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

[taking in, taking in - some disturbances, but in reality, he felt he could piece things together pretty well on his own (and everyone else was bound to ask the right questions for him), so, instead, in a lightly appreciative tone:]

And all compiled under a year. Geez. But it all looks about right, as expected. We really need to find a way of categorizing the two, since saying 'version one and version two' might cause some strife. [casual, casual.] Thanks for compiling it, R--

[everyonecried]

[wait.]

Done. Quickly.

[everyonecried]

[so much for no questions.]

...

Brigadier General?

wait no now done. )x;

[this might be the cut-off of an underbreath curse.] -- You know, and I forgot the bad sense of humor.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

[Strange look, perhaps. Text again? Now that he thinks about it, he's never actually seen her post using the voice or video functions.]

How are you settling in at Death City now? I don't think I managed to ask you, the last time we talked.

[Luckily her typing is quick enough that she can keep up fairly well in a conversation despite it.]

I've settled in quite well, I think. I've recently acquired a puppy, actually.

Have you been well, lists aside?

[thewarisover]

...Puppy?

And I could be better, but things are working out, I suppose.

[soulparadox]

Another person with one eye.

[thewarisover]

...Well, yes.

[Seen you around before, yep.]

[soulparadox]

I do not care much about any of that information, Roy Mustang. The only people that I care about are present and it does not matter when they appeared so long as they continue to appear before me.

We have a connection now, though, so I suppose that means I should care about if you continue to appear as well, Roy Mustang.

[thewarisover]

I suppose we do. I believe this is the first time we've spoken.

[...Wait. That doesn't answer the reason why you specified the whole 'one eye' thing, kid. o_O]

I find your initial greeting to me odd. Does the fact that I have one eye interest you somehow?

[He saw the post, but hasn't gotten around to reading it yet.]

[You know, he was going to do the private filter, but since he asked.]

As far as differences go, there is something I want to ask in regards to your world, Colonel.

[Cast filter]

[thewarisover]

What is it?

[Cast filter]

[for_xing]

You said that Maria Ross picked up ah- Is it Lieutenant Colonel or Brigadier General?- Hughes' work after he died.

Is that implying she was not framed for his murder?

[Cast filter]

[thewarisover]

She wasn't. In fact, in my version of the world, no one from the military was charged with the murder.

And if you notice a pattern?

[thewarisover]

Then there might be a way to predict BREW's behavior. Understand it better.

Voice;

[nebensonne]

You might.

... But is there any point in understanding something you can't control? You'll probably feel more helpless.

Video;

[thewarisover]

We don't know whether that's true yet, actually. If it's something we can control, or not.

As to helplessness, well... that is something people choose to feel, ultimately.
