Can Love Bloom in a Fascist Dictatorship?

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[It had been two years since Operation Snake Eater. Two years since the day that Raikov's beloved Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin had been cruelly taken from him. Ever since then, Raikov has been lost and confused, not sure who or what to believe in anymore. He was left mentally discouraged and alone. His only purpose was in his desire to someday get revenge on Naked Snake, the man who killed his lover, and reclaim The Philosopher's Legacy; and with it, fulfill Volgin's dream. What his dream was, he wasn't completely sure, but he knew it was his duty, in order to honor his fallen commander.]

[Reaching into his pocket he produced a photograph, its corners worn and it's picture almost obscured over the years, but Raikov treasured it (almost) more than the lightning-themed underwear his beloved always gave him on the holidays.]

Yevgeny... this is the year I will avenge you. [He vowed, placing a quick kiss on the picture before tucking it back into his pocket.]

[That is... if I can figure out where I am. He looked around at the unfamiliar walls. He had been trying to infiltrate an American government office, trying to learn the wherabouts of Naked Snake, now known as Big Boss, according to his sources, when he found himself lost in the seemingly endless maze of hallways.]

[Touching the familiar-shaped red marks on his face, he reminded himself that even lost in enemy territory. His beloved Yevgeny would be watching over him. So, with renewed courage, he continued forward in the strage place.]

((ooc: A new Raikov? What the heck am I thinking?))

[Here was the choice; go with the alias or give his codename? This wasn't the Big Shell and he wasn't talking to Raiden, so...]

Liquid Snake, former FOXHOUND field commander.

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[He frowned]

...Snake you say?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

...Shall I assume you've heard of me?

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't happen to know anyone named Naked Snake would you?

[This man may prove useful after all...]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[His eyes narrowed slightly at the mention, watching Raikov suspiciously.]

...My father.

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[Raikov raised an eyebrow and shook his head]

Not possible. The Naked Snake I'm looking for is not much older than you are.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's quite possible.

[He waved a hand dismissively at their surroundings.]

This place, ridiculous as it seems, is a connecting point in time and space--considering your uniform seems to be one from the Cold War era and given the fact that you referred to my father by his codename, it's safe toa ssume you're from many years in my past.

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[Raikov thought on this for awhile.]

That is pretty ridiculous. Why should I believe you're telling the truth and not some nut case? Can you prove that you're from my future?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

. . .how the bloody hell am I supposed to do that?

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

I don't know, you should have thought of that before you started spouting off nonsense!

[He thought for a moment on Liquid's earlier words.]

Regardless if I believe you or not, Does that mean I can find Naked Snake... Big Boss here?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

That's right. Are you perhaps out to kill him?

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

That's right I-

[He paused]

How did you know what I was after?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Call it wishful thinking. You and I might well get along better than initially expected.

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

You seek to kill your own father? [Raikov raised an eyebrow]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Well spotted. You're much smarter than Raiden.

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[Raikov grinned, pleased with himself. He didn't know who this Raiden was, but nevertheless, it was always good to have someone acknowlege your superiority.]

Excellent. It seems we have a common goal. How do you suggest we go about killing the bastard?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

That's the beautiful part. In this ridiculous place, death lasts a mere three days. We don't need to settle on only one method.

[Although Liquid had roved himself as the dominant twin on Shadow Moses, it would be very nice to get the revenge Snake had stolen from him.]

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

Death is only temporary here? [This man might be more off of his rocker than Raikov had originally thought, but nevertheless, crazy or not, Liquid wanted to kill Big Boss too, and that's what really matters, in the long run.]

I think we should make him suffer. [He said darkly.]

*proved, damned typos

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

...No. We either have the decency to kill him outright, or not at all.

[If there was one thing Liquid would never do even with his cruel standards, it was torture.]

It's okay, I figured it out eventually

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[Raikov frowned]

But then what's the point if he's just going to come back?

Sorry, I missed that one. ^^;;

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Then we kill him again. And again. But I will not be involved in torture, is that clear?

whoops

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[Hmmm]

What if we just killed him very sloooooowly?

xD

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

...I suppose it depends on the specific method.

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

...I was thinking possibly electrocution?

[It's what Volgin would have wanted.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[Just like that revolting room of Ocelot's on Shadow Moses...disgusting.]

Hm...if it's not drawn out for too long, then that should be acceptable.
