War Has Changed

[The video clicks on, and at first, the only sight is Sunny's face, peering at the device curiously. She trills happily, then turns around, running over to a knelt figure, her feet splashing on the grass a bit. The knelt figure is Old Snake, who appears to be speaking to a Magnemite. It's floating in place, watching Snake, unblinking. His mumbling soon becomes coherent when he stretches out his hand to Sunny.]

Sunny. Did you turn on the PokeGear? .. [Looks at the Gear and then shrugs.] Hnnh... Not my problem... [Looks at the Magnemite.] Mk II.

Maaagneeeemiiiiite.

...

Do you seriously only say your name?

Miiiite?

... Hnn. [Places a hand near Mk II's eye, holding it out. The magnet's eyeball looks at the offered hand, then floats up, before sitting down on Snake's hand. Hmm.]

Good. Sunny, meet Mk II. ... You two get along or something... [Looks at Sunny.]

Brrr-brrriii! [Sunny waves her arms around gleefully, before dancing on the spot. Mk II floats off Snake's hand, before doing a 360 degree turn, its eyeball changing from stagnant to actually looking happy. Well, at least they weren't fighting...]

So, what do you think... Leave or stay? ... I really need a smoke... [Sighs, rubbing his face as he takes out a cigarette and places it in his mouth. He didn't have a light. 8T]

Hnn...

[Snake is looking rather worried. His mysterious egg is wiggling around a lot more than usual lately. He'd been trying to take good care of it, such as letting it stay close to his body, even when he slept, he'd also polish it daily.... or fall asleep while doing it. But he was really trying to at least have it hatch... If he couldn't eat it, it might as well entertain him somehow.


But now he had a feeling it was hatching. And oh god. How he wished he'd just eaten it. It was now that he realized he was going to have to look after a baby animal. He didn't worry too much about Solid, Liquid and Solidus, the three chickens on the Nomad, mostly because Sunny and Otacon took care of them. But this... this egg was his responsibil-- oh god. What was that sound.]

... Hahhnn... [Grabs the egg and picks it up, looking about worriedly. He could hear a crackling sound. Nononono, don't hatch don't hatch don't hatch-- oh god it was hatching. Snake's hands were shaking, half in anticipation, half in OH GOD WHAT DO I DO. He stepped over to the bed, and sat there, holding the egg before him, just staring at it... And suddenly...

POP.

The top of the egg popped off, surprising Snake enough to cause a large, red exclamation mark to appear above his head, along with a ZING like sound. His eyes were wider now, and he swallows nervously... But it doesn't end there. Little feet and arms also emerge from the egg, but the rest of the egg doesn't seem to be coming off...

What in the...

[And then, there's a face looking at him, with adorable beady eyes and a confused look. Snake's face is white as a sheet, and he just stares back, mustache twitching somewhat. I-it was... c-cute...??]

Toge...briiii?

[..............................]

.... Uh, hi. [Well, this was going to be fun.]


[ooc: Shelly can respond here and anyone else who happens to enter Snake's borrowed house in New Bark Town. :3]

This is Snake. Otacon, do you read me? I didn't think I'd be dropped off somewhere so... weird looking. Wasn't I supposed to protect Big Boss's corpse? And what about Raging Raven? Big Mama's badly injured, and I don't know how long she'll last at this rate... Anyway, that aside, I might as well inform you of my location. I appear to be in a small town, and my clothes are... Hnn... Not exactly what I had in mind for wearing. I don't have any of my gear, not even my codec, so I'm stuck with this weird looking thing. Apparently, it's called a "Poke Gear". Hell if I know, all I managed to figure out was how to write and talk with it. I guess that's good for starts. Oh yeah, I, uh... I found a weird looking egg outside in the grass while I was scouting the area. It started to rain, so I brought it with me. It's kind of big, maybe about 30cm tall and 25cm wide. It's got triangles and circles all over it, too. I've never seen an egg like this before... I wonder how it tastes.
