[Hey, it's Greed. Looking far more serious than he did the last time he showed his face on the network. He has the 'Gear propped up so he can talk with his hands today.]

Alphonse Elric has vanished-- gone home, I assume, since I can't get in contact with him; the Gear says his number isn't registered.

If anyone ended up with his Pokemon, can you let me know? I don't want 'em or anything like that, I just want to make sure the guys have all ended up in good hands, you know?

....Just let me know. They're probably upset right about now.

[For a very long moment, Greed stares blearily at the camera.

He doesn't speak, just wraps a fuzzy blanket around his shoulders and looks like he's fuming.]

You know what I really don't like?

Falling asleep for more than a month and waking up to it snowing.

When the hell is it going to be spring again?!

[It's been a while since he was last on camera.

Greed looks cold and annoyed, and he's wrapped himself in a blanket. It's not that cold in his house, he's just being a little melodramatic.

Maybe.]

You know, the last time the weather went haywire, the world nearly ended a few months later. It's not like I'm saying another Legendary Pokemon is going to show up without warning--

[He frowns.]

Nah, who am I fooling. That's exactly what I'm saying.

[Greed appears on camera, looking proud of himself and showing off an assortment of eggs.]

So I ended up with a lot of these recently. Pretty damn cool, huh? I've got a lot of 'em, and they're all ready to go to a good home. I think my prices are pretty fair, too.

If you don't like the price, I guess we could talk something out.

[A curious Meowth works her way to the camera, staring at it before she looks from Greed to the eggs, lets out a soft meow and cuts the camera off with a paw as Greed can be heard in the background saying, "No, don't touch that!"]

((ooc: eggs still available here!))

A year ago today, I found myself in this place. I thought of it as a new beginning, an escape. It's still an escape, really. I didn't think I'd be around here for very long, honestly, after hearing that people don't tend to stick around here for very long.

Yet here I am.

Kinda amazing, huh?

Anyway, I figured I'd say something about today; I'd rather like to consider it my birthday. I don't know what my real one is, so I might as well use the day I arrived here.

A whole year.

Here's to getting lucky and having a second one in this place.

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.

It's been a few months, but I'm back in Goldenrod. I'd say I'm glad to be back, but apparently the ground shaking had to go and happen again not long after I got off the train. I don't have much experience with earthquakes, but we've had a few in a row. That can't exactly be a good sign.

Anyone know what the hell is going on? Is this going to be happening all the time now? At least they're not causing any damage, though the crystal I grabbed back in May makes me think that this is some kind of omen of things to come.

In any event, there are a few of you I wouldn't mind speaking with now that I've returned. I think you all know who you are but I'll be in contact at some point regardless.

Let's hope we've seen the last of this crap until then, yeah?

( action for Goldenrod City )

So here's a question for all of you. What's the furthest you've been from home? Before coming here, I mean. This place doesn't count. I want to know how far people have traveled before coming here.

The name of the place you're from, the name of the place you like going. What your favorite city is called. Things like that.

I've always liked traveling. But I used to spend years in one place, even so. Always found myself drawn back to where I was born. It's one of those interesting things about people. I don't exactly miss the place, but I do find myself thinking about it sometimes. What it would be like if we could go back with memories of this place instead of forgetting everything.

So there's a second part of my question, I guess.

Say you go home, but you remember everything from here. What would you do with that information?

What if you arrived home at a time before the last thing you remember?

So this is Goldenrod, huh?

Not much is open right now but at least I have a room to sleep in. I was getting sick of roughing it out in the woods.

Beats the beds at the inn in Cherrygrove. That was awful for my back. [Greed why did you hang out there as long as you did.]

In any event, I know that some of you I've spoken to are here and I don't plan on leaving for the next city any time soon, so...

Just let me know, yeah?

action;
[In the afternoon, Greed is out and about exploring the city. He's at least acquired an umbrella since the last storm, though judging by how wet his coat is and the state of his hair, the purchase was clearly something of an afterthought bought earlier today.

He stops to watch the ocean for a very long time. This is the first time he's ever seen it. Amestris was landlocked, and he doesn't remember where he came from before that, but he doesn't think that it was anywhere near the ocean either so this is an entirely new experience for him. Especially with the rain hitting the water, it's... almost pretty, really.

It's not until thunder cracks overhead that he decides he should go grab a drink or lunch, or something just to get out of the rain because he really doesn't want to get struck by lightning.

Hopefully Envy isn't in the city right now, come to think of it.]
