...Why does everything taste like card board? I thought we had plenty of spices here, Al?

[Have a shrug.

Because the Animus left Rachel mute.]

[saintedsinner]

-=You mean no caterwauling? AWESOME!=-

... What the hell. You have something to say, Rachel?

[Video]

[somethingspecial]

[SHE IS NOT HAPPY, OKAY. She shakes her head 'no' and hesitates for a moment before writing on a notepad and holding it up.]

It's the Animus.

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

-=Have a bit of a goofy grin, there.=-

So you can't talk?

I can't taste a damn thing.

[She opens her mouth to deliver a harsh retort, but closes it. Because no. She can't talk. Instead, have an eyeroll before she blinks to herself and picks up her PCD to turn on the text function.]

They took away my voice, but only for the week.

[saintedsinner]

So you hope. -=a smarmy grin here=-

Because there have been times where the event things have lasted for more than a week.

[Don't say that, Edward, she's in a panic as it is!]

But it will come back, right?

[Video//Text]

[saintedsinner]

-=SIGH=-

As long as you didn't die before you lost your voice, it'll come back.


-=And then she'll be back to babbling their ears off like usual, he assumes.=-

... it's the Animus, it looks like. I think I remember this event.

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

They've done this before? It's pretty stupid, and they must be running out of ideas.

[Video]

[al_truism]

Maybe. They've turned people into kids more than once, too. Changed boys into girls.

They tend to repeat the things they like.

[The more he talks, the more he has to hide how upset he actually is.]

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

...

What's wrong?


-=You can't hide it, Al. This is Big Brother you're talking to.=-


What they do to you?

[somethingspecial]

[A relieved sigh.]

Good.

[saintedsinner]

-=He's done his good deed for the day.=-

Wonderful.

[somethingspecial]

[She feels a little better.]

Does everything really taste like cardboard?

[Video//Text]

[saintedsinner]

Pretty much. Water tastes like water, which is supposed to taste like nothing, and you know that doesn't happen here.

[Video//Text]

[somethingspecial]

It could be worse.

[Video]

[al_truism]

[Al's face falls a little. Ed knows him too well.]

... I'm in my room. I'll tell you there.

[Video//Text]

[saintedsinner]

Maybe. -=Only that if he doesn't eat properly, he'll loose his strength and he needs that to move his heavy automail. Automail doesn't loose weight like the rest of him.=-

[saintedsinner]

-=He doesn't bother saying anything and just closes the connection, moving down the hall to where Al is.=-

...Alphonse?

[Video//Text]

[somethingspecial]

You could be blind.

[al_truism]

[The doorknob clicks, and then the door pulls open. Al steps back. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him.]

... first... what's all left in the first aid kit?

[Video//Text]

[saintedsinner]

I could! But I'm used to finding my way around in the dark. Fighting ability and all that shit.

[Video//Text]

[somethingspecial]

Being blind is different than finding your way around in the dark.

[saintedsinner]

-=That sets off his alarms.=-

What do you mean, what's left of it? Why? You're hurt?
