Likewise.

It looked to me like the twins were packing up some clothes to ship home (maybe their summer clothes?). I don't think they were packing to leave. I think it's unlikely that they would leave so soon after moving to B4, but it's possible I guess. Someone new will probably move into B3 soon, I just don't think B4 being UM has anything to do with that.

I doubt it. There aren't any open rooms. I would guess that they're working on fixing the lagging/skipping that lots of people have been getting on some of the cameras.

It's a shame that the camera setup in her room is so terrible.

No, it got shut down because it was raided by the police. The last images from the apartment were literally multiple police officers walking through the rooms and escorting everyone outside. What the fuck does that have to do with RLC's categories?

Sonya was the first girl to have sex in this apartment.

Yeah, that seemed... less than real to me. Everything leading up to it was great, but if you're not comfortable actually following through then don't fake it. Disappointing, especially having seen what Renata is actually capable of before.

She's certainly been willing to have sex on cam before, but I kind of doubt it will happen if he's just visiting and has his own hotel room.

Glad we could have your expert opinion based on a couple of blurry thumbnails. If a girl masturbates underneath the covers, everyone freaks out and calls them fake for hiding from the cameras. In fact, I'm pretty sure this exact thing has happened with Regina before. If someone masturbates over the covers with a good view, they get called fake and a camgirl.

At some point, the things you think you are hearing have to correspond with what the people are actually doing in real life. If you think you are hearing a non-dancer talk about a ballet performance they are going to be in on July 16th and 17th, and it turns out they are actually on vacation in a different country on those days, it could serve as a sign that you didn't correctly understand what was being said. If you think that you are hearing people talk about rehearsals for a ballet production that doesn't seem to exist and those people don't actually ever seem to go to any rehearsals...

This is a remarkably unreliable way to try and understand what they're saying. Picking out individual words in a language you don't speak is incredibly difficult. Subtle pronunciation differences will be completely lost on you, and without understanding the context in which the word is used you won't be able to correct your mistake.

I'm pretty sure you and I get the same amount of insight into what's happening when we listen to them...

So, just making sure I'm up on the latest happenings in this apartment. Kami is still rehearsing for the same Russian Hamlet performance that she has been for the last 6 months? Even though that performance happened in mid-July when she was out of the country? And she's been debating getting her hair cut for 6 months as well? When exactly does she rehearse? As far as I can tell she mainly lies in bed all day and then sometimes goes out partying all night. And that's punctuated by frequent trips out of the country. And the world-famous, government-funded Bolshoi theater is now renting out their "place, people and equipment to a number of shows" because they need money? And Kami is rehearsing for a performance of Russian Hamlet at the Bolshoi even though there's no performance of Russian Hamlet scheduled at the Bolshoi? And even though the company that performs Russian Hamlet is based in St. Petersburg (which is also the location of the only scheduled performance of Russian Hamlet in the next 4 or 5 months)?

I don't know why that's weird. The first call was short and he was about to leave for dinner. I alternate between voice and video calling with my friends all the time depending on mood/location/etc. Whatever, I'm off to watch basketball. Have a good night!

Also, this is the end of the first conversation: "When?... Yeah, I want... Ok, I will wait here... have a good appetite." Sure sounds like she's saying she'll wait for him to call her back after he's done eating.

I don't really see what either of you are seeing. In the first conversation (which only lasts a few minutes) she tells him that she was with her friends who were couples and it was boring and she wished she was with him instead. Here's a rough transcription of the start of the 2nd conversation: Hey... I'm good, pretty good, and you? ... Yeah, I'm with this one, and then we come back... I miss you! I want... today was so boring... No, I can't... Today was so boring... because without you, first of all... second I realized I haven't friends... they are different, they are not like me... I think my friends maybe just [some word] and one more she is from Ukraine and she is living in Russia, I think two friends. And this friends not best of the best, just friends... no, it's ok and my best friend is [something] in Russia. Then she starts talking about her hat. That sounds like a continuation of the previous conversation to me. She doesn't rehash who she was with or who she visited. I'm certainly not going to say Renata being with two guys is impossible considering the events of a couple of nights ago, but unless there's a different part of the conversation that I'm missing, I'd still say it's the same guy in both conversations.

What makes you think the two conversations tonight were different guys? Seemed like the same guy to me (assuming you're talking about the same conversations that I heard, at least).

Pretty sure she's crying for the same reason she's been crying for the past few days (bf trouble), though being incredibly drunk is probably part of it.

So, my theory on the evening: This is the guy that Victoria spent the night with when she was gone overnight. She came back with a few pieces of lingerie, and this guy seemed to have a supply of things like that. And he definitely seemed more attached to her than to Renata. A few translations I've seen have mentioned that Renata has an open relationship with her boyfriend (she apparently tells him everything). So one or the other of them decided a threesome with Vicky's new guy was in order. But I think it might have gone a tiny bit farther than Vicky was comfortable with, hence the balcony conversation after she saw him and Renata together on the couch. It will be interesting to see what happens when they sober up.

Victoria keeps saying "jealous".

edit

And they're back.

Sounded like Renata's boyfriend on the phone to me. Sucks for us unless they decide to come back.

It's pretty clearly something outside the apartment. She started crying while looking at text messages. I'd say 90% that she's having trouble/broke up with her boyfriend.
