Helter Skelter

Who: Sasha, Raikov, Vinnie, Volgin and Marie
What: Talking. Okay no, we lied. Talking leads to much more terrible things.
Where: Outside, just on the school gate's outskirts
When:  December 12th
Warnings: MARIE'S DIRTY MOUTH. Okay, more like Volgin, Raikov and Vinnie's haha.

Christmas! The holiday flowed like a bowl of phall and spicy bbq wings in Sasha's mouth. Pure, delightful eating bliss. She sat on one of the metallic benches, looking over at the city lights, sometimes letting out a small burst of flame and laughing at the way it danced in the cold heat before fizzling out.  She wore the new school outfit, covered by a fireproof winter coat and hat that had been pierced to allow her horns to peek thought.

But ahh! Christmas! Out of all the celebrations Sasha enjoyed during the year, this was her favorite. Everyone standing around in a warm fire, drinking hot chocolate (or in her case cacao and spices mixed together). Where Santa, his eight Stantlers and his army of Delibirds would give out presents to all the good little boys and girls and their Pokemons (or so it was told) when they slept.

She was waiting for Vinnie and Marie to show up; they had agreed to go shopping and she was a full ten minutes early, a little too excited for her own good. They'd probably both take more time anyway, not being particularly big fans of the winter weather in general. It was such a shame too! Sasha loved snow. It reminded her of all those times in the caverns together. Waking up to undo the presents (had Red bought them? Was it really Santa? IT WAS A MYSTERY). She was so preoccupied with replaying the memories in her mind that she didn't notice the man slowly walking close by her.

The man walking by was currently giving himself lung cancer. Nothing like a cigarette in the cold weather~

Christmas wasn't special to Raikov. His country censored it due to its religious bases. Russia's winter holiday was New Years: A day filled with cheer, good food, Father Frost, and gift gettinggiving. Now that's what he was looking forward to, especially now that he was reunited with Yevgeny. The thought almost made him cry at times. Yevgeny shouldn't be alive... but thanks to this crazy place, he was, and they were together as if September of 1964 never happened.

His thoughts wandered to presents as he walked by Sasha and unfortunately achknowledged her presense as he glanced at her.

Great. He jut had to make eye contact, didn't he?

Raikov stopped and tapped the ashes from his cigarette. "No. Just out for a stroll. I don't celebrate Christmas."

"I do nothing, just as I've done my entire life," he said in a huff. "Not everyone celebrates the same things, you know."

"I never said my life was bad. I simply meant your Christmas is just another normal day for me."

Raikov took a moment to respond, taking a long drag and letting the smoke seep out of his mouth as he answered, "I celebrate the New Year."

The name Arceus rang a bell but he didn't push the subject. "I assume you're thinking of January 1st though, yes?"

Oh. ... A pokemon as a god? Wait'll Yevgeny heard that.

"Mn. Our New Years is on January 7th."

"On the standard calendar, yes, but back in the motherland, it still falls on the first for us.

"And you are correct. My world has no Pokemon either."

Charizard. Charizard. There was more than one of them.

Raikov narrowed his eyes and tossed his cigarette to the ground, "Don't tell me you're related to that retard Green owns."

1/2

"Thank God," he gave a sigh of relief. "I hate that piece of sh..." He stopped himself. Sasha must be a student then? Better censor his language.

"... I'm Raikov, the art teacher."

"He trashed my apartment and attempted to beat up my lover," Raikov snarled.

"Green is also a jerk who doesn't care what his pokemon do," he snorted. "I tried reasoning with him but he gave the excuse of I can't watch his every move. Then order him not to attack people!"

Oh yes, the Russian was quite riled up... but began to calm down as he continued...

"As for trainers and gym leaders, I honestly haven't seen many. Giovanni's the only one I interact with on a regular basis... and his pokemon are very well behaved."

Just as animals should be.
