There is a thoroughly emo Ed.

He is hiding.

Someone should tell him that the roof is where everybody comes to emo, and that he's not safe here. Duh.

Okay!

"If you're trying to escape everyone," says Veronica, almost cheerily, "bad choice of location."

[edmuse]

Ed for the lose.

"I'm pretty sure some of the people I'm avoiding won't come up here!"

He hopes so, or he might push the Fuhrer off the roof.

[usedtobeone]

"Well, yeah -- you're right about that, everyone wouldn't come up here. Sometimes I do, and I know River does a lot, and sometimes Mel, so even if that's just three people, it's still three teenage girls and that to most people is a frightening prospect."

Veronica is perky. Perky sometimes helps to cancel out emo!

[edmuse]

Ed is immune to perky. An overenthusiastic mechanic has cured him of any care to Perky.

"... Eh."

He doesn't care! He has deemed this a Sulk Okay zone.

[usedtobeone]

Veronica now almost has a Cause to be sure that he never becomes entirely immune to Perk.

It's an important thing to always have some sort of biological tolerance for it, just in case of emergency.

"Sleazy Chinese tabloids?" she offers.

[edmuse]

"...what?"

Ed gives her a strange look. "...sleazy what now?" His brow is up. His expressoin is dubious. Who do you think he is, Roy Mustang?

[usedtobeone]

The copy of what looks like the Enquirer, only it's actually a small Xi'an production, is produced from Veronica's bag.

"This," she explains, "is a sleazy tabloid. Or else, I think it is, but I don't know who these people are. She looks a little like Annie, but otherwise ..."

[edmuse]

There is a glance at it. "So we look at pictures that might be scandalous, 'cept we can't read a work of it... so...?"

[usedtobeone]

"Some people can read it. They're meant to be printed for everyone to poke fun at, but since I can't get an internet signal --"

Pushing another button on her Sidekick, it suddenly starts playing U2's Greatest Hits.

In Chinese.

Veronica stares at it.

[edmuse]

"Uh."

He sort of Looks at the thing, because he's NEVER HEARD SOMETHING LIKE THAT MAKE MUSIC.

...not that he thinks that's music. "The devil is coming out of that?"

[usedtobeone]

"I think it's one of my mp3s. Only ... not. Or maybe it's the radio."

The look she has is more like 'who translates u2?'

"Not that I knew we had clear radio out here -- must be that we're close to a signal tower, up on the roof of all places. Funny, that."

[edmuse]

He just sort of looks at it. "Radio? That's the sort of music you listen to?"

Ed's era of music is big band.

[usedtobeone]

"It sounds better in English," Veronica admits, "but yeah. Actually, this is pretty old for 21st century. Not old like oldies-old, but vaguely old."

[edmuse]

He shrugs. "Not like ANYTHING I've got at home," he says, giving her Sidekick a look. Strange newfangled weird widgets.

Something squeezes around the area of his heart when he thinks Winry would adore it all.
