Oh, this curse again.

You can pester me if you bring free food. Having extremely good looks is also accepted. Bonus points if you're from home - as long as I like you, that is.


[OOC: No doubles or telling him what happens to Volgin please! Everything else allowed. He'll be at The Blue Light for people to action with.]

Now, if it were a Hollywood movie, of course, you'd be the clone. It would all be some Commie plot to replace good Americans with Russian spies. But I suppose if he really came along when you were old enough to be his father, you're off the hook there.

[He puffs out his cheeks]

Typical American. You would think that, wouldn't you?

It makes sense from where I'm standing.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I may serve my country but I wouldn't go that far.

Jack is American anyways.

Not even for Mother Russia? I'm proud of you, Ivan.

I thought he was, no wonder I liked him.

[He bristles at being referred to by his first name]

Raikov.

... I figured you'd like him better.

I've always preferred to be on first name terms with people where possible, comrade. Although if you're that adamant about it, then Raikov it is. Although if you think that's an excuse to call me just by my last name, you're sorely mistaken.

He seemed a lot less uptight.

It's impolite for us Soviets to call each other by just our first names unless we're good friends. You may call me Ivan Raidenovitch if you'd prefer.

[Now he purses his lips]

Well, when someone's just so polite...

[Maybe he wasn't all that different during the curse afterall.]

Oh, okay. Didn't realise I was breaking such a cultural taboo. That seems like quite the mouthful, though. But I'll tell you what, I'll call you Ivan Raidenovitch if I'm feeling extra nice. In the meantime, I'm still just Ruby.

I never said I liked him more, you jumped to that conclusion all by yourself.

And that's why I suggested my family name instead since it's shorter.

[HUFFFF. He wants to argue about it but... god dammit, she's right]

Stop being so... so...

[He's struggling with the next word. Damn youm English]

... So audacious!

[She just bursts out laughing, both at how flustered he is and the word he eventually alights on.]

But where would the fun in that be? Besides, I'd take audacious as a compliment.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Because I'm the one that's supposed to be that way! Not you!]

You're lucky I'm not your comannding officer!

video

[spotlighted]

I don't have a commanding officer, I'm a free citizen, and I'm very glad of that.

[MOAR HUFFING]

I believe we're through with this conversation. Good day, Ruby.

[And like a sore loser, he cuts the feed]

[Well, at least he called her by the name she asked of him. Let's call this one a draw, Ivan Raidenovitch.]
