[The video screen shook a bit, as Ivan seemed to be adjusting it after finally figuring out how the damn thing worked. His face took up the majority of the screen.

Amazing! This thing didn't even look like a camera, and it seemed to do a lot more than just that too. They had portable cameras where he came from, but video was a whole 'nother story.

There was a whine, obviously feral, and the camera shifted down to a small yellow rat. Or Pikachu, but Ivan preferred to call it a rat.]

Heh! And look at this thing--it fits into a ball!

[He shoves it with his foot. The "rat" protests again, sparking angrily. Ivan either ignores it or simply doesn't notice as he turns the camera back to his beautiful visage. The lens wasn't as close now, and his Soviet Major's uniform could be seen. He had refused to change into his new Rocket uniform.]

If somebody could explain to me how to get home, the only assholes I talked to--

[And that's about the last thing Ivan says (besides a surprised scream) as he gets a good shock and the feed ends.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[He shrugs extravagantly.]

It's the truth. The sooner you start being a little more open minded the sooner things will start to make a little more sense around here. But hey, I'm not going to twist your arm about it.

There's a difference between being gullible and being open minded.

[A small smirk pulls at the corner of his lips.]

Being open minded could be a sentence years in prison. I would be careful flaunting that mindset around. ...But, this isn't Tselinoyarsk or anywhere in Russia. I knew that the moment I opened my eyes.

[The stage of denial seems to have ended.]

[Kaz is from the seventies, Raikov. Free love and all that.]

And there's a difference between being careful and being a stubborn fool. It's a shame. You're denying yourself a lot of opportunities. I don't have any reason to lie to you.

[Except for the fact that he doesn't really need one.]

They don't offer.

[Deadpan.]

If you're not one of them, you might want to run away then. They're terrible people.

Yeah? What's so bad about them?

[Because as it was right now, he was getting paid P1000 a week and had a place to stay.]

[That's still the future for Ivan.]

Who do you think you're calling a fool? I've woken up in some mysterious town and you think I'm a fool for being careful?

[He sneered a bit, but seemed to back down.]

Tell me then, what "opportunities" am I missing?

[Might as well milk the attractive man for information.]

They're common thieves. [His voice is scornful.] Really, it's pitiful.

And who are you, so high and mighty to judge how somebody else lives their life?

[He just wanted to back Huey up into a corner, trap him like a rat.]

Any decent person would look down on scum like that. People who're too lazy or stupid to work for themselves, so they take what other people have earned.

[Ivan grins venomously.]
Do you always talk like that about people who live life differently than yourself? You're a Yankee, aren't you?
