It's sure been exciting the last few days. An entire new world showed up~ life and times of Adstringendum surely. Too bad it disappeared oh so quickly. I barely had time to get to know it.
[He flashed a wide grin.]
I would have been a very strict, but fair master to it.
[Speaking of fair master, a cleaver flashed on screen just as bright and shining

That wasn't necessary.

[Awh warning? Greed would be honoured to hear that. Especially by his bestest buddy, Alphonse.
Hello new face.]
Oh? Says who?

[It was a strong warning. <3]

[A warning that Greed could care less for as he brought the cleaver down again to sever another part of that twitching body.]
The wrong monster to start a conflict with over a sick rabbit. You?

Ok now you're just trying too hard, frienemy. UGH there goes my will to eat lunch!
You would have become a memory-less drone just like the rest of them, are you kidding? Good riddance. Also do you need attention or something? What's up with the melodramatics?

[..Oh good, Yappy showed up. Again there's another chuckle much like the others he reserves for the things he doesn't like and yet show him enough entertainment that he can tolerate them.]
Your will to eat is gone? That's an interesting fact I hadn't anticipated about humans. How easily you're turned away from basic instinct, by something that should also be basic instinct. You realize of course, I still have creatures living here who have the need to eat?
[Greed stopped the skinning of the rabbit, his attention turned toward the PCD and a bloody paring knife waved in the air.]
Of course, I am Greed. I wish for everything. You wanna join me for something to eat? Or are your staple needs still crushed by this?

You do realize that humans do a LOT of things that goes against basic instinct, right? We over consume until we're obese and we ruin the planet and we start wars when there's slim chance of success, all in the name of a Creator-God that most likely doesn't exist. Some of us become vegetarians when its scientifically proven we're omnivores. We covet our neighbor's wife simply because we don't have her and she's new and shiny. We say one thing but do the opposite all the time. The thing that separates humans from animals is free will, Greedy. You throw that in and you can kiss logic goodbye!
[Oh God stop waving that bloody thing in the air you psycho]
I'm terrified to even think about what you consider 'eatable'. Why would the personification of Greed need to eat anyways? ...Ok besides the obvious 'want for everything'.

[Impressed? Yes. He was, every time this kid started talking about things that usually anyone else just shuffled off to Buffalo and didn't bother with- he could see an honorary Homunculus in the making, so to speak at least. Topher would have made a wonderful sin with his knowledge of how sinful natures worked. How to obviously exploit them. ..Though being called "Greedy" like it was some sort of pet name wasn't too thrilling.]
Greed. Just Greed. I can assure you there is a higher power, but it's no God as far as I'm concerned, just yet another greedy entity even higher than the Animus or their Scientists. I'm impressed by how much you know humanity. Tell me, young man, what is it you do back home?
[He laughed, what else could he do, Greed was actually not too bad in the kitchen. Martel's fault, but still, not too bad.]
Beside 'the obvious', Homunculus can eat if we want to. If it weren't so painful I'd let you see that I have all intact insides. Anything a human has, a Homunculus has as well. We just have no particular need to eat. ( ... )

That's some impressive work...

[Of course it was impressive, who else could do something so impressively? But he did enjoy that smile, giving back a pointy toothed one of his own.]
I've had practice.

innocent?
This is a rabbit, far from anything that could be deemed an 'innocent'.

And do you have to kill the rabbit on the network? There are kids here too you know.

[Greed chuckled.]
Don't you mean to say 'better luck next time?'.
[With a precise little slice sound, off camera at least this time, Greed nodded his head.]
How else do you wet one's appetite? You show them the food they may in time consume, isn't that what you little fragile mortals do?

If the rabbit is any indication of anything, I'm not sure about that "fair master" stuff you were saying.

Is that so, little trinket?
[He set aside meat he had begun cutting by that time.]
A fair master knows that the sacrifice of one for the needs of the many is sometimes a choice that has to be made. I don't see how killing a few measly rabbits so the other rabbits may live, produce more meat and be able to sustain my occupants wouldn't be fair.
Reply
[So not amused.]
There's a difference between sacrifice and cruelty.
Reply
[He grinned.]
No difference, someone is always killed in both.
