Homeless

[incendere]

Well, well. It's been a while. I can't say I'm too surprised, considering your recent temptations. Not to mention the discussions that have been occurring amongst your friends lately. That being said, this certainly invokes a feeling of nostalgia. It's been a while since we last worked together, although I doubt anything has changed. After all, relationships such as ours have a tendency of resisting even the longest periods of separation.

So tell me, what exactly do you plan on doing? Bringing me here can only take us so far. You'll have to do a little more if you intend on undertaking anything else. While the paperwork is bound to be unbearable, I'm sure the change would be a bit more welcoming. Even breaks such as these have a tendency of becoming too monotonous. We'll simply have to do a bit of fishing.

Relax. I have no doubts that it'll work itself out. It always does.

[ Woah.

Have a crocodile... sort of staring at you, Roy. ]

[incendere]

(What.

What.)

[ The crocodile lifts up a front clawed foot for a kind of awkward wave.

Yo. ]

Roy gives a hesitant awkward wave bag)

(Wait.)

[incendere]

Well, it seems all that paperwork is starting to have an affect on me.

[explosivecombat]

Believe me, if you're being brought here, it's only a matter of time before paperwork is the least of your worries.

[eyeofwildtiger]

[Squinting... Oh, hey, he knows that uniform!]

You wouldn't happen to know Maes, wouldya?

[alchimia]

Actually wanting to work for once, Colonel? I'm shocked.

[incendere]

What's wrong, Crimson? Don't tell me you're having trouble dealing with these places?

[incendere]

Maes? (A pause cause WOAH HOW DO YOU KNOW MY BFF) That's right. He and I used to work together.

[incendere]

Come now, Fullmetal. You make it sound like I never do any work at all.

[alchimia]

Y'know... I think I hear Lt. Hawkeye calling. Something about deadlines?

[eyeofwildtiger]

Ah, really? That's cool. We're stuck in the same game. He's pretty awesome.

[dadandgone]

Man Roy you must be pretty bored if you're actually willing to do paperwork.

Want to do mine as well? My mun's pretty useless right now.

[incendere]

Is that so? Well, I suppose that would make sense, considering the nature of these places. I'm curious, where exactly did you meet him?

You're not gonna believe this, but... in space.

[incendere]

I don't know what you mean.

[alchimia]

Really? Hm, I didn't realize it was raining again.

[incendere]

(HEAR THAT THAT IS A DRAMATIC SIGH)

Well, it certainly wouldn't be preferable, although I suppose I'll have no choice.

[incendere]

(And as for that question:)

I'll pass.

1/2!

[incendere]

[incendere]

What's that? You'll have to speak up, Ed. It's hard to hear you from all the way down there.

......What.

I grew some y'know!

[alchimia]

Anyway... what'd you do with the... [ Gestures towards Mustang's left eye. ] That ugly thing you had on your face last I saw you.

[dadandgone]

I dunno. Sometimes the paper work beats what comes next.

Though I guess I have no right to complain considering the alternative.

[dadandgone]

Oh come on Roy! Look it's not even that difficult.

[Slips a picture of Elysia in front of him]

In fact, she's really cute!

[whatsupcroc]

< Sounds like you've got a problem, mister. Paperwork puts me to sleep. Or maybe that's just because it's homework. >

Yep. Still a crocodile, mouth opening into a sort of... grin. A crocodile grin, if he would.

[incendere]

'Some', huh? Well, it's certainly hard to tell. Must have only been a few centimeters.

(But there's no denying you certainly look a bit different, and so Roy's tone changes to address the second bit.)

What do you mean?

1/2

[incendere]

I can't say I disagree. After all, some of these places have a reputation of being a little worse than one might hope. That being said, that doesn't exactly make the paperwork any more enjoyable.

2/2!

[incendere]

I fail to see exactly how a picture of your daughter has to do with your paperwork, Hughes.

[alchimia]

[ That gets a bit of a pause from him and he doesn't bother giving the short joke a remark. Instead, his brows furrow as he regards Mustang speculatively. ]

The eye patch.

[eyeofwildtiger]

We kinda got beamed up on this satellite and have to read bad stories. Couldn't make it up if I tried.

[dadandgone]

Motivation! Clearly that's what you need right? I'll loan this to you and you'll get all your work done in no time just by looking at Elysia's beautiful smiling face.

[incendere]

I see. (Sorta) Well, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, especially considering the fact that I was once in space as well. Though, that doesn't make it any less disconcerting.

[incendere]

(WHAT)

Exactly why would I have an eye patch?

[incendere]

I appreciate the offer, but I'll pass. I doubt a picture such as that would help me at all. Besides, with the amount I have to do, it's possible it could get lost amongst the piles. I'd hate for you to lose a picture of your daughter for my sake.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Guess it wouldn't.
