[ the screen pops up on a pretty girl with wooly blonde curls, one blue eye and one green, looking kind of pissed and seemingly sitting inside a small cafe if the iced coffee in front of her is any indication. she is not actually pissed, not incredibly, this is just her resting bitch face. she's already divested herself of her winter wool coat and knitted hat and instead is wearing a tank top to accommodate the heat, but she also, contrarily, has a pair of black leather gloves on and a thin silk scarf, light blue, draped delicately around her throat, covering up the scar that marks her as a member of her family. ]

Two things: I'm looking for a Sharpe, a specific one named Cassel, but he is physically incapable of not being involved in the most dramatic trouble so I know he is here. [ she sounds... vaguely affectionate? maybe? it's possible she's not looking for him to hunt him down and murder him. or maybe she is. that could just be how they show affection, you don't know their life.

but in any case, she moves on swiftly, not entertaining the idea that cassel isn't here. he has to be, they were in the car together. and it's probably all his fault somehow because that's just how it happens in lila's life. ]

Secondly, does the government really expect me to help fight Soviets? I'm a Zacharov. We're Russian. [ not to mention the hateboner lila has against the government (all of them!) for the anti-worker legislation and the camps of old with makes her derisive tone all the more contemptuous. she grew up on the stories of how her family fought back against that bullshit, she's not about to suddenly change her tune and start frolicking off against the ussr because uncle sam said jump. uncle sam can go fuck a bald eagle. ] That's like asking me to fight against my own cousin.

[ ..hahhahahhahahahah. BAD ANALOGY. whatever, she's keeping it. no one else will understand why she is smirking anyway. ]

Okay, maybe three things. I'm living at... [ she looks at something on the table, nose wrinkling slightly in distaste. ] Number 22. That's happening.

That's all. Dosvedanya.

[ and with a little wave, she cuts the feed. ]

You don't have to fight the Soviets if you don't want to. I mean, some of us physically can't fight the Soviets, so it'd be a bit hypocritical of the government to force us to do something we can't do.

[ there's a tentative pause before ] And besides, I don't think we've ever done any actual Soviet fighting since I got here.

[ she makes a face. ~soviets? it's all so pleasantville and she's seen that movie so many times at three am when she's not sleeping she has a lot of hateful feelings toward it. ]

Isn't being hypocritical, like, on their post-it note of shit to do on the daily?

Right under 'not answering questions' and 'needless propaganda.' [ that was a joke. or, at least, Connors's attempt at a joke. ]

[A well-dressed looking young man pops up on screen. His appearance is somewhat incongruous; he couldn't be much older than Lila, but his well-tailored suit is mismatched both with the weather and his age. When he speaks, his accent is notably proper Queen's English. His hair is immaculately neat and close cropped, but he's noticeably pale and thin-- for all that he takes care of his appearance, he clearly doesn't take enough care of himself. All in all, he rather gives the impression of someone trying to appear older than he really is.]

Miss Zacharov. I believe I met with your Mr. Sharpe some time ago, if we are indeed referring to the same individual. However, I regret to be the bearer of bad news, but I have not seen him since then in at least a month.

[ hmmm, her mr sharpe. she likes the sound of that. she does not like the sound of him being gone??? and having been here before her? no. her lips purse in displeasure, but this guy is actually something lila knows how to handle. at least in terms of manners. she has them, as under used as they may be, perks of being a princess, even if it's only for the mafia. ]

Maybe six feet, impossible to place ethnicity, dark hair, dark eyes, gloves? That Cassel Sharpe?

[ say no. SAY NO. ]

Indeed. He also wore gloves despite the heat, as you do.

[Impossible nerd and toolbag douchelord he may be, but not much slips past him-- at least in terms of technical detail. Emotions are another matter entirely.]

Wow just how awkward was that briefing? Shit, I don't even know what a Zacharov is but I can imagine they weren't too thrilled to be hosting anyone with anything in their name ending is -rov.

Also, if you're looking for someone and they're not on the imPorts contact list on that nifty phone they gave you then they're probably not here. Sorry.

It was brusque. But he was like forty and hideous so I didn't mind really. Like, if you're going to be the welcoming committee? Please be at least mildly attractive otherwise the welcoming effect is sort of lost.

I'm sure he has a nice personality. At least you were conscious for you welcoming party. All bullshitting aside, I have to say your arrival is an interesting development. Porter has a sick sense of humor.
