spacebattlesWHO • Illya Kuryakin (razh) & napoleon solo (selective)
WHERE • deck 2, corridor
WHEN • arrival
WHAT • two spies, one ship, endless possibilities.
WARNINGS • n/a currently - may update!
[ when illya finally comes to terms with where he is, and the lack of information he has to combat it, he decides that his only course of action is to take stock and familiarize. he needs to know where he is, what this new location is capable of, and what he needs to expect when he moves around in order to better understand how - in any capacity at all - he will possibly get out of here. so when he does finally come to,
he starts moving. he starts taking stock. he starts figuring out where he is and why.
it leads him out into the hallway. it leads him around the corner. he is unarmed and somehow, unbeknownst to him, empty-handed. he won't deal with this for log - there are enough items around that he could use to his advantage, but for now? for now he will make do with his hands. and his training.
which are both, nearly, enacted when he turns the corner to find someone else rounding it. someone else he hadn't been expecting, and who he nearly offed in that single moment in a spur of near-shock. but it is his instincts that hold him back, and his instincts that are the reason he recognizes the man seconds after he rounds the corner, stopping right in his tracks. ]
Cowboy? [ it can't possibly be true. ]

Date: 2017-06-04 03:34 pm (UTC)this place looks like it could use a little flash and grandeur, but it may be even beyond solo to provide it. (not that he'll admit as much. not that he'll admit that he's at a loss, that he's worried, that he hates not knowing.)
he offers a nod a moment later in acknowledgement of a point well-made: ] And find a place to leave posthaste.
no subject
Date: 2017-06-13 09:02 pm (UTC)[ his jaw tightens, unsure of what exactly is going on. if they were taken for information, it seems ineffective to leave them with this much freedom to move. seems like it's wasting time, leaving them too much time to think.
the fact that illya doesn't quite understand it is what bothers him the most. ]
We had to come through some way to get here. It may be our best way out as well.
no subject
Date: 2017-06-14 07:32 pm (UTC)Do you think we should split up?
[ somehow, solo finds himself reluctant to. ]
no subject
Date: 2017-06-19 01:35 pm (UTC)[ it's in response to opening doors. response to the idea that they should just start off in either direction and try and see what's there. illya does not like being forced to begin this without any kind of equipment, without any kind of knowledge. it feels too much like a test, back home in russia, before he even got to kgb status.
his jaw tightens for a moment, then loosens again. ]
No. [ even illya is slightly surprised by how adamant he is. he shakes his head a moment later, as if to break away the tension in his own head. ] We do not know what we are up against, or if there is any benefit to splitting up. Since we have no trackers, and no comms, we should stick together for now.
no subject
Date: 2017-06-20 07:08 pm (UTC)illya's response to his suggestion that they split up is immediate, and solo decides not to investigate the relief he feels at the vehemence behind that no too closely. illya is the only familiar thing in this environment to him, surely it's only natural that he'd rather not lose track of him immediately. it's only sensible, too. ]
I agree. [ he gestures vaguely into one direction, chosen arbitrarily. ] Shall we?
no subject
Date: 2017-07-18 04:20 pm (UTC)[ it's not a pout, but illya's lips are pressed into a thin line. he needs his gear back, his materials, his weapons. he's not useless without them, far from it, but knowing that someone in this place has them makes him feel naked.
solo agrees that they should stay together, and illya specifically ignores his own sense of relief. they work well together. it makes the most sense that if they are to figure their ways out of this abduction, together would be the most efficient.
illya looks down the hall that solo motions towards, taking a moment to try and understand why this way before realizing that it's solo, and that it probably makes no sense. so he sighs, catching solo's eyes for a moment before continuing down in the motioned direction - on guard with each step. ]
no subject
Date: 2017-07-24 05:04 pm (UTC)[ not that solo has very much gear to find, or at least not gear that he considers indispensable. he has his gun, at least, with the silencer, carrying both in a shoulder holster that is hidden by clever tailoring of his suit jacket.
illya is quite right: solo picked the direction at random. why not this way? ] If either of our things were taken with us, that is.
[ solo doesn't know what to make of this entire situation, and that has him more on edge than he'd like to admit. having illya at his back (or front) eases some of the tension, strangely enough. ]
no subject
Date: 2017-07-28 03:44 pm (UTC)illya wasn't even allowed his gun - though that isn't his main concern. he is lethal enough with just his hands, and with how enclosed they are in whatever building is being used to hold them, he'd rather not deal with the ricochet. ]
You think they'd take us and leave our gear back in our rooms? [ illya hadn't thought of that - his gear is expensive, why wouldn't they want to steal it? illya will go first, if solo doesn't try and step in front of him as they walk. ] Seems inefficient.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-02 01:24 pm (UTC)I'm not sure what to think, honestly. [ it's an admission, because it is honest. ] Why would they take us and not tie us up or interrogate us? None of this makes sense, exactly.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-04 03:44 pm (UTC)he is quiet for a bit as they walk, trying to think it over. solo speaks aloud the same things he's thinking, and it gives him an odd sense of....what. comfort? that solo is as lost as he is? ]
It could be a game, or a test of some kind. [ he thinks back to his training, the kinds of things they'd do to make sure he was smart, quick on his feet, and creative. his frown grows a bit. ]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-04 06:16 pm (UTC)[ he could believe it of the cia or the kgb, easily. he'd like to think that he's a better judge of character than to get so wrong an impression of waverly, but — he's been wrong about the man before, considering him a mark, hasn't he? ]
What do you suggest?
no subject
Date: 2017-08-07 05:44 pm (UTC)[ he would not put it past the kgb at all. and from what he knows of the cia? but aside from that, they have enemies now. enemies of either side, who could be after them both.
illya doesn't really like that he doesn't know, but figures there's no point in letting that stop them from moving forward. ]
We need to find some indication of why we're here. And who put us here. With that, we'll have a much better chance of finding a way out.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 01:56 pm (UTC)[ solo doesn't put it past the cia, either, though he imagines he'd find someone gloating soon enough if it really were the cia behind this.
it's just. odd. it's really odd and solo doesn't like that he doesn't know the angles, can't read this game. ] Agreed. Let's keep going.
[ they're at a fork between two corridors. solo heads to the right after a moment, after a glance at illya. ]
