[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]

[fatalissimo]

Oh.

[...Beastmaster...]

I told you a girl I know is here; she's not anymore, I think she was sent home. I don't know how things are going to go, but she was from a further point than me.

She said some stuff that makes me think things aren't going to go too well, but she's a bitch so maybe she was lying about it.

[glaciates]

[Whoops???]

That's not good. It's probably not a good idea to trust her, but maybe you should keep what she said in mind anyway. There's no way to know for sure whether she was telling the truth or not. I guess it's good that you don't have to deal with her here though, right?

[fatalissimo]

Yeah. I just don't like the idea of her fucking with my best friend, which she's probably doing if she's back home because, again, total bitch.

[glaciates]

Right, that would be awful. At least time's frozen back there, so it's not like you being here is going to ensure that happens or anything.

[fatalissimo]

...Yeah.

I know it'd probably just piss her off, but sometimes I think I'd prefer to bring my friend here than go back there.

[glaciates]

I know what you mean. Like I said, this place is much better than Amestris, so even if I could go back, I wouldn't want to. I think your friend would eventually get used to this place though. You've done a good job of it.

[fatalissimo]

She'd get used to it, but until we've beaten that thing we're fighting I know she wouldn't be happy here, you know?

[glaciates]

Yeah, I can imagine. When something like that's weighing you down, it'd be hard to be okay being stuck here.

[fatalissimo]

...She'd also want to find the guy who was trying to take over yesterday and kick his ass.

[glaciates]

Well, I imagine that would entertain her for a little while at least!

...What was that guy's problem anyway?

[fatalissimo]

I don't know, but the way he's going, he won't be accomplishing anything but baiting all the terrorists he was yelling about into proving him wrong and verifying that he can't handle jack.

[glaciates]

Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if Seth suddenly becomes active again in a few weeks. I can't understand why he'd think that would be a good idea, or that anyone would listen to him in the first place.
