Wow, that curse the other day was really hectic, huh? Even though I'm still not sure what the fighting was over exactly, it's good to see that's over with.

[Amu just lets out a sigh] This month seemed to go by pretty quickly, at least for me, anyway. It's so weird, it only just hit me that today is my birthday which officially makes me 16— I never thought I'd still be in this place to celebrate yet another birthday.

Not to mention that the week after will make it the anniversary of my fourth year in The City too. It kind of makes my head hurt if I think about it too much...well the fact I've been in this place that long. Overall, I guess this place has it's moments where it's not so bad— meeting new people and all that but at the same time it makes me feel a little homesick.

...Okay I really didn't mean for that to get depressing. [She laughs slightly, although it's a bit awkward because how does she even do this] I guess I got lucky that there isn't some curse going on today either.

[ ... Okay, sure. This made sense.

This guy looks like he's some sort of cross between playing it off and being just... disappointed in what's happening. Because really. Kidnap someone, at least make it exciting. Or don't kidnap them, and let them get back to their own exciting lives.

But at least he's recording, and he knows it. He's already familiar with the device, and the third look on his face is the one he's wearing while he thinks of what he can do with it. ]

Must've been a hell of a night. Somebody tells me I've been here already? Must've been too - I've got a usual. Not bad. A little creepy. So spit it out, come forward before the court, whatever. Somebody come tell me something interesting.

 Why's everybody stating the obvious? Winter's gonna come. Spring after that. Then summer before you know it.

I'm a warm weather guy myself.

Okay. Here we go.

[He's finally figured out how to use the video, although it's a bit shaky, as he's obviously walking somewhere.]

Two questions that I think people who've been here for longer than me -- so that'd be anyone who's been here for longer than, oh, two weeks, you poor bastards -- can answer.

First of all, where's the best place to get decent liquor around here? It's not exactly legal back home, so I'm reeling with the possibilities, you could say.

[A slight grin.]

Second of all, what kinda jobs can you get around here? I gotta do something to keep me busy, or I'm gonna go insane.

[The device is set conveniently across from Roy -- who is sitting at a desk. He's at home, though, not at headquarters. Still dressed formally, however, because that is just who Roy Mustang is.]

Such curious devices, and yet so faulty. Or perhaps the innocuous yet rather inconveniently unintentional recordings are simply a feature? But that's enough of complaining about what is, essentially, a free resource.

Truly, this is quite the fascinating city. But what I find the most interesting is its elusive history.

The carousel, the clock, these deities, and even a Warden. Handpicked not from nor by the natives but from and by us, the captives.

[He looks like he wants to ask more about it, but instead, he shifts gears.]

Fullmetal, it's been nearly two weeks. I believe playtime is over.

[A ~friendly~ grin before he cuts the feed off.]
