Elaborate Plans (Dante and Father only.)

[Dante [Andras]]

(Dante and Father only...everyone else is in Lior.)

The rhythm of the cold dark throne room was broken by the blue electricity proceeding Dante's entrance through the tunnel at the front of the room. breaking from her usual appearance she wore an equally elaborate black dress this time, a veil replacing the usual hair pin. It was unlikely and unusual for her to venture to fathers... kingdom as she considered his throne room rather decrepit for a "king". Nonetheless she approached him in her usual mannerism. She expected to find him slumped over, his head resting on one hand as usual. She knew however that someone of his kind would feel her presence awake or not,walking forward with her hands clasped together in her ordinary strolling fashion she stopped just a few feet from his throne. "I have some questions for you." If the fact that she had actually come down here didn't startle him the unusual tone in her voice most certainly would.

Homunculus sat on his throne, not really paying attention as Dante created her own entrance to his lair, and walked up to his throne. He sat very still, his chin resting on the palm of his left hand, which was supported be his elbow on the arm of his massive chair.

"Questions are good," he replied not really taking notice of how she had spoken until later, "any good Alchemists becomes as they are by asking questions and seeking answers."

After he had spoken, he pondered a question of his own, wondering what was so important that Dante would barge in unannounced and demand answers to yet unasked questions. "How can I help you my dear?" Homunculus would say as he stood up and put on a deceiving smile for his partner, "You don't come down here often, so I can only assume its important."

[Dante [Andras]]

Dante gave him an unsatisfied grimace. She lowered the sleeve on the left side of her dress to reveal the black vine like pattern around her arm. "My body, it's rotting. I need to find another host or stop the decomposition..." Dante disdained asking anyone for help but she wasn't going to sit there and die...that would defeat the very purpose of her goals. Dante looked at Father with a cold expression..."suggestions?"

[Father [Azerik]]

"I would have thought the answer is simple," Homunculus said in genuine surprise, "you have a philosopher's stone, even if it has degraded quite a bit. Simply use that to restore the body's health until we finish with the plan. Once the plan has been completed, you'll be immortal, just as Hoenheim and I are immortal."

While he was leading Dante on, so far as the immortality was concerned, it was true that she could simply restore her body with the philosopher's stone she currently possessed. While it was purely temporary, it would suffice for a few years.

[Dante [Andras]]

Dante winced at the thought of using that...on herself that is. It was quite strange for an alchemist of her caliber to think twice of using a philosopher's stone, but the idea of using one still somewhat bothered her after all these years. The idea had already formed in her head, she had just hoped it wouldn't come to that. Nonetheless it was more productive than simply finding a new host as that would rot her body even further. "Fine, I'll do it then." And with a flash of light the legendary alchemist was gone.

(Lol, how anti-climactic.)

[Father [Azerik]]

"Waste of time," Homunculus said in a disgusted tone as Dante left, "that woman needs learn her place. How does she think that my body or Hoenheim's body repairs itself when it is damaged. We are living philosopher's stones, our bodies are healed in the same way she would have to heal herself with the philosopher's stone."

Slouching once again on his throne, Homunculus put hs chin on his palm, and dozed a bit, not really sleeping, but not really awake either.

(Anti-climactic is one description )
