[Oh, look it's that twiglike scientist again. Expect at the moment doesn't appear as twiglike as usual. The backround is dimmly lite but some binomials can be seen on wall behind him. Crocker appears twitchy in his eyes and speaks in a tired and raspy voice]

For those who may have thought I, was - [There's a pause and mumble] This is so awkward. [His vocal returns] Had my body 'hitting' on any of you during that - VIRUS! I do apologize. Let me make this clear [His glasses slimmer] I have no interest in dating, getting romantically involved or -------- AWKWARD in bed with any of you.

[Private to Chibi, Zelda and Kimblee]

If any of you should visit. You should probably know I've - BOOBY TRAPPED my house till these - murders are over.

You never know until you try.

[The tone isn't as arrogant this time around, sounding just as tired as Crocker does. Maybe this is one of those times where he won't scare the other guy off?]

Been there. Not interested in going back.

Bad experience, huh?

[Looks away] Maybe..... [Before looking back at the screen] Your bodyswap experience tire you out as well?

N... o.

Something else.

[He's not even good at saying more than a few words right now. It might be awhile before he's able to get into detail.]

[Draggy voice] It's been a long week. Hasn't it?

Apparently for the both of us.

Yes. [Suddenly random spontaneous crying or is it random? Maybe has to do with the first question. Denzel cries himself out before groaning.] If only one could turn back the clock.

No.

No, you can't. That's bad. Don't ever touch any clocks.

Never said I was. Only that I wish -

I take you tried?

...yes. And nearly ended everything.

Well, theoretically when altering time, you want to be careful not to tear apart the very fabic of reality.

I was being careful, for awhile. Then it just... spiraled out of control, of my own doing.

[Randomly passes out onto the table, with no ow and starts snoring. Yup, Vat coma]

...

Wonderful talk.

Are you truly that frightened by them, Crocker?

Yes. [His voice sounding anxious and paranoid]

You realize that if the killer has you in his sights he may simply wait to catch you out on the streets or even find a way to bypass those traps, correct?

_{[A beat.]}

Why are you afraid?

[Long pause. Sounding a cross between crazy and paranoid and tired] You know, I don't ever have to come out again. After all, I get all the social interaction I need via this device.

[Beat. Really?]

Come on, you dance with me at the masquerade. You tell me. [What do you think I have? A schwarzenegger body or magical powers? If so he wouldn't be scared. Oh, and living alone.]

I doubt that would really stop our little murderer if he really wanted your life. It certainly wouldn't stop me if I were in their shoes.

It's not my job to tell you why you're afraid, Mister Crocker.

[Again another pause] I CAN STAY UP FOR DAYS WITH COFFEE! I DON'T NEED SLEEP! [Before exhaling hard and gasping for air. His voice returns to being tired]

I'm not strong. No supernatural powers and I don't know how to fight.

And when you run out, then where will you be?

_{[Because he is so not running errands for someone.]}

You have two legs, you know. Use them.

I don't have a reason to run out. Food isn't an issue. [Sounds talking to himself] Considering, after that person who switched bodies with me made me fat. [Yuk] Excuse me. [Several minutes later comes back sounding tired] Only thing I should do is monitor the coral.. [Normal ton] DARN IT! [Coughing] Yeah, yeah. I will.

Edited 2012-09-30 00:59 (UTC)

Fat?

[There's a fresh raspy voice as well] Yes, I was wearing a different size pants by the time I got back in my body. Speaking, of which, how was your bodyswap?

I... don't see how that's a problem.

_{[Really, he doesn't.]}

It wasn't anything too exciting, thankfully. _{[Automail, how does it work??? He's. Gained some respect for Archer after that.]}

Well, for one I don't need that much food. [There's a noise somewhere between diguist and depression and mumbles] Destorying my body like that. [How dare he!]

Who was that man? I spoke with him briefly.

Don't take it for granted, Crocker. I still haven't gotten used to being able to eat whenever I please, so I practically inhale my meals.

_{[Prison, man. Prison.]}

An acquaintance of mine.

All this talk about food is making me want to throw up. Excuse me a moment.

[Comes back a few minutes later sounding raspy]

Sorry, you where saying? Who was that man?

_{[Oooookay. He's just going to stare at his SFC for a few minutes.]}

Perhaps you ought to get that checked out by a doctor.

And as I said, an acquaintance of mine.

[Catching his breath and then a pause]

You care why?

[Beat]

From another universe or you own? Or from your own but an alternate version of your world?

Don't misunderstand me, Crocker. I don't care.

Technically he's from my world, but yes. An alternate version would be more accurate.

[Silence as his mind is computing human socializan]

Oh! My mistake... I just don't get that usually from people... [Outside of mother and Zelda at least]

The saying is appreciated, however.

[Beat]
If that's the case, why doesn't he believe in magic?

[Short pause] Or is alchemy something not accepted by society? But that can't be right.... The way you made it sound.

Edited 2012-10-01 00:26 (UTC)

Some people have different beliefs, Crocker. For example, I didn't believe in the existence of Homunculi until I actually met one in the war. Besides, I told you that alchemy is more of a science. Those who are unfamiliar with it would be the ones to classify it as magic.

Yes, I'm well aware of that.

Homu - what?

War?

In which case, we need to get to our 'offers'. So, I don't keep making that mistake.

Homunculus. An artificial human, or as I've come to know them as, evolved humans. Since then I've met a number of them.

And yes, war. I served in one about seven years ago as a human weapon.

Define 'evolved human'

A human weapon?! [Some coughing and yes he took that literally]

I couldn't be any more clear, Crocker.

That's what I said. _{[It's... not too far from the truth, really.]}

Well, my mind is thinking one of two things. Either you mean a cyborg. Which, I'm doubtful or you mean some kind of being created though a supernatural process.

....Why? What was the war about?

A what-borg?

It was a civil war, actually. We've had a few clashes in the southwestern part of Amestris until one of our people accidentally shot a small Ishvalan child in 1901 and then it erupted into riots and eventually shifted into an all-out civil war that lasted for seven years. In the last year, Fuhrer Bradley issued Order 3066 which in turn sent the State Alchemists out to the front lines to serve as human weapons. Within a matter of months, we alchemists ended something that lasted years. Myself and another alchemist were very well known during that time due to the nature of our alchemy.

[There's a clunk, with no following of 'ow' but rather some light snoring. Someone just fell into coma]

Arf! [If you wanted a bodyguard dude, you could've just asked!]

...... I never thought about that. Would you?

[He nods resolutely.] Wuff!

[Creepy smirk] I do enjoy the unconditional love of you - [Suddenly just falls asleep face flat on the table and lighty snoring]
