I've been keeping up with the network and I see all hell as broken loose...again.

I seem to have somehow dodged a bullet this time. I'm starting to think maybe I should head back to my old room, just to make sure Riza's all right.

...Hmm.

The damn PDA went missing on me for a while. Suppose I should take better care of these things.

The general activity of Econtra no longer interests me, not that it ever interested me. People come and go here in the blink of an eye and it makes little difference to the cause, or the majority of the residence.

Even the lives of my men, the people closest to me, no longer can hold my interest. Maybe I just can't keep up with them anymore. It was hard enough keeping an eye on two Elrics, but four? I can't hold back the foolishness of all of them. Not to mention the place is fucking swarming with homunculi.

I'm sick of the inaneness and the whining and the fucking useless feeling of it all.

((OOC: Roy's packed up most of his things and gone into hiding. He's likely taken up residence in some abandoned shop or building that's left. He will respond to comments but won't tell where he is. He'll be there until I decide if I'm going to drop him or not, then we'll go from there.))

[Screened, sloppily and rushed to Riza||Laughably Hackable]
Riza....

I need to speak with you. Privately.

...RIGHT NOW.

[/Screened]

There seems to be many new people...some I'm sure I'm supposed to be acquainted with. Welcome then.

As tiring as it ended up being, doing alchemy for Stark was surprisingly fun. Reminds me of days spent transmuting piles of gravel into birdbaths with Master Hawkeye. Although I could have done without the skepticism. Perks of the job I guess.

[Screened to the Elrics]
I want to talk with you, any of you, about the chimera. You know which one.
[/Screened to the Elrics]

((ooc: Not off hiatus quite yet, just had to get another journal entry for the colonel since he wouldn't have passed the upcoming AC without one more in May. ^^; ))

And now Archer is here...

I'm tired of this. Tired of sitting around doing jack shit, waiting for the next attack of an enemy I've been forced to fight.

This isn't just an inconvenience, it's a war. I want no part in it.

I'm finding a way out of this hell hole.

I'm back in my room and back to normal, finally. Not that anyone noticed I was missing in the first place.

I'm feeling oddly tired after all that, but I'm not entirely sure why.

[Screened to Valerie Gray]
I'm not sure how to put this gently so I'm just going to say it. Econtra does strange things to people and it did a number on me. That puppy you had for a while? That was me.

I just want to you know that anything and everything said to me in confidence while I was in that form I will keep to myself. You have my word.
[/Screened]

I'll be taking a long nap if anyone needs me.

((ooc: Strikes are hard to see, and those are Roy's thoughts not mine.))

Ok uh yeah...Roy has been missing for days, actually I think it's nearing a week now and there's been no explanation (or expressed concern from the other FMA kids). Why? Because his mun is a moron who needs to organize things better.

( Explanation under the cut )

Did any of you happen to see that flash of purple light?

I've only seen something like that one other time and I'm really hoping the same thing didn't just happen. I need some confirmation from all of you, what's your status?

It looks like I'm in what was probably a school at one point in time.

I'm too tired to list you all but...you know who you are if I've been concerned about you in the past. I'll be on the steps of the school if you want to come find me.

[Rustling of clothing. The voice that speaks is casual but soft and low as if talking to someone very close by.]

Watch Al and keep an eye out for Fuery, he's probably still blind and missing his glasses.

Hmmm...what else? [a pause] I think that's all....

And don't worry about me, I'll see you when we get there. Wherever there is.

[Another rustling of clothing followed by a muffled smacking sound.]

((ooc: Roy's been taken with group two right in the middle of kissing Riza good-bye. Bye bye Colonel, see you on the other side!))
