Room 032 [Action for Mahogany]

<sub>[It's not terribly hard to spot that Townshend boy as he weaves in and out around the buildings of chilly Mohagany Town because of the trail of smoke following him.]

[Cigarette in his lips and camera at his eye, he's all about taking pictures of everyone and everything today. He's got a brand new roll of film and by Arceus he's going to use it!]

[ON YOU.]</sub>

[ Snake watches Henry awkwardly shuffle under the large washing machine box, before he sighs a bit. ]

Of course it's dark. There aren't any holes in it, you can't see. [ Snake shook his head. ] If you can't see what's going on, then that box is nothing more than a cardboard prison... Or coffin.

You need to be able to see so you can more easily avoid detection.

[no_ufo_ending]

...Right.

_{[Maybe this was why a lot of the bugs he tried to keep in jars when he was a kid died. Holes were important. He didn't really want this new found ability to become the death of him.]}

You wouldn't have a knife on you, would you?

[imthe_shit]

[ Does Solid Snake have a knife? Yes, yes he does. Not his good ol' stun knife, but it'd work out. If course the last time he had used the stun knife, Liquid had jammed it into his shoulder, so maybe it was better that he didn't have it. He takes out a swiss-army knife he picked up and passes it under the box for Henry. ]

I'd be screwed if I didn't have a knife with me. I don't usually like cutting up cardboard boxes, but... Well, in this case, it's necessary. [ Snake you're weird. ] You should be able to get a lot of pictures of people now, as long as your camera isn't too loud.

_{[Henry takes up the knife and there's some scuffling from inside his box until suddenly the blade pokes through the side nearest Snake. It awkwardly wiggles around and finally saws a neat little triangular hole.]}

That's better! Thanks...I think my shutter's pretty quiet, especially on these busy streets.

This is the best. I really am invisible.

[ Snake makes an amused grunt. ]

If someone's coming, slide to the back of the box to avoid being seen. Just make sure you don't hide in the back of a truck or something, or you might get shipped somewhere.

_{[Henry laughs from inside the box. Then he laughs again at the way he sounds when he laughs inside a box.]}

I don't think you have to worry about that happening.


_{[It was going to happen. Within the month.]}

[imthe_shit]

[ ... Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. ]

It's not a bad way to travel... If you know where you're going anyway.

Just be sure to be quiet yourself when you're in there.

<sub>[At that, Henry falls silent. He is being like the box. He is one with the box. He is the box.]

[Such a good box Henry Townshend was.]</sub>

[imthe_shit]

[ ... Well, his job here was done. Snake nods his head before wandering off. Good luck, Henry Boxshend. ]
