012 Things Acquired [text; action for Goldenrod]

[ossifragant]

So here's a question. This place still likes hypothetical, doesn't it?

Say a while ago something happened to you. One of those should be impossible situations that you were nevertheless curious about. But you don't remember it too well so you were hoping that maybe lightning strikes twice. Just maybe, you'll get your chance to have it happen again and this time remember the situation with a bit more clarity than the last.

You're just that lucky-- it happens again by some act of divine providence.

But when it happens again everything about it feels strange. It's like looking into one of those funhouse mirrors. Everything about it is off. It feels wrong. You remember all of it this time and wonder, despite it being what you wanted, if you dearly wish you didn't. It makes you question yourself. Why would you want to have it happen again? Maybe there was a reason why you don't remember it happening the first time.

What would you do? What the hell kind of situation would you find yourself wanting to happen again? I'd like to know, if you don't mind.

I'm not surprised there. You are rather unique.

And how daring of you.

[The homunculi stand out in no less than four different ways so he wouldn't even bother trying to hide it. He still defaults to calling himself a homunculus even though he's been here nearly a year, anyway.]

I wouldn't call it daring, exactly.

[Even Greed can admit it's arrogance and nothing else.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

What would you call it then?

[ossifragant]

Foolishness.

[He'll leave it at that.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Let's stick with daring. It's more flattering.
