metal gear solid - major raikov

010 || video;

[Clad in his uniform (which is wet now), Raikov appears on the video feed looking rather annoyed. Some of his hair is plastered to his cheeks and is still dripping from the fountain water]

... I spend one day back home and it's been a week here? Why the hell did I leave in the first place? Not that I'm complaining about returning to the Motherland...

I am complaining about where you decided to drop me off though, dear deities. This uniform is dry-clean only.

[He takes off his hat, frowning. That will be particularly difficult to wash...]

Hn. Dare I ask what I've missed during my absense?

[OOC: Unhiatus'd finally. Yaay, healthy again!]

[Welp. There's only one response to this kind of video.

Penny grabs a towel and heads to the fountain.]

Hey there.

[Raikov's wringing out his tie and looks when he hears Penny's voice]

Nh. Hey.

[She offers him the towel, which... isn't going to help that much.]

Are you hungry?

[It's.. the thought that counts. It'll help with his hair. And oh, she said the magic words]

... Extremely.

Anything specific? There're some leftovers from the days where everyone from everyone's homes came to visit, and I was thinking some kind of pasta for dinner...

Oh. One of those days.

[He wraps his hat in the towel]

... Left overs will be fine.

Yep, one of those.

[Raikov, your priorities.]

Okay. Come on over and help yourself. You can have some not-soaked clothes, too, if you want.

Thank you, Penny.

Pretty sure they don't care about that.

I know.

Yeah, yeah. Congratulations! And welcome back, I guess.

Not sure if I should thank you for that.

Pretty sure nobody'd expect you to! But you got it anyway.

'Sides, it could be worse.

Don't say that. It'll come true.

I'm knocking on wood! I know how it works.

If something bad happens though, I'm still blaming you.

Wh— Oi, what happened to blaming your own karma first!

I didn't do anything bad recently.

[Bullshit.]

There's no expiration date on karmic retribution!

... What if you don't believe in karma?

Karma still believes in you.

It should stop then.

Nah, you stockpiled too many bad acts, that kinda heavenly judgment doesn't go away so easy!

How do you know?

It's totally obvious!

How so?

Are you denying it?

I will neither deny or confirm.

That's pretty much as good as a confirmation.

How so? If I were to deny it, you'd probably say I was lying.

Guess there's no way out of this one, huh.

I could just ignore you.

That just sticks me with the last word!

But you still have no proof.

Not too much~... did you enjoy your reprieve?

Yes, I did actually.

Nothing important, I'm sure.

Really?

Only the past week, right? No sudden dimension shifts, no large monsters crawling out of the ground-- it was pretty average.

About that long, yes.

That's... good to know, I suppose.
