She leaned against the bar and took another sip of her drink. "What makes you say that?"

Think about it, dear. Why is it anyone would want to take an EPE drug..? :::She answered it herself:::
To be stronger than those without EPE drugs.

She finished off the glass. "EPE? What does that stand for?"

:::She keeps her face straight, though she's watching Luana down the drug:::
Enhanced Physical Efficiency.

"Ah, I see. That's not a term we use in my time." She left the glass in the sink. "But I'm guessing it's pretty common in your time?"

:::She heaves her shoulders in an unhappy sigh:::
Yes. It's what the opposing Tropo army used against us. In part, at least. Actually... it's what they use against their very own people.

She smiled sadly. "I think I can identify with that."

"I guess you could say there's a little underground war going on now, and my friends and I have gotten sucked into it. Unfortunately, bringing either side to the surface means we both lose. Both sides use their own as test subjects, and my father is no better. Strange huh?" She seemed to almost say this to herself as well as Kara.

:::Kara got out of her seat, standing on the opposite side of the bar from Luana:::
That's fine. Just fine. :::She said sarcastically::: But as far as underground wars go, no one gets 'sucked in'. Either you believe in what you're fighting for or you don't.
And go ahead. Let your father tell you what to do. Even if you're lucky enough to have your body come out of this unharmed, the damage to the future is already done. That stuff you just drank is going to cause wars.

Luana frowned and stood up straight. "He's my father. I don't have a choice in how the matter is handled-" She stopped speaking rather suddenly when she realized her hand was shaking again. She held it behind her back to hide it until she could keep it still again.

:::She balled her hands into fists and dug the knuckles into her hips as she spoke:::
Well then it's people like you. Just follow blindly. Serving in the name of 'who-cares-what'. You're just gonna do what you're told. Y'know, ******** right and wrong. Lay down and die, or take some EPEs and die, cuz you got sucked in'. Oh well, whatever you say. So long as the people with their own selfish exploits have a goal, my life, my body, my choice doesn't matter.
Go on and take the drugs, become the mindless epSoldier, because the people with the power must also be the people who've got it all figured out, and have the right to tell us what to do. They must have all the answers, they know what's right and wrong and they should push it on the whole of humanity... pounding the rest of us until we submit.
:::At this her hands flung up in the air and she turned away from Luana, stomping off:::

Luana had a few choice words that she wanted to say to Kara as well, but faded out just as she began to follow.
**Exit Luana**

:::Kara didn't even notice. She huffed and sputtered curses to herself as she walked over to the wrack and grabbed up her key. Her motions were forced and exagerated as she shoved the key into the door, swung it open and slammed it hard shut behind her:::
*Exit Kara*

:::Kara fades in, leaned very far back into a chair at the tables. She was in the middle of chuckling wildly at the royal joker when she appeared. As the laughter surrounding her stops, her's also fades... and she releases the last giggle with a sigh. There was no one there:::
