[Video Post]

[lovebloomsonabattlefield]

[There is a smiling face looking at the camera, Otacon is playing with it for a few seconds in complete fascination before talking.]

H-hello! My name is Otacon, and I somehow ended up to this school just a few weeks ago. I'm still not sure why it happened. I'm a bit overwhelmed by everything here, this place is so fascinating! A bit dangerous at times, like that huge talking dragon.... [He pushes up his glasses.]

I'm just...very fascinated by it all. This school is nothing like I have seen in my life! It's just like one of my japanese animes where half of the students are aliens! Not that I am calling you all aliens, please don't take this the wrong way, I mean no disrespect, I promise. But everyone treats all of these events as if it was normal. Even Snake laughed when I told him about time travel and he just brushed it off! Now, I know he's used to the unusual but to call a pair of giant talking hands perfectly normal...

You all know who Snake is right? I'm his friend! [He points to himself with a smile, and then pushes his glasses up again, Otacon you are so stupid]

A-anyway, I think I'm just rambling at this point. I was never a good public speaker. I was never good with a public either... S-so I'll be teaching Driver's Education and I'll be aiding with computer repairs. I think the previous Otacon taught that, so they just said I would take over his duties? I don't understand why a school needs driver's education in the first polace when so many of you must have already passes your tests but...I will do my best! I'm still getting use to this technology...I'm always amazed at the changes that happen, even if it's only been five years since my time.

[There is another smile]

The firefly festival was so amazing! [Beams with pride] I won a dolphin for Neris...I-I've never been good at carnival games, but I finally did it! I'm just...really happy to be here.

I hope I'll continue to find this place interesting for the next weeks too!

Does anyone know which store I could get ramen?

[Otacon you are so silly.]

If you need anything, I'm not far away. Let me know.

Alright Snake! I'll do my best.

[Private, unhackable]

I was looking at the previous Otacon's files...how come we have so much money?

Re: private

[camo-box.livejournal.com]

I take a lot of jobs on the side when the school has breaks. Also we get paid for teaching but the amount kind of varies.

Re: private

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

S-side jobs? Are you going to need my help?

Re: private

[camo-box.livejournal.com]

You helped sometimes, but it's been a while since Shadow Moses. Don't sound so worried. I wasn't even a rookie back then, you know. Mei Ling usually guides me through.

Re: private

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

...[WHAT REPLACED AWWW]

B-but I want to help too! If Mei Ling is...I want to join in!

Re: private

[camo-box.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know the next time I take a mission.

Re: private

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[He is so excited, you have no idea. Then he realized he's excited for sneaking missions and what is sure to be dangerous stuff oh god...]

I hope I'll be helpful! And better than Mei Ling, goddamn may Mei Ling

[Staring. Staring.

Yeah okay Samus filled him in like. A few weeks ago but incredulous Falcon is very incredulous.

STARING.]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Otacon is confused. Who is this guy? Why is he wearing sunglasses? Why does he have a bright red helmet that looks like it should belong to Char Aznable (http://img3.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/b7e2f5e6c9a330cce58e77ff02bd453c1227677015_full.gif)? Unable to say anything at this strange wonder and the fact the feed is name ladiesman217 CPT Falcon. Captain Falcon? There is an emblem on his helmet...he thinks.]

[raced_god]

[Falcon ducks out of the video feed. When he returns, the helmet is gone, exchanged for some coolshades. He still, however, looks very incredulous.]

No.

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[artgaeth is it. Is it really? Maybe..since this is an alternate world and all...he might just have...]

[raced_god]

[This is so deadpan can you handle it.]

No.

Who is that.

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[You get this picture displayed (http://ghostlightning.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/gundam-z-quattro-hyaku-shiki.jpg) to you.]

T-that's him! He's from an anime called Gundam.

[raced_god]

[His expression DOES NOT CHANGE.]

So when'd you get here?

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Who is this guy and why is he asking these questions?]

Thursday July 29th at around 2pm. W-why?

[raced_god]

Do you even know how to drive?

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[WHAT. IS THIS GUY'S PROBLEM?!]

W-what kind of question is that? I've doing countless hours in the VR during my spare time, a-aand I've helped Snake get out of Shadow Moses!

I'm twenty-five, not sixteen!

[raced_god]

[Yeah don't mind Falcon he's just a little bitter that he keeps getting passed over for Driver's Ed by people he doens't like.]

VR is not actual driving. Be honest. What can you actually drive.

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

Station wagons, normal cars...ummm I've used helicopters . I've driven jeeps and...are you the headmaster's assistant, Crazy that he told me I should meet?

[That would explain the fact he's snapping so many questions at him :|]

[raced_god]

No, but the last teacher was insane a jerk under-qualified.

[trick_room]

you probably get ramen at the store, smart one. You know, where they sell food.

Computer repairs, huh...? Youre going to have one heck ofa job, hee hee!

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

Oh of course, but I'm not looking for normal store ramen, but rather specialty ones that you can only find in an Asian store. These ramen are much better and have better flavors than the simple chicken and beef ones from a grocery store! [Hi the insult flies right over his head.]

...Why do you say taking care of computers is going to be a heck of a job?

[trick_room]

Oh. toooo bad. ramen's ramen, you nerd.

cuz I think these computers break real easy... <3

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

Are you calling me a nerd?

...I would be more careful if I was you!

[trick_room]

I am. I wrote it. I can wite it bigger.

NERD.

[crescentpanels.livejournal.com]

Mr. Otacon, sir?

... But were you not just here some time ago? Why, you'd even helped me with my computer. I am Selene, remember? [Did... this guy have amnesia? He still went out with Neris, though, but- but he was acting like- but this- but- what.]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

I-i'm a different Otacon [He pushes up his glasses] I've heard of my predecessor but I never got to see him.

It's nice to meet you Selene. I am sorry I am not the Otacon you are looking for.

text -> video

[crescentpanels.livejournal.com]

Oh my, truly, you're his successor? So I see, although you do not look different from him, and your name is still Otacon. How very strange. It is as though you are clones... [ahhhh mind is blown]

Nevertheless, it is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Otacon~ Again Oh yes, and even you, too, know the wonders of the video on the journal network. Your predecessor has taught me how to do this, as well.

[It takes a few minutes, but boop, there is now a Selene on the screen, smiling and waving.]

See? It is very useful, indeed~

Re: text -> video

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

...no we are not clones, I assure you. [OH god he just...mentally imagined Evil! Otacon who has blond hair and ladies all around him and beautiful man-pecs. He shivers inwardly]

[Oh look she's right out of an anime, with the wings behind her ears and the large jewelry and beedrill hair. He timidly waves back!]

H-hello!

video--

[crescentpanels.livejournal.com]

Ah, hello~

[His reaction was a tad... strange. Was he nervous? But wait, why was he so nervous? She visibly tilted her head in confusion.]

Is... there a problem, sir?

Re: video--

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[!!! Oh shit.]

Nothing at all!

[Don't notice the nerd sweat.]

Re: video--

[crescentpanels.livejournal.com]

[Okay she won't.

Actually no she still finds something wrong, SORRY OTACON.]

Are... you quite sure, sir? You look very nervous. Is it something in my room that looks strange? [She is. SO CONFUSED.]

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

[NO REPLY. NO ANSWER. JUST STARINGTON STARICUS AT THIS VIDEO ENTRY.]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[OTACON IS CONFUSED WITH ALL THIS STARING]

[Texticus]

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

[OTACON hi Otacon woah it's like you aged down but got more gray what's up with that.]

You're teaching Driver's Ed?

Re: [Texticus]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Blame genetics.]

Yeah! I'm really excited about it, although I'm not sure I understand half of the program that is set up...oh I don't think we've met before. Is your name Raiden like this video feed?

Re: [Texticus]

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

That's right. [Woaaaah this is weird but okay he's rolling with it.] I'm the janitor.

I'm... sure you'll get it in no time.

Re: [Texticus]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

Janitor? It's got to be an interesting job in here...

[...Wait a minute.]

Does that mean...the flying vacuum cleaners, were they yours?!

Re: [Texticus]

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Lash made them for me.

Re: [Texticus]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

...who's Lash?

Re: [Texticus]

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

A friend.

[blondprodigy.livejournal.com]

"Previous" Otacon...? You don't mean--?

Um, well... H-hello again, Mr. Otacon. My name's Jeff Andonuts. A student. Are you still going to run the Ultra Science Club here?

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

...Ultra Science Club?

[What is this madness, did the previous Otacon...have that many friends?]

I-i'm not sure, I'd have to find out what exactly this entrails first. It's nice to meet you as well, Jeff!

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

Previous Otacon...?

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Wait a minute...]

Raiden? Didn't we just talk a few minutes ago?

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

[Not this again.]

No. I'm Raikov.
