> > 𝙴𝚇𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚃𝙰𝚁𝙶𝙴𝚃 𝙳𝙴𝚃𝙰𝙸𝙻𝚂 ... 2000 hours @ town square, the old quarter, krovograd ... [ warning ... 2/3 others in line of sight ]
preparations for vesna night had started some three to four weeks ago ─ she had been walking through the square dressed as a civilian rather than an agent when one of the old women had beckoned her over with a wave of a wrinkled hand and mălina had been helpless to refuse the test run of honey cakes or the demand that she join the other women in the renactment on the night itself. ( you were a dancer, yes ? she had looked up, mouth full of black bread and churned butter, to nod. it seemed almost criminal to do anything else. good. we need someone strong to lift up daria here. yes ? her gaze drifted over the girl, taking in the sunken cheeks and feverish bright eyes, and knew there was no other answer except to nod again. ) if she had known that it involved costumes, years old expired concealer, old poster colors from a children's paint set and a mask that fitted oddly over her forehead, she might have put up more of a resistance, but the part had been played and her reward had been pressed into her palms, still warm from the fire. landing down with a heavy grunt onto one of the empty chairs situated in a half - circle around the bonfire, she dragged the mask over her head and pinched at the cake half - heartedly, though the first bite reminded her of the ones she had already tasted in the days leading up to it, burned or undercooked and shoved into the mouth to avoid wastage, and the memory served only to make her flinch away from the sweetness, holding out the treat to the person closest to her. ❝ ... here. i only pinched a bit off that corner. ❞ mălina looked a little green around the gills ─ the funny - smelling paint that had been streaked across her cheeks did little to help with her appearance. ❝ it feels wrong to just toss it, considering ... ❞ this was all some of them had. she swallowed around the honey - soaked cake and offered the other person a smile and a change in topic, hoping her words had not offered insult where there was none. ❝ i distinctly remember my father saying something about jumping over a bonfire once, but that could be another festival. do you think you could clear that ? ❞ chin lifted, pointing towards the crackling fire pit.
She is familiar, but with her face half hidden under a mask and smear of paint, Viktor doesn't venture a guess. When the blonde speaks, though, the voice does give him a clue; namely that she isn't a local. He opts not to let on, accepting the honeycake with a smile.
"You didn't like it?" He asks, taking a sip from his drink and letting the vodka warm his throat before he takes a bite of the cake with a shrug that says 'suit yourself'. "...My mother never learned how to make them. I only ever had them from the village ladies."
Eyes trailing to the bonfire, he considers her question for a moment. "With a running start, perhaps. But I'm not keen to try it now. Too many people to see me if I fail." He looks back at her then, curious. "Could you?"
location: town square thread status: open ( 0 / 5 )
the proximity of the bonfire brings tears to nika's eyes, the skin of her cheeks uncomfortably tight from the heat. all her gaiety from past vesna's nights is gone. this year there is no sister to dance with or steal honey cakes from — even their mother is conspicuously absent, opting to stay home instead of celebrate the occasion. as the flames dance before her, nika works hard to swallow the lump in her throat.
she steps back from the fire, eager to banish her self-pitying thoughts, and her back collides with a solid mass. "oh shit!" the cup she's holding sways precariously, but somehow she saves it from toppling. "i am so sorry. i didn't get any on you, did i?"
For most, the cold and frost would sting and prickle at their skin, but Viktor barely feels it now. It's the cold he's always known, the kind that runs in his blood. Despite the pall that hangs over them like the bonfire's smoke now hangs over the town square, the cold barely penetrates. He's been listening for the most part, absorbing the tenor of conversation in a way that's become second nature, and he almost doesn't notice Nika so close until he feels her collide with his chest. Instinctively he reaches out to steady her, hand on her shoulder, and he flashes a thin smile.
"No, I don't think so," he assures her, looking down as his thick leather jacket. "Don't worry about it." As he takes her in, he can't help something that softens in his expression, Viktor clearing his throat. "...I won't ask how you're doing. I imagine you're tired of answering that question." It's a feeling he knows well, a life of loss creating a deep sense of familiarity. "Can I get you anything? Another drink?"
“A beast can never be as cruel as a human being, so artistically, so picturesquely cruel.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ (via xshayarsha)
VIKTOR LVOVICH BOYATA. FIELD OPERATIVE, BLACK VEIL.
❄️ ( john david washington. cis male. he/him/his ) in krovograd , survival is a test of both skill and morality — will VIKTOR LVOVICH BOYATA withstand the horrors , or will the city break them ? over the comms , their voice cuts through the static : “I'M AN INSTRUMENT. I HAVE NO TIME FOR FEAR.” our records confirm they are a 40 year old FIELD OPERATIVE , assigned to BLACK VEIL for SEVEN YEARS. field reports describe them as QUICK-WITTED AND DISCIPLINED , though firsthand accounts suggest they are equally UNBENDING AND ABRASIVE under pressure. there’s something about them — something in the way they move , speak , or fight — that brings to mind PRAY FOR ME ( THE WEEKND AND KENDRICK LAMAR ). maybe it's just a coincidence. or maybe , it says everything.
