[The lighting of the bright room is dim, but it’s easy enough to see all of the figures, one of which you may recognize as Roze. Beside her lays the body of another young girl, seemingly collapsed right where she stood. A bit further out rest a few scraps of armor, bite marks marring its surface. Somehow, the helmet looks especially empty, as if something should be coming out of it but wasn’t
.
Roze moves, her stride different than usual. Confident, arrogant, graceful, she moves toward another face some may remember: Envy. As she does, she passes a blanket, one small enough to hold a baby but none rests within it. ]

The other son of Hohenheim will be here soon. [Even her voice sounds somehow different, colder.] Greet him at the door and bring him to his brother. [The video ends just as purple eyes turned once more to the suit of armor.]

[hoooooly shit she sure is seeing a dead body on the internet isn't she]

[parodies]

[she's going to reply against her better judgement]

Rose?

[Video]

[material_guy]

[Her kid isn't small enough to be a swaddled baby, he knows that much, so even if he can believe that she and Envy were alive even while thought dead and gone, this can not be real.


Logic doesn't do a thing for that sinking feeling in his stomach.]

That's... not even...

[heavenlyhome]

R-roze...!

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

Roze, what's happening?

[makewayforroze]

[Luckily, this video was a "what could have been" than a video that's actually happening right now. Otherwise, the community may have been in quiet a bit of trouble.

But it means Roze's watching it along with you. When she sees other people have replied, she nearly jumps. Hopefully, not too many people will know what the blanket meant or why the armor SHOULD have been moving.

When she speaks, she wears a reassuring smile but her voice is lightly shaking.]

That didn't happen, that isn't me.

[makewayforroze]

[Greed. Does he realize it's fake? She can't know.

But oh! He might go back to wondering if she was Dante!]

That wasn't how it happened. Ed...Ed saved us, before it did.

[makewayforroze]

Kasumi. [Her voice is low. Even if it was just a video, it unnerved her. That COULD have happened, very easily.]

It's fake.

[makewayforroze]

It's fake, none of it happened.

[She's repeated that but she needs to keep saying it. It didn't happen, none of it did.]

[material_guy]

"Son of Hohenheim." Tch. Another damn century and she's still all over him... Even after getting her hands on one of those. The hell's she even need his ass for anymore?

[heavenlyhome]

...I'm glad that you are all right.

[makewayforroze]

I... I'm not sure. [Had she even told her? She couldn't even say, either way. It had been more like fits of consciousness that became fewer and further between as time went by.]

[makewayforroze]

It's alright. The real thing happened years ago and someone saved us before it got this far.

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

Oh thanks to god. Are you and your son okay?

[makewayforroze]

We're both fine. This happened years ago and it never went this far.

[material_guy]

...Right.

Sorry. It's got nothing to do with you anymore anyway, right? Just some stuff that didn't happen...

[makewayforroze]

I wish I had some answers. She did talk, sometimes but she waited.

[material_guy]

There's nothing to answer. It's got nothing to do with me anymore either.

[makewayforroze]

[She's quiet. Really, she should leave it at that but it seems like it has her thinking too much.]

I thought about it a lot but it's very different to see it.

Yeah, once you get used to seeing her in one body, even if you know the kinda thing she does, even when you know she's got a freak like Envy on her side, it's weird the first time it looks like someone else doing... all that.

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

I'm relieved to hear that. What exactly was happening there? Do you know?

[makewayforroze]

...Especially when it's your face.

[She's obviously genuinely shaken by this.]

[makewayforroze]

She was a alchemist who tried to take by body. A friend saved us bur... in the video, he must not have made it in time. I was gone, my son and another friend was dead.

[material_guy]

[So he should obviously just leave her alone; it's not like they're friends and poking at old wounds it just awkward.

Yet here he is, not logging off, sitting there on the video letting it record his uncomfortable silence.]

..Aa, that kid probably didn't know she could do that. As long as Envy was around showing his face, she could've played your part and probably gotten over on him, too. He's a sucker for pretty girls...

{And that's supposed to help somehow. Realizing it didn't quite work, he shifts again awkwardly on the couch, as if sitting on something hard, but somehow too lazy to just get up.]

That's... So. I'm saying... the way it really went is good. Real good. Even if it wasn't perfect...

[He's not exactly satisfied with that, either.]
