Sorry guys! Seems like there's been a bit of confusion regarding the use of Otacon on this journal. Let me try to explain how Hal is used, here.
I'm in a few different communities with Hal. As such, each community has a different canon related to him. Let me explain.
In flamingo_u, Hal is a IT professor in the college (and is considering teaching at the high school as well). He's in a very committed relationship with David Sears (Solid Snake), and this is an AU, taking place after the events of MGS2. For all intents and purposes, anything posted to this journal as an entry is canon for this community, and this community only.
In smashdressing, he's also in a relationship with Snake, but it's slightly complicated, having also fallen for Big Boss (crack, I know). Also takes place after the events of MGS2, but it's immediate as opposed to ambiguously like the above.
In fissionmailed, again, it takes place after MGS2. Is best friends with Snake, and in a relationship with Naked Snake (Big Boss).
And finally, in capslock_mgs, it's an OOC community. With some exceptions, most if not all posts from this journal will be OOC, so feel free to mess around a bit there.
Hopefully, this clears up some confusion. Sorry again for the inconvenience!
