Fifth Mission

[need_a_smoke]

[Snake's rapid aging genetics, after ten years, have caused him to sound and look much much much older than he should be. Right now, he looks and sounds about sixty years old. He's pretty freaked out, as he doesn't really know why this happened since he's got no way to find out in Mayfield, but he's keeping that to himself. He's kind of assuming

... if you don't mind me asking... how did you end up aging so fast?

Y-you don't have to answer if you want, it's just been kind of bugging me...

[stop_it_tewi]

Don't worry. I'll be over soon.

*she's flying over, with a pair of empty syringes and the other things you need to properly draw blood. Also, a paper bag with some taiyaki. You soon have a knocking on your door*

[A bit of grunting is heard behind the door before Snake opens it, leaving it open and simply walking back to his comfy chair and sitting down.]

Let's get it over with.

[stop_it_tewi]

I brought some taiyaki with me, too. I'm not sure if you like that kind of thing, but...

*she starts prepping Snake's arm for blood drawing*

[Snake makes an unreadable noise.]

Usually don't like that Japanese stuff, but I've never had that before.

[Snake gets comfortable...realizing he probably shouldn't light up while she's pulling blood, so he decides against it.]

[stop_it_tewi]

Well, give it a try. You might like it.

*drawing some blood with both syringes, before carefully putting them away in a pouch*

There, all done.

[Snake eats a bit of the Taiyaki, grunting in approval.]

Not bad.

Just don't do anything weird with that...and I'm not gonna be too big on taking any injections either.

[stop_it_tewi]

Don't worry, it's just for analysis purposes.

[need_a_smoke]

That's usually what they tell me.

[stop_it_tewi]

... w-well, really, that's... all it's for. After ten years, don't you trust me at all?

[need_a_smoke]

I've never really been in the business of trusting people.

But, doctors make me more nervous than anything else.

[stop_it_tewi]

... ah...

... w-well... I guess I should leave you alone, then...

I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll let you know what Master finds out.

[need_a_smoke]

Don't take it so hard, kid.

And thanks for the food...'s pretty good.
