...Is this Central? How the hell did we go from Xing to Central in-

Fu? Oi, where'd you run off to? Fu!



Shit.


((Long story short, this is an AU!greed from... roughly 15ish years after the end of the series. Yeeeaaaah. As always, this is Jami's fault.))

Ling?

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

-Huh?

[That throws him off a bit. Staring at you.]

How do you know Ling?

[acuteteeths]

I met him here. Ah-- you're not Ling?

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

Here? In Central? [That doesn't make any sense.]

No, I'm Greed.

[acuteteeths]

Uh-huh. A couple of years ago.

Greed? Um, it's nice to meet you, Greed.

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

Hate to break it to ya, kid, but there's no way you could have seen Ling here.

And you are...?

[acuteteeths]

Um, it was-- I think it was a different Ling from the one you know. Sorry, I should've mentioned that this place is kind of weird.

I'm Fletcher! Fletcher Tringham.

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean?

[acuteteeths]

Have you seen the magic sign? I think one of the Edwards made it a long time ago.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[....well that's interesting.

That was one of the Greeds right? The one with his body? Calling for one of his guard? Hm]

Lose someone?

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I-

[And then he looks.



oh.

well that's not right.]

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[Tilts head slightly. He leans against the wall of a building and considers him.]

You are called Greed, yes?

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

[still trying to wrap his head around this.]

What are you saying, Ling? And how did you- [kjsdfll]

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

....Ah, you're very new. Have you seen the sign?

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

-What sign? And what do you mean by new?

...You're not actually Ling, are you? [accusatory. It's the only plausible explanation, for the moment.]

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[Points. (http://community.livejournal.com/fmadressingroom/66887.html)]

I am, but I am probably not the Ling you know. I've never encountered a Greed back home.

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

[...............what]

That's ridiculous.

[exploding-kunai.livejournal.com]

[Ran Fan heard him yelling, so the fact that she sounds highly annoyed isn't very odd.]

You have come here as well?

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

[o what ran fan]

Oi, what the hell are you doing way out here?

[exploding-kunai.livejournal.com]

I am not here by choice.

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

But Ling-

[Let's say he's seen the sign by now.]

...Are you one of those "alternate reality" people?

[exploding-kunai.livejournal.com]

[...But what? Erg, so frustrating.]

I cannot know the answer to that. You believe we are from... different worlds?

[The concept is still rather weird to her.]

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Maybe. Would you mind taking off your mask for a sec?

[exploding-kunai.livejournal.com]

H-huh?! I do not...!

...Is there no other way to determine this?

[unclegreed.livejournal.com]

I just wanna check something, it'll only take a moment.
