Sail With Me Into The Dark

Aleksandr | Thirty-Five | Homosexual There's not much to tell about me. You shouldget to know me for yourself. You won't regret it. [main rpg]

[meggie-todd-blog]

Already having told Landon that she wouldn’t be available until later that evening because she was going out to dinner with a friend, Meg had gotten ready at an easy pace and with a short text to Aleks telling she was on her way, stepped out into the cool London air. She was looking forward to catching up with Aleks, despite the news that Christian and him had broken off their engagement. She hadn’t exactly told Christian that she was meeting up with Aleks, still giving her support to him as family, but seeing as her brother had failed to mention that the wedding wasn’t to be — and damn it, she would’ve made such a great bridesmaid — she felt justified in keeping this from him. 

Finally arriving at the place Aleks was living in now, she knocked softly on the door. “Hey, blue eyes, it’s me.”

[aleksandrkarkov]

   Things had been rather crazy in the last week. Aleksandr had holed himself down in his flat, not wanting to go anywhere for a day or two, but after everything had passed, there was clean up to be done. Aleksandr had decided to help the city, and the police department, with cleaning up some of the damage that was done during the night, and when he was done, he got in the shower and cleaned up. He knew Meg would be over soon and he didn't want her to have to wait around for him. He got ready as quickly as he could and smiled when he heard the knock on the door. He heard her call from outside, and when he opened the door he just brought her in for a hug. "Hey, Meggie." he said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. I'll be ready to go in about five seconds. I just need to get my shoes on." He held the door open for her so she could enter, and shut it once she was in. "How are you holding up?" he asked.

…Well, it’s good to see you’re doing better than ever, Aleks. Have your memory back yet? I hope so, it would be a bit insulting if you didn’t remember who I was.

Were you around for the Blackout…? I thought Roman left to you those handy little gadgets he had. No thought into a working generator on his part, I take it? 

[aleksandrkarkov]

  Emrys, hi.

 Yeah, I got my memory back. Not everything, but a lot of it is back, and whatever I don't remember must not have been that important anyway. I was, yeah, and he did, but a lot of those gadgets run on electricity. And not exactly. He probably meant to, but he was busy with his new family, so I don't blame him at all. Its...really good to see you, though. How have you been?

[aleksandrkarkov]

I will never understand the need for the masses to go into panic mode that involves destruction. There are better ways to deal with issues than to destroy things that aren't yours. Its ridiculous.

[aleksandrkarkov]

   As the lights went out, Aleksandr's heart stopped, then started against going five hundred miles an hour. He immediately got up and set the alarm, going to his side table to get his gun and held it in his hands as he curled up on the couch. He wasn't sure what to expect, who to expect, but he refused to be caught off guard this time.

   He picked up his phone, which had news alerts on it, and checked to see if it was more than just his house, and it was. There were alerts coming in that the entire city was in a black out state and to, of course "remain calm" but that was hard for anyone to do when something like this happened. Even though it wasn't just his flat, and even though his alarm system was set and he had protection in his hands, he was still scared, nervous. He didn't know what was going to happen.

[aleksandrkarkov]

   "You never realise how big a house really is until you're alone in it. Too much space, too much silence, too much of...everything, really. It feels like I've been trapped in here. There's no where to go, no one to see; I guess this is what happens when you go away for a while. Life moves on, people move on, they can't just wait around for you to catch up to them."

[thebutcherofstockholm]

Yeah I agree, I’ve been to some amazing places. Seen amazing things this world is massive and vast and there so much to do and see. People don’t know what is on the doorstep let alone outside their own country and that's a real shame if you ask me.

[aleksandrkarkov]

  "I agree. I think its important to get out and see what you can of the world. Even if all you can do is go to the next town over, that's better than not traveling at all. I hope to do more of it, this time, preferably, with friends. Traveling is fun, but its better when you have someone to share it with."

[maxwelldexterevans]

Cool. I’ve always wanted to travel out of fucking Britain. Things get real grey here you know? Ah, people value my brain, you see. Without it, I am as good as dead. I have been told that so many times. Well, things can change or not? I don’t know. It’s nice to meet you too, Aleks. So what are you planning to do since you’re back from vacay now?

[aleksandrkarkov]

  "They definitely do. A lot of bad has happened since I've been here, but there's been good as well. It just takes a lot to focus on the small amount of good rather than the large amount of bad. I think anyone without their brain would be good as dead. But I know what you're saying. At least they value something of you, right? Its better than them not valuing you at all. Baby steps. Its nice to meet you too. I think I'm gonna try and see if my old job will have me back. The branch here is under different management than from when I was first here, but here's to hoping they'll let me back with open arms."

[queen-dia-rp-deactivated2015102]

I know it is probably shocking too, that I missed a person. Not that I really need a job or anything, but I was satisfied with the one I had. No one else will let me be rude to their clients. They want me to be nice. I don’t understand how that helps.

I’m working for the BBC now, as an intern. I hate everyone there. Where are you working? Is it anything like doing Romo’s PR work?

I think I have many assets the mob could use, like my lack of caring.

[aleksandrkarkov]

  "You know how to be nice, besides, you're very good at handling yourself in any situation you're thrown into. I bet you're the best intern they have there at the BBC. I think I'm still employed by him, but a lot has happened lately and I haven't exactly been working. I'm thinking of finding new work or maybe starting back up with what I was doing before. We'll see what happens.

   The mob tends to care, though. Just not in the way the 'normal' folks care. But I still think you'd make a very good minion for the mob boss. Unless you want to be the mob boss, in that case, you'd make the perfect mob boss."

[meggie-todd-blog]

Huh, well, I haven’t had proper Indian in a while, so we could go to that Indian place around the corner from my building?

[aleksandrkarkov]

   "I'd really like that. That'd be perfect. Let me know when you're ready to go, okay? And... I'm really glad you don't hate me."

[thebutcherofstockholm]

Nice, heard Russia is a nice place to visit. My nephew’s name is Rory, he works at a florist here in London, Came to be closer to him and to be closer to friends that i’ve known for years also. Just needed a change of scenery Stockholm was getting stagnant and stale

[aleksandrkarkov]

  "Its my home. I mean, I technically grew up in Siberia, but we all speak relatively the same language. I feel like anywhere can get boring if you're there too long. I think its why people like to travel. Seeing something new is always a breath of fresh air."

[maxwelldexterevans]

Oh? Where did you go to? I guess you’re just lucky then? Usually people are much more concerned if I have injured my head and whether or not I have retained knowledge or my smarts. They can’t be bothered if I had injured myself physically — because even if you’re paralysed from head to toe but if your brain is working like Stephen Hawkings, you’re still valued. Or at least that is what drilled into my head. Anyway, I doubt it, good sir. But never say never eh? I’m Max by the way. What’s your name, chipper?

[aleksandrkarkov]

   "I went all over. Paris, Russia... I wouldn't exactly call myself lucky. I don't think that's true. Everyone is valued. You might not see it yet, but you're valuable to someone. Exactly never say never. Unless you're using it in that sense. Then yes, say it. Its a pleasure to meet you, Max. I'm Aleksandr, but everyone just called me Aleks."

[queen-dia-rp-deactivated2015102]

I like giving people sore eyes.

Aleks, I’ve missed my Russian whore. You know I can’t tell a lie. 

I’m at present seeking other work opportunities. I think we would fit in well as the front of the house for a mob organization. 

[aleksandrkarkov]

   "Well, I'm glad you missed me. I certainly missed you. We're both a bit out of work, aren't we? Well, not so much me, but I definitely took a very, very long break from work because of circumstances both beyond and in my control. But I'm back now. Working for the mob would be better than being hunted by the mob. That just might come in handy."

[halric-kingston]

Me too, darling. I’d be pissed with myself if I am caught up again. Being caught in rubbles twice is more than enough. 

[aleksandrkarkov]

  Exactly how I'm feeling. Considering the last time I was caught in rubble, I lost my memory. Not exactly something I want have happen again.

[meggie-todd-blog]

It’s okay, Aleks. I get it. I was just worried, is all — I mean, I was afraid some other crazy ex of yours had shown up.

I was going to close the club, but I can have someone else do it, clear my schedule for you. That way I won’t have to rush and we can catch up in peace over dinner, what do you say?

[aleksandrkarkov]

   Hah. No. He's the only crazy ex I have. I'm sorry I worried you. That sounds perfect. Anywhere specific you want to go? I'm not particularly picky when it comes to food. So whatever you're in the mood for, I'll find something.

[evelyn-evie-reid-deactivated201]

I would absolutely love to go to France with you, Aleks. My last trip was so much shorter than I wanted. That’s…that’s a good way to look at it, I’m glad you’re handling it so well. Timing…sometimes the timing is just all wrong. And then other times it is perfectly right but there is just too little of it. I’m alright…doing better…moving forward. I feel like I can breathe a little easier now. I started classes this week, did I tell you I signed back up for school again? I feel rather rusty and most of the people are so much younger than me, but it feels good to be in a classroom again.

[aleksandrkarkov]

 We should definitely look into it. Start the planning now so we know what we need and how much we need.

  I just...after what happened with Ivan and my memory, I know I was taking years off his life. He got....smothering, in a way. And I understand why, and I love him for loving me so much, but it was getting to be too much. I hate what I was doing to him. I wanted him to be able to breathe again.

  You did? Evie, I'm so proud of you. Honestly. And they can't be that much younger than you. There's always gonna be someone ridiculously older than you in your class. I think I still have some of my books, its safe to say I'm not going back to school, so if you need a text book of some kind or something, let me know and I'll see what I have. Even with the couple of moves I've done, they should be with the rest of my books.

    "You are a sight for very sore eyes."

[halric-kingston]

Howling winds, heavy rain and what not. London is oddly quiet.. always at this time of the year. And every one who has lived in this city long enough would know that there is another huge storm brewing waiting for its time. Wonder what it is this time round….

[aleksandrkarkov]

   "Whatever it is, hopefully it leaves me out of it this time around. I don't think I could handle being caught up in yet another storm."
