001: Incoming ham.
Characters: Alex Louis Armstrong and open
Location: The Plaza
Time: Noon.
Style: Whatever you want
Status: Open
[The plaza was the normal spot for new people to arrive at and not even an eight foot tall muscular alchemist was an exception. The Major's body was laying on the floor, shifting. He got up and righted himself. Looking around, he didn't ( Read more... )
[Shhh, shhh, only staring now.]

Oh, I notice you staring.
[Oh god, now you did it.]
It's quite alright my friend, most people cannot resist these muscles!
[He then flexes a few times, pink sparkles radiating from his body]
Reply
[Curse being stuck in this centaur's body, without his full musculature!]
[Sorry, sir, did you expect a response? For now... just staaaaaring.]
Reply
[So yeah, don't mind him, he's just gonna ham it up a bit, flexing and whatnot.]
So, my friend. Do you happen to know where I am?
[Flex, flex, sparkle, sparkle.]
Because I am MOST CONFUSED!

[Can't let this guy have all the fun. Equius is just going to flex a little too before he answers the question.]
You are in Vatheon.
[How do you sparkle like that, teeeeach him?]
It's a city under the sea.
Reply
Ah, thank you so very much!
[Flexs even harder]
So you like flexing, do you? It take a true man to be able to do it correctly!
[Are you blinded yet? No? Well the sparkles are going to keep coming.]
I learned from my father. IT IS A TECHNIQUE THAT HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!
Reply
[Flex, flex, flex, WHY CAN'T HE SPARKLE LIKE THAT?]
[Ew, gross, fathers and families. Humans can be so vulgar. He's going to ignore it though for the sake of this new friendship.]
My lusus taught me.
Reply
[He stops flexing for a bit and looks curiously at his new friend, but he is still sparkling. :3]
If you don't mind me asking, could you explain what that is? I'm not exactly from around this area.

A lusus is a custodial guardian for young trolls. They raise and protect their charge.
[He tilts his head, looking surprised.]
You actually look quite a bit like mine.
[Except for the whole "not having a horse body and an udder" thing. Details, details.]
Reply
[interesting, Major has never heard of this before.]
I've never heard of real live trolls before. I've always thought they were fictional. Tell me, do they have any trolls with muscles like this?!
Reply
Right now I'm a centaur. But when the curse is over, yes, I'll be a troll again.
[Sob... why did this amazing human have to show up when he's stuck in the wrong body?]
When I'm a troll... yes, I do have muscles like that.
[MOAR FLEXING!]
Reply
[Oh god, now he's angry]
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY SOMEONE'S MUSCLES! THESE ARE GAINED THROUGH HARD WORK AND MOTIVATION! THEY ARE A REPRESENTATION OF A MAN'S SOUL!
[He is flexing with different poses while doing the speech. He then puts on his gauntlets.]
Tell me who did this, so I may show them the true might of the Strong Arm Alchemist, ALEX LOUIS ARMSTRONG!!!
[Strikes a final pose.]

[was]
[that?]

[Easy does it there, human, you'll give him a case of the vapors!]
No one took them, exactly... Vatheon gets curses sometimes, and when that happens, we change. I don't usually have a horse body, or brown skin, but this week I do.
My muscles will be back when the curse is over, I'm sure.
[Which he has mixed feelings about, but he's not going to share that information right now.]
Reply
[Gauntlets "magically" disappear. He then folds his arms.]
Well, you do seem to be holding up alright. In case you didn't catch my name, I am Alex Louis Armstrong. It is a pleasure to meet you.
[He holds out his hand for a shake]
Reply
Equius Zahhak. Likewise, a pleasure.
[He just has a feeling that they're going to be great friends.]
Are there any questions I can answer for you? I know that arriving here for the first time is often disorienting and confusing.
