Well, the title combined with the Hero's name clued him into where he was.

"Ah, well. I hope they hate fire then. You seem more than well equipped for that situation."

𝕯𝖎𝖓𝖗𝖆𝖆𝖑 @ofpowerandflame.bsky.social · 5d

"Yes. Name's Dinraal. I'm the Servant ta the Goddess of Power, Lady Din. And I'm the Spirit of Fire."

"Someone's gotta deal with Ganondorf's forces when Link ain't around."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"Is that where I'm at?"

A look around the surroundings then a slow nod.

"Ah, well. I'm not going to question the monster camps thing."

A glance down to the other, tilting his head. "What exactly are you?"

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 1d

"Never heard of a pop quiz? I only had to check in with the security team and then they gave me the clear."

Snake nodded, a quick glance past the other. Furrowing his brows.

Miles took his phone back.

"And why wasn't I informed of such inspection? I am the Chief Prosecutor, after all."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

The soldier leaned down to grab the device, offering it to the other.

"Well I'm supposed to make sure people report on suspicious items and dangerous things in the workplace. Was going to fail this place but with you reporting it, that brings the score up."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 1d

"Oh yeah? And I should just take your word for it?"

Snake performs a quick pat down to try and find any weapons on the other. Standing back afterwards.

"In my position, would you trust me?"

♡ °.•【 ROSE OSCURO ~ 】 @eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 5d

Rose turns around, his hands still raised.

❝ I'm a discreet man. I'm not going to get you caught. ❞

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"Fine, turn around."

Snake said, if he was going to comply then there's no need for any violence.

"You can be the thing that gets me caught, knowingly or not, that's a danger to me."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 1d

"Good thing I got here when I did then. . . Granted it wasn't my choice, but still.

Still, do you think you'll be able to outlast everyone here?"

“We don’t know who’s in charge… and if we try and attack the bear, we die.”

“Honestly I gotta thank you… I was gonna do something stupid, but talking kinda gave me time to actually think things through…”

"NGHOOOOOOH!"

He immediately dropped his phone, where a voice could be heard shouting "Sir?! Sir are you alright?!"

"What the HELL were you doing in there?!"

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

Seems like he was getting ratted out. Can't afford to get caught though.

The box is quickly flung off, Snake takes a glance over the other.

"Sorry, surprise safety inspection."

❝ Relax. I'm not armed. You can check me. ❞

He raises his hands, chewing the inside of his cheek.

❝ ... what do you want with me? I'm no danger to you. ❞

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"Don't like to leave evidence."

Snake raises an eyebrow, the other seems eager to do something with his hand.

"Got your next move thought out? I'd think very carefully about it. I can get to you before someone gets to this room."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

𝕯𝖎𝖓𝖗𝖆𝖆𝖑 @ofpowerandflame.bsky.social · 5d

"If they're in my Goddess's spring, i do."

The smaller male huffed and crossed his arms.

"That and monster camps..."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"So you go around and burn things that you think are trash?"

A moment, tapping a finger to his chin.

"Seems like textbook definition of arsonist fella."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

Snatching his hand away from the seemingly dead appendage.

"I ain't gonna die he-" The sentence was cut short when a sudden flood of pain wracked his body. Causing him to fall to his knee.

𝙵𝙾𝚄𝙽𝙳 𝚈𝙾𝚄 @something-truly.hates.lol · 5d

you grab on to whatever's holding on to your shoulder

...it feels like a cold, rotting corpse

[I AM

pain spikes through your mind and body!
[-1 ALL]

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

Snake reaches up to his shoulder, trying to grab whatever took hold of him.

The bell? A bell? Where was it coming from?

He grits his teeth, running on pure adrenaline sparked by fear.

"The hell are you?!"

❝ ... You... You wouldn't kidnap me, would you? ❞

His hand twitches. All he needs to do is hit the panic button on his earpiece...

❝ Though, you're not above sneaking around in boxes, so... ❞

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"Seems like a good friend, but he could tear up the country and wouldn't find you."

Snake replied, taking a step closer staring down the other.

"Wouldn't even find this box if I didn't want him to."

"... why were you in the box? And Im not an arsonist! If I see trash, imma burn it!"

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

The familiar smell of smoke, though not his preferred type. Snake stands up, and tosses the box off. Patting out the flames to the best of his ability.

"An arsonist?" Looks over the other once again. "Definitely look the part."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

Urp! That wasn't good! He laughs nervously.

❝ Quite- Quite the contrary! I have a friend who's a news reporter. He'll tear this city apart looking for me. ❞

Not to mention his agency. But he doesn't need to say that.

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

His eyes narrow, unsure if the other is feeding him bullshit or not.

"A regular citizen, I see. So nobody would look for you if you were taken huh?"

A tilt of his head, gauging the others reaction for the moment.

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

-weight from the box prior was definitely inhuman.

"Just a man trying to do a job. Don't think you're necessarily involved."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

A hand moved to his hip, drawing the tranquilizer weapon from it's holster. Looking at the box, ready for action when it started.

"A more serious answer huh?" A moment to think and mull it over. The sounds on the outside of the box had him wondering if it was just a kid doing graffiti, but the -

𝐍𝐀𝐎𝐊𝐈 𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀 @an-unnamed-reason.bsky.social · 5d

< the gun.

“Wanna try that one again? Maybe give a more serious answer?”

His tone is flat and unconcerned, lacking in any intentional menace.

Pulling out his phone.

"Detective. There is a suspicious box in the building. I need you to gather some officers and investigate."

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

[[READER]] did not see the box move, they're crazy. Yes it was always there next to the open doorway.

when you turn, you see nothing

but the feeling doesn't fade

and you feel something grip your shoulder

...you can hear a bell toll as the darkness closes in

[WHO WERE
YOU TRYING
TO FOOL]

[Encountered SOMETHING TRULY EVIL!]

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

This feels like one of Mantis' illusions he'd heard about back in the day. Eyes locked onto the face, petrified by that ominous feeling.

Instinctively he stands, reaching for a weapon on his hip, finding the comforting grip of his SOCOM. One fluid motion he draws and takes aim behind him.

A face obscured in darkness except for the eyes, which stare directly into you

Suddenly, the box is lifted away and you are left in a pitch black environment

you can't see anything besides the face and yourself

but you can feel something

behind you

"It is the most peaceful place in the whole world.

The box is a place of safety, and comfort. An ideal tool for any agent in the field."

Majjy @mujuraofchaos.bsky.social · 5d

“Majora.”

He looked to the soldier. Then, the box.

“I will admit that looked fun. It’s like pretending you’re in another world.”

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"You're not wrong about that, if it comes up I'll let you know."

He looks like a kid but. . . Doesn't give off the vibe.

"What's your name?"

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"Sure is."

Smoking down the cigarette, he snubs it out on the wall before flicking it into a trashcan.

"As someone who advocates for less violent solutions, you might have to do it. Unfortunately. Or just kill the person in charge."

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝟙𝟘𝟘𝟘 𝔹𝕝𝕠𝕨𝕤 @11037-kuwata.bsky.social · 5d

“No… just us fifteen in here… today Monokuma, the bear thing, showed us all DVDs to try and make us kill… showing friends and family, since we won’t know if they are safe until we get out… and only way out is to start his killing game… whoever set this up is sick and twisted…”

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

"This feels way too coordinated for some kid to have just snapped. All those weapons, backup bodies and the rest of these preparations all take time to pull off. Don't know what happened but it definitely has all the bases covered."

He blows out the smoke off to the side.

"Anyone escaped yet?"

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

Well. .. Better than expected. However, he still steps out and re-tapes it. Afterwards, he will resume his operation of getting to the back of the house.

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

❝ I'm... ❞

Rose purses his lips. This guy is clearly an agent of some sort. But he can't just say that he is too.

❝ ... why would I have a weapon, sir? I'm just an ordinary citizen! ❞

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

Blue eyes look him up and down, taking him in. Slowly he tucks the knife into his sheathe.

"I'm following a lead, heard something I'm looking for is here."

Snake folds his arms over his chest.

"Why wouldn't you have a weapon on you?"

SNAKE @solidsneaking.bsky.social · 5d

Time to tuck in for the night! I'll get to replies tomorrow!! Thank you all for the replies
