[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.

Something like that.

I think he knows it; he just doesn't want to accept it. He's an idealist, so if possible, he wants to save everyone. To some extent, I want to believe in his idealism too, but obvious the reality is not the same as what we merely hope for.

Hahaha, yeah. They do. King's aren't good at handling that very well either.

Clearly he's picked the wrong occupation to save everyone. Sacrifices must be made, but... that's no matter. Our sacrifice is in the hands of Shibusen right now.

Depends on the King.

It's not a bad ideal to have. Given the proper opportunity, making sure such sacrifices don't have to be made is possible. Certainly not likely, but it's definitely possible. But you're right; even if we're helping them, this is their war proper and not ours.

Heh. Rooks tend to be very useful though. Regardless of which King, I don't think it's that easy adjusting to losing such a powerful ally, even just for tactical reasons.

Hmpt, some of us have been made sacrifices all too many times that it's hard to have faith in any war.

[She's silent to contemplate this for a time.] You're correct. Allies are the reason that things can continue. No doubt he'll be overjoyed to have you back as his ally. People from your world will take over the Watch soon enough, no doubt.

Heh. It wasn't like we weren't either, but... It would still be nice to see a war where no one is easily able to be sacrificed. Even if the odds are against it.

That's what I'm hoping for.
Hahaha. Honestly, I have no intention of joining the Watch. Not yet, anyway, so you don't have to worry about that. I tend to aid him in less obvious ways.

I know a little of what you speak. Your world war was seemingly as difficult as mine was.

For now, but most come there to help anyway. I'll be keeping tabs on your progress of aid.

Wars have a tendency of being similar, I suppose.

Hahaha. Yeah, I've definitely picked up on that. The Watch seems to have a natural magnetism for most people. Being in such a flashy type of position isn't really my style though. I'd much rather stay in the shadows—like you.
I don't doubt that you won't, but if you ever need anything from me, feel free to let me know.

Perhaps, but it depends on what you are fighting.

There is few places with such direction, so those with skills tend to gravitate there. Well, perhaps we'll meet face-to-face in those shadows, maybe a dark back alley.

I suppose the same goes for you.

Hehehe. Maybe.

Right. I'll let you know, then. It was nice talking to you.
