Another wolf enters the nexus,,,

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

[Sniper Wolf is dead, she knew that much but this seemed to be an odd situation she was in, is this the afterlife?]

[murmuring to her self]
I never thought a strange place such as this would be where I would end up. Will I finally meet you again Saladin or is this some trick of the mind?

Where am I?

Wolf.

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

Liquid.

I suppose the rebellion failed if you are here too.

What happened?

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

...Wolf.

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

...

Hal?

[Wolf becomes a lot more concerned]

You seem... older. What exatly has happened, have I died or what could this all be?

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

This is a nexus.

[Hal hesitates, allowing his eyes to drift back and fourth over Wolf's figure.]

--It's a combination of timelines drawn together. I'm guessing that you're from Shadow Moses. As for me... I guess I'm from your future.

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

A nexus you say?

[she sighs and looks at the ground]

If you mean Shadow Moses by the timeline I am from then yes, I think I have just died. But if you are here and older that means you were spared.

I am glad
[hint of a smile]

[sigh]

You would be correct.

[he gestures with a hand]

Everything was going according to plan, aside from the deaths of our comrades and... ourselves.

Input the PAL codes for us. Only to turn around and destroy Metal Gear.

In the end, I was killed by FOXDIE.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

That doesn't surprise me. [Hal murmured in a melancholic way. He adjusted his glasses, before taking a hesitant step forward.]

Yeah. I stuck with Snake ever since that day. [His eyes wander over her face; there is a definate pain there, but also the signs of a man that has lived through anguish and has matured.]

I've missed you.

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

Such a waste, although that bastard Ocelot got what he deserved. I always disliked him.

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

[Wolf takes a step closer and talks a bit quieter]

I am sorry, but...

but death was my wish and even though it was selfish, I had been looking for it long before I had met you. If only it had been a different situation...

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

[Hal shakes his head, reaching his hand out as though to touch her, but he holds back.]

Don't apologize. I don't think I'll ever understand why you longed for that, but... It was your wish. I had no right to try and redeem you.

[He eventually lands his hand on her shoulder, squeezing lightly.]

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

You are such a good person Hal, never change.

[She smiles]

I hope life is good for you.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

I've had my fair share of ups and downs, but I can't complain.

[Hal smiles slowly in turn.] At least you aren't bleeding like the other Wolf I met here.

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

Other... Wolf?

I know you said that there are different timelines but is it possible for there to be more than one of a person here?

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

Oh... Yes. Different timelines, several of the same person, different ages... even genders, yet the same person.

I know of a male version of you, and a female version of me.

[ducks-not-scrd.livejournal.com]

[Duck gives you a confused look (At your face because he remembers what happened the last time he met a sniper wolf)]

Um. you're in a Nexus... I thought you knew that though...

[saidshewas18.livejournal.com]

[Frown. >( ]

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

[blank look]

This is quite unexpected.

Is the male version of me tolerable?

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

No?

Who are you, have we spoke before?

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

Ah...

it's you.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

While I've yet to meet him--

[He awkwardly shifted, murmuring.] _{Any version of you is tolerable.}

[ducks-not-scrd.livejournal.com]

So... You don't remember pointing a gun at my face?

[Stare]

OOOOH, I see... You must be a different Sniper Wolf then! I'm guessing this is that multiple people thing!

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

[a small smile tugs at her lips.]

Your words are flattering.

thank you

[snipingwolf.livejournal.com]

I should have no reason to point a gun at a persons face unless...

[super serious face >:|]

Were you harming a woman or child?

[ducks-not-scrd.livejournal.com]

No, I was uh... Let's just say I was looking where I wasn't supposed to.

[Nervous laugh]
