[Snake's sitting in a small park inside Goldenrod, which wasn't much of a park. It was a few benches and a lot of snow, any main attractions covered by the snow, or only appearing in the spring and summer. He's actually not sitting on the bench, surprisingly, but rather he's in the snow and leaning his back against his Torkoal, Marlboro. The Pokemon is quite large now, he's surprised how quickly it grew within the last week, but he wasn't complaining... After all, Marlboro was pretty much a walking furnace.

Felt good, man. At the same time, Snake's enjoying a smoke, cigarette smoke mixing with the smoke coming from Marlboro's shell and nose before dissipating in the crisp winter air.]

Hnn.

[The video feed clicks on, Snake setting it in the snow nearby and relaxing again.]

My Dex said Marlboro eats coal. I'll need to find a good supply, but I'm not looking forward to buying a lot of the crap and hauling it around. I'll need some suggestions.

[ooc: PRETEND THAT SNAKE IS DRESSED IN WINTER WEAR he's not actually wearing a t-shirt. despite the snow being melted around them, Marlboro can't cure the need for winter jackets.]

... Just a kid, huh...

It's frustrating, I imagine, to know what he becomes.

So. Fucking. Much.

I can't stop it, just try to learn whatever I can so I can stop it back home. It's just... frustrating.

... Yeah... I understand that. [The situation with Liquid was a bit different, since he wasn't entirely innocent, but... It was difficult.]

It doesn't help he doesn't act like a Pirate King... should. You know?

[Rubs his chin thinking hard.] Idiot saved my life while I was trying to arrest him. Even though I swore to still catch him. [Shrugs and rolls his shoulders.] Moot point I guess.

That kind of guy, huh...

Maybe his idea of being a Pirate's different than most.

It is. [Grunts.]

He doesn't directly kill anyone, which I can respect. Still a pirate though.

Hnn... Just the robbery then?

Tch. He declared war on the world government, punched a tenryuubito -- the very act of which is enough to call a buster call, broke into the pirate prison and broke out hundreds of world class prisoners, including a man he helped put there himself.

He's not innocent.

But you can't do a thing because he hasn't done those things yet... Right?

Well. Here, at least.

He's just a little kid here.

Hnn... [Nods.]

Tch. Maybe I really am over thinking it. [Just leans back and puffs on his cigars.]

Hhn... Could be. [Despite his own conflict with Liquid, he's not sure if he's ready to share that information too openly...] I guess if he gives you a reason to dislike him, then, that'll be your chance. But if he's a little kid, then it's really what your morals tell you against what your job tells you.

[Snorts.]

Like I've ever given a damn what my bosses say. [Lights up a fresh pair of cigars, forgetting he can use his torkoal now.] It's not their place to tell me what to do, much less what to think. [Slight snarl.] And even if they were here I'd tell them not to tell me what to do.

Not their tool... huh. [Snake respects that; really respects that line of thinking.]

I'll follow my own justice. They can either learn from it or falter on their own, not my problem.

[It's a wonder he hasn't gotten discharged really, but he has a lot of friends watching his back.]

Sounds good to me.

Heh, sounds like a good approval.
