Bassarov wakes up after an unpleasant night of sleep. He tossed and turned and isn't quite sure if he slept at all. He takes a shower, gets dressed, and decides to make something of his day. He will first stop by the Helsinki HQ of the 4th Internationale, then perhaps see Henna about that job and when he can start.
He leaves his room and sets off to the 4th Internationales HQ. The office is open and he goes inside to see if they are organizing anything or at least having some forums. Niilo Ukkonen, their leader has been gone for a few months so things are in disarray. He figures that he might ask Henna if she wants to fill his position while he is gone. It looks like they need some help.

Frieda's face drains of color and she stares back at Bonifaz. "I...am scared...because of when I first met you," she pauses for a moment looking at him. "I feel as if we already have some sort of connection."

Once I got home, I put the food in my broken mini fridge and took the drugs to my room. I sat down on my bed and assorted my drugs. I wanted to take them right now but if I did, puking all over the place. I put my deugs in the shoe box and put it under my bed. I then lay down on my bed, I slowly closed my eyes and dozed off to sleep.

"That can sometimes be a good sign...so, you shouldn't be so alarmed. But I am more laid back and experimental when it comes to morality, most simply because I do not believe in it. It is a human invention." He kisses her on the cheek, but stands up to give her a lecture.
"Take the family for instance. Most societies have laws against incest, but not all. Not Ancient Egypt, Hawaii, or the Mixtec people of Mexico. Not to mention Euopean royal families. Icelandic folklore as well as Greek mythology often deal with the theme of incest. And genetic sexual attraction is sometimes experienced by brothers and sisters who we raised apart, as they never were impacted by the Westermarck effect, a phenomenon where sibblings and close relatives are psychologically imprinted not to be attracted to one another."
"I think for something to be wrong, it must be universally wrong, across all cultures and in all circumstances, but, it isn't. This is just one example of many things which are taboo in society, but hasn't always been and isn't across all cultures..."

Its has been a long day for me in Seoul. I played different jazz songs from my favorites Jazz musicians like Doc Cheatham. Not many people who walk passed me did not gave me any money but told me that they love the way I played. After a while, I stopped playing and put away my sax in its case. Then I grab my sax case and started heading to my apartment

I head downstairs and notice that Helvi has a friend with her. He is an attractive young man, who I assume must be a socialist or an anarchist. I have had some time to cool off since my little argument with Shura, and thus, am able to greet them with some level of calmness.
"Well hello, I am Salome, and this house actually belongs to a relative of mine. As you may have guessed I am an anarchist."
"I was just about to leave for a defense commitee meeting." I inform Helvi and Vissarion.

"Oh hi Salome. This is Vissarion. He met me in the park and is here to meet with different political groups. He's a Trotskyist." I say cheerily. I smile at Vissarion and then at Salome.
"Where is Lilia? I haven't seen her around."

"Ah...Lilia, Lilia decided to steal Shura's money and run away. A real pity. I am sure she'll be missed around here." I reply to Helvi and am a little angry that she brought up Lilia. Seriously, is she that naive?
"Nice to meet you Vissarion. We have another socialist staying here from the WSM. Hir name is Cambridge. You should talk to hir if you get the chance."
"Well, I think I am off. Tell Shura that I went to the meeting if you see him. Have a good afternoon and sorry that I couldn't chat longer. Perhaps later. I could tell you about everything we've done here in Paris." I say mostly to Vissarion.
I grab my bag and head out the door for the meeting. Shura promised to attend as well, but I am sure he won't. He hasn't been that politically involved lately.

"See you later, Salome." I say after as she heads out.
"Well Vissarion, I don't know where my friend Zivon is, but why don't I get some lemonade for you while you are waiting. I really like Zivon. He is a lot of fun." I head to the kitchen to get Vissarion some lemonade, which takes a while since none is made and I have to make some from a concentrate. When I am done, I remember the flowers I picked for Zivon. I bring Vissarion his lemonade then head up to Zivon's room with the flowers. "I have something for you Zivon.." I say, holding the bouquet of weeds and wildflowers behind my back.

Vance visits a while longer with Lisa Ryder before heading back to his office. The meeting with her lasted longer than he expected, and when he arrives back at his office, he has a pile of work to look over. He sits down and starts looking over reports and takes peek at his agenda for the next week. Suddenly the head of the Office of Commercial and Business Affair marches into his office and seems very upset. He rants on how French anarchists are seizing American assets as well as French ones, and how the new president is not handling the situation well enough. He recomends military action, which doesn't settle well with Vance.
"Well, well now, I am sure that things will blow over. We are overentended in the middle east at the moment, and we have Germany to worry about as well. But, I will speak to the president and recomend stronger actions. I am sure political and economic sanctions would be useful for the time being."
"It is just some radicals, things will pitter out. I give it a few weeks before order returns." Ashland assures the office head.

Frieda sits there a little dumbfounded. What he said was very valid although he could have used another example. Sitting there she said nothing before she leaned back and made herself a little more comfortable on the couch.

"That's just the way I look at things Freida. What is wrong? Nothing. People say murder is wrong, but it isn't wrong when done by a nation as war or the punishment of criminals. It isn't wrong when it is the unborn. It isn't wrong in self defense. It isn't wrong when it is through poverty. It isn't wrong when it is through preventable diseases. We're all murderers simply by participating in a murderous society. There is no innocence or goodness in this world. Just a lot of lies to justify which morals are the latest fashion.." He goes on, waving his hand as he speaks. When he is done, he sits down next to her and is thoughtful for a moment.
"Rommel...he's an interesting fellow. I am not sure what my mother ever saw in him."

Frieda sees clearly what he is talking about and is a little more at ease that he used another example. But her face flushes again, at this new comment. "What?"

Sakari walks aimlessly around Helsinki and sees that Valodya walks into a random building. He decides ot follow him and notices that there are lots of leftist posters hung up. He sneaks up behind Valodya.
"Whoa, is this like our headquarters or something?" I ask, stupidly.

"I could have mentioned this before, but my mother was married to him, her second husband. It is no big deal really. Nothing is a big deal." He says, looking at his nails. He looks up at Freida as if this new piece of information is nothing.
"That's why Rommel dislikes me. But really, I have done more for him than he would care to admit. I had his political enemies killed. It was Das Ende, the nihilist group I founded, that paved the way for his own party to take power."
"He needs me..." Bonifaz says arrogantly.
