[ Entering Violet City is Old Snake. He's coming in via Route 36, looking tired and a little confused, but well enough. In his arms is a Snubbull wearing a bow on one of its ears. Looking around, the old soldier takes a moment to crouch down and take out his Pokegear, making a quick note. ]

Otacon, Heather, I'm in Violet now. Made it here safe and sound... But there's a weird Pokemon on Route 36. Looks like it really hates water, must not actually be a tree... I tried to catch it, but it got away. I caught a few more Pokemon on the way over here anyway, so that's good I guess.


[pause.]


I guess I should meet up with Raiden and Vulcan Raven. [Stands up slowly.]

Shnub.

Hnn? Shnubble. [Looks like Juliette the Snubbull is feeling sad again, so Snake kneels down again and places her on his knee, giving her head some gentle strokes.]

...Shnuuubbllleeee... [Seemed she liked that, but as soon as Snake stopped, she grabs his hand. 8| WHAT ARE YOU DOING DON'T STOP.] Shnububle!

... Right...

[True to form, Raven's out near the Pokecenter, making and selling Hot Chocolate.]

[Atka's out of her ball, as usual, but Itzy and Smrgol have decided it's too darned chilly to bother.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Wanders over to Raven, letting Juliette sit near Atka.]

Raven.

[uses-metaphors.livejournal.com]

[He nods his greeting and hands Snake a cup of cocoa.]

We meet again under unusual circumstances, Snake.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Looks down at the cup, then to Raven... before hesitantly reaching out to take it.]

As long as you're not trying to kill me, I'm all right with that.

The battles between warriors have different rules in this place. Our fight has already been won.

[The large man tends to the fire for a moment, mentally taking in how Snake had - and hadn't - changed.]

Johto is a strange place, but I believe I will enjoy my time here.

Yeah, Liquid and I saw it too. I don't know what it could be, but if it hates water...a Ground-type, maybe? It does look like a tree, that'd almost make sense...

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I thought tree's liked water...

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, but Ground-types are weak to it if I'm remembering right.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Is it a form of camouflage?

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I suppose it could be, yeah.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, I heard about that tree. There've been some really funny videos of people trying to get past it posted to the network. _{[... Well, funny if you've got a certain cruel sense of humor, anyway. But then, who doesn't like slapstick.]}

How'd you make it past?

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Shows off the Squirt Bottle he got from Whitney.]

With this. Sprayed it with water and it attacked me, but ran off before I could catch it.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Huh... I wonder if I could get past it with Godzilla.

_{[He'd learned Water Gun awhile ago. And delighted in his newfound ability to make his team-mates (and Trainer) do the OH GOD IT'S COLD AUGH NOW I'M SOAKED DAMMIT dance on a whim by abusing his power.]}

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

You mean your water lizard thing? I don't know, maybe.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Maybe I'll give that a try when I go up there.

[He's finally been persuaded to come outside the Pokemon Center, hanging around outside with Tsarevna on his head.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Looks over, noting the man standing there. He turns his head a bit.] Hn?

[callmeadam.livejournal.com]

[The Pidgey puffs her chest out, watching the old man from her post.]

Hey.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [Recalls a man like this. Why was he so familiar?]

[callmeadam.livejournal.com]

[He gives the old man his signature hand gesture.]

Call me Ocelot.

[Big Boss stops when he's a couple yards away, not speaking yet, just watching cautiously.]

SHUT UP /sob

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[ Stands up again, letting Juliette walk beside him. He tilts his head a bit, noting the man a few feet away. This wasn't an NPC, Snake knew that much... Those clothes, that eyepatch, that bandanna...

That face. ]

Big Boss...

:B

[sneaking-sin.livejournal.com]

[He frowns at the name, but doesn't correct him.]

You're the other clone.

[Master of the obvious.]

;~;

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[ Tenses up somewhat, but other than that, he doesn't move from where he is. ]

I have a name.

[sneaking-sin.livejournal.com]

Do you have a name that isn't mine?
