liquidation | 001 | Stupid Won't-Die Bastard

[Who’s blond, angry, and ranting at his Pokegear? If you guessed ‘Liquid goddamn Snake’, you get a prize.]

I do not care who all of you are, or where I am, or how I have come to be here. I do not care if I have been spirited off to a strange world or if I am hallucinating though the latter seems much more likely than the former. Bloody Stinger missiles. Such mere details are irrelevant until I have gained the knowledge of one thing, and one thing only!

[dramatic pause]

The location of one man, the one man amongst the billions of wretches filling this miserable earth whose every breath is an affront to me. The light to my darkness, the flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood, the man who casts a shadow that stretches to the end of the world! The man who stands high and secure upon an indomitable pedestal, the missing parts of my genetic legacy, who stole the birthright that should be mine! I will not rest until I find him! I will tear apart the fabric of this universe if I must!

My brother! Solid Snake!

[Protip: the prize is a rant.]

Threaded | Flat

[Holy shit.]

What?

[It was all he could say, for a minute. This was too much even for Otacon to process all at once; first of all, he'd never expected to see Liquid again. That in itself should have made him happy--it did, but that was so overshadowed by everything else that it was hard to tell.]

[He was talking like that again, like the Liquid that Otacon remembered from ten years ago. And it didn't take more than a second to put two and two together. If it looks like a megalomaniac, sounds like a megalomaniac, and acts like a megalomaniac...]

...no way. Y-you're not seriously-

[Otacon had completely and without hesitation believed Liquid could have kicked the laws of reality in the teeth and changed fate. Maybe the ending wouldn't have been happy, but at least no one would have to die. It was tough to admit even now, but he'd liked that idea...that concept of a Shadow Moses that wasn't a complete catastrophe. But this was a harsh slap in the face and a reminder that nothing in the world could ever go that well.]

You at least...remember me, don't you?

[Otacon's voice faltered halfway through that sentence. Honestly, he knew he didn't need to ask. Even if Liquid did remember, this conversation was already doomed to go badly.]

[Like she could ever forget those grandiose rants.]

[There's a dull fuzz of static as she calls. No video... for the moment.]}

... Liquid?

Solid Ssssnake?

[He heard ranting and snakes, so this got his attention.]

I don’t believe I’ve heard of anyone with that name. What does thissss person look like?
