[ listen, he got drunk and decided to experimentally text Ed a string of sexually harassing emojis similar to his antics on Zhautas. For science. He wants to know if this is the same Edward Elric. He has to know. ]

[waxwings]

For the last time, fuck off with that. What is it supposed to even mean?

[Ed picked up the meaning of the eggplant back on Zhautas but he'd never had an interest in learning emoji lingo. Garrett, on the other hand, came from a world even further behind on technology than Ed's, giving him the impression that if Garrett knows enough to be sending him lewd texts it's because they're previously acquainted.

Unfortunately, Ed is also dealing with the mysterious disappearance of one Hawkeye, meaning he's not putting together what Garrett recognizing him actually means in the grand scheme of multiverse bullshit beyond that.]

[defaulthawke]

the usual idea of putting body parts inside each other. what else?

[waxwings]

I could figure out the first half, thanks.

You know I don't bother with that crap so why bother?

[That goes for sexting and bothering to learn the meaning of emojis.]

[defaulthawke]

Now I know that you know me.

[Sometime after this.]

You never answered my questions.

[waxwings]

Everything else seemed to take priority at the time.

[You know, in case the kid forgot. All of the everything he's been dealing with since he got there.]

[milkisgross]

Yeah it did. But not now. So what the hell were you saying about homunculi being created from people trying to resurrect someone where you're from? I was pretty damned sure I proved that wasn't possible.

[waxwings]

How'd you prove that?

[He's not trying to dodge the question, the idea that this kid proved something impossible that wasn't about his world was just too much for him to ignore. He'll come back around to the kid's question after.]

[milkisgross]

[He'd better start explaining after this. Edward sounds annoyed.]

I dug up the remains of the thing Al and I transmuted. I'm not sure why but it didn't have any of the physical qualities mom had. Teacher had the same result with her attempt. The characteristics of what she transmuted wouldn't have matched any child she could have had.

Now answer my question.

[milkisgross]

[A few days after this.]

Hey.

[waxwings]

[Some time passes before he bothers to answer like maybe he was busy or simply avoiding the message all together for a bit.]

Yeah?

[milkisgross]

[Holy shit he actually answered. It takes a little while for the teen to reply as he tries to find his words.]

Have you been holding up okay?

[He knows the answer to that, but didn't know a better way of opening up the conversation.]

[waxwings]

[Suspicious. He's torn between curious what the kid actually wants and not wanting to deal with whatever this was leading up to.]

Fine

[Thanks for asking, go away.]

Text - backdated to shortly after the end of the hospital stay

[failed_antichrist]

Steve's back from that creepy hospital. Please tell me you and the other Ed are okay? Were you there? If you're still in there, I'll go get you.

[waxwings]

A friend got me out. If the kid's not back yet he's still on the island.

[failed_antichrist]

island? what island?

at least you're out. are you okay, though?

[waxwings]

Torture Island. Where Lucifer takes guests for special attention for a few weeks.

[If this wasn’t text, Setsuna would hear the venom in that tone. Ed’s been nursing a rage over Torture Island practically since his arrival.

Naive of him to think Edward Elric would be honest answering that next question.]

I’m fine. What about you and Steve?

during VO hitlists

[thevelmster]

People who drank at the church last month have been given initiation tasks against other sinners. Specifically, people they care about.

Do you know anyone who went?

[waxwings]

No one has said anything to me about it. Must have been when I was at the hospital. Anything specific I should look for?

Are you somewhere safe?

[thevelmster]

I think you were, actually. Adam's list had some abhorrent tasks to do to me. Including physical violence and non consensual sex.

So, I don't think there are limitations on the tasks.

I am safe enough, I think.

[waxwings]

is there any occult compulsion that you're aware of? I can't imagine many people who would willingly harm someone they care about, even here.

Mr. Elric.
I found a space for the clinic if you'd like to come by and see it.
Perhaps you could offer some advice or assistance?

[waxwings]

Sounds good, where are you setting up? I can check that it's structurally sound unless you have that covered. Fixing anything up shouldn't be a problem as long as we can get the materials needed.

[decaf]

It's right on the edge of the suburbs.
Let me send where it is on the map.

[It takes him a moment, since his screen is still broken, but soon Ed receives an image with a pin dropped in it to show location.]

It's two stories.
Persephone and I explored for a short time, but I'm unsure about the integrity of the structure.
I appreciate any assistance you offer.
I'm hoping to at least build a greenhouse to house medicinal herbs.
