[oo8; Take in the extent of my sin]

[mr_snake_man]

[there is a brief crackle of static, and then a few minutes of silence, broken only by the sound of birds and wind through leaves.  Then there is a very soft hiss, and a soft, indulgent laugh]

My, my, it's starting to get too quiet around here, I think.

[cuts off after another hiss]

...Snakes?

[mr_snake_man]

Aren't you perceptive?

[capnteebee]

Ah, well, I wouldn't be myself if I was not.

Are you a fan of them, my friend?

[mr_snake_man]

One could say that!

[imnotamonster]

What are you planning?

[mr_snake_man]

Aa, that would be telling, wouldn't it?

[kenpo_kitty]

I think there's a snake near you... be careful!

[mr_snake_man]

Why should I fear a snake? They are harmless to me.

[kenpo_kitty]

They... are? Are you some kind of snake charmer?

[mr_snake_man]

Snake charmers are charlatans who perform for a paltry few cents tossed in their hats at a street fair. I am something much more.

Why? Do snakes scare you?

[7bladesword]

Are there snakes around you, or are you the one making that sound?

[mr_snake_man]

Do humans hiss as snakes do?

[7bladesword]

Sometimes, yeah!

[mr_snake_man]

Then I do wonder what humans you've been hanging about.

[chained_dog]

You ever think anyone prefers it?

[mr_snake_man]

Those who are easily entertained, perhaps.

[chained_dog]

Hn. What's that noise, anyway?

[mr_snake_man]

What noise?
