This was raw fear. A fear so unprecedented, so unwanted, so overwhelming that he ignored anything anyone said. Even as the cardboard man addressed him, he was silent. He had only felt this type of fear once before, when he entered a gentleman's strip club for an undercover drug operation. The amount of pure lust in the air, the sudden sexual frustration building tension within the rooms he entered. Not everyone was like that of course but many of the men who were there had very pent up sexual lives. They had been free to express themselves in that little club of theirs. It was horrifying to him, the amount of desperate looks sent towards his way. Although no prune, the acts they had conveyed in their eyes... It shook Jamal to the core. It made him feel this special type of fear that was different from any other. He wasn't immune to it, he couldn't be the invincible ice man when he was confronted with it. A sexual fear which crept into his mind and promised so many things to him. So many things that he disapproved of. As Sasha introduced himself, he felt that familiar chill up his spine. That tingle at the back of his throat and the widening eyes. He felt that same attraction from that man, that lust. He suppressed a shudder.
As Sasha spoke of his Slavic customs, Jamal took one small step backwards. His dress became tighter and sweat was starting to drip down his forehead. The clothing felt like it was a second skin, the muscles very obvious now. He doubted it was of any consequence to the man approaching him. Time slowed down and he steeled himself for the kiss to come. It would be simple contact, nothing more. There was nothing to worry about, he should just let it be. There was nothing behind it. Nothing behind it. Ignore the man smelling you, ignore it. Be a man, be man, be a man. Cool as ice. Those aren't lips against your lips, those are donkey scrotum. Donkey scrotum was innocent. It wasn't weird. Ignore that you're kissing a donkey's scrotum. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.
After 3.06 seconds, and he knew because Jamal counted, the donkey scrotum parted from his lips and he allowed himself to breathe. In, out. In, out. He opened his eyes to another distressing sight. Sasha kissed the cardboard man and proceeded to whisper in his ear. The cardboard man, the one he despised. The one he so rudely, but pleasantly, ignored earlier when they officially met a few moments earlier. Before he kissed Sash- the donkey's scrotum. He muttered Urdu curses under his breath before turning to Kei. He put on a big smile at his remark. He glanced back at the duo still entangled and started whispering "Pretty fuckin' trippy, gettin' kissed aye? I dunno 'bout you but I gotta take this asshole" he gestured towards the drunkard ripping the leaves "towards the ballroom. Before I kiss the donke- Sasha again, I mean Sasha. Come with if ya want homie."
Jamal nodded once at Kei before walking towards the drunkard. Hurriedly, as if spurned on by some unknown force to do things quicker, he smacked the drunkard on the back of the head. The man went out cold and before long, started snoring in the snow. The half-Pakistani grimaced before dragging the snoring man up and slapping him a few times. The drunk's eyes flew open and flicked towards Jamal before muttering "Jimmy? Did I fuck 'im up bro?"
The undercover cop just grunted before starting to walk towards the ballroom with the drunk in tow. He gestured for Kei to come but with a look that said he could stay if he wanted. He took time to say a small goodbye to cardboard man and donkey scrotum before leaving quickly towards the ballroom. Away from donkey scrotum. No more donkey scrotum. Donkey scrotum no kiss.
Good thing the drunk was too drunk to hear Jamal's crazed mutterings.

History: > The Great War 1914-1921
When the British started running out of soldiers to throw at the front lines during the war, they began to draft Indians, sometimes forcefully, into their forces. This led to plenty of resentment among Indians, and most who were drafted would end up running away first chance they had, not wanting to go fight a war on another continent for somebody else. Underground groups of anti-British citizens began to pop up all throughout the country, and when the war ended, the people of India saw how weak the British had become, and immediately began to rebel against British rule.
> Indian Independence Revolution
After the mass casualties of Indians during The Great War, and years of abuse at the hands of the British Raj, the Indian people of Delhi sparked the Indian Independence Revolution in 1922. Women took to the streets angry with the loss of their sons and husbands, rioting the lack of compensation for their dead from the British Government after the war. Riots started against Raj police forces, and quickly escalated to straight up guerrilla warfare. These attacks were lead mostly by those who were forced to served in the war, taking the skills, they were taught by the British military, and using them against their oppressors. As the fighting escalated, a war hero named Davinder Singh Khattris Jandaji became a prominent leader in the resistance, using his skills learned in The Great War to aid his countrymen against the forces of the British Raj, eventually taking over the northern half of India. Soon after, the country was drowning in the blood of weakened British forces, their government buildings burning and ruined. The war ended when Britain relinquishing control of India to Davinder's forces on the eleventh of June 1930 in Delhi at 16:20:00 and abandoning the British Raj all together.
> The Raj is driven out of the mainland 1930-1935
The remnants of the British Raj still fought back against the newly independent India, despite Britain officially declaring the Raj abandoned. Their forces began to be pushed further South by the united Indian army. Then, in 1935, the strain eventually became too much to handle, and the remnants of the British Raj took what remained of their naval forces, and fled to Sri Lanka, where they would enforce their autonomy with their navy; something the Indians lacked. However, without support from Britain, and limited resources on the island, the "Raj" soon had to resort to piracy, raiding the Indian coast and fishing vessels in order to sustain themselves. Due to these actions, the Raj is classified by India as a terrorist organization, and Indian Forces soon line the South-Eastern coast, watching Sri Lanka for any signs of ship's moving North, so they can respond in time.
> Forceful removal of Brit's from India. 1935-
With the Raj finally driven from the mainland, India soon began forced deportations of British nationals who no longer were recognized as citizens of India. This led to small communities of British people who felt more Indian than British being formed outside of the major cities, where they tried to live as they had been for years. Davinder's government eventually started a program where Indians could sell out their British neighbors for financial compensation. Of course, there were others who were sympathetic to the remaining British, who would try to hide them from the government. Since then, there has been an ongoing effort to remove illegal British citizens from India. There are, however pockets of the British Raj leftover in the most remote villages of India. In these spots, it is not uncommon to find rogue generals acting as war lords, maintaining their control of these small settlements with a handful of men at their backs. These men are considered a terrorist threat to India and are being forcibly removed, and put to trial. If they are found to have harmed any Indian citizens, they are imprisoned, otherwise, they are deported.
> Recovery period begins. 1935-
After the Indian Revolution, the country set to work to reverse the harm done over the last century by British colonists and missionaries. The country focused inward, setting up its own currency and market, establishing trade within the country and with neighbors, financing the arts, and improving infrastructure of the country. There is an ongoing effort of the Indian government demanding that Britain return relics and art works in their museums that were plundered from India; an ongoing issue that has not made any progress. There is a focus on improving working conditions for women and making them more equal in the society, much to the more conservative and traditionalist Indians dismay. Religion is being reworked and reclaimed after the Protestant missionaries vilified Indian culture, Hinduism, and Tantric practices. There is much debate present on whether or not Hindu and Tantric practices should be sterilized, in order to be taken seriously by the rest of the world. Often changes are made to the public depiction of the respective religion depending on which groups are in power in the Indian parliament.
> Pakistan and Burma petition independence. India accepts. 1945
Pakistan and Burma petitioned for independence from India in 1945. India concedes, as the country is still recovering from The Great War and from their war for independence. They also lack a strong currency, and cannot truly support Pakistan and Burma as territories, and so allowed them their independence. Both countries uphold good relations with India, and maintain trade between their nations.
> China invades Tibet. Dalai Lama attempts to flee to India, but is killed under mysterious circumstances in his attempt to escape. 1950
When Communist China invaded and annexed Tibet, the 13th Dalai Lama attempted to flee the Potala Palace, but is killed in his attempt to escape. Before his death, however, he prophesized that he would be reborn in India, near a river with a view of the Himalaya’s. Six years later the Gelukpa school of the Dalai Lama found their 14th Dalai Lama - a Tibetan boy in Malana, Himachal Pradesh, and have taken him to Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, to be reared as the King of Tibet. In response to China's Western crawl, India offers protection to Nepal and Bhutan, and works to guard the borders nearest to China to prevent them from suffering the same fate as Tibet.
> British pirates start resorting to terrorist attacks against India, British warlords in the jungles, enforcing their control of small villages. 1958
Recently British Raj forces have begun to become more violent, leaving Sri Lanka for mainland India using forged documents and coming through official channels to stage terrorist attacks. The pirate forces from Sri Lanka have also been attempting more attacks on the coast to distract from the conflicts occurring inland. British warlords are still present in remote and rural villages of India, and are becoming more violent. In response, the Indian government has called for military forces to sweep through India to depose them and allow the smaller villages to join the rest of Indian in their freedom from colonial reign.
> January 1960, and onward.
As the new year dawned, Davinder has finally prepared to step down, preparing for an election in December. The military has begun checking the most remote villages marked on the maps, hoping to find the remaining Warlords. Meanwhile, the new Dalai Lama continues to receive his teachings, safely within Indian borders. Meanwhile, Indian culture is flourishing, especially with the newly founded Tollywood providing entertainment across the subcontinent.
