[Envy is upstairs when he sees this post go up on the network.]

[Did he know that the resident circus strongman gave a single solitary damn about Wrath? NO. HE DID NOT.]

[...there's only one person in the house who might be enough of a goody-two-shoes to blow their cover. Envy leaps out of the bed and takes the stairs down three at a time. THERE MIGHT NOT BE MUCH TIME. He sees Al on the couch and SLAMS his hands down on the back of it right behind him, hissing out in case he's on the line with someone.]

Don't tell them anything!

[armoredsoul]

[Al had seen that post go up as well, and even had it open on the Gear. He does, however, has the goddamn sense of mind to not blurt about a crime in progress on the network just because someone asked about it, and so is just watching the replies start to roll in with a worried expression.]

[At least until Envy descends on the couch like some freakish monster and HISSES RIGHT IN HIS EAR WHAT THE FUCK. Al shrieks and the Gear goes flying across the room as he leaps up and swats at Envy blindly.} What the hell?!

[exeggutorhead]

[Normally, Envy would fall all over himself laughing at Al's reaction. But right now he has other concerns.]

[He swats right back at Al, though. Don't you smack him! Can't you hear the dramatic Fullmetal Alchemist background music? BWONGnehnehnehneeeeh. This is important!]

Don't respond to that thing that just went up!

[BWONGnehnehnehnehNEEEH]

[armoredsoul]

[Pretty sure it's the Ridiculous Shenanigans tune going on, Envy, but sure, you keep thinking that.]

[Also WOW RUDE, ENVY.] I wasn't going to! I'm not an idiot, you know!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy looks so very, very disbelieving as he puts his hands on his hips for emphasis and rolls his eyes like Al's the unreasonable one and Envy didn't just panic and scramble down the stairs.]

You could've fooled me. You're some straight-laced...marshmallow fluff, for all I knew you would've felt bad and caved and told them everything!

[armoredsoul]

--did you just call me a marshmallow?!

[envy are you even TRYING]

Of course I feel bad about this, but it's not going to do any good if Wrath is taken away now!

[exeggutorhead]

Yeah, I did! You're sure not a hardened criminal.

[Only Envy could make 'not a hardened criminal' sound like an insult. HE WILL OWN THAT MARSHMALLOW COMMENT, THANK YOU.]

Exactly! And that Ralph guy can't find out. Have you ever seen him in person? His ARMS are bigger than ME.

[armoredsoul]

[Al roooooooolls his eyes and sighs.] Of course I'm not, I'm normal.

[Compared to Envy, at least.]

Oh come on, that's impossible. Even the Major isn't that big!

[exeggutorhead]

Hey, I see him all the time, I know what I'm talking about! He works at the circus.

He lifts Charizards for fun.

[armoredsoul]

Envy, come on. I'm already taking this seriously, you don't have to come up with stuff like that.
