A. [Action: Sidewalks of Town]

[All these confessions have Crowley weirded out. So he's going for a stroll. He can be found all about town.]


B. [Action: Olney's Tavern]

[Crowley's off duty and sitting at a table nursing a Manhattan.]



((ooc note: Crowley's at Level 2. Come talk to him and watch him get increasingly uncomfortable at his lack of ability to deceive.))

[A young woman, also lost in thought bumps into him accidently.]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Please, pardon me.

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley automatically reaches out to steady the unfamiliar woman. When he realizes what he's doing, however, he shoves his hands into his pockets.]

No harm, no foul.

[A frown.]

[She smiles.]

I really am sorry. I've been a bit distracted today. The whole town is acting strange again...

[eyesofaserpent]

No need to apologize, really.

Huh... Yeah... Seems like everyone's having a field day unloading things they'd kept a secret...

And they keep telling everyone that they're communists. I honestly wish I knew what that meant. It sounds like the town really hates them.

[eyesofaserpent]

Communists?

Honestly it's nothing more than a different way of thinking. Capitalism, like America has, is all about people trying to get to the top. a small handful of people rise above the base. In theory, anyone can rise to the top, but obviously some people have more opportunities than others. Communism is more about everyone being on the same level. No one individual has more than another.

Or at least, that's what the basic idea of it is. It's never really successfully been achieved in any societies as far I've seen. Most of those societies end up fucked by a corrupt government.

The only reason a place like Mayfield would be so bloody against communists is because of the Cold War that was happening between America and the USSR. America got their panties in a tight little wad and called all commies the enemy because they were different and therefore evil.

Oh, I see...

So it was all about equality? But it didn't work....

[She sighs.]

There's always someone who just wants a little bit more than everyone else, isn't there?

[Just like Dehuai, and Albert Simon...]

[eyesofaserpent]

I think it's a part of the human condition.

[smallestgrave.livejournal.com]

Oh, but not everyone is like that! I think that most people really are good. Even if they don't know it.

[eyesofaserpent]

I disagree. Most people are just potential. They can be infuriatingly good and then turn around and be unfathomably evil.
