Characters: Big Boss and You.
Setting: Dormitories, Cafeteria, the Graveyard, Storage Room (Floor 40) and Anywhere Else.
Format: Prose or action, whichever you prefer.
Summary: Snake arrives in the tower-- And that after eleven months spent alone on his dead homeworld following his short-lived stay in the tower last year. Big Boss may be somewhat paranoid after this year spent alone; but needless to say this tower is much better than his dead homeworld.
Warnings: This man may teach you how to use a gun if given an occasion. Aka no real warnings.



• Dormitories (Corridors)
A man dressed with a battle dress uniform and holding a handgun could be seen cautiously exiting room 02-20 early in the morning. He looked at his surroundings quite warily, pointing the handgun in whichever direction he looked at. After such a long period of time spent alone on a ravaged planet (nearly a full year now), Big Boss was somewhat more paranoid and cautious than usual.

Upon seeing the same corridors he had seen a year ago, he suspiciously looked around for one more minute or so before finally lowering his gun. Either he was hallucinating (and this was to be expected), either he was back in this weird tower after all that time. Hopefully this was the later-- His situation was bad enough, he could do without hallucinating. Besides anything would be better than his dead homeworld.

After some more looks left and right, Big Boss would finally lean against a wall, pondering on the situation and his miraculous return to this place as he slowly took a cigar from a pocket and was about to light it up...

No lighter.

They gave him cigars but no lighter or matchstick to lit them. Fantastic. He grunted and sighed, finding something to lit his smokes would be his priority now.


• Cafeteria (Floor 01)
Hungry as he was, it didn't take long before he decided to stop by the Cafeteria. Before long Big Boss would be sitting at a table, looking at his lavender meatballs and poking at them with a fork. Now that was weird. Flower food? That couldn't be worse than your average MSF ration, but... Maybe he was really hallucinating all of this.

"You've got to be kidding me..."

Who ate that kind of stuff anyway? Though the true question was, who cooked that kind of stuff? Oh well. He took a bite of it and winced. ... Not exactly to his tastes.


• Graveyard (Floor 48)
This floor was quite disturbing, as were all graveyards to him ever since a certain accident eleven years ago. When he engaged into the floor Big Boss quickly looked over the names on the graveyards-- None of them rang a bell to him. He frowned slightly upon reading the name on one of the headstones: Liquid Snake. Sounded vaguely familiar with his own codename, but this was probably a pure coincidence and entirely unrelated to himself or his world.

Looking at an anonymous tombstone with no name he paused for a moment-- Thinking to one very familiar tombstone he had visited years ago. After a moment standing before that empty tombstone, he would move back to the stairs.


• Storage Room (Floor 40)
Now that was what he was talking about. Boxes. Without a doubt the most interesting floor in this entire tower. Naturally, most residents would probably be disappointed upon finding a floor filled with naught but shelves and empty boxes. Every residents maybe, but not Big Boss-- The empty boxes themselves were this room's treasure.

And what treasure! That was a child-like excitement that Big Boss looked over the various boxes in the search for the perfect cardboard box-- The one that would suit his hiding needs within the tower all while offering proper and adequate protection against enemy fire.

If you are to pass by this floor late enough, you may get to see him trying a cardboard box and hiding under it. After all, that feeling of inner peace you feel when covered by a cardboard box, simply cannot be beaten. Truly there isn't anything a cardboard box cannot do.


• Anywhere Else
Throughout the week, you may find Big Boss with an assault riffle in hands, exploring the various floors of the tower. Either those that did not exist back when he last was here, either re-discovering those he had visited back then.

His exploration method was mostly the same with each floor. Whenever he approached the entrance of a floor, he stopped by the staircase, discreetly looking inside. If there were no apparent danger, he would then walk in with his assault riffle ready to fire, before lowering the weapon once he had confirmed no monsters were in sight.

If there were monsters, he'd try to avoid them. Ammo was hard to come by here.

"...Okay."

Carefully, Aleph picked out another cardboard box, and crawled under it.

"Like this?"
alephbet: (Past the wondering eyes of the ones)

"It is quieter in here..."

Maybe there was something to this. "But, I still feel a little silly."
alephbet: (And they won't wait)

Though Big Boss couldn't see it, Aleph raised an eyebrow.

"I wonder how I got so far without it if it's really that useful."

"Can't argue with that."

Well, he could, it just probably wouldn't work.
alephbet: (That's why)

"What's your name? I'm Aleph."

At least they could come to that understanding.
alephbet: (Well the slow boat leaves at one)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-05-12 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Likewise. Uh, is it Boss, or Big Boss, or Big...?"

Hey, it could be any of the three.
alephbet: (I'll be here to hold your hand)

"Big Boss works. Nice to meet you."
alephbet: (And they won't wait)

"How long have you been in the Tower?"
alephbet: (Why get in line)

Aleph nods. He gets it. "So you don't need the newcomer spiel."
alephbet: (As he who is the one)

"So I guess if there's nothing I can help you with..."

Awkward turtle. He doesn't know how to not do the help everyone protag thing.

"Alright. Take care."

He'll just leave then, wondering what that was about in his head.
