Re: Melting in the heat

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

Yuan tilted his head to look down at the rat. she chattered something. "Jun says that you ar probably smart enough to get an airplane working, that you smell good and that she likes your hair."

[Guest]

Tobi chuckled. "It's luscious," He commented, just to be nasty, "I dated a girl with hair just like that once. Which further proves my point that you're either a cross dresser or a transvestite..." He smirked.

[Alaric]

"Why thank you, Jun," Alexander said with a smile before turning and giving an extremely dark look to his colleague, "Hey! At least I have proper hygeine skills! And no! I'm not a cross-dresser, a transvestite or a girl!!! It's my fault I like long hair! It's like a family tradition, ya know!? The guys in our family have long hair, it's just natural!! At least I know what a bath is, you reak of sweat and..." The boy then sniffed at the air and pulled a face of disgust, "Is that sour milk? Gross!"

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"Wow, you guys are just plain bad. You argue more than siblings." Yuan practiculy sighed.

[Guest]

Tobi sniffed the air. "Huh. So that's where my milk jug went! I thought I already drank it. Thanks, Al!" He pulled a milk jug, the obvious source of the stench, and took a swig. He licked his lips. "Mmmm. It always tastes better when it's been out a while, y'know? More flavorful. Oh, by the way, I do shower. It's just the desert."

[Alaric]

Alexander almost lost his lunch right there and then as he leapt back when he saw Tobi drink the slightly off milk. Gross!!
"As far as I know, the only family I have is a crazy cousin in Resembool, but I'm sure as hell am glad that I'm not related to YOU!" Alexander yelled out as he pointed a finger at Mustang to emphasize the point, before groaning, "And by the way, Mustang, don't compare me with your ex-girlfriends, I'm nothing like those street whores you take in. I am walking, talking awesome in a human body!!!"
...Well, shit. He just pulled the Mustang-miniskirt-pose again...

[Guest]

Tobi quieted a bit at the mention of family. "Believe me," He muttered, "You have no idea how glad you really are that you aren't related to me." Blinking to recover his cocky attitude, he smirked. "Gee, Toeblade, I don't think half the girls I dated were as trashy as you. At least none of them were all up on me in public. They waited until we got to my apartment." He chuckled.

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"You guys have anything else to say than bad insults? Because if I wnated to hear people poorly insulting each other, I'd be home in Xing listening to my adoptive little siblings." Yuan said boredly, speaking of the family that 'adopted' him.

[Guest]

Tobi shrugged. "Personally, I thought my insults were pretty good. But, you're right. We'll all have heatstrokes if we don't calm down.

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"Correction, you will. I'm fine with heat." Yuan grinned and stuck his tongue out at them in a very childish way, making him look as serious as a five year old.

[Guest]

"Well, I'm about to collapse! Ice and heat don't mix well together. Also, milk was a bad choice."

[Alaric]

"And you say I'm childish, geez, Yuan you're a hypocrite." Alexander said in a matter-of-factly way before growling at Mustang again, "FYI, jackass, I was not 'all over you' in public, I don't even like you as a friend! Why would I want anything more?!"

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"Yes, but I'm only childish when I want to be." he grinned, the poker face slowly melting away, forgotten.

[Guest]

Tobi shrugged. "Only you have the answer to that, my friend," He said with a smirk.

[Alaric]

Alexander hit his own face with his palm as he cast Tobi an annoyed look as he pulled his hand away back. He was about to bark another insult until he felt that familiar sensation he got when something on his person healed and he looked down at his hand to show the blood practically taking over the palm area of his white glove. He was about to hit his face again, but stopped himself incase he broke his nose again, since it was still tingling from the fracture healing itself. Thankfully there were no obvious scars, so it would look just like a normal nosebleed, though Alexander's eye had a habit of twitching when something on his person healed. It was that tingly sensation, it was weird.
The boy scowled at the glove as he used his teeth to pull off the bloodied glove and flexed his automail hand once the fabric was off of it. It was quite a nuisance, these metallic hands, it meant. He spat out a small lot of blood onto the sand and used the glove to wipe away any blood on his face, but scowled again when he noticed that some blood came from his lip.
"Stupid automail!! Fucking busted my face! Shit!" Alexander cursed under his breath as he felt that tingly sensation on his lip as the split finally got around to healing itself. That meant the nose has finished healing, since his body could only heal one thing at a time, and it usually healed the more serious injuries first. He hoped Mustang didn't see the busted lip at any stage, otherwise he'd be in for a lot of explaining, and that jerk didn't deserve to know his secret.
Once he was sure all of the blood was off of his face, he held up the glove again to reveal it was practically half-soaked in blood, making the homunculus frown at it before he threw it away, far away, so his acidic blood could eat the glove OUT of Mustang's site.
That's right, the difference between the blood of a homunculus and the blood of a human is that the red blood of a homunculus was acidic, and though the process took a while -about half an hour to completely eat through cloth-, it was still much more acidic than normal blood, of which just stained cloth and couldn't eat through it. He studied it once, and it came up to a pH of 2.56, it was kinda creepy, actually, and human blood only came up to a pH of 7.3, which meant after half an hour, it would be clear he'd be a homunculus if someone studied the blood, and since alchemist's were scientists -meaning Mustang was a scientist-, it would be a bad idea if he got his hands on some of Alexander's blood. It couldn't eat through flesh, but after an hour it could make a light burn on the skin. Ouch.
"Well, sorry about that." Alexander apologized to Yuan with a guilty-ish look on his face before turning to Tobi and doing the same thing, "Sometimes I just don't know the strength of the automail, it was just a nose-bleed, nothing serious."
'Nothing serious my ass, Al, you broke your own damned nose in carelessness!! Be thankful you're a homunculus!!' His mind yelled at him as he muttered a quiet 'shut up' at it and sighed. He had to admit being this stupid fake came in handy sometimes.

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"No problems if it was just a nose bleed." Yuan said mildly. Jun crawled from his pants leg to the bottom of his shirt and pulled herself underneath the cloth. Trying to annoy Yuan to the best of ehr ability, she garbbed the chain looped twice around his waist, hidden by his shirt, and let herself drop. Yuan yelped, feeling the heavy chain the sat below his ribs but above his hip bones dig into his flesh. He made a grab for the rat, but it was hard when she had tucked herself under his shirt.
"Damn it." he cursed. It wasn't so much that he was hurt as the irregular waight caused his stomach to ache, naseau to sweep over him and his head to spi. The rat was slowly cutting off his circulation. "Owww." he moaned, turning quickly away from Tobi and Alex, he vomited violently onto the sand.
Jun, knowing she had thuroughly annoyed Yuan, dropped from the chain and scurried to the safety that was hiding behind Alex.
Yuan vomited again before righting the chain carefully. "Yes she does that often." he said,fighting the gagging, wrenching of his stomach.

[Alaric]

Alexander blinked in confusion before kneeling down and placing his visible automail hand out in front of Jun for her to climb up onto his shoulder if she wanted to, before turning his head to Jun with a look saying 'sorry'.
"I hope you didn't through up too much, after all, that isn't a good thing whilst in the desert, it's better if humans keep all of their food and water inside them, other wise humans will die of dehydration, it's a known fact. I did some research before coming out into the desert, you know."

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

Jun squeaked and gratefully climbed up Alexander's arm, perching on his shoulder. "I think I'll be okay." Yuan coughed, whiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "I'll just taste bile for a while."

[Alaric]

Alexander stood up and smiled kindly at Jun before chuckling at his new-found companion's comment.
"That'll suck, drink some water, it'll get some of the taste out."

[Guest]

Tobi raised an eyebrow. "Well, the two of you are awfully accident prone," He muttered with a sigh. He glanced in the direction where Al had thrown the glove, but made no move to go after it. "Oh," He said, looking at Yuan, "I brought a sandwich, if you need it."

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"I think I'll be okay." Yuan pulled s bottle of something out of the canvas bad he carried with him. He took a long sip before putting the bottle away. A trickle of red dripped from the side of his mouth. he wiped it away quickly. "And Jun tries to kill me on a regular basis." he added. jun squeaked something indignantly. "You do to!"

[Guest]

"...What are you drinking?" Tobi asked curiously.

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"Wine. It stays kind of cold and it can't go bad." yuan answered camly, as if it was normal for a seventeen year old to drink wine willy-nilly. Of course, in Xing they had age limits for drinking and only royalty could get away with it.

[Guest]

Tobi grinned. "Just don't drunk on us."

[Yuan Yao/ Greed]

"I have a high tolerance for the stuff, sadly." Yuan said with a light laugh.
