[ #15 ] New Job

[handsforhealing]

It looks like I got a job as a waitress. Just in time for summer too. At least now I can stay busy. I know I can't be the only one though. Is anyone else working at the "Fast Food" place? It'd be nice if we all knew each other, just in case we need someone to cover a shift or something, right?

[ filtered away from Ed and Al ]
Oh, and hey, Envy~?
Wanna come over for a bit?
I promise, it'll be really quick, okay? ♥ I'll even bake a pie or something.
Be sure to ring the doorbell so I can (take aim and throw a wrench) let you in, okay? Thanks!

And that's why I'm talking to you! I can't help him if I'm left in the dark all of the time!

You know that's not what I'm talking about. You've got some sort of powers or something, right? Or had. And you've got to have some reason for picking on my friends.

You don't want to be left in the dark, huh? Alright. I'll shed some light, but don't blame me if it burns.

Why did I hurt them? Why did I make their lives miserable? I loved making humans miserable--making them hate themselves, hate others, hurt others, destroying the trust and faith they had in others. Nothing felt greater.

You want out of the dark? I, Envy, am the cruelest of all homunculi, the cruelest sin. I picked on them for the sake of picking on them.

...

Why would you lie about something like that? Why do you try to make yourself sound like such a terrible person?

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

Try? Try? I'm not trying. To humans, I AM terrible! There's no trying involved!

I'm the cruelest and worst of all your enemies!

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Well, I won't argue that you're not an entirely good person. .

But just now, you weren't terrible at all. I mean, you even offered to let me hit you for all of the stuff you did... You didn't seem that bad until you started talking about being bad.

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

...

I get it now--The thing between you and Beansprout. You're both the same.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

...

What's that supposed to mean?

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

You both sugarcoat everything, you're both impossible to control, and...

You both see right through me.

What's the point? After he saw through me, I've gotten soft--no, I'm broken. No need to be in denial anymore. You both are what I want to be and have the most and, because of that, are what I hate the most.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Come on. I'll stop pestering you. And I wasn't lying about the pie. You did come for that, didn't you?

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

...Actually, I came to not be suspicious because, like I said, I'm kind of trying to not give Beansprout reasons to beat the shit out of me.

But, sure.

There's one thing, though.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Hm? Yeah, what is it?

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

Don't stop thinking we're enemies--not for even a second.

You'll only get killed that way. Or worse.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I don't intend to. If Ed and Al say is true, you've done terrible things. I have no reason to forgive that.

But while we're here, we need to cooperate.

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

Cooperate, huh? With Pride here, that'll be easier said than done, toots.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

... Just eat for now. I've got more questions for later.

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. I'll eat. I swear you're scarier than Beansprout.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

... By the way. You're not a friend of Mr.Kimbley, are you?

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

I don't do the whole 'friend' thing, but even I hate his guts.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

So then those other homunculus Ed mentioned aren't your friends either?

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

Homunculi don't have friends. That group we're told to call 'family' is nothing to me.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

A family? Do you have brothers or sisters, or a mom or dad or something?

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

Brothers, a sister, and Father.

They're only that in name, though. There is no love amongst the homunculi. It's no family. I'm the only one that seems to know that.

...

Well, maybe Greed, too, but screw him.
