And let the costume party commence ...

[apocalypsos]

*glares at all of you*

If you're expecting a happy, shiny hostess, you're all out of your goddamn minds. Bar is in the back. Pool table's to your left. Jukebox is to the right. And if any of you pull anything, I swear I'll shove the closest weapon so far up your ass, you'll think you swallowed an armory.

Like you're not all dead already anyway.

*grabs a bottle of tequila*

*heads off with gun in hand to watch the door for suspicious characters gunning for my son*

She'll kill me. I'm not ready to die, yet.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I make a very effective human shield. You can hide behind me.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

She's my lieutenant. I'm not going to make her angry enough to shoot me when I depend on her.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Again, I say, yer no fun. Guy's gotta live dangerously sometimes!

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Please don't say things like that? It's not as if we never see any danger. *wait for it...* Shit! I've lost the bean! *head against table*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Ah, relax. I'm sure Ed'll be fine, so long as the bobblehead doesn't get ahold of him. Or the crazy lady. Or, uh, the other crazy lady...

...well, crap. Guess we better go look for him.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

*sigh* He's so small there's not much chance of finding him, unless we step on him accidentally. Heh. *hangs head* Just great. Fuck you too, Fullmetal. *nurses his drink*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

You guys have some weird names. Though I guess we have that at home, too - I hang out with guys called 'Robin' and 'Impulse'. *shrugs helplessly*

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

*gives him a weird look* As in, the bird and the response? Well... truthfully, I suppose our titles aren't the best. *saddened by this*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

To Impulse's credit, the name at least fits, and Rob inherited his from another guy, so it isn't his fault his name sucks. Pickers can't be choosers when you're in the sidekick biz, you know? Though why a bird would help a bat is way beyond me.. 'least my name makes sense.

It's hard to work out good titles, really.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Wait, you inherit your names? What crazy world is this? The titles we have are given because of our abilities...

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Well, we kinda do it both ways. Some've us make our own names - like, say Superman. He's.. well.. super, I guess. Invulnerable-ish, can fly, really strong, and he can shoot frikkin' laser beams from his eyes. He doesn't need 'em attached to his head, like sharks.

...sorry, pop culture reference again. Ed never got those.

But, then you have a guy like me. I'm Superboy. I can do all that (but better, seriously), but since I'm (*grumble*) younger than he is, I get the -boy suffix. It's a little crappy sometimes, but logic dictates I get his name once he finally kicks the bucket, so..

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

That's... not very original. But you seem to have an interesting world. You don't use alchemy, either, do you?

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of, anyway. Ed makin' a pool cue earlier was the first time I've seen something like that done called by that name. I know a lot of people who can do weird magic-y stuff, but it was a new one on me.

It's a pretty cool place. Crazy, but fun. If you're ever around Metropolis, y'should stick around for a week or so, take in the sights.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

The bean is unique. *smirks slightly, but not in too mean of a way* If I'm lost in your world, I guess I won't have a choice.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you're lost in mind, I know a bunch of people who're probably your best shot at getting home. Wherever that is. Alternate dimensions and trips to the future are kinda second nature to a lot of us. It's a weird town.

...why do you call him a bean, anyway? That 'incident' he mentioned didn't involve way too much Tex-Mex, did it?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

He's got a height complex. *shrug* He makes a big deal over it, so I can't help but tease him sometimes. *Ed is 4'11 XD* And which incident?

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I figured he had a complex'a some kind. *flails his arms, trying to mimic Ed's voice* 'WHO'S SO SMALL YOU NEED THE HUBBLE TO SEE?!' isn' something you hear from folks with a lotta self-confidence, y'know?

An' I dunno which one. Evening's been weird enough that a lot of stuff is kinda blurring together a little. Sounded like he said it with a Capital I, though, you know what I mean?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Trust me, if it ivolves Edward Elric, every incident has all capital letters, bold, and underlined.

Hence why he needs to be charred a little now and again.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Hey, so long as the charring isn't permanent, he'll be stronger for it, right?

(OOC: Dude. We have THE THREAD THAT ATE ST. LOUIS going on here. XD )

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

(OOC: Do we get cookies? XD)

He barely even notices, if you've seen how easily he can start yelling over small matters.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

(OOC: I dunno, but I wanna put our thread in a Godzilla suit, sic it on Tokyo and see if Gamera shows up. :D)

Small matters. Heh heh.

So 'splain this alchewutty thing to me?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

(OOC: Whoot! Call Gidra!)

Alchemy? It's the science of taking something apart and reforming it into something else. I assume Fullmetal made this pool stick from something of similar substance. Like that.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Stupid Question Bonus Round! Why the heck's he called Fullmetal? An' what do they call you, anyway?

Alchethingy sounds pretty handy. Most magic-y looking science I've seen in a long time, though, no 'fense.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Try lighting his right arm on fire sometime. And as for me... my official title is the flame alchemist. You saw why.

Heh, well I'm not surprised actually. From what I've seen, the rules of the worlds seem to be very different.
