"Yeah we will have to keep an eye on them. Especially the one that tried to fight us."
They get back and she nods. "Oh boy. Sounds like we need to go now to get things cleaned up. Well if he wants a fight then we will give him a fight."
"Oh, ok. I didnt know that so that makes a lot of sense. But I am still concerned that he might zone out during a fight."

New Fiat Currency
With a desire to expand the economic capabilities of the State, and by that way the People, the Provisional Government has ordered the disenfranchisement of the current silver and gold backed guilder. In its place, will be new currencies - the florin, and the cruzeiro. The plan is for the cruzeiro to be instated as the “People’s Money” which can only be used within the nation. Meanwhile, the Florin will be the international currency. Only the Florin will be able to buy plane tickets out of the nation, foreign goods, etc. Across the nation all people will be paid in cruzeiro, except in various “Special Economic Zones” which will function using the Florin. There are to be 20 SEZ in various cities across the nation/colonies, where people can access Florins. However, once outside the SEZs, the florin is worthless. The cruzeiro can be used even in the SEZs. The fixed value of a cruzeiro is to be 1 CRZ to 1 Stuiver (0.94 USD) and one florin equals 0.25 guilder (2.36 USD.) This will be a major step to modernizing the Arcadian economy, and will strengthen the power of the People.
“Yes . . .” He says. “Including the rightfully Arcadian lands that the French stole from us?”
He laughs and runs towards the men, hurling fire balls at the two women, causing them to collapse and writhe in pain. “Burn baby, burn!”
“Yep, and we’re moving now.” Oscar says, walking to the door. Once everyone was ready, they head to Hartford in a couple of groups, they were stood on the outskirts just outside the massive veil that had been casted over most of the city, Oscar frowned.
“Alright, we’re going in.”
“Well yeah…that’s worrying, same with his ability, that isn’t something you want being used brazenly.” Alex says, then Holly walks back over with Angel.
“He hadn’t gone far, Henry was dealing with a curse so he’s just talking to a GOC rep.” She says.
“Yes.”
He laughs and does somthing he only saw his mother do once. He himself turns into a rainbow hound, with firefly eyes and smoke for hair. He lunges at a man, and rips his throat out, before slashing at one of the girls. The ground is soaked with blood.
Brigid gets ready and when they get to Hartford she looks around. "Lets do it." She makes sure her sword is ready and then heads in with the rest.
"Good to know." She is glad when Holly comes over with Angel. "It seems like there were a number of curses around today."

They start to head in, after a little bit of searching they can see that a lot of cursed spirits had been released here, Oscar stepped forward, looking for any sign of more powerful curses, then Kenjaku started to walk over, stepping down the street.
“Ah, good, you followed me. I was hoping that you’d take part in what I have planned.” Kenjaku says.
“They’ve gotten worse recently.” Alex says.
“We should get back, they’re gonna want us to go to Hartford soon.” Holly says.
Brigid looks around and sees a lot of cursed spirits but is focused on finding Kenjaku. When she hears him and sees him start to walk over sher glares at him. "The only thing we will be doing is taking you out!"
"I wonder if this is part of Graham's plan."
“Is that so?” Kenjaku asks, summoning a large cursed spirit. It has a mostly shadowed form, as if the curse was making the area around it darker. All that can be seen are three pale arms, and three human faces, alongside several skin covered bones making up most of the curse, it has one large, elongated head.
“This is the darkness curse, representing humanities fear of darkness.” Kenjaku says, he laughs a bit.
“Come on now Brigid, you think I would risk fighting you or Oscar Yahn directly? Especially at a time like this.”
“Maybe, and maybe by going to Hartford we’re taking the bait, but…still.” Holly says.
“We shouldn’t be so flippant.” Alex says, sighing.
“How can’t we realise that we keep dying because of how reckless some of us tend to be.” Alex adds.
Brigid gets her sword out and prepares to attack the curse. "I didnt think that but you were dumb enough to hang around Connecticut so maybe you arent as smart as you think." She throws a couple of fireballs at the curse and then strikes at it.
"Maybe so but we need to go there to back up team one."
She pauses and thinks for a minute. "You do have a point Alex, how many people need to die before the higher ups realize that charging into things is not the right idea?"
“Bringing Ursallia Back to Arcadian holding.”
Eventually they are all dead, and Yu is collecting the blood. “Wow. You did good•
Parliament Suspended:Elections coming soon?
Acting Prime Minister Donald has suspended parliament today leading people to believe that snap elections are coming soon. This has been expected ever since Prime Minister Blaine resigned but we did not think that it would take this long. Curiously he did not announce that this was for elections or announce any date so we will have to see what is going on with that. It appears that Foreign Minister and current Acting Prime Minister Donald will be leading the National Party into the elections. The Scandinavian Unionists will be led by Karolina Hrafnasdottir again but the other parties have not made their leaders known yet. It will be interesting to see what happens as the public has a dour mood after the lost war and all that happened. The military is still being quiet about their meetings but they are planning something and the royalists also seem to be planning something as well. The DJ2 is keeping an close eye on what is happening and makig sure that things are safe and secure.

Animal Farm
The people finally have had enough. The plantation owners are gone, having fled to Australia. Rationalist strong holds in the Greenbelt have been vanquished, and now, 200 million hectares of farmland lie dormant in South America - not to mention all the corrupt Roman farms in Morocco, Algeria, and Iraq. Therefore, the Provisional Government has declared that the People are to be the true owners of the farms. With plans to buy out all owners, the plan will spend roughly 100 billion USD, and over the course of two years collectivise the farms. Arcadia is entering a new light - one of freedom from the bourgeoisie, and under the heel of the proletariat.
The curse makes the street dark, it seemed to be able to sap the light from any surface, making it hard to keep up with it. When it became light again Kenjaku and the curse had both moved, Kenjaku smirks.
“Connecticut was a natural location for me, I’ve been conducting most of my operations in New York and the eastern seaboard, aside from seeking out Kanedo’s fingers that is. Your failure at Stamford, the loss of exorcists and me being able to gain Mahito’s technique were massive boons to me.” Kenjaku says, Min and Oscar both draw weapons and try to make a move, But Kenjaku summons in another curse to distract them. He smirks.
“Speaking of which, I finished extracting Mahito’s technique for a one time use, I think it’s time to begin.” He says, setting his hand on the floor, he stands back up. Kaine looks around.
“What…did he do?” Kaine asks, Kenjaku chuckles.
“I used Mahito’s technique to accomplish one main thing, I altered several pre selected targets to adjust their brains to be curse-users.” He says, pulling out a string of paper, he tears it.
“As well as this, I had force fed cursed objects to targets over the years, these cursed objects acted like Kanedo, those older curse-users had been given new bodies, they just couldn’t act while that seal was in place, well I just tore it, now I have the players, as well as you exorcists and myself, I believe the games can begin.” Kenjaku says, smirking, Min’s eyes widen as Oscar prepares to try and attack.
“I thought Stamford would be enough…” Alex says.
“Oh come on, when you sign up for this you know what you’re getting into…it’s sad but, well, that’s just the way it is.” Holly says.
Kamashito, having been a working man in his youth, shakes his hand and smiles.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, premier, to what do I owe this pleasure?”
Brigid is silent for a minute, processing and trying to figure out what Kenjaku is saying. She strikes at the darkness demon.
"I guess so. Lets go to Hartford then, we should be there to back up team one. Lord knows that they need it."
Kenjaku pulls the darkness curse back, removing it from the fight. He clicks his fingers.
“As of now, the games have started, all players have been teleported into Hartford, good luck exorcists.” Kenjaku says, warping away using Sarah’s technique. Oscar looks around.
“Alright what’s happened?” He asks, trying to figure something out, then a small curse spirit flies down, the curse is holding a bit of paper:
Rules:
1. Players score points by ending the lives of other players
2. Points are determined by the game master, as a general rule though, regular humans are worth one point, cursed spirits are worth 10 and Exorcists/Curse-users are worth 20
3. Upon entering the barrier, you are immediately considered a player
4. Upon entering, players cannot leave the game.
5. Players may expend 100 points to negotiate adding a new rule or changing an existing rule.
Oscar reads this and then looks at the other exorcists.
“It’s some f*cked up game, and we’re players, okay then, guess we’re doing this.” Oscar says, sighing. Catherine and Marie look at each other, a bit worried.
They head back to base, no one was there. Holly sighs.
“I guess…we wait?” She asks, then Isabel walks over, she was waiting in the lobby.
“They’ve all head out, to Hartford.”
"We of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics wish to welcome the newest player in the world's game of chess to the table. Come, take a seat."
The Premier gestures to an open seat at the table. Standing behind Kirov as he sits are two KGB Officers, in dress uniform and black gloves.
"We would like to have a discussion about your plans for the United States and any problems you may be having. Seen or unseen. Trust me when I say that this is a secure area, and you can speak your mind."
“Free movement, small military presence, alliance, free trade.”
“Thanks.”
Brigid looks around. “The hell did he mean by the games have started?” She looks around again. “Well if we are players then we need to figure out how this game works then, right?”
“They already are in Hartford? Lets go to Hartford then, they need us there as backup.”
“Looks like we need to kill other players to get points, and we have to take part.” Oscar says, Min thinks.
“Can I see the rules?” Min asks, then one of the floating cursed spirits appears next to him showing the rules.
“Oh. Right, so 100 points to add a rule? I have two ideas, a rule that lets players transfer points to other ideas, and one that allows players to leave.” Min says, Kaine nods.
“No wait, they’re going to call when they need backup, last thing I want to do is send you guys into something like Stamford if they don’t need help.”
