[soul_mods]

Characters: Volunteers, Newcomers and OPEN for mingling!
Location: All Around Death City
Rating: Varies
Time: June 6th, All Day
Description: Welcome to Death City!



BREW's at it again. After powering up, giving energy readings on the night of the 5th that alerted Shibusen to new arrivals, they turn now to volunteers to assist in giving the newcomers the information and supplies they need.

Perhaps you're one of the ones who woke up in the Kishin Chamber on the morning of the 6th. Perhaps you live in Casualty Communal and were woken up by equipment transporting strange x-ray machines to rest in front of the building, prepared to scan the fresh meat and determine which are Meisters and which are Weapons.

The sun is laughing high in the sky as temperatures soar to 110 degrees F. The air wobbles in the distance, and many citizens are drinking plenty of iced tea and lemonade to cool down. One group of children has popped open a fire hydrant and are playing in the spraying water before the police arrive to give them trouble.

No doubt the new arrivals are confused... let's give them a warm welcome, shall we? But not too warm- stay hydrated and cool, everyone!

And new guys? Welcome to the desert.


[ooc: Newcomers! Simply tag in to any or all of the sections here and volunteers will pop right up to greet you ASAP! The last section is completely OPEN for newcomers, volunteers, or Guests all ready in Death City who want to come up and say hello. Have fun!]

[SNAKE IN.]

[Though, it's really more like....oh god Raiden this is not what I meant when I said make your own choices.]

Raiden. What the hell happened to you?

[sombrero]

[Cue: Snake regrets telling Raiden those things and wants to take it back.]

You really are Snake.

[There's no doubt about it now. ]

All sorts of things. I don't really want to get into detail because it would take up too much time.

Can't you be more specific?

[sneakthatshit]

You could start with why you look like Grey Fox.

Wait, skip that. I can probably get a good idea of it on my own. How about telling me why you're stumbling around.

[sombrero]

No, I'm not stumbling around. [CHECK OUT ALL OF HIS LIES. He just doesn't want to look bad in front of Snake.] I'm fine.

Relax. [Snake knows Raiden well enough to tell that he's bluffing.]

[sneakthatshit]

I am relaxed. And I'm the one who can walk on two feet properly. You're not helping anyone by hiding it, kid.

[sombrero]

[He sighs in annoyance and then FINALLY DECIDES TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF.]

Alright then, Snake. Have it your way. [Raiden is not impressed with this development.]

One week ago there was a mission in Tegucigalpa. It didn't exactly go that well. A lot of people fighting on the front lines sustained injuries. It wasn't just me. All that fighting wore me out.

Snake, there's important something you need to know.

[sneakthatshit]

Hn....

[War. War never changes.]

...I've got the feeling that there's a lot I need to know.

[sombrero]

That's how it is.

There's a lot you need to catch up on. More importantly, did you already hear about how BREW takes away abilities here?

That means no infinite ammo for you.

[sneakthatshit]

That just means I have to procure what I need in the field. Nostalgic but easy enough to do.

[sombrero]

With your experience you should be able to manage.

Snake. [Raiden just really wants Snake's attention for this next part!]


I'm sorry you got dragged into this. [Standing kind of sucks, so don't mind him while he just rests ON THE LEMONADE STAND.] Both of us. We can never leave the battlefield.

It'll be one fight after another. There's no way to break free from this cycle of violence.

[sneakthatshit]

[Long puff of smoke.]

Violence begets violence. That's the life of a soldier, apparently.

Hn.

Let's save who we can, Raiden. We'll talk about the philosophy later. All I see around here are a bunch of kids who are greener than you were. It's going to be hard work.

[sombrero]

Yeah...about that.

I don't want any one of them to end up how I did. It's going to be more than just "hard".

You should really quit smoking, by the way. [SUNNY TOLD YOU TO STOP!!]

[sneakthatshit]

We'll still get it done unless you think you can't do it.

[He'd be disappoint, kid.]

Why, because it's killing me? I'll die from a bullet before I die from smoking.

[sombrero]

I don't know if I can, but I'll try. [Raiden's pretty much just sulking over this.]

No, that's not the reason why.

It's because Sunny doesn't like it when you smoke.

[sneakthatshit]

I don't even know Sunny.

[Shit son, he just heard stories about Sunny and that he needs to save him....her.]

[sombrero]

[WE ARE NOT GOING THERE.]

Yeah? Well, I know your mom.

[sneakthatshit]

We need to get you back to a bed. You're going off the deep end.

[sombrero]

Don't you want to know who your mom is? Hm....

I think that would be a good idea as well. [Except not. Raiden needs to stop being sarcastic about this!!!]

I could use the beauty sleep.

[sneakthatshit]

[He'll help, come on Raiden. Arm over the shoulder.]

Just tell me where to take you.

[sombrero]

[SNAKE WHY! Raiden can take care of himself...but okay.]

Just go down that way and I'll tell you when to turn. [Nevermind. FORGET HE SAID THAT!!]

I didn't want it to end up this way. [This feels so wrong.]

No, stop. I'll be fine. You go figure out what you need to know about this world. I can't hold you back anymore, Snake.

[sneakthatshit]

Keep it down, kid. I don't leave behind friends.

[sombrero]

[SNAKE CALLED HIM A FRIEND. Raiden doesn't even know what to say anymore. ]

I won't make you change your mind then.

[sneakthatshit]

Remember that in the future when a friend tries to keep you from helping them.

[wow

so inspiration

snakeeateeeer

wow

best pals]

[sombrero]

Right, I will.

Snake.

[NOT FOR HONORRR

BUT FOR YOUUUU

clearly there is too much bro up in this place. ]

I just wish you could meet my son someday.

[sneakthatshit]

...you and Rose?

[brain break]
