Test Scene: Rasputin!
Rasputin made the last bit of her rounds, the heavy coat guarding against the cool Kiev night and the mask, glasses, and hat protecting something far more important. She may be a member of the Ukrainian government as an elite agent, but if anyone knew that she was the the big hero around here there would be hell to pay. from the drug runners, from the smugglers, and from all those who think Kiev is some backwoods hellhole.

Rasputin sighs behind her mask. She didn't know why the hell people thought that. Kiev was a *huge* city, and the capitol at that. Still, with the government help and the police looking the other way, it made her job all the easier. Also, the magic. That helped quite a bit. The few shots that went her way pull too high, that knife blade somehow gets caught in the fabric of her heavy coat and dropped, that kind of stuff.

And now apparently she had garnered some attention from...someone. Some group of heroes. Maybe the Global Guardians? For now though, she is waiting at the coordinates that were sent to her...and her communicator set to police frequencies in case this is not what it appears to be.

	She shrugs. "I can definitely vouch for everyone but the new guy, but I haven't heard anything bad yet." Petra watches as the new girl disgarbs somewhat. "Nice hair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oksana ignores the bit about her hair, although she can't help but notice the resemblance.

"new guy, you say? I tend to stay briefed on things. Since you came together as a team, you have..."

Fingers start to go up when counting.

"An alien Green Lantern, a half alien half american shrinker, an american shrinker and grower of partial chinese descent, an american...I don't know, an Irishman whose powers I do not know, and yourself. Am I forgetting anyone or is my intel on them lacking?"

	"I do not, myself, but my government would like some representation and I am more than willing to provide it. However, I think considering where my...abilities come from I expect a rejection." This is stated as simple fact. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh? What's your deal?" Petra cocks her head curiously. "And... Hm." She furrows her brow a little. "Look, I get the whole 'duty to your country' thing, but I need to know what you at least believe in what's trying to get done. There's no personal stakes here. This is stuff we're going to see get done because it needs to be done. Simple as that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The 'duty to my country' thing? There is something you need to understand. I am highly decorated, a member of the Ukranian Special Forces, as well as a sanctioned hero. Yet I am routinely ignored, I am sent on wild chases because my 'luck magic' should provide clues when it doesn't work that way, and because I am a private citizen not only do I not get recognition many of the old men in charge see me as arm candy for whatever general I am escorting!"

Petra hit a nerve. Oksana loved her country, she did, but there were few as so keenly aware of its blemishes as she.

"What I believe is opportunity. As much as I hate what my mother was, she provided. And I am convinced if I am provided the opportunity even with her sullied name, so can anyone. Does that answer that question?"

	Petra is quiet for a few moments, then just grins. "Girl, you're gonna get along just fine with us. And honey, I'm gonna find you some arm candy as soon as we get a chance to hit the town." "Luck magic, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

...Petra, now you have a rather confused Ukranian woman looking at you. So instead of addressing that, Oksana is going to go elsewhere.

"That is the best way to describe it. Luck, probability, curses and the like. Just by thinking, I alter probability around me. I push it harder, I ensure bad things happen to those intending to do bad things to me. Push beyond that...I break into Chaos Magic and I could be possessed."

	An eyebrow gets craned at that. "How does one be a 'sort of goddess'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, she's never claimed to be one herself, but some people kind of, um, worship her?" Petra grins awkwardly. It had always been kind of weird like that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	risky_russian 2012-10-01 12:38 am UTC (link)
	That's going to get a bad look from Oksana on that. Her relationship with faith was...interesting, but the idea of someone worshiping a hero like a god didn't sound right to her. "Strange. Some people, I suppose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2012-10-01 01:43 am UTC (link)
	Petra's belief system is a bit more practical. She believes in ketchup on fries and not on her steak, which should always be medium rare at most, lots of sunscreen, and regular checkups along with safe sex. "So... do you have a jetpack or any way to get around? I can help if you don't; just trying to keep a headcount on who on the team needs assistance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	risky_russian 2012-10-01 02:38 am UTC (link)
	"I don't have a special means to get around, if that's what you mean. Not without risking possession," Oksana replied, not sure how to put nicely 'If i try to move faster than normal, there's a chance a being of Chaos will inhabit me and attempt to destroy all things'.

	What kind of Russian secret agent doesn't have a jetpack? "...yeah, we should probably try to avoid that. I've got airfare covered if you're set to go now. Should be a good intro with the others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am qualified to fly both attack helicopters and several jet fighters. Get me a plane and I will probably be able to fly it." Hopefully that alleviates the disappointment? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2012-10-01 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Cool. Need to see about getting a team jet anyway. Good to know we've got someone to pilot it." She pauses. "You like burgers and fries?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...I have never had them. Special forces keep a strict diet, and I've kept it up. Have to to be able to keep running around like an idiot from rooftop to rooftop." Not that her genetics liked that choice. Stupid stretchmarks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2012-10-01 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	Petra's face? It's like o.o then it's like O_O and then she's hugging Oksana. "Oh you poor thing. Don't worry. I'll take care of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	risky_russian 2012-10-01 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	Oksanas first reflex is to punch her.But her training kicks in and she grits her teeth at the hero bearhugging her. For whatever reason that would be. Also, Petra? Oksana is either smuggling hams underneath her loose fitting trenchcoat or she is quite well endowed up top. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2012-10-01 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	Petra pauses. "Hm." She tightens and loosens the hug a couple times. Then she looks Oksana in the eye, taking half a step back and holding her by the shoulders. "Dude." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	risky_russian 2012-10-01 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	"What." Do not bring attention to it, woman. Oksana gets enough "attention" about her figure from her superiors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2012-10-01 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	Petra lets her go, and gives a sage nod. "Yeah... you're clearly ready for America. So... anything else I should know besides the potential world ending?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
