+1 angry young man

[notover_yet]

You expect me to be impressed that you finally finished the game? Well, I'm not. Anyone could do such a thing. It's just a dumb game involving my pathetic excuse for a father, Big Boss. Hah, he's nothing to me! Nor are you. All adults are idiots.

My father will die because he is the one who caused me to be born. A failure. Why? It's all his fault and you know it. Don't look at me like that.

[Eli is angry as usual.]

I wish Mantis was here.

Hey now, it can't be that bad. I mean, you're here now.

[phantom_boss]

Don't know where you got your information, kid, but I'm not responsible for you being born. You wanna blame someone? Blame Zero.

[Lord knows Snake does.]

[notover_yet]

That's the thing, I shouldn't be here at all, not like this. I'm a clone and my twin brother gained all the dominant genes whilst I got all the recessive ones. A runt. That's me.

hi, dad ^-^

[notover_yet]

It doesn't matter where I got my information, father. All that matters is that you have to die for what you did. You pig!

[Eli will now be running towards you, Boss. Watch out, here comes the knife...]

:-D (Also forgive my lack of icons. One of these days I need to screencap a LP for some variety)

[phantom_boss]

[As Eli rushes him, Snake will almost effortlessly catch Eli's knife hand, both disarming him and pushing him hard enough to stumble.]

If what Ocelot told me was right, Zero was the one taking care of you before you went rogue. You probably never met the man personally, but Zero's a professional liar. Likes to manipulate people so he'll get his way.

[Snake regards the knife for a moment. It's a lot like his own, though smaller. Zero was nothing if not dedicated to making the "Legacy of Big Boss" live on, no matter how many lives he had to ruin to do it. He tosses the knife into the dirt at Eli's feet.]

He's done it to all of us, at different times.

Re: nice to meet you ^-^ I also RP a Kaz and Ocelot if you're interested :)

[notover_yet]

How do I know that you aren't the liar? Why did you create me if not to prove how great you are? You've just got a big ego and like to show off! [Was he angry for losing and having his knife thrown at him? Yes. He huffed in annoyance and snatched his knife from the dirt. Who the hell was Zero? Eli didn't really understand that.]

Who the hell is this Zero you keep blaming?

[garmentgoddess]

Well...so? All that matters is to be the best WE can be.

Are you part of the fission_mailed crowd? Almost every Metal Gear RPer I know is, lol

[phantom_boss]

Look, Eli, why would I be so insistent that you're not my kid, if I wanted to prove how great I am, hmm? Seems to me that you're tough, intelligent, and cunning. You're a hell of a soldier. If I was your father, you'd think I'd want the whole damn world to know it, right?

[Hand-chin. So Eli didn't even know who Zero was, or that he was the reason Eli had such a pronounced British accent. It figures, really. Zero probably used proxies of every sort to guide the kid, to mold him into the tiny killing machine he was now. Distilling all of Big Boss's traits into the coldest, and most ruthless killer he could.]

He was my commanding officer, a long time ago. He and I started the FOX Special Forces unit together, but after someone we both admired died, he and I drifted apart. He saw her last request one way, and I saw something different. He's been hell-bent on putting what he thinks was her last will into practice ever since.

Re: yeah I am ^-^

You're just saying that! [Eli took in Boss's words but was so angry most of them just flew over his head. His rage was making his blood boil and his breath was coming out in ragged pants. Damn Cipher and this Zero fool!]

Who died? [He threw his knife back and forwards between his left and right hands, whilst awaiting an answer.]

[notover_yet]

[This guy wasn't an adult so Eli wasn't that angry with him if he had been. He hates all adults and thinks they're pigs. When have they ever been there for him?]

I plan on doing the best I can it's just my father ruined my life.

I figured as much. I haven't been as active over there lately. The comm tends to move too slow.

[phantom_boss]

Your actions on Mother Base say otherwise. You fought harder for your own freedom, and the freedom of your men than I'd expect for someone your age. I may not agree with someone your age being a soldier in the first place, but I've had to admit there's no stopping you from doing what you know.

[While Venom didn't know the whole story, he knew enough, knew Big Boss's feelings on the subject well enough to fill in the gaps.]

She was a soldier. My mentor, in fact. Her name was The Boss. Probably the greatest soldier that ever lived, as much as people give me that title. She had this idea of a world without borders. A place where soldiers could lay down their guns and stop fighting. She betrayed me, defected to the Soviet Union so she could get her hands on the means to make her idea a reality. I had to kill her to finish my mission. You might've read about it. Operation Snake Eater.

[Venom's holding his stoneface as best he can, but even he is affected by The Boss's death. He can't give Eli full context of the past, but he's hoping even just telling him about it can give him some perspective on the rift between him and Zero.]

[garmentgoddess]

It happens. But they say that living well is the best revenge. And you wanna get revenge on him, right?

Re: yeah the guys have been busy on and off

[notover_yet]

[Eli didn't reply but instead just eyed up Boss with caution and apprehension. He didn't trust him and never could. What he just said most just flew over his head, due to the rage burning inside of him. Yet, he listened.]

You killed your own mentor? How did that make you feel?

That tends to happen in RP. I've only really gotten active again recently, time off of school

[phantom_boss]

[Venom's quiet for a long time, trying to figure out how to articulate his feelings.]

The day I killed The Boss, I killed part of myself, too. I could never take another order from the U.S. That's why I left.

Re: the guys are really nice over there though ^-^

[notover_yet]

Did you love her? This Boss woman? [Because Eli was getting that vibe from how Boss was explaining it.]
