Cuuuuuute!

People are suddenly sprouting cat ears and tails! They're really cute, I want one! Are any of you up for adoption? I promise to give you lots of food and water, and a soft bed to sleep on. And plenty of jelly-bunnies to play with.

I wish I had cat ears and a tail... Maybe Eva would like me more if I did...

Do you want a boot in the face to go along with the ears and the tail?

[glowy_brows]

Sheesh, you and Silver are no fun. At least Vash has a sense of humor...

[bloodred_flamel]

I highly doubt you'd have a sense of humour about it if you were TOTALLY inconvenienced by the appearance of the ears and the tail.

Do I look like I care if other people have a sense of humour about it?

[glowy_brows]

I think having ears and a tail are really cute. You people just don't know a good thing when it hits you.

Man, don't you have a girlfriend to rub your ears for you or something?

[bloodred_flamel]

I don't think being a potential target for court-martial is a good thing at all.

... Excuse me? Are you some sort of perv?

[glowy_brows]

Court-martial? So you're in the military, I take it? I used to be a soldier.

No, I'm not a perv! I just think a man is happier when he's got a strong woman by his side to support him. You could really use a girl-friend, the way you've been sounding so cranky. Now's your chance to get one!

[bloodred_flamel]

Yeah. I work as a State Alchemist in the army.

... I don't need a girlfriend.

[glowy_brows]

Alchemist? What's that? Some kind of magician? I think I might have read about them in my predecessor's old books. I was just a simple gunner in the army, but then I got dragged into this intergalactic race two years ago, and now I'm some kind of deity (long story...)

Well, you may not think you need a girlfriend, but it sounds like you could certainly use one. Isn't there some special girl who kicks you when you're dragging your ass, or says comforting words when you're feeling down, or fixes you up when you're feeling broken down? It's really hard to make it through this world alone, you know?

[bloodred_flamel]

No. Alchemy is a science in my world, unlike in so many other worlds where it seems to be regarded as magic, which is unreliable and untrustworthy.

... Intergalactic race? And you're a god? ... That's uh. Interesting.

Yeah. Winry does that, but I wouldn't call her a girlfriend. She's something better than that. And I'm not alone just because I don't have a girlfriend- I have my brother and the Rockbells and Mustang's old unit to keep me going.

[glowy_brows]

Hmm... Guess I'll have to read up more on that Alchemy stuff. Sounds complicated, but interesting.

Yeah, the god thing... Sometimes life takes some unexpected turns. REALLY unexpected turns.

Well, its good that you've got such good friends and family looking out for you. Maybe you're just too young to like girls, but one day you will.

So... if you don't like your ears, why don't you just use your Alchemy to make them go away. That, or lose your virginity. From what I hear, the ears mean you're still a virgin.

[bloodred_flamel]

It is. There're entire libraries devoted to it because it's a prevalent science in my world; I should get someone to send you books about elementary alchemy or something.

Yeah. That it does.

I'm sixteen. I should think I'm old enough to like girls.

Life transmutation is tricky even at a basic level, and anything beyond that basic level is highly frowned upon. And I'm not going bedhopping just to lose the ears. I'd rather live with them for a little while more.

[glowy_brows]

Or better yet, I should come visit your world sometime and see this Alchemy stuff in action. I hear it can be pretty flashy.

Well, if there's nothing you can do about the ears, no sense in complaining about them, right? Just try and make the best of a bad situation, you know? Although, I think people should look at it as a blessing in disguise. At least it's not permanent.
