- duty || accepting -

. He thought of what he'd given up for Valorant. The cybernetic eye was nice, but he hated how he would catch his babushka staring at it.

. 'You look unwell, Sasha,' she would say the few times he visited. He would smile, and change the subject. Only a few times would she bicker with him, and even then, she seemed to understand in her own way. He missed her terribly, wished he could visit her more often.

. "Necessity can be the most unkind of leaders," he said, sitting back easily with arms crossed over his chest. "But, we follow, and many times we find something fulfilling."

“plots please?" _ zenyatta

- plots please! || accepting -

Zenyatta needs to get through a very dangerous area and Jack offers to accompany him along the road. This can either end in some violence or they have a very chill roadtrip.

Pasiphos invites Zenyatta to a formal event as both a conversation starter and just to entertain themselves, and just to see how Zenyatta acts in a snooty environment.

Sova happens on Zenyatta after he sustains some damage and helps get him to a safe place. While he's not a perfect mechanic, he's able to offer Zen some help with repairs.

. "Yes," he replied, owl drone jutting up from his bracer with a mechanical whirr. "She has been traveling this area, but I don't know it well. You're more familiar. It's why I've been letting you lead."

. With a flick of his wrist, the drone lifted off and flitted away, humming as it zipped across the opening and ducked into the building.

. "She appears to have made many friends," he said lightly as he looked through the drone's eyes into the room, his prosthetic taking in the scene of the woman and several armed guards. The drone backed out, unseen, and Sova returned it to his bracer before he pulled his gun from its holster. "We should deprive her of them."

plots please + sova ?

- plots please! || accepting -

After a mission goes awry and leaves them stranded on Omega Earth, Sova and Viper must make their way to the next closest portal. Basically Sova and Viper road trip that's long enough that they can't just talk about work anymore, with parts where they have to try to not give away that they're on the wrong side of the portal. Complete with civilian clothes and cover story so they don't attract attention on their stops for food and gas.

Viper is unfortunately in the kitchen for .5 seconds too long and gets dragged into making food with Sova.

Sasha and Sabine are at a festival with the rest of Valorant and get separated from the others, so they decide to enjoy themselves with games and festival snacks.

Basically any time where they're stuck being Alexander and Sabine and not Sova and Viper

@buabloomed said: It's casual. He's casual. So casual. See? If Niran wasn't so very casual he wouldn't be lounging on his couch like the subject in a Renaissance painting. So. Very. Casual.

With deft fingers, the naturalist fixes his stretched-out sweater to cover both of his shoulders. "So..." he drawls out the word, almond-shaped eyes following the archer's every move. Casually, of course. "What's your type? That is, if you have one." [@buabloomed for Sova]

. Few counted themselves amongst Sasha's friends. But, for now, Niran was at least a solid ally. He could fix the drone when it was damaged, and could occasionally fix the archer as well. For now, he had needed the latter- along with a place to lay low after a particularly tumultuous mission.

. As Niran started speaking, Sasha rose his brows to indicate he was listening, the small screwdriver in his hand still carefully working at one of the damaged plates on his weapon.

. "Mm?" He paused after a moment, processing the question. "My 'type'?" He finally looked up, expression somewhat confused. "Do you mean people? Ehh... I do not know if I have one. I like people. Why?"

@timewounded said: "You won't regret this, I promise." [ harbor to sova ]

- general || accepting -

. Sova's sitting on the edge of the protocols swimming pool, his expression very displeased. His nose wrinkled, legs dangling off the edge of the pool and kicking slowly in the water.

"I am not worried about regretting," he said, arms still crossed over his chest. "But it feels like a waste of time." How swimming had come up he didn't remember but he and several others had admitted to being unable to swim, and after a bit of conversation, he and 2 others had agreed to learn swimming from both Harbor and Sage. Regret may not be the word, but he was feeling less than pleased about being honest- for once.

"But I have already given my word that I would follow through with this."

@galaxythixf said: ( bear ) - Raze to Sova

- affection || accepting -

. Raze's energy was infectious, a light even on tense battlefields. It always seemed her energy was as bright as her paint.

. With the enemy's spike being collected to be taken back to headquarters and the Vulture on its way, Sova expected the hug when she ran at him full force. He braced for impact, only moved back a few inches and chuckling as her arms encircled him. His own returned the gesture, warmth wrapping around her shoulders briefly.

. "Uninjured?" He asked, a quick glance over her before he finally stepped back, hands resting on her shoulders. "You were fantastic, an explosion of colors!"

@timewounded said: "Why are you looking at me like that?" [ cypher to sova ]

- amnesia || accepting -

. He'd been staring. Most of them had since Cypher had awoken with no memory. There was an unspoken tension about the man's identity- so far, no one had seen what was under the mask. Sova knew he wasn't the only one thinking about it.

But despite his qualms with Cypher and his... ways, Sova respected him; at least, enough to keep both himself and others from prying under the mask.

But the thought still remained.

"It is nothing," he finally said, tearing his eyes away. What did he remember of anyone? of Sova? "Sage said to try to do something familiar. Do you remember chess?" He couldn't think of anything else, didn't really want to admit that he was worried.

[dimensionalspades]

@galaxythixf said: "I can't have forgotten." - KJ to Sova

- amnesia || accepting -

. Sasha's brows lifted to a point, lips drawn in a thin line as he watched her try to remember her lab. He wouldn't lie, it'd been difficult watching her try to navigate a thousand different emotions. They tried smaller things at first, but nothing had jogged her memory. Healing hadn't seemed to aid, they had tried meditation (there was a glimmer of Klara in the way she seemed so disinterested in sitting still).

He had thought that her lab would evoke memories, but he wondered if it hadn't upset her further. Did she recognize her handiwork, or was it all just a blank?

"I'm sure it is difficult." He wasn't sure how to navigate the painful drive he felt to try to make it better in any way. But all he could offer was space or companionship whenever she needed either. "If you would like to take a break, we could return to Sage. Or perhaps a walk outside?"

@galaxythixf said: "Why are you looking at me like that?" - Fade to Sova

- amnesia || accepting -

. The world was little more than a bright light and muffled sounds. Someone was next to him, speaking. Eyes opened and closed slowly, brows furrowing until his head ached and he pressed a hand to his temple. Holding it before his face, he saw a blurry swatch of red.

Sova's head turned listlessly from side to side, between Fade and the environment, blinking mechanically to attempt to clear his vision. Moving flared pain up his side, wincing as he slowly picked himself up unsteadily to sit lopsided. Disorientation bloomed, nausea rolling through him like a storm. He stared at her for a long moment, mechanical eye whirring and fixating on Fade's face.

"Что случилось?" He paused, expression pinched. "Seems familiar..?" His voice was thick, as though he was chewing on each word.

- amnesia || accepting -

. Lingying had told everyone to take things slow with Sabine. Her memory was spotty at best, holes punched into the majority of the last few years.

. "I am sorry," he finally said, trying to articulate what he wanted to say. She had spent most of the last few days alone, But Sasha felt... wrong not trying to talk to her. He'd dislike if he spent too much time alone with no memory of where he was.

. Nothing could be said about Valorant for now; agents, missions, any of it. If her memory was truly gone, she may be removed from the Protocol. He disliked the thought.

. "It is hard to think of what to talk about, I am sure this is disorienting. I wanted to provide company without putting any expectations on you about what you remember." There was something of a sympathetic lopsided smile on his lips. "If you would like, we can go outside?"

@buabloomed said: "You're not going to recover unless you get some sleep!" [@buabloomed to either Soldier or Sova, whoever you're feeling at the moment]

- general || accepting -

. His hand trembled again when he drew his arrow back again, and he grit his teeth as he heard the admonishment again. Niran had told him that a dozen times since his injury, that Biolight didn't work how Sasha would have liked. But he had persisted. Though, he finally let the bow go slack, turning his head to Niran.

. The shot through his shoulder was physically healed, no more bullet hole, but the nerves and joints struggled to recover.

. "Sleep will not be able to recover imperfections in my aim," he said, lips drawn thin in frustration. He rolled his shoulder a few times, feeling the strain. "Only practice will."

[dimensionalspades]

@galaxythixf said: "Please, take care of yourself." - Brimstone to Sova

- general || accepting -

. The duffel bag was full of backup weapons, a few rations just in case, backup clothes, and ammunition. He'd been rechecking it when Brimstone entered, their brief conversation relating to the mission. A week scouting around the Omega side of the portal, then returning back to Alpha with the myriad of readings he was going to be collecting.

. He was interested in recording the differences, but the amount of danger presented was hardly something to scoff at. If he was caught, he'd be more than too far for Sage to bring back. But, they'd have to find him, then catch him, and just one of those alone would truly be the feat of a lifetime.

. "My thanks, Brimstone. I will be successful. We can have drinks when I return."

[dimensionalspades]

Hi Sova!! Does your drone have a name? :)

...

"It is 'drone'. No need for a name."
