viiuva:
Despite the smile, the posture, the relaxed way that fingers comb through carefully woven silk threads of red hair, Natasha keeps watching through him. The way he doesn’t resort to words, but doesn’t dismiss her either.
Confusion. Decisiveness. There’s a mission and she can recognize it.
She steps closer, feet almost floating through pavement as a dancer would sway on the tips of her toes. The dress flares in the wind, but the holster of her gun doesn’t show. The widow, instead, extends her invite with finely printed text (and surely some sort of hidden code engraved on the paper) toward the man — Natalie Roswick & plus one.
“ You need one of these or… ”, her brow quirks and voice lowers, perceptible only to his ears. “ I don’t know what you’re trying to do and, god forbid, Rogers wouldn’t never see the end of it if he knew I was here either — with you. But there’s information I need to bid on and I don’t want things to get messy. Do you know who I am? ”
Red lips quirk upward into a smile, hand falling along with the invite to her side, a sway of her head to adjust back the long threads of hair. Little things that keep everyone unsuspecting. Friends catching up, a woman flirting, nothing that was worth watching closely.
A dancer, of course, gliding on poised feet-- skilled. she’s a huntress, a spider, a b l a c k w i d o w, a siren, calling out her song before snapping a neck; he senses her looking through him, scanning the area. Yet she keeps her eyes on h i m. She knows what she’s doing. Glancing down at the card that’s been offered, extended, he doesn’t know if he should trust her, knows he shouldn’t. But he does. He can mold and twist this to get his way. “ Rogers? “ Steve Rogers? He’s read about him in a museum. Brows knit momentarily before relaxing like waves, crashing, then steady — u n p r e d i c t a b l e. He’d mention how he doesn’t know who she is, but that would be giving her an advantage, wouldn’t it? The fox is more agile than the w o l f when it needs to be. It’s almost mechanical, his speech, wiped of all previous memories once again, a clean slate, a slab of clay to be shaped and molded by toxic hands, poison leaking in. There’s a lack of life in his eyes, a puppet being controlled, trying to break free — he looks back at her hand, seeing the outline of a holster, looking back into her eyes.
@wiintxr a starter !!
Steps slow to a stop — she doesn’t know why he’s here.
Gun at the hip, one single movement away from picking it under the opening at her flowing black dress — an opening that reaches far too high for decency, but helps for practicality. It’s not a thread (he’s not a threat), but she doesn’t know why. Turning carefully to face him, features gentle and with a flash of feigned surprise to her eyes, Natasha finally acknowledges his presence.
❝ Forecast says snow might fall tonight. I haven’t seen snow in Moscow in too long… ❞, there’s a smile on her lips, although careful and calculated. She speaks in English — part of her cover as a foreign associative to some large arms company, interested in the auction. It’s not perfect, but it works. Why? ❝ I didn’t imagine you’d be interested in this sort of things: balls and auctions. Something you’ll be bidding on? ❞ Why are you really here?
Москва—? W o l f stalking the v i x e n; larger footsteps, but quicker when need be—; why is she speaking of Moscow? What does she know? Speaking so nonchalantly like she k n o w s. Were they on a previous mission together? He listens to her, the English rolling off of her tongue like blood into water - red camouflaged in plain sight. Fitting. Why would she mention him not being interested in this sort of t— миссия миссия миссия м и с с и я “ ‘Browsing. “ It’s perfectly matched in English; smooth, n a t i v e—; there’s something specific he’s meant to grab. His eyes are dull, yet focused, scanning around before meeting the woman’s once more.

drippingredledgers:
a gust of winter filters in her presence. a brisk blizzard that descends in the night’s sky, a blanket of suffocation which sneaks up on their victim —— too distracted by the star’s above, providing the perfect time to drain the air from your prey’s throat. footsteps behind powder to her feet, a hushed silence yet it’s the frost which breathes from his breath that alerts her to his stand. there’s no flinching, no flickering, only frigidness —— frozen by the air. a russian tongue laces the syllables, a familiar sensation which sparks a muted past.
❛ зависит от ответа вы ищете. ❜
lying upon his stomach in the frozen precipitation, the incarnation of 0° celcius and below keeps a carnivores’ f o c u s e d glare upon their prey, their target--practice to him. it intrigues him, observing the victim casting a gaze upon the lights above; do these men even t h i n k of the wolves which run these woods? he doesn't ponder such questions, dismissing them nearly as quickly as he can KILL, a single shot between the eyes. he simply huffs at the reply, an exhale through his nose, quick{!!}.
drippingredledgers----;
SHARP orbs flick towards his responsibility, his example of precision----acting and using these years of training, passing them down to the next. He has not had a target in d a y s. ‘’ Вы можете обвинить меня? ‘’ He speaks in a h u s h e d whisper, still searching for the man.

Monsters exist in margins. They are thus avatars of chance, impurity, heterodoxy; abomination, mutation, metamorphosis; prodigy, mystery, marvel. Monsters are indicators of epistemic shifts.
Ten Theses on Monsters and Monstrosity (VII), Allen Weiss (via elucipher)
Metal arm, specialized weapons, he seems familiar. No time to negotiate. ” —- I suggest you put the gun down, before you make me do something I’ll regret.”
Orders were given by those who kept the machine and its programming up to date, placing various scripts and codes into this system of partial organics. There is no verbal reply, yet a click of a firearm breaches the air with a man made s c r e a m, neck of a material shaped by men, thinking of themselves as gods, cracking.
