[video] [action for those in Violet]

[imthe_shit]

[The video starts with Snake, who is near the water in Violet City. He's shirtless, surprisingly, with a towel around his neck, and he's forcing himself to do push-ups. It's early morning, so luckily not too hot (about 6am). With him is Mk II, who is managing the PokeGear. Snake is keeping himself active, forcing his body to move even when it gets too tired... He's not ready to be old. He's not ready to be that guy that sits around waiting for death.

Despite his warning from Naomi... He couldn't just give up. And besides... Somewhere in this city, Liquid Snake was waiting for him. He had to be ready at all times... No matter what.

His Pokemon were doing all right... The last few days, he'd been training them just outside of Violet, making sure to avoid the west side of town... He hadn't spotted Liquid in the east side, so might as well avoid that part... The only annoying thing was that every time he left and re-entered Violet, the music would change and restart.]

Hnn...hngh...Hrhgn... [Grunting as he does push-ups... he's sweating, but despite being old, he looks pretty good. He's in good shape for an old geezer... Though it helps that the aging was accelerated.

It's the only good thing about this... He still looked good despite his physical age.] Hhnn... Mk II, thanks. [Sits, and gestures for his partner to come over.] I'll watch it later.

Magnemite! ♥


[ooc: Old Snake's training, but keep in mind that it's about 6am-- So if you're out and about at that time and want to chat, go ahead. an excuse to get snake shirtless no what are you saying ALSO OLD SNAKE SNAPS NECKS WITH HIS ASS WHAT CAN YOU DO?]

... [Frowns.]

For me, it's hard to hear that he has good people as friends... Considering the living hell he's turned my life into... in the time I'm from, he's leading an insurrection, planning to take over the world with his vast private military companies.

People are dying, and I'm trying to stop him... [Looks at Mk II, who's staring at Heather.] So... It's hard for me to forget that for the moment... To focus that this is not the same Liquid I know... That this world is separate from my trials.


I just hope I remember that... So I don't forget it all when I meet him here.

[foolishwren]

... Yeah. I don't-- .... I wouldn't expect you or anybody else to treat someone different just because they happen to have a few nice buddies. ... I know I wouldn't, if what they'd done to me was real bad. It'd be too hard for me to ... separate it. <sub>[And she hadn't, when she herself'd had to do something along the same lines.]

[She wishes she could say she was surprised at hearing what Liquid was destined to do, but she's really not. She heard the rants. She saw that gleam in his eye. She watched the acrobatics. Heather's seen more insanity in her eighteen years of current life than the average layman does in decades, enough to recognize it when she sees it. It's ... depressing.]</sub>

... But m'glad you're gonna try.

_{[.... aaand then she noticed Mk II. .... uhh.]} .... Nice magnet.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Reaches a hand over and pats Mk II.]

His name is Mk II. He's a Magnemite... Though he zones out a lot... So he's a daydreamer.

[foolishwren]

_{[... The juxtaposition of that is so strange that it actually gets a genuine chuckle out of her.]}

A magnet that's a daydreamer? ... Man, maybe I'll never get used to this place...

What's his name mean?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Mark II... it's something Otacon came up with for a little gadget that helps me in my time... A robot that can hold items and shock people, as well as scout out for enemies... he can do a lot of useful things.

It actually stands for Metal Gear Mk II, but I just call it the Mk II for short...


[...] It's a little weird to explain anymore unless you can understand all that, so, uh... Just a machine name.

[foolishwren]

I get it well enough but it's okay, you don't have to explain.

_{[She was curious, though. The more she learned about this world the strange two friends she'd made in this place came from, the more curious she got. Otacon had seemed so down-to-earth, but this stuff sounded like science fiction. ... Not that she didn't believe it, though.]}

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

All right. [Rubs his forehead.] Hhnn... You should go catch up on sleep.

[foolishwren]

_{[She wasn't tired--well, at least not in the sleepy sense, but she could tell a meaningful suggestion when she heard one. So she nodded.]}

Yeah, might as well. Good luck with your training.... n'nice meeting you.

_{[And with that, she'd start to head off!]}
