[he's randomly doodling arrays in chalk all over the HQ square, knowing full well that he cannot activate them. he's currently wearing his own clothes and whistling.]

I wish I knew why my bluebird never needed an array. And why I miss this disgusting alchemy so...

Alive or dead, our bodies are made up of the same things... and add to the same circle.

You were created with alchemy... right?

Are you what mother would have been?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

But I am an anomaly, as all homunculi are.

[looks away] Yes. Your - you and Edward's mother - she had been reborn as Sloth.

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

...you're still made of the same things, which makes it... not disgusting, doesn't it?

....who made mother Sloth?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

That is not the point. The intention is disgusting. That is what makes me what I am.

...

The both of you.

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

But-but....

They said what we made was a monster....

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

That is true.

But someone - fed her Red Stones and well...she looks almost exactly like your mother dearest.

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

......
Does she?


...what are red stones?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

Yes. That is why it was difficult to fight her...

...

Incomplete Philosopher's Stones. You do not know...?

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

To-to fight....?


...incomplete...?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

...she was one of the reasons why everyone died, sweetheart. Of course it would be natural to fight her.

A natural - but toxic - amplifier of alchemical ability. Its liquid form is my blood. Oh, so very educational, is it not?

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

...I don't know what you're--

*pales* In your world, did you have to fight her before you.....

...

I'm so sorry for you.......

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

[looks away.] Mmmn. The world is a cruel place, young one.

No. Do not be. I am not worth that - I mean - I...do not need that.

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

Of course you are, Pride-n--san.

...I don't know what I'd do if I had to do that....

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

[he almost - almost - berates him for the slip, but he holds his tongue.]

Any incarnation of Edward Elric will never allow that to happen to you, so do not worry.

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

Why do you always say that you're a version of my nii-san, but not want me to call you such, Pride-san?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

...

[speechless for a moment.]

...

...do you know, I do not know? It is quite odd, pretty. No sane person would acknowledge me as an acquaintance. I suppose...[he trails off, staring at nothing thoughtfully.]

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

....I'm sane.


Homunculi aren't that bad, really..... In my experience, at least.

You still don't want to be called that, right?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

And you are an Alphonse. You automatically do not count as sane, dearheart. [laughs.]

Mmmn, that does remain to be seen.

You should still call me Pride only, pretty. Though I do so dearly wish that - Once Edward wakes up you may call him your brother.

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

That's not a fair assumption. *hmph*

Well, that's what I believe.

Very well, Pride....



[[Al's still not gonna give up. =P]]

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

Since when have I been fair...?

You are so cute, Alphonse.

[ooc: wouldn't expect anything less. :D]

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

*laughs* True.
