Third Transmutation [Video]

Who: Alphonse Elric and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Vanquish
When: Right now

[When the camera turns on, Al is pointing it at a crate labeled "ALPHONSE ELRIC, SS VANQUISH", with a sponsor logo on it. Unfortunately, Al seems to think it's just a mailing company's label, as he rests his communicator in a groove on his armor to give everyone a view before he eagerly opens up the crate.]

Someone sent me a present already? I didn't think I would get fans this quickly. I wonder what...

[He trails off as he picks up a letter on top of some packing peanuts, reading it aloud to himself, but still audible.]

"Dear Mr. Elric, our company hopes you will take advantage of this opportunity to enter into a unique business arrangement. You see, we've been watching you on the show, and your appearance and sad story hold a lot of potential audience appeal. Your body also makes you stand out in a good way, and we think it makes you the perfect candidate to advertise our products! Please consider wearing our logos in exchange for a modest stipend, or perhaps using some of that nifty alchemy to prominently engrave one into your armor- we'd pay you a handsome bonus!"

[Al stares at the letter in disbelief for a few moments before transmuting it into an origami bird and tossing it aside. He then pulls out the packing peanuts, revealing a package of assorted magnets in various shapes and sizes featuring product logos. Underneath that is what appears to be a package of branded tabards, the perfect size for him to wear. Then, as he digs more, he reveals many samples of said products- mini boxes of cereal, coffee and tea in various flavors, sugar cubes and packets, packets of jam and honey, loaves of plain bread...

Al grabs his communicator and turns it on himself, resisting the urge to facepalm.]


This is a joke, right? They can't be serious... can they?
