"Well, I'm Lysander. Its nice to meet you, Cambridge. "
"I was only told this was a socialist place; my cousin told me and he didn't specify. Thats why I came here. I probably should have asked, but im lazy like that. I'm acutaly more of a Trotskyist."
I hate making mistakes, but yet I seem to do it all the time. Am I amazing or what?

"Oh well, that's okay. I do know a Trotskyist staying in the city. His name is Sakari. He would be able to help you out if you are interested."

"Yah, thanks. I'd be interested."
Finaly, I can get together with somemore Trotskyists.
"Thats really great of you to help me out. I appreciate it. So, can you tell me what this city is like? I just got here and I havent really had time to look around."

"I'm from England, so I don't know Helsinki well. I am a reporter for my party so I came here to report on the anarchist convention and the WTO protests the other day." Cambridge says as sie leads Lysander back to the room. When sie arrives back sie sees that Sakari must have stepped out for a moment.
"Sakari should be back soon. He is a good fellow. He's Finnish so if you have questions about the city you could ask him."

"Dude! Im English too! Sweet!"
"Yah, Ill be sure to ask him. You say there was an anarchist convention? How'd that go? Did the police break it up? From what I've heard all the police and governements are really cracking down hard on the anarchists. No one go hurt, did they?"

"The convention went well. Better than the socialist convention the Trotskists had a few weeks ago. (where the party leadership was arrested) It was a good meeting. But the WTO protest turned out to be a full riot. I was even arrested, and all I was doing was writing things down for an article."

"That stinks. The police really piss me off. As of late, it just seems to me that they are completly overstepping their bounds. It just shows you how frightened they are of all the anti-capitalists."

Sakari comes into the hotel room, his arms full of twinkies, a six pack of soda dangles off of his index finger, and a bagel rests in his mouth. One would wonder how he managed to get his card key into the door.
I bite down on the bagel, and it falls on top of a box of twinkies, then swallow hard.
"Ahhh hey. Do I know you?" He asks Lysander.
((Be back in a little bit))

"Hey Sakari, good to see that you're back." Cambridge says to him as he enters the room. Sie is no longer as upset with him as sie was earlier.

I see the guy walk through the door. Must be Sakari.
"Hi. Im Lysander. You must be Sakari."
I would offer my hand to shake, but his hands are full.

"So tell us a littel about yourself, Lysander. You said you are a socialist, have you been one long and have you been involved with any political activities or groups before?"

"Well, see, not really. A year ago, I moved away from my family and decided to become a Trotskyist. I decided to create my own organization for tax purposes, which was kinda cheap, I know. So, I really have been just going to small protests in the UK and stuff. Ive never been in a party organization and Im kinda new to the whole socialist thing."

"All of the leaders of the 4th International have been arrested...or at least most of them. So that movement is kind of having a hard time right now. My party has been pretty fortunate, since we've been left alone."

"Well, that just means the 4th international needs to have a meetng and elect new leadership thats all. Someone should really get on top of the whole thing. In my opinion, anyway."

"Yeah I am not sure what they are up to with that. Maybe they are holding out hope that their leaders will return... I don't know."
