Okay, gang, this week's prompt is: embassy If this seems familiar... it's just your imagination, all in your head!

Hehehe

Five false BirdStyles were in front of a large monitor in a darkened room. On the screen was an image of a whitewashed wall twelve feet tall with a narrow gate in the middle. On the right of the gate was a plaque with Cyrillic lettering. "Are we going to kill Ukrayina's ambassador from Rus?" Misha the Owl asked. "What makes you say that?" was Jinpei's response. "That's the embassy in Kiovia." Misha answered, "I spent a lot of time painting that wall when I was a kid." "And you can be sure 'Mother Rus' was as kind to her Ukrayinan stepchildren as she was to the Polanie." the Condor impersonator added. Misha let out a snort. "I'm sure the two of you would be glad to see Moskva itself become a smoking crater," the fivesome heard the leader of the Devil Stars say, "your mission is designed to have a greater impact than any simple explosion could cause." She paused a moment as if she was relishing a thought. "When your mission's complete," she said, "you will truly change the world!"

Ah, but will they change the world for the better or the worse, EW? And better or worse from whose viewpoint? Or do they just not care? Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ....

EW: Oh dear, somehow I don't think the world would change in a way that's good for anyone but Galactor. RIgirl: Well RI is certainly providing her with a challenge.

RIgirl -- It's a good thing Jun's in shape! I'd hate to think what would happen if Red Impulse managed to ditch her.

LOL, EW! Actually, two things are happening here -- the first is that Jun is trying to imitate Red Impulse's brisk, casual walk, but as anyone with shorter legs (like me) knows, it's incredibly hard to pull off when walking with someone with longer legs (like my husband). He can be sauntering along, completely oblivious, while I'm practically trotting next to him. Cool elegance goes right out the window for me! The other thing is that he knows where they're headed and she doesn't because why would he tell her? From his point of view, he's the one in charge here (and he is, at least for the moment ). However, if they were actually flat-out running, she'd totally be the one leaving him behind!

Being 5'2" I am very familiar with the problem of keeping up with people who walk faster than me.

Must be hell.

All you need is a jet booster, EW.

LOL, oh poor Joe... though can't say he doesn't have some torture coming to him...

KT: LOL, she got him good, didn't she?

At least Julia didn't demand he pose with the twins.
