Fifth Mission

[need_a_smoke]

[Snake's rapid aging genetics, after ten years, have caused him to sound and look much much much older than he should be. Right now, he looks and sounds about sixty years old. He's pretty freaked out, as he doesn't really know why this happened since he's got no way to find out in Mayfield, but he's keeping that to himself. He's kind of assuming

... if you don't mind me asking... how did you end up aging so fast?

Y-you don't have to answer if you want, it's just been kind of bugging me...

[need_a_smoke]

Don't really know.

[stop_it_tewi]

You... don't?

Not at all?

[need_a_smoke]

You got me, kid.

[stop_it_tewi]

... do you think Mayfield might have done something...?

[need_a_smoke]

No telling, maybe.

I'm not gonna bother thinking about it.

[stop_it_tewi]

...

Maybe you should let Master take a look at you. She might be able to figure out something.

[need_a_smoke]

I'm done with doctors, kid.

[stop_it_tewi]

... I-I know you've had a bad experience with doctors before, but... I can vouch for Master. She wouldn't do anything to you that you wouldn't want.

[need_a_smoke]

No way.

Maybe if I die of old age here I'll get to go back, either way it doesn't really matter anyway.

[stop_it_tewi]

...

Maybe I should drag you over to her.

[need_a_smoke]

I may look old but I think you're still gonna have trouble doing that.

[stop_it_tewi]

*there's a sigh at that*

I'll leave you alone. But... do consider it, at least.

[need_a_smoke]

I might.

[stop_it_tewi]

...

Do you... mind if I at least take a blood sample from you?

[need_a_smoke]

[Snake REALLY doesn't wanna do that...but he also does want to know why the hell he's pretty much sixty years old now.]

Fine. Don't do anything weird with it.
