YOU'VE GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME--

[Phone]

[In a very calm voice.]

That's it. I'm done.

If anyone would like to join me for a drink, bring as many vodka bottles as you can to City Hall. Make sure to bring your matches, too, if you have them. I'm not doing this anymore. If you want to help me, do yourself a goddamn favor and stop what you're doing. And do something.

This has to stop.

W-wait, Mr. Hughes, wait!

[Sorry, but he killed some of those people on that list; it was his fault. He has to make amends. So no reply for you! He'll be at City Hall.]

[steel_massifail]

[[With naught but a shovel and his clothes, Massimo heads down to town hall to see if he can knock some sense into Hughes. Possibly literally.]]

[TOO BAD! He's already so screwed up, he can't see straight. But even with the stumbling and sloppy throws, he's getting them where he wants them to go.]

Fuck your communism, you filthy pieces of--!!

[He trails off to grit his teeth and throw more shit.]

[wontjustwait]

What are you... MR HUGHES!!!

[ Winry would have liked to curl up and cry, but she's on her feet and running out the door within seconds of the phonecall. Hughes might notice her running his way, trying to grab him and stop him lighting things on fire and such. It might be noted that she's crying. ] STOP IT!!!! What are you doing?!

[best_papa_evar]

[Heeey, Winry, how's it going? You just grabbed the arm without his hand, so it hardly stops him from hurling another cocktail at one of the windows while gritting his teeth so hard you could hear it.]

[wontjustwait]

[ She flinches and lets go when she realizes he's missing a hand. Then forces herself to keep calm. Since well, she can't turn back now. Winry tries to get herself in front of him and push him against a wall or something. ]

Stop it, please, you've got to STOP! This isn't going to help anything!

[best_papa_evar]

[He can't hear you, it seems, and pulls away to get another bottle.]

[glowing_science]

[Allowing for a small side trip to fulfill her promise to Fran, Ema arrives with vodka and some matches.

She stole them while she was in the factory. One last little FUCK YOU to the system.]

I heard you needed a drink and a light. [She smirks a little, but it's a grim expression.]

[best_papa_evar]

[He looked at her, quite serious, and nods.]

This is worth getting droned or killed for.

[glowing_science]

I agree.

You're going to have to show me how to concoct one of these. I understand the scientific concepts well enough, but exactly not the execution.

[best_papa_evar]

[And he proceeds to show you very elegantly...

AND TOSSES THAT SHIT AS HARD AS HE CAN AT CITY HALL.]

[anchorthatholds]

[Just kind of sitting on the front step to her apartment building, having stopped crying by now, but looking like her whole world has shattered. She doesn't even seem to notice that things are on fire!]

[best_papa_evar]

[Heeeey, there's Hughes! He's throwing shit at the City Hall and lighting the brush nearby on fire!]

[anchorthatholds]

[Good throwing arm! 10/10!

It takes Nadia quite a few moments to register what exactly he's doing -- she's convinced herself that this is all a dream and may just be a little drunk right now. Everything is surreal and in a moment, she's drifting off in his direction until she's by his side.]

What are you..?

[best_papa_evar]

[He's not stopping.]

I'm making amends to Jolt and Kallen and your sister--!! And Al...!!

[kunaitotheface]

[Is totally trying to break the damn front door down.]

[best_papa_evar]

[Hang on Xing lass, he'll try and break it down with you!]

[kunaitotheface]

[Does not know who the heck you are but thanks. Keeps on trying.]

[best_papa_evar]

[Dude, I met Ling once, and he was a totally cool guy.

FOR LING AND THE OTHEEEEERS!!]
