A Family Reunion

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

[There's a small robot zooming around looking for a particularly smily Solid Snake. Otacon has an offer to give him, after all. After much persuasion, Liquid had reluctantly agreed to it. While Liquid and Sunny wandered the house, he focused on sending the tiny robot off in search of the other man. He had to be somewhere.]

! Target sighted. Initiating contact.

[Perhaps Solid would notice the soft voice. Otacon didn't mind if he did. Instead, he simply skidded the robot forwards, circling it around Solid's feet quickly before doing a little dance in front of him. The video screen opened to reveal Otacon's rather nervous face.]

Snake. I have something for you.

I can handle it. It's just cooking, after all.

[He spoke in a short and somewhat impatient tone, focusing more on the open cookbook on the counter and the collection of god-knows-what currently on the stove.]

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

[Solid wanders in and glances at the pan on the stove.]

...Chicken? [He thinks, anyway. Maybe.]

Mind if I grab something from the fridge?

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to be.

Whatever, do what you want.

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

[That is not chicken. Solid is quite sure chicken is not supposed to be that consistency.]

Thanks.

[He rummages through the icebox, noting that it's a standard nexus fridge with food appearing as desired. Which is why he finds a can of his preferred brand of beer hidden in the back. He shuts the door and opens the can happily.]

So, how have things been on your side of nexus?

[Small talk was so much easier with a little help.]

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[SHUT UP YES IT IS]

Bloody fantastic. Are you just going to pester me now?

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

[JUST BECAUSE IT MIGHT TASTE LIKE CHICKEN...]

Hn...I suppose not.

[Drinks.]

I was hoping to make myself useful. I'm not sure what the SOP is for this kind of thing...

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[SHUT UP BROTHER WHAT DO YOU KNOW]

It's just following instructions. I can handle that. Unless perfect bloody Solid goddamn Snake wants to give it a try and prove me to be ever the inferior one.

[...yeah, he's getting annoyed.]

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

[I KNOW CHICKEN ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE SPONGY.]

[He gives Liquid a look]

I'm not perfect and I don't understand why you would think so.

[He smiles.]

And if Sunshine's anything to go by, you Brothers don't like to play by the book. You guys decide you know better than someone else in nearly all other aspects of your life, it probably translates into your cooking as well.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

...brother, in about five minutes I will start throwing things at you. And I don't know when or if I'll stop.

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

The chicken's on fire...

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Yes. I NOTICED.

1/2

[Solid reaches over, nudging his brother out of the way, and turns the burner off before grabbing a handy box of baking soda that Hal had probably left out for just such an occasion. He takes care of the fire before turning back to the blond.]

...

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

You're stressed, Brother.

[Liquid may find himself being pushed out of the kitchen.]

Go sit and talk with your husband and Sunny; I'll clean up and take care of things here~

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[OH NO YOU FUCKING DID NOT]

[HAVE A COOKBOOK LOBBED AT YOUR HEAD]

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

[DODGES. MASTER MILLER TAUGHT HIM HOW TO AVOID INCOMING COOKBOOKS THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR.]

[MANHANDLES LIQUID OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN AND GIVES HIM TO HAL.]

[To Hal.] Don't worry; I'll take care of things~

[To James.] Calm down. You should really watch your blood pressure, Brother...Master Miller would probably recommend taking more salt out of your diet~

[Returns to the kitchen.]

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Don't patronize me, you smiling little bastard, I will end you!

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

[No you won't, because suddenly, your arms are pinned to your side by a hug from behind by an Otacon that's trying hard not to laugh.]

Calm down, love.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

I AM VERY GODDAMNED CALM.

[RAAAAAAGE]

[stealthygenius.livejournal.com]

[Trying to hack the burned chicken(?) off of the pan. Eventually puts it in the sink to soak and hunts around the cupboards for a skillet. This Solid Snake can cook. Nothing fancy, but Master had made sure he could cook one type of dish (http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/quick-chicken-curry-10000001046903/index.html), at the very least.]

[He's even making it heart-healthy~]

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

You are not calm in the slightest, love, now come on. Sit down on the couch with me.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

...hmph. Who does that bastard think he is?

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

It was probably for the best, love. Come on.

[He tugged him over to the couch.]

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Tch. It wouldn't have caught fire if he wasn't irritating me.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

...it caught fire?

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Just a little.
