Let's talk hypotheticals.

You're crossing a suspension bridge. You have to reach the other side at any cost. The bridge is wide enough only for one person to pass at a time.

A man approaches from the other side with a gun. How do you cross?

This gun will kill you instantly if you take any longer to think about your decision.

[GOD]

[saveyourserpent]

Is the man even bloody pointing it at anything?

[YOU CAN'T FREAK HIM OUT WITH A HYPOTHETICAL GUN]

[camouflage]

At you now.

[how about a real life boot in your ass YOU DIDNT HAVE TO ANSWER THIS IF YOU DIDNT WANT TO ELI!!!!]

[saveyourserpent]

Is he aware of the new capabilities of his weapon?

[YOU CAN'T TELL HIM WHAT NOT TO DO]

[camouflage]

[.............................what]

What.

[saveyourserpent]

Oh, now that it instantly kills people if they take too long and all. What a shocker that must be.

[Liquid Snake, forever a little shit.]

[camouflage]

[is this what you put zero through all the time?





good job.]

Let's just cut to the chase. He's killed you. You didn't cross the bridge. Mission failed.

[saveyourserpent]

[Oh no, he was totally the most pleasant person.

Totally.]

Oh, but what's this? Before he's killed me, I'm floated over the bridge by a valued member of my team.

Problem solved.

[camouflage]

Liquid.

[okay imagine the most exasperated dad voice ever. do you hear it? okay, good, now picture big boss glaring at his tab trying to convey that voice through text.]

[saveyourserpent]

You didn't say I couldn't bring some assistance.

[Nice try, dad.]

[camouflage]

You're right. You win the hypothetical bridge battle.

[saveyourserpent]

Alright, what's beyond that? More hypothetical single people standing around with guns? A dragon, perhaps?

[He's determined to be a nuisance, clearly.]

[camouflage]

Your own ego.

[guess where you got that stubborn determination from]

[saveyourserpent]

Oh, great. Now it gets really philosophical.

[Yeah well that's USING YOUR ENEMY'S WEAPONS AGAINST THEM.]

[camouflage]

Not really. We both know you'd never be able to make it across THAT bridge.

[you BRAT]

[saveyourserpent]

I'm not quite sure what the metaphor of floating across the ego bridge might be, but I'll do it anyway.

[HE'S STICKING HIS TONGUE OUT ON THE INSIDE]

[camouflage]

It can't be a metaphor if it's blatantly obvious.

[saveyourserpent]

Metaphors don't have to be exceedingly cryptic.

[camouflage]

They have to be kind of cryptic.

[saveyourserpent]

A metaphor can be incredibly obvious. Everyone knows what 'this room is a pigsty' means, don't they?

[camouflage]

[





damn.]

You got me there.

[saveyourserpent]

[Ha!

He doesn't say 'in your face' but he's totally thinking along those lines.]

Of course. At the end of the day, it's merely a replacement for something else.
