[ Video ; Action ]

[ Snake's in Goldenrod, since he arrived about last week and decided to hang around. He wanted to go to Ecruteak, but he figured he could at least relax for a while before making the trip to Violet again.

Sitting on a bench near a hot dog stand, Snake takes out his PokeGear. ]


[PRIVATE CALL TO OTACON]

Otacon, what can you tell me about Team Rocket?

[/]

[ Switching frequencies, he decides to make an update for the rest of his friends. ]

This is Snake. I'm in Goldenrod, I'm going to Violet either tomorrow or the day after... I haven't really decided yet. At any rate... Heather, are you interested in going to Ecruteak..?

And Claire, where are you now?

[Marlboro slowly moves his head out of his shell somewhat to tilt his head a bit at what she's saying.]

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay [She leans in to whisper] I'm not very brave when I'm away from home either. Being in a different place is more scary than home...Even if home is a dark spooky cave.

[Nope, not talking from experience at all.]

[ Marlboro tilts his head again, then looks at Snake. ]


... Marlboro's never lived in a cave himself... That's just what the Pokedex said about his species. He's been with me ever since he hatched.

Sn-Snake! It's not polite to listen in on people's conversations you know! [AKA stop listening to mun'sher fail] If you wanted to talk to me you could have just said so~ [She spins around on her heels and rests her fingertips on the edge of the bench seat] So what do you want to talk about?

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-20 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
... Right.

[Shrugs.] Well... How are you, I guess?

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-20 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hesitates going back to her lying. But she does anyway.] I'm good! It's been pretty nice out lately so I even went to the National Park.

What about you, Snake? [She inspects him. He LOOKS fine but...]You haven't...fallen or your Pokemon haven't gotten into lots of troubl, right?

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-21 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
.... I've been fine... Though... I just heard about the attack on the Radio Tower.

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-21 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Did you see what happened? I...I wasn't really paying attention[AKA she was hiding in her room until she could figure out what was happening] Everyone's okay, right?

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Nno, I wasn't in Goldenrod at the time... I didn't even have my Gear on.

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
At least that means you were safe. It was scary! Suddenly all the radio stations changed and it was weird not hearing the music! I thought for sure something horrible would happen...

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
... Hnn... [Something horrible DID happen... To Otacon anyway.]

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-23 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I guess we just got lucky then, huh? [Well Otacon is Otacon.]

hello eaten notif

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if luck had anything to do with it.

Re: hello ebi I want to play a game /Jigsaw XD

You mean...It was fate? You don't look like the type to believe in that sort of thing, Snake.

FFF

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
... That's not what I was thinking.

Re: >:)

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Then...What were you thinking? That we had a lot of...super cool skills to dodge any danger?

Re: >:)

[She pouts-You're no fun, Snake! :C-and hops back up onto the bench, pulling her knees into her chest] I guess this place isn't as safe as I thought...But it's still safer than back home! Is your home like here, Snake? Or do you have to fight a lot too?

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
... War has consumed the world. The economy thrives on war. Fighting's... all I've ever really known.

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[SUDDEN HUG] It's okay, Snake. You're here now and there's no fighting if you don't want! Back home...There was a big war there, too. It's no good, huh?

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Grunts a bit-- you're lucky he's a little more mindful of who he CQCs.]

... I guess.

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[:'D Y-Yeah.]

It hurts people and...How do you ever know if you're on the right side? [She needs hugs so she'll just continue holding on for a little bit longer] Why do people fight for something when it's just going to hurt someone else? It's not fair!

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Because people need something to fight for. But that something gets lost in the process... And they just end up fighting in proxy wars that have nothing to do with them. Profit, earnings, it just boils down to who makes the biggest paycheck in the end.

Most times, people don't see the other side as being people-- just a figure that needs eliminating.

[identity profile] notjustsunshine.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay she'll let go now so she can look at other things. Like her feet. She makes sure to keep the smile on her face.] Do you...think people like that are bad? [Because L'Cie basically = PMCs.]

Even if they don't make any money? [She shouldn't be talking so seriously with Snake about something that she hasn't discussed with many people but he knows what he's talking about and he's old and she kind of trusts him.]

[She doesn't have a problem with seeing them as people. That's what caused the problems in the first place-she couldn't NOT think of them as living, breathing people no matter what she was told to do.]

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's not about good guys and bad guys. [looks over at the hot dog stand.] It's not about winning or losing. There are sides, but the people on them aren't light or dark. They're just fighting, caught up in something they don't really understand.

But even so, when there's war, there are survivors. [Looks to her.] You'll have to survive and you'll have to get blood on your hands. Sometimes it's too much for people to take... Where I'm from, war has changed.

[Looks down at Marlboro.] Nanomachines are injected into the soldiers' bodies, controlling their emotions, keeping them from suffering from the stress of battle... Making men able to fight without guilt.
