I just noticed that there's a lot less folk around recently. I hope they didn't die and their bodies are hidden somewhere that I'll find later. Because seriously....

That would suck.

It doesn't just suck, it's downright creepy.

Well, I guess it would really depend on the state I found 'em in. If they'd already started stinkin', I prolly would puke.

If they weren't recognizable as people, just big gory messes, I'd prolly poke 'em with a stick.

But if they still looked alive and I checked 'em for a pulse, only to find they were dead...that would give me the creeps. I mean, I was used to it in the war, you kinda expect that, but this would be different - no one bothered to pick up the body.

*scrunches his nose* C'mon, Hil... this is all stuff we dealt with 'cuz of the salvage thing... doesn't mean I wanna relive it, 'kay?

[metalhilde]

I dunno. I can't help what I focus on.

...

That's a little gross.

Has this sort of thing actually happened to you?

[metalhilde]

....yes. Well, finding dead bodies. But not finding dead bodies that no one was on burial detail for. That...makes me sad, and creeped out.

It's like no one cared enough to find them for burial, so maybe they're still there. Somehow.

Hello, by the by.

Oh. Uh, hello. I'm Ed Elric.

Yeah, that is sad. Let's hope that's not the case.

[metalhilde]

Hullo Ed. How are you this fine, morbidly interesting day?

EW. What a horrible thing to say!

[deaths_pilot]

That's the mindset when you're workin' in space salvage. When life support goes dead... *shrugs, lets that hang*

[metalhilde]

Actually I was thinking of when I was in OZ, but salvage is bad too.

[metalhilde]

...rather? You mean to say that I might actually find rotting bodies? Ugh.
