eventually heading to towerofanimus

[liquidouroboros]

Must we do this again? I haven't the time to play along with your childish little games. Least of all when they end in failure, as our last expedition seems to have spiraled into.

I know you realize I have better things to do than while away the hours in some hellish tower. Then again, I also know you could hardly care less. This is an exercise of Sisyphean proportions, but if you think I will quietly accept such madness you should know better.

Philanthropy has work to do, I have work to do, and Otacon will never let me hear the end of it if I simply vanish now-

-...what do you mean, 'you won't need to worry about that'?

[DOUBLE FACEPALM]

...Never mind.

[proverbialdisaster]

...? Is something wrong, Liquid?

[liquidouroboros]

Nothing. Nothing at all, really.

[proverbialdisaster]

Well, if that's what you say, I'll believe you.

[liquidouroboros]

We really do need to work on your understanding of basic proverbs.

[proverbialdisaster]

Hey, I understand the proverbs just fine! Although if it'll get you to stick around more, I'll bite.

[liquidouroboros]

Maybe I should be flattered.

[proverbialdisaster]

Aren't you usually?

[liquidouroboros]

...A fair point.

[proverbialdisaster]

But I feel happier knowing you're at least getting out. Even if it's dangerous.

[liquidouroboros]

When is anything I do not dangerous?

[proverbialdisaster]

...I guess that is kind of true. You could probably get into danger just by taking the bus.

[liquidouroboros]

I admit that would not surprise me at this point.

[proverbialdisaster]

Just imagine it. You decide it's gotta be safer to take the bus, but suddenly, ninjas decide to take the bus hostage.

[liquidouroboros]

Oh, that's just what I need. More ninjas.

And if I walk, it'll probably be a roving gang of murderous unicyclists or something equally absurd.

[proverbialdisaster]

Maybe even clowns on unicycles.

[liquidouroboros]

Be careful, you might have just predicted the new quirky miniboss squad for Rising.

[proverbialdisaster]

Hah, I think even they'd balk at that. Then again, we did have Fatman and the Cobra Unit.

[liquidouroboros]

And my brother the robot-tentacle-combat-suit-rocket-booster-wearing-dual-wielding-President.

I wouldn't put anything past them. And what comes after 'revengeance'? Metal Gear Rising 2: The Reckonengeanceing?

[proverbialdisaster]

Hah! Maybe. Or maybe it'll be more like "Metal Gear Raiden: The Revengeanced Revenges".

[liquidouroboros]

Were I ever the main character, I would have just let him blow himself up. I'd be a bloody hero to the entire fanbase.

[proverbialdisaster]

Hey, that's just cruel. He's a good kid, you know? Besides, then you'd never have had MGS4. It'd be a time paradox.

[presidentacles]

At least he has a game to mess up.

He tried, at least.

[liquidouroboros]

Well, speak of the devil.

[DID SOMEONE CALL FOR A CLOWN ON A UNICYCLE]

[LOOK WHO'S CYCLING IN]

[...ok, Kefka's not a clown per se, but it's the principle of the thing.]

I am the Laughing Pain Fish! I am here to bring revengeance to all of you! Wohohohho!

[stop that, kefka]
