[Forward dated to April 6th]

[The latest post on the network is a video: a man, late 20s, with a pretty face and a charming smile which he’s directing full-force at the camera. The image is shoulders-up only, though the camera is a little bit away and tilted, as though he has the communicator propped up at an angle. The face itself may be quite familiar to some.]

Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Roy Mustang. I understand that some of you may be already be acquainted with me from a previous stay. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to recall anything from my time here. I’ve been told it’s a common enough phenomenon, despite how absurd it sounds.

[He gives the camera a somewhat rueful smile.]

But I certainly don’t want to burn any bridges. So if there any beautiful women out there who knew me before, please, don’t be a stranger. I’d love to get to know you all over again. Going through my old belongings I came across a couple of names in particular—Elizabeth and Jacqueline. Such charming names, I’d love to be able to put them to faces.

My employer at Il Fiammeggiante Ragazzo bar in Heropa has been kind enough to allow me to offer an incentive for stopping in to say hello. For the next week, through Saturday, the first drink is on the house for any imPorts who drop by. I hope I'll be seeing a few of you there, whether you're a lovely lady or not.

[And then he leans forward to cut the feed. He'll be doing replies mostly in video, and for the observant among you, you may notice that his eyes aren't quite tracking the camera at all times.

For those of you who decide to take Roy up on his offer, there is a log here]

[The disapproval is practically dripping in Ed's tone. This is probably nothing new for Roy.]

They put you in a bar? And you're actually going along with it?!
fullmetalbrat: (SIGH)

That sounds like something adults tell themselves to feel better about getting drunk.

... A bar, really? I admit I'm surprised.

It is a bit of a change. They at least tried to put me near the military when they assigned me.

In a bar, oh yes. But tending it? We're not known for our taste in alcohol.
fullmetalbrat: (AND THAT'S WHY COLONEL IS A SHIT)

Better than that rusty crap of yours that you're trying to pass off as wisdom.
dendarii: (good point)

[ That ... also matches Miles' experiences with bars, yes. He just laughs after a moment. ]

Then I won't argue further. Especially with that free drink offer. That's about half the night's drinking for me right there.
dendarii: (cunning plan)

[personal profile] dendarii 2016-04-04 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
... I could use one after this week, actually. Would you mind terribly?
fullmetalbrat: (BITE ME. MAYBE YOU'LL BREAK YOUR TEETH)

[personal profile] fullmetalbrat 2016-04-04 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Just what are you trying to say, Mustang?

[personal profile] dendarii 2016-04-04 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Did you. I don't suppose we encountered each other ... ?

[ That's his totally subtle way of asking if Roy saw that post blowing his cover to shreds. ]

[ Well. Shit. Too much to ask for, he supposes. ]

Ah, well ... then you know the whole story.
fullmetalbrat: (COME DOWN HERE AND SAY THAT)

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING SHORT?!

Everything that really can be in public, I suppose. I'm going to have trouble not introducing myself as "Naismith," though.
