003:// [Violet City] -Video
[There's a shivering Jack in the Violet city Pokecenter, trying to warm up his hands. His hair is damp, as are his clothes, and he looks pretty irritated. A woman comes over (she looks suspiciously like the nurse in Cherrygrove, what gives?) and hands him a blanket and a warm cup of what looks to be hot chocolate. "You and your Pokemon will be fine
( Read more... )
He's uncomfortably warm and he hogs the bed.

If he's going to be nuts in the future, it just means he hasn't cracked yet. Which means he will crack at some point.
[Faith, Raiden has it in people.]
Yeah, Solidus. He's Snake and Liquid's brother... the third of three, don't worry, there aren't another thirty of them out there. But... well, in my opinion, Solidus is the craziest of them all. Not that Snake is crazy, or anything. But Solidus has no redeeming qualities, and he's always been nuts, and I bet he was still nutters when he was the President! He just hid it well. And if he shows up here...
[Jack shivers. Someone has daddy issues.]

Hey, nurture over nature, all right? This world is totally different from wherever you guys came from and he's actually, like. Got people looking after him now. Hal and I will make sure he doesn't go bonkers, okay? Give the guy a chance. [Heather prefers to believe in the person she knows rather than the one they supposedly eventually become. And stuff. This attitude might well get her in trouble, but for the moment, she'll be continuing to believe in Liquid. ... Well, and in his unending ability to be a dumb douche, but still.]
Solidus, huh. [SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THE HELL "GAS SNAKE" WAS. Because with Naked around, "Gas" was the only thing she needed to have a full arsenal of childish bathroom-related jokes to constantly bombard them with. Too bad 'Solidus' was pretty hard to work with in that regard. What the hell could you do with 'Solidus'?]I was gettin' kinda worried, like, how many Snakes are OUT there ( ... )

[He nods, gloomy.]
Yeah. I had just killed him before I got here, so I suppose if he turned up he wouldn't be very happy with me... but no matter what age he comes in as, he'll remember me.
[Not unless he was in his early teens, which didn't seem likely.]
[And yes, Heather. The shivering pretty boy with a Magikarp arrived in happy rainbow Pokemans land after killing someone. :T]
I guess I'll just keep hoping, huh?

And-- oh.
Whoa.
.... sucks, man.
[She IS kind of wtf-ing over Sparkles here actually killing somebody, but-- well, hey. If he had a code-name, and was a soldier... she'll buy it. She knows that even the meekest of people are capable of being killers if they have to be. Her own father, for example.]
Hopefully he won't show up here, then... If he does, though... 'least you'll have people to watch your back.
[If there was one thing nobody here really seemed to take kindly to, it was folks randomly attacking others. Even total strangers would probably jump in to help.]

As long as Hal is okay. Where the hell is Snake during all of this, then? I'm amazed he's let Hal anywhere near Liquid in the first place. Didn't he have something to say about Liquid and Hal suddenly being all... buddy buddy? I mean, isn't that just completely insane to begin with?
[Man, Snake and Otacon had that epic bro handshake, and now suddenly Hal ditches Snake for Liquid? That's even more confusing than the talking fish.]
Yeah... I can deal with him if I have to, but I'd rather not see him again. Brings up bad memories, y'know?

Well, he's been around. Y'know, keeping an eye on things. [And yes, as Raiden could probably imagine, he was furious over it.] But I dunno. I met Hal and Liquid before I ever actually met Snake, so...
[If she knew the whole story, she'd probably find it confusing, too-- but. Well. There you go.]
... Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. ... I can think of a few people I don't wanna see in that regard, myself.
