[Third Flame]: [Accidental Audio] [Morning of the 15th]

[honootaisa]

[Comm clicks on to the sound of hung over groaning from Roy. He's also muttering to himself.]

That was completely pointless... all we did was get drunk, and all Maes did was chase everyone away by shoving pictures of Elicia in their faces... it's not like I actually managed to hook up with some one...

[Roy shifts and apparently rolls over on his bed.]

Mornin, sweet cheeks!

[Roy screams, there's a crash, and 'Havoc' (his partner, not Jean) cracks up laughing.]

Oh man the look on your face, chief! Priceless! Just priceless!

DAMMIT, HAVOC! GET OUT OF MY BED!

[Roy picks up the nearest object - which is of course his D-Comm - and chucks it at Havoc. The comm cuts off to fading laughing as his partner is already running away.]

[MUAHAHAHAHAHA]

In other words, you probably haven't been to one at all, so I'll be sure to do that.

But if guns aren't good enough for you, then I'll show you the ropes with my push-knives. You need some kind of protection, firebug.

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

... I'll stick with guns. If I can even get one, not working for DATS.

[notanalchemist.livejournal.com]

Given the kind of place this is, I'm sure there's a law about letting civilians carry. Of course, you know what the other answer to that is, don't you?

GET A JOB! You need to be able to support that future girlfriend of yours~

I like being retired, and I'm not interested.

You're bored.

... no I'm not.

Yesterday you counted ceiling tiles. Then tried to find their square root. And then made fractions based on how many holes each tile had.

...Traitor.

[notanalchemist.livejournal.com]

Heh. If you're anything like the Roy from my world, and from what I've seen you are, Havoc's right and you're bored out of your skull, retirement or no retirement.

Look, when I first got here someone sent me a whole lot of info on that Guttony homunculus you told me about. Apparently he's here, in the digital world, and he's already preyed on a bunch of people, but what with all the things that happen around here no one can afford to dedicate much time to the case, and no one's seen him in a while anyway.

What say you and I go to DATS and ask to take it over?

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

[sigh] Yes, yes, I'm bored. Bored to tears even.

But I'm not just going to waltz in to DATS and demand to take over that case. For one thing, it's Greg's, and it has been for a while now. I already knew her was here and Greg and I have had several lengthy conversations about it.

You still gotta find something to do, chief.

I know.

[notanalchemist.livejournal.com]

Woah, hey, who said anything about 'demanding'? 'Cos I know I said 'ask'.

Look, I know you're not Investigations, Roy, so trust me when I say that there's got a be a certain amount of give and take in the department. From what I've heard a lot of shit goes down here, which means a lot of cases, and a lot of stuff backing up. You and I would know Gluttony better than anyone, and taking over the case would leave one less for Sanders to have to worry about.

This isn't a pissing contest. This is about resolving the cases as soon as possible, with the best people possible for them. I, for one, wouldn't limit myself to the Gluttony case ... but I won't deny it's the one I'm most interested in, either.

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

Hnn... [pondering]

The way I hear it, there isn't much to the case right now. Gluttony's partner drove him to some remote, less populated area and nothing's really been broadcasted since.

But I get what you mean. And it does seem like they're always in need of extra hands in that department.

[notanalchemist.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kats said no one's heard from him in a while. Still, no point in assuming he'll never be seen again.

And of course I'm right! I'm Maes Hughes and I'm a father, I'm ALWAYS right~! *pose*

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

... [twitching on the other side of the comm now] You just couldn't keep this conversation normal for too long, could you?

[notanalchemist.livejournal.com]

Of course not, that would be boring! And we've just established how much you hate boredom~!

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

[groaaan]

I'm going back to bed.

[notanalchemist.livejournal.com]

Heh. Sleep tight, firebug.
