So I heard you wanted more villains

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

My comrades... I didn't do right by you all...

[Viper had lost. He had lost. The man who had survived the betrayal of FOXHOUND through sheer force of will alone, was dying. He had never been afraid of death, no, but he always thought at the very least when he finally joined his comrades he would be satisfied, his revenge seen through.]

[Perhaps the most infuriating thing was whom he had lost to. Snake. The man he had vowed to surpass. The man who had single-handedly taken down the surviving members of Black Chamber. After two years of hatred festering, demanding vengeance, and still he was denied.]

[Laying face down on the floor of Metal Gear's hanger, he clenched his right fist. He knew, this time, even his rage would not keep him alive. All he could do now is wait for the end.]

[When the end never came, Viper opened his eyes again. Instead of the dirty hanger floor, he was now laying on an abnormally clean white tile flooring. Bracing himself with his left prosthetic arm, he pushed himself up to his knees, staring at the change of scenery. More shocking than that was his body, the gunshot wounds were healed, all evidence of his battle with Snake gone.]

[Was this the afterlife?]


[Black Arts Viper from Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel. TL;DR is in his profile.]

Could not pass this up, i'm sorry

[Hello Viper, meet the face of the man who killed you. The face that is attached to a completely naked body sitting in front of you and sniffing your face.]

Hnn....

fffffffff

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

[Oh god what]

Snake...

[...............]

What in the hell are you doing?

[stealth-puppy.livejournal.com]

[Stealth has no idea what hell is and he doesn't think he's in it. This is the Nexus.]

Nehsus.

I'm jus' saying herro. Need help?

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

[Viper just stares.]

[.....Maybe this is hell.]

I don't need help. Especially not from you.

/o/

[formerfoxhound.livejournal.com]

[...In a place like this, people picking themselves up in the middle of the hall...isn't actually too uncommon. It's cause enough to be cautious, but Snake doesn't have a reason not to lend this guy a (metaphorical) hand. Yet.]

[He stops several feet away and looks the newcomer over appraisingly.]

...so what the hell happened to you?

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

[Viper growled as he saw the familiar face. Did you just age in the last three seconds?]

Don't play dumb, Snake.

[He looked at their surroundings. If it wasn't the hanger then...]

Why did you bring me here?

[formerfoxhound.livejournal.com]

[...sort of. :|a]

...hm? Wasn't me.

[He can, at least, tell that wasn't exactly a friendly growl. Too late to back out now. Better to stand his ground and find out what's going on.]

Don't think I know you.

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

Isn't your woman waiting for you?

[Seeing that he wasn't dying, Viper pushed himself up to his feet, stumbling a little. It seems his body wasn't completely back to normal.]

What's your game, Snake?

[jailbat.livejournal.com]

[Vamp stares at the man on the floor for only a second, then promptly sits down on his lower back.]

Why hello there~

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

[Vipers eyebrows narrowed as someone sat on his back. Adding insult to injury?]

Get off of me-

[It was a woman's voice... it didn't sound like the one Snake had been with though.]

[jailbat.livejournal.com]

How about... no?

[And now she's leaning down, and lying against him.]

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

I'm not in the mood to be toyed with, little girl.

[Viper puts his hands on the ground, pushing himself off. Vamp's either got to fall off or hold on.]

[asdfgddamnyounexus.]

Remove your hands this instant or I will do it for you.

[likeavamp.livejournal.com]

[The man is not deterred.]

[He does get his knife out though, as a precaution.]

[Can you really blame him, Viper? You were on your knees in a hallway. What was a sexually deviant terrorist supposed to think?]

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

[Well if you want to play that way.]

[Viper is going to forcibly pry your hand off of him. A nice thing about his prosthetic arm was it was stronger than his normal arm which was pretty strong on it's own.]

[compulsive-owl.livejournal.com]

[ Something was different and he couldn't quite place it. Like a new beginning-- A breath of fresh air when one could only taste the smog.

Hands pressed against walls, fingertips slowly creeping to the edge. He could see a new target thrown out of the normal into a world so obtuse, but unlike many who have been in that same spot, this man was familiar... Viper.

He had seen several in his existence here, but never one who actually stayed.]

Commander~

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

[Despite his surprise, Viper only allowed his eyes to widen minutely when he heard that voice. It was unmistakable. Although, after meeting a deranged, naked Snake, he wasn't particularly surprised to see other familiar faces.]

[He turned, looking at his subordinate. Despite being glad to see one of his fellow members of Black Chamber, his face was stoic and pissed-off-looking as ever.]

Owl.

[compulsive-owl.livejournal.com]

Discerning, isn't it?

[ He hesitates for a moment before pushing himself away from the wall. Both arms falling idly to his sides.

The momentary surprise doesn't go unnoticed-- He was certainly a new one. ]

[marionette-owl.livejournal.com]

Boss...

[The man dragged his feet, walking up to his commander, Osan and Koharu at his heels.]

What is this place?

[This wasn't what death was supposed to be...]

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

Owl.

[The second one he had encountered. And this one didn't sound like he knew much more of what was going on than Viper did.]

So you've been brought here too.

[marionette-owl.livejournal.com]

[The red head nodded, looking down at his body. There's plenty of dried bloodstains from the 11 bullets Snake had shot into him but none of its fresh. The new location had healed him - or so Owl concluded.]

Yes. Wherever the hell this is.

[He coughed up some excess blood into his hand, frowned at it, then wiped the blood onto the nearby wall.]

Where's Snake?

[Where's Laura? Where's Laura? ... I want Laura... I need Laura...]

[razr-nanos.livejournal.com]

Hmmm~ Quite a position you have yourself in. [Vamp circled around him, a predatory smile playing on her lips]

[needs-a-hand.livejournal.com]

[Viper looked up from his position on the floor, pushing himself up to his feet.]

Perhaps you would be interested in being more useful than the others I have run into today.

[razr-nanos.livejournal.com]

No one has helped you? Poor, poor boy...

[She thinks he looks tasty. Is that close?]
