Aria unlocked the door to her apartment. Home Sweet Home! But Aria looked around and things felt different. The room seemed larger than she remembered, the neighbors felt quieter, but they were fighting again, which meant later that night would be the make up. Aria sighed, so much for a good nights rest in her bed.
There was a lot to be done. The train was plenty of time to get some of the so called planning done, but now that she was in Moscow she just wanted to relax. The train ride had done little to ease her worries, or provide ample quiet time to actually think beyond the cursory reading she had done. She had watched the horrifying video of Ascendancy burning a man alive several times. Try as she might there was nothing there that was any help, the only help the video would be was to prove to someone else that this was the only human that needed to be hunted, god or not, he was a monster.
Aria cared little for politics, she didn't bother with anything other than those with in the Atharim. The CCD seemed well handled and nothing amiss, it wasn't for political reasons, but she did doubt herself many times over the long train ride.
Aria walked into the bathroom and turned on the water to what would become a warm bath later, she dropped the stopper in the drain, and walked away from the room.
While she waited for the bath to run, Aria pulled out her wallet and pulled up the encryption program that she had used to contact Katya before and sent her a message. "Need to meet. Send time and place."
There was little reason to send more than that, she had a few thoughts, and Katya could help, the goggle project would probably have to be dropped. At the moment there was little need of it, but it depended on where the little hacker girl had gotten with them.
Monsters were all about, and some of her brethren had taken differing interests in things. Aria sent Tehya a message too. "I'd like to arrange a meeting, to discuss your research." Keeping the rougarou alive, there had to be a reason, and Tehya had been the one to send them after it with the living order. Maybe Tehya could be helpful in her mission. It could turn out poorly, but you never knew unless you tried.
Aria dropped the wallet on the small table by the bed and pulled off her clothes, they fell where they may. She could clean it up later. Aria pulled a pistol from her bag and brought it with her, there was no need to be unprotected in a world where monsters lived everywhere. She smirked at her own thoughts, Aria knew she was one such creature.
Aria pulled a fresh towel from the rack, the fluffy white terry clothe looked almost new, it had been one of few things she had enjoyed purchasing. Aria set the towel on the radiator next to the tub and her gun atop it and stepped into the bath and submerged completely. The world faded away to a dull ebb and Aria closed her eyes and waited in relative peace.
