"I joined the ISO about a year ago, when I first started college. I wouldn't say I'm too educated when it comes to all socialist ideas, but I'm learning." Masha offered them a little insight on who she was. She was fairly new to socialism, so she still had much to learn. She was hoping talking with them would help her some.
Masha turned to Alex when she mentioned she was a model. Masha nodded and gave her a friendly look. She was pretty enough to be a model. "I'm a lifeguard...During the summer, at least."

"Well, I...uh..."
Im getting kinda nervous; this PDA is a little much.
"I go to protests, rallies, sign pettitions, that kinda stuff. To help people, you know?"

"Aleksandra, behave or else we won't invite you out any more." Bassarov scolds the capitalist girl.
"Oh so you are new to the movement. I am fairly knew, but have learned quite a bit in recent months. And the ISO? They were not at the convention so they still have their leaders. I haven't met anyone from the ISO before. But really we believe about the same things."

This is my dream come true. Now that I look at Masha for a bit, I could see her being a life gaurd. And shes smart, and not blonde for once... Why does the lord torture me so? As soon as I find another of my dumb blonde girl friends, a finaly get introduced to a good one. Oh well, she probably likes Valodya anyway.
"ISO, hu? Fun."

I frown and leave Lysander alone.
I cross my arms and listen quietly to the others talk. How annoying.

"I like it, though I must say I am a little desprate to learn more. I am sometimes at a loss when I speak to those in ISO back home." Masha admitted with a smile. She glanced at Lystander when he spoke. He seemed like a nice guy, but quiet. And, though she didn't know his girlfriend all that well, not the best taste in women. Masha wasn't that attracted to the model. She was, after all, a capitalist.
"So any help you can offer, I would appreciate it." Masha said as she glanced between the two other socialist.

Bassarov turns to Lysander and suddenly feels competitive with the younger comrade. He doesn't show this.
"I would love to take the time to tell you everything I know. There is just so much. Lysander here is newer to the movement as well. Much newer than me. But I am sure we both could help you learn more." Bassarov replies, subtly saying that he is more experienced and knowledgeable about socialism than Lysander.
"I have a ton of reading material back in my room if you are interested in borrowing anything after we eat. I would lend you whatever you like."

Masha smiled at both the men, thankful to have someone to help out. She seemed oblivious to the competitive feel Valodya felt. Though, she wasn't. She just chose not to acknowledge it. Masha turned to Valodya.
"That would be appreciated." Masha said, her tone friendly and upbeat.

Bassarov orders a sandwhich and a diet coke. He eats it contently as he thinks of things to discuss with her.
"Anyway, the ISO and the 4th International are both Trotksyist movements. However, your group has its own international. I see no reason why the two groups couldn't work together, since we are both so similar."
"I have been very busy though. I just returned from Moscow and before that I was in Chechnya. These are exciting times for us. I am not sure where I will be traveling next. Right now the hot spots for revolution seem to be in South America."

Cambridge laughs at Felix. He is a funny fella.
"Let's go back inside and visit with Jose, Erich, Soledad, Tom and Alejos. We need to get planning." Cambridge suggests. Sie heads back into the hotel and assumes the others will follow. Once inside, sie goes up to the room where the other socialists.
"Hello everyone. We should start organizing something."

"Yah. Chechnia, wow. That was fun. In fact, thats where I met Valodya. You see, the Chechens had captured him. Me and my friends went in to save him. It was pretty cool. They set off a bomb, though. That wasn't fun. Poor Valodya was hurt pretty bad, but hes fine now, thank goodness. Man, that was an adventure."
I look over at Alex. I remember her now! She was there!

Nea and Niko head back to the apartment, Nea cleans up the kitchen and the living room and then heads back to her room, picking up a book. Reading a bit, she eventually falls asleep.

Jose turns his head toward Alejos
""Ah Yo Estoy bien. Y tu ?
He rose to his feet and saw Cambridge, Sakari, and Felix return.
"Hey again guys, I guess we could plan something."
