April continued to argue with Gustav for some time about pointless crap to be arguing about, because she was in a bad mood at the time and apparently none of them liked to just back down and accept their differences. So who knows what time it was by the time they actually quit their pointless argument.
April just let him snuggle her, and let out a content sigh. Even if it was strange to be cuddling with Gustav, since they were like complete opposites, she was just happy to at least feel loved, so she was just going with it to feel better, and not so depressed and lonely. Sure, there was the saying the opposites would be the best couples, or something like that . But she was one of those people who felt like that was bullshit. It seemed too likely that complete opposites would probably divorce each other easier, just because of their massive differences. The answer to his question he was wondering was no, she had never been snuggled by someone before. Which was partly why she was just going with it. "No, no, it's fine" She said quietly. At what he said about comrades, she frowned again. "Yeah, and I haven't ever really had a comrade until today. I've mostly moved from one foster home to the next my whole life, never really having enough time to make friends. Hopefully I can stay here for a while, if I like it...." She muttered again, and her eyes looked a little watery like talking about it was making her upset. When he took her hands romantically, she actually smiled at him, even if it was kind of a sad smile. When he kissed her cheek, she blushed slightly, and said, "I hope what you say is right". But she couldn't think of anything else to say, or any moves to do, so she would just let him make the moves that he felt like doing, like kissing her cheek and such.
{Edi} "What the heck? Man, I'm sorry, but your country sounds crazy. Would I get shot for saying that if I was in your country?" Edi said, letting out a sigh and shaking his head. He thought of all the things that he had heard about her country, all these things that seemed kind of crazy. It made him glad that he was still in Corrian, and not born in her country. He'd rather not live in fear, and live more at peace here at the school, and in this country. He frowned at what she said. "That is just so wrong. I'm sorry that you would have to deal with that. Here you are free to be any sexual orientation you want, trust me. Most people don't even think anything wrong of it either, because it's just normal" He said to her, and just said nothing to the part where she said he was free to, well, sleep with her. He couldn't think of a proper way to word what he was going to say, so he just said nothing. Which might make things worse, he wasn't sure. He twitched at the next thing she said. "No, it's fine. I don't even know if my girlfriend is still alive or not, so this might even be considered cheating on you...." He muttered, shuddering at that idea. Right now his memory was staying fine, because there was nothing too obvious that was messing with it. Though, when she snapped her fingers, he jumped and seemed a bit confused for a bit, but he hadn't really lost his memory. Just a brief moment of his mind getting confused. He shook his head and just commented on what she said. "Uh, I guess? Some of us anyway" He said, thinking that was a weird question. Then he realized what she was doing next, and he twitched. "Uh, you don't have to, you know..." He muttered, not being able to really speak properly. His eyes seemed to be having a hard time not looking at you-know-what, because apparently his eyes had a mind of their own. "I-I-I'm sorry" He said quickly, and he quickly turned away and started blushing.

Gustav just continued to smile at April, feeling quite content with her, hoping she felt as loved as he was trying to make her feel. After all, this poor girl had spent life without Marx or the State, and to Gustav that made him feel awful for her. He frowned at what she said about not having a comrade before, he shook his head gently at her story, not liking at all how it sounded. He asked as gently as he possibly could "What is a foster home?" having none in Zepplien, and not learning about them he had no clue what they were, but assumed they were something akin to Zepplien Gulags based on her reaction. He rubbed her cheek and said "I'm sure you will like it just fine here, comrade." putting emphasis on comrade as to show she had a friend. He continued to smile and look into her eyes and said "Of course I'm right Comrade." then gently kissed her on the mouth, though made it easy to move away if she didn't want to. Though based on how they started this cuddling it seemed unlikely to him.
(McGee) McGee hit Edi on the shoulder as a warning and said "The Hegemony may be a little.... Extreme, but it is still my home, don't talk bad about it around me. And no, you wouldn't get shot you idiot, if we shot everyone for breathing one bad word about the government we wouldn't have anyone left." she crossed her arms in a kind of annoyed way at him, and given how much weaker the average Corrien was compared to a subject of the Hegemony she might have actually hurt him more than intended. She let out a sigh and shook her head "But sexual orientation makes gender bias, people who are heterosexual will like people of the other gender more, people who are homosexual will like the same gender more." she sighed more and added, sounding a little choked up "We are trained to be bisexual, it is the only way to be equal. I hear some capitalists change sexual orientation too." when he said he had a girlfriend she blushed brightly and punched him in the jaw, hard by Zepplien standards, the people who were given tough military training got hurt by a punch like that, so who knows what it might do to poor Edi. After punching him she covered herself (I'm blending the last parts together for ease of writing) and said "You capitalists are as filthy as they say! Why the hell would you do that if your girlfriend is deployed." to a Zepplien citizen not knowing if your girl/boyfriend was alive or dead ment they were in the military. She turned away from him and buttoned up her uniform again and said "Fucking capitalists." then sat on the bed and took out a small bag she had and started looking through her DVD collection for something to watch, presuming they had a TV. She muttered angry sounding Russian phrases to herself occasionally with the name Edi in them.

April let out a sigh and frowned. She also looked slightly surprised that he didn't know what a foster home was. "It's where parents that aren't your original parents adopt you as their own, after say, your parents die, or are no longer seen worthy to be parents of children. I've gone through so many foster parents that I lost count" She said with a sigh. She smiled faintly when he rubbed her cheek, and she said quietly, "I hope so". She smiled at him, and didn't make any indication to move away from him kissing her. Instead, she gently kissed him back, just because it made her feel more comforted, or something.
{Edi} "Ow..." Edi whined, rubbing his shoulder where she hit him. It acted like it hurt more then it logically seemed like it should of. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bad mouth your country like that. I apologize" He said, frowning. Well, he did mean it, but he didn't realize it'd offend her. He just looked at her crossing her arms, and sighed. "I don't really see anything wrong with that all that much, as long as people respect each others sexual orientation. I mean, I had some really good boy friends that I liked way better then most of the girls I knew, so I don't really think it makes gender bias that much" He explained. He just sighed to what she said next, and couldn't think of anything to say. "OOoohhhhhh" He muttered when she punched him in the jaw, hard. He held his jaw and rubbed it, then moved it around to make sure it wasn't like, broken. "That hurt" He said to her in protest. "What? No. She's not deployed anywhere. And I'm not a capitalist. We got attacked, and I was hit hard and now have serious amnesia. I don't know if she lived through that or died. That's what I meant" He said, still trying to make his jaw feel better. He let out a sigh at her anger towards him, and quietly said, "I'm sorry, I'm an idiot. I made a mistake. Will you forgive me?". While he said that, he stood up and started pacing back and forth in the room.

Gustav tilted his head and asked "What was it like to have parents? I mean even foster parents?" he sighed and said "I never knew my parents either, no one in my country ever has, we are each taken at birth so our parents can't fill our head with capitalist propaganda. My teacher also pointed out that it was because with our armed population they are afraid that people might fight for the future of their children if they knew who they were. He was killed for sedition against the state." he looked like he was going to cry and said "Marx damn it, why couldn't Marx have said something about giving children parents?" he shook his head slightly, and said "I'm sorry comrade, I shouldn't speak about the state this way." when she returned the kiss he smiled slightly and said "Thank you comrade, that was a sweet kiss." he then hugged her and said "I am so glad you are here, I don't know how I would have lasted this capitalist state without you."
(McGee) She sighed at him apologizing and said "Your lucky you aren't in my country, if so you would have been thrown in a mine and not given any food until you moved 20 pounds of ore, not rock, ore." she shook his head and said "Zepplien has a society built on equality, the idea that there is no gender even. We do not care about gender, we judge based on intellect, strength, agility, all that type of stuff. If we started allowing people to like only one gender than society falls apart, we don't see each other as people, we see them as male or female. Equality is greater than freedom comrade." she thought about what he said and actually smiled slightly and said "Awwww, I bet your boyfriend was really cute. I mean see, some non Zepplien people like both genders, like you." she seemed to have totally taken what he said the wrong way. She looked at him threateningly and said "If I wanted to hurt you I would have broken your jaw." she tilted her head "So you were both in the military, I bet your military is fighting a crazy ground war like ours. I mean you would be shocked at how hard it is to fight the Afganistanians and the United States Army at the same time. Couldn't you just ask your government for their records on her, I mean if she is alive then she would be in the military draft." she presented things how she saw them, how Zepplien saw them. She glared at him when he asked her to forgive him and said "I will, if you let me close my eyes, kiss you, run my hands through your hair and call you Owens 50094." she blushed slightly at her own demands, and added "And we watch a movie of mine together."

April looked at the ground, or more appropriately the bed. "I only stayed with one family long enough to really get a liking towards them. Most of them went by so fast that I never really got to know them. And the one I had a liking towards ended up being not so great itself, because the father was an ass" She said with a sigh. "Why did they all leave me? Why? Why did my mom dump me in a trash bin as if I was garbage? Why would you offer to foster someone, only to throw them away a few months later? Why is life so cruel?" She asked him as if he would know, and started to get teary-eyed. She seemed to fight back the urge to slam her first down onto something, too. She frowned at his story, and the only thing she could think to say was "That's awful", and she shook her head back and forth in disbelief. She just frowned some more, not knowing what to say. "It's fine. Talk about it however you want" She said gently, and quietly. She actually blushed at him saying it was a sweet kiss, and she didn't even know why. She also had what looked like an embarrassed smile, which if you were some people, you might think was cute and compliment on it, making things even more embarrassing for them. She returned the hug, and said a simple, "You are welcome". She decided to keep her mouth shut about this place not being a capitalist state, since she didn't really want to start some argument again. She let out a sigh and laid down on the bed, and just stared up at the ceiling.
{Edi} Edi let out a sigh. "Well then, I guess it's a good thing we are not in your country. It doesn't sound very pleasant" He said, not really sure he wanted to insult her country right now. But here he was, insulting it. He just listened to what she said next, and nodded. "I guess I can understand, to an extent anyway. I won't argue against it. But I have to say: Even if you are agreeing with your country, you still are homosexual and not bisexual, like your country wants, right? It seemed that way to me" He said. "Wait, what? I didn't...what are talking about? I-" He said, just cutting himself off and letting out a sigh, because he really did have no freaking clue what to say at this point. He nodded in understanding, and said nothing more on the subject, to avoid having his jaw actually broken. "Did you hear what I said? None of us were employed. Corrian doesn't even have a god damn military. My girlfriend is either dead, or somewhere I have no idea where, and probably mentally scarred, like me" He said. The part about fighting a crazy ground war just kind of went over his head at this point. He seemed rather surprised by her demands, but just shrugged. "Okay....I accept that" He said, and walked closer to her so she could kiss him and do what she wanted to do, like calling him some name he never heard before. "And what movie?" He asked curiously.
{Olivia} Olivia just continued to practice her sword fighting with the teacher.

Gustav gently shook his head and said "I'm sorry to hear that, the scientist I met that was from this nation said that having parents was nice. I guess he didn't have crapy foster parents though." when she said one of her parents threw her in the dumpster he hit the bed and said "What?! That is sick, are are smart and cute and sometimes even funny, how could they do that. If we were in my country and someone tried to do that they would be put up against a wall and shot, no, they wouldn't get a quick death, they would be tossed in a coal mine never to see sun again." he sighed when she said it was awful "Maybe, maybe not so awful now that I know what parents are really like." he smiled at her embarrassment, and thought it was cute but unlike some god that seemed to control her life he wouldn't vocalise that. He moved so he was laying cross ways with his legs off the bed, and he rested his head on her brest, just smiling at her.
(McGee) McGee nodded slightly and said "Those mines aren't pleasant, they are hot, smell awful, and occasionally you find someone who dropped dead." when he called her homosexual she quickly slugged him in the gut for it and yelled "How dare you! You insolent capitalist swine, call me, a loyal subject of the Hegemony a traitor to Marx and state, and indeed even my comrades. You will not say it again, clear?" she seemed enraged, even implying someone was gay or strait was a huge insult in Zep culture, saying it was unheard of unless in a joking manor, and then usually only umung close comrades. She tilted her head at his babbling, bury decided not to comment. She tilted her head and asked "If you weren't in the military then how were you attacked? Terrorists?" crime was practically unheard of in the Hegemony, one of the benefits of being so nuts. When he said yes to her demands she stood up and closed her eyes, kinda setting up a fantasy of hers "Oh Owens, I didn't see you. Of oh course I wasn't just looking around the hockey lockers. I was uh, well." she turned a slight shade of red even though she was imagining things, and said "Oh, I didn't know I was your type, well thank you. I truly thank Marx for my complexion." she then whispered to Edi "Now shove me into the wall violently and kiss me." then stood there with her eyes closed blushing slightly.

April let out a sigh. "I know having parents can suck, and honestly it is probably a really good thing that I don't know my parents. I mean, clearly my mom doesn't care about me if she just leaves me like that. If she took care of me, I bet you anything that she wouldn't actually truly like me and it'd be a worse life" She said with another sigh, and her eyes started to water again. She jumped when he hit the bed, and listened to what he said. "I was a baby when it happened, so I never knew my mom. The only thing they learned was that it was a female that dumped me instead of a male, and they never caught her or anything" She said with a sigh, and shook her head. Talking about her past seemed a little rough on her. She just kept quiet until he rested his head on her breast. In response, she just smiled back because she couldn't really think of anything to do or say.
(Edi) Edi twitched at her description of the mines. He really never liked the sound of doing mining work, so he really didn't have an attachment to the sound of the idea of mines. "That does sound awful" He said with a sigh. He made a groan of pain when she slugged him in the gut, and pretty much doubled over. "Yesm I apologize" He said through a groan of pain. But of course he eventually recovered, at least mostly. "Uh, no. A couple of freaks who attacked us in an alleyway. I think they got arrested, thankfully" He said, sighing at the memory of seeing the terrified look on his girlfriends face, right before having his head bashed open by one of the criminals. At what McGee started, well, in his mind, blabbering about after she closed her eyes, he kind of just stared at her like she was nuts. He continued to make weird faces at what she said, until her last order. "Uh...." Was about all he said, and he hesitated for a bit. But figuring that she wouldn't forgive him until he did what she asked, hey obeyed. And part of him wanted to kiss the girl anyway, and he wasn't entirely sure why. Probably just because he felt like he needed someone, and she was the best option at this point. So he did as she commanded, and he walked up to her and put his hands on her shoulders, and shoved her violently into the wall. Though, it may not seem violent to someone from the Hegemony, because there was an obvious sign of him hesitating to just entirely violently shove her against the wall. After shoving her, he started to kiss her, rather passionately, even though he really had no idea how much she wanted him to actually kiss her. He just couldn't help himself, apparently, and continued to passionately kiss her.

Gustav shook his head and said "April, I'm sure your parents loved you, but maybe they couldn't take care of you, I mean in this country there are people who are hungry, who don't have housing. Maybe your parents were people like that." he tried to sound as comforting as he could, and he seemed good at that. When her eyes became watery again he gently wiped her eyes for her. He listened to her story and got a little teary himself and said "How can people do that to a baby, what was wrong with that woman? I mean she could have given it up right, like to one of these 'foster homes' that you talked about." he noticed the past seemed hard on her and he said "I am here for you comrade." in his usual slightly Swedish accent.
(McGee) McGee nodded and said "Mostly convicts, slaves, and rule breaking adolescents work in mines., it is not a job anyone wants to do." she gruffly nodded when he apologised. She sighed at his story and said "I hope they were tossed in a mine for that." She felt her head whip against the wall when he shoved her and said "Ow!" but with a grin on her face. After letting him kiss her for a while she just kinda pushed him off, given how she was probably stronger than him even if he wanted to continue she just pushed him off. She then smiled and said "I'm sorry, but Owens is the captain of the hockey team back in the school I used to go to. I always wanted to kiss her, never got to. Heard she likes to rough up people as she kisses them." she blushed at her own story. She then walked over to her little pile of stuff and picked up a DVD case that said 'From Corrien with Love.' and said "One of my favorites, well favorite new ones." then walked to their TV and put it in. It started when she pressed play, it had some ads for other movies and TV shows, as usual, but had no rating system like usual movies. She pressed pause real quick and pressed some buttons and said "Forgot you can't speak Russian, I turned on the English dub."
The movie started with the capital city of Corrien and the subtitles said 'Corrien ZSH, Newest Province of the Hegemony' and a Zepplien official was talking to an actor who looked remarkablly like the president of Corrien and said "For the last time Viceroy, we need the Corrien military to mobilize, our flank is collapsing under the might of the combine UN strike force." the President person said "The Corrien military serves the glory of the Hegemony of course, but I'm afraid mobilizing may leave Corrien ZSH unprotected against the Chinese task force attacking Atlantica." the Zep diplomat grumbled and said "Very well, I will inform the High Admiral of your army's choice." the diplomat walked off, and the camera zoomed out, showing Zep airships painted with Corrien nation colours and military vehicles with the same colours.

"That is no reason to abandon your daughter like that! At least have the decency to abort them, or give them a foster home or put them in an Orphanage! If they loved me they'd do something other then throw me away like I'm trash!" April shouted, then took a deep breath to calm herself down before she got too emotional. She liked that he sounded comforting, but it was clear that she was angry and upset that her parents would do such a thing. She actually smiled faintly, even if it was a sad smile when he wiped her eyes for her. "Yeah....." She said quietly. "I used to fret about wanting to find my mom, but now I don't want nothing to do with her" She added. She smiled at what he said, and said, "Thank you".
(Edi) Edi just nodded and listened to the first part of what she said, not really having anything in particular to say about it. He shook his head. "I don't think so. They might be doing community work of some sort, but as far as I know they got arrested and thrown in jail or prison, and that's all I know" He said to her. Being him and apparently being kinda weird at the moment, he enjoyed kissing McGee for a while, even if he had a girlfriend that might still be alive somewhere. It was strange that he didn't know either way, but he didn't know, so that was that. He was fine with being shoved, and obviously didn't really stop it from happening. He listened to her story, and nodded slowly. "I don't think I need to ask what you mean by 'roughing them up', so I will just leave it at that" He said with a chuckle. Not that he would of minded a ton . He followed her to the DVD's, and raised an eyebrow at the name of it. Again, he just followed her around, nodding when appropriate, and waited for this strangely-named movie to begin.
Pretty much as soon as the movie started, he raised an eyebrow and blinked a few times. At the mention of the 'Corrian Military", he seemed even more confused, wondering what 'military' it was referring to. But, he figured it was just a movie, and went along with it, and it wasn't to be taken seriously. He did make note of the fact the actor looked a lot like their president. "Man, he looks remarkably like our president" He said to McGee. To the rest of the movie, he seemed to just raise eyebrows and watch it without a word, though he thought it was a very odd movie about what appeared to be Zep taking over Corrian, which was an idea he wasn't too fond of....but would probably be rather easy to achieve, so he was really hoping it was just a movie and not an idea they actually had to do.
