[Maes is humming happily as he digs through drawers, pulling a few things out and setting them in a box. He's got weird bruises, as if a whole cabinet of plastic cups decided to jump up and down on him, but he's in a very good mood anyways. He stands up, kisses the picture of his family that's sitting on the dresser, and half skips as he grabs the

Amendments to information since the second arrival in Adstringendum;

Return to cruel and sadistic behavior, no memories of the previous visit. Appears to be from a slightly altered reality.

Showed no recognition to the names "Dante" or "Evan".

Has instead mentioned "Father".

Other information;

Much stronger and faster than a normal human, with good reflexes and superior agility. Can meet Edward hand to hand.

Starter of the Ishballan War. He was the soldier that killed that Ishballan child. He cites "boredom" as a reason.

... responsible for the murders of Maes Hughes, and Edward Elric.

Last known location in our world; trapped within the Gate after human transmutation performed by Alphonse Elric with the assistance of a Philosopher's Stone.

Thank you, Al. That's a lot more than I expected, and very thorough.

You'd make an amazing intelligence officer, you know that?

Has anyone tried using ice or a temporal slow-down on him before? And... how are you doing?

[[ooc: How did the tea go between them, btw? Are you interested in a log of it, or shall we assume it?]]

You didn't think my notebooks were really just cheesy poetry, did you? [Al gives a soft chuckle, but he flushes with pride.]

... thank you, Maes.

No, nothing that I know of like that. I doubt ice would hurt him, I don't think they really need to breathe. But it could imprison him unless he shapeshifted into something large enough to break it. He's not limited to just humans.

As for a temporal slow-down... no clue. Have something in mind?

Ah... fine. Worried about some stuff, but okay.

[ooc: I'd love to log Maes being fatherly and going Intelligence Unit on him, if you'd like to~]

[meteo_sniper]

Huh? Project?

[brig_gen_maes]

Yes! To help some people who could probably use it!

[meteo_sniper]

You recover fast~!

And I wish you good luck on that!

[brig_gen_maes]

My wife is here now. I have... I have everyone.

Thank you! How is the city treating you?

[for_my_dream]

Interesting. Even a whole families are here?

[video]

[brig_gen_maes]

Yes, they are. Or portions of them, in some cases.

I'm Maes! I don't think we've spoken before?

[for_my_dream]

It can be both blessing and a curse.

We have not, indeed. I'm Griffith, and I've... arrived here just recently.

[video]

[brig_gen_maes]

Agreed. Though I'm leaning more in the direction of blessing, myself!

Welcome, Griffith. Have you been filled in with everything you need?

Where are you going, Daddy?

[in person]

[brig_gen_maes]

Daddy's going out to talk to some people who need some help! He'll be back for dinner, okay, Baby? You be a big girl and help Mommy with dinner!

[daddys_apple]

Why?

[Maes stops to kneel down and kiss her.]

There are some things that people need to hear from parents when they're older, but they don't have parents to tell them, Baby. So Daddy and Uncle Juke and Miss Elric are all going to help them.
