[Oh. Oh. He wasn't... expecting this, honestly.]

... well if you really want to know, I... have been trying to quit. Trying.

[A pause, before he shuffles around his pockets. Moments later, he pulls out a pack of cigarettes-- half-empty, but also a couple of years stale. The pack of someone going through cycles of quitting and relapsing, in other words.]

Uh-- these are kinda stale, though. 'Been holding on to 'em for a while. Unless you don't... mind that.

Trying to quit, and yet you keep them in your pocket? [He looks remarkably unconvinced here. His eyebrows go up, then down, but he doesn’t say anything. He’s couth enough to wait until after he’s already taken the cigarette.]

[And yet, Ivan can taste the stale at the cigarette’s edges when he lights up. There’s a certain hollow at the core that’s unmistakable, isn’t there? ... he smirks!]

Well, no. I don’t mind. Not that I’m one to critique a gift, of course. Though, I do have to ask... why dangle your temptations in front of your nose? You don’t have to. Are you having fun?

At the height of the Great War, Ivan has a conversation with a Russian soldier.

[nastoychivost]

Nicolas II reckons with the consequences of Bloody Sunday, just not in the way you might expect. Ivan isn't particularly impressed.

Sisyphus Observed, ch 1/? 

It's the summer of 1891, and Russia needs creditors after their German allies have shut their wallet. It just so happens that France has money and a painful lack of allies. Ideological differences abound.

hey all! i know it’s been a while since i’ve kicked around here, but in an effort to prove to myself that my muse isn’t dead, i’m starting a writing series following ivan thru the 1890-1990s called sisyphus observed. i’ll post my chapters here since that seems to be the most fitting place for them, this is just a kinda/sorta update. i won’t say i’m done here forever in terms of rp, but it’s nice to use this blog for something. thanks for reading!

hailcolumbia reblogged your post and added:

I’ll accept “Top Shit”.

Okay. In Russian, that would be дурацкая жопа. 

You should find that acceptable.

[nastoychivost]

I don't prefer texting, but if you insist. I got a new phone, what should I call you now?

I can't believe you've placed your postbox so close to my message. Dreadful.

It’s 2020. You can text me and pretend it was the wrong number instead.
