Rack my gun and wonder outside

>The option chosen is: Make Breakfast
You walk into your kitchen, and remember your still wearing your clothes from before. I mean its not like it matters right now, you were still in your house, but maybe you should change later. You look through your pantry and icebox, and wonder what to make.

You decide to make an omelet. You crack a few eggs into a bowl and beat them with your fork. You butter up a pan and turn on the gas. After the butter melts, you pour your eggs onto the pan and season with salt and pepper. You roll it out onto a plate and start to eat with a fork and knife. It could have done with some cheese, but other than that it was okay.

You decide to quickly change and brush your teeth. You toss together an outfit, mostly just some casual clothes as you head out into the chill September air. The streets are bustling, and chatter is spreading. Many are curious as to what this war will bring, and many are afraid that we might lose it.

You walk down the street to the Cafe Des Syndicalistes. You stepped into the crowded and popular cafe. Unlike yesterday there wasn't a chair available, so you leaned against the back wall. You usually came here every morning for a cup of coffee and a bagel, but you had had breakfast today. There was alot of chatter, and the amount of posters had doubled since yesterday. Almost all of them pro-government propoganda.

"Yeah, thanks." You smile, and he smiles back. He steps away to go make your coffee, and you leave the table to go find a seat. Usually they would ask for a name, but he already knew yours. You scower the crowded cafe for a seat, and eventually find one. You make your way over. You realize someone else is already sitting at the other end of the table.
"Hey, is it okay if I sit here?" You ask.
"Oh, um... Yeah su---" the person sitting at the other end cuts herself off and looks up. You two look at eachoter, and you imediatley recognize each other. You should've guessed by the coat, but it was Marie.
"Henri?" She asks
"Marie, what... I thought you lived farther?" you asked.
"Yeah, but good coffee is hard to come by..." she giggles.
"Fair enough." You respond.

"So you weren't in an actual hurry?" You say suspiciously.

"Yeah, why?" You ask

"Are you still waiting on your order?" You ask
"Yeah---" just as she begins, Marie's name gets called and you follow her to the counter. The two of you walk out into Paris.

"I guess its good that your understanding, i've never been that politically invested..." You say,
"But with all the things going on, i'm starting to get more active." you add on.
"Yeah, i guess alot of people feel that way." She says. You reach your elbow out, and you two interlock arms, as you did yesterday.

"Oh, well there small, the one were going to is two floors, and they have sort of meeting area and a place to buy their newspaper on the bottom floor, the top floor is for the people that actually run the day to day operations and stuff..." She explains.
"They have a newspaper?" You ask.

"Well, you can get some interesting conversations with people, and theres a bulletin board for different odd jobs, like handing out leaflets, and stuff like that." She explains
"Oh, that's interesting, do you get paid?" You ask
"Usually not, but sometimes." She says.
After a bit more walking, you two come to a small-ish two story building, a bit off the beaten path. It had the logo of the Tricolour axe.
"Here we are." She says. The two of you step inside. Its not that busy, but not that empty either. There were a few people in the main area, a few checking out the bulletin as well. The meeting room was off to the side, and there was a stack of newspapers on the receptionist desk.

"Hmm, not much interesting today..." Marie says.

"Hello, I see you have already taken a newspaper." He says
"Yeah, It's pretty good." You compliment.
"That's good..." he scribbles down a note on a piece of paper. "Sorry, my shift is almost up..." he says, getting out from behind the desk, and walking to the staircase upstairs.
"Have a good day!" he says as he walks up.
"Hes... kind of weird..." Marie says.
"Have you seen him before?" You ask.
"No, he must be new..." Marie concludes.

At this time of morning its a bit dead, only two or three groups of people sitting at various tables, munching on croisants. You and Marie find a seat.

"Oh no, its fine." She says, smiling a bit. She had gotten over it a while ago, but it still made her feel sad, as anyone would feel.

"Ooh!" She perks up a bit "I really want to go to Sicily, it seems like a cool place." After the Weltkrieg, The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was reinstated in the lower half of Italy. Bordered by the Papal State and the Republic of Italy.
"I would like to go there to," You say "Maybe we could go there together~" You say in a joking manner. Marie giggles.

"Occasionally, usually the leaders of the various chapters get together and write up a few speeches, occasionally we have a debate or two with some various syndies..." She explains.
"Well thats interesting, what are the debates about usually." You ask
"Stuff like personal vs private property, almost all the buisness here in the Commune is government owned, and populists are usually against this." She says
"Interesting, if one comes up i might swing by." You say

>"What goes on upstairs?"
Seeing how anons are probably going for the natpop route, we should probably get acquainted with how things work. Also, QM as much as I like character development things are going pretty slow. I get that these might be baby steps before working up to the meat of the plot line but two threads in and all we've been doing it chatting up Marie. I'm loving the concept, not so much the pacing.

>The option chosen is: "What goes on upstairs?"
"Hey, so what goes on upstairs anyways..." You ask.
"Oh, thats where the various party leaders meet, talk strategy and organize events. I've been up there once, its kind of boring..." She says.
"Ah, I see" You say.
"Hey, I have to head back home pretty soon, but this was nice~" She says.
"This isn't you just fleeing again like yesterday, is it?" You ask, sarcastically.
"No, My mom is visiting today." She chuckles.
"Fair enough." You say. You both get up. She gives you a hug, before running off again. People start heading out anyways, and you think about heading out as well. You notice through the doorway that someone pins another note to the bulletin board.

You walk up the board and check the note. Its a poster, advertising a demonstration outside this building tomorrow at 8:10. You take out the note with the addresses, and jot down the time. Maybe you'll show up tommorow. You look at the clock on the wall and see the time, 7:57 AM. Geez, you were here for two hours. Then again its not like you had anything better to do. You step outside and start to wander again.

>>3500929
We do have a job yes, although i havent said what the job actually is yet.

>The option chosen is: Go to a museum.
In and around Paris there were many small museums. They were all free, and many of them were memoriums to the General Strike of 1919. The same general strike that led to the French civil war, and the Commune being established. You walked to the nearest one, the Musée De la Pensée. It was a small museum of many of the various French philosophers and politicians throughout the years. Not all of them Syndicalist, in fact many of them were not. They even had a small area dedicated to Philip Pettain, the father of French Populism, and leader of the FNPP in the French Republic. You step into the small, white building and are greeted by the receptionist. It was split into left and right, where it would meet in the middle.

>>3500955
*Philippe Petain

>>3500955
>Go right

>The option chosen is: Go right
You head through the right door, and the first face you see is Philippe Pettain. Its a portrait of him, drawn by some local artist, and a plaque under him that reads his basic history. How he was a war hero, and how seeing France loose everything caused him to found the FNPP. He longed for not only a return to French glory, but a return of the monarchy to some extent. However, unlike the Populists in Romania, he was not an anti-semite. He didn't see the Jews as the antithesis to French society, instead it was the Syndicalists, who he hated with a burning passion. Of course many of his followers felt the same way, and you yourself were never completely loyal to the Syndicalists in the first place.

You continue along the path and continue to look through the portraits and plaques. On the right there were other figures, such as Napoleon the Third, Adolphe Thiers, and Emilie Combes. The further left you went, however, saw more current and active figures. These included Charles Rappoport, Marceau Pivert, and Sébastien Faure. Sebastien was the current chairman of the French Commune, and was an anarchist. Past that there were a few posters of various syndicalist parties that had existed throughout France's history. There was also a small exhibit of the various currencies that France had gone through. From that, however, the museum ended. The clock read 8:30, and you stepped back outside, still having some more time to kill.

You decide just to walk around, see what odds and ends you can see before going for lunch. You walk in the direction to the centre of Paris, the Eifel Tower in the distance. The further towards the centre, the noiser it gets, as the population got denser. You tried to avoid the main streets, just to get out of the way of foot traffic, and you walk down an alleyway. You walk through it for a bit, and eventually you see another person. Usually this was fine, but the circumstances of this meeting felt a bit... sketchy. He was wearing a large coat.

You hesitate for a moment, with a few seconds to decide, you shoot him in the torso, specifically the lower abdomen. You didn't want to kill him. He falls to the pavement, screaming in pain. He grips his side, trying to stop the bleeding. The shot went all the way through, hitting the wall behind him.

Ownership of small arms is legal in the Commune, and so is self defense. Dispite all this, questioning takes a few hours, and by the end of it, you are super tired. You decide to head home, and get an early start on your rest.
