[She wasn't upset that she was on the no go list for the wedding. Not really. This meant lots of people on the "aren't invited" list would be out and about while the wedding was going on. And this meant getting the information she needed. Naomi sipped from a glass of wine at some random bar she had stumbled into, hoping people would show up for a drink and would be willing to talk.]

((For those not going to the wedding or whoever wants a drink.))

[Snake had seen the fliers. He knew that a version of Liquid and Otacon were getting married. The thought, and the sheer possibility of that even happening went over his head entirely. He couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, considering his own previous relationship with his Otacon. He decided against showing up, considering he didn't know those two in particular, and he knew he wouldn't be a welcome visitor.]

[So he entered the bar and sat down next to Naomi, casually reaching for a beer.]

Guess it must be weird for you too, huh?

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

Not really. I'm not much of a wedding person anyway.

[She sipped some more wine then looked over at him. She recognized the voice but wasn't quite sure what time period he was from.]

You already know who I am, right?

[snakehermit.livejournal.com]

I meant because it's Otacon getting married. You guys have a fling in the future, right?

[Snake just gave her a look.] I knew who you were on Shadow Moses, Naomi.

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We... We did.

[She looks down at her wine again.]

Calm down. There was just a 9 year gap before I saw you again. I'm just trying to gauge what year you're from.

[snakehermit.livejournal.com]

2009.

[He took another swallow of his beer, slumping over the bar tiredly.]

What are you doing in here?

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

Ah.

About the same as everyone else I guess. Drinking my worries away.

[She took a longer sip of wine.]

[snakehermit.livejournal.com]

Hnnh...

[He closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying the quiet atmosphere. He wasn't really good at talking to people about feelings, especially people he couldn't trust.]

[Yet, he couldn't help but ask...] What's wrong?

[Talib is over here, watching the other patrons carefully. He knew there was much he did not know about this nexus and the people within, but he has eager to learn~]

[Naomi looked back at him.]

Not the drinking type?

[breakuliquid.livejournal.com]

Spirits are discouraged by my religion, but that does not mean I must abstain from the atmosphere they produce~

[This woman looked as if she were conducting her own search for information]

I am rather new to this place and hardly know any of these people; I don't suppose you would care to fill me in?

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

What would you like to know?

[breakuliquid.livejournal.com]

Everything! Until I came here, all I knew was that Liquid Snake was a spy for the British SIS. Now I am told he has a brother, a lover, a husband? Who is The Boss and why does she protect him?

[He makes a broad gesture with one hand]

And who are the rest of these people, to my Liquid Snake?

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

[She didn't personally know about Liquid Snake's background. All she knew was that her virus had killed him at Shadow Moses. And she knew who The Boss was. And that she had died a long time ago.]

I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, sir. I don't know anything about a Liquid Snake.

[Sergei didn't even know that there was a wedding. But he was definitely planning on drinking that night.]

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[She greeted the man. He did look somewhat familiar...]

[forthemother.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[He gave her a curt nod.]

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

... You don't happen to have a granddaughter, do you?

[This man did awfully look like Sunny and her mother.]

[forthemother.livejournal.com]

...

[He looked away.]

Why do you ask?

[Foreigners... how annoying.]

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

I met the most sweet girl the other day. She looks a lot like you but I must have been mistaken. I'm sorry.

[Huey had no idea that his future Son was getting married to a man. Thinking about it... That was probably better.]

[He wheeled up towards the bar curiously, quietly smoking on a cigarette as he contemplated his drink for the evening.]

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

Oh hello, Hal. Oh. You're not Hal, are you?

[She looked over at him, wondering who this was.]

[hueyemmerich.livejournal.com]

[Huey lifts his head and blinks at Naomi curiously.]

Uh... No. No, I'm not.

[Wow, what a babe...]

[He moves across the carpet in his chair and extends his hand.] Huey. I'm his father. _Apparently.

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his hand back.]

Naomi.

Oh really? Its nice to meet you.

[Well, now she knew where he got his good looks from.]

[hueyemmerich.livejournal.com]

Likewise.

[Huey smiled at her. He hadn't heard anything about her from his son so it begged the question;] So how do you know Hal?

[geneticsaddict.livejournal.com]

We...

[She couldn't tell him she slept with his son!]

We're... friends.
