[Hughes' expression is fairly unreadable.]

Hey, is anyone else able to contact Roy Mustang? I can't seem to get a hold of him. I can't contact Hawkeye either.

I see.

...What of the Watch?

[comradery]

Not sure what will happen with that. I assume somebody will be able to pick up the pieces, but his role will be pretty hard to fill.

{ audio: private }

[prosecutory]

I agree. But that role will have to be filled as soon as possible.

{ audio: private }

[comradery]

Yes, unfortunately. Hopefully, whoever decides to take on the challenge won't be overwhelmed by it.

{ audio: private }

[prosecutory]

Hopefully. But I'm certain there are some members who have had sufficient experience.

{ audio: private }

[comradery]

Probably. Kind of wish I knew more about what was going on though. I dunno'. Things seemed like they'd be okay 'cause Roy was in charge, and I know Roy's good at handling that type of thing. I don't really know anyone else here though, ahaha...

Not though I don't think someone else could do a good job, it's just that I don't really know them, I guess...and that makes it feel really different.

It would help if you and the others, especially the more experienced members, discussed this matter as soon as possible.

{ audio: private }

[comradery]

Heh. I'm not a member though. I mean, I did help Roy some, but that was the only connection I had. I'm basically an untrusted party right now. It seems like people are moving to take action, so things should probably be okay though...

[Oh. Ohhhh.]

Do you have plans of joining the Watch, then?

{ audio: private }

[comradery]

Honestly? Patrolling and security aren't really my thing. If I had to join that line of work, the Agency would actually be the best place for me since I was an investigator for the government back home. I specialized in serial cases and reconnaissance. Did more paperwork than field work, though I'm sure you know how that goes. [He chuckles.]

So, no, I don't think I'll be joining it anytime soon.

[prosecutory]

...You are interested in the Agency?

{ audio: private }

[comradery]

To be honest, I am fairly interested. [Now that he was warming up a bit to this new world, anyway.] However, I already have a job, and despite my interest, I don't think it'd be the appropriate to quit it so soon when I haven't even been there a month. It'd be unprofessional.
