Sneaking around(Closed/Darkrider)

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Solid Snake walked down the dark street. Rain coagulated in the gutters, flooding the street. Snake's beige trench coat was drenched, as was his suit underneath. He stopped by an alleyway, and waited for the people to pass by. Once clear, he reached inside his pocket and felt his .45. The grip felt wet. He hoped that water hadn't clogged the gun. Snake ducked into the alley way and checked his gun. A little bit of water leaked out. He put the gun away, and pulled out a cigarette. It felt nice and warming. Snake slumped against the wall, and waited for his partner to arrive.

[Darkrider]

Eyes behind a cloaked visor visibly widened. The man he witnessed bore an uncannily resemblence to that video game that he heard of, Metal Gear Solid. Snake, he recalled. So this was his partner. Attempting to conceal his footsteps, he made his way over the alley, and decloaked.

"So. Who's the target?"

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Snake growled, and cursed under his breath. They paired me with a kid. "A man called Black. He is highly dangerous, and needs to be brought in." Snake puffed away on his cigarette. "Are you in, or are you out?"

[Darkrider]

Vulcan noted a brief pissed off look on Snake's face before just as quickly vanishing.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't accept the job." He loaded a fresh clip into his rifle. "I've had dealings with him before."

Details about the Razortooth skirmish still sent shivers through his spine, especially since he witnessed his former partner's powers against the Nightmare God's...Of course, he was counting on the fact that Snake had something up his sleeve to take the man down.

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

"OK then. But we need to lay low. Do you have any normal cloths, or are you going to walk around in that ridiculous armor?" Snake took one last drag from his cigarette before stamping out under his foot.

"All right. Get some better cloths, and meet me back here." Snake walked down the alleyway. He turned down aother street, then ditched his trench coat, revealing his Octocamo suit. He blended into the wall, and started to follow Darkrider.

[Darkrider]

"I have no need for such things," Vulcan casually stated, as his features once again blended into the backround. "Although I'm assuming that this would be an extended operation. I suppose I could get something from around here, if the mission calls for it. Did you have anything specific in mind?"

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Snake snorted as the kid started talking to the air. "Come on kid, you've got to prove yourself first. Follow me. No sensors. No technology crap. Just intuition." Solid Snake turned another corner, leaving Vulcan with two possible ally ways to go through. Snake left a small clue, a pair of foot prints. The print the the left was deeper that the one to the right. There were also several small marks on the wall in front, suggesting that someone had jumped against it...

[Darkrider]

"Says the person with highly advanced camoflauge." Vulcan noted on his sensor readout. He followed suit, and followed Snake up the wall.

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Snake laughed as he saw Vulcan scale the wall. Novice... Snake fired a perfectly silent round from his perfectly silent Darkness Operator, aiming at Vulcan's knee. After firing, Snake ducked into an old dumpster, and then cloaked himself, using the thermal dampeners in the Octocamo.

[Darkrider]

The round shrieked in protest as it slammed against Vulcan's armor, which soon faded with the enviroment. Vulcan noted that from the naked eye, and thermal scans, he was completely invisible. However, a short radar burst, with a mapping of the area should rat him out. Sure enough, there he was, under an old dumpster.

"Time to flush this Snake out." Vulcan thought.

A grenade clinked and rolled under, and exploded.

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

BRING! Snake saw the Exclamation mark above Vulcan's head. He jumped out of the dumpster, grabbed the grenade, and tossed it back, watching as it exploded near Vulcan.

"Novice. I'll bet your gun is still on safe." Snake pulled the .50 caliber heavy duty sniper rifle off his back, and let loose a few thunderous shots straight at Vulcan. He also fired a few shots to each side, just incase Vulcan moved to either side. Snake was confidant that the armor piercing rounds would find their mark. Snake reloaded his rifle, and pulled out his Patriot rifle, and proceeded to hold down the trigger, saturating the area with hundreds of 5.56 millimeter rounds.

[Darkrider]

(OOC: Wait wait wait, I'm confused here. I was invisible, or did you see a bring on top of my head? Is that what gave me away? And how do you know I'm still in the same place when you threw the grenade back? Or when you fired shots, for that matter. After we clear things up, can you modify that post?)

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

(OOC: Snake saw the Bring mark, which appears and follows you around whole you know about Snake's location while he's hidden. And Snake has thermal vision from the Solid Eye. So yes, Snake sees Vulcan. No edits needed.)

[Darkrider]

(OOC: There is still an issue with the grenade exploding under the dumpster, the thing only has a half-second delay, if I'm not mistaken. I can still RP with the rounds, though.)

As Snake brought his gun to bear on Vulcan, Vulcan found the small monologue to be a safe opening, jumping and scaling the wall opposite right when Snake let loose the rounds. Several more came as the Patriot peppered the opposite wall with bullets. Vulcan found him to be right out in the open, and he jumped down and lunged with his wrist blades.

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Snake dodged Vulcan and his wrist-blades, stabbing at his back. Snake activated the ranged shock function of the Stun Knife, hoping to knock Vulcan out cold. He still prepared for a CQC battle, but the oncoming battle would be easy at best. He had fought much harder enemies in much higher densities.
