[OOC] The Beauty and the Beasts

[Oasis]

Hahaha It was a joke. Also you are bad guy but this doesn't mean you are bad guy. Wreck-It Ralph is an amazing movie. I insist you watch it if you haven't (which I'm assuming you have not lmao). Seriously, watch it today. Skip applying for jobs, class, homework, posting- whatever you need to skip to watch this movie, do it. It will make you feel the feels.

[Oasis]

Short post, but whatevs, I don't even feel bad this time. lol It's hard to have much to say during conversations. I'm actually proud I've been able to write as much as I have been. I used to be pretty bad at writing more than a paragraph during conversation segments.

Anyway, seeing as you probably won't have much to do with Aleks during the mission, were you planning on RPing the 5 guys? Did you want to split them up? I've never tried being a male thug/ assassin type. Might be kinda funny to see me try (or who knows, I might be good at it!).

[LostBrotherGrimm]

hahah, you're right, I haven't seen it, but I will skip all that to watch it, as soon as I finish watching some Di Caprio movies I have on my list! :P

You should feel bad, missus! Joking, I don't mind, our posts are bound to get longer soon :P

I have a small segment for Aleks, during your little assassing job :3 but I can control the guys if you want, although you may take their control on yourself. Depends on whay you'd rather do. If you want to try your hand at the thug character, you can :3

[Oasis]

Sorry I haven't posted yet! I ended up actually doing things before work yesterday which was totally unexpected and mildly scandalous. lol I drank beer! Bleh. lmao

Um... I guess we can both kind of play them? Or play it by ear? >.> I've never really run into this situation in an RP before. lmao I imagine we'll figure it out pretty easy once we get it started. We should probably have names, physical description, and super simple (like 2 sentences) personality descriptions for them so we don't get confused while we're doing this. I was thinking you could do that for this first mission just because I'm lazy and I kinda want to be as surprised as Lilith with what we face.

But I'll definitely be taking control of them some, I'm kinda excited to try being a dude and I trust you won't be too mean with your criticism/ judge me too much if I suck. <3

[LostBrotherGrimm]

You drank beer instead of posting?! Shame on you, you... you... beer-drinker!

I'll give you a short description of them soon and sure we can both do it. I can make an introduction post for them, kinda guide you into the mood of RPing as them and then you can take control. That sounds good?

Of course I won't judge :P And I'm sure you're not going to suck~~

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Hopefully, I guessed the right number of digits for a Russian cellphone :P

[Oasis]

I know! Beer is so gross. D:

Also, I apologize. I've been so busy I haven't even read your post yet. >.< I'm going to respond to your message and then should have a post up before you wake up.

I have no idea how many digits a Russian number has, so I'm going to say: I looked it up and you got it right! You're so good at this! :D We're such responsible writers doing all our research. ^_^

EDIT: Really tired, no editing. Hope it's okay. >.>

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Indeed. I never was a fan of alcohol of any kind actually. That doesn't mean I don't have a drink every now and then - I just don't enjoy it as much as... I don't know, tea. :P

Not a problem at all ^.^ I've been busy myself - which is why I'm replying slower than usual. But a post for you is soon here - oh and I realised I haven't done those short CSs. In ten hours - I promise.

Yay! We're really doing a great job here, I like it! :3

It's great, don't worry about it.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Oh, and I love how you implemented clothes pictures in your post - I might do that in the future.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Aand, before I go to sleep - I made the CSs for you, because I like you~ and friends should treat friends good! Gonna go pass out now~

CLASSIFIED KH01-KH05

Target 01

Target's Name: Andrei Yolkov
Age: 26

Appearance:
Standing at 170 cm, Andrei is an man of average build, completely unremarkable in every physical aspect. Not even his worn out suits can compensate for his often grease, brown hair. Thick lips and brown eyes make him quite an unattractive individual.

Personality:
A skilled negotiator, no doubt about it, but only due to the fact that he is known for snapping should things not go his way. In a nutshell, overly cocky and unstable. He knows he's good at what he does (intimidating people) and is not afraid to run his mouth about it. His biggest strength is his biggest weakness. Has ambitions of progressing higher up in the ranks, but has failed to do so in his five year affiliation with the Tambov.

Has a long history with the prettier sex. Not being overly attractive does not mean he won't try to flirt his way into a woman's skirt, mostly unsuccessfully. Is known to resort to violence when a woman does not greet his "compliments" well.

Target 02

Target's Name: Vlad "Rocket" Zubarev
Age: 27

Appearance:
A strong, bulky man - full of muscle, lacking in brain matter. His pale skin and bald head make him an intimidating man on their own, especially with a red star tattooed on the back of his neck. Considerably larger than Andrei - 187 cm.

Personality:
Tambov's guardian angel for ten years and a two time underground boxing champion. His partnership with a whack job Andrei, for the past two years, have taken him out of boxing competition and turned him into Andrei's right hand man. Literally and figuratively. Often quiet and ready to strike when the opportunity comes knocking.

Target 03

Target's Name: Pavel Deníkin
Age: 21

Appearance:
An average looking male, not quite built like a bodyguard. His darker skin color makes him stick out in the crowd, but his otherwise average appearance makes him blend right back in. Short, black hair and brown eyes. 180 cm tall and full of fighting spirit.

Personality:
Rumors state that he is a long time friend of one of the leaders of the gang, just recently adopted into their family. With connections, he is merely waiting for his testing days to roll by, so he can be granted a higher position within the pack. That said, he is willing to prove himself, so he can move as fast away from Andrei as possible.

Target 04

Target's Name: Maxim Markov
Age: 19

Appearance:
A good looking male, pale with green eyes, short black hair. He is only slightly shorter than Pavel. Although not visible over clothes, he is skinnier than average, due to his drug addiction.

Personality:
Timid, not exactly willing to fight for Tambov's honor. If he has an opportunity to save himself or make some money by screwing his comrades, he will do it without even blinking twice. His life dream is to die while enjoying what he calls "the bliss of ignorance" - or in other words, wishes to die while a certain supstance circulates his veins.

Joined Tambov merely because he was promised some money and a free hit every now and then.

Target 05

Target's Name: Stick
Age: 18

Appearance:
Skinny and sickly looking. Always has a dumb look in his eyes.

Personality:
Regarded stupid by his acquaintances, rarely talks and when he does, he mostly stutters and struggles to finish his sentences. A prime example of a drug addict. Would do anything for a free hit.

[Oasis]

Oooooh man, *rubs hands together* here's where the work begins. This is probably going to be a massive post and is probably going to take quite some time to write. Luckily I'm sitting here with a couple hours of free time, so let's see if I can't make this thing happen tonight. If it takes too long, I might try to find a good break point and post it in 2, maybe even 3 segments depending on how into this I get. If I do break it up and you don't really have anything for Aleks to do in that time, don't worry about posting in between mine (but also don't be afraid to if you want to!). I just want to give you something to read every day without producing any accidental novellas. lol

I'm so nervous and excited I'm jittery! 8D

EDIT: So excited I didn't respond to everything. XD

I'm glad you like the pic links. As I said before, I'm pretty visual so I always look up pictures for things, even if my partner never sees em. Speaking of which, this is the black dress Lilith wore when they met, if you care. The trench coat and plain black pumps I don't imagine you need a pic of, they don't vary too much. lol Like, they're pretty much the same coat and shoes she has now, but they were different colors.

And I greatly appreciate the CSs! You are the bestest of good friends! ^_^ The characters should be really easy to work with.

EDIT 2: I've realized while writing this, is there anything besides cocaine in the briefcase? Is there actually cocaine in the briefcase? I need to know what the guy's reaction upon opening it will be. Will they be pleased, surprised, angry? >.> It kinda... largely determines how things play out. lmao

EDIT 3: Holy crap, I wrote a lot and I'm like... maybe halfway done. >.< But I've already stayed up an hour later than I meant to, so I'll have to finish this later. Same as last time, I didn't do any editing because I ran out of time (it's almost 3 pages on Word D:). I'm sure it's not up to my standards, but I'm also (pretty) sure it's intelligible. lol Also, HOLY CRAP. I made Andrei way more creepy than I meant to with the hand licking thing. Ugh, I seriously grossed myself out with that one. I guess it'll be interesting to see what he's like once they're alone. I mean, it won't last long because I already know what Lilith is going to do, but... lol Anyway, this is a convenient stopping point for suspense purposes as well as giving you a chance to actually tell me what's in the briefcase. lmao Man, I really don't want to go to sleep, I want to keep writing. D: I'm going to be dreaming about this stuff!

[LostBrotherGrimm]

This is going to be exciting :3 ideally, you'll be able to break it into two posts, because I have a certain line of conversation on my mind that I want Aleks and Volgin to have - something to give us more excitement in future endeavours.

But please, do take your time ^.^

I love that dress~ Lilith has a good taste for style. I'm sure Aleks will appreciate that :P and yeah, I pretty much imagined them being the same model, just of a different color :)

Good! Great~ I tried making them easy to work with, yet a little challenging. I'm pretty excited to see how Lily deals with them.

Oh, right, almost forgot to tell you~ there is nothing but cocaine in there - the right amount, good quality and all that. The only difference is that it's packed in blue bags, which is a trademark sign for Nikolai's branch of the mafia (I should think of a name for them). Now that might be a warning flag that something's fishy, because Nikolai would have no need to make such small dealings with them, but considering three out of five are junkies (and a brute boxer) - they wouldn't care much. Andrei is a whacko, so he might have his opinion on that. Only Pavel could react negatively. But that's up to you~

[Oasis]

Oh man, you're online! Lol Well I added another edit to my last message, so make sure you read that. :P

Thanks for the info! ^_^ GAH! Dommi, I really don't want to go to sleep! I want to keep writing. T-T

Oh, and I'm glad you like her clothes. <3

[LostBrotherGrimm]

That's such a good post! I'm so excited for the continuation~~~~ I literally had to read it a few times over how good it was :P things are starting to heat up, I like it. And you did a great job with the guys, I haven't really had someone write for the characters that I made, so this was a special treat ^.^

Now I'm almost kind of sad that Aleks actually arranged for real cocaine to be in there. It'd be much more troubling for poor Lilith if he put sugar or something :P

EDIT: Did you think about our arch-enemies in this RP? I mean, sure, we are going to have plenty of targets to kill, but we should have someone other than Nikolai posing as a direct threat at one point. Maybe police involvement at some point? Or if you had an idea of your own for that~ just something that popped into my head now.

[Oasis]

Hahaha I'm glad you like it because I had a lot of fun writing it! ^_^ I already have the next part planned out but I'm also going to be pretty busy today, so I'm not sure when I'll have it up. I'll try not to keep you waiting too long. <3 Oh, and don't worry, it ends up being more than troublesome enough for Lilith. ;)

EDIT: I had thought about it some, but not too much. I thought of them more as mini bosses that could potentially have their own little story arc Police involvement definitely came to mind, which could be especially troublesome if someone pieced together that Lilith might be involved in murders around the world. Also, once we get further along, it would be all too easy for a hunter to realize a kumiho is living in St. Petersburg once the number of bodies with missing hearts reaches over 20, let alone in the triple digits. So if we wanted some find of incantation-wielding vindictive fox-hunter, that could work too. Um... I might think about it some more while at work today, maybe try and come up with someone a little less obvious.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

You don't have to worry about keeping me waiting at all, my post will be up later today. "When" depends on whether I'll go for a drink or not. And I'm planning on finishing a song today :3 at least the instrumental part. Oh zeah! Now I definitely can't wait to see that~

Yep, I had a police arc on my mind, especially since Aleks met up with one of the better investigators, so he could notice something's fishy, which could come in play later, heating things up for Lilith and Aleks. But a hunter arc could work too, I mean..., we do have to kill a LOT of people to finish the story, so there will be time for a lot of arcs.

[Oasis]

Work was way busier than expected, so very little thinking was done. But LOTS of vegetables were chopped. lmao The only other things I came up with were:

1.) One of the victim's loved ones seeks revenge.

2.) Maybe there is a prostitute (or any sort of female) in the Bratva that has the hots for Aleks' good looks and considerable power. She's been watching him from afar whenever she gets the chance, so she's noticed that some random,dark haired tramp has started hanging around her man. :P At first she threatens Lilith and tries to charm Aleks but when she realizes neither method is working, she knows something is up and threatens to tell Nikolai that something is up with his son.

3.) This isn't necessarily a villain arc, but I was thinking it would be interesting (and highly likely) if at some point Lilith messes up. Like, really messes up. As in: she's on a mission but some random, unfortunate man is charmed by her good looks and won't leave her alone. Irritated with the distraction, Lilith ends up snapping and killing the guy. The target manages to get away and is now on the alert, correctly assuming from what he read in the papers that Lilith was there to kill him.

4.) I also thought it would be really cool if at some point Aleks is the one who is being relentlessly targeted by someone and they can't figure out who. Lilith would basically end up being his body guard, constantly following him in the shadows to keep him safe until they can figure out which of Aleks' many enemies seems to have finally gotten the upper hand. I just think it'd be neat to see Aleks get a lot of the attention for a bit, seeing as Lilith is a bit more.... dramatic and open in the role she plays. lol Plus, I find it SUPER adorable to imagine her being protective of the one man she is constantly complaining about. It might change the dynamic of their relationship a bit.

Okay, so maybe I did more thinking than I realized. XD

But I agree, we'll probably end up having a few arcs to keep things interesting. We could even do a time skip if we were eager to get to get to the end and our ideas run relatively dry.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

The only things, huh? You did more thinking that me. >.<

The first one reminds me of Death Note :P Actually, our whole RP reminds me of DN at certain points. And that is pretty neat - considering it's one of my favorite anime of all time. Maybe even THE favorite.

I like all of them - the second and the fourth are giving Aleks more time on the spotlight, which could be good, if Lilith continues being the main murderer here :3 And I'd like to see their relationship changing at one point.

I do still have an arc on my mind about a target that end up being gay, so Aleks is the one that needs to do the job. That would be so funny. Although it'd be more of a one mission, than a full arc.

It seems Alex-Volgin arc could be possible too, as it seems to be setting out that way in my next post. Would be nice to see how Aleks would take having to kill his possibly only friend (although he won't admit they are friends).

And I think that if we ever get to killing Nikolai - that will be a major arc in itself. Even potentially good enough to be their last mission or something. When all possible stuff hits the fan.

I just noticed that I wrote Alex at one point of this post - and I am too tired to fix it. One of the main characters in my book is called Alex, so I actually mix the two names when I'm tired, because he is the first thing that pops to my mind :P What I want to say is, I apologize if I ever accidentally write Alex instead of Aleks in the IC.

Onwards to the sleeps!     

[Oasis]

Lol Well one thing I can say for myself, I'm relatively good at coming up with plot ideas. I'm terrible at following through with them or fleshing out the details, but I can sure as heck get them started. And I'm pretty decent at making characters (I think), but then don't know what to do with them. D: Poor things end up homeless.

All the things you mentioned sound good to me, except I don't think Nikolai can be the final target. Well, unless we change the original plot around a bit. Cause I was originally planning on having Aleks get what he wanted (the Bratva is dead/ disbanded) but he's still indebted to Lilith. So while he's trying to piece together a new life she's stalking and harassing him and that's when his mental decline starts because he has to just pick random targets that won't raise too much suspicion and there's also the stress of him not being as free as he had anticipated once Nikolai was out of the picture. But I'm okay with us reworking the initial plan if you want.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

And I'm really good at fleshing ideas out. We have a thing going on here, my prettier clone~

Well, yeah, now that you mention it, him still being indebted to Lily when he was supposed to be free is a good setup for a mental decline - I like that. Although he'll probably have to pick some innocent people as targets even before Bratva is dead - which I don't will happen at all (Bratva disbanding/everyone dying). It just wouldn't be realistic (not that a kumiho roaming the streets of St. Pete is realistic :P) , it's too powerful of an organization and, after all, Aleks just wants people he is indebted to out of the way - so... like Nikolai and all closely affiliated to him.

But I sure am fine with Nikolai not being the last mission, as long as he gets a mission at all. He kinda is an important one ^.^
