011 Things Acquired - [action; FOURTH WALL]
[This time, when the shift happens, Greed is prepared. It's been six months, and it's finally hit him that given how long he spent locked away in a prison with no exit, it shouldn't feel like he's been here a long time-- what that really means is it's been seven months since he broke free of Dante's grasp, and that is a big deal no matter how he looks at it. And yet it does feel like a long time, precisely because it's been half a year without Dante.
He's too proud of himself, like he had been upon first finding himself in the region.
Yesterday, the snow had bothered him because of how cold it was. Today, now that he can't quite feel the coldness of the snow, it's more entertaining than anything else. Maybe in a few days there will be enough snow for him to cause problems with. It's a little unfortunate there isn't enough snow on the ground for him to do anything with it now, but he'll deal with it.
As it is, shifting his hand (his entire body, really) into its carbon-black form is something he's missed.
Terrorizing an entire city would be pretty damn easy to do at the moment, but Greed is going to restrain himself, poorly. Prowling around and generally looking like he's up to something makes him look like the least subtle cat possible isn't something Greed is going to get away with for long. Maybe he'll be able to find someone he recognizes before one of the locals who haven't been horribly glitched some to ask him what the hell he's doing.
Or, more likely, he'll get bored halfway through whatever he's currently doing in favor of paying a visit to his favorite cafe.]

[A snowball explodes into powder on the side of Greed's head, and if he traces it back to its source he'll see a young alchemist giggling entirely too much over something like that. It's one way to get his attention, right?]
no subject
That being said, when he notices Al is the one who threw the snowball at him he raises his brows at the kid, taking a moment to brush the snow out of his hair (it's getting a little long now, isn't it? He needs to take care of that).]
Hey, Alphonse.
A "hello" would have been acceptable.
[...to his credit, Greed sounds amused more than anything else.]
no subject
[He glances up and down the street, checking for cars before he trots across to Greed.] You certainly looked like you were up to something, though.
no subject
[He didn't have any specific plans for massive destruction, anyway. Not yet. It's completely different from having an actual goal in mind.]
This isn't the first time this has happened. All the weirdness.

no subject
I wonder if the crystals are causing it again? But I don't see them anywhere around here.
[Hold on, though. That's something he should pay attention to.]
I'm sure the Ed from our world is around here somewhere.
no subject
Yeah, hopefully. It was great having Brother from that other Amestris here, but...I worry about him, still.
no subject
Ed's gone? When did that happen?
[It's not like he was in constant contact with the kid or anything, but that's a little sad, actually.]
no subject
no subject
I know they weren't the ones from our world, but Ed is still your brother and Winry is still your friend.
[To be honest, Greed preferred the Ed from the other world. He'd been a little strange, but Ed had never once shown the disdain the other had for Greed.]
no subject
[Al nods, managing a small smile that doesn't quite hide the hurt behind it.] Mmm. But I know they're safe this time, and happy. So...it's okay.
[He can handle being alone, if he knows his family will be alright. He's managed well enough before.]
no subject
[He knows it's not anywhere near the same thing as comfort, but both of them are safe. It's something. It's better than their fates being completely unknown.]

no subject
There's plenty to see during one of these weekends. Why don't you pick something out?
[Hopefully they don't pop into another city but he'll deal with if if that happens.]
no subject
no subject
Greed's been here for nearly eight months and has never seen a movie before. They need to correct this immediately. Hopefully seeing a movie during this weird weekend won't mean something is going to burst through the screen halfway through.]
Sounds like a good idea.
[...]
They'll probably be full of bad puns like everything else in this place is.
[He sounds amused, though. He's going to enjoy every second of this.]
no subject
[Al laughs and nods, setting off down the street now that they have a destination in mind.] Hehe, probably! It ought to make the comedies that much better, though.
no subject
You're right. If I'm going to watch a movie, it has to be one with terrible jokes.
