Remember Remember the 5th of November

[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.))}

[Solidus gasps and flails for a moment before recognizing the man's voice.]

H-Hey! How did you-?!

[He quiets himself in order to answer the question.]

He's around, I think. Somewhere in the nexus.

Then explain why you are wandering around by yourself in Eastern Europe. You do realize how large this city is, do you not?

[worldpresident.livejournal.com]

I wasn't alone; I was following you.

[He pouts a little.]

[Confidently] It's just a room, isn't it? I'd find my way out eventually.

[Adam allows him to go free.]

Go, then. Find your way back.

[Maybe not so confident now, but he's not going to admit it.]

[He points down the alleyway, trying to appear in control.]

The exit's this way.

It is?

[And Adam is happy to completely mess with the child's mind.]

[worldpresident.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[Maybe? He thinks he'd come from that direction, now he's not so sure. Solidus tries to subtly glance at Ocelot's face, looking for signs of whether he was correct or not.]

[Ocelot's quite happy to stand right in the middle of the ally. He's giving George the benefit of the doubt right now.]

[worldpresident.livejournal.com]

[He nibbles worriedly at his lip before making himself stop. He doesn't want to show weakness at a time like this, after all!]

[Boldly, he marches forward, following his gut instincts.]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

[Too bad that's a wall George is about to walk into.]

[worldpresident.livejournal.com]

[He stops just in time and flushes red in humiliation.]

...

[Solidus turns and heads down a side alley, as if he'd meant to do that all along.]
