[Some people may take the appearance of a strange green thing floating aimlessly into their path as a threat. Especially when it happens in their own home. Snake is one of them

BROTHER, DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON THAT!

[Liquid is not impressed, brother. Not impressed at all.]

I got it from an old man who tamed it. Funny fellow. Had a whole bunch of them he wanted to get rid of. So I said I'd take one of them.

[Volume, Liquid. Good thing Snake isn't the jumpy type. He hasn't touched it. Hasn't even made a threatening move besides pointing his gun at it. Yet.]

...

[That is, quite possibly, one of the most stupid things he's ever heard.]

You took it?

Video

[ysobritish]

That's right. I offered to take one, because he couldn't keep them and was looking for homes for them.

They're sweet things, really, when they're tame. Be nice. Just keep it out of bright lights and don't give it water. I'm feeding it myself. They're useful, too. Apparently they can heal people.

[That's...a Heartless. In the daytime. Riku scowls.]

It's a Heartless. Where are you? I'll come get rid of it.

What's a heartless?

voice

[walkthedawn]

It's a creature from my world. When someone loses their heart, they turn into one of those things. It wants to take other hearts.

Re: voice

[makes_asteroids]

So it's dangerous.

What's to be done about it?

[dresden4hire]

It's a black thing with a green coat and silly hat? Which makes me think magic of some sort.

[formerfoxhound]

[Flatly.] Magic.

[He's heard that before. Despite having had a demonstration or two by now, it's still a little hard to swallow.]

[dresden4hire]

Yes, if something unusual has a silly hat and coat, magic is usually behind it.

[formerfoxhound]

...

[It says a lot about the current state of Snake's life that he can't quite decide whether he's supposed to take that seriously or not.]

You know from experience, huh?

voice.

[payingthepiper]

I've... seen those in the nighttime-- has it done anything to you?

voice.

[formerfoxhound]

Not really.

[There's a low growling sound over the feed. Apparently the thing has moved on to harassing his dog.]

It's annoying.

voice.

[payingthepiper]

- Is it growling?

voice.

[formerfoxhound]

...is it? Hn.

[Belatedly, he puts two and two together. He grunts in annoyance and throws something heavy at the heartless. Possibly a boot. (Which hits the wall with a thud as the Requiem dodges and laps the room for good measure.)]

You said you've seen them before?

;video

[batmanmecha]

Hey! I got one of those things from an old man. They're not dangerous or nothin'. Hell, he said they heal people.

;video

[formerfoxhound]

[Just like Liquid did.]

So I've heard. Can't imagine why someone would just give something like that up.

[Snake's default setting nowadays is "suspicious bastard." He's got Otacon for boundless optimism. (At least, he used to.)]

;video

[batmanmecha]

He said he was too old to take care of so many. Makes sense to me.

;video

[formerfoxhound]

Think so, huh? Still sounds awfully generous to me.

[He's skeptical, yeah. But if it could "magically" heal people, it could be in better places than his living room. He scowls up at the Green Requiem as it floats overhead.]
