[The video starts with a distressed looking Old Snake. Well, as distressed as that old frowny face can look... The PokeGear was facing Chicken, who didn't look so hot. She was on her side, looking quite exhausted, and weak. Snake, on the other hand, was digging through his inventory backpack, searching for one of those Potions he found while sneaking in the tall grass. Taking one out, he moved close to Chicken and began to gently spray her with it.]

Come on... Don't fall on me now. I know you can do this... We're a team...

[Chicken's eyes flutter, before she actually wakes up, and slowly stands. Snake grunts, then gently pets her, giving a soft smirk.]

Hnn. Good girl.

Probably.


I'd take rations any day.

[foolishwren]

_{[That hamburger she'd FINALLY gotten after craving one for like three weeks had been a lie.]}

What's 'rations'?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Rations. Food that soldiers usually have... Sort of like a freeze wrapped meal... Small, but enough to keep you fed. It also restores your LIFE meter if it's low.

[aaah MGS fourth wall. where would we be without you.]

[foolishwren]

_{[Oh. Well that made se-- ....waitaminute.]}

... LIFE meter? ... <sub>are you a robot?

[Nowhere. That's where.]</sub>

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

.......

Nno.

[foolishwren]

.... Oh.

... Okay, good.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

........

Hnnn.... You don't have a LIFE meter?

[foolishwren]

.... Nnnot that I know of...

_{[Silent Hill's unfortunate, bedraggled heroes just had a little screen that got progressively redder and throbbed more and more desperately the harsher a beating they got, at least until they could medicate with unknown chemicals found in suspicious places.]}

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... What about a Psyche Gauge?

[foolishwren]

.... Uh... _{[YOU'RE WEIRDIN' HER OUT, BRO.]} ... Nnnnoooo?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

..... Hnn. I guess it's just me, then.


Lucky.

[foolishwren]

I'll say. I'm not gonna lie, that's kind of weird... maybe it's some military thing? _{[It's the only explanation she can think of... after all, it's not like either of them are from some video game or something. (ba DUM TSH!)]}

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Yeah... Part of being an old soldier.

[foolishwren]

_{[Man... being whatever kind of soldier he was must suck.]}

I guess it must at least give you a pretty good grasp of when it's time to rest and regroup, though, huh?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I work alone.


Any support I have usually isn't on the battlefield with me. If I want to talk to someone, it's all by codec system.


I don't recommend being in my line of work. Not if you like people.

[foolishwren]

Well... I meant more along the lines of regroup mentally...

Anyway, don't worry. I don't plan on it. _{[Heather liked guns, liked kicking ass... but she'd make a lousy soldier.]}

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

...

Anyway... I'm still heading to Violet.

[foolishwren]

_{[Awkward segway was awkward, but appreciated!]}

I'm coming back in this direction, actually-- ... but I won't be away long. I'm coming back to Violet as soon as I've met up with the guy I'm looking for.

You gotten hold of Otacon yet?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, finally did. Almost like the guy's been avoiding me. [OR DRUNK]

[foolishwren]

_{[OH-- COUGH-- SNAKE KNOWS ABOUT THAT, HUH.]}

I'm sure he hasn't. It's been kinda hectic, all things considered. _{[And. You know. Drunken. Heather has no idea Otacon tattled.]}

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Had fun drinking?

[foolishwren]

_{[--OH SNAP]}

.... UH. ... Yeah. Well, 'till the hangover part. Then it was more like Suck City.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... I get you there.

[foolishwren]

Anyway-- uh... yeah, it was kinda a stupid idea, but it was fun while it lasted. ... Aaand we got rice balls for Otacon, so he was happy. _{[And then they had argued about sheep and Lord of the Rings, been forced to stop Liquid from trying to drunkenly call Snake, been kicked out of the restaurant, destroyed public property, and then Liquid had tried to defeat a bunch of lawn chairs with his face and they had all eventually conked out at the base of a tree. It was one of those nights.]}

Sounds like fun.
