[Video] Forward dated to Sunday Afternoon

[ysobritish]

HEY! LISTEN UP!

[The loud exclaimation in fact comes from a small blond boy practically drowning in his FOXHOUND coat. Despite being mostly unable to move in it, he stubbornly stands on the table and talks into the NV. He doesn't look any older than seven at the most.Even if I'm tiny now, I could still kick all of your asses! So don't

... [That coat looks familiar. And so is that blond hair.]

Liquid?

[ysobritish]

Genesis! Hi! [He waves an oversized sleeve at him.] I dunno how this happened.

[redpeacock]

I have no idea either.

[It's really funny looking at someone you've been intimate with turn into... that age.]

Are you alright?

[He wonders if this will be permanent.]

[ysobritish]

...I don't know.

[He looks downcast.]

It happened so fast... And I- I- [Mustn't cry, soldiers don't cry-] What if everyone stops liking me because I'm tiny and weak now?! I can't be the greatest soldier if I don't even come up to my own knees!

[redpeacock]

... [Arrrgh bittyquid, stop making Gen want to come right over there and scoop you up like the bitty you are.]

Is that your dream, Liquid? To be the greatest soldier?

[How else would he speak to a bitty??]

[ysobritish]

...yeah. Even though it's-

[No. No, those memories are confusing him. He can still be the greatest, even now-!]

That's right! [He strikes an awkward pose, almost tripping on the massive coat wrapped around him.] I'm going to be the greatest, just like Father! And nobody'll ever, ever call me worthless again!

[redpeacock]

[He chuckles. He's... so darling. And he reminds him of himself.]

Do you have someone to take care of you right now, Liquid?

[Although he's rather sure he has Sniper Wolf.]

[ysobritish]

Wolf is always watching me. An' I don't need anyone to take care of me! I'll be fine on my own!

[Fidget. No, he doesn't, really. When it comes down to it, his options are Francis, Kadaj, or Shinji. He wouldn't put this burden on anyone else!]

[redpeacock]

[He laughs.]

... you seriously do remind me of myself far too often.

[ysobritish]

Isn't that good? You're cool, after all! So that means I must be cool too!

[redpeacock]

[He laughs]

You really think I am cool, Liquid?

[ysobritish]

Are you kidding? You're the coolest! [Griiiin.]

[redpeacock]

Why thank you. I think you're rather cool, too.

[ysobritish]

[...eeeeee commpliments. Brb BEAMING. At least until he realises that's undignified and coughs.]

Of course I am! I'm Liquid Snake!

[redpeacock]

[He laughs! Oh, Liquid. Why are you such a cute child?]

The great Liquid Snake-- it has a certain ring to it.

[ysobritish]

Of course it does. Waaay better than it would if it were Solid Snake or Big Boss.
