[The first thing Otacon notices is that his computer has been replaced by a white wall. And then he falls on his ass.]

[The second thing he notices is that Snake isn't rasping at him anymore. Good on one hand, because listening to Snake talk for extended stretches always made him feel like he would develop laryngitis-by-proxy. Bad on the other, because what the hell happened then?]

[Had he fallen asleep in the middle of the mission? Unlikely, but he kicks the wall to be sure. His nerves register a definite negative response to that theory. Otacon's mind runs through a few possibilities - a dimensional rift in time-space, abduction by aliens, passage into the afterlife - before settling on the worst one.]

[It's not like he hadn't prepared for it. Philanthropy had gone over this particular contingency in great detail. The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo could fashion such a place; their virtual reality tech was sophisticated enough to render this amount of detail.]

[If that's the case, they'll be coming for him.]

[Otacon takes a deep breath. Now, what were those methods Snake taught him for blocking out pain and withstanding torture?]

[Maybe he won't have to use a single one if he finds a good enough hiding place.]

((Post MGS2 Otacon, per [profile] xponos' suggestion. Because, if it's one thing FM needs, it's yet another Otacon. :D ))

[So last night Arthur had an... interesting time with [livejournal.com profile] saltpeppered in the fourth floor bar, drinking way too much vodka in the process.  Snake was good enough to get the highly intoxicated man back to his room, where he promptly passed out on the bed.  Way to go, Arthur.

And he's just waking up now.]

Oh Jesus God.

[That would indeed be the sound of a man with an incredible hangover.  And not just any hangover-- he has the kind of headache that makes migraines look like minor twinges.  Even a small amount of light is like a full-out nuclear assault on his eyes.  The best part?

No aspirin.  Arthur would kill for someone for aspirin.  Probably himself.

So now he's getting his hungover self out of bed to wander through the Nexus in search of aspirin.  His clothes are wrinkled, his hair is a mess, and he looks like death warmed over.  Barely.  While trying not to look at the white walls or the lights, because the combination of those two things are making his brain feel like it's being attacked with a sledgehammer.]


Bother y/n?

[Arthur Emmerich walks down a pristine white hallway, a lab coat tucked over one arm, notebooks full of thin, spidery writing in his hand.  He is paying more attention to his lab notes than to anything else, and it is late enough at night that his mind is minorly foggy and more prone to wandering.  His eyes ache from spending too much time doing research and not enough time sleeping.]

"God."  [He pushes open an unmarked, unremarkable door, walking into that next corridor without even glancing up at his surroundings.]  "This can't be right.  I'm going to have to do it all over tomorrow..."  [He sounds mildly irritated, and gives a little sigh.  Then he looks up, glances back down at his data, and pauses.  He looks up again, gazing around at his environment as though he had just seen it for the first time.  This... does not look like the hallways of the Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung research institute.  The complete lack of German on signs, and, of course, the utter lack of <i>signs</i> in general clues him in to that.]

"What in the world...?"

[Arthur adjusts his glasses on his face and walks a little further down the hall, trying to see if there is something he recognizes.  Nothing... with a little shrug, he decides to go back the way he came.  Must've gone through the wrong door.]

[There is just the little minor fact that there is no door from where he could have sworn he came from.  There is instead a resolutely blank wall with nothing even vaguely door-like about it.  That is extremely unusual because, as far as Arthur knows, inanimate objects do not just get up and wander off on their own, and he didn't think that he was currently quite out of possession of his mind.  Which means that something else entirely is going on here, and he is not exactly amused about it.]
