[Voice/Private, May 21st]

[goldenglasses]

Hello, Ed? My name is Vash, Winry asked me to talk to you. [Let's make sure we have the right person before we get into the nitty gritty.]

[Voice/Private]

[truthget]

Yeah, that's me. I wanted to talk to you too- about this guy who's getting automail.

[Voice/Private]

[goldenglasses]

[Yup, sounds like he has the right guy.] Legato, he might not look like much, but he can be very dangerous. He has the ability to take control over someone's body at will.

[Voice/Private]

[truthget]

[jksdhkf uncool.]

Control them!? How!?

Re: [Voice/Private]

[goldenglasses]

I'm not really sure. I've seen him do it over a distance, so he doesn't even need to be looking at his targets. [That's right, targets, more than one.]

[Voice/Private]

[truthget]

[More than one. Yeah, Ed doesn't miss that part, and it just makes him more nervous.]

What're the chances that he'll try to hurt someone?

[Voice/Private]

[goldenglasses]

So far as I can tell, he doesn't exactly want a man hunt after him. Not to mention he needs Winry for this. I want to say he won't try anything, but he's not exactly easy to read.

[Voice/Private]

[truthget]

An ability like that means he'll be dangerous even when he's recovering from the surgery. How do you fight someone with that kind of power...?

[Voice/Private]

[goldenglasses]

There isn't much to do, maybe if he was groggy he couldn't get control. Besides knocking him unconscious I haven't seen him have many weaknesses.

[Voice/Private]

[.......]

Winry really knows how to pick them. [Now he's really sure this'll be nothing but trouble.]

[Voice/Private]

[goldenglasses]

Well, I'm really hopeful nothing will go wrong.

[Voice/Private]

[truthget]

[Uuugh, fine, you be hopeful, and he'll be cynical, and maybe things will even out between them.]

...It's likely that once the surgery is under way he won't be able to do anything, at least. It's pretty intense, and you can't just walk away from it.

[Voice/Private]

[goldenglasses]

I know. [In more ways than one.] That's the part I'm most worried about actually, he has a surprisingly high tolerance for pain, but may feel the need to take extra precautions to protect himself while he's recovering. [Vash can clearly remember shooting the man four time and he hardly blinking. As much as he'd like to forget.]

[Voice/Private]

[truthget]

It's not just pain. The surgery comes with a fever strong enough to knock a person flat and make them cough up blood for days. Even the strongest people shouldn't take it lightly.

[After going through it twice, he remembers it clearly- sometimes it had been so bad he'd thought he was going to die.]

[Voice/Private]

[goldenglasses]

Legato won't like that. [Vash had remembered the intense pain that had come from the attachment of his own arm, but the coughing blood is new.]

[Voice/Private]

[truthget]

That's what worries me. At the time it could seem like the surgery is doing more harm than good, and if he reacts badly instead of dealing with it...

[Dammit, now he really wants to be in the operating room to keep an eye on things.]
