I've got you under my skin

[Big Boss is currently cleaning up his office on the first floor. He was glad to have missed Halloween, but was now left to clear up the mess littered all over the floor and over his desk. He was not pleased; candy wrappers, party poppers, egg shells. You name it. He had to clean it.]

[He slumped down in his seat irritably once he had dumped the majority of mess into the trash and decided to make a broadcast. His commanding voice boomed out to the Nexus.]

It has come to my attention that the recent festivities have been used to exploit this building. I don't care what you do outside or amongst yourselves, but MY OFFICE IS OFF LIMITS! If I find out who wrecked this room, I will hunt you down.

That is all.

[Big Boss fell back in his chair and attempted to get some paperwork done.]

Hm. I've learned a few new tricks since then.

[Meanwhile, Snake goes about checking the usual places. He even goes to far as checking the room that was one of the other Big Boss's office.]

You've become ballsy. That is a significant change.

[The old man pulls out a cigar and lights up in the hallway. He doesn't bother following Snake. His most important information won't be found in any of the rooms on this floor.]

Yeah. Well... Spending too much time with someone. He started to wear off.

[Snake is still doing an almost casual search. Never have too much recon.]

So let me guess... You're from before I killed you the second time, right?

[Big Boss breathes out through parted lips, the smoke of the cigar wufting around his lips.]

What of it?

[legendarysolid.livejournal.com]

It just explains a few things.

You never truly managed to kill me, Snake. How else would I be standing here, or even in twenty years time? Of course, I become far too soft in the future.

[He honestly can't imagine living his life like that.]
