[The feed snaps on to show a rather tired and burnt Liquid Snake. Yep, those are small burn marks on his chest and face from where he tried to kill someone and it backfired. Literally. His target had pyrotechnics skills and he had no defence it seemed. The blond is rather apprehensive when he addresses his phone screen.]

I trust the gods have had their fun now after their little "game." For the poor girl I went after and tried to kill I am deeply sorry. Believe me, I had no interest in killing anyone until Rage tried to force me into assassinating someone.

[He hardly knew the girl's name. Was it Rey? Something like that. He caresses his face where there is a red mark going down his cheek. It was like he could still feel the heat where she burst into flame.]

For everyone's sakes I hope that nothing like this happens again. I'm tired of being a pawn in this sick game of yours. Yes, you. The gods that you may be.

[His voice directed at the gods obviously.] I just wanted to say sorry is all.

Think you're wasting your time hoping that, honestly.

[liquid_serpent]

Oh? What makes you say that?

[Because Liquid hated wasting time doing anything.]

y o U LIVE????

[liquid_serpent]

Krieg? Yes, I'm alive. Are you alright?

[fleshing]

huRTS SO GOO D
HAVEN'T k ickED THE BUCKE TERS YET

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid is actually amazed that Krieg can text using the phone. His speech is disjointed but he didn't care. His friend was alive.]

Good. None of us are going to kick the bucket, Krieg. We're still alive and we can have our revenge on these gods.

[fleshing]

wh EEEEEERE ARE THEY???????

[video]

[tongueamok]

Might I suggest you acquire a shirt or a tunic to cover those burns? Or at least some bandages.

[liquid_serpent]

I don't know but I damn well want to find out. They're cowards hiding away from us like this.

[liquid_serpent]

[Oh God. You again. The one who hates shirtless men. The grumpy Scot.]

As to your answer that would be a no.

[tongueamok]

Well, you don't get to complain should you get an infection.

love this icon Carlisle :P

[liquid_serpent]

My body won't get an infection from these burns since it has a faster healing rate than most. I am a genome soldier, son of Big Boss. This is nothing to what I can really withstand.

[Showing off? Yep.]

nope.avi

[tongueamok]

[Insert the most unimpressed look in the universe here.]

... Right. And I'm Carlisle Longinmouth, son of Kevin Longinmouth, practitioner of the Clarity and heir of the Longinmouth estate. And you know what I can't stand? People who ignore good medical advice.

[fleshing]

CRUS H THEM KI LLLLL THEM HATE TAHATE HATE HATE

[dedikated]

Because I don't trust this place. [ Because it's been unleashing weird shit since her first day here. ]

[ Oh. This is the guy Rey mentioned. That makes sense. ]

Don't need to apologize. Especially to the woman you attacked. We were all messed up by Rage's game. Apologies are implied. Though you do seem like the kind to play with fire, even without the assistance of an outside influence.

You might just want to leave her alone from now on.

[ Damen looks like he's gone a few rounds with a heavyweight. Even at that, his bruises are nowhere near what they were a week ago. And they're not burns, which he thinks justifies his complaint to Snake. ]

You should have those treated.

The burns. They look painful.

[liquid_serpent]

I don't blame you. Ever since arriving here something or someone's been out to attack me or cause me to attack someone else. I feel like a caged animal taught to fight other animals.

[liquid_serpent]

Yes, I believe everyone hates these so called "gods." They take it as their delight to make us turn on one another, which I think is pathetic. They need a new hobby. Are you alright, Krieg?

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid sighed. Perhaps, he should get his wounds healed up.]

Alright. If I did want these treated where would I go and who would I see? I didn't even think the gods would allow a doctor in this world, since they seem to enjoy hurting and pain so much.

[liquid_serpent]

Rage, hm? Well, I definitely felt rage when I attacked the poor girl. To be honest I don't know what came over me.

[He hated not being in charge of his own thoughts and body.]

You could say I am a dangerous man but that depends in what context. My name is Liquid Snake. Who might you be?

[liquid_serpent]

Perhaps I should. I'm still angry at being treated like an animal in their game. Were you used also? Did you kill anyone?

[He had to know.]

[fleshing]

lIVING LIKE A HHHHAPPPY SKAG

[liquid_serpent]

A happy.....skag? What's a skag?

[tongueamok]

There is a Doctor here -- Doctor Banner. And a healer as well, though their name escapes me at the moment. Perhaps you could try them.

[Yep. And those are the only two people who can help Liquid. They certainly are.]

[fleshing]

big big mURDER THING!!!!
good



for


mMMmmmmmMEAT!!!

[liquid_serpent]

Right. I may find them if these burns do not heal. [He may be angry but he's not stupid enough to want an infection.]

Did you say you were a practitioner of the Clarity? What in god's name is that?

[tongueamok]

[G O D L E S S   H E A T H E N.]

She is a goddess, not a god. [Way to misunderstand that in your moment of religious ardor, Carlisle.] I am a clergyman in the service of the Camisou.

[liquid_serpent]

You eat these creatures from back where you come from?

[Because Liquid got the impression that Krieg liked killing and eating these things. Killing especially perhaps?]

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid scoffed slightly. So this guy was some sort of priest? Oh great.]

Forgive me, your reverence. I had no idea you were some sort of religious man. Might I ask what the Camisou is? I'm sure it's delightful whatever it is. [Can you hear the sarcasm? Sorry, Liquid is an asshole.]

[fleshing]

i eaTT

meAAAAT!!!!!!!

oFFFFF everY SO RRT OF steAK!!!!

[liquid_serpent]

Does it taste good?

[Liquid had gotten to know Krieg better now so knew what sort of answers he'd give.]

[fleshing]

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Honestly, if it's edible, it counts as good in his book. That's about all his criteria is.]

[tongueamok]

Not an 'it.' She. And she a goddess.

[Because that is a perfectly clear explanation for him as to what she is, apparently.]

oh gods, so sorry for this XD

[liquid_serpent]

Is that so? Then perhaps you'd like to explain what she is all about, since it's obvious you're getting quite worked up over nothing.

[He's actually enjoying teasing you, Carlisle. Because he can.]

[liquid_serpent]

Is a skag a type of herd animal like a goat or cow or is it different?

[Liquid wondered if all people and animals were like Krieg back home. Rather aggressive, loud and blood thirsty.]

[fleshing]

bIG PACKS

eaaaaT you

[watashinonamaewa]

In that context you should know that you were the poor boy in danger. Not her. She's far more dangerous than you could be.

Like I said. You'd better leave her alone, Liquid Snake.

To be fair, he is a super religious dude who worships a toothy monster.

[tongueamok]

I am not getting 'worked up over nothing!' She is the goddess who created the world -- the one I come from -- and she governs the returning souls as they come to rest within her!

[liquid_serpent]

I am no poor boy. Do not call me that.

[Even as a boy he wanted to be a man grown before his time. He was fed up of adults telling him what to do.]

She has skill with fire I'll give her that. Yet, I never wished to harm her in the first place. I am sorry for aggravating her. You can be assured I will leave her alone unless I feel myself wanting to become barbeque for the day.

[Injured pride? Yep.]

[liquid_serpent]

So, they are a pack animal of sorts. Do you hunt them with your axe back home?

Re: Hehe that's different

[liquid_serpent]

Is she now? How fascinating. You actually believe this load of rubbish? [Liquid scoffed. So rude.]

[tongueamok]

It isn't rubbish, you heathen. She might not exist within the boundaries of whatever godless land you come from, but she certainly exists in mine.

[watashinonamaewa]

And she isn't a poor girl either. Yet you said that a few times now, haven't you?

[ See what she did there? ]

There's no need to apologize for what Rage did. Calling her out publicly like she was the victim is something else.

[ No one messes with her best friend, bruh. Cibs ain't havin' it. ]

Could have killed you. Didn't. Just don't make it sound like something it wasn't. Be thankful and move on.

[fleshing]

AXE!!!!!!

baNNG GUN!!!

roaaaaaaad ki i iiiLLLLLLLLL

[barbarus]

No. But it was a close thing. I didn't kill, and was not killed. I didn't expect to come close to either, but there it is.

[ A quiet pause. ]

Don't blame yourself, Snake.

[dedikated]

So there's no point in hoping that they'll leave us alone. Got to get their meals in.
