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! ]

[ it hadn't been that long since they'd last seen one another, but Ocelot figured that given the circumstances, downtime probably wasn't going to be something that would be easy to come around. that was why he decided to invite Anders over to share a couple of drinks, and some food he'd picked up earlier at the store (he would not wish his sour cream laden cooking on anyone). DD, of course, was waiting patiently at the door.

just two friends, hanging out, being bros. ]

[ despite their very different tastes in fashion, animals, and... most things, Ocelot did like Dorian. if nothing else, he was an incredibly entertaining individual and shockingly astute and charming when the situation called for it.

not to mention, he had certain abilities that might come in handy for a task that Cree had set out for. it was a good deal too. a fifty-fifty split, and in the end, they'd have to toss a coin for the promised picture of the bird.

still, as they stand at the... entrance of the crypt, Ocelot can't help but feel something odd. it was similar to the feeling he'd gotten some twenty years ago, like someone was watching him. ]

You buy the rumours that this place is haunted?

[ just one more thing to watch out for. at the very least, at least this will give him an opportunity to try and hone those so-called spiritual powers. ]

[ meeting up with a near total stranger to find out information on the Institute, which, from everything he's heard was an incredibly dubious organization at best?

well. stranger things have definitely happened for Ocelot. and, at least from what he's seen of the other man, he looks capable enough. Ocelot is dressed for the occasion, wearing casual enough clothing, with only his gloves carrying a slight splash of red. he waits by a vendor, outside the Institute, casually browsing wares.

(worst case: if the guy doesn't show, he'll just meet Dorian for lunch. surprise him. but, he's pretty sure that he will.)

this was going to be interesting. ]

Thesa Station

[poolhall_killer]

[After his medical class, Venom pays his own visit to the stasis area. He's been keeping a small amount of flowers near one of the pods, and clearing away any wilted ones. He's been coming to this part of the station less, and lately he's been feeling guilty. He hopes Lord Zato will forgive him for being away from his side for so long.

As he's replacing some old flowers with fresh ones, he hears a familiar voice. Curious, Venom looks around and spots the other visitor.]

Ocelot?

closed to byerly (and potentially prior).

[shashka]

[ throughout his time in Olympia, Ocelot has been an exemplary guardsman. well, if you discounted the fact that the was also working for Cree on the side, and cared little about the actual job. but, he'd certainly done his part in appearing as morally upright as he possibly could. still, when he was given a chance to look into the guard with a close, personal friend (or two), who was he to refuse?

patiently, he waits for Byerly to meet up at the location. time to see the other man in action, so to speak or, at least a different kind of action. ]

thesa station

[nanamari]

[ Ana is up at Thesa Station at least once a week, and often more. She adds to her small cache of ammunition, she trades herbs and recipes with the chef, but most of her time is spent near the stasis units with a thermos of hot tea. She's on her way to one unit in particular when she hears a familiar voice.

She's seen Ocelot here from time to time, usually at a distance. She heads toward him; she's gone to no effort to hide her presence, so she assumes he's aware of her well before she comes to a stop at his side. ] I'm starting to think both of those things will happen.

[ She inclines her head by way of greeting. ] Would you like some company? I brought tea.
