Dammit.

Jul 15, 2007 13:32

Good news is, I found one of Mal's attackers, the blonde one.

Bad news is... that really didn't go the way I wanted it to.

*runs a hand through his hair in irritation* Shit...

*horrible ominous feeling, mixed with a fair amount of guilt* Shit. Ed. Ed, what happened? Are you OK? Did he hurt you, man? *swallows hard, his red eyes wide and just this side of panicked*

fm_edelric July 15 2007, 20:45:52 UTC

*shakes head vigorously, eyes downcast* No, I'm fine. Perfectly... fine. Not hurt at all. I just... *sighs, running a hand down his face* Dammit, it would've been so much easier if he was like that piece of shit.

*lets out a shaky breath, fervently glad Ed is alright* What would have been easier? Finding him?

fm_edelric July 15 2007, 20:53:43 UTC

No. Finding him... actually wasn't that hard. *closes his eyes and takes a deep breath* He just... wasn't the kind of person I'd expected.

Uh oh... The turtle eater didn't hurt you, did he? 'Cause if he did, he is SO gonna go 'splodey! *glares, extremely serious about this*

fm_edelric July 15 2007, 20:47:22 UTC

*cracks a small smile at Alphonse's attempt to cheer him up* No, I'm fine. I'm not hurt. ...Turns out he wasn't really much of a turtle eater at all.

betterthaned July 15 2007, 20:48:10 UTC

*blinks* ...He doesn't eat turtles?

fm_edelric July 15 2007, 20:53:10 UTC

*shakes his head slowly* No. He doesn't. He's just... *tries to think of a better word for it but can't* ...stupid.

*blinks* Goodness, Ed, what happened? *concerned frown*

fm_edelric July 16 2007, 03:46:34 UTC

... I... I met one of the guys that beat up Mal.

songless_psiren July 16 2007, 09:00:59 UTC

...Oh? *raises her eyebrows, glancing him over... he seems undamaged* ...You're okay, right?

fm_edelric July 16 2007, 14:16:04 UTC

*nods* Yeah. ...He didn't seem all that bad. But that could mean he was lying right to my face...

*blinks* Who's Mal? ...And why are they attacking him?

fm_edelric July 16 2007, 14:20:04 UTC

*smiles weakly at Edward* Oh yeah, I guess you wouldn't know him, huh? He's an Ishbalan guy from another dimension. A couple of military guys beat him up, either just because he's Ishbalan and they were racist, or because they wanted information on where a rogue group of Ishbalans are hiding in the city. *shrugs* I'm... not really sure which one it is right now.

ipwnturtles July 16 2007, 16:04:30 UTC

Wait. Is he that guy with the giant "X" shaped scar on his face. I remember some guy like that visiting me at the hospital, but I never caught his name. *blinks* And that's really stupid of them, but the military here isn't the brightest. Well, it's stupid anywhere, especially the one where I'm from. *makes a face* .............And when you say bad news, you didn't kill anyone, did you?

fm_edelric July 16 2007, 17:03:12 UTC

*smiles a little more* Yeah, that's him. "X" scar on his forehead, big sprawling tattoo on his arm. Goes by "Mal". *pauses thoughtfully* If you ever see Mal around, I don't think he likes talking about what happened, so it's probably best not to bring it up. But yeah, I know what you mean. Seems like nothing but corrupt bastards are enlisted right now.

*frowns a bit, quickly shaking his head* No, I didn't kill anyone. I just... hurt him. I probably shouldn't have... but I did.

*bites his lip, trying not to think of all the ways it could have gone that would be bad* Um. Oh dear ... What - what exactly happened?

fm_edelric July 17 2007, 17:17:11 UTC

... I found him. And I... Well, he admitted to being involved in what happened to Mal. But he said that he was just trying to get information, because his niece... His niece was recently killed by an Ishbalan, and he was out to find him. A vendetta, of sorts. And I guess Mal just sort of wound up in a "wrong place at the wrong time" situation. I felt bad for him, but at the same time... *getting a little more riled up as he goes* It was just the stupidest thing! It-It's frustrating, knowing how stupid people can get, and I - just with the way he was being such an idiot, I lost my temper and- *stops abruptly, ruffling up his own hair in frustration*

halfburnedout July 17 2007, 18:23:51 UTC

*swallows hard* Edward, I - I'm sorry that it didn't - didn't go like you thought it would. *sighs deeply* It's always worse when they have a - a reason for doing these horrible, horrible things ... *shakes his head, frowning* But from what Mal said, it sounded more like a simple attack than something for information ... I'll have to ask him about that. *bites his lip, steeling himself* You lost your temper and what, exactly?

fm_edelric July 17 2007, 18:29:14 UTC

*slowly shakes his head, as though trying to clear it* Yeah... And yeah, I talked to Mal and he told me the same thing, so now I don't even know if I can believe the guy. It would've been so much easier if he'd acted the same way the other guy did around me. I was so sure he would be...

*flinches slightly at the question* I... I think I broke his collarbone. ... Told him to go to the hospital...
