[ Snake can't help but look at the egg he's found among his things. It wasn't his first time dealing with an egg... After all, both Sunny and Vulcan came from them.

Speaking of Vulcan, the water Pokemon didn't seem to be enjoying Winter too much... So Snake had gratefully placed the Slowpoke inside his Pokemon Inbox. But that wasn't all that was new;

Snake had also caught a Snover... and named it Moses. It seemed funny at the time, anyway. For him, it was nothing religious that gave him the idea, but he didn't feel like explaining his humor anyway.

For now, however, Old Snake is in the Goldenrod Pokemon Center, sitting by one of the heaters and smoothing his glove-less hands over the egg. ]

Hnn... Eggs and I must have a history... This is my payment for never eating Sunny's, I bet.

[ He gives a bit of a smirk before pulling out his Pokegear. ]

Otacon, I've got a new egg.

Yeah, but you always get me something.

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because it's Christmas and that's what I wanted to do. There's nothing I wanted in return.

Honestly, just making my friends happy is enough for me.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

............ [LOOKING AT YOU SUSPICIOUSLY.]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I mean it.

[SMILE~]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

What did you get Liquid? [Looking at the Togetic plushie.]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

[Shrug.]

Just a coat. He still won't wear a shirt, and he seemed the type to want something useful.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I guess. [well as long as it was just a coat.]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

...Something wrong?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.]

Not really. Did he get you anything?

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I think it slipped his mind, actually. Not that I can really blame him with all the chaos that's been going on.

...besides, he's Liquid. I doubt he even realized it was a holiday until I brought it up.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [oh god suddenly remembers.]

So, what happened with Big Boss? [HE'S BEEN BUSY. IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS ON HIATUS OR ANYTHING.]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

[NAAAAAAH.]

It's okay. Nobody got killed, promise.

...but how Liquid keeps surviving things that would kill anyone else continues to amaze me, honesty.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... It got bad? [ Tilts his head a bit. ]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

Well...you know Sprout Tower, right?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Mhm. I did some exercises outside of it back when I was in Violet. That's when I first met Heather face to face. [Nods.]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

...you know how Liquid can't seem to stay off really high places?

[1+1 equalllllsss....?]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

............................ [facepalm.]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

All he got was a broken arm, which is the part where I get confused. I know he's tough, but...wow.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

When we stole his body from the government back in 2007, I thought for sure he'd wake up suddenly. Guess I just didn't expect him to stay down forever. [Shakes his head.]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I was half thinking the same thing. After all that...FOXDIE almost seemed too easy.

Took me forever to convince him to actually get it checked out, too. All he did was splint it and insist it was fine.

[A pause--Otacon smiled and lowered his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.]

So I made sure they gave him a bright pink cast, for all the trouble he gave me.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

.... [ Well, that earns a bit of a smile. ] Good choice.

What about Big Boss?

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I...was kind of worried about Liquid, so I lost track. Pretty sure he was fine, more or less.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Where is he? Did he come to Goldenrod or stay in Violet?

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure he stayed in Violet.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

All right. [Nods.] Is Liquid okay with not getting to kill him?
