[Hey look. It's yet another Otacon. Though it's fair to say this one has been here for a while... but he's been busy, as per usual. Of course, he did take some time away with auld_serpent, but now his confidence had been boosted, enough to kick start him into gear and finish his Mk. II.]

[He was listening to Ayumi Hamasaki as he worked on his computer, the robot hooked up to said machine. He watched it twitch and twirl, until finally... a big grin graced his face.]

Oh man. I did it!

[He bends over to clasp his hands over his creation, hauling it up in his lap proudly. It whirled about in his lap, showing a mirrored excitement to its creator.]

[He's forgotten what month it is, and also that his birthday is coming up on the 20th. Perhaps subconciously, he knows, but he doesn't seem to be showing any signs of celebrating. Time flew by when Otacon was concerned, so of course, he has no concept what month it is right now.]

[Now that he had finished, however, something dawned on him; Snake didn't need it. But he could still set out to use it as a device to keep tabs on the Nexus, especially considering how there have been a few threats in his lifetime here. He wasn't prepared to let anyone get away with anything anymore, and hopefully would be able to find out information before they decided to actually attack. With the added effects of stealth, no one would be able to detect it, so he should be able to get away with it.]

[Of course, now he's been up for three days straight, so someone might want to grab him a coffee... or sleeping pills.]

Hal, I'm not Sunny. I'm not that gullible.

... you are screwing with me, right?

Alien technology, alternate beings that have no classification. Not 'human' classification anyway. They've got proof that these things have entered Earth. You don't really believe we're important enough to be the only beings in our universe, do you?

[He steepled his hands together.]

All these cases that people have link to aliens... It's hidden from the public eye because they don't wanna cause a pandemic.

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

... y-yeah, um...

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

[Was that a... pout?]

You don't believe me, do you?

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

W-well, come on Hal! It's... I...

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

I always expected Snake to doubt me, but not you.

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

... Hal, I...

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

[Pout.]

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's not fair.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

_{Yes it is.}

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

[smacks him] Stop playing around, Hal!

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

Aah!

[He winces when he's smacked.]

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I know you're screwing with me. I didn't hit you that hard and I'm still pretty weak.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

No one enjoys being hit, no matter how hard it is!

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, you were acting like it hurt. I can barely kill a fly.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

When did you start getting so--

[He didn't finish that sentence, knowing a little better than to piss off a woman.]

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

Weak? Hal, I've had a lot of surgery.

... I've missed being a... family like this. Teasing each other.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

No... No, not weak. I was going to say dominant.

[He rubbed his own cheek wearily.] We don't behave like this in your time, huh?

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

Have to be.

Not really. It's like I'm made of glass. It's... frustrating.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry...

[Spoken on behalf of his other self.]

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

... I can't imagine what it's like with me dead.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

[He pressed his lips together tightly, chewing thoughtfully on the inside of his cheek.]

I don't let Snake know, but it gets to be a lot, thinking about that day.

I've met a few versions of you here. Just be glad you didn't have to put up with me breaking down on you...

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one.

... [She took off her glasses, rubbing her face] I wouldn't blame you.

[otaconic.livejournal.com]

I try and find the positives whenever versions of you show up. I'm always happy to see you... but hesitant to approach in case you don't know everything.

Out of all of them, you handled it the best.

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

It helps that I don't like Mom.

... [puts her glasses back on] ... Hal, I really did miss you.
