OOC - VIDEO ARCHIVE INTERVIEW 1844 - EDWARD ELRIC
I don’t care if the camera is on. I told you that I’m not gonna’ tell you a damn thing until you explain why the hell I’m in this stupid little room or at the very least get me something to eat! I’m starving!
< BREAK. VIDEO INTERVIEW RESUMED IN 27 SECONDS.
INTERVIEWEE HIGHLY UN-COOPERATIVE. >
‘How did I get out of the Dorms...?’ What the hell? I’ve got a busted right arm and a massive gash on my left hand and you’re asking me a stupid question like that?!
...WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SUPER-HYPER-MIDGET PIPSQUEAK WHO PROBABLY MANAGED TO ESCAPE BECAUSE THE OVERLORDS COULDN’T SEE HIM WITHOUT A MAGNEFYING GLASS EEEEHHH?!
< BREAK. VIDEO INTERVIEW RESUMED IN 7 MINUTES AND 43 SECONDS.
INTERVEWEE STILL HIGHLY UN-COOPERATIVE. >
[Panting]
Fine.
It was about two weeks to my fourteenth birthday. You hear a lot of chatter and rumours around the Dorm about what happens to you when you turn fourteen and I thought I had too much to live for to sit back and wait for death.
I made a promise to someone that I intend to keep.
My automail was giving me trouble. I busted it in the training grounds a few weeks earlier and thinking about it now they were probably holding out on fixing it, since they were gonna’ harvest me for parts soon enough anyway. I think my screaming was starting to piss them off; they took me to the medical room and strapped me down to the table... maybe they were gonna’ off me right there and then, it wouldn’t surprise me.
I don’t know what happened next, I guess I wasn’t paying attention. I switch off when I’m having maintenance done, it hurts too much but there’s this commotion and suddenly I’m left by myself.
< SILENCE. 32 SECONDS. NO BREAK IN VIDEO INTERVIEW. >
I used alchemy to escape; I was able to draw a transmutation circle on the underside of the table to manipulate the material and loosen the straps.
< SILENCE. 13 SECONDS. NO BREAK IN VIDEO INTERVIEW. >
...Eh?
The tracer?
I transmuted my automail and used the blade to cut it out of my hand. Hurt like hell too. It still does you bastard so stop messing me around! I don’t want my little brother to see me like this if I kick the bucket!
[Soft chatter]
< SILENCE. 19 SECONDS. NO BREAK IN VIDEO INTERVIEW. >
...You’re such an asshole.
Escaping was easy enough. How? Geeze you want details on that too? Tch.
Like I said it was easy. I just made a few doors here and there I may have caused a bit of damage in the process.... Look I really am hungry, when do I get to eat?
< SILENCE. 1 MINUTE. NO BREAK IN VIDEO INTERVIEW. >
I’m not talking anymore. I want some damn food!
< BLACK. >
