[Well, here we are on the evening of July seventh in Ecruteak, and the video shows an overly-affectionate Arbok squishing a nerd in red and white.]

Y'know, Ecruteak's really--ow, Kotai--really nice. It's a lot quieter than Goldenrod. And it seems like a nice place to celebrate tonight.

[He gave a halfhearted attempt at prying off the cuddly Arbok ( Read more... )

It's a bit boring, if you ask me.

[Then again, Liquid thought that going ten minutes without an explosion was boring, so perhaps his opinion was invalid.]

[action] philanthrotaku July 9 2011, 02:12:57 UTC

I don't think I did. Mostly because I figured you'd say that.

[action] boldandresolute July 9 2011, 02:14:46 UTC

Mm. [Liquid gave his opinion whether it was asked-for or not.] What are you wearing that ridiculous thing for, anyway?

[action] philanthrotaku July 9 2011, 02:16:58 UTC

Well, first of all because it's comfortable.

[Unlike Kotai at the moment, which was why she was getting called back into her Pokeball as soon as Otacon was sure he wouldn't fall over once she was gone.

Secondly, Tanabata's tonight. I figured a town like this would definitely have some kind of celebration for it.

What the hell is Tanabata?

[action] philanthrotaku July 9 2011, 02:28:04 UTC

[There weren't many ways to tell when Otacon was about to launch into a wall o'text, considering that this is Metal Gear we're talking about.]

[But when he adjusted his glasses just the right way with that one particular smile on his face, it was a safe bet that you might as well sit down, because you'd be there for a while.]Tanabata's the Japanese star festival centered around the meeting of Orihime and Hikoboshi, a pair of lovers separated by the Milky Way and represented by the stars Vega and Altair ( ... )

...

[What is he boinking]

[Yeah, watch him tune out most of that.]

Right, sure.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE]

Usually it's celebrated by writing down a wish and tying it to a tree branch. There's all kinds of other things, too--decorations, food, probably fireworks at some point...

[action] boldandresolute July 9 2011, 02:35:13 UTC

Mm-hm.

[He's totally listening to you, Otacon.]

[action] philanthrotaku July 9 2011, 02:38:58 UTC

[Nope, no idea that he's being mostly ignored.]

So what do you think? Sounds like fun, right?

[action] boldandresolute July 9 2011, 02:40:55 UTC

Yes, of course.

[Automatically agreeing when asked a question-- the male defense mechanism since the beginning of time.]

[action] philanthrotaku July 9 2011, 02:43:11 UTC

Great--I got you a yukata, too. Pretty sure it's the right size, and I didn't know what color you'd want so I really hope you like blue.

[Liquid, this is going down a potentially embarrassing road very fast. Might want to pay attention.]

[action] boldandresolute July 9 2011, 02:44:46 UTC

That sounds fine.

[Nope, not listening.]

[action] philanthrotaku July 9 2011, 02:52:55 UTC

[Honestly, Otacon really should've noticed that Liquid was rarely this agreeable. Oh, well.]

[You're getting a hug, unusually-agreeable-Liquid.]

[action] boldandresolute July 9 2011, 02:54:28 UTC

[This hug confused Liquid, but considering that Otacon wasn't yelling, angry, or annoyed at him, that meant that the male defense mechanism had worked yet again.]

[So have a hug, Derpacon.]

[action] philanthrotaku July 9 2011, 03:08:25 UTC

Okay, then I'll meet you outside. Try not to take forever, okay?

[And zoom, he's gone. Leaving you with a box sitting on the bed.]

[A box with a totally sweet outfit in it.]
