GOT THAT FEELIN~ MOUSTACHE FEELIN~

[notyourpuppets.livejournal.com]

[Ever since his arival, Ocelot has been vastly curious about cleaning up his image. When he came to the Nexus, he was scruffy. His hair was a mess, and he had not quite been able to pull of the rugged look that Big Boss had, much to his dismay.]

[So he hid away for a little while to try and make an image for himself. He continued to grow his hair out, which he neatly combed back into a ponytail, and decided to shave everywhere - besides his moustache that he grew out.]

[He was currently chilling out in a room that he had found - replicating a traditional Japanese onsen divided into two halves; one for men, and one for women. Ocelot himself was reclined within the steam of the water, allowing the heat to soak his limbs and muscles.]

...Not too bad.

[Dave glances over to the other man and realizes that it's an Ocelot that he doesn't remember encountering before.]

[Snake's not sure what this man is like or what he thinks of him so he keeps his distance for now.]

[He leans back and rests his arms on the sides of the spring and exhales quietly, relaxing.]

...

[Ocelot knows that Snake saw him, and he arches his brow at him, before smirking slightly.]

Ignoring me now?

[0ldsnake.livejournal.com]

[On the contrary. He's watching him.]

Nno-

[notyourpuppets.livejournal.com]

Really?

[He smirks, before wading towards Snake, having no better knowledge of who it really was.]

[He almost has the instinctual urge to tense up a little. He has to make a conscious effort to relax.]

Yes, really.

You're new here. Has anyone explained this place to you yet?

[notyourpuppets.livejournal.com]

[He moves to sit at a close-distance, observing Snake carefully.]

I've been here for a while. I know how it works. [He stretches out his legs beneath the surface of the water.]

So you must be a different one.

[he feels a tad awkward being 'observed' at close range.]

Hnn... [He looks over at him.] Yeah. I haven't met you until now.

[notyourpuppets.livejournal.com]

...

You know. I think I prefered you with a beard.

[He tilts his head slightly, arching a brow to try and focus on Snake's face.]

[0ldsnake.livejournal.com]

What?

...

I thought about growing it but it makes me look even older.

[notyourpuppets.livejournal.com]

[Which made Ocelot snicker.]

It made you look very dapper. That rugged look always suited you best.

[0ldsnake.livejournal.com]

I can't get away with it now.

When I try that now, I look too much like Grizzly Adams. [-__-] Hnn...

[notyourpuppets.livejournal.com]

... But I saw a version of you, older.

[He drew his hand up to scritch lightly at Snake's chin. He will figure it out, soon enough, that this is not John!]

It suited you very nicely~

[0ldsnake.livejournal.com]

Hn? But...wait. What? [Snake gives his a strange look.]

Ocelot...I think you are mistaken- [He gingerly grabs his fingers so he will stop with the petting.]
