I tried to look for pineapples in the furnace.

And who had the misfortune of dealing with you then?

[markofthewise]

Master Souji pulled me out before I burned my scalp off.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

The oven was on? Really, what was wrong with you?

[markofthewise]

I'm not exactly sure. It was... weird. It was like I was running on some kind of weird logic.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'll say. You told me you could have been a flower. The only reason I didn't invite you out here is because I thought you'd be convinced you were part fish.

[markofthewise]

[He shrugs.]

It's no big deal. If you invited me, you would have had the whole gang out here too. [And while Winry might not mind that, it might have made the others uncomfortable.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I think that might have been a little much for this time. If we get enough people next time we should set up a volleyball net.

[markofthewise]

And maybe a nice big boat to sail in.

[His is nearly completion, after all.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh - you're making one right? A lot of people seem to be doing that. Maybe someone should make a dock.

[markofthewise]

I was going to get Toph to do that, maybe. She's got... well, she can pretty much stomp her foot and bam, instant dock.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh - Earthbender, right? That's impressive!

[markofthewise]

Exactly!

[Hmmm... although they're out there now and he considers...]

Unless Ed could do it. Isn't alchemy able to do pretty much anything?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I remember that they have to follow laws of equivalent exchange... and his range of how much energy he can use to convert things has been limited in Luceti I think.

[markofthewise]

Really? I always thought it was more impressive than that.

[It sounds kind of... limited in comparison.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's not all powerful. It can do a lot of things if someone has the knowledge, but... there are definitely some things it cannot do.

[markofthewise]

Knowledge and ability.

[He feels the need to clarify that. It's not like it's a power tool anyone can pick up.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

When you say it like that it sound like you have to be born an alchemist. It's not like that at all.

[markofthewise]

It's... what, really? [He blinks, surprised at this revelation.] So you could be an alchemist if you wanted?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I wanted, but I don't. Sure some people have more talent at it than others, but it's like being better at math or sports.

[markofthewise]

... I'm good at math. [... and decent at sports.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

If you want to know the specifics you'd have to ask Ed or Al, but there's a lot of scientific knowledge involved that I don't care to remember when they talk about it.

[markofthewise]

Al... yeah, about him. Why does he never take that armor off? I mean... it's a beach. You'd think he'd get hot.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's uh - a part of his training, I think. He's not allowed to take it off.

[markofthewise]

Wow. That's some really rough training. I'm not even sure how he manages that. It's not like he was that tall before...
