You don't sound very confident. You're still trying to work out how you feel, right? I'm sure you'll sort it out.

[fatalissimo]

...That obvious, huh?

[glaciates]

I know exactly how that goes. Sometimes it's just really hard to figure it all out.

[fatalissimo]

It feels stupid more than anything.

[glaciates]

Exactly. It feels like it should be obvious or at least something you can figure out easily, but it's not.

[fatalissimo]

...Is your boyfriend not-usually-gay too?

[glaciates]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he is. He's definitely expressed interest in women before.

[...but there is Archer and Kimblee's... everything, lbr...]

[fatalissimo]

How the hell did you tell him, then? Or did he tell you?

[glaciates]

I told him. Well, sort of. I accidentally sent something to the network instead of a friend and he worked things out. Then he refused to let it go until I talked to him about it.

[orz]

[fatalissimo]

...You guys are something else, you know that?

[glaciates]

It was really embarrassing...

[fatalissimo]

Hey, it all worked out, right?

[glaciates]

That's true. Even if that was a mess, at least things are much better now.

[fatalissimo]

...Care if I ask you something?

[glaciates]

What is it?

[fatalissimo]

I know you said you don't have anything to go back to, but you're happy here, right?

Like...you actually like it, it's not just because you don't have anywhere else to be.

[glaciates]

Even if I could go home, I wouldn't want to. I guess if I was taken from before I tried to take out Bradley then yeah, I'd be anxious about going home, but since time doesn't move while we're here, there's not really a reason to worry about it. It's not important anyway since I don't have anything to return to.

...The point is that yeah, I'm very happy here. This place is really nice and I've had a good time here. I'm glad I'm here.

Why do you ask?

[fatalissimo]

You're on first-name basis with your Fuhrer?

[No, really, what...]

...Anyway, I don't know. I haven't thought about going home in a long time and it's kind of weirding me out, I guess. I have important shit to do back there, and I really don't know what to do with myself here, anyway, but it's just not something I've been thinking about too much.

[glaciates]

What? No. Bradley's his surname.

I don't know how I'd be handling it if I did have something to go back to. I don't think I'd be doing very well here. I mean, even with time not moving back home, I think I'd just feel anxious being here for so long. But I've always had a hard time relaxing and I do tend to get so focused on one thing that I can't just let things be. I think you're handling it the best you can; it's probably better to not think about it all too much. Eventually you'll go home, after all.

[fatalissimo]

...Yeah, I guess. It's kind of weird that people get so complacent here, though. You wouldn't think we'd all just accept being here so easily, and by that I mean at all - if someone from our world kidnapped us and put us in a park with a pet, we wouldn't be content to sit around and raise it, you know?

[glaciates]

Of course not. I guess it's because there are a lot of people who have been here for so long and there's no known way to get home. Of course if there was a way to get home, I doubt most people would stay here. I guess it's pretty surprising that most people aren't even looking for a way home, but maybe that's because time is stopped for everyone back home?

[fatalissimo]

Maybe. I don't know how many of us would actually leave, though.

I mean, it's never going to be home, but this is better than what a lot of people have.

[glaciates]

That's very true. This place is much better than Amestris.

[fatalissimo]

Are the other guys you live with dead too?

[glaciates]

[Nonon...

...except Isaac sees nothing wrong with this question.]

I'm not really sure I should say, since it's their business who they tell.

[just make it obvious, why don't you]
