{Balalaika always liked to make flashy entrances. It's a really great way to let people know who's boss. In this case, Balalaika makes a quite literally flashy entrance. There's a few billows of flame in front of her as she wills herself onto the plane with them, but she has a twisted grin on her face, pleased with her handiwork.}

That's the second Kousa nightclub. Bando really didn't look into his client if he picked Hotel Moscow to settle his petty disputes over yakuza territory. We just blow them up.

{She blows a puff of smoke out of her cigar with a content sigh} We may intend to destroy all obstacles in our way, but it's still a damn fine way to start off the morning. Still, those flames reached a little farther than we expected. With any luck it won't catch another building on fire or those "good" policemen will be on our asses and we'll have to head back to Roanapur.

That'd be too bad. The fun's just getting started.

Blowing things up?

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

And getting generously paid to do so. It's a win-win situation.

[mercwamouth]

Will you marry me?

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I'm married to my work, but the proposal is sweet of you.

[mercwamouth]

Thought it was worth a shot.

So how much you get paid for this little number?

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

One hundred thousand yen. So about a million US dollars. It's a big job~

[mercwamouth]

...Damn, either you're bad at math or your exchange rate is really out of whack. Almost like the U.S. ain't in charge anymore...

...

...Ah crap.

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

...Ah, I said thousand, didn't I? That would be 100 million.

[mercwamouth]

Whew... For a second there I was afraid America wasn't awesome.

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

Can't say that I'd agree with that either way.

[mercwamouth]

Well obviously that makes you a terrorist.

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

Definitely been called that before. I prefer the term "war monger".

[mercwamouth]

"War profiteer" is more lucrative.

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

Oh, I suppose, but being a branch of the Russian mafia, they don't really appreciate either term for Hotel Moscow.

[mercwamouth]

...What exactly is a "monger"? One who "mongs"? How does one "mong"?

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

Carefully, I guess.

[have a second attempt at this comment. you get Brig first on the basis of I'm already in his account and I'm too lazy to swap out. so! here he is, head cocked, a bit curious, but equally wary] Having trouble?

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

None at all. {Looking him over, then smiles} None at all, Brigadier, isn't it?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Lethbridge-Stewart. [a nod] Captain, I take?

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

Former. The USSR got broken up after the Soviet War, so my official title is "Boss" now, more than anything.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Might I get a name?

[fry-face.livejournal.com]

Balalaika.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

A pleasure, I'm sure... [a pause] Though- yakuza?

{Nods} One of the families recently paid Hotel Moscow to come eliminate an enemy family.
