That's right... the code...

Hey, anybody listening out there- [It goes quiet abruptly as Edward examines the journal to make sure it's working.] ...hm. My name is Edward Elric, and I'm an alchemist. Where I'm from, alchemists follow a certain code: "Alchemists live for the public." It means that our abilities are meant to be used for ordinary people without bias.

I don't know how long I'm going to be stuck here, but while I'm in Luceti, you all are the public. So if you ever need anything fixed, or made, or altered, leave a note at the library, I go there a lot. You can use the journal, too, but I can't promise that I'll see it. When I'm in town I'll take care of the requests.

..Guess that's it then.

[And then, added to the entry a little while later, his voice somewhat quiet:]

...If anybody met a guy named Ling - or Greed - while they were here... looks like they've gone back.

[Edward can be found out and about today, wandering the village and looking somewhat lost in thought. He'll spend some time at the library, a bit at the house, and then he'll be digging around in the community buildings- at first building 3, then a couple others just in case.]

[ooc: If anybody ever needs to make use of Ed's alchemy beyond this entry, just drop by his appointments post, either to thread it out there or to direct me to a post where he might be called over.]

[As long as he mentions it is not that of Tony Stark...]

Thank you, sir. Won't be a problem. [... Might as well confess it now.] I'll need later a mod for the wings. It's uncomfortable having them inside the armor.

[More specifically, beneath the inner skinsuit. If the wings could have a separate section inside her armor for themselves, the better it would be.]

Chief Petty Officer Daisy SPARTAN-023. UNSC.

[They have mutual dislike of that guy anyway. And Edward doesn't recognize that rank, but that "petty" totally makes it sound like it's below major, and wouldn't that be a lovely thing, outranking someone so huge. Mwaha. (Not that he's really in the military right now anyway, but details, details.]

Got it- and I'm Edward Elric, State Alchemist. [He'd said it in the entry, but it's better to introduce yourself in person anyway. He starts to offer out a hand, but hers is... well, she's huge...

...well, at least she can't crush the automail hand. Probably. Hopefully.]

[Spartans know how to control their strength even inside their suits. While prior to Luceti few wanted to shake hands with a Spartan, it is still a delicate motion they can do.]

A pleasure, sir. And thank you.

[To a lot of people's fortune, she's a Non-Commissioned Officer, so yes, she's outranked by Commissioned Officers -Lieutenants, Captains, Majors...-.]

[He's pleasantly surprised by her control, actually. Even people who have ridiculous sizes without the robo suits tend to squish him. It puts him slightly more at ease, anyway.]

I'll think about the wing problem. Are there important mechanics in the back panel that I'd have to work around?

Exhaust mechanisms, a fusion reactor, on-board computers, other layers... [The list could go on.] I don't want them out. I just want them to be comfortable when inside the suit.

[After all, the armor was protecting the most exposed and delicate part of her body. As uncomfortable as it may be right now.]

I can tell you later about it, sir.

Yeah, sure. Whenever you want, it's your suit.

Understood, sir. [She nods.] Be well. See you in a few days.

You don't have to call me sir. [He waves her off anyway, though, since she seems to be on her way. He has stuff to do in the library anyway.]
