Ask Snake

Anonymous asked: A prince, huh? Well you certainly fit the description. You need a princess though, don't you? I'd be willing to take the role.

Don’t be ridiculous. My sister is the only princess I require.

Though I’m not against a little role-playing, I think I would prefer a wandering knight or minstrel, or perhaps a stable boy. Junpei and Santa seem like the sort who’d be suited to mucking out stalls, don’t they?

Anonymous asked: (A follow up to the Axe Ending question, from a different anon. [Also, I apoligize if this appears in your ask as a duplicate; my internet cut off when I tried to send it before and I wasn't sure if you would receive it.]) /Defending/ herself? Is /that/ what she told you? (By the way, her skirts /are/ too short. That's alright, though; her legs are absolutely /sinful/.)

If she judged the other people in the game to be a threat for any reason - there was no shortage of suspicious types in the game, remember - then I trust her decision. She is my sister, and I am understandably fond of her. More than that, I believe in her completely.

That being said, killing the others and taking their bracelets was the most efficient way to win the game. I applaud her resourcefulness, if I cannot agree with her methods.

As as side note, I would categorize the length of my sister’s skirts decidedly under the subject heading of ‘not my damned business’. So long as she is not breaking decency laws, nor violating a dress code at her place of work or study, neither is it yours.

Whether or not you enjoy ogling Clover’s legs is immaterial to whether or not is alright she dress in the manner she finds comfortable. It is alright because she is a grown woman who has the right to dress however she pleases.

Anonymous asked: Does it require a lot of concentration to hear things from afar? Particularly in one moment, Junpei was speaking with you and you paused in mid conversation because apparently you heard the other team pass through Door 4.

I am perhaps more attentive to the sounds and vibrations around me than a sighted person. Perhaps it would be more difficult for someone less brilliant to be so aware of their surroundings?

I was not attempting to hear them, if that is what you are asking. Rather, I recognized Clover’s voice and movement, and became momentarily distracted.

Anonymous asked: What is your favorite activity?

Photography.

—But in seriousness, I enjoy reading and researching subjects that I find interesting. There is little I find more thrilling than the pursuit of pure knowledge.

Anonymous asked: Snake, you're such a gentleman! How is it that you are so proper when Clover doesn't act like a lady?

I behave in the way that best suits me. My sister does the same.

Clover is herself completely. She is intelligent, strong, and unafraid to express her opinions. We may interact with the world differently, but our hearts are the same in that regard. I do not see us as at all different.

I would much rather her be herself than ‘act like a lady’, whatever that is supposed to mean in this day and age. In the past, to be ladylike meant to be meek and submissive, and to submit to being property of men. I hope you do not mean any sister of mine, or any woman, really, should ever be expected to act that way…?

Anonymous asked: What was your first impression of Junpei...?

My first impression was that he was making quite a racket as he ran in.

In spite of his obvious panic, he had the qualities of a leader, a certain puppy-like charisma. I also judged him to be an unknown element, as he was a voice I did not recognize.

Anonymous asked: Light. Light. Hey Light. What's your sexuality?

Why do you wish to know? Are you interested?

Allow me to phrase it this way: your answer is only relevant if you are male.

osmsauce asked: What do you think of Santa?

Santa’s rather colorful language suggests a limited vocabulary. I would typically take this to mean he is also of a limited intelligence, but I do not believe that is the case in this instance.

In spite of his foul language and equally unpleasant temper, there is more to Santa than the first impression he gives. He seems almost familiar to me, somehow.

Anonymous asked: Snake! Snake! If the other members of the Nonary Game were in a no holds barred fight to the death, who'd win and why?

My insinctual answer would be to say me. I am strong and rather handy in a fight, and people have a tendency to underestimate me.

However, I believe my sister is even more unexpectedly strong. Her temper is a frightening thing. I believe she would kill everyone else in the game to ensure our survival.

It is best to keep Clover happy.

atticuspryce asked: Junpei once noted that your appearance is 'princely'- so how about it? Is there royal blood running through your veins?

It is not impossible, but monarchy is hardly relevant in this modern age.

I do believe Junpei mistook me mainly because of my manners, posture, sense of style and ability to string sentences together using multisyllabic vocabulary.
