You don't see anything, READER.

Long drag of his cigarette, looking down below at the city below him.

Standing at his balcony, robe, cigarette and some nice scotch. A nice end to an evening.

❗❗ Completely have gotten bombarded with stuff irl here sorry for the lack of replies!!!

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."

"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.

"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?"

"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?"

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."

"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."

"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?"

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.

"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."

Let the Mercenary come find YOU! Business is expanding!

"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."

"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."

-weight from the box prior was definitely inhuman.

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

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 -

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."

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?!"

"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."

"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."

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.

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.
