Been wanting to post this forever.

[Huey was actually feeling pretty good that day, having recently been intimate with Strangelove, as he wandered into a random room that was drawing him in. Then his eyes lit up with interest as he rolled up to a small table with something glorious upon it. He hadn't had a Ziganov in years so he excitedly opened up the pack of cigarettes, lit up, and smoked that vanilla flavor. He let out a long smokey pleased sigh when he suddenly froze, seeing writing appearing across the wall in front of him and his own voice reading a familiar love letter to the room.]

        Hey. Long time no see, huh?

        Sorry for writing to you out of the blue like this. I've been trying to get in touch, but, you know, you haven't been answering... Was it something I said, maybe? If so, I apologize. It's just there's something I want to tell you. So... I decided to put it in a letter...
        I mean, obviously this isn't the best time at all. But I was, you know, kind of curious. About your... research and stuff... Speaking of which, how's the pod coming along? I was wondering whether that program I wrote was working or not. You know, the one that links our two AIs together. If it's not, I could always... go over and fix it... if that's OK, of course. For my own peace of mind, really. You know make sure the program's feeling alright... Er. I guess you wouldn't really say a program 'has feelings,' would you? Ha ha ha...
       Sorry. I'm getting off track here. So, um anyway I've been meaning to tell you something for the longest time. I've been thinking... back when we first met at NASA... those were fun times. You know, living the dream, getting to work all the time with the... the science we loved. Ever since then I've always held you... your... your... research, that is... in highest esteem.  No, more than that... I think you're a... a w-w-w-wonderful person. S-Sorry I don't even know what I'm trying to say here. So when you disappeared from NASA all of a sudden, I was devastated. That's when it finally dawned on me... I.. I need you... For my research, you see. I mean, no! Well, yes and no. It's hard to explain...
        Anyway when I saw you were in Costa Rica I could hardly believe it. I thought maybe a divine intervention or something... you know, like it was written some where that we were meant to be like this. You and me, the two of us, from now on... you know... just you and me... doing research together... I mean not just research... well... there's research of course... But research can have so many different meanings, can't it? I'm rambling again, sorry. But we don't have much time left. When Peace Walker is finished, that's it right? There's the end of the project. So... what I'm trying to say is...  us... Peace Walker is like something we created together, you know... And when it's finished... then we'll ...
        ... I know we're not done yet. Need to finish it first , right? Yeah. Until we do I just hope you won't disappear like you did on me last time.
   
        Sorry for taking up your time. I wish you the best of luck with your research.
   
        Your dear friend,
   
        Huey

[... He just sat there, dumbfounded, wondering what the hell he was thinking when he wrote that to Dr. Strangelove. Then Dr. Emmerich went back to smoking, hoping no one would see that old message.]

((Welcome to the Love Letter Room! Feel free to "write" one, or just think about it and it'll appear, to anyone within the Nexus or not - addressing it is optional. It shall write itself on one of the walls in the room and be read out loud. Be prepared for people's reactions. Have fun.))

Comments

It had to be done. XD

[Hal can't help himself and laughs upon hearing his dad's letter to his mom.]

[Except someone just broke his nose (http://community.livejournal.com/fissionmailed/1280004.html?thread=132467204#t132467204), so he's not laughing as hard as he could.]

[.....don't kill me, Dad.]

HurrHurr

[thelastbetrayal.livejournal.com]

[Papa Emmerich jolted a little from the laughing and looked over, seeing the familiar version of his son being the guilty party. He rolled his baby blues and shook his head.]

Shut up, Hal.

Any chance to abuse Papa Emmerich I will take XD

[h-emmerich.livejournal.com]

You seriously wrote that, Dad?

[Ohh, there are lots of giggles coming from this boy now.]

Talk about dodging the point in there.

So always? Heh.

[thelastbetrayal.livejournal.com]

... Yes. Yes I did - but it was a long time ago.

[He pushed up his glasses, a frown on his face, not liking the laughing one bit.]

Guess that must run in the family.

God damn writing Ocelot is so hard OTL

[manwithaname.livejournal.com]

I respect you but you really are an American dog.

[Yep. That's his letter. You have to read between the lines. I mean, he WROTE A LETTER saying he respected someone. That's kind of a big deal.]

[reallyold1]

[...... Was that a young Ocelot?]

[And old man and dog staring at the man...and his letter.]

[reallyold1]

I actually made it home back for Christmas. Otacon do you want

Hal, do you want to

Sending coordinates.

[This is a very, very old message to his world's Hal.]

[The old man is looking at it, dumbfounded. Jupiter is craning her neck, wondering what her Human is looking at.]

[h-emmerich.livejournal.com]

[Hal sees his name and tilts his head a bit.]

Hey, Snake.

[reallyold1]

[ ! ]

...H-Hal!

......Hello.

[Is Jupiter sneerking down there?]

[heartishuman.livejournal.com]

I really enjoy all the time we spend together everyday, Sunny. I think I've found faith in humanity again thanks to you. I sometimes even wish you really were my daughter. I guess I just want to say thanks for always being there for me. I love you.

[All the words were true, although he felt a little awkward about them being said out loud.]

/some quick fluff

[ebriumga-ko.livejournal.com]

... You r-really mean that, Jack?

[Have the indicated Sunny looking up at you, Raiden.]

[heartishuman.livejournal.com]

[Raiden moved his attention towards her and knelt down on one knee, patting her head a bit, a rare genuine smile on his face.]

Yeah. Its all true, Sunny.

[ebriumga-ko.livejournal.com]

[The girl nodded, a large smile on her face and happiness in her eyes.] I l-love you, too, Jack! [And Sunny went forward and hugged him, truly meaning her words. He was the person who was most special to her.]

[jailbait-guilt.livejournal.com]

[He just stares, reading and listening.]

Was... that...? [That had been for his mother, right?]

Ohi!

[thelastbetrayal.livejournal.com]

[Huey pauses when he sees his son, this one being a lot closer in age to the one he left back home. When he finally finds his voice again, he greets.]

Hello, son.

Let's see if I can do this :'D

[jailbait-guilt.livejournal.com]

[He actually was that age, when he was sucked into the Nexus. That's why he freezes at seeing you - the memory of you exactly as he's seeing you now.] ...

Hello, father.

Do or do not. There is no try.

[thelastbetrayal.livejournal.com]

[His oceanic gaze scanned him over, the smoke from his cigarette clouding the view of his face.]

You're a lot younger than most of your alternates here.

[patriotsprodigy.livejournal.com]

[Three words appear on the wall when Sunny comes in:]

'You are cute.'

[She's six, can anyone expect anything more from a six year old girl? She then walks over to Huey.]

This is a f-funny room.

[Watching him. And then-] You l-look like Uncle Hal. Are y-you r-related?

Oh, hey, you.

[thelastbetrayal.livejournal.com]

[Huey turned towards the unfamiliar voice and blinked a few times.]

Uncle Hal? Uh... Yes. I'm his father. Are you... Emma's daughter?

[The man felt dumbfounded, realizing he might be a grandpa at that moment.]

Couldn't resist =D

[patriotsprodigy.livejournal.com]

[Sunny shakes her head.]

No, Uncle H-Hal told m-me about E-Emma. I'm O-Olga Gurlukovich's d-daughter.

He adopted m-me though.

I've been wanting for him to meet a Sunny.

[thelastbetrayal.livejournal.com]

[Papa put out his cig on a convenient ashtray then turned his chair to fully face her.]

Oh. You must be Sunny then.

[Snake had told him about her. He was curious as to what she meant about Emma though. He would save that for later.]

I guess... I'm kind of your grandpa then.

[His glasses are pushed up, feeling a little awkward.]

[ebriumga-ko.livejournal.com]

I really love my f-family. Jack and I play together every day and he lets me put b-bows in his hair. I really like when Snake and I cook together and when we play fetch with J-Jupiter. I'm glad he stopped smoking. Cinnamon is so fuzzy and cute and I l-love her a lot. Uncle H-Hal is always busy but I know he cares a lot for me anyway. I hope he comes back f-from his vacation soon... I w-wish I could meet my mother sometime but i-its okay. I'm happy.

[Sunny smiled, liking this room.]

[reallyold1]

...Sunny. [Keep calm, keep calm. Smile.]

...I'm glad I stopped smoking, too. [Even though he really misses it sometimes.]

[Jupiter trots ahead and nuzzles Sunny.]

[ebriumga-ko.livejournal.com]

Hi, Sn-Snake. [Sunny greeted back with a big smile on her face, not realizing anything was off.]

[She nodded.] Now I don't h-have to hang up no smoking signs anymore.

[The girl giggled and petted Jupiter.]

... Are you okay? [The man's face was telling her otherwise.]

[reallyold1]

...No problem, no problem.

[Thinks, and tries to change the subject.]

You want to go eat some cake, Sunny?

[Jupiter looks up at the magic word. Did somebody say 'Cake'?]
