[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.

.... Oh.

... Okay, good.

........

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.]}

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[...lmfao]

Sounds like fun.

asdklhsdfllas oh god sad Snake face

[foolishwren]

I'm sure once you get to Violet, Otacon will tell you all about it. _{[She'd have suggested that maybe Snake have his OWN crazy drunken night of lols with Otacon and Liquid, but... she already knew about the whole 'BRRRRRROTHERRRR!' (although she only really knew Liquid's batshit-insane version and was inclined to not take it that seriously) thing and was... well. You know. A little worried.]}

his entire face just squishes like a manatee's

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

...

What's Liquid doing right now?

... that is an image I will never be able to get out of my head now.

[foolishwren]

Uh-- ... well, I'm already en route, but last time I talked to him, we argued about his hair. I think he dyes it. _{[Heather, Snake does not care about your stupid teenage girl arguments that you have with Liquid. ... Even if it was pretty funny that Liquid had stooped to arguing about hair with a teenage girl.]}

He's been pretty calm, though, if that's what you mean. _{[If everything Otacon had told her was true, then Snake was already completely familiar with the whole 'big dramatic violent monologues' thing.]}

old snake face smoosh! MMMMMUA

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[nah it's just Snake here that dyes it. Since he was originally very bloooond at least in MGS1 at the beginning]

Calm... All right.



Don't let him jump around too much... He could break something. [LIKE AN ARM but then Old Snake would be thankful.]

Now I want a gif of Snake slowly drifting into a glass window, smooshing, and drifting away again.

[foolishwren]

Yeeeah, we've been trying to keep him from getting too crazy with the gymnastics. ... As impressive as they are. _{[As fundamentally disturbing as watching Liquid launch into his batshit mode had been, Heather had kind of been unable to take it seriously on account of the fact that he was doing flips and shit the whole time.]}

If I'm not back to Violet within the next couple of days, I'm sure Otacon will be able to handle him for a little while. He's actually been really good at making sure he doesn't do anything crazy.
