[Well, there’s definitely some kind of fiddling going on here from someone who doesn’t seem to know how to operate these things… but hey, it focused eventually, right? Well, anyway, right now there’s a rather imposing looking man standing on Route 29, who seem completely unfazed by by both the situation at hand and the fact that it is snowing pretty damn hard.

There is also a bird made of swords chilling in the background, holy shit. ...'chilling' is meant kind of literally, there's snow piling up on that thing. ...although if it minds it's not really giving any indication that it does.]

This device seems to be working, so let me cut to the chase. I’ve spoken to several people who seem to live here, and they seem to be quite capable of telling me about this place-and it’s definitely one hell of a place they’ve got here, I’ll grant them that!

>[Well, hey, at least someone’s taking this well! He does serious up a bit for the next bit of conversation, though.]

However, I’m not entirely clear on why I’m here-although, I do have some ideas. I assume that at least one of you will be able to give me a decent explanation without eventually starting to repeat everything that they just said.

[You know, he's going to put a lock on this just in case. He smiles, but the friendly look doesn't reach his eyes at all.]

Well, if it isn't the Fuhrer himself. Welcome to Johto.

[...what... is that locking thing...

...better not switch out of it, though. also man, envy, what's eating you]

...I've heard that one too many times by now. Nevertheless, if my suspicions are correct, I'm not particularly surprised to see you here.

[He didn't show up for any of the good stuff in any capacity that Bradley saw, so he presumed that Envy simply got offed sometime before then. So, that probably meant that only Pride was left...]

[Everything is eating Envy all the time, he's just an angry person okay]

[Especially at seeing your face again, Pride--wait a second. Speaking of your face, it's a little hard to tell over the 'Gear, but that face looks off. If he wasn't so good at faces, Envy might not have noticed, but huh. Weird. But he'll worry about that later.]

...and what suspicions do those happen to be?

[by 'off' you mean 'less like a potato' right]

We're all dead, aren't we?

[...he doesn't sound particularly troubled by this.]

[Yes. Yes exactly that.]

I don't know about you, but I'm not dead as far as I know. What, do you think this is hell?

[Envy actually knows someone else who has thought this for quite some time. But he's sure he's not dead, he can't be. He's still gotta kill his dad, damn it.]

I can't really say what kind of afterlife I'm assuming this to be given that I've never actually believed in anything like that, although I can say with confidence that I was quite dead before I got here.

[Envy's expression doesn't change, but he is very curious as to just who managed to off 'Pride' with that eye of his.]

You wouldn't be the first dead person brought here. But I can tell you that we're not all dead, so I doubt this place is any kind of afterlife. But we are all human, as I'm sure you've noticed.

[Envy doesn't sound particularly happy about this, he still doesn't like it, but he's certainly calmer about it than he used to be.]

[definitely not mustang, that's for sure]

Hmm. So much for that that theory, then. And... yes. I'd noticed. Really, it's the most infuriating part of the whole thing.

[Most people would be weirded out if their eyes looked different when they looked up, not if they looked the same. Most people were not King Bradley.]

Living here would be much more bearable if we weren't all reduced to this.

[He looks at Bradley consideringly.] Is your ouroboros still there?

[...oh right and also that other thing.] And what sin are you named for, again? Humor me on this.

I have to agree with you there-to answer your question, no, it isn't.

[which just feels wrong.

as for the latter, on account of WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY LUST INFO, he isn't too surprised by this.]

Wrath. I've been informed that you'd know me by a different name.

Hmm, mine's still where it should be. But then again, it isn't on my eye. [Is he a little bit smug about getting to keep his? Yes. And curious as to what the loss or keeping of that mark means in terms of humanity. Does it even make a difference? He wants to work this out.]

[Envy figures it would be Lust that told him about that. Good, now he doesn't have to deal with trying not to sound like a complete lunatic. Also seriously, it is so weird to think of you as 'Wrath' in comparison to the one he knows.] So you've been informed about the alternate dimensions, good. What else?

I assume that'd have something to do with it. If it were anywhere else, I imagine it would simply be taken as a tattoo.

[...well that and he was human to begin with, but...]

I've managed to pick up what most people have figured out about this place so far, which admittedly isn't very much.
