[Snake's in his personal quarters, looking about as languid as he typically has been. He's propped back in his chair. Binder's flipped open. He appears to be grading... something. Probably an essay on what everyone learned at the Box Camp. At least the people who went. Anyone who didn't and wrote an essay was probably spouting bullshit.

Good thing he can bullshit real well.]

Huh. Last time I was going to say something, I was getting hit on by a woman - and not in the good way. [It's true. Last time he was on the network, Eli was beating him down for being drunk. He's amazingly sober this time around.]

I've got some good news for my students. [He waves some loose papers back and forth.] These aren't half bad. I'm beginning to think you guys are actually listening.

[A pause.]

Bad news is. If you didn't show up to that outing and you turned something in anyway, you're not getting any credit for it. Because you weren't there. I guess your punishment is that you have to eat a panel of a box. If you have any questions about what that's like, go see Captain Falcon and Instructor Aran. I'm sure they can tell you all about it.

[He can too, but he's not going to.] Next paper's going to be on the evolution of boxes and their advancements over time. [In short, come to another class of Boxes 101 where Snake pretends to be this guy named Pliskin and spouts random crap for forty-five minutes to an hour.]

Maybe I just wanted to be one of the cool kids for once.

In other words you caved into peer pressure slash my incredible force of will.

[loveisbloominginmypants]

Oh, yes. Your incredible force of will is so strong. Whatever will I do against it.

[icequeen_aran]

Eat more boxes, apparently.

Maybe you should try garnishing them for extra flavor.

[loveisbloominginmypants]

And how exactly would you garnish boxes, smart ass?

[icequeen_aran]

I don't know. Salt. Pepper. The blood of your enemies. That sort of thing.

[loveisbloominginmypants]

I don't think that's going to have the outcome you're looking for. But it might make the cardboard taste better.

[icequeen_aran]

[And that's how she got Snake to agree boxes could be tasty.]

You said it, not me.

[loveisbloominginmypants]

[You minx.]

...I'm just saying that without all of that - without anything - a box is incredibly bland. In case you don't remember or foray into the fine cuisine of boxes.
