[Have a video of Winry. She looks...irritated.]

Um, hi.

Can anyone tell me what this is?

I still don't think that would work!

He's trying to make her laugh to make up for her being alone after her nightmare.

A loaf in the platypus! If we try to spread that phrase around and make it into a common saying, maybe some alchemist'll finally get on the ball and make this for us!

By being obnoxious as usual?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

...what sort of phrase is that?

I didn't say he was good at it.

[material_guy]

An inspirational one. Now imagine if a Rye platypus went at it with a melon bread platypus or a curry bread platypus or a croissant platypus. I bet there'd be a lotta cross breeding and bread mutts, so the value of pure breads would go up!

I think that almost goes without saying?

Uh....

[material_guy]

...

You're pulling my leg, aren't you!

[material_guy]

There's no such thing as impossible... They could make one...

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

But then they'd have to - to hatch bread.

Mr. Greed.

[material_guy]

That one's clearly not laying an egg of bread! It's just pure, plain bread!

I can't draw animals as well as I can schematics!

[material_guy]

Draw the schematics of some kinda unbeatable perfect robot armor statue... thing!

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

What, now?

[material_guy]

You gotta know by now. I want an immortal body to move myself into. That's somethin' you oughtta draw. The perfect most indestructible body! You don't need to worry about a motor or any of that! Just the form, the form! Who cares if you can draw animals if you can sketch up designs for somethin' as beautiful as that?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I'll draw you a schematic, Mr. Greed, but I'm not sure it'll work. What you want, I mean. Al can't stay in that armor forever.

[material_guy]

That's 'cause they didn't do it right. A long term transfer's definitely possible.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

But you've seen what Ed had to sacrifice to get Al's soul into the armor. And that was out of love. Is there someone who'd be willing to sacrifice himself for you?

[material_guy]

Of course. My things're mine, 'n if I wanna use 'em, I can, however I want. Havin' stuff you're afraid to use is as bad as not--no, it's worse than not havin' it at all!

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

[Winry's not sure Mr. Greed's getting the whole 'willing sacrifice' thing but she's not going to argue with him about it.]

I see. So there are people who would help you.

[material_guy]

Damn right. I'm a likable guy.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

[When you're not threatening to kidnap people?]

You can be.

[material_guy]

[Greed supposes himself likable even when kidnapping, so, really, even when ordering someone to lose life and limb for his immortal happiness, he's sure he'll be nothing short of charming.]


So long as you understand.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I think I do, sir. I'll draw your schematics.

But remember, I get paid to do this kind of work! [Because designing an automail body will be fascinating, but will need a lot of research, too.]
