(12:47:21 AM) Hebi: OS: ... :C
(12:47:34 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: :|
(12:47:46 AM) Hebi: OS: Sorry. |||:C
(12:48:00 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I forgive you.
(12:54:11 AM) Hebi: OS: Hnn?
(12:54:26 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: *hugs* For everything.
(12:54:46 AM) Hebi: OS: ... Hn... *quietly returns the hug*
(12:55:22 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...I wouldn't replace either you or James for the world.
(12:55:45 AM) Hebi: OS: Liquid? He's always hated us... At least, before I had a talk with him...
(12:56:15 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: Even so... I still wouldn't.
(12:59:03 AM) Hebi: OS: ... Three Snakes... brought into being to erase the crimes of our creators. ... I guess we're to stick together, no matter what happens.
(1:00:42 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...no one can escape their sins. Not us... and not those who made us. *hugs just a little tighter* We're... family, right?
(1:00:56 AM) eccentricaspie: (...this song always makes me think of MGS)
(1:01:49 AM) eccentricaspie: (Bits of it remind me of different parts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cra3tC9Ppb4 Katayoku no Tori.)
(1:02:12 AM) Hebi: OS: ... Yeah. *leans on him somewhat* We are.
(1:02:55 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: No matter what happens... I won't lose my big brothers again. Or myself, either.
(1:03:12 AM) Hebi: OS: ... We seem to have this conversation a lot...
(1:03:44 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I mean in more ways than one. Not just death. Brother... if I slip back into old ways... I want you to stop me.
(1:04:08 AM) Hebi: OS: ... Old ways? Do you mean... like with Raiden?
(1:04:16 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...yes.
(1:05:10 AM) Hebi: OS: Hnn... You want me to stop you, huh? *rests his chin on Solidus' shoulder* That's a pretty tall order. Why do you think it'll happen?
(1:05:52 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I... I lost myself with him, the other day. He was angry, and said some stupid things... and I just lost it.
(1:06:11 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I hurt him. Not badly, but I could have. He was defenceless and I just...
(1:14:02 AM) Hebi: OS: ... *Backs off, rubbing his head* Ohh, Solidus...
(1:14:39 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: *steps back too, sinking down to sit against the wall* ...someone like me... shouldn't have been given this freedom.
(1:15:24 AM) Hebi: OS: We're not free yet. We all have our jobs to do. We're not free from our cages.
(1:16:05 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...heh. Perhaps you're right, brother. But I don't know what my job is, anymore.
(1:16:18 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I guess I truly am... just another puppet...
(1:17:10 AM) Hebi: OS: *kneels in front of him, planting his hand firmly on Solidus' shoulder* Free the people from their control. That's your job. There's always a chance you'll succeed, despite what you've been shown here.
(1:17:23 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...you're right.
(1:23:44 AM) Hebi: OS: I've fallen on my face enough here for you to understand that.
(1:24:30 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: Heh. That's true.
(1:28:01 AM) Hebi: OS: ... If you need me to stop you, I'll try. I won't make promises. *Looks at him seriously* But you have strength to stop yourself, too.
(1:28:47 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...I do? *raises an eyebrow, staring at him*
(1:31:33 AM) Hebi: OS: You're a survivor, Solidus. You always have been. You were forced to be an idol, but you knew that wasn't your true raison d'etre. You had another calling, and you went for it, no matter what the Patriots said about you to try and garner hatred against you. A lot of men would have never made it as far as you have.
(1:32:04 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...hm. You're right.
(1:33:42 AM) Hebi: OS: We've all done things we're not proud of... Things we'd rather never existed. But that doesn't mean we do not have the strength to carry on. I'm an old killer, doing dirty work left over by others... I'm called a hero for killing thousands of people. I'm dying, I'm a target... But I have a job to do, and that's what keeps me going. You were willing to give your life for the world... and that is something I keep close to my heart.
(1:34:07 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...brother... *hugs, suddenly*
(1:34:42 AM) Hebi: OS: *holds him close*
(1:35:34 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: *seems happier*
(1:40:09 AM) Hebi: OS: *pats him on the back*
(1:40:20 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: *seems much less distressed*
(1:42:49 AM) Hebi: OS: *well that's good*
(1:43:11 AM) Hebi: OS: You're different from us, Solidus. You aren't Solid... or Liquid. You have a chance in the light.
(1:44:10 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...I've always just... been their puppet. Even when I thought I was free, I turned out to be their puppet still. But if there's a chance I can fix things... if there's even a chance I can stop them, I'm going to try.
(1:45:04 PM): Hebi: OS: I didn't think you'd quit on us that easily. You're stubborn... just like a Snake. *smiles a bit*
(1:49:06 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: *smiles a little, back* I'm nobody's puppet now. I can use this information I've been granted. Change everything, before it's too late.
(1:52:11 AM) Hebi: OS: That's the brother I shot at. *he's trying to be humorous. He grips Solidus' shoulder tightly* Don't give up on me.
(1:53:11 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: For a while, in this place... I almost forgot who I was, I think. I forgot what I was fighting for. It seemed almost as if there was no purpose to it. But you're right. I can't give up. Not ever. I refuse to let them win.
(1:53:52 AM) Hebi: OS: I've been through that too many times... I think that's... partially what killed me. I seem to talk a lot more than I act here... That needs to change.
(2:04:39 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: Yes. This cycle has to end. *straightens up* Both of us were lost in this place. It's understandable. The sudden change, the sudden illusion of freedom... but as long as our reasons for fighting remain, we cannot surrender to it.
(2:07:06 AM) Hebi: OS: *nods* Perhaps you should ask for training time with Master Miller.
(2:07:34 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: ...hmph. Miller would have no reason to train me.
(2:08:27 AM) Hebi: OS: No reason? That man lives for training. It's something I know he'd never turn down.
(2:08:54 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: No reason to train myself specifically.
(2:16:27 AM) Hebi: OS: ... If you don't want to be trained you can just say so.
(2:16:47 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: That isn't the case.
(2:17:03 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I simply see no reason why such an undoubtably busy man would accept a request from me.
(2:17:28 AM) Hebi: OS: Just tell him you were the President. *pokes fun.*
(2:18:07 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: *laughs* I can see that going along well. "I'm Solid Snake's younger brother and the president of the USA, will you train me?". *grin* But I'll ask, anyway.
(3:31:06 AM) Hebi: OS: I think it'd be a good idea for you to ask at least.
(3:31:19 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I'll ask, then, if I encounter him.
(12:47:34 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: :|
(12:47:46 AM) Hebi: OS: Sorry. |||:C
(12:48:00 AM) eccentricaspie: Solidus: I forgive you.
