FissionMailed

[Upon entering this room, one thing becomes very clear to you- you weren't awesome enough before. Now, you are. You have one thing on your mind and one thing only- kicking a lot of ass.]

[The scenery around you makes that easy enough- enemies are coming around at all sides, and you find yourself far beyond peak physical condition. You can do the impossible- lift up full-sized mecha, cut people into small pieces, or anything else you desire. Nothing can stop you.]

[Meanwhile, back in the real world, people can watch you flail around wildly and shout things like "LET ER RIIIP" at nothing.]

((OOC: This is a very powerful hallucination room. People who enter this room will think they're in whatever fantasy battlefield they can imagine, and that they're the most awesome thing around. They'll also completely lose control over their own personalities, and in extreme cases, may be reduced to shouting awful one-liners and getting into fights with the first person they see.

Please be aware that while the enhanced abilities and change of scenery are all illusions, the change in personality, the shouting, and the random acts of violence are not. People who enter this room can and will pose a very real danger to themselves and others, unless they can be snapped out of it before the three days are up or they die.))

It took a while, but Meryl was finally able to walk around freely after being shot. Of course, this meant that she had to walk into random rooms with no real common sense whatsoever. Maybe one day, this will actually do something useful, but for now, it's not like she has anything better to do.

Of course, it didn't take long at all for something bad to happen. The first door she entered put her into a rather revealing outfit. She really had to get out before anyone saw this, but there was just one problem.

"Arr, I can't be walking in high heels!" She attempted to stagger for the door, only to nearly fall down multiple times.

((Happy talk-like a pirate day! Anyone who enters this room will suddenly be dressed like and talk like a pirate. Pirate-talk will wear off upon leaving the room, but the clothing will remain until your character changes out of it.))

'I can't give up now, he's still...'

Meryl couldn't move from the puddle of blood she had been laying in since an unpleasant reunion. He had resolved to protect the Nexus from bastards like him, which is why it didn't take long for the two to erupt into fighting. Meryl should have had every advantage- she knew the area, she was a bit hard to recognize, and she was taking it a hell of a lot serious then Ocelot was. But that still didn't change the fact that she was inexperienced, and Ocelot was a lot more willing to kill people, no matter what either of their motives were. But he didn't kill him, rather, Meryl was left to die with a 45 caliber bullet digging itself deeper into his body with every move he makes.

The now-male soldier attempted to bandage himself up, only to end up clutching the wound in pain when the bullet dug itself deeper into his body. He kept trying until it became too much to bear, and dropped the bandages next to him. The blood loss was becoming too much to handle, and she had to struggle to stay awake. This couldn't be any worse; she couldn't get up, very few people would recognize her, and above everything else, she failed to help anyone. She'll just have to wait a few more hours to bleed out, then she can warn everyone in three days. It wasn't quick, but it sure as hell beat dying for good.

[Meryl didn't have a lot of luck trying to protect the people here, and even her latest little scheme was being ground to a halt just because the building was too large to find anyone. She wouldn't give up though, and she was looking through the rooms desperately.

However, she eventually started to get hungry, and one room had something particularly delicious:

Watermelons. And they looked perfect.

Well, there was nothing wrong with taking a little break, right? She went over to see if there were any watermelons that were already cut, but to no avail. All she found were watermelons, and those stupid swords that anime fans always liked to carry around. What were they called? Katanas? Yea, katanas.

She could have just left and resumed her mission, but she really wanted those melons. She would have to cut them. She MUST cut them.]

((OOC: Anyone who walks into this room will feel the strange urge to CUT THINGS. Likewise, EVERYTHING can be CUT. They can CUT THEIR WRISTS, they can CUT THE GRASS, they can CUT WATERMELON, CUT THE SCENERY, and they can even CUT UP PEOPLE.))

What was worse? Taking a human life, or refusing to get involved when there were human lives at stake?

Meryl had always blindly followed her ambitions of being a soldier without giving the consequences of her actions any real thought. It wasn't until Shadow Moses that she learned just how horrific war was, and just how hard it was to harm a living person. The Nexus had given her ample opportunity to run and hide instead of facing her problems, and she took that opportunity for almost a full year. Meanwhile, people close to her were getting hurt while she was too wrapped up in ignoring it all.

It was time to face facts; she finally had to take a good hard look at herself and decide what she was going to do with her life.

Of course, any time she actually sat down and thought about things, it always ended in someone getting bored to death or nothing getting done, so she's taking out her frustrations on a punching bag instead. She's been at this for quite a while, but she doesn't really show any real signs of fatigue.

[Meryl had had a pretty uneventful while, save for the strange looks she got when she spoke about the invisible deer that followed her around. She's not hallucinating, she swears.

Anyway, she decided to take the time to explore, until she finally came into one room. By the looks of it, it was just a normal platform room. She jumped on the first spring, and...

It launched her into a bottomless pit on the ceiling (Is that even possible?).]

Son of a biiitch!

[She was booted back to the beginning of the level.]

((Welcome to Platform Hell. It's as irritatingly tricky as Syobon action and Glitchy as Sonic 06. The good news is that you have infinite lives, but the bad news is that you can't leave until you finish a sick joke of a level. Expect lots of swearing.))

((Um, so I'm new here, I'll post an intro later. I'm new to both Metal Gear and Livejournal, so I'm sorry if I make any stupid mistakes. I'm also sure you're tired of seeing Meryls, so I'm sorry for that too. D: ))


[It was over. It was all over. Liquid had fallen to FOXDIE, and Snake, no, DAVID, had taken her into his arms. They had rode off in a snowmobile into the sunset, and she had fallen asleep not long after.

And now she was sleeping on the ground of some strange place. Is there anyone kind enough to wake her up, or will someone play an immature prank on her instead?]
