Remember Remember the 5th of November

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[Deep inside one of the various rooms of the Nexus is an Ocelot. This room might be somewhat familiar to certain members of the building, but to those without realization of the location would be greeted by a pleasant Eastern European environment. Beautiful cityscape, quaint stores and coffee shops, and a dark sky with a bright moon overhead. The night life of this particular city was indeed a breathtaking sight to witness. Lamps illuminated the scope of the location above as though softening the features of the luxirious surroundings. Usually, it was fairly quiet at this time, but there happened to be a lot of bustling of faceless bodies surrounding the streets and out by the water.]

[There was a chill in the air that night and the smell of gunpowder lingered in faint wisps. The aftermath of Halloween encouraged a more subtle evening ahead for the 5th of November celebrations. It wouldn't be long before the fireworks set off.]

[Ocelot was sat outside a café of a street corner. He leaned his arm on the small round table before him, a thick cigar held securely between gloved fingers. He could feel winter creeping up and decided to adorn his coat. The memories of this place, it was where he had been pulled from in his world. So much had happened by being in this world, this Nexus, it almost seemed an inevitability that he would never return home.]

[But no matter how many times he fought with that debate in his mind, he found himself not caring about the slim chances of returning to 2014. His life was perfect here. This was his home.]

[As that thought passed him, a bright pink flash of light sparked in the night sky. Ocelot smirked and raised his cup of hot chocolate to his lips, sipping the substance calmly.]


_{((ooc: Bonfire Night! Come and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells. There's plenty of stores open due to the event and open stalls with hot food ready to serve. You can go anywhere you like. Just don't fall in the water if you want to get a really good view of the fireworks.))}

Not much. [Ocelot you're insulting your future self here.] Smoking will be the death of you, old man. [He returns the smile; there's something strange about this man. Definitely strange but he can't help but smirk.]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

Feh.

[The "old man" breathed out a snort. The younger ones were always so cocky and full of themselves. He had no idea how EVA and Big Boss lived with his attitude.]

[He took a puff of his cigar, keeping his sharp gaze on Adam.]

On the prowl?

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

An Ocelot is always on the prowl not that it's any of your business.[Cool cigar there old!Adam. All the cool people smoke cigars. Adam hasn't acquired a taste for them yet(aka he chokes like a mofo).] Enjoying the sights? I didn't think this place had scenery like this but it looks like I was wrong.[For once.]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[Adam looks away dismissively.]

No, of course it's not.

[The older cat shifts in his seat to readjust his positioning. He reaches for his mug of hot chocolate this time and sips with pursed lips.]

It is pleasant, being out here. This building has everything you could possibly want should you desire it enough.

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

...Is that right? [Yeah you've got him thinking of horrible plans now.] I don't have to clap or anything stupid like that, do I? [|: He never watched Peter Pan of his own volition dammit, Para Medic made him!] It is nice.[Peers curiously(hurr he's a cat) at your drink.] What do you have there old man?

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

Not to my knowledge. But it would be amusing to witness you rubbing genie lamps for wishes.

[Oh yeah. Jane made him watch Aladdin, too.]

[Ocelot shoots his younger doppelganger a warning stare.]

The drinks are inside. If you want one, I suggest you fetch one for yourself like a good kitten.

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

As if I would do that. [He would get someone else to do it obviously. Glares right back.] Don't worry, I wouldn't sink so low as to steal an old man's drink.[Now stealing candy from babies is a different matter.] And don't call me a kitten. [He's a grown cat-I mean man. >:|]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[Adamska chuckled low into his mug.]

You may have your claws, but you are still a kitten compared to me.

[He rumbled deep in his chest, keeping his eyes fixed on the young man.] You have no idea who I am, do you?

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

I think most people are kittens compared to you. [HAW HAW UR OLD. Adam looked him up and down, searching for some kind of clue aside from the awesome fashion sense and well groomed mustache.] ...Don't say that you're me from the future because I won't believe it.

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[Ocelot pushed aside his mug and rose to his feet in a regal fashion. He strides up to Adam, standing toe-to-toe, nearly brushing noses.]

[He prods his cigar into the younger man's shoulder, burning it out. It appears Ocelot gets taller, as well as broader and more muscular with age.]

You should put aside your petty judgments and become a real man before the world eats you alive.

[He pockets his half-smoked cigar.] I am you. Disciplined, refined, sharper and far more skilled. Mature, yet deadly. Do not think to question me, boy.

Only angry icon I have. :'D

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

[...This old man is taller than he looks. |:] ! What the hell is your problem!? [That was his good shirt you piece of shit! He has to look up a bit to glare. He's not going to look away so easily.] I am a real man. If you really are me you should know that.[More like he knows how much of a little bastard you are at this age, Adam.] And what if I do? Why the hell should I believe you so easily? You don't think I haven't heard the same shit from everyone here? [He's this close to pushing you. It'd be a bad idea but Ocelot is kind of the king of in the middle of battle bad ideas. He's a liar by trade therefore everyone else must be lying too. Especially a man who says that he's an older Adam.]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

You're my problem. Just like every other young brat who thinks they can claim this place as their own. You are spoiled and need taking down a peg.

[Ocelot shows no signs of backing down. He meets that glare with his own intense gaze.]

[He smirks briefly. In a split second, Adam grabs the younger man in a tight CQC hold. He holds him firmly in his place, preventing him any chance of letting go.]

What will it take for you to realize I am you, Adamska? Your love of the .45 colt single action army? Or perhaps admiration of Big Boss? Being the son of The Boss, and a master of torture.

[He speaks near his ear in a low tone of voice.] _{Or you will be. I can demonstrate if you would like.}

edited for yayy linebreaks! XD;

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

! Get off of me! [He would go for his revolver but he can't reach it. This son of a bitch...Who the hell does he think he is!?]

...You know about The Boss?

[Well. That isn't exactly common knowledge. But still...Someone could find out if they put two and two together...couldn't they?(Other than BB) He wouldn't ever admit it of course but good at torturing didn't mean he could withstand it well himself. Not at this age, anyway.]

...What are you so angry about? That I don't believe you? Or that you don't like what you see? It must be hard seeing your younger self. Remembering all of your failures, all of the times you thought you had victory in your grasp only to have it slip through your fingers at the last second.

That's it, isn't it?

[Yeah he's feeling cockier now.]

It's okay. I had to go to sleep. <3

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[No one knows an Ocelot like another Ocelot. Especially one who has lived past those failures the whelp had bought back to the front of his mind. He was well aware that he had made mistakes but he had attempted to right his wrongs in the later years of his life. It had all been an elaborate plan to secure the freedom of Big Boss.]

Angry? No. I am not angry.

[His voice purrs.] You have your life ahead of you. I know more than you could possibly imagine.

Sleep is good. U__U

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

...You're right. I do. So why don't you tell me about it. It would ensure that our plans came to fruition, wouldn't it? If I knew what was coming I could plan for it accordingly. I asked an old man before but he wouldn't tell me.

[Ocelot you should know by now that trying to get information from yourself is like getting information from yourself. |: It doesn't work. XD]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[He finally releases Adam.]

You have no reason to know of what's to come. You know too much already at your tender age. Being in this Nexus, there is little reason to know of the future. We aren't returning to our worlds. Live life however you please instead.

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

Stop treating me like a kid! I'm not staying here forever I have things to do. Tell me what happens. [He's not about to let this go. He has plans to form and Xanatos Roulette to play.]

[He's starts pacing, spurs jingling as usual with a frown.] I can't just sit around doing nothing-if you are me you should know that better than anyone. They would miss me. Need me even.

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[Adam breathes through his nose.]

It would take far too long to explain your future. If you wish to know badly enough, find yourself a computer and research the database. That will give you the intel you require.

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

[Younger selves are just infuriating, aren't they oldcelot? XD]

How do I know I can trust the database? I'm not wasting my time on something that might not be true. At least tell me if I'm successful. If I didn't call in all my favours for nothing.

[Naturally he means his I'm going to fuck over Zero and help John plan because there's no way he could have thought of the whole nanomachine/hynotherapy thing so early. ...Or COULD he have? Ohhoho]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

The database is correct. If there is no one else in this place you can trust, at least trust yourself. I am not going to lie for something so petty.

... You are successful.

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

The person I would trust the least is myself. [Adam knows that he's a backstabbing liar.]

[Smug Adam is smug as hell. You can tell because he's wearing a self satisfied smirk and has stopped his annoying pacing. He'd already gotten Old!John to tell him but it's always nice to hear.] As if I wouldn't be. ...And John?

[Now THAT he hadn't been told. And it'd been bugging him since then.]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

I've no reason to lie to myself. Not at my age. My mission is over, Adamska.

I die before I have a chance to rekindle whatever was left of our partnership. So does EVA.

But in this building, John is mine. I am doing what I can to secure our relationship and work through the patches.

[There's a slight softness to his voice, something that was never heard from Ocelot before now. He truly did love that man, even through their ups and downs, their battles and turmoils, their losses. Throughout it all, they had each other. It was all the old codger had left to hold on to.]

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

...Maybe not. [Damn he was persuasive! No wonder people believed what he said.]

What?! [Well, he had expected and been prepared in some capacity for death but he didn't want to die before he and John......Were..."rivals" again!]

You son of a bitch! How could you die!? That's bullshit! [What the hell is this!? His mustache is twitching angrily.] What do you mean he's yours? ...Don't tell me that you think I'm...Like that too!

[Ocelot, you ARE "like that" you just don't realize it. |: Also mun has totally read all threads with Oldcelot and OldBB. XD;]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

You won't understand why we had to die until you read that database.

[Adam shot his counterpart a look. A simple look.]

[And then he burst into laughter.] I can't speak for others here, but there are two people I would willingly fall into bed with. John is one of them, and he happens to be the man I love.

[He is not going to admit that he has slept with EVA before. Not to another Ocelot. Most of them hated her, and he couldn't understand why. She was an amazing woman and had been his support and partner through the tougher years of his life.]

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

Fine. I'll read it. [:T Best to get all the information he could.]

I-...It's not like that! We're just rivals! I don't have any kind of feelings like that for another man! [Liar.] Why are all of me here with men!?

[This Ocelot is kind of meh on EVAs. XD He's yet to meet one but his EVA is his competition. F-For John's totally not gay attention of course...]
