Broadcast: Yes
Action: Caprine
When: Now-ish

Can anyone here do tattoos?

[Kai’s not certain about letting someone other than Jason cause him that kind of pain, or giving them the trust to mark him like that. But he also doesn’t know when he’ll get home, and not having done it nags at the back of his mind. And the scope of what he wants will probably take a while?]

I can talk about the specifics of what I want, but it’s intended as a sort of memorial, so fair warning there. I’ve got previous ones if you want to look at them.

[Not showing them on a broadcast at large, though, because they’re not in precisely appropriate locations.]

For the rest of you, what sort of things have you done while you’ve been in space that you didn’t think you’d ever do or that you regret.

Trying to get a sense of what I’m in for.

Yeah, it wasn't pretty for a while, and there are definitely still problems.

How did the merge happen in the first place? It seems like it'd be pretty difficult to just... make something like that happen.

[video]

[halfbloodhatchling]

I don't know, to be honest.

No one does, it just...happened.

[video]

[sonofgold]

I see. ... would there be a way to undo it that you all knew of?

[video]

[halfbloodhatchling]

No. Of course not.

[video]

[sonofgold]

I hope nobody was hurt, at least. ... but that's kinda naive of me to hope for, isn't it?

[video]

[halfbloodhatchling]

Very naive.

Parts of both worlds were wiped out by the merge, and three cultures were brought into direct conflict with each other. There was war.

[And that leaves Al quiet for a while.]

War is... a terrible thing to have to go through. My country went through a civil war when I was young, and there was so much needless bloodshed and destruction on both sides. [It didn't help, of course, that Father had planned it to be that way on purpose, but that was a bit much for Alphonse to delve into right now.]

Re: [video]

[halfbloodhatchling]

Yeah, it's a right mess.

[ Kai mostly feels over it. ]

But there are always wars.

[ And there's definitely always needless bloodshed and destruction.]

[video]

[sonofgold]

Yeah... and there always will be, I think. No matter which world or mashing up of worlds you end up in.

[video]

[halfbloodhatchling]

Have you run into that issue here?

[video]

[sonofgold]

Surprisingly, no. Atroma never seems to put us in any mortal danger. You'd think their audience would like the action, but... I guess killing us off wouldn't be very pleasant to watch, either.

Re: [video]

[halfbloodhatchling]

For some audiences. I suppose we should keep them entertained so they don't resort to that.

[sonofgold]

Which can be difficult when they never give us a hint about what they want... or tell us how we're doing. The lack of feedback has made some people believe there isn't actually a show.

[halfbloodhatchling]

Does it really change that much if there is one? Either way we can't leave and have to mainly amuse ourselves, and survive.
