[video] [action for those in Violet]

[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?]

What's good to know?

That I'm on my way to another city, or that you're not the only one training?

That you haven't given up after getting your butt handed to you by that gym leader. One of the hardest things for soldiers to learn is how to keep going, no matter what.

It's good that you aren't having that problem.

Only the winners get back up after being knocked down, right?

It's not about winning or losing. It's about having the will to do what's needed.

Not a fan of victory thirsty folks?

I've never been able to taste true victory, so I can't say that I am.

There's always time to taste true victory at least once in your life.

Don't tell me you think saying "I did my best" is good enough.

Maybe, but I always taste the bitterness before the rest.

It's not good enough. But sometimes it's all there is. And you'll go on hating yourself even after telling people "I did my best".

Or you'll go on to become just another small fry who never climbed to the top.

And I don't have any fucking interest in that.

I've been to the top... Just didn't like the view so much up there.

[identity profile] devilbatshit.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The view is bound to get boring if you stay there for too long.

All you need to do is find a different fucking top to climb to.

So, training your pokémon aswell?

I will be... Just right now, I need to train my own body.

I don't want to become a saggy old man.

....

Okay, I change my mind, I'm glad you're going to a different city.

I miss you already, fucking Snake.

Better hope I'll still be here when you get back.

Best case scenario you've left since you beat the gym leader, so I hope your ass is no longer in Violet.
