"Yeah that would be cool," Linnea says with a smile. "I would love to take you."

"Good good. I really don't think asceticism goes with socialism, I suppose we don't have any strict set of rules, but I personally feel it would be denying part of life. Asceticism is oppressive, and it's bad enough religions have that kind of thing. Why attach it to politics as well." Bassarov says as they walk.

"Well walking to the park is always fun." I say. I listen to Valodya and Alejos talk. "What exactly is asceticism anyways?" I ask, confused.

"That's the argument he made," Alejos says, thinking of that discussion with Trotsky... well, shoulder-Trotsky.

"As long as we were talking about secrets with the names and stuff, we should continue with the conversation..."
"How about life. We can talk about that. What do you want from life?"

"An act of self denial. It can be food, comfort, or in Alejos' case, sex. But yeah, anything you deny yourself for some higher purpose." Bassarov explains.
"I practice an asceticism to alcohol actually."

"I don't know I pretty much have everything I want. I mean I have art and that makes me happy, and helping others that makes me happy too. That's all I really want." She left out on purpose the part about wanting a male companion that she could turn to, but she didn't want to sound needy or something that would turn Garret away.

"Cool. Yeah, I don't have any long term goals. I just want to be happy. I want to be my own person and have fun."
"But I would like to learn more about art too. I don't want to sound so dumb the next time we talk."

"Not a bad substance to give up." Masha said. She didn't drink too often herself. She didn't like its affects on her.

"Oh." I state. "I like a good drink but I could live without it... But how can you give up sex? I don't think I could..." I say. Sure the only person I've slept with for almost a year now is Bassarov, but it's beside the point.

"Actually, my asceticism was to all things not pertanent to global proletariat revolution," he said matter-of-factly.

"Okay, so if we dated in another life, how do you think we got together?"
"Here is my imaginary story.."
"I think that I came over, and found out that you had a dark room. I took photography in high school and wanted to check it out. So we spent some time together talking and stuff, then you developed some photos, and I kissed you. That's how it all started in my pretend life."
"Okay. So, you don't happen to have a dark room do you?"

"Um the last time I checked no, but I can make one," she was kinda bad at making jokes.
