Broadcast: Yes
Action: A park on the Starlight
When: February 28th, after this post
[The transmission starts abruptly with a flash of red light. When the image clears, there's a few blades of grass in the way and a grotesque image of a man's back, only it's embedded with pieces of metal armor as well as what looks like an armored hand sticking out from the side. It's all the result of some hideous rebound. The man sways unbalanced and seemingly oblivious to the mess made upon his back. He stands there for a few seconds before stumbling forward and kneeling to something beyond the angle of the camera.]
Alphonse!? [There is the sound of banging on metal.] Alphonse! Dammit, answer me!
[There is nothing. No answer. Just silence.]
Say something you shitty brat! We were getting out of this shit hole together! Don't say you--
[And then, just like that, the feed cuts out without explanation.]

He took the pack from her.]
What's this?
no subject
I'm sorry! I know I shouldn't have taken them from the medical bay, but...
[She trails off, wringing her hands.]
Are you sure you're alright, Mr. Greed?
no subject
This won't do him any good. [He holds the pack out for her to take back.]
no subject
[She takes it back, and then moves to sit down beside Greed.]
Help who? I... don't see anyone, sir...
no subject
[He gestures vaguely to the loose pile of metal that is only vaguely laid out in the shape it should be.]
no subject
But this...]
He... I just — it's armor, Mr. Greed. Are you saying this was...
[She's so lost, though. A person can't be armor. Can they?]
no subject
[And yet... what good is being bonded to scrap metal? There's no way he can do anything with all that.]
no subject
It can't be —
She puts a hand over her heart, eyes widening.]
A... A soul in armor? W-where's his body?
no subject
That's a long story, kid. Call it a cautionary tale in not messing with powers you don't know anything about.
no subject
If this is him...]
