Fourth Transmutation [Video]

[thebloodseal]

Who: Alphonse Elric and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Vanquish, if you really want
When: February 4th

[When Al turns on the communicator, he has several smashed, liquified, and otherwise disassembled gumballs on top of a sheet of wax paper on the Vanquish's kitchen table. Hey, he didn't want to make a mess while he did science.]

I'm not sure if it's because I don't have the ingredients quite right or if these are made of something different... but I haven't been able to completely break these gumballs down with alchemy. I'm sure people have tried eating them, so is there anything different about the taste or smell? That's one area I can't do anything in, unfortunately...

Jeez kid, if you were really that hard up for food, you only had to ask.

[thebloodseal]

I know how much you like to keep food for yourself, though.

[avaricious]

While I am stuck with an appetite that could rival Gluttony's, I'm not some fatass that can't share a few breadsticks here and there.

[thebloodseal]

I'll hold you to that when I get my real body back.

[avaricious]

Just as long as it's a few. With how long you've been skipping meals, you could probably give this guy a run for his money. [A casual gesture to himself - or rather, Ling Yao.]

[thebloodseal]

I do have quite a record going, don't I? But I wouldn't dare take too much from Greed.

[avaricious]

At least you have some sense. So if you're not looking for food, why spend so much time on those gumballs? It's not really worth skipping payday just for a few ingredients, is it?

[thebloodseal]

I got them from another ship, so our bonus is safe. It was mostly curiosity, because everyone sure is acting like this candy is important. An alchemist seeks the truth, after all.

[avaricious]

... in other words, you're bored out of your skull.

[thebloodseal]

Maybe a little bit.

[avaricious]

I gotta admit - I'm kind of curious now. Got any left? I wouldn't mind doing a taste test.

[thebloodseal]

Yeah, there's plenty to go around.

[avaricious]

Bring some around next time. I'll let you know if there's anything different about them.

[thebloodseal]

Will do, oh fearless leader.
