Re: Slacking off. How have I not been fired?

"Oh well, then I guess it's up to me to teach you. Can you say the alphabet?" Al asked as his lip twitched while he tried to keep from laughing. This was just too funny.

by Guest Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:55 am

Tobi sighed. "Of course I can. I'm not a complete idiot, Al, I taught myself a few things. Me and my sister used to...." His voice trailed off and he wrinkled his forehead. "Anyway," He said, changing the subject, "Do I need to say the alphabet for me or can you just take my word for it?"

"Bleh, I was just testing you -after all you can't be completely stupid if you're a colonel- But... can you do basic math? Like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division? I managed to do it by I was 7, so my original did, but hey, we're Elrics, we're born with brains."

by Guest Wed Mar 10, 2010 12:04 pm

"I know some math. Mostly the basics...I guess I'm pretty good at Science. And while you may have brains, I have humor, which can get me through any situation.Where do your brains get you?" Tobi was very competitive.

by **Alaric** Wed Mar 10, 2010 12:07 pm

"They get me to be a colonel when I'm literally only 6 years old -I'd be 15 if I were my original-, not to mention in the Fuhrer favour, able to trick Father into thinking I'm with him when I'm not and blah, blah, blah. Brains = good, humor to you = annoying." He said as he poked Mustang's forehead, "Ok, do you know your history?"

by Guest Wed Mar 10, 2010 12:17 pm

"It was a rhetorical question, Toeblade, I didn't ask for your life's story." Tobi sighed. "History? What's the point of it?"

by **Alaric** Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:34 pm

"Er, so you know what the hell has happened to the country. Also, I didn't give you my life story, it's a lot more depressing, trust me. I'm an Elric, of course it's depressing." Envy said with a smirk before grinning, "Ok, who was the Fuhrer of Amestris 100 years ago?"

by Guest Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:42 pm

Tobi wrinkled his eyebrows. His father had taught him this, at least. "I'uno, Bradley?"

by **Alaric** Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:46 pm

"Ok, who was the youngest to ever become a state alchemist? -I became a state alchemist at 13, so it's not me-"

by Guest Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:55 pm

"Uh...." Tobi blinked. "Edward Elric, right?"

by **Alaric** Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:21 am

"Yup, which direction is Drachma?"

by Guest Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:35 am

"That's not history!" Tobi groaned, rolling his eyes.

by **Alaric** Thu Mar 11, 2010 3:29 pm

"Uh, fine then, what happened at Briggs 100 years ago?"

by Guest Thu Mar 11, 2010 11:03 pm

Tobi shrugged. "I don't know anything about Briggs!"

by **Alaric** Fri Mar 12, 2010 7:25 am

"See, you're hopeless." Al concluded with a grin, "The Drachmans came at the Briggs fortress and tried to over throw it, but they all got massacred by Kimblee."

by Guest Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:46 am

Tobi chuckled. "Isn't history oh so very pleasant?"

by **Alaric** Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:17 pm

"No, it's boring." Al said with a groan as he seated himself backwards on one of the seats in Tobi's office, "After all, who cares about the past? Not me. I'd only care if I could go back to it."

by Guest Sat Mar 13, 2010 8:56 am

Tobi nodded. "I wouldn't want to go back that far, though," He said with a sigh.

by **Alaric** Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:21 pm

"I would, I wanna meet My great grandpa's famous big brother and the original Envy, that would be awesome~! Maybe Roy Mustang too."

by Guest Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:09 am

Tobi smiled. "Yeah, I'd like to meet Great-Grandad when he was in his younger days. I only met him once or twice and he was way old."

by **Alaric** Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:18 am

"Same with Great Granddad, he died three years before my original died of cancer, I think. It's the same thing Great Great Granny Trisha had." Envy said with a shrug, "Then my parents went all Elric-style impulsive and they died and brought me back, I think you know the story from there."

by Guest Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:20 am

Tobi nodded slightly. "Yeah," He muttered. "You're parents must have really loved you to try to bring you back," He said quietly.

by **Alaric** Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:26 am

"Hm, well as far as I can recall my mother did, but my dad didn't really show until about a year before my 'death', so to speak." Al said with a faint smile, before patting his legs, "After the transmutation, I got my sister's legs and she grew to detest me so much she revealed my weakness to the enemy and got herself killed not too long ago. Probably two months now?"

by Guest Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:29 am

Tobi looked down at his feet. "Oh," He said quietly. "I'm sorry." He was quiet for a while, completely opposite of his normally obnoxious personality.

by **Alaric** Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:34 am

"Ne, I've gotten over it. I'm sure she's living happily with her REAL brother right now, suffering the black tentacles of the Truth, raping their souls of their precious virginity..." He shuddered at the thought, "And this is why homunculi are scare of the gate..."
