[SO HOUSEMATES (Neku and Shiki, basically) might have noticed there is a new addition to the house. Namely there is a large-ish TV with a DVD player and a speaker or two in the main room. There is also a large-ish collection of Disney DVDs there. This means-]

Oi! Winry! C'mon over to my place today.

[...Hm. Something he's been wondering about lately comes to mind as soon as he finishes with that decidedly leading message which he may or may not get grief for being public. He drums his fingers before pressing with:]

...Y'know, without Rohan printing his manga here - or that paper from a long while back - there hasn't been much in the way of creativity from people in a written format. [He seems to recall someone else said something similar a few weeks ago. ...Oh well] Maybe the Brigade should hold some kinda contest for that... [...HMM.] Or I could- nah. Last time... [He gets a flashback to Senel punching him. This makes him shudder and then give up on that idea]

Well, whatever. Maybe a contest later on.

[Haruki actually notes Den in detail for much the first time while he's doing that. He doesn't say anything though. What's there to say? The dog might be biased against him too, after all.

...He'll win it over eventually]

Do you want anything while I'm in here?

Yeah, just pour me a glass of water or something! [But his eyes don't leave the dog. ...That automail makes him curious how that happened.]

Didn't give you trouble, did he?

Wha-? Nah. Nothing much. [He takes the glass though. Oh good, water]

All right, good.

So, automail leg on a dog? [He can't help it, he's curious. He takes a sip of the water]

Yeah, he got into an accident when he was about a year an a half old.

S'fortunate you guys can manage things like that then. [He sips his water here, considering. Do people do that to their dogs back home...? He's not sure]

Mm, I think it's a fair enough trade up for air travel.

...Eh? What, you wanna go fly or something?

Flying would be cool, and after borrowing that book on jet engines from Donatello I have to admit I was jealous, but after some thought I've concluded that I wouldn't give up automail in my world for it. So if I never get to fly, I think I'll be fine.

It's not like it's an alternative root or anything, right? No reason you guys couldn't develop at like a propeller plane.

I'm sure flight is probably just around the corner for us, but what I'm saying is I don't mind the delay. Or, even if it doesn't happen, I'll be okay with that.

Huh. Well, if you say so. [He sighs and leans back on the couch, his head looking up at the ceiling for a moment] I would.

And why is that?

Well, you know... [He sighs, staring at the ceiling some more after adjusting that he feels more comfortable with his wings] Someday people are going to live on the moon, right? It's inevitable; people have already landed on it, people are studying it... and for how many people are on it, Earth is just too small. So someday, for sure, people will be there. And when I think about that, I know it would be so cool. But that someday... will I see it? I dunno.

But I want to.

...People have landed on the moon?

Yeah? Like- [And here he jerks his head over to look at her] almost forty something years ago, now.

That's - wow.

I really didn't tell you thinks like that before now? Jeez. Yeah, the moon, ages ago now.

Was there anything interesting on the moon?

Rocks. Any aliens which might have been there went into hiding a long time ago, so no one's found them yet. [He sounds annoyed that this before he thinks of what might be of interest to her-] Oh! The gravity's lower there.

Really? That's so interesting! How low?

Uh, I think it was... an eighth of Earth's, more or less? So you're eight times lighter there.
