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

[implying]

[ bingo, nik. ]

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

[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. ]

[implying]

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

[justthedriver]

You always take that kind of mutual favour?

[implying]

Oh, very nearly without fail. And for a handsome man like you? Why, the odds are very well in your favor.

[justthedriver]

[ He looks down at the table, his fingers tapping a nonsense rhythm against the wood. Breathes out a small ribbon of smoke before he looks up to Vanadi. ]

Might not be getting what you want, da?

[implying]

Very unlikely, my friend. I'm an easy please.

[justthedriver]

[ Nikolai gives him a very pleasant smile. ]

Feeding rats pleases nobody.

[ Jesus Vanadi :| Don't proposition a Russian mafiya man!!!! ]

[implying]

Oh, come, now you've changed the subject. I'm talking about two people enjoying a good fuck. And you?

[justthedriver]

[ Vanadi.

Oh look his face just change. Just the slightest >:| instead of the usual :|. ]

I am talking about what will happen if you keep talking about having sex with me. [ Beat. ] Not very nice to keep being asked by ssuchenniy.

[implying]

I don't remember ever once asking! I'm merely implying, you see. It's wholly different.

[ a beat. ]

Shall I ask what ssuchenniy means, or would you prefer to keep your air of mystery?

[justthedriver]

[ He laughs. ]

Playing with words isn't good enough excuse. [ Heartbeat's worth of pause. ]

Bitch.

[ He's answering the question!

(Ssuchenniy translates literally to 'bitch', but it's more like 'bitch', 'slut', 'cocksucker' and 'faggot' all rolled into one. Have fun.) ]

[implying]

I see! A word with so many meanings. If in this case you mean the submissive partner, well. That's conditional.

[justthedriver]

[ Eyebrow raise. ]

Either you are very stupid, or very desperate. Both not good things.

[implying]

I'm merely making conversation, my dear. Would you prefer we talked about the weather?

[justthedriver]

[ . . .

Musingly: ]

First person to ever call me that. [ He leans in a bit. ] You have anything you are afraid of, Vanadi?

[ Is it possible to make a name sound sensual, mocking, and teasing at the same time? Yes, yes it is. ]

[implying]

[ so pleasantly: ] Not one single thing. Why do you ask?

[justthedriver]

Okay. [ Beat. ] Why don't you take off mask, mm?

[implying]

I'd really rather not, if it's all the same to you.

[justthedriver]

It's not same.

[implying]

Why, then I suppose I'm obliged to take it off right this moment. Or, maybe it's off already! Woud it please you to think of that?

[ oh the pleasures of audio ]

[justthedriver]

[ Nikolai knows it's audio. That's precisely the reason why he asked.

Vanadi is more honest than most, because he said 'I'd rather not' instead of 'It's already off'.

Or maybe he's just smarter. ]

Da. It would. [ Beat. Another skim along the waters: ] You want to please me?

[implying]

I am, as they say, a people-pleaser.

[justthedriver]

Not asking about 'people'. Asking about me.

[implying]

Demanding, aren't you! Ah, but that's quite alright, I can handle demanding.
