GRAVEYARD

[foundationmods]

[On the instant of your death, you're suddenly outside of your body - probably staring down at the remains it's become.

Yet, you're not alone. For all of you (except Szayel), a young man appears from behind you, his face set into a firm, yet sad, scowl. His shaggy strawberry blonde hair is pretty eye-catching, along with the black and white Shihakusho he wears and the large sword on his back, even as he gently tries to lead you back into the lobby and away from what was once your body. You can still clearly hear and see the living, if you want to try - but they can't see or hear you.

'Welcome to the world of the dead in this Resort,' he says, quietly. 'Looks like you're stuck here with the rest of us.'

He hands you a tablet, just like the one you had before. "You'll need this if you want to keep talking to them,' he explains, looking sad.

It looks like you've passed on, and yet...You still feel like you have a role to play in all of this.]

[Medic isn't looking great here, either. It's not the burned body that concerns him- it's the person it once was.]

Snake-

[He clears his throat, pausing. Then:]

David. David, yes?

[Medic moves to stand in front of him, blocking Snake's view of his own body.]

It's- it's alright. You're still here.

[If hearing Medic's voice wasn't enough to snap him out of it, hearing his name certainly is.]

Medic...?

[Everything blends into vision, focus sharpening, he's back in the now...whatever that was.]

That's...really you?

[blutsauger]

Jawohl. Ludwig, if you prefer. Might as well.

Of course it's me. You did just die, after all. You foolish, foolish man...

[He looks tired. And sad. And concerned. But he holds Snake's shoulders in a tight grip.]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake takes full advantage of Medic's height, and, as he grips his shoulders, he just leans into him. At first, hesitantly, then all at once.]

...It's good to see you.

[He exhales, trying to stabilize himself.]

Sorry about the circumstances.

[blutsauger]

[Good news, Medic is also taking full advantage of his height and kisses Snake on the forehead. He doesn't pull away afterward, instead holding Snake closer.]

It's... good to be seen, I suppose.

There's nothing to be done about it. Just don't die a second time.

Please.

[tacticalespionageaction]

[He lets himself be held, clinging to Medic.]

I can't make any promises. Already broke one of them.

[He should feel worse about it, after all he'd said to live, after all people sacrificed for him...

...but he doesn't. Not when it meant someone else would live in his stead. It wasn't a choice anyone had made but himself. He can't regret that.]

...But I'll try not to. Not whilst I still have reasons to stick around.
