[Dist is out in his driveway, meticulously working with the Kaiser's gun. He'd been a bit nervous about powering him up, but unlike last time he didn't start sparking and exploding, so Dist decided to count his blessings. Later on he would do a more thorough inspection, but for the moment his main project was modifying the gun to fire something other than its specialized fonic shells. Nails had seemed like a cheap and effective alternative, and as such he'd built up a stack of them sizable enough to build himself a second house. Now, the only thing to do would be to load it up and see if it could fire them in the first place to determine just how much modification would be necessary... so, naturally, he loaded the gun up and aimed it at the lawn.

Another thirty or so seconds later, the lawn, the side of the house, and half of the car are riddled with hot nails. The gun had fired, but it had spun wildly out of control; the only reason Dist hadn't been run through was because he'd been holding it from behind. Completely unperturbed, he sits himself down in the Kaiser's cockpit and begins to take the gun apart.]

And that makes you inhuman?

I'm curious. And I'm not going anywhere.

I like your style. But I'm not just going to give information for free. I want to know something too.

My style is impeccable. What do you want to know?

One, who are you, and two--

[Snooping around the robot now, poking at it every now and then.]

What is this?

You can call me Dist; I come from a world called Auldrant. And this, [he extends an arm, indicating the Kaiser] is my masterpiece.

Auldrant? Never heard of it! ...Can you drive this thing? Transmute a soul to it?

Of course I can drive it. It's the most sophisticated fighting machine in my world.

Souls? I can't say it's ever been attempted. We don't even know if they exist.

How? There's no steering wheel or anything that I can see...

Ever hear of a Homunculus? [Climbing up the back of it to get a better look of this weird machine he's never seen before. Tapping on the green light on the front!] Helloo---?

I haven't. Is that like a replica?

[Okay, he's getting nosy. Dist sets the gun down gently, then moves over to the control panel to start the Kaiser up. He doesn't intend to get into another fight with it, but he can give a demonstration. Just this once.]

Artificial human, by alchemist terms. Human transmutation and all that mumbo jumb--Hey! [Curiosity kills the cat, but in this case it might end up killing Greed. Which is why he's not exactly planning on taking any chances right now. Holding on tight!]

[Dist laughs a bit.]

I'm not going to move him around much, calm down. Without my chair I don't have very solid footing.

[Once the Kaiser has stood up fully, Dist lets go and leans against the control panel.]

Tell me about alchemy.

Well excuse me for not pursuing humanity like the rest of my family. [After he's sure it wont move around anymore, he relaxes and takes a seat on it. It actually gives a nice view of the streets!]

I don't really get it myself, but it's supposed to be some ancient science used to manipulate things around you to change it into something else. There's loads of things you can do with it, actually. You can fuse animals and humans together, bind a soul to a suit of armor... Even try and bring the dead back to life. I've never heard of that working, but you can create humans. I just happen to be one of those created humans.

So not quite like fomicry, then. Fomicry creates copies of things, but it creates the copies out of nothing. I did a lot of research with using fomicry on humans, but I eventually had to leave the country when they outlawed it.

Never heard of it. Me, I ditched the rest of the other Homunculi and my dear old dad. I live up to my name--I'm greedy as hell, and if I was with them, I could never have everything I wanted.

I'm not surprised; you're not from Auldrant. I only know of one other who's here.

What's your name?

[It was nice to have a conversation with someone that didn't involve screaming or threats.]

I only know of... Three people from Amestris. One is supposed to be the new me.

Greed.

The new you? Like a replacement?

I suppose that makes sense. What is it you want? Everything?

Date: 2010-05-19 10:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lifeofavarice.livejournal.com
Bingo!

I want money. I want women. I want power and fame. I want everything in the whole world!

And how is that going for you?

[Amused!]

Great! Except that I'm dead. Or was.

How'd you pull that off? Powerful enemies, or did you fall over a cliff or something?
