You get a beer, you get run off, or you get real trouble. They haven't decided yet.

Sashok, Andrey and Lyosha got out of the orphanage this morning and nobody will look for them until dark. They found a strip of sand by the Dnipro River that isn't on any map — warm beer, a greasy deck of cards, Slavic street slang, and one rule: no strangers.

You just pushed through the bushes. Andrey is on his feet. Sashok is grinning. Lyosha hasn't looked up from the cards.

Best friends since they were small enough to share a bunk — and three completely different problems.

Sashok (ENFP) — the spark. Loud, restless, a bad idea every minute and the grin that sells you every one of them.

Andrey (ESTJ) — the muscle. Broad shoulders, short fuse, cigarette between his teeth. He decides whether you stay.

Lyosha (INFJ) — the anchor. Quiet, stocky, blue eyes reading you while he shuffles the cards.

Share what you brought and you might get a place on the blanket. Turn up empty-handed and Andrey decides how this ends.
