“The Russian soul is a dark place.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky Svetlana Zolnerowich, Roboticist. Status: Alive.

[languages-georg-blog]

So I used to have a Russian friend who had a pretty thick accent and like a lot of Russians tended to eschew articles. She would say things like “Get in car.” And stuff.

Well one day this asshole who had been kind of tagging along with us asks her why she talks like that because it makes her sound dumb and I still remember her response word for word.

“Me? Dumb? Maybe in America you have to say get in THE car because you are so stupid that people might just get in random car, but in Russia we don’t need to say that. We just fucking know because we are not stupid.”

“If you buy your girlfriend flowers, they will wilt. If you but your girlfriend a phone, it will break. Buy your girlfriend a wrench. Nothing will happen to a wrench.”

Lana slams 4 more coins

Lana inserts the coins and out comes…

[Gakuran] Who put a school uniform in here? If there’s one place you aren’t, it’s definitely any sort of school. It’s neat and well-pressed, but even still… is whoever stocks the machine mocking you?

[Bloody Stake] A bloody stake… the blood looks like it’s been dried out at this point, however. Great for killing vampires! You remember seeing this stake once before…

[9/11 Commission Report] A government authorized copy of the 9/11 Commission Report. Perfect for some light reading.

[Jeremy Jaqueira Dakimura] This is exactly what you think it is. Why? No one knows. You feel kind of weird having this of a dead guy.

The Russian Santa Claus in Siberia (The eastern part of Russia situated in Asia). He’s known as Ded Moroz. -Merry Xmas from Universal Beauty 

[ellenkushner]

Winner of the Best-Dressed Santa Award, hands down!

[swoz]

meanwhile this level 100 wizard

[giantspiders]

Not quite. This is Yakutian Chys Khan, Ded Moroz’s northern “brother”. Russian Federation is a melting pot of different cultures, it’s not just slavs, don’t forget that.

This is Ded Moroz (a.k.a. Father Frost)

And here they are together

wow, don’t forget Snegurochka, his daughter, the snow maiden, who always accompanies him. She has a beautifuk kokoshnik crown that is essentially a big snowflake

or, more contemporarily, a cute toque

don’t leave her out :(

Svetlana inserts the coins and out comes…

[Fruit Salad] A variety of chopped fruits in a little plastic container. Better eat it before it goes bad.

[Claire Marie] One of the newest issues of the famous Claire Marie magazine. Full of beauty tips, fashion, and more.

[tundrarobots]

I”m. never. colouring an albino. again. Maybe.

Guess who is the nerd that is way too well dressed to an investigation/trial?? I mean the dress is my fault for picking something casual for her for once after Penguin Formal Dress Hell but the hair’s purely Lana’s wife- I mean boyfriend. Yeah.

[tundrarobots]

I’ve... drawn way too much of TakeoLana. 5/6 of these pics involve Takeo somehow. Shipping hell, home sweet home,

[tundrarobots]

Takeo: A quiet 'Iay ovelay uoyay' can be heard. that is pig latin for I love you. n e r d.

Svetlana: Lana just ends up chuckling and nudging that frigging nerd a little "What's that even supposed to mean." She doesn't know pig latin, Takeo,

Takeo: I know she doesn't and he knows she doesn't. "It meaaans you're superwonderfulandniceandamazingandiloveyou"

They’re the cutest nerds I’m suing the universe

[greatdespairlodge]

Svetlana inserts 8 of her newly acquired coins.

Svetlana inserts the tokens and out comes… 

[Pointed Staff] A staff for you to cast all your magic spells with! Or of course, you could stab someone, if that’s what your heart desired.[Baby-So-Real Doll] An immensely popular toy on the market, every little boy and girl wants a Baby-So-Real doll! What better way to practice your future lives as slaves to your offspring than with this charming…….eerily realistic blonde plastic toy??

[Novice Ghosthunter’s Kit] A kit that covers all your basic paranormal needs. comes with a free stuffed animal to hug if you ever get spooked while bustin’.[Bubblegum Toothpaste] An unnervingly bright tube of bubblegum flavored toothpaste that looks like it might do more harm to your teeth than good. That 9/10 dentist recommended seal feels like a lie somehow. [Cat Treats] Don’t eat cat treats if you are not a cat. Your mouth will taste like rotting fish for days. There’s a few white pills mixed in with the treats. Weird…[Showa Radio] A classic-style radio, with a retro appearance but state-of-the-art technology on the inside. Now we just need to make a radio station, and we’ll be set![Marina Dakimura] This is exactly what you think it is. Why?

[04/11/2015 00:57:57] Citizen Abel [Iwao, Takeo, Daisuke, Surogu]: You solved it, that's why he makes her blush every five seconds. Red's his favorite color.

I started this around Chapter 2 or so, when Lana and Takeo were hanging around and he kept making her smile somehow. Less often, blush. And then it’s now a constant that he keeps making her smile and blush like all hell

☺★☁

☺ - Do they prefer sour or sweet treats?

Probably sweets. She’s not a sweet tooth or anything, but she doesn’t especially like sour things; actually Lana like milder things really...

★ - Do they prefer daytime or nighttime and why?

Daytime. Lana only Functions at daytime, When night arrives she starts to work slower and slower and passes out at 10pm sharp. She pushes herself beyond sometimes but...

☁ - If they’re caught out in the rain how do they react?

Done!

[tundrarobots]

♪ ☼ ☁

♪ - Are they musically inclined?

NOPE. In all honesty Lana never tried, if at most singing lullabies and songs for her younger siblings but she never put any effort. She sucks terribly.

☼ - Something that/Someone who makes them happy.

Working. Well, at least working gets her to chill and relax, happy... Really happy would be finding some solution for a problem, icecream, Takeo and her family. P much.

☁ - If they’re caught out in the rain how do they react?

In Russia, they rush back inside ASAP no matter what house. In Japan, she tends to ignore it unless in winter, then she gets more careful. She doesn’t get colds from being wet in the rain either

[tundrarobots]

♂ wassup lanas dad

Mr. Zolnerowich: Well, hello there little one!

[He smiles looking down at Nanashi as he’s about 6′5″ or so]

Mr. Zolnerowich: Your clothes are really cute, but why the mask? Are you alright, cold or are you just too shy?
