I have no content today. Here, have a quick unbeta'ed Fullmetal Alchemist ficlet! (Spoilery for chapter 79 of the manga/episode 43 of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.)

Envy is determined to maintain a lofty and dignified silence in his reduced condition, which works fine until the stupid black-and-white cat tries to eat him.

- this isn't the part he minds. Let the whatever-it-is creature just try - that's fine! He'll just take over its body, and then he'd like to see the little alkahestry girl try to pretend she doesn't care. But he doesn't get a chance, because the brat sweeps up his jar before anything can happen and launches on a lecture, braids bobbing as she shakes her finger vigorously, and, incidentally, also shaking his jar, making his body flop and his head ache and someday she is going to pay for this, he swears. Envy hates pain.

But even this he could live with - he's a Homunculus! the great Envy, who started the Ishvalan war! LITTLE GIRLS CANNOT DEFEAT HIM - if delivering the lecture didn't start her off on talking.

And talking.

And talking.

After half an hour, Envy can't take it anymore.

"Look, just what kind of delusional are you, pipsqueak? He doesn't have crisp beautiful golden hair! He doesn't have any kind of hair! Because he's a giant empty suit of armor!"

Mei Chan appears unbothered by this. "You're just jealous of Alphonse-sama's good looks," she says serenely, hoists the jar, and continues walking.

The black-and-white cat shoots a smug look at him through the glass, and Envy finds himself starting to wish that the Ishval freak had just squished him under his boot after all.

(I need some Envy icons!)

:DDDDDDDDDDD I wrote this 50% for you!

(I am vaguely planning to go on an icon-making spree Sunday evening . . .)

I LOVE YOU FOREVER, MY FRIEND.

YOU ARE A TERRIBLE ENABLER, MY FRIEND.

*halo*

*flees your icon*

You don't want to be friends with him?

:(

:(

:(

>:D

*prepares to flee more*

. . . *stops*

*eyes icons*

Gen, I think we just hit on a more terrifying playdate than Selim and Czeslaw Meyer. @_@

*________________*

ALL THREE PLAYDATING TOGETHER. Y/Y?

N!!!!!!

You have no heart. :(

They are tiny adorable children! WHY WOULD YOU DENY THEM THE INNOCENT JOY OF FRIENDSHIP.

I have plenty of heart! I just don't have FIVE MILLION OTHER PEOPLE'S HEARTS. UNLIKE SELIM.

LOTS TO GO AROUND.

AS ALWAYS, YOU CONTINUE TO BE THE HELPFULLEST.

Why thank you.

*highlights*

*CACKLES*

DAYS LATER

A+++

WHY THANK YOU *giggling*

Prefacing this question by pointing out that I.... know nothing about FMA:

Am I understanding correctly that there is a black and white cat named Mei Chan?

*laughs* No, not quite - the character Mei Chan is a little girl who has a pet panda, which is called a black-and-white cat by characters who have never seen a panda before. Uh, I can see where the confusion would come in, though.

Well, it's more confusing than that because I actually own a black-and-white cat named Mei Chan, who was named nearly ten years ago. So I was starting to have a minor freak-out. LOL

Hee! Okay, I can see why that would be unnerving. (It's clearly a good name for a cat!)

This is awesome and you should feel awesome. XD

Envy does not agree. *giggling* Thank you!

Fff, Envy has no appreciation for ~romance~, his opinion does not count.

It's true. *sad* CLEARLY MEI CHAN WILL HAVE TO REMEDY THAT.

YES. BY TALKING.
AND TALKING.

AND TALKING.

Maybe she could read to him from romance novels!

You know she has a stash. Or possibly just has several of them entirely memorized.

I suspect she had to leave her stash back in Xing.

Which is precisely why she memorized three of them before leaving on her journey. >D

I find this 100% plausible.

They all starred golden-haired prince types, naturally.

But of course! Other types of hero are just so boring.

You are a terrible person. Also I love you!

Also, I want to see Al get his now emaciated body back and have Mei Chan promptly try to restore him to health by cooking him lots of food...which she doesn't know how to do. And then watch Al try to be really gracious about the whole thing and pretend the resultant messes are good.

Also also?! AUGH, Selim and Honey is NOT RIGHT. Mori would not approve.

Also also also... um. Can I join for next Thursday's FMA watching? :D

*cheerful* I love you also! Also come on, Envy deserves it.

I WANT THIS TOO. *_* Oh Mei Chan. <3 Al is very polite about it and still has NO IDEA that Mei Chan is crushing on him hardcore, because Al is kind of oblivious sometimes. And then Mei Chan gets jealous when he eats Winry's apple pie.

MORI MIGHT THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA FOR HONEY TO HAVE A PLAYMATE.

Yessssss absolutely! JOIN US. >:D BECOME ONE WITH THE COLLECTIVE.

...It is probably bad that my immediate reaction is "Well, we know what Selim thinks of co-dependent bodyguards! :D" Which is that they are awesome, of course.

JOOOOIIIIN UUUUUS.

. . . . now I just want Mori and Hawkeye to hang out. *_*

(Though I think even Hawkeye might be a little weirded out by Mori's EXTREME STOIC.)

IT IS A LITTLE EXTREME.

...But I dunno, I think after a little while she'd just be like "Okay, whatever, if it works for you. Mind if I get out my book?"

Mori would not mind! Thus: the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

(But would Mustang feel threatened by his spiky-haired refreshingness?)

Exactly! It would be adorable, in its total noncommunicativeness. And she would call him Takashi-kun.

(No, because Mori is 18. *laughing* And totally devoted elsewhere and without any shared history, and if Mustang even thought vaguely about considering maybe being jealous Hawkeye would just give him a ...seriously, sir? look. And then he would go "Heh." and say something smirky.)
