...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... )

[...oh. Hngh. He passes a hand over his eyes in mute frustration for a second before he answers.]
They're definitely not local. Zanzibarland is halfway across the world. At least, it was back home.

I went there on a mission, once.

[He leans back and runs a hand through his hair. Snake was never good with kids. No idea how to talk to them. It's a good thing Sunny's used to him already.]
Look, don't you--
[And a pause.]
...Mister what?

[He tilts his head curiously at the kid.]
...don't you have anything better to do?

[ headcant to the side, curiously. ]
Like what? Idui doeshn't go to shchool and doeshn't have a job yet.

[ and a little bitty sigh. ] Idui'sh a weapon, sho Idui doeshn't need to go to school. And Idui findsh out about thingsh by talking to people.

A weapon? Someone tell you that?

Why would shomeone shay it if Idui ishn't a weapon?

Sounds like they don't want you to think you have a choice in the matter. Restricting information is one of the best ways to keep people in line.
[And he should know.]

But Idui'sh an Adel Raid, Idui'sh a weapon. Um.
[ fidget fidget fidget. ]
Doesh Mishter Shnake not know what a shword ish? Idui turnsh into a shword for fighting. It'sh a weapon.
Mishter Shnake'sh kind of weird.
