Look, I've said this before and I'll say it again-- are you sure this is a good idea?

Not to be a downer, but you're working with incomplete information here. Fact is, Snake and I have done and seen a lot over the years, and you need to play catch-up before you're qualified to take me anywhere. The picture you have of me? It's incomplete. So stop trying.

[he lets out a slow breath through his nose]

No, I'm not putting you off, hoping you'll pick somebody else by the time you finish the series. Although, if I was, it might have to do with your twisted sense of humor when it comes to naming things like accounts. Or, you know, the reputation you have of 'putting your characters through the meat grinder'. Your words, not mine!

T-they don't tend to t-t-think these things t-through, Uncle Hal.

I hope they did in your case!

Yours is at least taking care of you, right? Three square meals a day-- snacks are not meals, and remember, healthy-- making sure you're keeping up with your schoolwork, not letting you get into too much trouble...

[pause]

What I mean to say is, you're doing all right, Sunny? This person's treating you well?

[Sunny kind of giggles]

I-isn't it you who f-forgets to eat? S-she treats me well, t-though. Even a few years ago w-when I was in a horror house, s-she made sure I met lots of pe-people who would take c-care of me.

[he opens his mouth to protest but... she kind of has him there, which is exactly why he is so adamant about her nutrition in the first place.]

Well, you're still growing! It's important for you to have a balanced diet! Us adults, we need to watch our calorie intake.

But I'm glad to hear it. Even if I don't like the idea of you ending up in a place like that, at least she kept you safe.

L-liar. S-snake tries to say he has to s-smoke for calories, and it's a l-lie. [She knows you two, don't try to pull a fast one] B-but yeah, I had lots of fr-friends there! T-though I didn't like the doctors...

[seriously, snake? seriously? after a moment though, he lets that go and smiles at Sunny.]

All riiight, I forget to eat sometimes. It'd a bad habit, and I don't want you to have it, especially while you're still growing. Understand?

[then just as quickly, he's dead serious.]

What kind of doctors were they?

[She smiles, having won that argument; who is really the adult here, Hal? Then, a frown.]

D-don't know. B-but they were weird. T-though really it was just o-one doctor, b-but there were the-these things that made sure w-we went to the d-doctor...

[She's going to stop there, because if she starts, well, she'll have all sorts of bad memories. The sad thing is, her mun would take her back if she could figure out how to get her into the place and how many memories are there or lost]

O-oh but I d-did have Metal! A-and Ben and M-Maya protected me!

[a long pause. what he would give for you to have not gone through a lot of things, sunny.]

...was it bad?

I'm sorry. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

J-just that time. M-mostly everyone was n-nice. I j-just didn't like being l-locked in a r-room. B-but that's why i-it was good Ben and M-Maya were there. They t-tried to calm me d-down.

[That and the kids totally revolted, but hey...]

I-is your mun p-planning to take you s-somewhere?

...they sound like good people. [he forces a little bit of a smile]

And... chances are, no. Commitment and him have a bad history, I think.

Mm! [She nods, apparently happy to have ended up getting to meet people her own age that time.] And it's p-probably g-good he won't t-take you anywhere. I-it's never good when they do.

So I've heard.

Have you been a lot of different places, Sunny?

T-two only. S-she had to "r-retire" from p-playing for a w-while.

Got busy, huh? Life can be like that.

What about you? Are you going anywhere?

Y-yeah. S-school and work.

N-no. S-she's got to review m-my voice better to play m-me and d-doesn't know where I'd even g-go.

Good! Tell her to do well in school. You too, you know!

As for voice, you sound fine to me. But where to go, can't help you there. Just try to end up someplace safe, all right?

I w-will. S-she doesn't want to b-be too mean to me, s-so it's good.

Good.

[a smile]

I'm sure you'll be fine, then.

Mm!

A mun's favorite thing aside from torturing us is making up ridiculous usernames.

Yeah, I can see that.

Is it too much to hope that you haven't been through anything awful recently?

I haven't. Thanks to my mun breaking things off from her long time RP partner, I've been left alone for the most part. I enjoy the quiet time.

... She still needs to finish playing MGS4 as well.

Good to hear-- on your end, at least. As for the other one, I'll.... I'll send my condolences, from both of us on this end. ~~Talking in pluralities like this is nothing short of a linguistic backflip.~~

But that's pretty much the situation here, as far as games go. I wish I could say the idea of being in a game like that affected me, but since VR training's come and gone, it's not exactly a new feeling.

It had been a long time coming. She's been pensive about it but otherwise is fine.

[VR Training... Crazy that everything is almost virtual nowadays. Despite what's happened to him so far, he still finds it crazy how much technology has progressed in such a short amount of time.]

And just a warning: The more you complain to your mun, the more they want to torment you.

[privately, he doesn't think that's too much different from how Snake operates half the time.]

I'll remember that. No sense shooting myself in the foot if I can avoid it.

Any other... helpful tips? I'm all ears.

Get used to being put in uncomfortable situations.

To what degree more than usual?

Depends on what your mun likes. Mine is partial to smut despite it being impossible for me like this and my lack of interest in such activities.

You're not actually...?

[wow, otacon. sensitive. he berates himself internally for that one (and the speculative mental images, he is an engineer, how would that work), then starts again.]

E-either way, I'm getting that mine's more the type to tell anyone who will listen about my porn tastes in great length and detail. Then get a laugh out of it, like the embarrassment isn't enough already.

[trying to reclaim his sexuality after what happened to him + shut in otaku = hilariously kinky nerd who's still terrified of actually touching other people but will spank it to monster tentacle vore rape without batting an eyelash.]

But, there's no plans to force me into sexual situations against my will. At least, as far as I can ascertain with the data I have. As for violence, that's... considerably less certain.

[he got no dick, Otacon. so no more testosterone aside from what his brain might create. It sucks because he remembers the sensations but it does nothing for him.

But it's the age of technology and animu. He isn't surprised in the least that Otacon would jerk off to hentai. The old him might make a snide remark or tease him, but this version could care less. If it's what makes him happy, whatever. As long as it isn't hurting anyone else.]

I'm familiar with those scenarios. Mine seems to enjoy having me on the verge of death and being nursed back to health.

~~[Because you get your ass beat in every fight, Raiden. y u suck so much]~~

...well, that can't be much fun.

[an awkward pause]

For what it's worth, if I found you like that I'd do whatever I could to help you, but... I'm not really the cute nurse type.

[he just assumes it's that kind of rehabilitation]

That doesn't matter to me. You know your way around machines and you've helped me before. I trust you.

I'm glad. And, you know, likewise. I owe you a lot.

Hey, if you ever get in too deep, I'm just a call away, all right? Like it or not, we're all in this together. Don't just go charging off on your own unless you're sure you can handle it.

[He smiles a bit and nods]

Right... I'll keep that in mind.

It is an accurate account name, Otacon.

[ Gives a half smile. ] Hard to believe that's how we met, huh?

Oh come on, anyone would've done the same in a situation like that. Let it go, already.

It is a little strange looking back, though. We really were different people then, if you think about it. You doing the whole... 'stoic lone wolf' thing, me not being able to stand up to anybody or ask the questions that really mattered.

[tact: not one of otacon's strong points.]

We've really changed. Or at least, I think I have.

You have changed, but not too much.

Time may have tempered us, but your heart is still in the right place. It's better that way.

[ He gives a bit of a grin. ] You know, I was tortured by Ocelot back on Moses; electrocuted me a lot, and I don't think I pissed myself then either. I guess we can't all have dry pants all the time. [ Hheh. ]
