[The NV is set down just opposite him and he steps back to perch on the edge of a table. The astute might notice the Materia Kadaj gave him barely visible underneath his discarded coat, but other than that, there's nothing else visible of the room.

Liquid actually seems... happy. It's nothing concrete. It's written more in the lines of his body ( Read more... )

[Ocelot settles himself onto a couch near Liquid.]

Chess is an interesting analogy. Are you a piece or a player?

action ysobritish September 19 2010, 21:37:03 UTC

A true player will be sure to place themselves on the field as well... to enhance the risk.

[He looks over at Ocelot, smirking a little.]

action fancy_shooting September 19 2010, 21:46:22 UTC

Chess is a poor analogy anyway. Kings are nearly worthless... their armies have to sacrifice themselves to keep them alive. True leaders should have their own power.

[Ocelot rises from the couch and walks over to a window.]

action ysobritish September 19 2010, 21:49:45 UTC

True. Any leader worth his salt should be able to handle themselves with or without their army.

[He watches him idly, looking amused.]

Wolf and I are hitting up a pharmacy later. Anything you need?

action fancy_shooting September 19 2010, 21:53:06 UTC

They're worth nothing if they can't do anything but sit behind their forces.

[He leans on the windowsill, looking outside while speaking to the other man.]

Hmm......... how about some heavy sedatives. Or tranquilizers.

And we're out of milk.

action ysobritish September 19 2010, 21:59:33 UTC

... [He doesn't want to know.] Right. I'll be sure to pick those up.

[A sigh.]

And you're right. Only a fool would be so weak. How can anyone so pathetic hope to hold command of anyone?

action fancy_shooting September 19 2010, 22:02:48 UTC

[He tilts his head slightly... still facing the window, but looking directly at Liquid's reflection.]

...You might be pleased to know that I think you must have been a worthy leader in your time.

action ysobritish September 19 2010, 22:05:54 UTC

...

[He is pleased. That earns Ocelot a smile.]

Thank you, Ocelot.

action fancy_shooting September 21 2010, 18:53:57 UTC

It's just a compliment to your worth. I haven't seen how you command a unit yet.

action ysobritish September 21 2010, 19:05:40 UTC

Heh. If the rest of my unit feel the urge to show up here, perhaps you might.

action fancy_shooting September 21 2010, 20:05:51 UTC

You haven't told me a lot about myself yet.

action ysobritish September 21 2010, 20:07:08 UTC

Something in particular you wanted to know?

action fancy_shooting September 21 2010, 20:10:49 UTC

Anything that stood out.

And what I looked like.

action ysobritish September 21 2010, 20:18:07 UTC

Hm... [He ponders for a moment on how much to tell and how to phrase it.] Let's see... you were sneaky, the best torturer - ah, sorry, "interrogator" I knew of. The best with your revolvers, too.

[What Ocelot looked like?]

You were in your early sixties by my time. Tall, grey hair. A moustache. You flounced strode around the place like a bantam cock. You dressed rather sombrely, if you discounted the long and flashy coat and the bullet loop you wore. Oh, and the gloves. Other than that, you'd have looked just like any other soldier, really.

[If any other soldier was determined to be mistaken for a cowboy.]
