Hello, I'm Niko Bellic. And I'm in charge of the Cargo Bay...

Except, I do not think I want to be. I have been working there for eleven months. [Back when he wanted to avoid fighting, when he wanted to attempt his route of being peaceful and avoid conflict, it had been helpful. Even more so when he wanted to avoid his initial job in the then-existent bar; yes, he sometimes drinks, but he couldn't tolerate the constant presence of habitual drunkards. Alcoholism never left good impressions with him. Being given the Cargo Bay position had been great. He had quiet time, could drive loaders, could do mindless work. But now? Not so much...] If I go, though, there will be very few other workers to handle everything. [And he's not such a prick that he'd leave them to suffer the work alone.] Would anyone be willing to go in there? Because I would like to do something else now.

Also after this whole ship rearranging thing, it has been a lot of work, I have done a lot of moving, and I would kind of like to play some darts or something. [This grumpy Serb just sounds tired as hell today.] Luckily a game that doesn't require any power to play.

Let me know, ah?

I'm down, man. I don't think I'll have time to work in the cargo bay as well as the radio, but I can make sure to broadcast the need frequently until we get enough volunteers!

[he appreciates that it'll probably be hard to find replacements... all he can do is hope for the best for this guy.]

[vengeance_driven]

Thanks, man. Is good to know.

It's not that bad a place, really. It's just that my head is somewhere else now and is... not really what I need. If that makes sense. I don't know. Even when I talk in my native language I am not sure of what I'm saying.

[wallride]

The place doesn't have to be bad for your feelings to be legit. Everyone needs some time off now and again and it sounds like you're well overdue for yours, man.

Meet you there?

[vengeance_driven]

Yeah, it's still in the rec room.

I'll be there.

[Man he misses beer. Beer was easy. He didn't think he'd miss that bar so much. Or the cafe.]

[voice]

[ryuuzaki]

How are you at table tennis?

[vengeance_driven]

Never tried it, which means I could be very good or very bad.

[ryuuzaki]

Are your reflexes good?

[He thinks they probably are.]

[vengeance_driven]

My reflexes are above average.

[Way above average now, thanks to a trip to Med Bay. But he's not sure what exactly it did or to the extent.]

But I am also impatient and not good with making bouncings work.

[redshitlord]

Ooo, sounds good man.

You sure you don't wanna keep slinging packages around though?

[vengeance_driven]

I don't. Neither does Tailgate, apparently. He hardly ever shows up for work.

[Yup, Niko's gonna tell on him.]

[redshitlord]

... Dude.

That's just rude. You should yell at him.

[vengeance_driven]

I yell at so many people over the Cargo Bay, I genuinely think a job fighting or flying will be better for my temper.

[alterplex]

Didn't know there was a way to change jobs.

[ Because this is what he's choosing to focus on, good work, Venom Snake. ]

What's the procedure like?

[vengeance_driven]

A lot of moving things. Organizing. Putting stuff so that it doesn't break. People get to use loading equipment.

But sometimes there are super human fights or people set it on fire or people tranquilize guys [which it was actually Big Boss that tranqed Bruce Banner but Niko never found that out]. Sometimes invasions.

So it uh... I guess it's pretty good for people that like that sort of thing every once in a while.

[alterplex]

And you got bored of all that, huh.

[ Despite sounding like Niko's had front-row tickets to all these fiascos?? To be fair, Venom can appreciate that that might not have been what the guy signed up for. ]

[vengeance_driven]

I didn't really get to see any of it, just clean up after it.

I take it that you don't remember me? Sometimes people do when they come and go, sometimes they don't. You're Ahab, am I right?

I was roommates with other you.

[takeitslow]

What else are you thinking about doing, if not the cargo bay?

Re: video;

[vengeance_driven]

Thinking of something else where I could be a driver or a pilot. Or as close to a soldier as I can get.

Re: video;

[takeitslow]

Piloting one of the little ships? After last month, more pilots for the rescue crafts look like they'd be handy. [Because, who knew when something like that would happen again?]

Solider? Like maybe getting into security around here?

[straightouttacarbonite]

I guess darts are easier in the bad light...

Re: voice

[vengeance_driven]

It's still bright enough to see. And if it turns out it's difficult to tell numbers right away whatever. Is not like my cousin didn't cheat half the time.

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

That's not cheating, that's just lying.

I'll play you. The card table isn't working right, anyway.

[thumbsdown]

Sure, I'd be up for a game. Never played it myself, but I get what you have to do.

[Niko sounds like he needs a break, and Boone knows he needs one too after what recently went down.]

[vengeance_driven]

Never played darts, ah? You got good aim so you definitely should

I'll be in the lounge.

and action

[thumbsdown]

I'll head over.

[As usual he cuts the call without saying goodbye, and he shows up at the lounge not long after. When he sees Niko, he gives him a nod and goes over to him.]

Hey.
