[So Natalia has watched her video, she's sat on the ground (in the grass, she's not really questioning that just yet)with a brow cocked at the device on her wrist, and she's assessed that this is not her comm device. She can't establish communication through any of her normal channels. She's also pretty pissed that someone has stripped her of her electronics.

She sighs pulling her hair back into a long tail, so the next logical step here is... Obviously to address the network. And try to get a handle on what is going on.]

So... I'm guessing no one has seen a ten foot tall angry gorilla with an automatic passing through here.

[Yes, a gorilla with a machine gun. Not a guerrilla, and actual primate. Fur, fangs, opposable thumbs, surprisingly intelligent, a quality most guerrillas seem to lack. The thing knew Russian, for godsake. That's pretty damn impressive for a better than thousand pound ape.]

Okay, well...What about a guy, kind of broody and rough around the edges, wearing a dinky little mask that only covers his eyes? Black pants, seems to have an allergy to sleeves... a metal arm? Might answer to James if you're really nice? We were together just as my friend Koko attacked.

[She pauses long enough to take a breath and squint at the area she's in.] No?

[Natalia shrugs.] I guess then I'm going to need to request an evac? Something tells me I'm not going to get one though...

[See? She can be pretty cool, and all that but let's not get off on the wrong foot by calling her cutesy little pet names, okay?]

Gonna give you a warning, I'm new here and I don't want to blow any chance I have of making new friends. [Pfft.. she doesn't make friends. But she'll deliver that little threat with a sweet smile.] Call me 'toots' or any thing like it again and I might have to hurt you. Nothing personal.

But for the record, I'm getting the same feeling about this place.

[dowhatisays]

You got a lot of attitude for a broad.

This is going well... Nat makes /all/ the friends.

[theassassin]

Aww... Sweetie, you don't know the half of it.

well Charlie isn't giving her much to work with

[dowhatisays]

Yeah, and I don't plan to.

He's really not...

[theassassin]

[She shrugs and disconnects. No skin off her back.]

[dowhatisays]

[Whoa, hey there. No one hangs up on Charlie Luciano. He may not know how to work this thing very well, but at least he can figure out how to call her back.]

Hey, we weren't done here.

[theassassin]

[She arches a brow.] We weren't? I'm pretty sure you said you don't plan on knowing more about me, and I'm not going to beg you to talk to me so...

I hate to say it, but [She looks around and drops her voice a little.] I think we're done here.

[dowhatisays]

Maybe I'm just getting interested.

That shit with the gorilla. You yanking somebody's chain here or what?

[theassassin]

That was quick.

No. What reason would I have to do that? The last thing I remember before being here was a gorilla with a gun. Kinda wanted to make sure no one got hurt while I was taking a nap or whatever happened.

[dowhatisays]

It's how I work.

I can think of a few people back home who's pay good money to see shit like that.

[theassassin]

Good for you.

I can think of a few people that probably paid good money to make something like that. So what, you want to go into the gorilla business?

[dowhatisays]

Maybe I'm looking for a good laugh and it sounds like a funny story. How much are ten foot gorillas with machine guns going for these days?

[theassassin]

More than I'm willing to pay for one. Not sure if it's a funny story or not, it was trying to kill me.

[dowhatisays]

And what'd you do to piss off a gorilla?

[theassassin]

Tried to take what it was protecting, but my partner and I were just a few steps behind.
