[First Flame]: [Locked from Hostiles]

So... I just talk in to this?

Yeah, talk away.

... alright. *achem* This is Brigadier General Roy Mustang, requesting information and assistance. My... partner and I are currently in the city of Tetha and looking for anyone who may be from the Amestris State Military. We're also kind of covered in muck...

This guy got dropped in the Putrid Ruins of all places. Talk about unlucky! *laughs*

You'd do well to shut up, Havoc. You can laugh when I'm clean again.

Yeah, yeah yeah. By the way, don't look down, chief.

What? Why no-... are we floating?

No, you're hallucinating. [/sarcasm] Of course we're floating! It's Tetha!

[Groan. One can just hear the epic facepalm here before the comm shuts off]

[And there's Roy, sitting on the side of the road, quite effectively covered in swamp muck as he pretty much FELL in to it when he arrived. His jacket is off, but his white shirt isn't very white anymore.

At least he smiles when Sabine pulls up, though he eyes the Denali curiously at the same time.]

That's... quite a large vehicle, Major. Thank you for coming to get me.

[ Instinctively, Sabine raises her right hand and salutes Roy, then brings her hand down. She goes into the Denali's back seat, taking some towels and some jugs of water as she walks over to Roy. ]

You're welcome, sir, and Greg called it a Sport Utility Vehicle. It's really convenient.

[Roy salutes back lazily. He's not really all that concerned about formalities at the moment. He stands and takes one of the jugs of water from her.]

Thank you.

[Not exactly the most ideal way to get clean, but he can worry about that later.]

It's massive... I'm surprised you an drive it so easily.

[ Sabine nods and she chuckles lightly. ]

It was hard to get adjusted to the whole thing, since I'm used to traveling in trains, foot, or by horse and buggy, but I like driving and riding around in it.

I also brought you a change of clothes, sir.

Well, you just thought of everything, didn't you?

[Still talking, he dumps the water on his hair, trying to shake out some of the dried gunk that got in there]

I take it this a vehicle from your boyfriend's world then?

Only for the best, sir.

[ Sabine wonders if she should help him out. Damn it for me being incredibly loyal and not acting without orders in front of my superiors. ]

It is.

[Bah, he's got it handled. Though he probably won't change his pants in front of her at least. He's got some decency.]

Well, it's impressive, I'll say that much about it.

[ Annnnd she turns around on her heel to where her back's facing Roy. ]

And it's one sweet ride, too.

... 'sweet ride'?

[That gets an eyebrow, but he shrugs and takes his shirt off, changing in to the one she brought for him.]

Why would any world have something as horrible as 'Putrid Ruins'...

Hey, some natives live there. Different strokes for different folks, chief.

--oh, um, it's terminology that Greg uses. I think I've picked up on a few of his colloquialisms since I've been here.

[ Sabine keeps her position, looking around for anyone that may come and harm her commanding officer. ]

There's also a place that rivals Drachma's frigid temperatures called Meria here, sir.

Sounds that way.

[He smiles a bit. Apparently he finds it endearing that she's picking up sayings from Greg.]

... I find that hard to believe, but I'm sure I'll be subjected to a tour sooner or later.

I'm sure that Greg can teach you a few new sayings, sir.

[ At Roy's next line, Sabine lets out a soft heh, followed by a little giggling. ]

I'll be your escort, then.

[Roy smiles and pulls down his shirt]

Sounds like a plan on both accounts. Now, I do believe Greg was needing a ride, too. We should probably go get him.

Alright! Oh, you can meet my children, too!

... they're from Greg's world, before you ask.

... [that gets a rather curious eyebrow]

I... take it that's the 'future children' scenario Miss Izumi mentioned to me...

Well, I suppose a congratulations are in order either way. It's not often many of us military types get to go off and have a family.

[ Sabine nods, smiling just a bit wider. Talking about her children, as well as her family, is one way to keep her smiling. ]

Thank you, sir, and they're from the future for me where I'm reborn in Greg's world, and am a very accomplished biochemist. Hee, I pretty much do the same thing that I'm doing now, only that I help catch criminals using evidence.

[ Oh, yeah. She's happy. ]

... this job of his - and I suppose yours too - sounds more interesting by the minute.

[Roy grins, and Havoc scoffs, having finished a cigarette in the time they've taken]

We gonna stand around here gabbin' about it or go pick up this boyfriend of yours sometime before the next millennium?

Ah... I suppose Havoc's right. We should probably go.

I didn't know we had any hot dates to go to tonight, Havoc. [ Sabine says this in a completely teasing tone, but nods in agreement. She takes the remaining supplies, putting them in the trunk and then closes the trunk.

After that's done, she guides Roy to the passenger side seat, opening up the door for him. ]

After you, sir.

Hey! Not funny!

I find it quite funny, Havoc. [Roy snickers at his partner, who promptly sulks and follows after Roy gets inside the Denali] Thank you, Major.

Them's the ropes, Havoc. [ Sabine chuckles back, but nods to Roy, saluting him. ] You're welcome, sir.

[ She closes the door and then walks over to the driver's side, opening the door and getting inside. Shutting the door, she puts on her seatbelt and starts the car up. There's old time music playing on the radio, something that Sabine's finding she enjoys. Taking the car out of park, she starts to drive towards the nearest lightpost for Neon City, getting her communicator ready at the same time. ]

[Roy looks at the lightpost in confusion. HAvoc had shown him how to use one to get out of Putrid Ruins, but...]

Is this huge thing really going to be able to go through that?

Of course, sir!

[ And to illustrate her point, she takes the D-Comm in one hand, the other on the steering wheel. Putting her foot on the gas, the Denali starts to accelerate as Sabine presses a button. Soon enough, the Denali's engulfed in a bright beam of light and they arrive in Neon City. ]

[Roy has a definite 'HOLYSHIT' moment, thinking they're going to crash in to the pole, but once they're through he calms down and takes a deep breath. Now it's Havoc's turn to laugh.]

The look on your face! Priceless!

... Sir?

[ Sabine glances at him, but still keeps driving onward to the hospital. ]

[groan]

I-I'm okay... warn me next time, Major...
