This isn't right. Not that background music for one's everyday life is a typical occurrence, mind you. But this, this music is Not Right. That's with capital letters, by the way, to underscore the not right-ness of the situation.

Now I don't think whatever's playing this background music would just suddenly switch to rather threatening tones without reason. So I have to think that perhaps something is coming.

Maybe several somethings. Maybe a flock, or a fleet, or a similarly alliterative name for a group of Somethings. That's with another capital, because I don't think this is just a something, this is a Something.

Which leaves the question, just what is this Something and how do we stop it? Questions. Plural.

Well, aren't we all lucky.

There's a Doctor in the house.

Then you're the kind that jabs medicine in?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Well, no. Not really.

I'm just the Doctor. Again, with a capital letter. It's important that way.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

The Doctor, huh.

Well, I'm Snake. With a capital S.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Snake? That's a bit different. So tell me, what do you make of this sudden shift in atmosphere?

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Every part of my body hurts.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

That's a little vague, really.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hnn... It feels bad. [Rubs his head.] I can't really explain it, but experience has taught me that when the music changes or stops, and things get really dark...

Something bad is going to happen.

[8| snake you are master of the obvious.]

Yes, think we all reached that conclusion already.

[HE'S TRYING ALRIGHT]

.... You asked me what I thought, so I told you. [psyche gauge droppin'...]

Then let me pose this question, my serpentine friend: Who or what do you think is behind said foreboding events?

THE PATRIOTS

Nn... People are saying ghosts, I'm not really sure yet. All I know is that whatever or whoever it is, my own team of Pokemon are looking pretty uneasy. If the perpetrator can make a giant rock snake scared, then they've gotta be tough.

[ Shakes his head. ] I'm out of my environment here... I don't know what to expect.

Adric's looking a touch unusual himself. Then again, he's a bit unusual overall, so I'm not sure what to make of that.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

What is he?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Called an Abra, so I'm told. Little floating brown thing, sleeps a lot.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Oh, Otacon was tripping all over the place trying to get one of those.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

...Does everyone you know have one-word names?

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hn. It's a nickname.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Like 'Snake', I'm guessing?

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Nno, that's a codename.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Codename?

...You're a soldier of some kind, then? Secret agent? That sort of thing?

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I was. I've been in retirement, but I always get pulled back.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

...hm. Never much of a fan of soldiers, myself. Well, mainly the guns.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[ i love guns ] You don't look like a guy that'd know how to use them.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[you enjoy all the killing] Of course I know. I know everything.

I just don't do it.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[NOOOOOO- okay maybe a little]

You know everything.
