...Zanzibar? What the hell-
[Here's a voice that doesn't crop up on the network at large all that often. Snake's not really too good with public speaking or small talk. This, however, is neither of those. In fact, he'd meant to direct it to ysobritish, but in his haste, it's gone public ( Read more... )

[Even though it's public, he's pretty sure he's the one that Snake's addressing.]
Brother, you're blaming me for an influx of Father's favoured genetically-altered pets? How the devil would I arrange for the import of something like that from Zanzibar Land?
[A pause.]
They're cute though.
[And that might be a pet shop in the background.]

Don't know who else would. They're not exactly local.
[Yes, he's blaming you. Because all of Snake's problems have to do with you or Big Boss or Ocelot and you're the only one still around. B| ]
All I know is that you've got a history of following in his footsteps.

[Liquid glowers.]
I am nothing like that madman! ...or the less mad man from the past!
[A low growl of annoyance.]
Don't blame me. Maybe they just like you. [A pause.] Want one?

What? No. Are you insane?

I think they'd make a marvellous defense mechanism... I really do think I should get some.

Defense against what?

Intruders. After all, you said it yourself. If this plan of Kadaj's somehow, by a miracle, works then people are going to be looking at him - and us - to try to find it. Plus it might be a good defense against burglars, assassins... Well, anything that might get in our- [He pauses, glancing behind him, and stills.]

[Snake had gotten past them, after all.]

What are you doing?

[The words are spoken almost absently before he jerks forward sharply.]
That's my coat, damn you! [There's an odd note of disbelief in his voice.]

...huh?

[Liquid slowly turns the camera to show - Ocelot's goat.]

[woah, deja vu]

It's our goat.
[He sounds stunned. The goat nibbles on his gloves, which he jerks away before patting it on the head slowly.]

...no.
[That doesn't even make any sense.]

[The goat just looks at him.]
It's definitely him. Well now. This is certainly a sign of good things.
[Liquid is smiling. He flips the NV in his hand so it's focused on him again.]
You're off the hook, it seems. Although how he's survived so long, I don't know. Perhaps he'd be a better defense than the hamsters.
[He's already debating making him a little camo coat or something. Not that he'd really do it, that'd be stupid... but having a goat guarding the place sounds much better than poisonous hamsters!]

[You know, Snake really can't do much more than stare at this point. Sometimes he wonders if you do this shit just to mess with him.]
