[The audio starts with a brief whine of feedback. After working with nanocommunications for so many years, switching back to an old fashioned broadcast can be a little strange in itself. But Snake is nothing if not adaptable, and old habits are easy enough to fall back into. People familiar with Big Boss will recognize the voice. Different in the ( Read more... )

[It takes Kadaj a moment to realise that that voice didn't belong to Big Boss (or that if it did, Big Boss had suddenly contracted Liquid's amnesia). Briefly he considers checking in with Liquid to make sure the man wasn't going to do something too stupid... but then he just shrugs. Snake could deal, and Liquid... was Liquid.]

They think they can tell us our memories are fake. [In a way, he's testing. Would Snake remember who he was, or had he forgotten, too?]

Hm. And do you believe it?

[Not too indicative either way. He'll leave you hanging for a bit.]

[Jerk.]

Why would I? I know my memories are real, and I'll kill anyone who tries to tell me otherwise.

[Nobody's making you talk to him, Kadaj.]

Bit of an overreaction, don't you think? If you're so sure of yourself, why does it matter?

[Maybe because he's not so sure of himself. Not at all.]

I hate liars. [A shrug.] You're probably too weak right now for Liquid to care about fighting. It wears off.

[He raises an eyebrow at the abrupt change in topic, but he doesn't bring it up, for now. See, he can be nice.]

We spoke. He said something about that.

[The wearing off. And the not being interested in fighting him until it does.]

He doesn't remember anything. Mm... I guess if you spoke to him, you know already.

[Testing, again.]

I noticed. He's back to being a bigger pain in the ass. Wish I knew what changed his mind last time.

[There's your answer, Kadaj. He's not actually looking to play any games.]

[Ah, there we go. Saves him having to ask. And he's just going to act like he knew all along.]

...I convinced him not to kill Boss, but I don't think you'll be so lucky. He died. Back in your world. He doesn't talk about it much, but... Mm.

[A shrug. Kadaj knew Liquid well enough by now to understand just how messed up he was.]

[Of course you knew.]

So he's out to even the score, huh? You should know I'm not going to sit back and take it.

[A mocking laugh, though it doesn't seem as cruel as it tended to be towards most people.]

Well then you'd better hurry up and get stronger again. He's got a head start.

[Is that special treatment? Keep it up and he might suspect you secretly like him a little, Kadaj.]

Hn. Sounds like you're enjoying this.

[Hey, he still thinks you're boring and kind of a jerk. But you're not as bad as some people. Besides, the kid's in the process of building himself a little replacement family unit seeing as his real family is still missing.]

It's fun watching Liquid make an idiot out of himself. [And even more fun reminding him of it later on.]

[...Just what he needs, more crazy family. Snake is kind of a jerk sometimes, so don't expect that to change too much.]

[He huffs and passes a hand over his eyes.]

Fun for you, maybe.

[He can deal with jerks. He's kind of a jerk himself, after all. And hey, look at Liquid.]

Liquid says they made you better than him, but he's going to surpass you. If he can, then... [Then maybe Kadaj can surpass his own brother. It was Liquid who was responsible for planting that idea in his mind, and Liquid who kept him focused on it, kept him believing he was somehow capable. If Liquid failed...]

Found you.

[If you were wondering why Kadaj hadn't really been paying attention to the video feed, it should be obvious now. He cuts the connection a moment later, studying Snake closely as he approached.]

If you want to avoid him, you're not doing a very good job.

Liquid's an idiot. I don't care about any of that.

[Good thing you didn't finish that thought, 'cause Snake would point out that it doesn't make a damn bit of sense. Doesn't matter what Liquid does, Kadaj. Your actions are your own.]

[He'd been sitting against the wall of the building when Kadaj arrived, likely avoiding the crowd of unfamiliar people who live in the hostel. He doesn't answer immediately, but Kadaj gets a sullen and wary look as he stands, stifling a bit of irritation at himself because he spots Kadaj a little too late, reacts a little too slowly. Like everyone who wakes up here he's more than a little out of sorts. Like he's been laid up for a long, long time and gotten thrown back onto the field without warning.]

Didn't know you were looking, too. Missed me that much, huh?
