[If there's anything Alek learned from Snake other than that boxes make decent hiding places and conveniently placed dirty magazines are probably a setup, is that getting drunk is a good way to forget your troubles.]

[With that logic in mind, Alek is currently in the first floor bar, already half drunk and deciding it would be worthwhile to make

[Para-Medic looks intent on spiking the booze. That's because she is. She has several small bottles of pills in her hand, which she hides at the sight of the drunk man. She guesses that it would be best to act cheery. People took longer to remember a friendly face than a cruel one.]

Hey! Are you alright?

[She smiles innocently.]

[hall_patrol]

[He blinks up at the woman, taking a moment to say anything as he processes...]

Para-Medic?

[They'd had a Para-Medic in the hall patrol for awhile, until she mysteriously disappeared a few months ago. So he's just going to assume it's her returned.]

You are back?

[para_mania]

...back?

I don't think I'm the Para-Medic you know.

[Damn, he's not yet drunk enough not to recognise her if she spiked stuff.]

[hall_patrol]

Oh.

[He's actually disappointed- even with the differences him and that Para-Medic had had, he actually missed her.]

Hello new one, I am Aleksandr Koslov, head of patrol.

[He gives her a messy salute.]

[para_mania]

Patrol? What patrol?

[She looks confused. Para-Medic has no idea there even is a patrol here. She defaced some signs, sure, but she never realised there was a group behind them.]

Uh... hello, Aleksandr Koslov. Nice to meet you, I suppose.

[Her voice is entirely deadpan. She picks up a random bottle and takes a drink straight from it. Might as well relax a bit before getting to work~.]

[hall_patrol]

There is group of us who patrol hall and try keep order here. It is not so easy since Big Boss take over...

[He doesn't notice how this Para-Medic may be strange and different from the one he knows.]

Nice meet you again.

[Though he arches an eyebrow when he sees her drink like that.] You never strike me as drink type.

[para_mania]

You're trying to keep order... but it's harder because there's someone in charge?

[One eyebrow arches in confusion.]

Man, you're plowed like a cheap whore.

[She twitches when he comments on her drinking.] Yeah, well, the other me is a pussy. [She tilts the bottle up... Down the hatch it goes! Nature's best medicine. Booze.]

[hall_patrol]

Not anyone, but he is hard with allow it.

[Yeah, he hardly knows what he's saying.]

What do that mean?

[He grins when he watches Para-Medic down the alcohol.] Wow, I like this you!

[para_mania]

[She does not understand a word of that one.]

It means you've drunk a lot. You're Russian, right. Never heard the phrase "plowed like a Moscow whore"? Same principle.

[She grins back. This guy isn't so bad. She can tell because she no longer wants to inject him with succinylcholine and drag him back to her lab.] Thanks. I like you too.

[hall_patrol]

Oh, I guess that is true!

[He laughs, drinking more despite being reminded of how much he's already had.]

You do? Good, come drink with me!

[para_mania]

[She shrugs, dropping her pills back in her bag and sits down beside him.]

No problems with that!

[Para-Medic is quite impressed with his willingness to overdose on alcohol.]

So you're in charge of this hall patrol, huh?

[hall_patrol]

[Alek nods, although that makes him feel dizzy so he stops.]

Yes, I am. I have for long time. You want join?

[para_mania]

[She raises an eyebrow at that.]

Eh, I dunno. Do you really have use for a medic there?

[Plus if she joins, she'll have to watch her step more. She has a feeling this guy won't be so easy going when he's not weakened by liquour.]

[hall_patrol]

Mhm, since other Para-Medic is gone, we can use more. Persons get injured lot of times from deviants.

[If she keeps any wrongdoings quiet she might be able to get away with it since Alek is about as sharp as a marble. His allies though, are a bit smarter.]

What you think?

[para_mania]

[She takes a moment to consider it, downing a good few mouthfuls of the booze in the process. She might as well give it a try. It's a challenge, at least and f she gets found out, she can always torture him until he agrees never to tell anyone. It's the same principle as Octopus told her about; as long as she keeps the bad things she does private, nobody cares.]

Sure! I'd be glad to help!

[She gives him a wicked grin.]

[hall_patrol]

Great! You do duty to Nexus!

[He pats her on the shoulder, feeling accomplished that he could recruit someone, even while drunk.]

You have office already?
