New meetings & information gathering

[amouri]

(('s ok, wish you'd showed Slicer some attention though zP))

Slicer watched in dumb surprise as they both turned away and walked along the pavement again.
He waited till they were out of earshot and then slumped to the ground weakly.
"Brother? How did you handle that?"
The sigh of his younger brother relieved him.
"Fine. I'm not used to you being that...impulsive though. That was pretty impressive."
48 cast a nervous glance towards the couple.
"I...Don't understand why she just let it go like that."
"What, you mean you wish she had recognized us?"
"NO. I'm just...relieved thats all."

[suigintou]

Lust began thinking to herself, and she looked back at them They aren't important to me right now, but should I let them go? Or what should I do? afterall, it would be fun to mess with them for al ittle while. She then smirked, and asked "What are you doing here, none the less stalking people?" she felt like being an antagonist right now, though why she wasn't sure, but all she knew is, now she was curious to know why they were there and what they were planning. if anything, if she had to fight she would, though she realised she was getting off task with what needed to be done, she figured this would be a vital key to help her find envy, or even slightly helpful.

[amouri]

Slicer raised his head with a jerk as she called back again.
He cursed himself silently, not taking her eyes off her.
By her gaze he could see that she knew...Of course she knew.
Just taking off his plume and the cloth he had had slung around his waist wasn't enough to disguise him, especially not from her.
He hesitated.
It would be complete madness for her to start a fight in full daylight.
What had he to lose?

"Stalking and merely being careful can be mistaken with each other at times." He said coldly.
"What are you doing?!" His brother hissed, hitting himself in the back of the head, and therefor hitting his oler brother.
"Shut up." He whispered. "She knows anyway."

[suigintou]

"Not much of anything really I was having a nice conversation with my new friend here" Lust then stopped, and looked at them, for a moment she was going to ask a question, but decided against it, calling them by name would be a bad idea too, because then they could reveal her identity in return. "and what were you doing here? obviously you werent going for a afternoon strolll or anything"

*Hikari*

The white-haired girl was quite trembly still, from the incident in the labs. Those things.... what were they? She didn't know, but she really didn't want to find out either. However, her blood-red eyes scanned over the crowd, and she spotted a rather pretty female talking to something... that didn't seem to happy. She noticed that there was another male, maybe with the female, or maybe not, but it would explain why he had stopped a little ways from them, enough to give the female room (she thought), but so she would be within eyeshot. She sighed, and gathered some air for what she was about to do. Seeing as the male that was waiting was in uniform, maybe the others knew something about the army as well. She walked up to the pretty lady and said quietly in a voice barely above a whisper, her voice shaking, "S-sorry to interrupt... b-but... I-i was looking... to b-become a State Alchemist?" She cringed slightly, as if preparing herself if they were some of those people that hated Alchemists... or as if awaiting some kind of punishment... She hadn't heard anything the two were speaking about, so she had no idea what they were saying...

Which, to her, just meant that she didn't know if what they were talking about was important or not...

[Bah... it doesn't seem like the best post ever... but I need somewhere for Krystal to go... so this is the best spot that I can find...]

[suigintou]

Lust looked at her, but not turning in her direction, she thought for a few moments then decided to answer her "hmm, you are looking to be a state Alchemist hmm? well th en, your better off going to Central headquarters, I cant help you in the matter, but mabey my friend can help you. Though I do believe that he is fairly new in the military." Lust smirked and thought of possibly mentioning the philosophers stone to her, but she decided not too, it wouldn't be any help to Lust right now. So lust looked back at slicer and smirked, while speaking to the girl again "My name is Solaris, and what is yours?" Lust still was waiting for an answer from slicer.

Lyn sat atop a large building in Central looking down on the city. She had grown up here and hated it here but this is where her sources lead her in her search for the homunculi. She began to think of her memories reading of the homunculi, no one ever believing her but she didn't care she knew they were real. She waited and looked down upon the city. She hadn't been in a fight for awhile now, she hadn't even needed her healing abilities. Everything was just too calm for her. She once again looked down upon the city, today was boring and her idea of making the day more interesting was eavesdropping. She heard the voices of someone, they were quite but they were close. So she slipped her gloves on, both of which had her transmutation circle imprinted upon, and she clasped her hands together and then placed them out ward. She then jumped off the building, the wind carrying her silently through the sky, she followed what she heard. She landed on a small building above where a woman in a long brown coat a man in armor and a girl were talking. This ought to interest her for awhile she thought. Little did she know, she had stumbled upon on of the people she had been looking for, a homunculi.

>{ I hope Barry doesn't mind me posting... }<

Krystal nodded to the female, and smiled in relief. "Um.. thank you, Solaris-sama. My name is Hikari. Krystal Hikari." She offered a hand out to shake Solaris', and whether or not she'd take it, she'd turn to the military man, who was remaining quiet. " Can you help me...?" she asked him, before turning around to the female again. "Or... can either of you-" she waved her hand at the armour as well, "lead me there? I've only been there a few times myself, never really needing a reason to go there... maybe one of you knows the way there better than I do...?" she asked, before taking a closer look at that armour... and she got the feeling something wasn't right... but shook it off as her being her superstitious self...

[amouri]

Slicer tensed up slightly.
"I have had matters to attend to." He said airily.
He had to figure out what she wanted.
Now that she knew he was on the loose, it was merely a matter of time before she would track him down once more and most likely kill him.
At the moment, he was safe. In clear daylight she wouldn't try anything.
But he knew too much about the lab to NOT oppose a certain threat to her kind.

He looked down suddenly as the young girl appeared, he was still tense and ready for action if it turned out Lust didn't care about witnesses.
She might just kill him anyway.

He looked at the girl again, and saw a chance to get himself in a more favourable position.
"Why of course." He said abrubtly.
"I don't see why not. Solaris, I'm sure you could spare a few minutes to help this young lady. I can accompany you on the way, don't you think?"

[suigintou]

Lust looked at him, and thought to herself I dont know what you are up to, but i dont like it... She then sighed "Fine, i dont see the ham in it...but first i have other things to deal with"

(What ever happened to uhhhh.....the one persones...the military man ... >_>\0

[hakuforever]

(OCC: just skip me, I got nothin for now. Basicly this is me stalking Lust)

[amouri]

((XD I was wondering that too. Don't worry, he probably wont be inactive for much longer )

Slicer watched her carefully.
Aha. Well then, seems I'll be leaving you.
He turned to the girl again and jabbed a thumb over his shoulder.
"Come on then. You wanted to be a state alchemist didn't you not?"

He would have to get back to Lust at another time.
He had a feeling she would leave him alone, at least for now.

[suigintou]

Lust was so tempted to attack, but she knew better. Right now they were not her main focus. She still couldn't believe that she had to search for envy. "Hm, I dont know my way around all that well, so mabey this will help me too. Afterall, getting lost in Central isn't the greatest idea" Lust then looked up at the sky, but saw the girl on the roof, lust looked back, and said to slicer "Better yet I will stay behind, we arent finished talking yet, So return here when you get the chance[/purple" Lust then started to walk away thinking to herself Whoever that is, im going to ask her why she was just watching us...and if so, find out if she is a threat...

[amouri]

Slicer paused as Lust spoke.
He sighed wearily.
I guess it could not be avoided.
"Yes dear." He said with a hint of sarcasm.
As he watched her go he considered his options.

He could take the girl to Central, then the question was whether he should return to Lust, and risk death, or high tail it, and risk death.

[suigintou]

Lust looked around, trying to fine a way onto the roof. She made sure that she was out of sight of people and she ran up the side of the wall of the building and asked the girl "What are you doing up here?let alone spying" Lust looked at her. Not sure wether or not to attack or anything like that.

[hakuforever]

Lyn’s grew board with these people till she noticed that the armored man was hallowed. She found out when a slight breeze came by, she could hear a deeper echo, something only she would notice. Lyn then was in aw as she saw the woman run up the side of the building. She was sure she had found what she had been looking for, she was thrilled. Lyn also noticed that the woman was collecting more sweat in one spot, signifying that the cells were clogged, ink. Ink meant a tattoo which, Lyn thought, the tattoo of the Homunculi. Lyn smiled at the woman and said “Hello I’m Lyn, The healing breeze alchemist. I was spying for fun and I believe you can help me. I’m a former state alchemist who wants revenge on Central and to cause chaos. So I seek those who cause evil, I believe them to be Homunculi and I believe you to be one. If so allow me to help and serve you.” Lyn smiled at the woman, she couldn’t believe this, her dream fulfilled.

[suigintou]

Lust watched the girl closely, not sure what to do. If Lust were to accept her offer, she could risk being exposed....if she wasn't lying then she woul dhave a new servant. Lust didn't want to risk a huge fight. But if this Lyn attacks her, then Lust will have to end it quickly. "Fine, My name is Solaris" she said to her, Deciding not to give her true name till the time is right

[velinda]

Hikari noticed that the other female was getting preoccupied with something else, so she told the man in the armour to come back later. She was thrilled that the man in the armour was going to show her around, but he didn't seem to thrilled about coming back to meet that woman. "Thanks, mister... I don't think I got your name...? she asked nicely, her quiet voice adding to the thought that she couldn't be harmless... could she? Howver, if Slicer would look at her right hand at all, he would notice a weird sort of desing on it, not any bigger than the back of her hand that it was imprinted on.

"And thank you, onii-san, for allowing me to accompany you to the Headquarters..." She looked at him with a mixture of a curious and sad expression, before saying, "Umm... onii-san... What's wrong with that woman... why are you scared of her, and why do I get the feeling that she's not entirely human... or at least, not telling me the whole truth...?"

[amouri]

Slicer glanced at the young girl again, as they started to walk towards HQ.
At her question, he hesitated slightly.
"Your codename will hereafter be Phantom." The Majors words rang. "If for some reason you are spotted on the street introduce yourself as "Mike the friendly military robot."
He shook his head quietly. Armstrong had helped him, but some of his orders were rather tiring to follow after.

"I'm..." He paused again. "...You can call me Mike." He said with a weak chuckle.

He heard a faint creak from the lower part of his armour at her next words.
Onii-san? He could almost hear his brother utter in indignation.
He smiled inwardly, but his frame of mood soon changed as she spoke on.

He stopped walking, staring at the girl.
Was it really that obvious?
He hesitated, scratching his neck akwardly.
"Well-I-" He stopped again.
"Its...None of your business." He then added gruffly, marching on again.

After some time he sighed however, and turned to her once more.
"Alright, fine. Is it really that obvious? Ah well." Another sigh.
"She...Is a woman to be respected." He said slowly. "And apart from that, she could cause me great trouble if she wanted."
He looked at her blankly.
"Not human you say? You know ojousan, you would be surprised at how many people in this world aren't actually human at all."

(( online japanese translators are funfunfun))

[suigintou]

Lust looked out, and saw the two in the distance, she sighed. " wow slicer....i dont know what you are doing...but i dont like it atall...not the least bit" Lust looked back at the girl. "Meet me back here in about 4 hours, we shall speak then" she then used the stairway from teh rooof to the top floor to get down to the street. and there she decided to accompany Slicer and Hikari.
