⚕ // symphony of the new world
Characters: Liquid and everyone that wants to put up with him.
Setting: Various floors around the Tower.
Format: Whichever you prefer.
Summary: I lost my nerd. I want him back.
Warnings: One cranky soldier that chews scenery like everyone else played by Cam Clarke.
[Dormitory Floors]
[A soldier in uniform was stalking about the floor today, glancing around every time he happened to pass an open door or new hallway. He didn't seem lost, exactly--more like he was very intently looking for something or someone.]
[Every so often he'd raise a hand to press against a spot just behind his ear, pause, then look either discouraged or irritated for some unknown reason.]
[F27, Laboratory]
[In his cautious searching, Liquid came across a laboratory. He didn't dare call it familiar, but...if he was going to find what he was after, it would probably be somewhere like this. If you want to find a tree, look in a forest. If you want to find a scientist, look in a laboratory.]
...Otacon?
[Dammit, that little nerd was going to get an earful of annoyed British soldier when Liquid found him.]
[F14, Media Room]
[This was getting ridiculous. Liquid didn't believe for a second that his world was destroyed; in his mind, it simply wasn't possible. That would mean he'd failed, and Liquid Snake never failed.]
[Except for when he did.]
[But it wasn't possible. He couldn't have failed this time. Otacon and Raiden had to be around somewhere. Why couldn't his codec send out any kind of signal to them? Liquid was intent on working this out to some conclusion that made sense, finding logic where there was none readily apparent. He had to focus, to determine what he was missing. Find whatever lost and hidden facts completed this mad little puzzle.]
[To anyone watching, however, he would have just seemed to be listening to the quiet music playing nearby with a distant and serious expression.]
[F3, Library]
['When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.']
[Liquid had accepted a great deal of improbable things this morning. He accepted he was in an otherworldly tower. He accepted that universes and worlds existed far beyond the Earth he came from in 2009. But what he refused to accept was the idea that he could possibly be completely cut off from Otacon. They'd never been apart in nearly five years; everywhere one half of Philanthropy went, the other followed whether through radio or in person.]
[For the thirty-sixth time that day, Liquid tried to dial Otacon's codec frequency--141.12, just as it always had been. But he couldn't so much as send a signal, as though it was jammed somehow. Leaning back against the nearest shelf, the blond soldier scowled and cursed under his breath.]
[The one improbable thing he would never accept was that he could be all that remained of Philanthropy and the world they were trying to save.]

no subject
[Liquid glanced over at that, having been paying more attention to his thoughts than any company.]
...oh hey this was a thing, wasn't it
Sonata wanted to know when you were gonna be finished listening to this! But...
[And then she stares back up at the ceiling, looking quite surprised.]
...but it's pretty good.
whooooops
[Liquid crossed his arms, tone informative without yet being condescending.]
Change it if you like, it hardly makes a difference to me.
no subject
No... no, it's good to listen to. We never had music like this on Dunestar.
[Sonata rolls onto her side, so she can look at him and not just the ceiling. They were talking now, right? Even if it was over the music.]
Is this from where you're from?
