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 (

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ Welp. Nikolai doesn't speak for a long time, but he keeps the video on and he just looks at Sho, his gaze unwavering. ]

You ever been to city where the sun don't come up?

Only in a nightmare.

[ Because if there was such a place, there was a good chance that he would have g9one mad. Sho may not be able to stand sunlight, but it was a comforting sort of thing to know that if he grew tired, he could just open the blinds and end it. ]

No, not that I remember.

[ Very simply: ]

Not you.

But someone enough like me that you know stuff you shouldn't know.

Da. [ Slightest upward curve of the lip. ]

Are you afraid because of that?

Afraid?

[ Lips pulling back a little, showing his teeth, light catching the fangs. ]

Just curious on what you'll do with that knowledge.

[ Nikolai only grins at the display. ]

Then I am curious what you will do with your curiosity.

I can ignore things if they stay quiet but I can't ignore things if they are blabbered all over the place.

You are the one showing off in public. [ Mildly. ]

Considering half the people here already know about things that go bump in the night and wet days, I don't think they care.

More important is: do you care?

There are other things I care about.

You can only care about one thing at one time?

Nope. I just don't worry about things I can't do anything about.

If you don't worry, of course you can't do anything.

Don't think I can change what I am or my nature. Only change at how I react towards people and that's pretty hard since people are pretty much a kind of food to me.

[ He laughs at that. ]

You have favourite kind of food? [ Because why wouldn't he. ]

Italians are tasty. It must be all the garlic, although I could do with less hair in the way.

[ Yup, Italians aren't the best mafia but they do taste nice. ]

[ Idly: ] Would have thought pretentiousness makes for terrible taste.

Hard to be that when you're crying in fear after getting shook around like a mouse by a rat terrier.

[ Eyebrow raised. Then, dryly and maybe sarcastically: ]

Very impressive.

I still have to use both hands to shake them around; the guy I knew, he just needed to toss them about by pinching their ears.

[ dramatic pout. Kei. Y U DO THINGS BETTER? ]

Strong man. [ Idly. ] He is like you?
