[Video]

[The scene is a cramped room, full of mechanical bits and tools of all sorts. A teenaged girl is staring in the viewscreen. She reaches out and taps on the casing.]

I don't get this thing. Where did it come from? The technology is so different than what I'm used to. [She frowns then sits up, exhaling sharply so her bangs fly up away from her forehead.]

But I guess I can talk to people from here, huh? So, I'm Winry Rockbell. [A sweet smile breaks on her face.] I hope to get to know you soon.

Oh, I'll bet he does. That I'm a bitch, right? [Just because I scold him for destroying his automail.]

Nah. A guy calling a girl a bitch is so common it wouldn't even be worth remembering. He said some stuff about you that's... specific.

Specific, how?

Like that'cha delivered a baby pretty much by yourself. That's pretty impressive for a kid! He just kept gushing about it.

And on top of that, yer a mechanic, huh? Really good with automail, he says. That's really complex stuff, ain't it? He's impressed by it. Says he thinks about you over---[Ahem!] at yer work bench a lot. Real thankful for the automail, and it must be good stuff to hold up to his stupidity.

Keepin' this under a lock 'cause there's a lot of not-so-nice people on this place. Too much personal information shown to strangers is dangerous, you know? Whatever you're usin' to connect to this place takes sneak videos enough as it is, so take privacy where you can get it. One chick about your age got videoed undressing.

Oh! If you pretend to get mad at him about whatever I said here in private, you'll get a really interesting reaction! He's a laugh a minute when it's about you.

Thank you for your advice, Mr...I'm sorry. I don't think I got your name.

Videoed undressing...? That's terrible! Did anyone tell her? Wait, no, I don't want to know.

That's...that doesn't sound like Ed. [That's so sweet! This man must have mistaken Ed for Al.] What do you mean, a laugh a minute when it's about me? [Serious. Totally. Despite the blush.]

I'm Greed! It's a name you might wanna think belongs to a bad guy, but if you've heard him talk about me, I wanna point out I'm a different guy. Different "world" or somethin'. The one he got into a fight with's dead and all.

The video went up in public for everyone to see. Be hard not to hear about that. So, you might wanna keep your... computer... camera... device thingy wrapped up in a towel or a blanket when yer not usin' it. I'm sure he'd show you what I mean by a laugh a minute if that kinda thing happened, but... there're ways to get a fun reaction out of him without embarrassing you.

When you're the topic, he gets himself all tongue tied and screams and sulks and goes on about nice smells. Must be a real handful if he's always like that around you.

Umm...no, he hasn't said anything about you. Sorry. Dead? Dead, how?

That's very good advice. Thank you, Mr. Greed. I'll remember that!

[Thoughtful.] Well, that sounds like Ed. The screaming and sulking part. Tongue tied? Nice smells? Me being a topic?

[There's an immediate, near palpable change in his mood and posture even if he strains to keep smirking.] Since it wasn't me, I don't know all the details. I just know the military came in with him and did a slaughterhouse number. S'what Dogs of the Military do, I guess.

You can get why it's funny to see a kid like that be so focused on a nice clean-cut girl like you. Makes sense when Armor-kun does it, par for the course 'n all that, but the one who goes on and on about'cha is...

[Ed...took part in slaughtering people...? No...that's not...he wouldn't...]

I...I don't understand.

[Mumbling and not looking directly at the camera anymore.] Yeah, I don't got a great idea of exactly what went down, either. I... got stuff to go do now, so, keep smellin' good and bein' soft and all that other stuff he gets funny over. See ya around the place.

[Log off.]

...Mr. Greed? ...Sir...?

[Little sigh.]

[Locked] No, he's not bitter about his crew that isn't his crew being killed. Not at all.
