[This particular main character is in the arcade, currently enjoying a rousing game of Tekken 4.]

It's all right. [expressionless] I'm not going to do anything to you.

[He looks a little more restrained than usual.]

Never have.

How does it work?

[3generations.livejournal.com]

...[looks at him concerned. Now this was strange.]

Uh.. well.

[Explains to him the controls like how he did with Snake in the above post]

Not very hard, if you want to try.


...Look, I have to ask. I know it's prying, but- are you alright?

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[Liquid learns quickly.]

Might as well.

Why does the hell does that one have a jaguar for a head?

I'm fine.

[3generations.livejournal.com]

Huh, King?

[looks back at the screen] Actually, he's a professional wrestler- that's just his mask. His mentor, Armor King, who was in the first incarnations of this game, was murdered, and in this game, he's getting his revenge.

[Picks Yoshimitsu for himself]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[smirks and looks a bit more like his old self] That's a ridiculous story.

[ends up picking Kazuya]

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[smiles at that] Hey, I didn't write it.

[Match is go! Spinning Yoshimitsu~]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

Gah!

[Liquid mashes buttons]

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[Puts up a 'good' fight, enough to give Liquid and his buttonmashing an advantage]

Gah--

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[Aha! He's good at this.]

[Punchpunch! Kick!]

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[Spinny Yoshi is spinny! The match is coming down to the wire]

C'monnn..

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[Liquid's getting into it. That competitive streak.]

[mashmashmash]

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[Otacon 'forgets' to block--!]

Damn!

[PLAYER TWO WINS]

[hangs his head in shaaaame]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

Hah!

[triumph pose!]

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[looks over at him, and pushes his glasses up. He certainly seemed happier, which in turn made Otacon smile.

--Wait, what?]

You got me pretty good there, Liquid. Sure you never played before...?

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[wait a minute.]

[Liquid looks at him closely.]

...You let me win.

[3generations.livejournal.com]

-!

No, I didn't.

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

....

You're a terrible liar.

[3generations.livejournal.com]

Don't.. smirk like that!

[glasses push, hiding his own]

C'mon, one more round.

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

All right.

Fight seriously.

[3generations.livejournal.com]

Yes sir.

[picks the same character, and waits for him to begin]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[face the buttonmash rage of Kazuya!]

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[Well, he wanted a serious fight--]

[Yoshi keeps sidestepping him and eventually gets a few well placed blade smacks in there. Bam!]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

That's more like it.

[looks determined]

[he's gotten the hang of this. Manages to put up a fight.]

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[Smirks, but doesn't say anything]

...Hnn.

[Wow, Liquid really is getting better at this. And fast!]

[Otacon quickly taps the directional pad and button, and Yoshimitsu starts spinning, but-]

Damnit!

[Hal forgot about the recovery time for the spin! Will Liquid win on an upset?]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[Almost...]

!

[Skewered.]
