slowly looks at Route 29 / Victory Road

[thatwasours]

No.

Changing usernames to 'usedpayback' isn't funny, either. 

[sounds like someone needs a loving animal friend to help him get over his trauma. or a literal bloodthirsty hellhound that's determined to tear off his good arm. one or the other.]

You get used to it. Sort of like our own world but different.

[It was hard to explain really. Boss had only been on one game and that was aboard a spaceship.]

Last game I was in it was aboard a space ship.

[thatwasours]

...you're kidding.

A spaceship? One that was able to support permanent residents? Were they able to make every single resource fully sustainable from space with no ground support? Who foot the bill for this kind of project? Isn't there an issue with the lack of gravity having negative effects on the human physiology?

[nerd.]

[cardboard_boss]

No, I'm not kidding, Kaz. The spaceship was real. It was called The Moira.

[Interesting place since another version of Kaz was there, a Big Boss and an Ocelot. Not to mention Liquid and Solid Snake. Quite the family. Yet, he did feel rather awkward next to Big Boss.]

Yeah, they did all that. Ship was run by captains.

[thatwasours]

[deadpan, before he can stop himself--]

Yeah, ships tend to be.

[cardboard_boss]

More than one. Some say they weren't even human.

[Alien? Possibly. Anyway, he'd rather have his feet on firm ground this time.]

[thatwasours]

All right, that's a little more unusual.

Still, it's not like we've never seen things that aren't human.

[cardboard_boss]

Like the Skulls? Yeah.

[Good comparison but thankfully he hadn't seen anything of the kind aboard the ship. During his time in Diamond Dogs Snake had seen lots of strange things. Weird people and crazy creatures.]

[thatwasours]

And Quiet.

[he had to. just because he'd learned to tolerate her while she was around didn't mean he'd had to like it.]

[then again he'd tolerated Ocelot, so what else is new.]

[cardboard_boss]

At least she wasn't out to kill us. [She tried to assassinate you, Boss. Remember that?]

Now, she's on our side she won't try to kill me again. I know it.

[thatwasours]

You don't know--

[Kaz breathes in. Out. This is a dead-end argument and nothing they are ever going to agree on, because Quiet was an Outsider with Hostile Motives, as far as Kaz is concerned.]

Well, hopefully we'll be done with that at this place. Non-humans, I mean.

[cardboard_boss]

[He knows Kaz is right. The woman was mysterious beyond anything else, besides the fact she couldn't speak.]

Yeah. No zombie monsters chasing us. [Please? Because Boss is sick of being shot and blown up by Skulls.]

[thatwasours]

Hopefully, because I can't run very fast.

[the world's most bitter self-deprecating joke]
