Snake's Return (Open)

[Big Boss]

I walk silently towards the lights and sounds of a local bar, infamously named "The Pub"

"I haven't been around here in what seems like years", I thought, thought it had only been two or three months since I disappeared to take car of business, though it wasn't without its bumps in the road.

As to further allude to what he was talking about, Snake glanced up at a nearby light, briefly showing a scar that appeared above his left eye and down his face, the eye is still there. He brought his hood of the trenchcoat he was wearing down further as he continued walking to the bar.

"I wonder if anyone would remember me" he thought as he pulled open the door to the bar. Inside, "The Pub" was bustling with activity. In one corner there was some pole dancing /lap dancers debauchery going on. Throughout most of the bar were poker and blackjack tables with few winners and many losers. Snake walked over to the jukebox and deposited a few quarters in and chose the song "Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard.

Smiling as he hears the beginning notes to the song, Snake pulled his trenchcoat in tighter so no one sees the sword he is carrying. He sat down at the corner of the bar and ordered a Budweiser as he lowered his hood slowly and slowly scanned the room

[Trickster]

Trickster had been following the flow of the city, knowing that there was sure to be trouble here. It sent shivers down her body, feeling the beat of the city. It excited her like nothing else did. They thought it was a punishment to be trapped here, but it was nothing of the short. She had dressed up different for the occasion, though her human form stuck out a lot more, auburn hair falling down her back, sharp green eyes looking out. She had decided to wear jeans, a blue tube top to cover up the rest of her body.

Entering a bar Trickster looked around, searching for trouble. Her eyes glittered as she spotted a male curled up in a corner by himself. He was definitely worth investigating. Trickster swayed over, lips curled into a playful smile. "Care for some company?"

[Big Boss]

Snake slowly turned to see who said that. One eye surveyed her up and down. Clearly she was out for fun, but Snake sensed that she is not as she seems. In any case, he had made his decision.

"If you want" he said calmly and deeply, slowly turning back to the bar whilst taking a drink from his bottle, wondering if the person he wants to see will show up.

[Trickster]

He was surprisingly calm, surveying her form. Trickster grinned happily, knowing that he wouldn't find fault with her appearance. She knew how she looked, even if she couldn't manipulate her appearance the same way she used to be able to. He pulled from a drink that he'd bought, and Trickster quickly slipped it away from him into her own hands, sipping away at it. She pulled a slight face. A bit too spicy for her. Well, she could change that. It took no more than a slight tug, and it was changed. Taking another sip Trickster smiled. That was what she liked. The best part was it wasn't an illusion, so no concentration needed to hold it to that form.

[Big Boss]

Snake sighed and reached out and slapped the bottle out of this girls hand. "Just because I let you sit here doesn't mean you can do what you want. I payed for that and if you want to waste a perfectly good drink you can get your own." He waved to the bartender for another beer and caught it when it was thrown at him. Snake popped off the top with his thumb and took a quick drink before turning back to her. "If you're here to have fun, that's fine. But if you're here to play games and horse around, I suggest you leave."

Snake turned back to the bar and took a long drink and set it back down, keeping a firm grip on it.

[Trickster]

The bottle was hit, shattering on the ground. Trickster's eyes widened. No! She'd just made it the way she liked it, and he broke it. Glaring at him she straightened. "I can do as I wish." She always had. That wasn't to say there weren't consequences, such as her banishment. Trickster just didn't learn from them, and kept on making the same mistake. She c*cked her head at his words, a little confused. "How else are you supposed to have fun?" She was still a little mad, and worked at weaving into his body, changing his hair color to a shocking green.

[Big Boss]

Faster than light, Snake grabbed her hand to stop any other changes made to him. "I can tell you how you're doing it wrong; you do things as you wish with no thought for anyone else, never knowing if you're making them mad or not. Stop messing with me. If you are interested in me, talk to me, if you're only going to play games and mess with me then I suggest you find a fool." He shook his hair firmly to return his hair to the jet black it originally was.

Snake let go of her hand and took another drink, motioning with his head that it was still ok to sit with him.

[Trickster]

Her hand was grabbed, startling Trickster. She stood still, looking down at the strong hand grasping her. Lips curled into a smile, amused by the reaction even as she acknowledged how dangerous the situation she was in was. Trickster glanced up to the male, shrugging her shoulders lightly at his words. "Why would I care for others?" There was no need for that now, was there. The green was shaken off, and her hand released. Trickster smiled, amused that he allowed her to stay and chat as if she hadn't done anything at all. "Where did you return from?"

[Big Boss]

Snake glanced slightly at this girl. "I returned from a land called Galalia. I had some previous unfinished business that called me back there for quite some time. Why would you care? Its apparent that you don't care about anyone." He said calmly before taking another drink.

"Who are you anyway?" he asked, surveying her one more time.

[Trickster]

Galalia. Not a place that she'd been to. Well, she'd get there eventually. There was no rush. It wasn't like she was going to die before seeing it. Her curiosity satisfied Trickster returned to surveying the area. "I care because you're different." She could sense it in him, intriguing her and holding her attention. Why was he different? What could he do that held her there, waiting to see it? "Terra. Just someone wandering through."

[Big Boss]

Snake finished his drink and set it down. "You missed my question, WHY do you care, Terra? There's nothing special about me." he spoke, a little bitterly.

Snake waived to the bartender for another Bud which popped open himself with a little wave over it and started drinking again. "What do you want with me?"

[Trickster]

Nothing special? It appeared this human was ignorant, as well as too serious. Laughing Trickster shook her head, leaning back. "Nothing special? It appears someone doesn't know what he is. Whatever you are, it is definitely intriguing. More than enough to hold me here." Trickster was tempted to steal his drink again but curved the temptation, instead of creating the illusion of money to get herself a free drink. Well, why not go farther. Get herself a meal as well. The bartender was suspicious at first, knowing that not everything in the city was as it appeared, but a well placed wink solved that, the illusion pocketed away. "Just to play. To watch you respond to my games." Trickster might not be malicious, but that didn't mean she cared for others.

[Big Boss]

"I definitely know what I am, and it ain't anything special." Snake said calmly. "Am I just a toy to you? I don't play games." He reached into his coat and pulled out two blue gel pills and swallowed them, calming the headache that was building. It had been a long day for Snake, and he just wanted to have fun. Instead he got a little fallen dieity, only here for games and his power. He sighed as he watched her attain some food by cheating. With a little growl in his stomach he decided to order a hamburger and took a drink while he waited.
