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?))

But you're..... old

How is that possible?

It's this place. It sucks in different people from different times and places. Get used to it.

[Raikov frowned] How should I know you're telling the truth and you're not just some crazy old man who thinks he's Big Boss?

[notapiratesrsly.livejournal.com]

What must I do to prove it, Major Raikov?

[Raikov paused. How did this man know his name already? Something told Raikov that the old man was telling the truth, but... he had to be sure. He had to test him.]

How did you sneak into Groznyj Grad and how.... [he faultered] How did you kill the Colonel.

[notapiratesrsly.livejournal.com]

I knocked you out and stole your clothing, and used a mask. As to how I killed Volgin, it technically wasn't me. I destroyed the Shagohod, and then a lightning bolt came down and electrocuted him. He died from that.

But still, it's your fault he's dead...

[There was no question, this man had to be Big Boss. Which means...]

[Raikov quickly grabbed his Makarov, pointing it at Big Boss's face. Old man or not, he was still responsible for the colonels death, and his revenge would be carried out.]

I can't forgive you for what you've done!

[He gave him a blank look, before pulling the weapon from his hand, and taking it apart.]

Really now?

[It had been awhile since he had been... "mean."]

Oh yeah, that's smart Raikov.

Bu- Wha-

[Raikov stuttered, staring at his empty hand where his gun had been.]

[He glared at Big Boss, lashing out to try and hit him]
