[Nathan comes on the screen shaking out his hair. One needs to make a little effort towards presentation after wearing a hat all day. Humming softly, he glances at the hat in his hand before tossing aside and smiling down at the device he's holding in his other hand.]

Mm. Technology does advance so quickly. There was a time when communication required something far more personal than the mere separation of a screen. I suppose those days of utter intimacy are done though.

[A breath and the brown suit he has on shifts into what appears to be a flowing purple shirt of silk. Satisfied with that, he leans back in the chair he's taken over and sips at a glass of wine.]

I'm going to look forward to exploring this new city though. I've been to so many in my lifetime but this one isn't one I recognize. Perhaps I've drifted off into some kind of waking dream. That would be interesting, don't you think?

[He smiles and runs his fingers through his hair.]

What shall I call this fair city that I've landed in? I'm hoping for something creative and magical.

[What an elegant young man... and very well spoken too. This certainly catches Raikov's attention]

It can be magical and creative... at the residents' expense.

[What a pretty young man. He likes you already.]

At our expense?

[majorcrotchgrab]

[The sexual tension. CAN YOU FEEL IT?]

Unfortunately. I'm sure others have informed you of the boring name of this place and the wonderful "curses" we experience.

[manyadenouement]

[It's OVERWHELMING.]

Oh I heard about the name. However, the curses are new.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[TAKE ME, DAHLING~]

Well then... You've entered a City where the rulers of this place are sadistic assholes. Every few days something different happens. It rains cupcakes. You suddenly feel the urge to do something you never had interest in before. Or you're turned into a toy.

And then the next day, when the curse is over, you're left wondering why the hell you did what you did the previous day.

[manyadenouement]

[COME TO MY ARMS, BABY~

Anyway, give him a moment. He's listening but he's almost distracted by something.]

I love straight forward men.

[Ahem. On topic now.] Those sound interesting.

[He's taken by surprise by the compliment. Poor dear's used to men ignoring him and for once, he wasn't even flirting!]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Raikov recovers though, smirking. And here he thought this man was just going to be eye candy...]

As do I.

And it is interesting, as long as you're not the one being affected by said curses.

[Oh hang on. That expression was cute. Allow him to hum as he actually takes a picture of it with the device. This thing is so useful.]

[manyadenouement]

I'll have to hope I can watch the entertainment and stay free of it then.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Good luck. You're bound to get affected eventually.

[manyadenouement]

Well, I suppose I should make the best of it and just hope it will let me see you naked at some point.

[ahfshdfds. RAIKOV IS NOT USED TO THIS BLUNTNESS... Watch him look surprised again.

But oh, it's so nice...]

[majorcrotchgrab]

... You don't need a curse to see that.

[manyadenouement]

Promise?

[majorcrotchgrab]

If you continue flattering me like this, perhaps.

[manyadenouement]

I haven't even started with the flattery yet.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I dare ask what your flattery is like if this isn't it.

[manyadenouement]

You are a deliciously handsome young man with a body I would want to drape myself over. Your straightforward words thrill me so I get distracted watching your lips move.

Really I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of you move as well.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[BE STILL, MY HEART. Raikov nearly swoons at that. It's been far too long since a man like Nathan has come along. He licks his lips and grins]

I can easily the same about you.

[Perhaps curling a little bit of his hair around his finger will add to that thrill]

And how rude of me, never introducing myself... I am Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov.

[manyadenouement]

Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov. [Hang on. Savoring the name like it's wine.]

I am Nathan Mahler. It's a pleasure, Ivan.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Take me now, you big stud.]

Nathan Mahler... It has been quite the pleasure speaking with you. Perhaps you'd like a tour of the City...?

[manyadenouement]

[I'll take you long and hard.]

I would love to have one. Do I have the pleasure of you being my tour guide?

[majorcrotchgrab]

[I HAVE A FEELING THIS TOUR WILL END UP WITH THAT..]

You certainly do. Shall we meet at the fountain?

[manyadenouement]

[WELP. LOOK WHO IS HAPPY WITH THAT.]

I know where that is.
