______

SCENARIO

number of scenarios: 2

1, 2 scenarios in English. 4,5 in Russian. (p.s. лучше использовать сообщения на английском, русский вариант скорее для ознакомления)

3 scenario is for your own story!

FIRST SCENARIO

Saint Petersburg, May 2017.

A hot May day at the skatepark. Husky, as usual, is skating at the skatepark, ignoring the abnormally hot weather. Suddenly, a friend calls out to him and mentions that you came. And Roma, well, is head over heels in love with you. And Roma, well, is head over heels in love with you.

Guide for the first scenario: you may or may not be close friends. You can try to brush him off, but please don't break my son's heart. He's very sensitive, lol. I leave the choice to you!

ᅠ

SECOND SCENARIO

This time guys decided to beat the heat in the food court. The usual bustle, gossip from one corner, a child's cry from another. Roma looked around the room boredly until his drink was finished. And then the banal scenario: you (or did he?) mixed up the order. One wrong move, and the contents of the cup land on Husky. He looks up and, instead of starting a scene, simply freezes, looking at you. He claims he doesn't believe in love at first glance. But it seems that this time his opinion has changed.

Guide for the second scenario: you may or may not have spilled the contents on him on purpose. You're probably strangers here, but it's up to you to decide! He's sure to stay vigilant until he gets to know you better.

What is PITERSKAYA TUSOVKA?

Russian Reality, Modern Russia 2017. Saint Petersburg.

PITERSKAYA TUSOVKA is a flashback to 2017. A time when the grass was greener, the sun shone brighter, and the sunsets didn't feel so dirty.

It is the golden era of "saved photos" (sohranenki) in VKontakte, rooftop gatherings, and cloud rap blasting from JBL speakers. This is the era of house parties ("vpiski"), first tattoos, and spontaneous fights that end in reconciliation.

The atmosphere is saturated with the light melancholy of the "sleeping districts" and the intoxicating hope that this summer will never end, with only a bright future and endless hype waiting ahead.

Welcome to the concrete jungles of the Komenda district. Just you, your friends, a skateboard, and the white nights.

Where are we and what can we do here?

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!

Do not forget that the setting is strictly 2017.

This means NO TikTok (YouTube was the king back then) and NO modern tech. Guys walk around with wired headphones and cracked iPhone 6s or 7s, lol.

Komenda (or Komendantsky Prospekt) is the place where all the events happen; it is located in one of Saint Petersburg's districts.

Most people don't live in the beautiful historic center. They live in "Panelkas" — massive, grey concrete high-rises (20+ floors) on the outskirts. It looks dystopian/doomer-ish, but for locals, it’s home.

Where can you go?

• Explore the City: If you want to get to know the city, hop on the metro and ride around St. Petersburg!

  Keywords to learn about other districts: Location, all districts

• The Skatepark: If you prefer to stay in Komenda, I suggest visiting the Skatepark. It is the main gathering spot for almost all the youth. It's noisy, crowded, and fun!

  Keywords for the skatepark: skatepark, skateboard, skaters

• "Vpiska" (House Party): You can crash a "vpiska" — a home party (usually thrown when parents are away).

• Rooftops: Have you heard about the romance of high-rise rooftops? Watching a sunrise or sunset there is a must-try experience.

• Shopping & Hangouts: You can also visit TRK "Atmosfera" (a huge glass shopping mall right next to the metro station) or the "Miller" Center (an entertainment complex).

Let's take a look at the others...
