009 [ video / action for mahogany ]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake's looking a little uncertain when the video feed starts. He's outside, a scarf around his neck with his usual coat on... No point in using the sneaking suit here, even if it DID insulate him a lot better from the cold. ]

So... Today's Valentine's Day, huh?

[ He looks very eager about it. That is to say not. In fact, sliming up his shoulder appears to be one of those... bloober things. ]

Do girls like these? They're cute, I guess, but they sure picked a hell of a day to appear on...

[ It looks at Snake, then presses itself against his cheek, to which he visibly grimaces. ]

...

Ugh.

... Taffy?

... Is Taffy usually slimy like this?

[heartdive]

I mean, like, the colors as stuff.

[imthe_shit]

... Oh.

Hnn. Been a while since I've eaten Taffy. I'll take your word for it.

[heartdive]

Why's that? Don't like sweet things?

[imthe_shit]

Hard to eat. [ --at my age. But Snake doesn't want to admit that. ]

I'm more into ice cream anyway.

[heartdive]

See, I can get behind that. Taffy can kind of be too sticky and messy anyway.

[imthe_shit]

Like these guys.

[ Looks down at the Bloober, which is now trying to slime up his leg. Damn it. ]

[heartdive]

...Except not leaving little goo trails.

[imthe_shit]

... Yeah.

Guess I could just leave him in a Pokeball forever.

[heartdive]

...That's a little harsh, don't you think?

[imthe_shit]

... I was kidding.

[heartdive]

Oh... [ ah ha ha oops. ]

Sorry. Some people do do that though.

[imthe_shit]

I imagine.

But I don't have enough Pokemon to do that kind of thing anyway. ... Not that I would.

[heartdive]

How long have you been here?

[imthe_shit]

Since it's February now, then I guess I've been here for about three or so months... But I was here three years ago, too.

Overall, I've come to just accept anything this place has to offer. Except anything the Rockets are pulling.

[heartdive]

I really don't want to get into all the crap that the Rockets have been doing.

[ kind of makes Sora mad, really. and the police are all but worthless. ]

[imthe_shit]

... Yeah.

[ Snake was still bitter about not being able to make it to Olivine, not that he really would have been able to accomplish much, but he could have done something, surely. ]

Well, guess I'll get back to figuring out what to do about the slime all over the damn place.

[heartdive]

My suggestion is a mop and a bucket.

Or a carpet doctor thingie.

[imthe_shit]

I feel like a mop and bucket will just encourage them.

[heartdive]

...Okay, yeah. Thaat's probably a bad idea. they might jump in the bucket.

[imthe_shit]

I guess people could just try catching them... Or ignoring them. Deal with the slime after they're all gone.

[heartdive]

I didn't really have to try. She just... Kind of followed me. I mean they kinda all follow or stick to you, but still.

Might have to wait until they leave.

[imthe_shit]

You mean if they leave. Maybe they like it here.
