shoppin', shoppin' [Video ; Action]

[Old Snake's in the department store in Goldenrod, having gone to the natural food section and looking for things to improve his own health as well as make his Pokemon stronger. The shelves were stacked to the ceiling, the area smelled like yogurt and herbs with a hint of dust, and there was this short old woman who kept eying him.

He was certain those were bedroom eyes.

She worked the frozen yogurt machine, and while Old Snake did enjoy frozen yogurt, he was certain he did not want it enough to go near her.

In his right hand is the PokeGear, and in his left is a list of items to pick up. He's got a basket hanging from his left arm with a few proteins and calciums, very carefully taking those because they're expensive as hell.

Sitting on his head is Snake's Surskit, looking at all the items and trying to help with picking things out. Snake knew the basics of what you could eat for survival and on the battlefield, but he was no Big Boss. He frowned, turning on the Gear.]


This is Snake. I'm in the Natural Foods department of the Goldenrod Department Store... What the hell should I buy for my team to keep them strong? Keep in mind that I've got a tight budget.

[After having given Solid to Heather for a short time (and the both of them having minor heart attacks when Solid suddenly evolved into a Steelix), Snake had begun to think more about what could help his Pokemon get stronger, as well as evolve if they needed to.]

Hnn. I'm debating on getting tofu. I'm not sure I should feed them anything with real meat in it... [He's not much of a vegetarian himself, but he can't really see Surskit liking and eating a steak. Especially when he's unsure of where the steak would come from.]

[ .... BIG MAMA NOOOO ]

... Well, Vegetarians don't survive on tofu, but it's a good way to get protein. Also protein supplements are good, but my Pokemon don't like taking them. Solid used to, though.

Yeah, my Onix. Well, Steelix now... Heather's got him.

Me either... But you learn a few things when you live in Alaska.

I retired from my previous faction and drifted. Eventually I ended up in Alaska... I wanted to be alone, away from it all.

[ SHOULD HAVE ]

There are enough tribes living up there to keep me company if I needed it. I got into dog sledding, and I'd take part in dog sled races with the nearby Eskimo and Inuit peoples.

I can't imagine living for 500 years.

Maybe just figuring out what's in the protein supplements and getting stuff that has that instead?

Claire, you told me that you died once.

That's what I'm thinking of doing, too. [except i don't want to ask that flirtatious old woman.]

You came back to life.

That means you can't die, doesn't it? [He's putting it together, despite thinking it still could be because of nanomachines.]

[Snake knew that he could now share his upsetting story with Claire, but... well, he didn't really feel like it. After all, he imagined he had plenty of time to do that some other day.]

When did you start being able to... not die?

[Pfft. Maybe she'd give you a discount.]

Well, usually it's just meat. Though since they don't eat the pokemon, I have no idea where the meat comes from.

I imagine that Pokemon can eat other Pokemon, or at least the eggs, but I'm not going to find that out.

[Shrugs.] I might get some tofu while I'm here, anyway.
justicereigns: (Starting a smoke)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-04-25 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hn. Good luck with that.

[Clearly not a tofu person.]

[video]

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-04-25 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a fan.

Though I tend to be more inclined with "whatever works." The pervert chef got more particular about healthy food types, but so long as they're fed and Straw-hat stops whining, works for me.

[video]

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-04-25 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get that. On the battlefield, you don't have the luxury of only eating what you like. As long as it keeps you healthy, it's what you're going to eat.

[Though rations weren't exactly the best for you over an extended period of time.]
justicereigns: (relaxing at the bar)

[video]

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-04-25 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much.

I mean I was a Captain, so I had more options. Plus when I was stationed at Loguetown, I could just skip out to the bars. [Which he did. All the time.]

Still, some habits die hard.

[video]

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-04-25 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Frown.]

Sounds like you had it made.
justicereigns: (dark hallways)

[video]

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-04-25 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Loguetown was pretty boring. It's in the weakest ocean in the world, the pirates that came through looking to be like Gold Rogers were all weaklings.

Can't say the same for the rest of the Grand Line, but most marine wars and battles aren't elongated for more than a couple of days at most.

[video]

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-04-25 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
So, you'd take bad food over being bored, huh? [At this point, Snake's not sure if he'd do the same or relax in a boring place.]
justicereigns: (Let it all slip away)

Always.

You can't get stronger standing still.

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like to stand still for a little while. [Always getting called out when he has a chance to relax.]
justicereigns: (?)

[video]

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-04-26 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

I can't stand it... It makes me feel like I'm slipping backwards to not be racing ahead.

[video]

[identity profile] imthe-shit.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I've raced ahead more than I've wanted to. I keep getting called back out even when my tires are shot.

Claire, I have a favor to ask. If you see Heather, could you spend time with her? I can't be there in Violet right now, and she could use some company.
justicereigns: (Grrr)

Hn. My bosses are the opposite. Incompetent morons. Always trying to station me somewhere useless.

Maybe we should switch.

Probably. If you wanted a somewhat quiet retirement. There's always pirates anywhere though. Just weak ones.
