[There's something that looks tasty and generously topped with whipped cream sitting out in a random hallway. A parfait of some kind, based on the glass it's in.]

[Two unusual Snakes are hiding out nearby, watching. Waiting.]

[So, who will be the first to fall to temptation ?]

[((The "parfait" is actually that nasty idek that Silver Snake cooked up the other day. When Snakes get bored, things like this happen. If you happen to be someone Silver or Snake likes, they might pop out of hiding to save you from the botched pancake mix, otherwise, they're going to laugh at your pain.))]

....

[That looked pretty tasty.]

.....

[No wait, she's seen that before, isn't it...]

2/4

[Oh shit. She gags and covers her mouth.]

This isn't what I had when I said "just leave it out"

[Ughh, what is she going to do about this? She can't just throw it away, that'll just make Silver suspicious. But she can't leave it like this, either...]

3/4

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

....

[No, not that. She's not going to do it. She has her whole life ahead of her. For the love of god, no.]

Shit

[Before anyone has a chance to react, she plugs her nose and drinks the whole thing in a few gulps.]

4/4

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

UGH!

[The noxious taste and the raw eggs were enough to make her sick and fall to the ground. This is one hit she's never taking for you again, Silver. =\ ]

[still-a-rookie.livejournal.com]

[Oops.]

[Snake really hadn't thought anyone would actually drink it all. Especially not when they seem to be one of Silver's alternates.]

[He quickly leaves his hiding spot to check on the girl who was apparently more of a rookie than he was.]

Hey, you okay?

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

[She knew fully well what it was, but she couldn't very well let anyone else drink it. That would just be cruel. It's a good thing she recovers so quickly.]

Hey... have you seen a bigger and older version of me anywhere? I need to talk to her.

[still-a-rookie.livejournal.com]

[But that's not the only glass of "parfait" they have...]

...Tell me you didn't drink that when you knew what it was.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

[Oh shit.]

I couldn't let anyone else drink it.

....

Don't tell me you had something to do with this.

[She expected better from a Snake, even a younger one.]

[still-a-rookie.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[At least he has the decency to look somewhat embarrassed.]

Maybe...

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Because that's a horrible thing to do to to people.

[She's staring daggers at you now.]

Don't tell me you let that woman talk you into doing this.

[still-a-rookie.livejournal.com]

It's just a prank.

[Snakes have a rarely-seen mean streak.]

[Snake frowns; really, this wasn't that big a deal considering what else happened in the nexus on a semi-regular basis.]

I suggested it.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

A prank? How old are you, 10?

[She knows he can be a bastard, but not that he's capable of being really damn immature.]

You what? Don't you know how dangerous it is to make people eat that stuff?

[It takes someone with truly no perspective to think a prank like this is bad in a place where murder happens every other day.]

[still-a-rookie.livejournal.com]

Twenty-four.

[His birthday was yesterday.]

Nobody's making anyone eat it. We're just watching to see who'd be stupid enough to eat something off the floor.

[Too bad she wasn't around for the eviscerated nine-year-old.]

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

And you're still pulling this shit?

You put it in a parfait glass. That's not "seeing who eats it."

[It was things like the mutilated child that made her avoid human contact for several months at a time.]

[still-a-rookie.livejournal.com]

What do you mean "still"?

[As if Snake was ever allowed to do shit like this at Perfect Soldier Boot Camp.]

It's still on the floor in a random, apparently empty hallway. In the Nexus.

[Really, with circumstances like that, whoever tries it deserves what they get.]

[merylgearsolid.livejournal.com]

... Huh. I guess it works after all.

You're not dead, right?

[]

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

[She's still too stunned to speak, but she's grabbing your ankle and muttering something. Yea, she'll be fine.]

[merylgearsolid.livejournal.com]

Hm?

[]

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Why in the hell would you try and inflict that on someone?

[Nevermind the fact that she drank it on purpose.]

[merylgearsolid.livejournal.com]

I figured it'd make a good way to stun an enemy. It's too impractical to take out on the battlefield, but apparently it's effective enough.

... Then again you actually drank the whole thing.

[]

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. [But in a stealth situation, that could be useful.]

I couldn't let anyone else drink it, could I?

[merylgearsolid.livejournal.com]

I figured anyone stupid enough to drink it would deserve it anyway.

Besides, we were watching right over there. Kid needs to come up with better traps though.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

You realize that the nexus leaves plenty of random treats around every day, right?

This seems a lot more like a prank then a trap, if you ask me.

[merylgearsolid.livejournal.com]

Who in their right mind would eat anything just sitting out on the floor?

[]

Depends on what it's going to do to your digestive system.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

I think... half of the people here.

[And you call yourself a video game protagonist.]

Hmm... if you put egg in it, or milk, or both, then probably a lot.
