>Yazira: Look at the snake cameo earrings.

They are so beautiful and so your color. Silver is so underrated compared to gold, honestly. You're not sure why you'd been on such a gold kick the past few years, but you aim to remedy that.

There are other Yshvek just like me out here, aren't there?, you think to yourself as you idly thumb the earrings. The thought, as always, brings up complicated emotions. Homesickness, for one. You've been away from your city of birth for some time, along with everyone you've ever known. You accepted this as a possibility when you agreed to do some diplomatic and recon work for the PYTHIA NESTMOTHER, but it still sucks. You felt a similar pang of homesickness and nostalgia talking to the lizard lady, Captain Zzulsh, back at the bar. Maybe meeting other Yshvek out here would be nice, but would they have anything in common with you besides being human and serpent in all the right places respectively?? Is Shekinester worship common out here? If so, does it look the same or is it much different? Do Yshvek have the same relentless fascination with artifacts and technology without a bottomless cave of ancient civilization to delve into? Does every Yshvek girl out here also grow up with a fanatical passion for wrestling, scrums, roughhousing and the like? Are they sweet, earnest, clever, jubilant Yshvek like the best people back home were, or has the struggle for existence in Wildspace rendered these Yshvek cold, bitter, and douchey?

You don't have answers to all that, but you know you love these earrings. The sign of the serpent is the sign of the triad goddess. And that's about the coolest sign you know.

You take the SNAKE CAMEO EARRINGS. Wouldn't it be crazy if there was an actual Snake cameo because of these earrings? Solid Snake would show up, sounding all David Hayter-y, and he'd mutter in his gentle growl, "Hey bitch, this is Solid Snake. Stay in school."

That would be pretty crazy.

>Yazira: Look at the rings.
