A fine place this is.

I'd say I'm used to it, but honestly, the barracks I used to sleep in were still less of a hellhole even in wartime. Who has been here the longest? I have some questions for you.

Those who have been here a shorter time may answer as well, if you know the answers.

What sort of place is this? I am sure we have all received the same letter, but I can't help find it slightly odd.

How many people are in this place currently, and how many working on civilian defense are there?

And finally, is anyone here a doctor?

...Did you hit your head?

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

Recently? No. Have we met?

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

..Yes? Of course we have.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

You don't exactly look familiar.

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

[She frowns.]

Honestly, boss, this is not the time to joke around.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

[He narrowed his eyes at that, honestly clueless. When was the last time anyone had even called him that...Shadow Moses? It fired off all the 'not quite right' synapses in his brain, and suddenly Liquid had a very bad feeling about this.]

I am telling you I've never seen you before.

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

[And she sighs, believing him. Liquid isn't the sort to joke around, even if this doesn't make any sense.]

Of course. If there's a way to kidnap people from supposedly dead worlds, I suppose it makes sense that there's more than one of you.

[liquidouroboros]

Oh, wonderful. Now you're suggesting we have alternate universes to contend with, as if everything else wasn't enough of a headache on its own? I may as well not even be surprised anymore.

So who is it you're supposed to be, exactly?

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

Ocelot.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

...

What.

[Over five years of chasing the jackass around and he just shows up. As a woman.]

[Liquid really didn't have a word to describe what he was feeling right now.

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

[She raises a brow at that. There are a lot of reactions she would expect, but not this one.]

What?

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

Oh, so it's to be the innocently clueless act? We're just going to overlook the fact that you've tried to kill me twice?

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

[And now she's stunned and confused.]

Why on Earth would I try to kill you?

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

...I am not playing games today, Ocelot.

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

Neither am I.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

I've no desire to sit here analyzing your reasoning. Are you honestly going to look at me and say you didn't shoot me on Shadow Moses?

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

I never harmed you.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

And I have what reason to believe that?

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

[And now she's getting angry.]

Because you're--

I suppose you don't have any, do you?

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

...No, go on. I'm what?

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

[Very, very quietly. It's a little hard to admit since she never even told the Liquid she knew, though she knew he suspected.]

You're my son.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

...



Excuse me? I thought I heard you say something completely asinine on all possible levels.

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

You're a fool.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

And you're out of your mind.

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

Believe what you will.
