004 Things Aquired - [action; FOURTH WALL]
[He's suddenly, horrifyingly aware that something is terribly wrong with his body.
What... what's going on? He breathes in through his nose, and he can tell immediately that he doesn't need to breathe in air by the way his chest doesn't quite give in a natural way.
Has he... has he gone back to being a Homunculus proper?
Dammit, he had been so close to being happy here. So close to finding humanity normal, and now he's back to square one.
Greed rushes to the peer, watching the ocean with a mix of forlornness and anger. And then he jumps off the edge, like anypsychology unstable normal person might do when they want to test something out.
He doesn't let himself sink far. He's aware almost immediately that he still doesn't need to breathe, even under the waves. There's only the stillness of the water and his own anxiety for maybe two minutes before instinct that he must have learned from newfound (newly lost?) humanity kicks in and he quickly resurfaces, climbing back onto the flooring, his legs dangling off the edge of the pier.
Greed doesn't try to test his Ultimate Shield. He's not sure he wants to.
Maybe he should get inside before someone notices him dripping wet (and the fact that his hair is far too perfect for someone who just jumped into the ocean) but he's too morbidly fascinated with his own lack of a heartbeat.]
((ooc: general catch-all fourth wall post. Feel free to set your thread after Greed stops being an idiot if you'd like.))

[At least he's fairly easy to lead in conversation??]
no subject
I suppose so.
Can't complain, it's better than where I was before. How about you?
[Because trouble either finds Greed or he finds it and he doesn't really think this guy is any different.]
no subject
[Because he's kind of dead. ...Okay, really dead.]
no subject
No? Me neither, really.
It's a little weird. The cultures are basically opposites from each other. That's not a bad thing necessarily, it's just the way it is.
Granted I was getting a bit bored here but then this weirdness happened. The timing is impeccable.
no subject
I'm from a place that's nothing like this one as well. This place is... way more relaxed, I guess.
no subject
[Not that he particularly minds, granted.]
Yeah? I haven't spoken to too many people since I arrived here, but I've run into a few people from where I'm from. That place is a hellhole and I'm much happier never going back to it.
no subject
[No corrupt government to deal with, after all!!]
no subject
[...But let's stop dancing around now.]
It is a pretty shitty place.
Seems people keep showing up from my end of it lately.
no subject
[Look, he wouldn't know how to dance around it if you asked him, okay. He's just socially stupid.]
no subject
Same place you are, probably.
Amestris.
no subject
...Yeah. Yeah, I'm from Amestris. Which version are you from? The one with Kimblee-in-a-white-suit or Kimbley-in-the-military?
[...It's kind of sad how Kimblee/ey defines which version of Amestris people are from...]
no subject
The one with the latter.
I know the guy, actually.
[Well, at least he thought he did. There's still that whole "was betrayed for the new shiny thing" situation.]
[...It kind of is, actually. Hold on, this should probably be funny in how incredibly ridiculous it is.]
