[comradery]

[The video starts with the camera shaking around. Through the shakiness, one can make out Hughes' knees and feet and possibly the floor.]

Here we go!

[The feed suddenly jerks up and the floor can be seen clearly, but the video starts moving around again soon after. The communicator is being waved.]

Record this! Record this!

[A hand takes the device, and it stops shaking excessively. Bakura replies.]

Okay!

[The communicator gets turned around and positioned properly. One can see Hughes is bandaged up and sitting in a wheelchair. Behind him is Amaterasu who is standing on her hind legs with her front paws set against the handles of the wheelchair. Bakura talks to the two of them.]

Everybody wave!

[Amaterasu grins and raises a paw to motion a wave. Her tail is wagging hard. Hughes grins and waves too.]

Look at what Ammy can do!

[Hughes jabs his thumb in her direction. Bakura speaks up and positions the camera so it's easier to see Amaterasu.]

Pretty impressive, ne?

[Amaterasu barks a couple times and pushes the wheelchair forward. Hughes starts laughing really excitedly and jokes between his laughter.]

Don't mind us! Just out for a stroll!

[Bakura laughs from behind the communicator and follows after as they move along. After a few more seconds, Hughes turns and waves his arm at Bakura for the communicator. He chuckles as he speaks.]

Okay, okay, that's enough of that. I think we all can see how talented Ammy here is now.

[He grins at Amaterasu. The camera shakes a little before the video feed is cut off. There is a text note beneath the video.]



Whoops.
Sorry! I was so distracted after that I forgot to post it up on the network yesterday. Thanks so much for helping me out, Bakura and Ammy!

[It seems the video was recorded some time in the afternoon the day before.]

Comments

[motherofthesun]

[No shame in having that video posted for everyone to see]

You're welcome, Hughes.

[comradery]

I'll make you dinner some time to repay you!

[glassworkgenius]

It's Amaterasu! She's such a good wolf! [This kid really liked her from the short time he was with her during the tour so he can't help but comment.]

[His smile fades a bit with what he says next.]

... But hey, are you okay mister? Those bandages look like they're for something serious...

{ audio }

[comradery]

Hahaha! Yes, she is!

[He chuckles faintly.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry too much about it. I'll be better in no time! Thanks for the concern though.

[Video]

[spandexisyouth]

Oh! You were the one that arrived injured? I am glad to see that you are doing better if that was you!

{ audio }

[comradery]

Yeah, that was me. [He laughs sheepishly.] Sorry about that. It kind of just happened, y'know? I hope I didn't freak anyone out or anything.

Thank you! Yes! I am feeling much better! [Although anything is better than being dead, really.] It's a great day to be alive! Though, I am a bit concerned... The sun is making this strange face, and I'm not sure what to make of that. Is that normal>

[video]

[wildest]

[Not only can that wolf speak but it can push around an injured person in a wheelchair?

...he's never felt so trumped by an animal (actually a goddess but, still an animal. He has no idea which gives a lighter blow to his ego) in his life.]

And she doesn't even have thumbs. Geez...

{ audio }

[comradery]

I know, right? Surprised me, too! She's pretty strong though. Ammy carried me all the way to the clinic on her back, haha.

[not here]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[What

the

hell

did he just see?


There's his name under there. Why is there his name under there??

He switches the feed off without any further comment.

Then he twitches. Once. A little.]

[not here]

[thewarisover]

[And then life got Interesting again.

Welcome back to Death City, dead best friend.






OTL]

[video]

[thewarisover]

Hughes.

[Yeah, we're totally calm.]

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

It was no trouble!

{ audio }

[comradery]

Hahaha! Remind me to repay you! It doesn't matter if it was no trouble, I treally appreciated it!

By the way, I finished that game, y'know? Pokemon or whatever? It's pretty fun, but it's kind of short. I finished doing everything there was to do in it earlier.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Well, I can't say I'm really surprised that this is what Bakura does in his off-time.

Who are you?

{ audio }

[comradery]

Hahaha!

You know, it's common coutesy to introduce yourself before asking people to do the same. Anyhow, the name's Hughes! It's nice to meet you Mr...?

[Not Here]

[topgun_textiles]

[Man... thanks for this. This kind of made his day.]

{ not here }

[comradery]

[No problem at all! It is Hughes' job to spread joy to everyone around him, even if he has no clue who they are.]

[Audio]

[willnotdespair]

[ Mithos was a little amazed at what Ammy did. Noishe back home probably couldn't do the same. For one he would probably cause the chair to flip or something. ]

... The dog-like creature is pretty talented.

[ He says this sort of absent-minded. Don't mind him he sort of just woke up and didn't get much sleep last night ]

{ audio }

[comradery]

Isn't she? She's adorable, too!

Hehe, someone sounds tired. I'm Hughes! What's your name?

video

[pathofstrength]

[…CUTE CUTE CUTE]

It's that big white dog! Aaaah, it's like she's takin' ya fer a walk!

[CUTE]

{ audio }

[comradery]

Right!? I think it's absolutely adorable! Hahaha!

[Video]

[betterintherain]

[Oh...this is unexpected. Fortunately, she takes the time to get rid of her surprise before she actually answers.]

I see the Colonel has already contacted you. Welcome to Death City, Hughes.

{ audio }

[comradery]

Oh! Lieutenant Hawkeye! It's good to see you here too! You've been taking care of the big doofus that is Roy, haven't you? You know how he forgets to do that stuff some times, haha. If he ever doesn't listen, just let me know. I'll smack some sense into him, heheh.

Thanks! Though I'm not sure I really want to be here. Getting here wasn't exactly the best of experiences, but I'm doing okay despite it. How long have you been here?

video

[tabasco]

She's really cute, isn't she!

[gosh, mitsuba has a soft spot for that pretty white dog]

{ audio }

[comradery]

Yes! She is! An absolute darling!

I'm Hughes. What's your name?

[video]

[blossomgale]

[ Sophie has been feeling pretty down since arriving, but watching this manages to bring a smile to her face. She giggles and waves back at the feed, mostly because Amaterasu waved too. ]

Ohhh... that dog is really talented.

[ Then she tilts her head, staring at the wheelchair. Sorry, she's... never really seen those before. ]

Why are you on a chair with wheels?

{ audio }

[comradery]

[Hughes laughs heartily, finding the wave quite adorable.]

Yep! She's actually a wolf, but she's super talented! She can do a lot of things aside from just that, haha!

Oh! That's because I couldn't really walk. Since I still needed to get places though, I used that chair with wheels so that I could get moved around without having to be carried. It's pretty neat, actually! Really fun to play with, haha. My name's Hughes, by the way. What's yours?

[Video]

[toukakoukan]

[Ed stops when he sees this post, feeling cold all over. There's been plenty of talk of the dead people coming back to live in this city, but without any proof of it from someone he knows, he hasn't really believed it. Of all the truths, one cannot bring back the dead, this much he knows.

And now it's all crashing down.]

Lieutenant Colonel Hughes... [His voice is strained like it's hard to get the words out.] It's impossible...

{ video }

[comradery]

[Hughes looks concerned. He is a bit disturbed by what Ed says since it seems to confirm some of his initial suspicions about his arrival, but he does not ask.]

Fullmetal? You're here too? Oh, hey, you okay there? You're not looking so hot...

[video]

[range]

...Ah yeah, she's an impressive little pooch, ain't she?

{ audio }

[comradery]

Yep! Very talented!

I'm Hughes. What's your name?

Video

[nofarplaneyet]

*blinks*

Nice nurse you have there. You just arrive?

{ audio }

[comradery]

Hahaha! I've been here for a couple days now, but yeah, more or less.

The name's Hughes. What's yours?
