Biggest country in world I know but Initiative don't seem to bother to bring anyone else but me. Too many goddamned Americans and Japanese. [ Says the heavy Russian accent. ] And aliens. And fucking elves. [ For all the emphasis he puts on that word, he doesn't sound angry. More of a 'fuck, what the hell, man?'

... Sorry, elves. He's targeting one elf in particular and he doesn't much care if there's more of them.

Sharp snort. Sound of a lighter snapping on, and the crackling of cigarettes. Then the camera switches on.

Have a pair of heavily tattooed hands, one of them curled around a white stick. Then he tips the tablet upwards until it shows his face, and Nikolai pulls off the sunglasses. ]

You lot ever get tired of talking on this thing? Bunch of stupid questions lately. [ He takes a drag of the cigarette, and blows it at the screen. ] You've all forgotten how to fuck, or something?


[ ooc; for any character with knowledge of Russian criminals, Nikolai's hands carry tattoos that basically says he's one of the worst ones out there. Yeah.

Also, content warnings for sexual assault for the thread with Steph (controlledvariable). ]

You like your carnage in person? Certainly limits your options.

[skypsalms]

Do I?

I, I mean, I am but I also know some that are younger than me.

[Maybe her smile widens the teeniest bit.]

Naturally. It is the end and it is the beginning, a color all of its own caliber. Every other color could only wish they were as magnificent as black.

[alittlesweptup]

East London, round in Bethnal Green. You know it?

[implying]

[ bingo, nik. ]

Precisely. I could never really bring myself to charge for something I enjoy so much!

[She makes a face.]

Like I can do anything with your name. But if y'need mine so bad, it's Ygritte.

[urnotafraid]

It's in China.

[ He stared at the screen and then gave another annoyed huffed. Congrats Nikolai, you're getting some emotion other than emo out of him. ]

So where do you know me from?

[justthedriver]

Knowing is doing something. Da?

[ Beat. ]

Nikolai.

[justthedriver]

[ He tips his head, just very little, to the side. ]

Interesting. They have way to convince people to go even when they try to hide?

[justthedriver]

Da. [ A pause, and he takes a drag of his cigarette. ]

I know it.

[ He knows East London. ]

video; // ITT: colour theory

[justthedriver]

[ He laughs at that. ]

Thought it is lack of colour. Ending, like night. Sun goes out, everything goes black.

[justthedriver]

[ Oh, that's a new face that he's never really seen before. Nikolai grins, just a little bit. ]

If you don't remember, then not you. [ He lifts his shoulders. ] Just someone who looks like you. Also named Sho.

[justthedriver]

[ Vanadi you amuse him so much. ]

Plenty of people charge other people for letting them do what they like doing. [ The syntax of this sentence is fucked and he knows it. Whatever. ]

[justthedriver]

Da?

And what kind of battle?

[justthedriver]

If you multitask well, easy to fuck and talk at same time. [ Shrugs. ] Make things more interesting.

[justthedriver]

[ Very simply: ] I don't.

And I don't [ he smiles slightly ] worry.

[justthedriver]

Fuck analogy. [ Waves a hand. ]

[justthedriver]

Maybe I just don't need carnage to keep me going. [ Shrugs. ] Who knows?

[implying]

Well, yes, but plenty of people aren't me. It's a mutual favor, you see.

[urnotafraid]

[ Watch out, the sulk is gonna appear and then he's going to go looking for him. ]

Sho's my name and I don't think there's anyone like me especially one of my nature.

[heartsink]

Fine. [ another shrug of the shoulder. ] There's obviously no way I could make you tell me, if you don't want to, but I am curious.

[controlledvariable]

[a shrug]

We get a warning on the tablets, but if you don't head to the transporters, they'll just send us off anyway, same way we were brought in.

[So, without asking. Just sudden teleportation.]

[alittlesweptup]

From work or pleasure?

[justthedriver]

[ The most ironic thing he said in the entire conversation: ]

Rude.

[justthedriver]

You have name to go with all those questions, Mister East London?
