Chapter 2
That same night, Snake is watching television while sitting in a recliner. Otacon is on his computer, playing games and surfing the internet. Snake is watching cartoons when someone knocks at the front door. Hal goes to answer it.
Hal (opens door and sees who it is): Hi Fortune! It's been a while, what do you need?
Fortune: Oh, it's just a small thing I want.
Hal: So you don't want us to kill you?
Fortune: Otacon, you're an idiot! I've given up on dying. I realized that when my mom killed herself, it wasn't worth getting all sad about. Shoot, I'm actually glad I don't have a kid now, and my dad was a jerk! I was never able to stay out as long as I wanted to.
Snake: Shut up! I'm trying to watch something in here! (Snake pops another beer and starts watching his cartoons again. Nearly inaudible giggles can be heard coming from him)
Fortune (whispering): How long has he been like that?
Hal: What do you mean? He's always like that, watching cartoons and such.
Fortune: (pointing) Just look at what he's watching!
Hal looks at the television and he sees hoards of cute, little anime hamsters. They are all inside a little tree-house club and they are all listening to a slightly larger hamster who is wearing a hard-hat. They all seem to be doing some dance.
Hal: . That's. Hamtaro!
Fortune: Whato?
Hal: It's a crazy show for kids. Hey, Snake, what's up?
Snake: Shhh!! Leave me alone! . Wait, while you're up, can you get me a beer?
Hal (handing Snake a cold one): Here you go. Hey Snake. Snake! Look at me.
Snake peels his eyes from the TV.
Hal: We have company.
Snake: Hi Fortune.
Fortune: Snake, we meet again at last!
Snake: What are you talking about, we've been neighbors in this run-down apartment complex for two years! Hal, have you seen my Socom around?
Hal: I think Raiden still has it. That reminds me, aren't we supposed to call the hospital to see if he's ok?
Snake/Fortune: .
Hal: Snake, please think of Olga. What do you think she would think if she found out her kid died because of the Patriots?
Snake: I don't think Olga cares.
Suddenly a knock on the door. Snake peels himself off of his recliner and gets it, because Hal and Fortune are already sitting down and Otacon made Snake a deal that if he got the door at least once a day, he would continue Snake's internet porn subscription.
Snake: I knew it would be you.
Olga: Hi to you to, Snake. I do care about my kid.
Snake: Wait, how'd you know I said that?
Hal: Snake, what are you talking about? We argued that she had hidden surveillance cameras strategically positioned in our apartment.
Snake: And this just proves I was right on.
Hal (sighs): Snake, I was the one who found the camera, not you.
Snake (stares at Hal): . Wait, you're right. My bad.
Olga: Fortune, what are you doing here?
Fortune: Oh yeah, I was here for something. Now I cant remember.
Snake: Can you guy's go in the kitchen, you're killin' my buzz!
Hal walks into the kitchen with the eyes of Fortune and Olga following him. He returns shortly with a bottle of imported Vodka.
Hal (whispers to Olga): Sorry, but it will shut him up if he gets to drink some of his hard stuff. Maybe he'll pass out or something.
Olga: But I gave that to you guys for Christmas!
Hal: Olga, do you really think it would have lasted that long.
Olga: Well, actually, I'm surprised that it's lasted this long.
Hal: It was the only thing left in our booze cabinet. I need to make a run tomorrow for Snake.
Snake: Fortune, have you heard from Vamp? He claims to be a "paramedic" and captures people and takes them back to his butcher shop. He also has a Hospital radio scanner.
Hal: Snake, you said earlier that it was just the butcher guy with a hospital scanner.
Snake: Right, what did I say?
