you spin me round - january catch-all ( open/closed )

[shashka]

Who: Revolver Ocelot (shashka), various others and you?!
What: in which Ocelot does some quests, lurks all over the place, and is otherwise a super upstanding guy.
When: all throughout January
Where: here, there and everywhere...
Warning(s): Ocelot being shady? if anything comes up, I'll throw it up here.

OUTSKIRTS - THE DESERTERS

[ does Ocelot care that much about the well-being of his fellow man? not particularly. does Ocelot see the advantage in finding out just how many have no desire for war? almost certainly. he's dressed down, hair pulled into a different style, so he's not quite as easily recognizable as he might be.

when he sees someone else who doesn't look quite as despondent as the others, he takes a chance to stop and talk to them. ]

What do you make of all of this?

[ blind idealist, or pure realist? what can he say, he wants to know the difference between the fools and the pragmatists. ]

WYVER - THE NOT-SO-COLD WAR

[ Ocelot had been determined not to take sides. he has interests in both Olympia and Wyver, and had hoped to keep himself in the good graces of both sides.

but, it would unfortunately seem that Wyver had other plans for the time being. some genius recognized him as having worn an Olympian pin at the Gala (so much for "friendly competition") and for the last ten minutes or so, had been doing his best to pick a fight with him, despite Ocelot's best efforts to neutralize the threat. ]

This isn't going to end well for you.

[ Ocelot has preferred not to use physical violence, but when the guy throws a punch at him, it's not like there's much else he can do. with a couple deft motions, the other guy is on the ground, and a crowd was beginning to gather.

just perfect. Ocelot, meanwhile seems to take this in stride, giving a shrug. ]

He said we should invade Olympia right away, instead of wait.

[ hopefully that would be enough. lord knows he's seen the same argument break out time and again. but, judging by some of the glares he was getting, it just might not be. he's scanning the crowd, hoping to spot a fellow refugee that might "back him up", so to speak. ]

THESA STATION - I'VE GOT A LOVE THAT KEEPS ME WAITING

[ somewhere in between quests, work, and dodging fists, Ocelot manages to find his way back to the Station on a near-daily basis. sometimes, he might be spotted on an observation deck, looking contemplative. others, he might be in the cafeteria, getting the closest approximation to Russian food they have. but mostly, he's in stasis, trying his best not to linger around one pod too long, and quite frankly, failing miserably. ]

You think that the Orbiters will actually keep their promise? Or will we all end up stuck dealing with some war that none of us actually care about?

[ said to no one in particular. a man has to have some secrets, after all. Ocelot just happens to have more than most. ]

WILDCARD

[ got something else in mind? let me know over at roflskate, or just write something up! ]
