Who are you again?

[ragingbeauty]

[Raven doesn't know why she's suddenly in a plain white room, when just a minute ago she swore she was facing up against Snake. Or rather, she had been in white room anyway and posing for him as he snapped off pictures. But it had been more like an endless space. They were two different things, last time Raven checked.]

Huh...

[She clenches her fists

Temporary unrestricted

[nomorenanos]

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

[Hey, this isn't Shadow Moses. He can still feel pain in his chest from Snake's bullets (he assumes), but this is definitely not the right place.]

[Vamp is just going to stand there with a stupid look on his face now.]

[ragingbeauty]

[You mean like normal right]

...Vamp...

[She had looked up once she heard footsteps, merely glancing at him before going back to resting her head on her knees.]

[nomorenanos]

[Basically]

[Wait... this doesn't make sense. Snake had killed all of the Beauties except Mantis.]

Raven?

[He approaches, looking down at her.]

[ragingbeauty]

[She glares up at him, pulling her bangs out of her eyes.]

How did I get here?

[nomorenanos]

[He refrains from returning the question; he's supposed to be in charge here, it would be a mistake to seem all that clueless.]

What is the last thing you remember?

[ragingbeauty]

Snake... that bastard was taking pictures of me in some white space!

[She growls.]

That pervert! Why was I posing? I didn't want to! I wanted to kill him!

[nomorenanos]

[...Well, he hadn't thought Snake would ever find that out. Really, who tries to take pictures of someone while they're in the process of trying to kill you?]

I see. [No, he isn't going to answer that question either.]

I suppose we had better scout the area.

[ragingbeauty]

Where's my grenade launcher? I want my grenade launcher. I'm not going anywhere without it! Not while they-

[She points to the "birds" above her.]

-are here still!

[nomorenanos]

I don't know, but if I say you're coming, then you're coming.

[He grabs her arm, pulling her to her feet. Why he only appears to have his combat knife on him he can't imagine, nor why he's wearing only sweatpants. Still, he grasps the knife tightly with his free hand.]

I won't have you giving me trouble now. Stick close to me and you'll be fine.

[ragingbeauty]

[Forced to her feet, she tugs her arm out of Vamp's grip but doesn't go to sit back down. After all, she had to obey his orders.]

They're going to peck us both apart! Why are you wearing that? Are you just asking for them to come and tear you to pieces? They're watching us, waiting for us to show a sign of weakness! You're going to get me killed!

[nomorenanos]

[He really, really, isn't in the mood to deal with Raven's particular brand of insanity at the moment... he may be glad to see she's not dead, but the anger is going to have to go away.]

Enough! [He grabs her wrist, tugging her close.]

I will tear them apart with my teeth if I need to. If you fail to obey my orders, however, you'll have other things to worry about, do you understand?

[ragingbeauty]

[Startled and effectively silenced she merely nods, eyes wide. She didn't want to piss off Vamp, bad things usually happened when he was mad.]

[nomorenanos]

[He immediately relaxes when Raven responds as he'd hoped. Releasing her wrist, he heads out of the room, expecting her to follow.]

You have no recollection of this place? [Because he sure doesn't.]

[ragingbeauty]

[She follows, lightly rubbing her wrist where he let go.]

No... well actually, these hallways seem kind of familiar... but I don't know why.

[She stops again, looking around. Why did she feel like she should know this place?]

[nomorenanos]

Odd.

[He stops as well, hoping something will jog her memory.]

See if you can remember anything.

[ragingbeauty]

[She frowns, trying to figure out the odd feeling of nostalgia she was experiencing... but she couldn't pick anything out. Maybe the hallways made her feel unhappy at the most, but she couldn't understand why that would be.]

I can't remember...
