[Video, Fail!Locked to the Elric Brothers]
[The feed starts with another still picture of Naoto and Winry, from Greed. The two are on a green couch in a bar setting familiar to anyone who's ever seen a Greed video post. Greed is behind them with a hand on each of their shoulders, with a wide and jagged smile reminiscent of a coupling between a buzz saw and the Cheshire Cat. Naoto's face is red, her eyes wide, neither girl looking as if they're exactly posing or expecting the picture; for all the surprise at what is very obviously a candid photo, neither looks particularly threatened. There's a voice feed over the image, Greed clearing his throat, attempting to sound official.]
Armor-kun. Kid. [And with those titles of address, he decides sounding official is a waste of time.]
You're alchemists. I got business with you as alchemists. So, let's try that Equivalent Exchange thing. I've got two things to trade, here. Both of you gimmie everything you know on the soul, and you'll get both of 'em back.
[The image fades off to the typical video feed of Greed in the bar, giving a shrug.] Should be a simple trade. You can come in guns blazing if you want, but... Well, the Ultimate Shield only protects me. Any kinda accident that happens 'cause you're sloppy at hostage negotiations is just gonna make us get into the blame game and no one wins there. So, let's keep this simple, alright?
I'm gonna be busy out playin' with the hostages, so if we could just pass on the little round of...
[A deep breath as he does his very best to mock Ed's voice.] I'm gonna kill you, you let them go right now, die, die, die...
[He trails off, unable to quite match Ed's usual enthusiasm and livid gutso. Whew. A breath, a lighter voice attempting to mock Al.] Mr. Greed, this isn't very nice. So, I will not be nice!
[And back to normal.] ... it'll save us a lotta time. If you got the time for that, you got the time to write down your research.
Well, I'll see you around, then! [With a two finger forehead salute, the video cuts out.]
((OOC note: It will be Envy as Greed replying, but all replies will be from Greed's account/computer a few minutes later, if anyone attempts to trace it or some such.))
