3rd Move - King Sets Board on Fire

[canhasfuhrer]

Action - 5725 Cunningham Lane - Morning

[It's been a few days since Roy Mustang received a peculiar postcard in the mail - simply a picture of a transmutation circle. Odd. He's waited to act on it, but now seems as good a time as any. So in the morning, in the kitchen of all places, Roy Mustang is using a stick of butter to draw a large circle

[ Give her a minute! She's been working dutifully in her lab for some time on a project or two. So, she rushes up the stairs to try to make herself look as presentable as possible to whomever is at that door.

Oh. It's Mr. Mustang. What did he want?

Sigh. She decides to open the door for him, just to be courteous at least. ]

Hello. What did you need me for?

[canhasfuhrer]

Is there somewhere private we can go? There's something you need to see.

[It's not quite an apology, but give him time. He's getting there]

[notalwystrthful]

[ Her first thought is her lab, but with all the chemicals and equipment in there, she thinks better of it. That, and she's not sure what this 'something' is. Though... ]

I suppose we could use my lab. It's fairly private enough.

[canhasfuhrer]

[A lab? For a less precise man, that'd spell trouble. But for him?]

I'll be careful. Promise.

[She's in the park looking for an empty bench to eat the lunch Buccaneer had embarrassingly sent her off to work with. She appreciated the gesture, but won't tell anyone he made it for her.]

[She's about to sit down when she sees the flames and scan the park for Mustang. She groans, but approaches him.]

So, you've earned your first stripe here.

[canhasfuhrer]

[Olivier. Always the most pleasant of company. Awesome]

[But she gets a smile, like always]

I would have preferred the complete package, but I'll take what I can get.

You know you secretly love her, Mustang.

[flowers_suck]

They like to play with us far too much to give us everything at once. Although, I would think you could make your gloves on your own.

[canhasfuhrer]

[He sighs]

I can make a decent enough facsimile for now, but ignition cloth isn't simple to make. It'll take time, and it's best to be prepared sooner than later. Right, General Armstrong?

Morning

[mylife4food]

[Oh god what is going on here.]

That-! That is not how you use butter!!

[canhasfuhrer]

[He looks up, smiling at his not-son]

It's nothing to worry about! I'm almost done, and I'm sure Riza's dog will be happy to help with the clean-up. You should watch your step though, it does make the floor slick.

[mylife4food]

N-No, w-wait! A dog cannot eat it all!

[canhasfuhrer]

I said help! I'm not about to torture the poor boy, I like dogs.

[He seems to have completed the major circle, and is working on the details now]

[ action | the park ]

[walkwaves]

[ The fire caught Ian's attention, so he stops to watch, leaning against a tree. He lets out a low whistle ]

That's quite impressive.

[canhasfuhrer]

[That's the downside to the park being a good place to not accidentally destroy things - it's also not exactly private. But Roy's a charming fellow and he'll smile at the newcomer]

I'm glad you think so! Fire is something of a specialty of mine.

[walkwaves]

I can tell. If you don't mind my asking, is it magic?

[canhasfuhrer]

Actually, it's science! The science of Alchemy. You don't have that where you're from?

[badend_replay]

Is that alchemy?

[ Rika is suddenly there and doing what she does best! Creeping. She assumes it must be alchemy, if Mustang comes from Ed's world and all. ]

[canhasfuhrer]

[You're the best creeper, Rika. He turns to look at you, still smiling]

Oh, Miss Rika! Yes, that's my alchemy.

[badend_replay]

It is much different from Edward's! You go snap snap and Edward goes clap clap!

[canhasfuhrer]

[OH GOD SHE'S TOO CUTE. Except she reminds him a little of Elicia right now which makes him somewhat sad, but he keeps his sadness hidden behind that smile]

Well, it's a little different. All my snapping can do is fire, unfortunately.
