As awesome as it sounds, I doubt I'm actually gonna live to be 107.

Despite the human preoccupation with living forever, I assure you, it's rather overrated.

[alchimia]

Hey, Sousuke. Been a while.

[ Shrugs. ]

'Mnot much interested in living forever anyway.

[transcendens]

Indeed. Still, I thought it appropriate to at least wish you a happy birthday.

[alchimia]

Heh, thanks.

So how've you been?

[transcendens]

All things considered, I believe I can say that I'm quite well.

And you? How do you fare these days?

If you would, it'd give me a free pass to have a rather long life, myself. I don't think Hughes would approve much of me letting you die before me, complete lack of contact, interdimensional barriers and the like be damned.

[alchimia]

There's no way I'd die before you anyway, Colonel. So I don't think you have to worry 'bout it.

[roy_mustang]

I'll try not to let it give me grey hairs, somehow.

[alchimia]

Nah, you can't get much unattractive than you are now, what with that eyepatch and all.

[roy_mustang]

You're going to be how old, now?

[militarytactics]

...If you don't mind me saying, Edward, that doesn't sound very good at all.

[alchimia]

What, why?

[ Beat. ]

Wait, how do you know my name?

[militarytactics]

[...okay small pause.]

Have you ever been to a place known as Fort Briggs?

[alchimia]

That's up north, near the Drachma border, right? [ He remembers the military maps, yep. ] Nope, never been.

[militarytactics]

Correct. Then I must have the wrong person. My apologies.

[also he is still wearing his sunglasses because dear mun has a lot of snow idek go with this.]

[renamed]

Happy birthday, Fullmetal.

[alchimia]

[ Whoa. Talk about a blast from the past. ]

...Scar. [ Slight nod. ] Been a while.

[renamed]

...Mm. I can't say the same.

[A slight pause.]

So, which Edward Elric are you?

[alchimia]

Heh. The one whose brother you turned into the Philosopher's Stone.

[ There's no bite in his tone. It's more like he's stating it as a fact. For even if he should hate Scar for doing that to Al, Scar had saved Al's life when he hadn't been able to. ]
