[The communicator switches on when it hits the floor. It's in the high school library which is empty save for Sakon, holding the redhaired puppet Ukon. It's hard to tell what they're doing at first, but it seems they're in the middle of rehearsing a scene from the final act of The Courier from Hell, Ukon playing out Chubei's movements with expert

[You know, he's never actually seen this puppetry in action. Woah. It's kind of impressive, for being some weird artsy thing.] ... Huh.

[priceoftruth]

[...HOWEVER I AM TOO COOL TO BE IMPRESSED WITHOUT BEING A SMARTASS] [...] Damn puppet's always a critic, isn't he?

[boy_fatality]

He's right though. A puppeteer has to be as aware of their surroundings as they are at perfecting the movement and...

Sorry I'm rambling...

[priceoftruth]

... Guess you'd know better than me. I've never seen anything like that.

[boy_fatality]

Sorry... it's what my family does, back home.

You don't have any kind of puppet theater where you're from, Elric-san?

[priceoftruth]

Seems similar to acting, in a sense -- guess it's an interesting way to earn a living.

Hell if I know. Maybe. ...Probably, in one way or another. I've just never seen it.

[boy_fatality]

[He laughs softly.] Yes. It is that.

I see. I thought I asked as you mentioned once you traveled a lot.

[priceoftruth]

...Heh. We did, yeah. Never really stopped to do any sightseeing though.

[boy_fatality]

Ah. I think I can fathom a guess as to why you're in a hurry, and perhaps it's not my place to say, but it's good to stop for a while and enjoy the sights if the chance presents itself. It is something that may never come again.

[Translation: I basically get that you live a dangerous life and can be reckless as hell, therefore I am suggesting you stop and smell the roses before you possibly die at a horrendously young age.]

[...]

Not exactly an "enjoying the sights" type of guy, to be honest. But I'll keep it in mind.

[Translation: I'm too manly for this rose-smelling, and besides, Amestris doesn't exactly have a plethora of these figurative roses anyway.]

[boy_fatality]

I hope so.

[Translation: Stop being so fucking masculine.]

[priceoftruth]

Thanks for the suggestion, at any rate.

[Translation: one of us has to be. 8|]

do you think they actually understand the subtext of what they say?

[boy_fatality]

I'm always happy to dispense advice.

[Translation: Are you implying I'm girly?]

i'm not sure ed knows the meaning of this subtext

[priceoftruth]

... Heh. Might need to find yourself a few better listeners, then.

[Translation: ...Sakon, you're wearing makeup.]

[boy_fatality]

Ah. Perhaps that may explain why you're always coming up with mad schemes.

[Translation: ...My tendency to wear makeup and extremely feminine voice are totally beside the point. You're the one with the reckless ideas.]

[priceoftruth]

What the hell do you mean, "always?!"

[Translation: Reckless or not, they totally get the job done.]
