General IX
Ugh... I hate foreign countries. You never know where to go, what to do. Hmm... I might be able to just slip onto a train. I can read the maps fairly well. Just have to find one that goes to the airport. Or I could just find a park and call the 50 over.
I think I might do that. I crossed the street near the train station entrance and then headed back the way I came from. I passed a bench on the way as I pushed through the people.
The less time I have to spend here now, the better.

Tod slowly stood up and began to follow IX before reaching out and tapping him on the shoulder. "General?" he says softly, not meaning to startle him or anything, but kept his guard up just encase he flinched or snapped.

I continued to walk, but didn't look behind me, or react in any obvious way other than speaking. "Yes Tod?" Anyone that knows me would know I said that in a rather... depressed way.

It didn't take a genius to detect that he was upset... heck, a normal no-brained non-sentient could detect that! "What's wrong..?" he asks, stepping closer and resting a hand on his shoulder, trying to soothe him in some shape or form. "Come on... you can tell me, can you not?" he knew that if it wasn't too sensitive, he would speak up, or so he hoped... after all, they had been close friends for so long that it was practically at the point of sharing secrets... right?

General IXI sat down. "Did I ever tell you about my family? Or rather, why I hate to talk about it?"

He shook his head and sat down next to IX. "Sadly no... I was told by Luca to never speak of it, why?" he suspected it must have been something bad to upset him like this... but he couldn't figure out what.

I was told by Luca to never speak of it, why?" he suspected it must have been something bad to upset him like this... but he couldn't figure out what. General IX"Back when I was... 6... 7 maybe. I don't remember. Anyway, there was a big family reunion. Almost everyone in my family was there. Well, my father had made some very dangerous enemies in his time. And that night they decided to attack. "I managed to hide in a closet and they didn't find me... but... they slaughtered the rest of my family. I watched some of it from between the cracks in the door. When I heard sirens, I left the closet... and that's where most of the damage came from. Mother was dead on the floor with a hole in her head. "Must have been... well over 100 years ago now, but whenever someone mentions my family, I just remember that night and the smell of blood and... gunpowder I guess. I never really cared what was in those bullets. All I know is that my family was dead on the ground. "And of course, when I was having a great day, some ass named Orillion or something brings up my family when he called me about something. I don't even know who that was..." I then started to cry. Damn it...

Tod listened to every word as he sank deeper and deeper... well, at least he didn't have his past. "That's... horrible hun..." he says softly, leaning in and licking away the tears from his cheeks, then smiling softly at him. "But I'll tell ya what... you can nail Orillion after this... I am sure he didn't mean it, okay?" he pats him on the back, and then draws him closer into a gentle hug. "I know you must miss your family IX... but don't think about them, they're in a better place, regardless of what they did..."
He then sighed and pinned his ears back to his head, beginning to think about his own past. "Maybe sometime we could trade secrets... and learn about each other more" he gave a coy smile toward him, then slinked back just a tad, nosing at his cheek again, trying his best to be cute, and cheer IX up somehow...

General IXSo... I guess he knows Orillion. No big deal. I pulled him closer and gave him a tight hug. Not too tight though. "Thank you for being there for me... and yes, I would like to know more about you at some point." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and then said, "You're a great friend..."

Tod blushed darkly and smiled happily at the kiss, then chuckled softly. "As are you, and you're quite welcome!" he grins and then began to rub down his back with a soft purr escaping him. "I can stay with you to make sure you're cared for... heck, I have nothing better to do!" he knew his job..,. but that could wait just a little while. "And maybe I can teach you how to use this too..." he put on a glove and spread his fingers, the wires between them looking like a spiders web, a bola of wire being seen on the wrist of the glove.

General IX"Hmm... I had a golf game with the Cali Chancellor. We were going to discuss a solution to the trade situation, but I think being with you would be more fun. I have my Colonel dealing with the golf hopefully." I whispered to him, "Plus I had to get an idea of the naval defenses for my battleship. It should be coming due south now and about five days out." I think I can trust him with that information. I don't see why he'd tell other people about it.

He nodded at the whisper before chuckling softly and scratching the back of his head. "Seems like we both have business with those defenses..." he says quietly, knowing Aki would be waiting... but they wouldn't meet until later on in the day, or at night. "So, whacha wanna go do?" he asks, perking a brow and smiling, he had a few ideas, but he wanted to see IX's ideas first.

You'd probably have better ideas of what to do."

Alinatie waved his golf club in the air it was older than he was....that was saying something. He was wearing a tweed suit that looked to be as old as him at least. Tailinto was dressed in a heavy skirt and jacket, even though it was summer the winds did come straight in from the artic some times on the links course. The winds were cold and strong today, it was not a day for warm weather clothes on the course and definitely not one you wanted to be on the beach for.
Tailinto was looking at her blackberry like com, she smiled "Got him!" Alinatie looked at her. "We got the head of the merchantman's association on tax evasion and he is singing like a bird." she smiled. "Good to hear, I thought there was meant to be two of them." Alinatie said as he put his tweed flat cap on. Tailinto muttered "So did I, I think he ain't the general....Yes, we have the people's names involved in this shit. I was right....now if he can get them to go for our plan we should have things sorted by lunch the morn." Alinatie smiled "And have nice run up to the election and my seat might still be winnable." "I thought you weren't standing." "I'm not and my seat really shouldn't be mine...but I would like the new chap to have a chance." "Chappess."

Colonel Nakhi Welhan
I saw two people and assumed that they were the ones I was going to want to speak with.
I headed toward them, with IX's clubs still. If it comes down to me playing this, I guess that I will have to use these.
I walked up to the two and said, "I am Colonel Welhan. I apologize, but the General was unable to make it. Soon after arriving, he began to feel sick and walked off. I have no idea where he is."
