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.]

It happened shortly after I arrived.
Don't get excited, though. It's only for a few days and then things go back to what's normal for this place.
no subject
[Said as flatly as possible. If there was anything Veronica needed to kill the good mood she was having, that would be it.]
no subject
I don't make the rules. If it were up to me, things would be a lot different around here.
Whoever is running things around here doesn't like people having more powers than the wildlife.
no subject
[She kicks the ground, more than a little frustrated.]
Dammit, I don't want to go back to how it was before. I don't want to lose everything.
no subject
You get used to it. Memories from these days will be a little hazy, anyway. It'll feel a bit like a waking dream.
no subject
Maybe, maybe not.]
So, on top of losing our powers again, we forget that this has happened.
[....]
Dammit.
no subject
It's frustrating, but there's probably nothing stopping you from writing a note to yourself.
[He's a little too easygoing about things like this. Sorry, Veronica.]
no subject
[Sigh. Yet another reason to hate this place.]
no subject
[Bits and pieces of conversations? Sure. But that happens anyway as far as he's concerned.]
You'll be fine.
no subject
She's just. going to go mope about this for a while.
Darn world. Why you gotta be like this.]
no subject
Greed's aware he needs to try to help more, even if he's bad at comforting.]
I'm not sure how long you've been here, but you get used to it, eventually. Not having what it is you normally have. It's good and bad.
Next time it happens, you'll be prepared. It happens every six months, so now you know. It'll happen again in May. Enjoy it while it lasts because you'll only feel rotten being angry about it.
