Time is on my side~

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

[There is someone new in the Nexus. He's right in the lobby, laying on his side, breathing heavily. His eyes stare sightlessly ahead as he tries to recover from what ever has knocked him so thoroughly over.]

Haa...haa...Hal?

((Time Lord Snake, just now in his second incarnation. He's from sometime after MSG4))

......Snake?

[He sounds like a Snake but he doesn't look like one.]

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

[He shifts a little, grunting in pain, as he tries to look up at the man.]

Yeah...w-where?

[actuallyhornets.livejournal.com]

The Nexus. What happened to your face?

[So. Confused.]

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

M-my face?

[Oh good, he's finally catching his breath. He reaches up and feels his face a moment.]

What the hell? When did that happen?

[actuallyhornets.livejournal.com]

How should I know? You just landed here!

[He flails a little.]

And where's Hal?

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

I don't know! I was in bed and Hal was calling a doctor...

[He stares at Pain.]

I think I died.

[actuallyhornets.livejournal.com]

You too?

[He sighs.]

I have good news and bad news for you.

[otaku-mk-ii.livejournal.com]

Er...yes? A-are you okay?

[Have an Otacon, staring with a clear 'wtf' expression.]

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

Ha-hal?

[He rolls over, blinking in surprise when he sees he no longer has old, wrinkled hands.] H-hal? W-what happend?

[otaku-mk-ii.livejournal.com]

[He adjusted his glasses and knelt down next to Snake]

You're, uh...in this building called a nexus, it's kind of hard to explain.

[Was this another alternate-universe Snake? It sure as hell didn't look like him.]

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

[Snake has his own clearly WTF?! look on his face as he looks from his hand to Otacon.]

What? Where did the house go? Where's Sunny?

[Finally caught his breath.]

[otaku-mk-ii.livejournal.com]

[Sunny? Oh, this one must've been from some time in the future...but that didn't explain his appearance.]

Like I said, it's hard to explain...see, this place kinda pulls in people at random, and...okay, it sounds completely crazy.

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

It kinda does, yeah.

[He struggles to sit up, hands trying to grip the carpet.]

I...I think I was dying...or dead already.

[otaku-mk-ii.livejournal.com]

[Otacon held out a hand to help, turning pale at those words.]

I...th-this place does that. Takes people that've already died, I mean.

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

Calm down, it's okay. [Who the hell is this guy? He doesn't look like anyone she knows...] My brother's around here, don't worry.

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

E.E. ?! Am I really dead then?

[He tries to get himself into one of the chairs.]

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

No. I'm not- who are you?

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

It's me Snake don't you- [His eyes widen and he grabs his throat, suddenly seeming to realize how much younger it sounded.] The hell?

[be-safe-hal.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah. No. Try again, and don't even think about trying that shit on Hal.

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

I'm not trying pull shit with you Emma! [He rubs his throat, grumbling about wishing he had cigarettes.] Worse than getting my eyes pecked out by your damn parrot.

[femmoo.livejournal.com]

[She approaches the stranger. Something seems familiar about him... but she can't figure out why.

She mooed softly as she poked his side.]

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

Ow...was that necessary?

[He rolls over and looks up at her.]

[femmoo.livejournal.com]

[Head tilt. The human was in pain?

another experimental poke.]

[gallifreysnake.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Stop that kid!

[femmoo.livejournal.com]

[She stopped reluctantly, and wondered if she could help him... she still wonders if she's ever met him before... she was unable to shake off the feeling that she's seen him somewhere...

A frustrated moo.]
