Video 001. [Fruit Event]

[hermetics]

[ Edward Elric is beside himself and the smug grin on his face enough to show it. ]

I.

Am.

Taller.

Who needs nasty ass milk when you've got these things? [ He's holding up a banana, all delighted with himself as though it's his genetics and not the science fucking with him. ] Do you think it's permanent? I mean I could get used to seeing up this high. I bet I even tower over that bastard Colonel now! Oh man, if only he was here to rub it in his arrogant face...

[ He's getting distracted. ]

Anyone else able to figure out what the fruits about? I mean, obviously it's fucking with us, and I'd like a heads up of what to avoid and what might be fun to eat more of.

[ BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER BE TALL ENOUGH. ]

Ed, dear. [Trying not to sound a little haunted here.] what do you think the fruit's really about? Why don't you go show Winry the added benefit.

I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

[ Ohhh thank God for audio, because he doesn't want the look on his face to show. ]

I'm talking specifics, asshole. I know what they're probably going for in general.

Re: Audio

[true_noir]

Heh. Well, if you want specifics, the only thing I'm sure of is that the strawberries have been making me insanely horny. I ate too many fruits to tell you what the others did.

I'm guessing the bananas made you bigger? That explains that.

Audio

[hermetics]

Figures. I guess I should be thankful that all of me is bigger, and not just... parts.

Re: Audio

[true_noir]

Yes, only getting parts of you resized would be a little unfortunate, wouldn't it? It's probably best if we keep our distance this time around, since we know it's happening.

[hermetics]

You that fucked up?

Re: Audio

[true_noir]

Well... I might have just eaten a fruit salad, Edward. Do you really want me to answer that?

Re: Audio

[hermetics]

[ The cringe is almost audible. ]

Good luck recovering from that.

Re: Audio

[true_noir]

You... should really be more worried about anyone who runs into me, Ed. I'll be good and keep my distance from you and Winry this time.

Re: Audio

[hermetics]

I'm not saying I won't be, but I bet they've got plenty of people who're worried about them too. I've never seen you try and hold back so much, so just - ... Don't beat yourself up too bad when everything's said and done, okay?

[ GRUMBLE GRUMBLE WHY DOES HE CARE ANYWAY ]

Re: Audio

[true_noir]

You were gone a long time, Ed. A girl's allowed to learn from her mistakes. I might have finally realized how far I was going.

Re: Audio

[hermetics]

You were already slowly getting the message when I saw you last.

Re: Audio

[true_noir]

I'd tell you the life lessons I learned after that... but most aren't pleasant. I'll send whoever I end up violating a gift-basket. Seems the least I can do.

[leekspins]

I've been too worried to try them.

But congratulations on being taller!

[She thought his height was just fine; he's taller than her bananas or not.]

[Video]

[hermetics]

I don't blame you. Some of this stuff could do some really fucked up shit...

[ He beams because CONGRATULATIONS IS RIGHT. ] Ehehehe, no one could call me a microscopic little pipsqueak now. Too bad I won't be able to save any pictures to bring home. [ Life is hard :( :( :( ]

[Video]

[leekspins]

Can't you?

[That's news to her. Maybe he found some good information!]

How do you know for sure? It can't hurt to go for it, just in case!

[hermetics]

Uh - I mean, I guess I'll have this video as proof, if I manage to take anything back. Back in Atia, we couldn't bring our devices. I guess I just assumed it works the same here. Maybe they're different than that stupid Goddess, though.
