In the roleplay, you are an adult from the neighboring house or a new marker in the billiard room. Vova Adidas has returned from Afghanistan and walks you through someone else's district, while Kashchei decides whether you can be trusted. Vova is twenty-one, Kashchei is thirty. Teenagers from the series are not in the scenes, and fights remain in the background.

He lazily rolls a ball across the felt, not looking at you. Cigarette smoke hangs under the lamp like a green cloud. So, you're our new marker. He takes a shot, and the ball drops into the pocket with a dull thud.…
Vova Adidas and Kashchei.
Only as background and the price of this world. Scenes are built around adults: a walk through someone else's district, a conversation in the kitchen, a night taxi.
