oo1; voice + video

[justthedriver]

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). ]

Comments

yes okay that works. permablank screen.

[tofindthesun]

If I had it, I would know what it was.

[l o g i c.]

:| horrible lego

[justthedriver]

Da? You know names of everything you have? [ So much skepticism. Legolas, why are you so easy. ]

nikolai is worse

[tofindthesun]

[he is not being easy..!!

SIGH.]

I do not have a pimple, Nikolai.

nope.jpg

[justthedriver]

[ You are being so easy, Legolas. Nikolai laughs again. ]

You don't know that because you don't know what pimple is. [ He waves a hand. ] I can check for you.

[ What is this conversation, Nikolai doesn't even know. ]

yep.gif

[tofindthesun]

[no he's not he's just going along because nikolai won't answer his question.]

I have nothing on my face that was not there last we saw each other. [no, nikolai. try harder.]

[justthedriver]

[ He makes a soft, amused sound as he puts his head on a fist and looks at Legolas. ]

Then why won't you show me your face?

[tofindthesun]

[screen is still blank, but he has his head turned curiously. not unlike a bird regarding its food before pecking at it.

tap, tap, tap.]

Why do you want to see it?

[justthedriver]

[ What is that English phrase? ]

Fun, joy, laughter. [ He chuckles. Legolas doesn't need to show him his face for Nikolai to know that he's tilting his head. ] Why not?

[tofindthesun]

[stop with those english phrases dammit.

nikolai doesn't need video to know legolas is shrugging either, does he?]

I see no reason to. [besides to satisfy nikolai's weird desire to see his face, anyway. which is both weird and dismissively normal, and he's wondering how much longer they're going to keep this up.]

[justthedriver]

[ He cocks his head, something like an approximation of what Legolas himself usually does. Like a bird watching its prey. ]

You need reason to let someone see your face? [ He crooks his lips up. ] Or make someone answer your question?

video JUST THIS ONCE..??

[tofindthesun]

[he could laugh at the almost-imitation.

instead he turns on the video feed with a sigh, expectant but wearing a half-smile. and his hair is soaked again.]

There are others with answers who will not demand a face.

[lucky you, nikolai. he's only used the video function once since abax.]

FUCK YEAH WINNING!!!

[justthedriver]

[ Nikolai raises his eyebrow at those words. And about that soaked hair. ]

What happened to your shiny hair? [ Yes, he just said shiny. Yes, Legolas. Your hair is wet and Nikolai notices. It's hard not to when it takes up so much of the screen. ]

voice again ONLY THE ONE, NIKOLAI, NO MORE maybe

[tofindthesun]

I fancied a walk in the rain. [don't be surprised, nikolai. this is precisely why he avoids video.

and why he's switching back to voice right now. it's tempting to consider especially avoiding it with nikolai, but.. it just might make him nag more.]

... my god Legolas

[justthedriver]

[ ... A walk in the rain. Of course, Nikolai still remembers Legolas communing and falling in love with trees. He snorts. (And is completely unsurprised at the switching off of the video.)

He takes a long drag. ]

I met another one of you. From your world. Small thing.

troll him more that might work /chinhands

[tofindthesun]

I do not know of any small Elves from Middle-Earth...

[though.. he does know of a small elf. comparatively small.]

How small do you mean? And who?
