[FIN]Kimblee & Co. play Secret Squirrel

[syradarkangelle]

(( OOC: I do not remember bringing Wrath to the headquaters,and second I had computer problems yesterday,whole computer froze while i was trying to check me email))

Siran watched the bickering men,as she was turning back and Forth following the conversation. She let out a sigh and then said," Well,as I see it,you all are committing treason,but for a good reason,have not you all been wondering of the Furher's recent activities."


She scratched her head for a second as she added," recently a couple of your lab rats have resurfaced,General. The ones useful to the army have been instated as officers.As for the Commander,I Have lived for years with a cloth tied over my eyes in Central growing up pretending I was blind."

She took a breath,as she continued," my reputation precedes what was actually happening,I was coming home shopping when i made my first killing, Three soldiers pushed me in an alley,I grabbed a rock and carved the circle in the ground, The concrete turned into liquid and turned them to stone. Each time I have killed it was because I was threatened by the very people meant to keep peace,after I revealed my eyes,it was 'be a good Ishballan and do as we say.' this good ishballan protected herself,i liked making people bleed I still do but I never kill unless provoked,and for the record."

She looked at the two new men in the room, she felt the need to tell people of why she killed the men,and if they looked at the records it was only people in the military.

[archer]

Indeed, the man had come into his reports- But under a different name. "So..." He stated, a somewhat ill-looking smile appearing upon Archer's face. "You're the Surge Alchemist- Well this is a pleasure indeed." Another dangerous man- It seemed he was surrounded constantly by alchemist monsters. "I'll try my best to go in accordance with the Commander's wishes as well, Brigadier General." A certain irony, considering if was those capable of Alchemy that seemed to enjoy making such a ruckus. Sadly, the man unnerved him. Grand was easily understood- Frank knew not of Reynard's motives. Yet.

"Of course Commander." He took a moment to gather his thoughts, eying Siran emotionlessly as she explained "Innocence" of her killings. And then he laughed. Pure amusement rang through him, shaking his head in laughter. Calming himself, Archer replied. "In all honesty, I do not care why you killed them, Crimson Princess- If you, like dear Kimblee, did out of the simple enjoyment of killing, I'd not hold it against you either." War was filled with blood and tears- But it was those who won that were able to gain the spoils. War wasn't pointless- Losing one was. "But, going back to your concerns...I consider myself far more human then the Fuhrer." Chuckling to himself, Archer raised the glass of the hot liquid, enjoying the scent of the tea as it filled his nostrils. "I have been watching the Fuhrer for some time- As we all know, Intelligence is useless if not use properly- And do that, knowledge is required. I am payed to watch- Be it outside or...within the Military." His face sobered, becoming hard and stony. "Gentlemen, I will be blunt- The man can no longer become trusted with the future of the State- He has become senile, arrogant, and as Siran here can attest, no longer concerned with the maintaining of the people." His words he believed true- Yet the manner that he perceived them was subtly different then what they might understand. Such was the unique design of the man's word play. "I do not deny that I seek advancement- I merely wish to point out why it is profitable to us all." He paused, letting that sink in. If successful, they would be able to lead the country into a new regime. "I call us not traitors- But loyal rebels against the failing control of an old man."

[syradarkangelle]

Siran looked at Archer as she listened,and then said," I want him to answer the quedstion,why an Ishballan woamn and her alchemist husband were killed,when the Ishballan woman,never comitted a crime against the state and neithier the man,if he can give me a reasonable excuse to ordering my parents death,i would like to hear it.

Her crimson eyes looked at Archer as she said,"and if I do not like his answeres I shall turn his own office against him,or cut out his heart and make him watch,as rivers of his blood flow down my arm.I shall stay and hear this conversation out,this seems most interesting."

[raze]

Clive and Grand burst into laughter at her outrageous claim of being able to defeat Bradley. Clive started to calm down until he saw Sirans angry face...making him laugh harder.
"Miss...haha...Miss Siran. Hahaha...do you honestly belive YOU can take Fuhrer King Bradley in a straight fight? Hahahahaha! You must not know how strong he is if you're making a claim like that." Clive said still chuckling.

Clive had no problem with Siran whatsoever, but only an idiot would think they can take Bradley one on one. He's seen war criminals he's brought in for trial try to assasinate the man only to get sliced apart before their alchemy could even activate.
"Besides, if you were defeated by Kimblee then theres no way in hell your anywhere near powerful enough." Grand explained guaffing at the mere idea of her attacking Bradley and the subsequent skewering.
Clive wasn't too sure about her alchemic power but he was certain she was way too weak to stop any alchemist in the room much less kill Bradley's personal guard and proceed on to face him. Just as Clive was going to say something to her he got a call on his phone.
"This is Reynard...Oh hello Ami, wha...no shes not anyone important just a new officer. So you finished getting her approved? I see so she just needs a call sign? She's been refered as the Crimson Princess, no she not dating Kimblee...I don't care how cute you think he is honey....Has your sickness gotten better? .....Tell me your kidding...I don't know weather to cry or smile to be honest. Yes Alice is a good name. I love you too." Clive hung up with a frown and ran his hand thorugh his hair, he was sparking slightly in anger.
"She's deteriorating isn't she"? Grand asked with no emotion.
Clive simply nodded, he and Ami have been expecting this for years and it seems that with his dauther's birth it took the rest of her strength to fight the virus. Ami Reynard the Gaia Fist Alchemist was going to die before the week was up. Grand pat him on the back, he accually felt bad for the young scientist and his terminal wife.

"Looks like Im going to lose her regardless...But I have a daughter now and I need to stay focused for the both of them." He said obviously hurt, but the alchemist was too strong to cry or show more pain then he had to.
"My first mission...what is it to be?"He asked.
Clive's entire demeanor had changed hed seemed ....colder now, more bloodthirsty.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

After giving it a bit of thought, he decided he felt a bit squirrely about proceeding with the transmutation until he was positive his soldiers were out of harms way.

"Great," he thought to himself, "I really gotta keep myself more detached from my comrades."

He and his rag-tag group walked through town till he found a military jeep. He pulled rank on the soldier driving it and had them all pile in. It was a tight fit for sure. He, Roze and Havoc were crammed up front and Barry, Riza and Bido were jammed in the back.

Envy wasn't exactly thrilled at the postponement, but he'd just have to wait, or else secure himself another alchemist. He was pretty sure Roze wouldn't be too happy being put into protective custody, but she was better off on the base, than running around the temple with him. Bido and Barry would just have to make their own call on what they wanted to do.

He donned a pair of sunglasses and folded his hands behind his head as Havoc drove them through the sandy stretch, back the way he'd come just a short while ago.

[sorry guys, but this thread's kinda dead right now, so I took the liberty of moving everyone that was with Kimblee]

[amouri]

Barry followed the rest of the group, still watching the strangers cautiously.
This is becoming quite the crowd...
Once again he wondered with some anxiety what he was expected to do-or to go for that matter-when all this was over.
He doubted Kimblee would be able to sort something out, but then again, you never knew.

He was considerably cheered up when he realized he was going to sit with Hawkeye, and quickly jumped in the spare seat beside her, before the guy with the scales could.
"Heya Missy!"

As the car jolted into action, he snuggled up to her and rested his head on her shoulder with a sigh, all worries forgotten for the time being.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

Zolf glanced back at Barry and chuckled. Why was it so darn cute to see the big tin can cozy up to Hawkeye? If things went smooth enough, Barry would have a warm, flesh and blood body again. He remembered Barry in prison. He remembered the short while he'd have to tolerate the tittering sounds of his laughter down the hall. He'd yelled at him to shut up on more than one occasion.

The brief amounts of time prisoners were allowed out into the yard, or to shower, Kimblee had kept to himself. He was too aloof and mingling wasn't his style at the time. Barry had been sort of thin and wiry, but not a bad looking fellow. Someone would be charmed by him, no doubt. At least if he didn't blow it like he himself had in front of Sheska. Oh well, it couldn't be helped. A man had to do what a man had to do.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

((I'm kinda back for a little while. But I can't spend much time being online so could maybe someone tell me what's all going up and how Kimblee & co ended up in a jeep and back at the HQ? Sorry for this but I can't spend much time online and I don't have the time to read all the posts so if maybe someone could informe me bout the high-lights?))

[syradarkangelle]

Wrath had been walking when a jeep headed in the same direction he was heading.

"Just great,I guess I can play the lost kid act,good thing I switched out clothes,i do not look like mini envy anymore."he muttered to himself. As the jeep came more in focus,he sat down on the ground and started crying,a fake charade,maybe he could get some insight on the army end.

" I am lost where are you,Mommy,mommy."he sounded frantic as he called for his mommy,he was so used to acting it came as a second nature,he made sure the bottom of his foot was hidden.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Siran looked at Clive and Grand as they laughed,she explained,"I am a self taught alchemist so my limits are unknown,I have tons of Alchemy books in the place I live at,all books my father intended to teach me and for me to master. I know getting to Bradley will not be easy,and sometimes the blows delivered are not always done with fist and strength,some start with a plan which is the first shot or if you want to go with terms men who like to fight say,the first punch."

She crossed her legs,as she watched them with a smirk," Kimblee first manhandled me when i was not ready for a fight,we was not my objective he just pissed me off,he got me,Grand because as a sign of no ill content I offered my hand to pull him out of the sand I had him trapped in,and when you see Kimblee,ask if you can see the toys he pulled off of me if he still has them. See unfortunately Rose and Sheska were caught in the sand as well,and if I let them go and activated the sand for it to swallow Kimblee i would not be here right now, and also i would not have been enlisted as a state alchemist." she said.


She turned towards Clive," If I may ask,what illness is ailing her,and i give permission for soldiers in central,to go to my cottage and get all my books on medical alchemy,there is a key hidden inside the cat statue by the door,the head flips open, the books are my fathers so i would onlky be lending the medical ones out,if one of them cannot heal her,maybe they can prolong what time she has."


Siran was not a heartless person,she was just scarred,and somebody had to pay to make what happened to her equal. Hearing a child maybe losing one parent,hit a place that Siran had not felt in a while her heart. She felt his pain in the haunted look in his eyes.

[Nothing happened, really. Havoc, Hawkeye, and Roze have been busy or on vacations and what-not. Not sure what Envy is up to. All the interaction is back at the HQ, so I piled everyone in a jeep to head there. ]

Kimblee narrowed his eyes, squinting at the small figure they were nearing. He decided to ignore whoever it was until he heard them wailing. Dammit! He didn't have time for taking in every stray that passed his way!

"Dammit! Havoc....stop the jeep." He sighed in irritation as he climbed out of his seat. A wild looking kid, a boy from the looks of it, was wailing at the top of his lungs for his mom. He asked the kid who he was. And the kid continued wailing for his mommy. He asked how he'd gotten in the middle of the Lior desert. More tears and wailing. He finally picked up the feral-looking rug rat and gave him a firm shake. "Shut up before I slap some sense into you!" he set the boy back on his feet. "Now...let's try this again." he continued, "Who are you..and how did you end up out here?"

[masterwarlord]

[Gah. . .I apologize again. I always seem to leave at the worst of times, don't I? That's what I get for being in important positions in ten thousand communities at once.]

Envy was exceptionally pissed at having been left to rot for god knows how long while Kimblee ensured the safety of his comrades. . .He really didn't have time to play around with here. Another of Dante's enforcers could arrive at any time and utterly screw him and all the others over, but he couldn't tell Kimblee that. Kimblee still thought he was working for the old hag, and he wanted to keep it that way, as that'd make it far more easy to manipulate him.

So. . .There wasn't really much he could do at this point. Alchemists strong enough to perform something of this magnitude didn't exactly grow on trees. . .Times like these he wished he could use alchemy himself. He'd studied alchemy plenty in his 400 or so years. He'd be a half decent alchemist if he were human, and surely he'd of studied it more were he actually physically capable of using it, but no. . .But that'd make things too easy anyway, right? He could already regenerate from any wound and had his absolutely ridiculous transformation powers. If homunculi could use alchemy, Dante wouldn't have much on them.

But anyway, the real question here was why Kimblee was so adamant about protecting those ordinary people. He was going soft when he was about to kill countless innocents? Something just didn't add up here. Perhaps he didn't intend to actually do the transmutation for him after all? This was rather suspicious, and Envy's paranoia got the better of him. Perhaps he'd have Wrath escort Kimblee to the transmutation circle to ensure he didn't try anything funny? Yes, that'd be a good way to get some actual use out of him (Aside from his philosopher's stones, which were quite tempting). . .

. . .So what could Envy do for now? There wasn't much, really. He could stalk Kimblee as usual in hopes of picking something up to see what he truly intended to do, but after having just talked with him recently it would be rather obvious when a random animal followed after him. Kimblee had spotted Envy in the form of a random flea earlier when he'd given no sign at all, surely he'd notice him then.

. . .So there wasn't much to do but wait. Joy. How fond Envy was of waiting. There was absolutely nothing he could do to further his cause during his time, and he was getting rather stressed out about Kimblee betraying him or another homunculus still loyal to Dante arriving. . .While he could just go drown his thoughts in alcohol, he didn't particularly want to be drunk when he'd have to give a speech as Cornello later on. That'd be a rather pathetic sight to behold.

[syradarkangelle]

(( OOC: A drunk Cornello,that would probably be quite amusing,my random side is coming out,but a drunk cornello would announce a public orgy with merriment and joy for every man,the woman would just have to go along with it.*smacks self in the face* Ok mind is out of the gutter now))


Wrath looked up at Kimblee,and sniffed a little," mommy called me Worthless Result After The High.She also called me Damn mistake,never a proper name. I fell asleep and I wake up here."

Wrath looked at Kimblee,with his sad eyes,"Do you know where my mommy went?"

[Zolf J Kimblee]

Nothing this kid said made any sense whatsoever! Probably out in the sun too long.

"Look kid, I don't know nothing about your mommy. Sounds like you'd be better off without her anyhow." Yeah, he could actually relate to a crappy upbringing. He thought for a moment then let out an exasperated sigh, "Well, come on then." When he got back to the jeep he instructed Jean and Riza to continue on to HQ.

"And take this kid with you," he asked them. "Give him a pudding or a popcicle... I don't care."

"Barry, you can come along if you want. I doubt you'd wanna hang around there anyhow." Lots of people knew about Alphonse, and seeing another armored person wandering around would raise eyebrows. He hadn't planned on staying long anyhow.

"Roze? I'd go with these two if I were you, but it's your call. Do what you want. Same goes for you, Bido. Tag along, crawl under a desert rock..whatever."

Zolf started the trek back to Lior on foot with Barry following. Luckily they hadn't come too far; it would only be about an hour walk from here. He stopped walking and his shoulders slumped and he shook his head. The jeep starter was going 'click, click click'. Havoc called him over. He popped the hood and looked around. He wiggled the battery cables a bit and asked him to try again. Nothing.

He slammed the hood down in disgust and pounded his fist on it. "Havoc...you and Hawkeye continue on foot. Take Roze and the kid. Fuck...stick a fork in me, I'm done!"

Havoc and Hawkeye continued toward HQ on foot with the kid and Roze following. He waved a tired arm at Barry and Bido and laid back on top of the hood. "You guys do what you want."

[amouri]

Barry opened his eyes as Zolf shook the kid, resulting in a stream of words that didn't seem to fit together.
He chuckled quietly.

As Zolf then ordered Riza and Havoc back to the nearby headquarters, he hesitated.
He knew his best chances were with Zolf, and Riza wasn't paying much attention to him anyway.
"Hey-hang on, I'm coming!"

He gave Hawkeye a swift hug and then leapt out of the car and quickly followed the Crimson Alchemist on his way.
But it was only a few minutes before they were on their way back to the truck again.

At the announcement of the car being useless, and the fact that Hawkeye and Havoc were to travel by foot, he bristled indignantly.
It didn't please him at all to know that Riza would be travelling slowly with nearly no protection whatsoever, but he decided not to go on about it.
He didn't want to cause trouble.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

He observed Barry watching the two soldiers walking toward HQ. He could practically read Barry's mind.

"Don't worry about her, Barry." he assured, "She can take care of herself. Trust me. If anything, she'll have to protect Havoc too." he chuckled and lit a smoke.

"Come on Barry. We got a job to do. And if Envy's fucking off somewhere, we'll do the job without him. They need me, not the other way around."

[amouri]

Barry jerked his head in irritation.
"I've got every right to be worried. This world ain't as safe as it seems. I'm in it ain't I? Doesn't that prove my point?"

Barry sighed. "Yeah yeah, I'm coming." He followed, and after some time asked carefully.
"Zolf...If ya don't mind me calling yer that of course, what exactly is it precisely we are supposed to be doing? You and Envy haven't been that clear about it."
If the hunch he had was proven right, he would just have to hope for the best. It was kind of ironic that the makings of the stone would maybe interfere with his life once again.

[syradarkangelle]

"Yay pudding." he said jumping in the jeep. From years of this act children were fickle and the mention of getting something sweet would make them forget thier troubles.

As the jeep clicked not turning over,he was tempted to look at it himself,as he remained in the jeep. He shrugged his shoulders and jumped out following the ones going to the headquarters. He skipped beside the two officers,and then stopped and immeditated a march,as he waited for them to catch up.he laughed as he watched thier faces,"Pudding,pudding pudding," he stopped for a second started singing" Do you like waffles? yes we like waffles,do you like pancakes?" he continued to hum the songs not really remembering the words,though he really did not want top remember the part he did.

((OOC: I am in a goofy mood))

[archer]

(OOC: Meh. My computer crashed. God doesn't love me...Or Buddha. Or "Insert deity". But, seems that not much I can do with Archer at this point. o.o Archer decides to take a nap.)

[Zolf J Kimblee]

(Ooc: Awww...Archer snoozing on the desk is absolutely <3 )

(Wrath [Siran]: If I were you, I'd consider having Wrath steal away from Hawkeye and Riza and follow Zolf. Neither of them have posted in awhile. Not sure when they'll be back. Or you could move their characters to HQ and you could interact with Archer, etc...)

"I call you Barry don't I?" he answered, "or Bartholowmew Von Munchausen." he chuckled and raised his arm to dodge the whap on the head that might be coming. "Go ahead and call me Zolf if you want. I've been called worse by better people." he snickers.

"Me and Envy are making a philosopher's stone. Well... at least I am. I know the array is somewhere in that temple. If I can find it, I can activate it."

[rizahawkeye]

Riza looked at Kimblee and nodded as she received her orders.
"Of course, sir..." she responded.
She then glanced at Havoc.
"Come on, we better get moving..." she said as she turned around and began walking.
