Erik Betrakte and his group of rebels went around the globe for the past week under assumed names. They had some good fun in Amsterdam, roamed around London, and even stopped by New York City for some shopping, to look less like military and more like the young men and women they were.

Not one of them was older than 18. They wanted to look that way. They wanted to travel that way too, so they sold the plane in Cairo, wandered around for a couple days, and finally found a bus that would take them to Naburu. It would not be a first for the four. Mary and Niko sat up front, since the back was filled with the druggies, anarchists, rebels, and the bad sort. Alve and Erik fit right in.

Finally, they reached Naburu. From there, they took a private sail boat to the Cape Verde Isles. The trip was paid for all with cash, to keep them off the grid. Also, they booked things that wouldn't require their IDs, so even if Kraftig was looking for him, he wouldn't find him.

All four of them sat in a circle on the front of the boat. They were discussing their plans for outting Oppøre and running their own nation. The perils of leadership were upon them, and they only hoped that a Nordlandic Officer was not aboard their boat.

"So guys, why are we going to the Cape Verde Isles?" Niko asked.

"I've got a friend here who I called a bit ago, she said she could take us in and provide us with a place to stay while we're running from the man," Erik replied.

"You sure we can trust her? This place just went through a civil war," Mary said.

Alve, however, sat against the railing and smoked from a pipe. The sharp stench of marijuana stung their nostrils, Alve said he just needed it, but everyone knew it was to take the piss out of Erik for quitting so his mind could be clear.

The boat arrived on the Island by noon the next day. The four were greeted by Princess Juli and her group. "Thanks for letting us stay here, Juli."

OOC: LOL!!!!!! These are the threads that I love to read.

"Ah, it's no problem. Rockport finally made an agreement after the war, and I thought it would be a good way to keep you guys safe." Juli walked over and gave a strong, uncharacteristic hug to Erik, then looked over Mary, Niko and Alve.

What kind of a name is Alve? Then again what kind of a name is Juli?

She looked over Alve, sniffed lightly, then looked at her guards who both smiled. "Alve, Mary," she gave a smile to the only female of the group, "and you're Niko." Juli grinned and looked around. "At least I'm wearing real clothes this time," Juli remarked with a grin, and she turned to the guards. "Hey, you like bombs?"

Niko and Alve nodded to her when her eyes passed over them, Mary returning her smile. Erik was not expecting such a big hug from her, but it was nice all the same. "Well that's all well and good, at least the fighting has stopped somewhere," Erik said, smiling.

"True, but the four of us feel a lot more comfortable in these clothes, better than those military uniforms. Either way, you still look great," he said, half flirting, half, well, it was all flirting.
