['Sup, Luceti, guess who's back? So missions totally suck, but at least he wasn't on the ocean this time. It was still snowy and wet and miserable in general, but hey, he can't complain too much. It beats being experimented on.

Still, it's not like it was a particularly troublesome or dangerous mission, so he'll be tromping and looking rather cranky to House 23.

And it only gets worse from there! Because Winry is still sick (of course), and someone will surely be kind enough to tell him that Al's been kidnapped. Again. And there's going to be a draft now, and he's not on it, even though the enemies are being captured instead of killed, and goddammit this week sucks.

In other words, it's not long before he's out and about again, slightly more aggressive in his stance and occasionally punching trees, because there's very little else he can do right now. He will pop by to visit the friends or acquaintances of his that are drafted, though (or at least get close enough to where they live to look like he's thinking about checking on them).

...Well, there's at least one thing he can do to distract himself, so he'll try the journal later that night.]

...Hey, got a question. What kind of a gift can you get a girl without giving them the wrong idea or something?

I don't need a wife!

[Voice]

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2011-12-19 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Matter-of-factly:]

Well, of course you do.
ignitethesky: (Yep!)

[Voice]

[personal profile] ignitethesky 2011-12-21 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, fine. I'll let you find me a wife...

[Was that a little too easy? Well, there's always a catch!]

...on one condition: my Lieutenant has to approve her.

[Voice]
[YES VICTO--oh. Yes, there's always a catch.]

Right, then. We'll just have to wait for her to show up. And considering how many of us there are here, it's not completely unlikely.

...Or, you can just circumvent the process and marry the Lieutenant herself!

Well then I suppose this means wife-hunting is on hold unti-

[ wut? ]

I AM NOT MARRYING MY LIEUTENANT!

[Voice]

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2011-12-23 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well, if that's the attitude you're going to have about it, she shouldn't marry you, anyway.

[SIGH what is this conversation even?]

She isn't even here and I'm already wondering if you're trying to get me killed.

[Voice]

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2011-12-24 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry. I wouldn't say this if she were around. She'd kill me, too.

[AND HE'S ALREADY HAD ENOUGH OF THAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.]
ignitethesky: (But..!)

[Voice]

[personal profile] ignitethesky 2011-12-24 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Then why are you suggesting things that would get us both killed?

[Voice]

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2011-12-24 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
Because maybe if you got used to the idea over time, if she ever did show up you won't be so adverse to the idea!

[It's all about attitude, man.]

Hughes, even if you banked on the most minute of chances that I might be willing to consider considering such a thing, there is absolutely no guarantee that she would, which would only result in thwarting your entire plan. And that's if she happened to show up in the first place.

There is nothing wrong with being thirty and single.

[Voice]

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2011-12-24 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...Sure there is. You're running out of years to start a family!

[FACT.]

Can't I just get a dog or something?

[Voice]

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2011-12-27 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
...A dog can't raise your kids, Roy.
ignitethesky: (Eh..? ; Startled)

[Voice]

[personal profile] ignitethesky 2011-12-29 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
When did I get kids?

[Voice]

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2011-12-29 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hypothetically here, but you usually get them once you find a wife.

But first I'd have to meet someone, then spend time with them, then there's the whole "do I really want to tie myself to her for the rest of my life", and then I'd have to meet her family. On top of all of that, you have planning a wedding, then there's the honeymoon, and then if we decided we wanted kids at all, we'd have to plan for that, and then there's the nine months of me sitting around watching her swell up like a balloon, and the hours of hearing her scream about how much she hates me for knocking her up in the first place until the baby's born, and after that, you don't sleep until the kid's at least three.

I don't know that I could willingly bring myself to inflict that sort of thing on a woman.
