A Snake. One of many in this place, one who often keeps to himself

[There's an old man lurking.]

[firmus_serpent]

...

[Snake doesn't think he's seeing this right at first, he pushes off from the wall.]

Big Boss?

[snakenbake]

Yes I am.

[He tilts his head at the odd look David is giving him.]

[firmus_serpent]

You're supposed to dead.

[pause]

And older.

[snakenbake]

Well...I'm not dead and I think that I'm old enough right now.

[He folds his arms.]

[firmus_serpent]

Right...

[snakenbake]

What?

[firmus_serpent]

It's just a little creepy. That's all.

[snakenbake]

I'm 'creepy'?

[FROWN.]

That's a bit of a strange thing to say to someone.

[firmus_serpent]

No... it's...

[Snake grumbles and runs his hand through his hair.] Never mind.

[snakenbake]

Hnh.

It's fine. People should speak their minds more often.

This sort of explains some things.

[firmus_serpent]

Explains some things?

[snakenbake]

Yes: people's general apprehensive reaction to me.

...

[He unfolds his arms then sticks his hands in his pockets.]

I don't think that I will ever get used to it, but I guess it comes with being stuck here.

[firmus_serpent]

Hnh.

What kind of reaction do you usually get?

[snakenbake]

Something similar to yours, sans the 'creepy' part.

That Otacon kid was terrified of me. That was about the worst reaction I've gotten so far.

[He sighs.] It's hard to make friends here, at least, for me. My reputation precedes me.

[firmus_serpent]

[Snake chuckles] Otacon is like that. Should have seen what he did when he met me.

[He grows more serious at the mention of friends.]
