[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.

Yes. Don't worry though, Wrath. I have it under control. He seems to trust me the most. Funnily enough, most of our memories before the Elric's birth are exceedingly similar.

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

That seems convenient enough. From what I've observed, he doesn't seem too different in terms of personality, either.

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

That is correct. I'm quite fortunate for that, and that he has a particular goal of making a man named Van Hohenheim miserable.

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

Van Hohenheim? So, he has something more personal against him, then. Well, as long as he doesn't actually kill him, I don't see any issues here.

[Presumably, going through with everything would make Hohenheim miserable as fuck anyway...]

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Oh, believe me, Wrath. I've been stringing him along to adopt our plan instead. To make him even more miserable than he has ever been. I already told him it wouldn't involve killing him, or at least killing him immediately.

[ your girrrrl is already on it oxoxo lusty. ]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

I should have assumed that.

[lust you are the best oneechan]

Is Hohenheim here, then? Or is this in the event that he shows up?

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Do you think I'd leave something so gaping unattended?

[ She sounds insulted, but it's just a playful farce. This is the most fun she'll ever be! ]

Hohenhiem is not here, but, I have ensured Envy that if he returns, we can do something mean to him every once in a while. [ like putting pokefood for Urasings in his backpack! ] Under the guise of nature of course!

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

Never hurts to ask.

[he sounds amused, at least. also, implying that plotting the ruination of so many lives isn't fun]

...ah, I see. [...that sounds... kind of petty...]

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Anything to keep him on our team. [ She sounds a bit unamused at this prospect though petty life wrecking is sort of a hobby for her. ]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

Of course. [there's petty life wrecking and then there's being Jessie, James, and Meowth.

...granted, Lust, Envy, and Gluttony were kind of like an actually threatening version of them at the beginning...]

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Though you're welcome to come up with such schemes if you wish. [ Haha! Yep! So much that they were included under the trope name Team Rocket, back when it used to be called such!

For those that cross her, Lust is pretty much the worst Jessie there is, efficiency and morality wise. ]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

I'll think on it.

[yes exactly. 'Course, the Meowth here is kind of a beanbag chair...]

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sir. That's all I ask.

[ sister out. ]

[ SISTER BACK ON. She just remembered something! ]

Actually, how would you like a home dedicated entirely towards the homunculi? I've been thinking of raising some funds so we can all have a place where we live, and can organize on our own free will.

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't object to it. Where would it be, exactly? I'm not quite familiar with this region's layout yet.

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

It'd be in Goldenrod, the largest city that's often considered the heart of Johto in terms of economics, people, and politics. [ yes she wants to live classy. ]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes-I believe I've already heard of that place. If you have it ready before I arrive, be sure to let me know where it is.

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Of course, of course. I won't be some type of heartless field that'd keep you waiting for days on end just to find this place. Please be tight lipped about the home though, I can't say I'm a fan of expected company. [ reference to the fact that the protagonists seem to love to break into homes in the games or the fullmetal brat?! You decide! ]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course. I like unexpected company about as much as you do, so I'll do my best to avoid that kind of annoyance.

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Excellent. [ And now a soft chuckle. ] You know, you do make a wonderful addition to our team. [ lahv lahv lahv she wants your lahv. ] Father was right about choosing someone was wonderful as you to be his Wrath.

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[...sis are you

are you hitting on him

holy shit he does not know how to react to this.]

...well, I suppose I can't say I'm particularly upset it worked out that way.

[holy shit.]

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

[ ew why would she want to hit on you, you look like 50 and you used to be able to make babies.

her heart belongs to daddy :'| ]

You made a very wise choice being his Wrath.

[ Communication: The Homoncufly version. ]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[well lust that sounded pretty uh

...and there wasn't really a choice there it kind of just...]

It was luck of the draw, really.

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

[ that awkward moment when you assume onee-chan is trying to get your mitts in her oven. ]

Then I guess we made a fortune out of roulette.
