It's about time

[nakedsinner.livejournal.com]

[After nearly half a year in prison, this former Nexus dictator is finally free and once again roaming the hallways thanks to the help of Talib, one of his former underlings.]

[He's in a rather good mood thanks to having finally been able to enjoy a meal other than Russian rations and whatever other horrible things he was given in that hellhole. He has a long way to go to regain his former strength, but he's sure as hell going to make sure that happens as soon as possible.]

[For now, Big Boss... no, just Snake again, is lounging in one of the Nexus' many bars, smoking a cigar while keeping a wary eye on the rest of the bar's patrons. Although there are plenty of people he'd like to get revenge on in the coming days, for now he's doing his best to keep a low profile.]

((Bar open. Feel free to bother Snake, he's not in any position to cause trouble right now))

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.))}
