[Ed looks a little worse for wear, but not much more than normal. His expression is a little lacking, bordering on blank, but he does that a lot, doesn't he -- acting like nothing's wrong. He's rolling his shoulder, the automail arm, like he's testing it; making sure it works properly. When he's satisfied, he glances at the communicator, picking it

YOU'VE JUST CAUGHT: NOSY LOLI CANNIBAL

[nomnomguts]

Ah, are you quite all right? [She likes to keep tabs on Ed, okay? like a creeper, and she remembers that arm, oh she does~]

o just what i've always wanted :D

[priceoftruth]

[...?] Yeah. Everything's all right.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[nomnomguts]

[She wonders how much she ought to pry into his business-- they aren't close enough that it could be considered casual inquiry, but playing the curious little girl has worked well enough before. Still, he seemed smarter than the average cattle, which was really not saying much at all.]

Oh, that's certainly good to hear. ...to be honest, you seemed a little preoccupied~

ironically his birthday is at the beginning of february 83

[priceoftruth]

[Pause; trying to figure out what to say. Ed's memories on her are pretty damn complicated, too, so this is a tough one.]

... Been a rough week or two, I guess.

[This youma succeeded where Riful didn't. :< DISLIKE.]

Ah, that's a pity... [Losing interest, she doesn't care about Eddo's problems.]

Selim explained a little about alchemy to me, but I'm afraid I still don't understand. Just what does it do, exactly~?

[priceoftruth]

It's not important. [Yeah. The youma doesn't care about Ed's problems either, so let's move on. 8D]

Turning one substance into another. Basically, rearranging the chemical compounds of an object so that it becomes something else.

[nomnomguts]

[Yeah, Ed, no one cares that your mom is bread about your problems. XD]

So it's a form of magic, then?

[priceoftruth]

[Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, i guess i'll go eat worms. 8(]

Yeah. [EXCEPT IT'S NOT, and Ed would say that, but the youma is getting a headache trying to wrap its brain around this stuff in the first place] ...Close enough, anyway.

[nomnomguts]

[Or people, apparently.]

Goodness, how exciting! And it's the sort of thing you can teach others~?

[priceoftruth]

[Yes. That. goddammit your canon is freaky]

Yeah. It's a common practice in my world -- some people get it, some don't. But it's teachable.

[nomnomguts]

[|D /dances]

Oh, how interesting! Maybe I ought to join you sometime.

[priceoftruth]

Interested? Heh. I wouldn't object to that.
