((haha, no worries.))
"Hey, I'm glad you liked it. I'm currently writing another one about how the Amazon is being cut down at twice the rate that Brazillian authorities are claiming." Adam replies.
"Thanks, Dylan." I say, smiling. "It actually means 'hope', so back in Finland, people think I'm a girl when they see my name on their contact list. But I'm going to be here for an indefinite amount of time, and was planning on giving a hand with the Safeway workers strike. Bring a little green into the red union." I say in a corny joke sort of way.
Everyone who was milling about is now beginning to settle, the meeting should start shortly.

Heikki sits up and looks around. He feels sore, but was not beaten as badly as he could have been. "I'm fine. Who are you?" He asks them. He doesn't know but a few words of German.

I try to shake off nearly being blown over by the helicopter and answer. "Yeah,. I'd like to see home again too. Maybe we should go there sometime, I think my mom would like you."

"You want me to meet your mother? Uh..well, sure, I suppose she would like me. I am a likeable guy."

"Cool. Mind if I come along?" Dylan asks. "I haven't been to a strike in a while."
"I don't know why 'Hope' is a considered a girl's name. You'd think that hope would be for everybody."
((Sorry, I have to get off for the night.))

((Wait a sec, so there was a helicopter outside the cafe?))
"I suppose it would be." Sakari replies, beginning to sense some gender insecurities.
"I have always been pretty thin because I was lazy about my diet, and didn't have to do much to maintain that. It probably stunted my growth." I reply, finishing off my tea, and already beginning to feel a little more mellow.
"I agree, traditions were meant to be broken. I'm glad you took untraditional as a compliment." Sakari states, nodding his head as he does.

Frigga lit a cigarette and inhaled, then exhaled smoothly. She smiled and said, "Das Ende."
Kasimir walked about, eyeing Heikki now and then. Frigga struggled to think of a way to communicate, and wondered if he knew english.
"Do you speak english?" She asked, in a heavilly accented tone.

"Why wouldn't I? I have no attachments to the traditions preserving the structures of capitalism." Cambridge replies.

I sigh and glace out the window. "....great...
I shake my head trying to figure out a way to avoid this fred so I wont seem like a complete ass. "oh... I see...so... fred is he like someone's boyfriend or something?"
I look back at her, feeling uncomfortable just standing without doing anything

"Yes, I speak English." Heikki replies. "You are Das Ende? I am glad to meet some nihilists. The Chechens didn't take well to my ideas which is why I am in this present situation."

(Yes)
"Yes, ummm... You're a nice guy, she'd like you." I all but repeat, suddenly red in the face.

((Goodnight!))
I laugh a little, feeling somewhat flattered by this remark.
"That's right. Gender is a social construct anyways. And I actually brought up the strike in hopes that you would volunteer coming along." Adam stands in front of everyone, up at the podium, and speaks into the mic.
"Hey good to see everyone could make it!" He says, then goes over the announcements, the local events, the election campaign, etc., before he passes the mic to the first speaker.
((This will go on for at least a few days.))

Bassarov wonders why she is blushing. Maybe the cafe is a little warm. "Are you warm? We could go for a walk. It is nice having friends like you...I mean, so dedicated as to follow me here and all when you are not even a socialist."

Frigga raised an eyebrow, Kasimir turned towards Heikki. Both had heard what he said well enough.
"Why would a man like you associate with the Chechens?" Frigga asked, her cigarette dangling from her mouth.
Kasimir leaned in and spoke in Frigga's ear. She nodded, sighed and looked back at Heikki.
"Are you ok to walk?" She asked. "We appear to be international wanted terrorists at this point, and we think it would be wise to retreat back to Germany."

"I'm fine... I just think... that maybe... I LIKE YOU like you..." I still can;t bring myself to say that I love him, mostly because I fear rejection. Generally I feel rather insecure discussing such things...
