[i]"Geez, never realized just how wound up some of these kids are."[/i] Adrian thought, looking on as Riley approached the young Rayon in the air. [i]"Well with Ephraim, everyone's favorite stick in the mud, it's a given. But it seems just about everyone takes themselves so seriously."[/i] He had joined Victoria at the table, and leaned against it as he thought more on the situation. [i]"Well, it [b]is[/b] wartime, after all. Never know who or what might attack us at any given moment."[/i] He let out a little sigh. [i]"Geez, what a way to live."[/i] With that, he addressed Victoria. 

"Soooo, back to 'Operation: Let's Buy [i]ALLLLL[/i] the Weapons'. How much of that do you plan on following through with? How big are we planning on getting? Carpet bombing? Tactical nuke? One'a those satellite heat beam thingies you see in the video games?" He asked. He would do these sort of things with Victoria; ask an absurd question just to see how serious she'd take it.
