[Otabek doesn't use the network very often, other forms of social media even less. He's come to realize that it can be a useful tool if someone is: bored, curious, or seeking specific information. In his case, the first led to the second which resulted in the third.]

Hello, everyone.
This is not a serious issue, but if you have time to spare, please respond.

[There, now that's settled.]

Fine. How's this? I'm trying to make it sound less obvious now.

[ It's...sort of working? He's definitely still got an accent, but it's harder to place as obviously Russian while he's trying to mask it. ]

[devoutish]

Not bad, not bad.

[Alfie's own accent is 100% British Cockney - not a trace of Russian on him.]

[beautiful_monster]

Whoa... Are you really Russian? You don't sound like it at all.

[devoutish]

Half. My mum came to England when she was younger.

[beautiful_monster]

Oh, that's gotta be it. I've lived in Russia my whole life before I came here. I only learned English so I could talk to other athletes when I was traveling.

[devoutish]

Yeah. Ice-skater, wasn't it? Figure skater?

[beautiful_monster]

Yeah, that's right. I've been keeping it up here too even if I'm not in competition.

[devoutish]

Mm. And living in Russia, while you're not here?

[beautiful_monster]

Obviously, but I haven't been able to set foot outside this shitty country since the first day I was ported in.

[devoutish]

Ah, still not registered, then.

[Of course, neither is Alfie.]

[beautiful_monster]

No shit. Even if I did register there's no way they'd let me go to Russia.

[devoutish]

Well-- it wouldn't be your Russia anyway, would it.

[beautiful_monster]

No, but it's... It'd still be closer to home than this country.

[devoutish]

Mm.

[He can't totally disagree with that.]

We had an opportunity to go to London last summer. I thought about doing it, but it would've made me feel further away from home, I think. Seeing all the differences.
