Public;

[There's a Mustang, seated at his desk in his office. He's looking better than he has in a while, and as serious as ever.]I'm nearly done compiling my notes. Apologies for the delay on posting the information I've managed to gather so far

[Did someone say lists? Adah loves lists.]

May I look at them?

[thewarisover]

Certainly. You're welcome to come to the office, if you don't want to wait for the files to be posted to the network.

Thank you. I may be over later today, if you are still available.

[thewarisover]

I will be until evening, unless something happens.

Video | YOUR LOVELY SPAM, ZEPHY. (Have some of mine. 1/3)

[thewarisover]

That's correct. One Rose Thomas.

[An eyebrow twitch, at the mention of Lust.] Wrath admitted to destroying her, in my world. It appeared as though the Fullmetal I know had allied with her, at that point.

[thewarisover]

[Then, with Alphonse...]

He didn't remember anything after his and his brother's attempt at human transmutation. The others have taken to telling him details, as they go along.

[This guy again, huh. Well, this 'alternate world' stuff didn't really concern him as things were, but maybe it would be good to know about. Just in case.]

You've got my attention.

[Video; Filtered]

[thewarisover]

Good.

Let's make it a trade. My information for yours.

[Video; Filtered]

[alldesires]

Deal. But I warn you, there's a thing or two I might not feel like sharing.

[Smirks.]

The same could be said for me.

[Now, for starters... have the following text bit, Greed, from the report you've been filtered out of.]

Homunculus. The creation of a Homunculus in my version of our world is through the failure to successfully transmute a human being. A Homunculus, then, is an soulless, empty shell that subsists on Philosopher's stones, and wears the skin of the subject that the original alchemist was attempting to transmute. I suspect that the 'personalities' they possess are residual memories of their original combined with an almost bestial instinct that best suited the flaws of their original or the circumstances of their creation (hence, the peculiar way they are named?), and are in no way equivalent to the person whose components they are made from.

[Back to video.]

How does this differ from the way things are done with your kind?

Hmm. Lets see. First question, and this is mostly just out of curiosity since you've peeked it now:

Did you know me? Was I different in any way?

Two: Wrath was under my care? What was this Wrath like? If I'm right our Wrath was the Fuhrer, but you said he's Pride [she's. Imagining taking care of the Fuhrer and it's a rather disturbing image]

Three: ...what exactly led up to Edward's disappearance?

...A Parliament, huh? I wonder if it'd manage to work out in the long run.

[thewarisover]

No.

Cast Filter

[thewarisover]

No, you're not very different.

[endthiscycle]

Pretty good! And you don't have to worry about secrecy anymore---I told Edward and Alphonse.

In fact they've joined me now.

Filter to Winry

[thewarisover]

[Wide eyes and momentary speechlessness are pretty much Mustang's equivalent of asldkhg;hshd OMG.]

...What?

[Filtered]

[endthiscycle]

Yea. The two of them, of course, weren't exactly thrilled with my choice, so Alphonse proposed that they accompany me and get training too. [she shrugs]

Didn't seem like a bad idea, so I agreed. It's...been strangely fun, honoestly.

[Filtered]

[thewarisover]

...Well, as long as it has proven not to be incredibly risky in any way...

[And he can't help himself, of course.]

I might have to ask you, then, to share what you've learned sometime.
