Where...where the hell am I? This is not Amestris!

Where did my alchemy lab go?

Mother, if this has to do with another one of your insane schemes, you could have warned me!

Damn it all, can't even leave her alone for a minute.

((ooc: what if Dante and Hohenheim's child had never died of mercury poisoning and Envy had never been created? Since

Private to "Envy" - 1/3

[a_rotted_heart]

Now, I'm going to need you to go draw those circ--

[OOC; Because I'm cruel to my muse.]

Private to Dante

[theenviousone]

No! I'm not going to just leave you like this!

((ooc: XDD Poor thing. And Philip is hard headed >.>))

Private

[a_rotted_heart]

I'm fine!

[OOC; XD Aww, he takes after his mummy. And his daddy. Hm.]

Private

[theenviousone]

*has totally turned up in front of Dante, staring her down*

Mother, I demand to know what's happening.

Private

[a_rotted_heart]

*is... ignoring him, really. Too freaked out nao, thanks*

... It's a curse. It must be another of those wretched curses!

Private

[theenviousone]

*grabs her by the shoulders*

Look at me, Mother! Tell me what's going on! What curses? People keep on mentioning them but no one will explain!

Private

[a_rotted_heart]

*just stares at him for a while, as if trying to figure out if he really is there*

... They change things. Two days ago you were a newly born homunculus. Today you must not have become a homunculus at all.

Private

[theenviousone]

*lets go of her and stumbles backwards in shock*

A...a homunculus? I don't understand.

Private

[a_rotted_heart]

People are calling you Envy because yesterday that is who you were. The boy Philip died of mercury poisoning at a young age. Hohenheim of Light tried to bring him back and created the homunculus Envy.

Private

[theenviousone]

Father...did...what?

You're lying! I never died! I'm here, aren't I? I remember everything; learning alchemy, living with both of you, the experiments and research, you switching bodies...!

Private

[a_rotted_heart]

I don't know how or why you remember those things. They never happened, and by midnight you'll be dead again.

... I'm sorry.

Private

[theenviousone]

They did happen! I know they did.

I'm not going to die that easily! I wouldn't be stupid enough to die from mercury poisoning. And if I did, Father would never break the taboos far enough to try and bring me back, he knows what could happen!

Private

[a_rotted_heart]

What did happen. He knew it was taboo, but he had to try. You were too important to him--to both of us.

He failed the transmutation and left us, too horrified to care for what he'd created.

Private

[theenviousone]

It...it wouldn't have been me who was brought back anyway.

He left...

*cue him collapsing into a chair and covering his face with his hands, not knowing what to say.*

Private

[a_rotted_heart]

No. It wasn't you. Like I said, it was a homunculus named Envy. He hated Hohenheim for leaving us.

*reaches out a hand, but can't quite bring herself to go to him, and draws back with a pained look*

Private

[theenviousone]

*he laughs; an empty, toneless sound*

I wouldn't have taken Father leaving very well either.

*he looks up at her*

I can't believe that my life never happened.
