[The network was spammed with a flood of messages in the span of a few minutes. Instead of posting each separately, it compiles them into a single post since there are so many. Each block is a separate message.

He posts all of them publicly since there is nothing remotely private about them. They're all addressed to Roy though. Who cares about saving Roy's face? It's not like Roy's in charge of a bunch of people, right?]

Roooooooooooooooooy, I'm BORED. Hey, you should come over.

Roy. Roy. Hey, Roy. I'll bet you'll never guess what Elicia did a few nights ago. It was the most adorable thing ever! I had just got home, and I was really tired bu— [The video cuts off suddenly.]

ROY, MY APARTMENT'S ON FIRE. [He looks frantic, but there is no evidence of a fire in the background behind him.]

Hey, stop working and get your ass over here, Mustang. I'm dying of boredom, over here!

There's nothing to do, Roy. You should come over and share some of that paperwork with me! And by share, I mean, give it to me and don't do any of it at all.

Hey, didja' know that Falman has impeccable memory? I tried moving the chess pieces once when he wasn't looking, and he figured it out as soon as he looked at the board again. Yeesh! How about we play a round, Roy?

Roy, have you ever seen a toilet paper roll be flushed down the toilet? Not the whole thing, but if you pull the paper over from the holder, put it in the water, and then flush it? It's pretty funny. It's probably a waste of paper though.

...okay, so I ran out of toilet paper. That wasn't a really good idea. Roy, could you get some toilet paper for me? I'm out. Please? Pleeeease? [In the background, anyone can see that he still has toilet paper though...]

Seriously, Roy, you should stop working and come over here. Don't leave me hanging!

Alright. You know what? Since you probably think my place is complete boring, and there's no reason to come by, how about I show you something you can't resist?
[The video moves and focuses in on Amaterasu, who's sleeping on Hughes' bed. After a few seconds, it shifts back to Hughes, who is smirking.]
What was that? I couldn't hear what you said over your sheer jealousy.

[Sheena finally got her communicator to work, only to see this....She couldn't help chuckling, a smile forming when she saw Ammy in the background.]

That's one way to fight boredom. Is this someone you knew before you came here?

[She's met several of her own friends here, so why not?]

Yeah. He's my good friend, hehe.

What's your name? I'm Hughes.

I'm Sheena. Sheena Fujibayashi.

Nice to meet you, Hughes.

Sheena, huh? That's a pretty name. Nice to meet you too, Sheena!

[Should have gone with "Voice", since she's now blushing... Damn her and not being able to take a compliment...]

Th-Thanks.

[Pauses.]

So, did your friend ever come over?

Oh! You're quite adorable too! And really pretty!

Yeah, he says he'll come over in a bit, hehe. Payed off, I'd say. Thanks for asking! You're very sweet.

[Aaaaannnndddd the blush deepens.]

You're welcome and thanks... [She wonders if he acts like this all the time. If so, he seems like he'd be a lot of fun to be around.]

I saw Ammy in one of your feeds, and I had promised to cook something for her. You're more than welcome to join, but if your friend is showing up, I wouldn't want to impose on that.

[He always is, but it is not like anyone who just met him would really know.]

Yeah? Oh! You saw the one about the wheelchair! Isn't she talented? Hehe.

Thank you very much for the offer, but he's going to stop by with some food I think. I'll have to take you up on that some other time though, if that's all right.

[Smiling, she shakes her head. After her talk with Ammy, and her own experiences, she wouldn't doubt the wolf could do whatever she sets her mind to.]

No problem! I like to cook--especially Curry.

Oh, you do? Me too! Curry, huh? I've only had that a few times, but it's pretty good.

I make it with pineapple--a little sweetness to counter the spicy. What do you like to cook?

Ooh! That sounds delicious!

Me? I don't really have a specific preference, but I cook pasta a lot. I also do stir-fry sometimes.

Oh. I cook Ramen, too. And some stir-fry. [Pauses as she thinks.] Ummmm...Are you from Tethe'alla or Sylvarant?

[Identical foods? Has to be from the same planet. But, then again, Ammy didn't seem to be from her homeworld...]

Ramen? I've never head of that before. What's that?

Uh... I'm not from either of those places, hahaha. I'm from a place called Amestris.

It's a type of pasta dish. Hmmm... You know, I can't help wondering about the similar foods we have.

[Chuckles.]

At least I won't have trouble learning the foods of this planet.....I hope.

I am a bit too. Food is universal!

Heh. I'm sure you'll be fine. I've been seeing stuff that I recognize, so it will probably be the same for you.

I was going to see about joining that group that protects the city, but maybe I'll look for a job in a restaurant instead.

It would be the quickest way to learn the dishes.

Hm. If you like cooking more, then you should do that. You would enjoy it a lot better, hahaha. Don't feel like you have to protect the city just because everyone else is. You should choose something that makes you happy.

[Smiles softly.]

I made vows of protection back home, so it's nothing new to me--only the size is different.

Well, if that's what you'd rather do.

Personally, I think I'm going to sit out this time. Usually that's the kind of job I would go for, but... Things are a bit different here.

[She can't argue with that....]

Yeah, things are different from my home, too, but in the end, people are people and need protecting....

...And food...

[Laughs.]

Now I don't know which one to pick.

Hahaha, I hear you. It can be tough sometimes. Just don't stress over it too much and whichever one you should take will become clear soon enough.

Heh. There are more options open to me here than at home....

Is that why you're not doing what you used to do?

[An idea...]

Since you like to cook, maybe you can do that instead...

Mm... No, that's not really the reason. It's just that it's different here, even though the idea is the same.

That's not a bad idea, hehe. I'll consider it. I haven't actually thought about what I should try doing yet. Mostly, I've only decided what I know I don't really want to do.

Oh. It's not home. Is that what you're saying?

[Sheena's been trying to forget that part...]

That makes sense. Maybe Ammy can help you decide. Or your friend.
