26th Transformation [video/action for travelmates | Backdated to 11/24]

[exeggutorhead]

[This 'Gear feet is a video, but it's so dark you wouldn't be able to tell. It's clearly an accident, so maybe it's just that the device is in Envy's coat pocket. Or it could just be that dark where he is. Either way, viewers will be able to hear the sounds of scuffling and Envy exclaiming quietly.]

--quit stepping on my feet!

Oh, that was you.

...you have a boat?

[This is totally not the point, but England is making it the point because damn it! He wants a boat!]

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

Well it's not...ours, it's the ferry to that island town. Cianwood.

[That's okay England, Envy is definitely okay with talking about boats and not how they aren't on this particular one intentionally.]

[Video]

[somanytosofew]

Oh. Pity really. ...you're stowing away, I take it? I used to keelhaul people who stowed away on my ships.

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

...Guess we're lucky this isn't your ship, then. [Because that certainly sounds unpleasant.]

And it's not like we stowed away on purpose.

[Video]

[somanytosofew]

Most likely. I rather miss it all; attacking other ships to steal their treasure... ah, those were the days.

...how do you stow away not on purpose?

[Video 1/2]

[exeggutorhead]

So you were some kind of pirate, then? [Envy looks both amused and interested to hear more. Amestris hasn't ever had pirates for obvious reasons, unless there were somehow lake pirates. All they've got is train hijackers.]

[Video 1/2]

[somanytosofew]

I was a pirate, yes. Sailing the seas in search Spain's ships so I could thoroughly bugger them up. That was always satisfying.]

[Video 2/2]

[exeggutorhead]

[And then that questions. Envy frowns, looking the tiniest bit sheepish, but mostly has that 'not our fault in the slightest' look to him.] We were hiding in one of the lifeboats while it was docked and it left before we could get out. It's not our fault they didn't check before leaving.

[Video 2/2]

[somanytosofew]

[England just regards him for a long moment and can't quite hide the small smile.]

Ah, I see. I still suggest mutiny and taking over the ship.

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

Spain, huh? [Envy looks...pretty amused at this. He may not know much about what Spain is like, but he does know that's where Miguel and Tulio are from.]

[But huh. Mutiny. Envy looks like he is totally considering this, a smirk spreading across his face.]

You know, that might not be a bad idea. Beats sitting in a lifeboat for three days.

[Video]

[somanytosofew]

[England nods.]

Yes. Some of the best years of my life were spent liberating Spanish gold.

[He actually looks a bit dreamy at the memory.]

I would say. And there doesn't seem to be much of a sea-patrol out there to stop you.

[Video]

[greatbigrock]

-- no? Do you really think we'd be hiding on our own boat?

[Hi, excuse the snarky interruption. :I]

[Video]

[somanytosofew]

Why not? It's a good way to hide. Change the flags you're flying and everyone thinks you're from a different country.

...and it makes it very easy to attack them.

[Video]

[greatbigrock]

[Riiight... gonna just quietly eye you for a moment.]

... and you know a lot about that kind of thing?

[Video]

[somanytosofew]

...I perhaps have some experience in that area.

[Video]

[greatbigrock]

So are you a boatsman or something?
