Snake wasn't one to take things slow, and there still were a number of things -- and of people -- on his agenda. Phoenix, still, he wouldn't give up on that one. Janie who he was sure he could kill. His brother, of course. His species.

So many things to do.

Nevertheless, there was no need to rush things either. Tonight was time for a little break, for musing about past achievements and planning his further actions. So he sat on the couch in his comfortable apartment, courtesy of Vahl, with a laptop and a glass of good wine within reach, looking forward to a long, relaxed night without any interruptions.

Snake wanted a quiet evening, but Raissa had other plans. She banged on the door, with Giovan at her side.

Snake was so absorbed in an article he read on his laptop that the sudden sound actually startled him.
Muttering a curse, he put the glass aside and walked over to the door. He wasn't in his usual gear and didn't even bother to pick up a weapon, as he confidently relied on his teleport ability, should it become necessary.

"What is it now?" he asked, opening the door.

"Hello there." she grinned, the tried to push herself into the apartment. "I told the mook here that I wanted to see you. I'm terribly bored."

He stopped short when he recognized his visitors. Giovan he knew, of course, but it took him a moment to remember where he had seen the girl. She was a pleasing sight at least, so he did in fact step back from the door to let her and Giovan in.

"Sure, make yourself at home", he said, and it sounded almost hospitable. "I'm not much of an entertainer, however, so -- what are you doing here?" The question was directed at both his visitors.

Raissa walked directly to the glass of wine and took a sip, while Giovan sat down on the couch.

"She wants an alliance." Giovan explained

Snake just watched and let her have his wine.

Giovan's comment, however, made him grin, however involuntarily. "An alliance? But we barely know each other."

"I move fast" Raissa smiled. "And I'd really like to make things hell for someone. Anyone. I'm not too picky."

"You do, obviously." Snake got two more glasses, deciding to show at least a bit of hospitality now that things became interesting, and sat down on a chair opposite to the couch.

"Well, happens I know a couple of people you might be interested in. What can you do?"

"I managed to kill the shiny once" she smiled "Tortured Phoenix, almost managed to kill his buddy, whatever his name is. Is that enough? And I was there when you and the retard got freed, remember?"

She hated Revka, and wasn't sure why he was still walking around.

Raissa had Snake's full attention now. Of course he remembered her from their previous encounter, but everything else was news to him. Good news, that is.

"Alright, I'm impressed. You really managed to killed the tin man? Wow." He grinned. "And Phoenix seems to enjoy collecting enemies. The guy's annoying, isn't he?"

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

"He managed to come back." she frowned, still not sure how that happened. "He's a jerk, I'm not sure how the guy has any friends."

[wherever-yourun.livejournal.com]

"Ah, what a shame", he muttered as he learned that Tin Man was still around. Since he knew Vahl, the idea of coming back from the dead didn't seem so unbelievable to him as it used to be.
"But it's more fun when they do have friends, isn't it? They get all defensive about them."

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I relish in messing with their friends and family." She thought back to what she'd done to Carly and Becky, and couldn't wait to start causing misery and mayhem again. "What have you done?"

[wherever-yourun.livejournal.com]

"You do? Huh. I think I like you. Rare to meet someone who frankly admits stuff like that." It sounded honest. It meant she probably was insane, but who was he to judge?

"I have caused Phoenix some trouble, too. Also to his friend, that short girl who has a good taste in blades. Not to mention my ungrateful fool of a brother."
