GPS device, he accidentally bumped into the back of Jesse. "Sorry man" He said to him, and Jesse just turned back to him and gave him a glare. "Watch where you are going next time" Jesse snapped, and faced away from him. He just sighed and put his GPS away for now.

[Alan Haskayne]

(Oita)
Oita watched the other truck arrive and pushed himself up, as leader of the disciplinary council he felt it his duty to help sort out the new students. He looked up and Jane and barked "Sniper, get down here." knowing she was one who often helped out the commission. She hopped up and walked down, cradling her rifle. He walked forward and opened a crate and retreated for books. He then turned and walked over to the new students and said "Praise and infinite glory to Marx. Welcome to the glorious Atlantica ZSH, capital province of the Hegemony. I am here to welcome you." he handed them the copies of the manifesto "Being found without one is a crime in this school, you get ten hours forced labour if you don't have one." he looked at the group and said "I am Oita 50072, leader of the discipline commission, we regulate student activity, if you have any questions, come to me." he looked at all of them, but seemed to look at Jesse the most, it was hard to hell if he didn't trust him, or if he thought he was cute.

(Jane)
Jane sort of just looked at the ground rather than talk to any of them, clearly shy she hugged her rifle tightly, feeling attached to it. She looked at Shane and said "I'm Jane 50068." but it was hardly audible. She then walked up to him and slid her hand in his pocket and took out his iPhone and GPS device. She looked at the iphone like she had never seen one before, slightly freaked out by it. She then figured out how to turn it on and quietly said "Oh its a phone." then dropped them both on the ground and stomped on them until they broke, then fired one shot from her rifle into each of them to be safe. She then looked at him and quietly said "Sorry, I didn't want you hurt." then turned and basically walked behind Oita again, embarrassed and shy. She slowly loaded two more bullets as she stood there.

[Edenecho]

{Jeremy}
Jeremy looked at the two girls who came over, noticing that one looked kind of abused. He didn't say anything to them and just took out his bottle of water and took a sip from it. He then pulled out another bottle and offered it to the girls,"Want one?" He asked with a mischievous grin on his face. It was water from Gerelden, which was all drugged...which was why most people in Gerelden chatted with hallucinations. He put his own water bottle back in his backpack and took the Manifesto, but only after he heard Oita say something about it being a crime to be found without one.

{Bianca}
Bianca took the manifesto as if it was some kind of really gross object, then said,"Where exactly are we supposed to be going now?" In a kind of bored, high-pitched voice. She just stood there looking bored and waiting for an answer.

{Cliff}
Cliff looked kind of nervous when Sarto came over to him, and started fiddling with the straps of his backpack with one hand, and brushing through the hair over his eye patch with the other. "Hi...I'm Cliff Zemann," He said quietly. He suddenly seemed to lose all nervousness, and suddenly become cheerful, when Sarto said something about looking for new talent. "I like to draw and make stuff out of clay and stuff like that," He said, rolling his eye slightly when Jeremy made a gagging motion.

Everyone pretty much ignored the Corrians.

[Alan Haskayne]

(Brisco and Bala)
Brisco watched Jeremy carefully and then took his water and said "Thanks." in a distrusting way, she knew better than to just assume that the water wasn't poisoned and shoved it into Bala, and said "You drink it first." Bala looked at the water and took it, she hesitantly held it up to her eye and then took the cap off. She apparently took too long because Brisco grabbed her hair, and pulled her head back, then pinched her nose and poured water into her mouth, forcing her to drink it or she would drown. She stopped after the bottle was half empty and Bala fell to the ground coughing hard, she looked up at Brisco who pat her head and said "Thanks Bala." them looked at Jeremy and said "If you spiked that with anything tell me now, or I will kill you." she didn't sound like most teens saying that they would kill someone, she sounded like she would literally put a bullet in his head for it. She looked over at Blanca and asked "Is there a problem with your manifesto comrade?" in a threatening way. She then pointed over to the bleachers and said "We were waiting for the base commander to speak to show our loyalty as a school to the state." she looked annoyed at her high pitched voice and said "Watch that tone."

(Sarto)
Sarto smiled and said "Nice to meet you Cliff." he then looked happier as he seemed to brighten up. He smiled and asked "Can you draw like an anime style, I could get you a little side job as an someone who can animate anime propaganda films." he then moved closer to him, and asked "How badly do you want a job though?" looking like he was going to kiss him.

[Edenecho]

{Jeremy}
Jeremy watched as Brisco took the water. He didn't show any reaction to her shoving it over to Bala, mainly because he really didn't care if anyone drank it at all. When Brisco grabbed Bala's hair and pulled her head back, he bit his lip and said very quietly,"You might not want to...." He broke off as Brisco forced Bala to drink half the bottle. "...Drink it that fast..." He didn't really feel like causing problems at school like, a couple of minutes after getting there. She wouldn't get overdosed or something, but she would definitely feel the affects of the drugs. He looked at Brisco, then said,"I didn't spike it with anything, or put anything in it," He said, completely honestly. It was true, he hadn't. The Gereldian Government had.

{Bianca}
Biance looked Brisco up and down, her head held high. "Who knows what kind of germs it has on it," She said with distaste. She put on a pair of shiny black gloves, apparently to protect herself from touching anything with germs on it. She then kind of scoffed and said,"Like I care. I only asked where we were supposed to be going," She rolled her eyes a strutted of towards the bleachers, apparently ignoring the lat part Brisco said.

{Cliff}
Cliff smiled at Sarto slightly,"Nice to meet you too, Sarto." Cliff was happy purely for the fact that here he wasn't going to be shot for being artistic. He nodded quickly, "Yeah. I can draw pretty much any style you want," He leaned back, away from Sarto when he moved closer to him. "U-uh, h-homosexuality is h-heavily frowned upon in g-gerelden," He stammered, as if it mattered. Jeremy made another gagging motion, but this time he actually looked more disgusted then he had before.

[Alan Haskayne]

(Brisco)
Brisco narrowed her eyes at Jeremy after she finished basically forcing her girlfriend to drink the water and asked "What the hell do you mean 'don't drink it fast' why shouldn't she drink it fast?" she clearly didn't trust him saying he didn't spike it and said "Good, because if something happens to her I know exactly what to do." she then pulled her pistol out and shoved it into his mouth "After all, I like her a lot more than you." she then pulled the pistol out of his mouth and smiled slightly, but with a look that showed she didn't really see it as anything more than putting capitalists out of their misery, given that their nation was capitalist.

Brisco looked at Blanca and looked practically offended at her and said "You think the manifesto will give you Germs! Those are the words of Marx, no germ would dare touch them, all are below the glory of Marx, from the smallest bacteria to the largest whale." she shook her head and said "Fine fuck off then." in an annoyed tone and mockingly said "Hope you don't get shot Capitalist that would be so sad."

(Bala)
Bala watched Blanca put on the gloves, and looked like she was lustful over her. She thought she looked really hot, and she sort of wondered if she would like her, but quickly shook her head. Brisco looked at her and slapped her hard across the face and shouted at her "How dare you look at another girl! I know that look, don't you dare let me find you looking at anyone like that again!" then grabbed her hair and punched her nose hard enough to make it bleed. Bala clutched her nose and quietly cried saying "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

(Sarto)
Sarto smiled and said "Well I'm sure I can get you a job then, it is hard to find good artists in this nation, I mean most people want to be in the military." he gently put his arms around Cliff and said "Gender does not matter comrade, just don't worry about your nation." he then moved so their bodies were touching and whispered "You do want to be an artist don't you?"

[Edenecho]

"It's just got a few...herbs...in it. Might be a bit overpowering if it's drunk to fast," Jeremy said. It wasn't a complete lie. He was a skilled liar anyway. When she stuck her gun in his mouth, he backed up a step, but only to get to where the gun wasn't so annoying, not because he was scared of her. "She'll probably be happier. She might talk to herself a bit, and be happier, that's about it," He said. He didn't seem to believe that she would, or could, kill him, and said,"Violet protects me."

{Bianca}
Bianca rolled her eyes at Brisco. "Whatever," She said, blinking and rolling her eyes in a way that kind of makes you want to slap her. She also sounded like she thought Brisco was crazy. "I came here to learn, not to listen to some broke girl blabber about Marx," She just ignored anything else that was said.

{Cliff}
Cliff snorted slightly,"You should try finding an artist in Gerelden," He said in a kind of half joking way. He leaned back more when Sarto put his arms around him, and kind of held him back with his hands. He didn't respond to what Sarto said, but shoved him back when he moved closer,"I am an artist. I just want to be an artist in a place that won't shoot me for drawing a picture," He said, glaring at Sarto.

[Alan Haskayne]

(Brisco)
Brisco looked annoyed and punched him in the face, quite hard, and yelled "Why didn't you say something you bastard?! If she has drugs in her system she will be shot!" her eyes were wide with fear for her girlfriend, and squatted down and said "I'm so so sorry Bala." Bala looked at Brisco like she had never heard her say sorry before and whispered "Its ok Brisco, I still love you." Brisco then sighed and said "Go throw up in the bathroom, he drugged your water." Bala quickly stoop up and ran for the bathroom. She looked back at Jeremy and walked up to him and shoved him back saying "How dare you drug her water, you are lucky I don't kill you." then punched him in the face again. She looked at him and said "Violet? What the fuck is that? No 'Violet' would save you from the will of Marx." she drew her arm back to slug him again for hurting her girlfriend.

After all the shit was done with Jeremy and was talking to Blanca looking annoyed "Don't whatever to Marx comrade, forced labor might result. Or might working a coal mine make you brake a nail?" mocking her capitalism. She looked even more pissed and walked over and wiped her hand with blood on it on her cloth clothes saying "Blood stains by the way you scum capitalist." she then added "I am a Admiral candidate by the way comrade, in about five years I will be order to order your death, be careful what you say to me."

(Sarto)
Sarto chuckled despite not getting the joke. When he was shoved backwards he looked at him "Ah you are like Brisco then comrade." joking that he just liked to abuse his boy/girlfriends, and that being why he shoved him away. He ignored the glare and said "Well comrade I'm sure you want to work and get paid for your art and let people enjoy it. All I'm asking is one kiss." he had a kind of smirk on his face and put one hand on his hip in a kind of girly pose, not that it mattered in the Hegemony.

[Edenecho]

Jeremy stumbled back a step and put his hand over his face when Brisco punched him. "Because you didn't ask," He said, rather coldly. He lowered his hand and watched as Brisco acted like she actually cared about Bala. "I didn't drug 'her' water. One, I didn't do anything to it, I just got it from Gerelden. And Two, YOU were the one who forced her to drink it, I just offered you some," He said, shrugging. He barely moved when she shoved him, and said,"I didn't drug it. Blame the Gereldian government for drugging our water supply. I actually quite like it, though." He groaned slightly when she punched him in the face again, and put both his hands over his face. "Violet is a goddess. The one and only true goddess. All show bow before her glory, or suffer for it." It was likely getting clear that he was insane. He then shoved past her to head towards the bleachers, his hands still over his nose

Bianca ignored Brisco, until she wiped blood on her clothes. "Hey!" She gasped in a rather high-pitched way. She shot Brisco a glare, then shook her head and kept walking, muttered,"People here sorely lack manners."

{Cliff}
Cliff frowned at Sarto chuckling. He didn't find it funny at all. He looked over at Brisco, then said,"No, for more then one reason. I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, and two, I wouldn't beat them up if I did. I only beat up people who get on my nerves or do something I don't like." He frowned and said,"No, thanks, I'm fine with not dying for it," Then pushed past Sarto and headed for the bleachers, seeming disappointed that the person he had thought he would get along with turned out to be someone who wanted to get into something more then friendship to fast.

[Leslie]

Everyone just sort of stared at Oita when he came up to them and handed them the manifesto, and said it was a crime to be found without one. To a lot of the people, this places craziness just went up a bunch when that was said. None of them hesitated to take the manifesto though, because they didn't really want to be found without one. Especially 10 hours of forced labor being found without one. Which seemed extremely stupid to them, even Jesse. Well, maybe unless he was in that place of power to make laws like that. Then he might think differently. They all pretty much just nodded at him introducing himself, but Selena smiled, if not forced a smile and said, "It's nice to meet you, Oita". She extended her hand to shake his, and said, "My names Selena Aarons".

{Jesse}
Jesse noticed Oita looking at him, and couldn't really tell if he thought he was cute, or could instantly tell that he would likely be up to no good. Either way, he didn't really care that much. But, that didn't mean he was attracted to him back, it just meant that maybe Oita would be an easier person to take advantage of, or something. Really, he didn't actually give a crap about anyone, male or female, and more just liked to use them. He gave Oita

SPOILER: Click to show

this look, which either could be taken as him trying to look 'charming' to him, or the look just gave you the impression that he was up to no good and that you would likely want to sock him in the nose. The latter was probably more likely.

{Shane}
Shane smiled at her, even if she was holding a sniper rifle. It didn't bother him as much as it did to the females, but it made him more uncomfortable then it did for Jesse, who seemed to just like it. "It's nice to meet you Jane. I'm Shane" He said to her, kinda liking her shyness in a way. When she slid her hand in his pocket and took out his IPhone and GPS device, he stared at her, wondering what she was doing. He watched her strangely, thinking she was odd for staring at his IPhone like that. As soon as she had dropped them on the ground he looked horrified, and he looked about twice as horrified when she crushed them to pieces. "My...my phone! My GPS!" He said in a way that sounded like losing those was the worst thing in the world. "How would they hurt me? It's just a phone and GPS device!" He shouted, and he collapsed down onto his knee's, scooping up the pieces that were left. "My sweet phone and GPS device" He said, frowning and looking saddened by the fact they were crushed. If anything, he was being a bigger drama queen then the girls.

Gail just watched everything, not really caring that much. Nobody really payed attention to what was going on with the Gereldan's, and were busy with what was going on here more. Which wasn't a whole lot, other then an over dramatic tech geek and Jesse looking like he was up to no good as usual. Selena and Gail both just went over to the bleachers silently, while the boys stayed for now.

[Alan Haskayne]

Brisco looked even more pissed at Jeremy and asked/shouted "Then why didn't you warn me that your water has drugs in it? You are cruel comrade." she looked in disbelief and said "Your blaming me for this? I didn't do anything to her that I don't usually do." she continued to look pissed and said "No, it is your fault, you should have warned me about this, you should have said something." she seemed to smirk slightly at his pain. When he talked about a goddess she rolled her eyes and said "All fall under the glory of Marx, but because your goddess doesn't exist I guess she isn't." she smirked at what she had just said. When the two left she said "Fucking capitalists."

(Sarto)
Sarto raised an eyebrow and said "Geez comrade, it was only a joke. I didn't believe you would hit anyone who didn't annoy you, most people don't." he raised an eyebrow and asked "What are you talking about? Why would you die?" he watched him leave and sighed. He then looked at Brisco and nodded to what she said then walked off toward the bleachers.

(Oita)
Oita didn't smile but seemed pleased when they took the manifesto. He half bowed and said "Honour to meet you Aarons." he looked at Jesse and thought he looked charming and let a faint smile show, and if you knew him it would be apparent that a slight smile was a lot to him. He continued to look at the guy with a kind of lust in his eyes. He then looked at him and asked "Do you have any interest in the disciplinary commission? We make the rules and enforce them. I am more less in control." he watched him with an expression that showed that some flirting/affection would make him have better standing in the group.

Jane kind of just looked sad at Shane, he was being nice to her, or at least didn't feel scared of her like most people. She frowned at him crying about his phone and quietly said "I'm so so sorry." she frowned at him, he looked so nice, and now she smashed things that were clearly worth a lot to him, she whispered "I'm so sorry comrade." then ran away from them, hugging her rifle tightly to her chest. She quickly moved up and went back to her spot. She sat alone again, and opened the manifesto.

(Bala)
Bala returned from the bathroom after a while and looked over at Jane and Shane and heard their conversation. She frowned and walked over to Shane once Jane had ran off. She walked over and slowly got on her knees and started picking up bits of the phone and GPS. Her uniform (from her pic) had a badge on the right breast that said 'Zepplien Cyberwarfare Division' showing that she was a tech geek like him. She frowned and said "An iPhone, I would have loved to see this, it is illegal here under 5 days hard labour penalty, but I would have still given a lot to see it." she looked at the GPS and saw parts of it were intact, so she picked up a rock and started hitting one of the harder parts. She picked up the broken motherboard from the iPhone and asked "Can I have this Comrade?" she smiled at him, but her cheeks looked like they had been hit, hard.

[Leslie]

Jesse mentally laughed at Oita, because he seemed rather easy to get to like him. Maybe this state of 'power' that he wants will be easier then he had first anticipated. Just because Oita seemed like a rather easy target compared to some people. He loved easily manipulated people. It made his life easier to use people. Though sometimes he did wish people would be a little smarter and more of a challenge, and harder to get at. But here he was, feeling like he could easily get some sort of power out of Oita, if he had a place of power himself. "Not really" He said to him in response to his question. If he recalled what that exactly meant, he'd probably like the exact opposite.

{Shane, the over dramatic tech geek}
Shane just continued to pretty much look at his smashed gadgets with disbelief. Disbelief that they were really gone. Disbelief that they were just smashed without a care in the world for them. But he seemed to generally feel bad for Jane, because she seemed really apologetic about it. "It's alright, I'll get over it" He said to her as she let, and then sighed when she left.

He watched the newcomer, Bala, with curiosity, since she seemed rather interested in the bits and pieces left of his GPS and IPhone. To him they were worth nothing now, so he didn't get the appeal. He looked surprised at what she said. "Why the hell is an IPhone illegal? What's an IPhone going to do?" He asked, blinking in disbelief at what she had just said. He just watched her, and said, "Uh, sure. They serve me no purpose anymore". He hadn't noticed her cheeks seeming to of been hit hard, or he might of said something.
