The Circus Comes to Town

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Bido rolled his eyes at Kimblees boasting and joking about his looks.
"Well than tell them or get someone else." He suggested. "There's plenty more woman walking around in Ametrist. There's bound to be someone who'd like you and who you like as well." The chimera suggested.
"And if not, well you still have your alchemy or other solutions." He added jokingly.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

"Yeah, sure there's plenty of women running around." he said, "But most of 'em I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole."

"Roze is a lady, and I like women to be ladies." he said with a sigh. He placed his chin in his palms. "Guess it's too much to expect for a guy like me. Geez, I'm not a boy scout!"

[Dorochet [Bido]]

"Maybe you're looking at the wrong places." Bido offered.

[velinda]

Roze watched Kimblee leave, and heard his words. She hadn't meant it like that. Hell, she didn't want a pet on a leash. All she wanted was him to be nice to some people for long enough for them to register that he could be a decent guy, so they wouldn't always deny him! That's all she had meant! As she moved to tell Kimblee what she had meant, she heard Riza. "I hurt his feelings, Riza. I have to apologize... And at the same time, see if he... knew what I was trying to say..." With that, she slipped inside the nest, and headed in some random direction. She slid around corners and decrepit tunnels, until she found Kimblee and Bido. "Kimblee-sama... do you have a minute... Because I wanted to say... I'm sorry..." She looked down at the ground. Hah, she sounded pathetic to her. She knew if someone had said that to her, with how hurt Kimblee had felt, she wouldn't go... and with that thought, she had tears swell up in her eyes. She didn't want to hurt her feelings- he was the first one... quite like him to feel for her... It was different... and she didn't know how to handle some of the aspects of his personality quite yet. "I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings... And I don't want a pet... because pets don't love you for who you are- they love you because you're their master... and I don't want that." She looked up again, at him, so he might be able to see the tears down her face better, but that wasn't the reason she looked up- she wanted to see if he forgave her. "It's just... you're so different from... Kain... That I don't... know what to do half the time..." Again, that sounded pathetic to her... Great, she might just have damaged it even further... Maybe Riza was right, that she should have stayed back...

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Bido looked up, well rather down from his position, as Roze joined them. "I'll leave you two to talk." The chimera said before hurrying off along the wall to jump back down at the end of the bar. He really didn't felt anything for getting involved into all the smooshy conversations that were most likely to follow.

"Yeah, the prototypes of that thing actually managed to do some damage to my shield" Greed said with a frown. If the prototypes of a new Gluttony could damage his shield, he didn't want to see what the completed project could do.

------------------

After trying for several unsuccesful moments to sleep, Martel finally decided to give up. Rather than even try to sleep, she decided to stay awake, at least until both the infants fell asleep again. No matter what, she was probably going to be sleeping in late the next day.

[masterwarlord]

Envy raised an eyebrow. . .How did Greed even know about the thing in the first place, let alone fight it? Envy was completely unaware of the attack that happened on the Nest. . .”Dante gave me a little preview of it, but I never got to see it in action. I’d hardly call that –thing- a homunculus. There’s no reason for us to fight it if we can go straight to Dante anyway, though, seeing it’s mindless.”

[discorantentity]

OOC: ARE MY POSTS for Marco chopped liver, you guys post WAY too fast for me to properly keep up before new posts appear. I have posted twiceand i got ignored. This pisses me off, so if you want me to post for Dr. marco here you give me proper consideration and time. Otherwise tough luck, I hate being ignored and not allowed to catch up and post properly.

This is my only warning, I am not happy that I have posted and been ignored by everyone. So please try to keep in mind I have precious little time to post and cannot post on a regular basis like you guys.

Thank you and I am sorry for this long OOC post, but I needed to address this issue as it was pissing me right off. So now I will post once you acknowledge that my character is actually there, until then tough luck.

[silverviper2134]

"We're all set here, Marcoh" Greed called over his shoulder to the doctor. "Go home, or wherever you're staying".

He turned his attention back to Envy. "And what, if I may ask, is your plan if things start to go south?" he questioned the shapeshifter. 'Something tells me I won't enjoy the answer' he thought to himself.

[masterwarlord]

Envy chuckled uneasily at Greed’s question before forcing himself to respond. ”Plan? What plan? We have to succeed. There’s no room for failure going in on an all out attack on Dante, hence why I’ve waited for the time to be right and made so many preparations. I’m maxed out on Philosopher’s stones and we have four homunculi total, as well as Kimblee and your chimeras. I’d say we’ve got a decent enough shot, otherwise I wouldn’t be throwing my life into this gamble.”

[syradarkangelle]

Wrath had been listening to the conversation between Envy and Greed,and laughed as he thought out loud," probably,that we are S.O.L,and save himself,I mean the best thing in our situation is self preservation."

He just laughed,as he sat at the counter,and stayed to himself and then asked," I wish there was some magical switch and it would make Dante change into her real age."

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

Siran walked back into the nest,as her hands were covered in blood,as she just wiped them on her outfit. She noticed the exchange between Kimblee and Roze.

" If I had a guy,acting like Kimblee is towards Roze,I would of jumped him already,she said,as she herself walked away from the couple,One of them needs to take a risk and make the first move,this trip will be long if there is a tension between the two because they hear sappy love songs in thier heads when they look at each other or whatever happens when two people just stare at each other and sigh."

She went to a wall,and slid down it sitting on the floor,she rolled her neck,popping the joints.

((Sorry tired,but wanted to post something)

((OOC. No offence Marcoh but you can hardly demand of all the other players to stop posting because you cannot post. You picked to play in the topic and you could see these are players who post frequently. If you have computer problems and can't post daily it might be better if you picked to play with other players who also post slower instead of joining in with the group that posts all time or just post when you get on instead of posting that you will post one of these days.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to start an arguement but everybody has to read all those posts to keep up with the rp, even when players that go MIA they don't demand the others to stop but just ask to get dragged along with the story. ))

[Zolf J Kimblee]

He was about to answer Roze when Siran mumbled something about them as she passed. Crap! he thought, what'd I do? He hadn't said two words to Siran and even she wanted to kick his ass for being a cad!

He had this sudden and horrible vision of Siran, Roze, Martel and Riza on the trip...having their monthlies at the same time. He swore if that happened, he was gonna hide in Barry's armor the whole way out of fear for life and limb!

He went behind the bar, pretty as you please, as if he'd never left the Devils Nest. He opened a fridge and got a chocolate pudding and slid it down the bar to Wrath. "Eat up kiddo." he said as he came back around the bar.

"Roze... I didn't mean pet as in 'pet.' I meant pet project. You know...like a character makeover or something." he put his arm around her shoulders. "Look...I got a few friends. They know what I'm like cuz I let them know. And you see it. Everyone else can bite me, Roze. I'm sorry if that's harsh, but I don't need no one's nods of approval."

"An' you don't need to apologize, sweet stuff." he added with a wink. "C'mon now..wipe them tears." He cupped her face, wiping the tears with his thumbs.

A familiar face walked by and he did a double take. "Well, well, well...Dr. Marcoh! What brings you to this neck of the woods?"

[velinda]

Roze listened to the man's response. It made sense, but she still felt sort of uneasy. "Kimblee... I'm not asking you to change, because that's wrong. It's just..." She didn't know what to say next. She had the words in her head, but they sounded worse than what she had said before, and only seemed to contradict themselves, and prove that he was a pet project, if she looked at it from an outside perspective. She felt him grab her chin, and she almost smacked him away, but she simply looked up at him, feeling his thumb wipe her tears away. "T-thank you... for forgiving me." She smiled sadly at him. When he started to talk to Marco, she stepped back to allow them company. She dind't know the man, so she didn't feel like she should talk to him quite yet.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

He swallowed hard and felt like he'd just been punched in the gut. He'd seen that sad look once before. That and the tense air of discomfort that invaded. His face grew pale and he suddenly felt like he was going to be sick. Not again.

"Excuse me..I gotta go get some fresh air or something." He walked off, hands in pockets and wearing a troubled brow. He found his way to the rooftop. A place he'd go to chill out when he'd worked for Greed.

He sat down and watched the sun begin to sink in the west. He sighed and threw a fragment of rooftop over the edge. Sometimes it felt like the sun was setting in every aspect of his life. Right. As if the sun ever rose in it to begin with. "So much for the sun shining on the good and the bad." he grumbled in juvenile self pity.

First Sheska...now this. He wasn't positive, but he was fairly sure he was about to be dumped. "Fuck it..I'd probably make a lousy husband and father anyhow." He threw another piece of rooftop over the edge in disgust. He buried his face in his arms and squeezed his eyes shut tight. He hadn't cried since he was eight years old and he wasn't gonna start now. Right.

[Okay, I promise. After this, no more Emo!Kimblee. I'll just send him to his room to pout where no else has to see it. xD ]

[Dorochet [Bido]]

After leaving the alchemist and the remaining Liorian to talk in peace Bido had found himself a spot at the bar to have a drink. He watched all the commotion in the bar with mild interest. Untill he saw Kimblee storm off. "So melodramatic." The chimera chuckled as he took a bottle and walked outside as well before climbing up on the wall to the roof.

"Yes you probably would." Bido commented light hearted as he climbed over the roof edge. "And you should watch where you kick things of the roof, people might be climbing there." He added as he sat beside the alchemist and held out a bottle of liquor with his tail.

[discorantentity]

OOC: Fine whatever.... If you need me drop me a line, until then screw it I'm not posting for marco here until people learn to actually pay attention to every post... Sorry to be an ass, but I am trying and not getting any GODDAMN recognition. I am pissed off, and I am only requesting a little fairness. If that is too much then what the hell is fair?

If this keeps up I am gonna say screw it and leave the damn group, give me even a little breathing room so I can kepeup or else I am gonna goddamn suffocate on posts here!

[velinda]

OoC: I sometimes get swamped, especially in RW. Just read the ones pertaining to you; Kimblee had talked to Marco, as did Greed, or was it Envy? Even if I get swamped, I try to make a decent post containing everything.

IC:
Roze looked up in shock. He was... leaving her? No... maybe.. he thought she was dumping him! She stared, dumbstruck at the door he left through for a few moments, before shaking it off and taking after him. She found him up on the roof, his head in his legs, and Bido talking to him. She moved slowly forward, and said, "Kimblee...? I... I just don't know how to cope sometimes... especially after Kain... It's new to me..." she sighed. "Please... don't leave. I didn't mean... to hurt your feelings..." If he didn't look at her or speak, she'd slump to the ground, onto her knees. "If there ever was a time after the Elrics that I'd believe in Leto again, now would be it... so I can pray that he'd see it fit for you to forgive me..." She lowered her head, and a soft plip, plip could be heard. She spoke again, her voice somewhat shaky, "P-please... give me another chance..."

[Zolf J Kimblee]

He took the bottle from Bido, giving him a dry look, "Thanks for the vote of confidence." he said, taking a swig off the bottle. He chuckled. "Well, if it hits anyone on the ground, then they shouldn't have been walking by at the time." he snickered. Suddenly, Roze approached and he blinked in surprise.

*Zolf making up with Roze inserted here: blah, blah, blah...blarbity..blah blah...it's all good now*

He got to his feet and stretched, liquor bottle in hand. He'd only taken a few hits off it and handed it back to Bido, "Thanks good buddy." he said and wrapped his arm around his neck. He gave him an 'air' noogie. No way he was scraping his knuckles a second time in one day!

"Okay then!" he said, "I think I've wallowed in enough self-pity for one day. Let's go back down.

When they returned to the downstairs bar, Marcoh was still there, sitting next to Wrath. "So there..." he said with a chuckle, "why not have a drink and we can talk about the good ol' days in Ishbal?" he snickered.

[discorantentity]

"Well then, I will be on my way then. If you have need of my services stop by my place again, I'm running low on supplies anyways to heal your chimera." Dr. Marco capped the bottle and set it down, before standing up and heading to the door. If he was going to keep taking care of the injuries he would need to gather up more fragments of the red stone, even if it meant having to make a few despite the dangerous process. Once he was outside he headed home, to get some rest and deal with his own matters.
